this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. talks aimed at reviving the iran nuclear deal have been adjourned in vienna, with indications that a deal may be close, but it's not there yet. israel's new prime minister says that world powers should not negotiate with iran, after the election of hardliner ebrahim raisi as president. raisi's election is, i would say, the last chance for the world powers to wake up before we're turning to the nuclear agreement and to understand who they're doing business with. early indications from france suggest that the far right politician marine le pen has failed to make a breakthrough in regional elections. here in the uk, a senior scientist suggests that people who've had both their covid jabs, might eventually be able to travel without quarantining.

i think in the time in the future, i'm not sure when, but a time in the future, i can imagine a situation where we will have alternatives to isolation for people who have two doses of the vaccine. welcome to the olympic village in tokyo, but with shared facilities, from dining areas to flats and gyms, how will athletes manage to stay safe from covid? the man at the covid measure they will enforce is to make ——the main anti covid measure they will enforce is to make everybody who comes in wear a mask come even when they are on these machines. it is hard to see how they enforce that or how these olympic level athletes will wear a mask while training hard on one of these machines. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world.

we're closer to a deal, but we're still not there. that's the verdict of the eu's envoy to the iran nuclear talks, after the latest round of negotiations in vienna. iran's chief negotiator also says that agreement is closer than ever — but washington says there's still some way to go. so what was the orginal agreement — and could it be brought back to life? in 2015, iran and six other countries reached a deal. tehran would stop some nuclear work in return for an end to economic sanctions. but in may 2018 president trump abandoned the deal and reinstated sanctions. iran responded by enriching uranium above permitted levels. in april of this year iran and several world powers resumed negotiating in vienna, hoping to find a way to bring back the deal. i'm joined now by ali vaez in washington. he's the iran director at the international crisis group. thank at the international crisis group. you very much fo|

here thank you very much forjoining us here on bbc news. we haven't got many specific details, happily, yet, but all sides are about progress. what might they mean? 50 i think the are what might they mean? so i think they are working _ what might they mean? so i think they are working on _ what might they mean? so i think they are working on a _ what might they mean? so i think they are working on a joint - what might they mean? so i think| they are working on a joint draught which has some brackets and it and they have been able to progressively resolve some of those brackets, but there are still some serious differences remaining. i think one has to understand that in the meantime, when the deal was basically being violated both by the united states and iran, things have been done that are not easily reversible. for instance, the us has imposed sanctions on iran for pretexts that are not related to its nuclear programme, for instance on human rights violations are iran �*s ballistic missile programme or regional activities that the biden administration believes are not inconsistent with that process and wants to keep them in place. iran has made nuclear advancements that are not easily reversible because it has been achieved through research

and develop meant and so cannot be wiped out from the minds of iranian scientists. we wiped out from the minds of iranian scientists. ~ ., ., , scientists. we now have different ersonnel scientists. we now have different personnel involved, _ scientists. we now have different personnel involved, of _ scientists. we now have different personnel involved, of course, i personnel involved, of course, because there is a new president in the white house, and a new president in tehran, and ultraconservative clara, but someone who is acutely aware of tome of the impact that sanctions are having. how do these new figures change the atmosphere of these talks? ~ . , , ., , ., these talks? well, it appears to me that both sides _ these talks? well, it appears to me that both sides are _ these talks? well, it appears to me that both sides are keen _ these talks? well, it appears to me that both sides are keen on - these talks? well, it appears to me that both sides are keen on trying l that both sides are keen on trying to finalise this agreement before power changes hands in tehran. it is much easier that way, and it's also something i believe is in favour of newly elected president because this way he can come in with a clean slate, blaming raw honey was the key architect and advocates of the original agreement for any shortcomings while reaping the economic dividends of the deal. the question is whether they would then be willing to negotiate the following agreement which is what president biden has in mind. the

