3:38 pm
appreciate your time i'll start with that with that little phrase that friends not. address these. trunks words what does he really mean by that you think. yeyeah i actualy thought this was a- moderately better than previous s speeches that donald trump has given on iriran. b because although he dd harshly criticized the government he accused them of beining responsible. foror the attack on saudi arabia and all these various incidents in the persian gulf he he did hold out an olive branch. as you pointed out he said the united states does not believe in permanent enemies that we want partners not adversaries. he also invade against endless war and he talked about how it took more courage. to make peace then to make war so those were good comments and of course the french president. has been pushing for some sort of compromise between the united states and iran. we're obviously not going to have a handshake between. president
3:39 pm
trump and how center honey but i should point out that hustler honey is giving an interview to president trump's favorite televisions channel fox news. later on today which will be his way of course addressing the president directly. and we're honey has come with some sort of peace plan it's- most likely a non starter but- you know i think that this is an opopportunity there is. a proposalal for a new cease fire in yemen. there some progress on thehe front front of syria and- this is an oppoportunity to de escalate now after things really have gottenn out of hand. but we will see the iranians of course are lookiki f for sanctions relief and there's no indication yet that that is coming. from the united states is not likely to be the sticking point barber you think decide that this idea that iran wawants the sanctions. liftftedd trump is likelely to say no way.
3:40 pm
well you know again how much es trunknk wants a new deal with iran if he wants a new deal if he wants new negotiations. he's going to have to at least restore some of the waivers that allow iran to export oil. perhaps approves the french proposal for a fifteen million dollar credit to iran. which president trump has talked about favorably in the past. without that i really can't see that it's going to be possible for the iranians. to join new talks and i also think we're going to continue to see incidents in the persian gulf. they need to leave it that we could talk a lot longer because the so much to talk about but things clearly. moving i in some way shape or form thank you very much indeed for joining us obviously the director of the future iran initiative. at the atlantic council. exports johnson is facing calls to resign. after thehe u. k. supree court overruled his suspension of parliament these calls. being led by the labour leaderr jeremy corbyn the lib dem leader jo swinson and leader of the scottish nationalists. she

3:43 pm
still say that they haven't received formal proposals. they've had soon the recent move non papers. see more on but they had some sort of. some sort of form of documentation from the government for the austin for the phone position. and i think we put you would see that until. the statart of the conservative party conference. that's going toto go ahead and how not often these are free. respect for it says. but i think peace is going for stretch do sort of one short strategy. well what we would do is make a a poser lost man and i hope t that could save the line it's w worth rememinding peoplei suppose that the- the current deal which was negotiated by teresa magwitch the- e. you agree with the still that but it's been rejected. three times by the house of commons certainly that was a non starter. but there's nothing she come from boris johnson and the- team disco within led by. the shady vehicle dominic

mind today is one of confidence it's at a coffee house. in total french authorities have spent over forty million euros and hired around six hundred extra officers to prepare for a potentially messy divorce with the gay. . yet despite these precautions many companies worried that the return of a hard border wilill drive up the cost of doing business with brbritain. french company to radios the world's third biggest sugar producer says customs checks could delay its trucks by up to two days severely impacting revenue. but at the turn of sugar is worth around four hundred you're racing with additional logistical and customs clearance costs. it could mean an extra two hundred euros per tonne of sugar. which is a 50% increase. so a recent study found that as many as a hundred and fororty thoususand frenenchs could be lost in the event of a no deal brexit. something which french authorities now see as

top directors at the now bankrupt holiday company had been paid a combined twenty million pounds in salaries and bonuses. since twenty fourtetee. no mark this kind of increase normally can take years. to produce a result but there's so much public outrage over this at the moment. the government is calling for quicker results. of course for sherman has other things to. to focus on as well. even boris johnson race not question about what the of the bosses were getting but i mean this question about him paying. public money to. a in inverted commas girlfriend of another issue which- causes scar along his place as well as the brakes addition the supreme court. lots of genuine questions and perhaps. thank you from city cape. this is great to see you. it's crosses judea. james cream the weights with me what's getting some argue. the spider brooch trending on social media tell us why the spider broaches trendy stuff well i am i suppose it has become symbolic in some respects all of a sudden holds being put to read this set. in a talk on the
3:53 pm
institutions as some would see it at least in briritain where the paparliamentnt was shot down suspended. i will put a lot of people feeling the spider bridge committee with well the lady in question she was one of the judges she delivered okay she delivered the verdict of the supreme court which basically said the propagation of our suspension. of parliament was on lawful which means apartment. resusume tomomorrow at at the house of commons. and she delivered that speech with that with a very as sort of striking statement broach the able statements. brooch trek often used by her majesty the queen as well l when you count samame aj. say it with a brooch maybe but in any case it's a diamond brooch and there's a big spied on so that's a lot of speculation about what the spider mites symbolize mark. in any case people felt it was somehow appropriate. and it quickly i took all five as a t. shirt. as a twitter account says very so they were sort of. you know it's with her account yeah there was a there was a twitter account. but the in any case a that the timing verdict was
3:54 pm
delivered with the eat this huge cliff responsible to o the jury swiftly obtained its own. to recount black tee shirt. at with the spider design you can see it here mark i think that's going for. what is it about ten. ten pounds six construction off apparently along the money's locals to shelter a charity so a charity which helps homeless people that's right a good calls. for a good cause and then there was a course of twenty of. people being frivolous as well and spider broke spite approach. i think of riffing off. its spiderman. as by the british. despite my with zoom on despite approach and than that was played approached by the bush giving johnson a stern reproach. so i suppose it is a good example of twitter we shouldn't be think you should. know it is a good example of my brakes are several. dance issue with an awful lot of consequences that are negative and people getting very upset about is a very polarizing issue. and i often think that. it's great when a little bit of comic relief comes through on social media. i'm reminded of at the better. aspects of. over
