and liam fox dr liam fox are making trade agreements and his goal is that of the 40 agreements now in place to replicate them 63 percent have already been replicated among those other countries of the 40 we troll countries some of those are for example with switzerland norway chile to name a few. and then hillary obviously it's a confidence boost to get try to be logical a psychological boost to get this trade agreement in the middle of true difficulties but on the specific terms of it what do the 2 parties get out of this agreement it really mirrors actually the existing agreements there's nothing really drastically different i think what's important to note though is that i mean most of the products that go there are sort of cars and fuel and accept from the u.k. but i would say this what they both get out of it is the u.k. gets out a huge bog. shit here the u.k. now can turn around to any other nation some things are already in place and with the e.u. it strengthens the u.k.'s position what does south korea get out of the deal south korea now has a definite market and a trading par

we heard liam fox suggesting there should be some explanation.government. the problem is that we've seen time and time again mrjohnson's personal life and his character coming into question. the question is whether that will happen again. thank you. reports in the us say america launched a cyber attack on iranian weapons systems on thursday, as president trump cancelled air strikes on the country. several sources, including the washington post, said the attack disabled computer systems controlling rocket and missile launchers. the action was in response to the shooting down of a us drone in the strait of hormuz last week. a senior british foreign minister has arrived in tehran today for talks amid growning tensions between iran and the west. jane frances—kelly reports. america appears to have used cyberspace rather than airpower to retaliate against iran's elite military forces. us media reports that the online operation was designed to cripple weapons systems like this, used by the islamic revolutionary guard to shoot down an american drone last

let's stay with brexit, because the uk secretary of state for international trade, liam fox, will ben agreement in principle on trade with south korea. now, remember, the uk cannot sign a formal agreement until it leaves the eu. our business reporter mariko oi has the details. that's right, this is an agreement to agree in the future because as you said the uk can‘t sign a formal deal until it leaves the eu. nevertheless, liam fox has been very busy negotiating possible bilateral trade deals with various countries across asia, and he will be signing this deal in principle with his south korean counterpart in just under an hour‘s time. this is the first trade agreement in principle here in asia, and it is very important for the uk. because if you remember south korea has a free trade deal with the eu which has benefited the uk until now, but it will no longer be in effect after brexit, and from the south korean perspective, the uk is the second biggest trading partner in the eu after germany, so it was important for seoul to come to this agreement as well. the uk will continue negotia

if he becomes prime minister dan spoke to liam fox at the conference in dubai.at else did he tell you? >> good morning. in this conversation we had with liam fox, he was able to explain why this is so important he is in town to break ground on the uk pavilion for the expo we also took this opportunity to speak with him about the ongoing unfinished jigsaw puzzle that is brexit and of course the tory leadership race in the uk. on the issue of the leadership, he said he's still backing jeremy hunt, his commitment is unwavering i asked him if he was backing a losing horse he said no on the issue of brexit, this is on top of the agenda and indeed one of the biggest issues of national focus now, he said that there needs to be compromise on both sides, and he hit back at that commentary from boris johnson which suggested that the uk could be heading towards a no-deal exit he said that would be damaging for the eu and for the uk, and both sides need to come up with a solution listen in. >> my colleagues in the uk need to understand this is not a yune r unilateral proces

but others, like international trade secretary liam fox, who's backing jeremy hunt, said today mrjohnsonuld have given an explanation of what happened. here's our political correspondent nick eardley. often in the headlines, this time for the wrong reasons. after police were called to the flat borisjohnson shares with his girlfriend, mrjohnson has been reluctant to explain. i don't think they want to hear about that kind of thing, er... applause. but this senior tory, who's backing mrjohnson‘s leadership rivaljeremy hunt, said an explanation would be sensible. it's always easier to just give an explanation, but i think the key thing is then how you get on the issues. what we can't have is it being a distraction from explanations about wider policy. mrjohnson‘s team say he has never answered questions about his private life and won't start now. his supporters say we should move on. the police were called to an incident and what they say? they said everybody was safe, everybody was well, there was no concerns that the officers had and there was no cause for any further action. given that's

liam fox suggested some of borisjohnson‘s claims about what would happen if we leave without a deal areson‘s supporters say their man can deliver. we need a leader with a determination to follow through, go through to the 31st of october, leave, preferably with a deal but without a deal if necessary. he will be asked many more questions over the next few weeks, but for now, he's the man to beat. nick eardley, bbc news. mick is here with me. picking up on what liz said. there was a sense among the activists yesterday at the hustings, ask the questions and then move on. why does the attention not seem to have moved on? mrjohnson wa nts to seem to have moved on? mrjohnson wants to move on, he has made it clear he does not want to talk about it. his team think that he has never spoken about his private life so why would he now? but there are some in the political world who think it is a question of character. boris johnson could be prime minister in just over four weeks' time. some people say we deserve to know more about the character of the person who could be leading the country is. that

liam fox there.check scheme designed to stop under 18s viewing pornographic websites has been delayed for a second time. it was supposed to introduced in april last year and is being be put off again for around six months. the new rules would require porn sites to verify the age of uk internet users who could face being blocked if they fail to comply. but questions remain over how the system will be enforced with concerns it could be circumvented. in a statement, the culture secretary admitted this fresh delay was due to a error by his department. the guidance on age verification arrangements sets out standards that companies need to comply with. this should have been notified to the european union commission in line with the technical standards and regulations directive. and it was not. upon learning of this administrative oversight, i've instructed my department to notify this guidance to the eu, and the guidance in parliament, as soon as possible. however, i expect that this will result in a delay

we must remember thatjeremy hunt's liam fox and boris johnson remember thatjeremy hunt's liam fox andt considering the deaths of civilians. we have seen hundreds of thousands of children die, starvation, we have to do something. the fact the government are going to appeal thisjust the fact the government are going to appeal this just sounds so much. can i pick appeal this just sounds so much. can ipick up appeal this just sounds so much. can i pick up what was just set about what is's the fact that his language is so sloppy, and certainly i have had lots of colleagues visit richard radcliffe outside the iranian embassy will stop who is asking for help when it comes to the extension of his wives incarceration. that is because of the sloppy language that we have seen. but how do you deal with the borisjohnson premiership? clearly he will be a very different prime minister in terms of his campaigning style, the way he relates to the public. so how does jeremy corbyn front up to a boris johnson prime minister? we get him out and we have a general election and we have a labour government.