iran and boy _ president biden has in mind. the iran and boy is _ president biden has in mind. the iran and boy is quoted as saying that a lot of what happens next is down to washington �*s reaction, so pushing the responsibility back onto them. how inclined do you thinkjoe biden is to see it that way? them. how inclined do you thinkjoe biden is to see it that way?- biden is to see it that way? look, without any _ biden is to see it that way? look, without any doubt, _ biden is to see it that way? look, without any doubt, it _ biden is to see it that way? look, without any doubt, it would - biden is to see it that way? look, without any doubt, it would take l without any doubt, it would take flexibility and political will on both sides of the agreement. as i said, it's not entirely restorable, and if both sides understand that and if both sides understand that and also understand that the alternatives to restoring the deal, which is basically an exponentially growing programme on the one hand and the staggering us sanctions on the other, it's not that much more attractive for either side. i think they would be able to overcome their differences and finalise this deal. no direct talks between tehran and washington. how important is that that that happens?— washington. how important is that that that happens? well, this is one ofthe that that happens? well, this is one of the reasons _ that that happens? well, this is one of the reasons that _ that that happens? well, this is one of the reasons that these _ that that happens? well, this is one of the reasons that these talks - that that happens? well, this is one of the reasons that these talks have j

of the reasons that these talks have been so time—consuming. i remember during the negotiations in 2014 and 2015 that led to the original agreement. whenever we were in a similar situationjohn kerry us similar situation john kerry us secretary similar situationjohn kerry us secretary of state and the tehran foreign minister would get together and bridge the gap. without the direct talks, this has created a lot of challenges for the mediators who are the europeans and russians and chinese, buts, again, they are pretty close and with political well, i think they would be able to overcome the remaining obstacles. thank you very much for your time. thank you very much for your time. thank you. meanwhile israel's new prime minister has said that the world needs to wake up to threat posed by iran. naftali bennett was speaking as he chaired his first cabinet meeting. raisi's election is, i would say, the last chance for the world powers to wake up before we're turning to the nuclear agreement and to understand who they're doing business with. these guys are murderers, mass murderers. a regime of brutal hangmen must never be allowed to have weapons of mass destruction that will enable it to kill not thousands, but millions.

israel's position will not change on this. joel greenberg from bbc monitoring injerusalem told us more about the significance of naftali bennett's comments. there has been a change of government but the policy remains that israel would allow iran to get a nuclear weapon whatever that means right now. there is diplomacy under way, the israeli army chief of staff has phoned washington and they're trying to influence the outcome but in general the israeli position is negative on the 2015 agreement and that has not changed. previous prime minister netanyahu was opposed to any conversation about this and was opposed to returning to the 2015 deal. here there is some manoeuvring space for discussions with the americans on what shape the new deal it may take. in general this government, because it is such a disparate coalition of different factions, has agreed to set aside a lot of ideological differences and work on domestic issues. but as you can see foreign affairs

of their with the palestinian issue, the iranian issue, so it will be hard for them to obey that. they are having trouble passing a piece of legislation and government, now i'm sorry come in parliament, and they have a one—vote majority in parliament, it will be difficult them for them to hold it together. it is a fragile coalition and they will have to show a lot of coalition discipline to maintain the ranks in parliament and pass laws and get policy promoted in the legislation. it's looking as though the far—right party of marine le pen has failed to make the electoral break—through it was hoping for in france, where a first round of regional elections has been taking place. exit polls put her party in second place , well behind the main centre right republicans, but still ahead of emmanuel marcon�*s centrists. the regional elections are being watched closely, for any clues as to who might do well in next year's presidential contest. 0ur correspondent in paris, hugh schofield, told me more.

it is a very complicated election, and it breaks down into regions, so it is very hard to be sure there is any hard and fast reflection of national tendencies or trends that will come to fruit in the election next year for the presidency but marine la and was hoping for a big showing on this first round of the vote and she had a really got it as far as i can see. it looks like her vote nationally is about 20% but the vote for the mainstream right is much larger about 29%. she was hoping to be able to show that into regions in particular around the south and the north that she wouldn't stand a chance of getting those in the second row next week in both look much more problematic now than they did 24 hours ago. so this is not a great night for her. nor is it a great night for president macron because as predicted, this is where he can say we would do

