a different understanding at the new could a deal to chair the same goal of keeping iran from getting nuclear weapons. and we need to address the new role of iran in the region. at the moment i don't see any better or other suggestions for a better deal i think it's wise to stick to the one we. must 100. a deal he hopes will keep tensions from escalating. let me not draw india because fun and rebecca written in brussels brussels will make a defunct a.o. get the support he was hoping for in brussels. well that's hard to say on rita without knowing exactly what might pompei or wanted from this meeting today but if we assume that he wanted the e.u. to support the u.s. in scrapping the iran nuclear deal then the answer to that is definitely no the e.u. went into that meeting into those meetings those sideline talks with pompei oh pretty

united that they weren't going to back down and they've come out the other side of those meetings with exactly the same message we heard the e.u. foreign policy chief. speak a little while ago she said that the e.u. remain committed to the agreement and they really holding a united front on that and what is the european strategy to salvage the nuclear deal with iran rebecca. they haven't really given a public statement about what they're going to do but they what they are going to continue doing basically keep the status quo they want to maintain the deal they they think it's a good deal they think it's an important deal and they want to continue doing business with iran so long as they can without incurring those u.s. sanctions threatened by the u.s. . basically they they want to keep going on business as usual but business leaders here in brussels have said that if they were threatened with a sanctions if if if the price for doing business with iran was to incur u.s.

sanctions then they would be forced to reconsider and at the same rebecca their new tensions in the persian gulf some of the rebel says its oil tankers were attacked calling this a criminal action a threat to navigation and international security the united arab emirates says that for commercial vessels were hit by unspecified quote sabotage attacks near the port city of jeddah off its eastern coast and the saudi energy minister says 2 of the kingdom's oil tankers were among the targets the last incidents come as the u.s. warns that iran or its proxies could be targeting maritime traffic in the region iran has called for an investigation to find out who is responsible and. what is the take on this incident. well we really have to stress that those are just reports on rita that something that frederica really really stressed in her

hear about doris day and i believe she wanted to be a dom so she did as a child but she had a very bad car accident a car the car she was in was hit by a train leaving off broken leg very badly couldn't anymore and she started listening to the fitzgerald and became a singer and that she sang with a lot of the big bands of that time you know some of the big big bounce that's here and most famous and we had just a teeny bit of let's hear it properly you'll recognize this one. can say that i was that i was. who are. you will be. the future is not to see. gays said ah. what. will be. i thought it was great singing voice clean and pure a bit like her image on the screen i think in this film with such

a favorite of my mother's and she was a very clean cut miss america but she never won an oscar no she didn't she didn't although she did get nominated she got nominated pope possibly have most famous film pillow talk with rock hudson i think we've got a clip of which was the film that really rocketed to make a stardom back in. 959 and she went on to do a number of films with rock hudson was a lifelong friend of hers and. there they are always going to stay in the bath together but of course. they're in separate. of course talking all the followed. but anyway funnily enough one of the films that eventually became one of this was actually calamity jane which she starred in way back in 1953 and she'd love making that movie because she was a bit of a tomboy and it was her idea to sort of leap on the counter here which ladies

didn't really do back then in films i mean we're talking 65 years ago in the early sixty's she was the biggest female star in hollywood i think 4 years in a row however the end of the sixty's the sexual revolution start against hwang because she was too clean cut she also turned down some good rose she actually turned down playing mrs robinson in the graduate museum and she was paid of course by anne bancroft ok now but a sadly how private life was not quite as clean cut as the image no no it wasn't she was married 4 times and indeed one of our husbands practically bankrupted she she. with the help of his lawyer and forced to do t.v. shows you really didn't want to do t.v. shows but the doris day show and the early ninety's seventy's was hugely popular and revived her career but from 980 really she has been acting on the screen ever since then right job in may of talking my doris day thank you very much for coming
