one would assume he did the same in hisjob as foreign secretary, yet he mishandled the case of nazanin zaghari that people have considered racist. is that down to him not listening to those around him? yeah, no. i think the challenge there is that the role of foreign secretary and the role being a secretary of state is very different to the role of mayor and the role of prime minister. these are effectively executive roles. you look across the big piece, you're in charge, you decide you have big teams around you. the role of foreign secretary wasn't like that. you know, boris is probably... he would have felt being advised by probably a small group of very well—meaning civil servants, but he was probably not getting the broader view. the thing that boris likes, and i think will continue to do, is he wants opinions from across the board. he likes a multitude of different voices, diverse voices giving him different opinions. then he takes a view. he doesn't want one view or two views, he wants five, six, seven, eight. and then he will take a view. that's how he looks at his view of the world, it

course, he had dealings with the iranian government but he was criticised for his role in the nazanin zaghariermany, russia and china met representatives from iran in vienna. all those countries are signatories to thejoint agreement. tensions in the gulf have soared since last year when president donald trump withdrew the united states from the landmark accord, which curbed tehran's nuclear programme in return for an easing of economic sanctions. we can speak to our correspondent in vienna, bethany bell. bethany, the meeting is breaking up. what is the tone of the remarks that you are hearing? it is interesting. we heard from iran's deputy foreign minister saying that the talks were constructive and all sides were determined to save the iran nuclear deal but it is interesting that while presidents rohani had warm words for boris johnson, while presidents rohani had warm words for borisjohnson, it was said that the seizure of an oil tanker later this month was a violation of the deal and that is a step that hasn't been made before. you will remember that britain sees that ship in gibraltar bec

multifaceted deal which involved the release of the iranian tanker in gibraltar and also release of nazanin zaghari for chieftain tanks which were paid for but never delivered. they would have to orchestrate this, because it would be... this reminds me thatjohn bolton who is now the security adviser — once called you jack of tehran, for your commitment to keep the dialogue, the notion of engagement... indeed, butjohn bolton has called iran wrong on every occasion. the problem with whatjohn bolton and president trump have been doing is not undermining the people who may take objection, and so do i. they've been strengthening them. you served as foreign secretary to tony blair. his contention led him to put british forces into iraq, and the united kingdom could not afford to be anything but the closest partner to the united states. it was always going to to be, as he said, in britain's best interest. is that still true today, with donald trump in the white house? it is less true. we never, everjust did what the united states told us to do. on many occasions we had disagreements, but because personal

the husband of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe — the british—iranian woman who was jailed in iran in 2016 —noon. i'm maryam moshiri — in the business news: inflation held steady at 2% last month, according to the latest official figures. it means that prices are rising less quickly than average wages, which rose 3.6% in may — that's the highest rate since 2008 and means we should feel a little better off. the pound has fallen below $1.24 to a more than two—year low with investors worried over the growing risk of a no—deal brexit. the fall means imported goods and services will cost more, and holidaymakers heading overseas this summer will find their holiday is more expensive. the move though does make uk—made products cheaper when exported. the french finance minister is urging a group of the world's biggest economies to work together on a plan to tax tech firms. the uk says it's planning to press ahead with a 2% tax on sales from april, but will ditch the plan if an international agreement can be reached. let's return now to our top story. the latest uk inflation figures from the ons, they

can i explain, they may not know what happened, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe was being held in iran, sheorisjohnson appeared before a committee and he said when he was foreign secretary she was training journalist, he was pulled before the iranian authorities and told that her jail before the iranian authorities and told that herjail sentence co—operative bank doubled. told that herjail sentence co-operative bank doubled. he corrected the record about how much british fizzy wine was consumed but not about that. i tell you what i am not about that. i tell you what i am not getting messages about how much people like boris. i am from the testimony cray fibbing people doesn't like. —— i am from the demographic people don't like. i voted for boris, but to me he is a man of many face, and that scares me to death. the face of london boris in 20002012 we thought he was great. he brought the city to the world stage, the face of boris in 2019 is dramatically different to what we knew back then, and what i am scared about is how many faces will he show news the next three to six months as preponde