very well but his score and his party score is very low. probably 10% nationally and in many regions his party won't get to the zoo check around because it is so low. he will be able to save that us because we still are a young party and the turnout of the selection was so desperately low, only about 33%, admit that broadly speaking that governors ——only about 33%, it meant that broadly speaking that governors are republican or councils which are in place already, be left to show do well and therefore a big kind of reward for whoever was in place at the time. here in the uk, a leading scientific adviser has suggested that people who have been double vaccinated could face fewer restrictions. dr susan hopkins of public health england said that might include the possibility of them not having to self—isolate or quarantine. ministers here are aiming to have two thirds of the adult population double—jabbed by the new uk

unlocking date ofjuly the 19th here's our health correspondent anna collinson. all adults in england can now receive a coronavirus vaccine, and demand is high. nhs england says more than 700,000 appointments were booked on the first day over—18s became eligible. over the weekend, football stadiums, including here in tottenham, have transformed into large vaccination centres. and these long queues of people will be a heart—warming sight for health officials who say, the more people who are jabbed, the sooner ourfreedom can return. ben, you're 18 and you've travelled over an hour to be here today — why? because getting vaccinated is so important. i mean, it will reduce hospital admissions, and it'll make me a lot happier to see my parents. especially with going to university in september, we are hoping that we can have a normal life. i'm expecting that, - by the end of the year, for people who are vaccinated, borders will be much... - it will be easier to cross borders. i'll be able to go back- to india, meet my parents, go back to singapore,

meet my friends. - all adults in wales and northern ireland can also book a vaccine. so can over—18s in glasgow. but for the rest of scotland, people need to be over 30. this comes as a trial is looking to see if people who are fully vaccinated can avoid self—isolating if a close contact tests positive. they would instead take daily tests. we are moving steps forward, and i think that, in a time in the future, i'm not sure when, but at a time in the future, i can imagine the situation where we will have alternatives to isolation for people who have two doses of the vaccine. alternatives to isolation could also open up foreign travel, which would help the uk's struggling aviation industry. ministers say they are trying to be as flexible as possible. well, of course, there's frustration. all of us want to have a holiday in the sun wherever possible, but we are right as well to balance that with the need to control variants of concern. scientists advised we should holiday at home this summer, but, from tomorrow, the scottish government

is introducing a travel ban to and from parts of greater manchester amid concerns about high infection rates, a move that has angered the mayor. i'll be writing to thel first minister today. i'll be asking for compensation i for the individuals who might lose holidays and the businesses who might lose bookings. . you know, why should a couple - from salford who are double—jabbed, who are about to go on a walking holiday in scotland _ not be able to go? it's completely disproportionate. this pop—up vaccination site in halifax is hoping to curb rising cases. are you allergic to anything? so far, 59% of adults have received two doses. the government wants this to have risen beyond 66% byjuly the 19th in the hope complete unlocking can follow. anna collinson, bbc news. athletes staying at the olympic village in tokyo will have to take unusually strict precautions to prevent any outbreaks of the coronavirus. rupert wingfield—hayes has been to the athletes�* village. this is the tokyo olympic village,

it's the first chance any of us in the media have had a chance to take a look at what would be the hub of the tokyo olympic games because in a few weeks' time thousands of athletes from all over the world will arrive in tokyo and this is where they will stay during the games. the olympic organisers have brought us here to show us how they will do that safely. this is a representation of what the athletes' village bedrooms look like, and these are the beds. they are quite small. they are also made of cardboard, which is environmentally friendly, but the main issue about this is the bedrooms is they are shared, as they always have been, but because of the pandemic they have been many experts who have said that sharing rooms

is a really bad idea. so this is one of the main dining halls, and you can see it's pretty vast, and it needs to be because they will serve 45,000 meals every day during the games. now, to mitigate the risk of having so many people coming in here every day and mixing together, they are telling athletes that they need to use their smartphone app to find out when it's least busy here, to come alone, to pick up their meal and come to one of these tables which will have plastic dividers on them, and they are being told they must then eat their meal alone and do so quickly. it doesn't sound like an awful lot of fun, but that is how they are trying to mitigate the risk. this is the main gym and again you can see it's pretty huge, apparently, there is room for 500 people to train at any one time here and they have these dividers between the machines, but the main anti—covid measure they will enforce here is to make everybody who comes in wear a mask, even when they are on these machines, and it's hard to see how you would enforce that but how these athletes will wear a mask while training hard on one of these machines.