clearly liam fox is busy hard at work trying to get as many trade deals in place in principle for whenhe european union. what do you make of this announcement today? well, as we say, the devil is in the details and the notion of in principle is where the notion of in principle is where the warning bells should go off because at the end of the day what matters is what is the content of that agreement going forward? it would be a good thing to maintain a rollover and not have tariffs after a hard brexit but the fact this cannot even be enacted until the uk leaves the eu means that there is in any leaves the eu means that there is in a ny eve nt leaves the eu means that there is in any event going to be a gap. don't forget this is a tiny percentage of the uk's global trade. so it is kind of like the biggest part of the uk is obviously the rest of the eu, 50%, so the guy who lost the biggest file at the firm running in and saying i lost the biggest file but i think one of our smaller customers is going to continue to trade with us. is going to continue to trade with us. i see what you mean

liam fox suggested some of borisjohnson‘s claims about what would happen if we leave without a deal arebut mrjohnson‘s supporters say their man can deliver. we need a leader with a determination to follow through, go through to the 31st of october, leave, preferably with a deal but without a deal if necessary. he will be asked many more questions over the next few weeks, but for now, he's the man to beat. nick eardley, bbc news. let's talk to and on the line. what do you make about how bonus has handled the stories?” do you make about how bonus has handled the stories? i think his view that it has been an entirely private matter and that the police we re private matter and that the police were happy there was nothing to take forward. the difficulty is that although a lot of people are using this as an excuse to go after boris johnson and show his unsuitability as they see it for office, i didn't think it will be possible to get through this very intense period of hustings without that question coming up again and again. i think you will have to say something because he needs to separate

it is hard to predict, you have people supporting people you won't might not expect, liam fox, a bigteer supporting jeremy hunt the former foreign secretary for example. we have seen today donald trump giving his views on some of them, and also meeting some of them face—to—face. it depends whether people think the endorsement of donald trump is a positive or a negative. i think people think that if borisjohnson negative. i think people think that if boris johnson is negative. i think people think that if borisjohnson is able to get onto that ballot paper is one of the final two, which is when the tory party must will decide, then he is going to have a very big chancel will be very difficult to stop. very good to talk to you. vicki young, our chief political correspondent in westminster. let's catch up with the weather now, stan has the forecast. there was a cloud and wet day today with the heaviest rain towards western areas. 0vernight, the pressure will move northward meaning that rain will become confined to more northern parts of the uk. scotland and northern ireland were lots of

the uk's secretary of state for international trade, liam fox, hasjust signed an "agreement in principalde with south korea. the deal includes keeping zero—tariffs on south korean exports such as auto parts and automobiles after britain leaves the european union. remember, the uk cannot sign a formal agreement until it leaves the eu — trade negotiators are doing all they can to ensure a smooth path once it does. what it means is that if britain leaves the eu without a deal, we get continuity in the trading arrangements are businesses can claim for both trade and investment with confidence. if we do get a deal, this means we now have a springboard to a future trade agreement that can be more ambitious than the one career currently has with the european union. for both of us with the european union. for both of us it is forward—looking, ambitious and confident. suzanne spears, from partner, allen & overyjoins me. good morning. this story has literally been breaking overnight with international trade secretary making it clear he is doing all it can to position the uk post brexit? exactly ca

his fellow brexiteer liam fox, who is backing mr hunt, said it was wrong to say tariff arrangements mayhange for up to ten years. it isn't true, that is the problem. if we have no deal, for example, we are likely to face tariffs from the european union. they have already said twice they will apply full tariffs to the uk which would make our exports less competitive because our prices of uk goods in european shops would go up. bad forjobs? and potentially bad for the economy. but mrjohnson‘s supporters say he has got it right and mr hunt will let people down. the idea we can continue to pursue the policy of kicking the can down the road, which is what the other candidate in this leadership race is advocating... jeremy hunt has said he would be prepared to delay beyond the 31st of october. i think that would be a disaster. with four weeks to go and hustings in all parts of the uk, both leadership contenders know the scrutiny will continue. vicki young explained why the private life scrutiny is difficult for both. jeremy hunt has been very careful all day in every interview to say that he

people like liam fox, one of the few not in the race, have talked about it are saying there is no reasonson why it could not be done quickly. others say you cannot suddenly replace all of that free trade we do with the eu, put that to one side and replace it with a trade deal with america, it with a trade deal with america, it does not work like that. it is much harder, europe is still the biggest market on our doorstep. reminder that we are waiting for theresa may to emerge with president trump from number ten and looking ahead to this news conference that is getting under way shortly, how much trepidation do you think theresa may and her may be feeling? she has been stung by what donald trump has said, hasn't she? last year, his criticism of her handling of brexit. and i am sure donald trump us people would like to think he will be extremely diplomatic but then he hasn't got a track record in diplomacy, has he? no. they are so different, aren't they? when you look at them as characters in front of the cameras, you could not have two people who act more differently. she is reticent on c