then we had problems with nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe.ts of its nuclear developments if not bridging it. there was a chance, we have seen it before, but you can bring countries away from the cold. i find are very surprising that donald trump has a lot of effort with north korea, a much worse rogue state, and hasn't done the same with iran. why, i don't know. trying to read donald trump's mind is difficult that the best of times. it is an interesting contrast. the daily telegraph, nicely put, jason, the daily telegraph looking at a particular face that may return to the government cabinet next week. david davis. talked about returned to the cove na nt davis. talked about returned to the covenant with boris johnson. davis. talked about returned to the covenant with borisjohnson. it davis. talked about returned to the covenant with boris johnson. it will be interesting to see what faces are walking down downing street next week to get a job or get the sack, actually, because some of them have been warned. indeed. as we saw this week for quot

case of the british women who has been imprisoned in iranifeel in iran i feel i am letting down nazanin zagharifelt he had let somebody down. as the campaign progresses, we are reaching more of a crucial point. the conservative party members are now receiving their ballot papers and are starting to cast their votes. as that is happening where hearing of more prominent backers for both candidates, the daily telegraph newspaper, of which borisjohnson makes a comment, that cannot in favour of him as the future panellist and the former prime minister, john major, he lent his support to jeremy hunt minister, john major, he lent his support tojeremy hunt when he spoke —— prime minister. support tojeremy hunt when he spoke -- prime minister. it is fairly evident from my that i cannot vote for someone who was part of the brexit campaign that misled the country, so i shall offer my work to jeremy hunt and i do not think that anyone would be in any doubt about that. —— offer my vote tojeremy hunt. i would that. —— offer my vote tojeremy hunt. iwould hope that. —— offer my vote tojeremy hunt. i would hope

corbyn: will he ask the new foreign secretary to prioritise the release of nazanin zaghari-ratcliffe,d is he working with european partners to restore the iran nuclear deal and de-escalate tensions in the gulf? mr. speaker, the challenge to end austerity, tackle inequality, resolve brexit and tackle the climate emergency are what will define the new prime minister. instead, we have a hard-right cabinet staking everything on tax cuts for the few and a reckless race-to-the-bottom brexit. he says he has "pluck and nerve and ambition"; our country does not need arm-waving bluster; we need competence, seriousness and, after a decade of divisive policies for the few, to focus for once on the interests of the many. [shouting in agreement] johnson: mr. speaker, i struggle to discover a serious question in that, but i will make one important point that it is worth making, which is that under no circumstances will we agree to any free trade deal that puts the nhs on the table. it is not for sale. and i would remind right honorable gentleman that for 44 years of it 71 years of glorious existence

british citizen nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, currently incarcerated in iran, she has found this out toas foreign secretary did you say she was teaching journalism in iran? i've already made clear that that was a mistake. why did you say it? i already made clear that that was a mistake. we know it was a mistake — why did you say it? i've repeated many times that she was on holiday. if i may say, the responsibility for incarcerating nazanin and others... is iran's. nobody‘s arguing about that. it's the one that you go off on all the time to try to avoid answering the question. why did you say... i'm doing my best to answer your question. you seem rather choleric, if i may say so, andrew. i mean, journalism — it's a big difference from being on holiday and teaching journalism. why did you say that? actually, it's not quite what i said. did you read your brief properly? was this sloppy? if you look at what i said, i said that at the limit what she was doing was teaching journalism. what i meant to say was, you know, that was the most they could possibly accuse her of. as it happened, even

time of the iran crisis, tea, when he was foreign secretary, johnson handled terribly and got nazanin zagharive term. it is a trail of strength the prime minister has to win. it is his first day in number 10 to david dobbie has to set is governor. he won with two—thirds of the vote, more than half of mps, two—thirds, if he doesn't accept a demotion because the backbenchers, jeremy hunt. taking up the point, borisjohnson has jeremy hunt. taking up the point, boris johnson has become conservative leader, prime minister this afternoon, just over 90,000 people voted for him. what about a general election? when might that happen? more people live in plymouth or swindon or doncaster or we can then voted for this prime minister. more than voted for gordon brown. the problem is he won't get his brexit by the end of october. what does he do? does he go for a general election? the people's though? does he just carry on? his options, he has three options, it is difficult to see what he will go for. the more he denies going for a general election the more he will. theresa may said she would and then she