so this is a facility that is specifically built because of the covid—19 pandemic, you would not find it at a normal 0lympics, this is a fever clinic, that is where you go and get tested if you have a fever or develop symptoms, you then get a pcr test and if that comes back positive the athlete will be brought to one of these specialist isolation rooms, and this has an air filtration system which means no virus can get out of the room and this is where they will be kept until they can be moved somewhere else. rupert wingfield hales in tokyo. the headlines on bbc news... talks aimed at reviving the iran nuclear deal have been adjourned in vienna, with indications that a deal may be close, but it's not there yet. a senior scientist says it might be possible for people with both covid jabs to face fewer restrictions in the uk, and travel without quarantining. for the millions of young people living in south korea's capital seoul, living though the pandemic has meant

hours upon hours of being stuck in virtual classrooms. with no chance of seeing their friends or playing outside, many say it has left them feeling isolated and depressed. however, some families have been abandoned the megacity and embarked on a more rural life. as part of our education interrupted series, julie yoonnyung lee has been to meet them. freedom. after almost a year cooped up freedom. after almost a year cooped up inside a small inner city apartment, a 11—year—old is finally free to roam. translation: , ., . translation: during the pandemic, i couldn't go — translation: during the pandemic, i couldn't go to _ translation: during the pandemic, i couldn't go to school _ translation: during the pandemic, i couldn't go to school and _ translation: during the pandemic, i couldn't go to school and i - translation: during the pandemic, i couldn't go to school and i took - couldn't go to school and i took online classes every day. i cried a lot. it was so hard. there were lots of things i wanted to do but i couldn't do any of them. but

the road, which was cut two years ago, remains closed further east. counting is under way in armenia, after a snap parliamentary election, called by the prime minister. early indications suggest mr pashinyan's party is doing well, despite months of of protests demanding his resignation. the opposition blames mr pashinyan for signing a peace accord with azerbaijan — after armenia was defeated in last year's war over the territory of nagorno—karabakh. the war cost armenians nearly 5,000 lives and swathes of territory. it's estimated 200 people are still being held captive by azerbaijan. the bbc�*s grigor atanasian has more from the armenian capital of yerevan. this election has been triggered by issues lecture for the issues come from that defeat,

issues like the return of our many apartment prisoners of war still held in the national security defence and intelligence. the people here also care about the economy, about free and fair elections, health care and aboutjobs, about their future. all of these issues come into this race which is dominated by two very different leaders, the incoming prime minister pashinyan and former president. the choice between them also means a choice of foreign policy. the former president is a personal friend of president putin and he wants a closer relationship with the russians. pashinyan wanted to keep a good relationship with russia but also look towards the west and more with the european union on armenia democratic reform. with a wing—span of almost three metres, the dalmatian pelican is one of the largest — and most impressive — birds on the planet. but its population has been dwindling for decades, and now environmentalists are warning that measures to preserve the species will fail, unless the(map giant bird's wild

habitat is also restored. the bbc�*s abdujalil abdurasulov reports now from one of europe's largest wetlands — the danube delta. finding dalmatian pelicans is not an easy task. they hide and remote and accessible areas. like other birds and wildlife, they don't like to be disturbed. every year, a team of scientists conduct a survey of the population. they crisscrossed the danube delta, one of the largest wetlands in europe and count every pelican they observe. translation: over all, on a european scale, - the population of dalmatian pelicans is decreasing, the species are threatened. one of the main reasons for that is the loss of habitat. they cannot nest. they need wetlands where they won't be disturbed

by predators and people. most parts of the survey are conducted by boat. we are going to the very heart of the danube delta. the scientists are worried about the weather not so much about the rain but about the wind, because it is if it is too windy, it will not be safe to visit some of the areas where they hope to see the dalmatian pelicans. the mouth of the danube where the river flows into the black sea is one of the favourite places for pelicans. but as the wind got stronger, the scientist decided to avoid shallow sea waters and chose to visit calmer areas, the inner lakes and the wetland. they found a flock of pelicans there. these were white pelicans. their survey is focused on the dalmatian pelicans. they have distinctive curley feathers on the head.

while white pelicans are doing well, the population of the dalmatian pelica ns is under threat. monitoring the species will help scientist to understand how healthy the ecosystem is. it is part of a larger initiative to restore the danube delta. they call it re wilding. re wilding is by a large reinstated in a shared process, letting the nature lead, the key nature processes here re flooding, what they need to do is reconnect some of the borders back to the river. the second very fundamental process in the delta was natural grazing. we called them architects of the landscape. to introduce natural grazing, these horses and buffaloes and red deer have been brought here recently. they feed on vegetation and it helps to transform the landscape into a habitat attractive for birds and other animals. the healthy wetland is crucial

for pelicans to breathe. ——the healthy wetland is crucial for pelicans to breed. the scientist have found no pelicans nesting in the area but they are confident that soon this will change. after the weather, we will take a look at tomorrow pos my friend pages. our guestsjoining us tonight are the spectators kate andrews and james rampton from the independent. but for now, the weather. hello. like it or not, we've reached that turning point in the year — summer solstice, the longest day, on monday with nearly 19 hours of daylight in shetland. just over 16—and—a—half across the channel islands. but, across some southern areas, you will be lucky to see sunrise or sunset. it is going to be a fairly cloudy and wet start to the week here. brightening up as the week goes on as things turned a bit cloudier and more showery further north as we go through the week and, to start with rather cool, too. an area of low pressure to the southwest of us which has

thrown up some weather fronts to take us into the start of monday across southern counties of england. it's here where there will be more persistent rain on the south coast first thing. not a cold start here, but chillier elsewhere with clear skies away from this zone of thicker cloud in southern scotland producing 1—2 showers. that will push into northern england slowly as we go through the day, sunshine either side of it. but notice how the rain develops more widely in southern counties of england as we go through monday, inching up close to the south and east midlands, parts of east anglia, too, maybe even close to southeast wales. but much of wales and the midlands stays dry and bright, still got the northeasterly breeze here and, where the rain is falling, temperatures will struggle to get above the mid teens. a few showers in northern england, but towards the western coast here, west wales and western scotland, we could get to around 19—20 celsius during the afternoon. now, through monday night, rain still at times across these southern counties of england — that will stop temperatures from falling, but clearer skies, midlands, wales, northwards means it's going to be a chilly start to tuesday morning. the first night after the summer solstice, we could even see a touch of frost

through some shelter valleys in the grampians. that's because we've got an area of high pressure building up from the azores — wrong side of us, though, because around it, we're bringing in some cold air from the north as we go through tuesday. cold relative to the time of year, of course, but it will help to clear away the rain eventually from the southernmost counties of england. long, sunny spells for most to begin with, clouding over a touch through the afternoon across england and wales as the cloud builds up and spreads out. not as chilly for some of you as monday will have been. another cool night across england and wales as we go into wednesday. here, the best of the dry and brighter weather, but clouds spitting in from the northwest will bring in a few spots of rain or drizzle. even with that cloud, though, slightly milder air, 18—19 celsius across the north, but 21 further south. thursday will bring that cloud further south — in fact, the end of the week cloudy for most with a few splashes of rain at times, but temperatures near average forjune.

hello, this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines. talks aimed at reviving the iran nuclear deal have been adjourned in vienna,

with indications that a deal may be close, but it's not there yet. that's despite israel's new prime minister urging world powers not to negotiate with iran's new hardline president. exit polls in france suggest marine le pen has not achieved the big breakthrough she'd hoped for in regional elections. her party is expected to come second, behind the centre—right republicans, but ahead of president macron's party. a senior scientist says it might be possible for people with both covid jabs to face fewer restrictions, and travel without quarantining. i think in the time in the future, i'm not sure when, but a time in the future, i can imagine a situation where we will have alternatives to isolation for people who have two doses of the vaccine. wales celebrate as they qualify for the last 16 in the euro 2020 tournament — despite defeat in rome.
