goes beyond any particular set of personnel or ministers in that frame nazanin zaghari ratcliffe mustminister, whoever that might turn out to be? i think the honourable gentleman for that. nazanin zaghari ratcliffe has been transferred to a public hospital, she certainly does need medical treatment and we have been calling for that for a very long time however if she does not get the treatment she requires, if she is abused in hospital or the purpose of transferring her to hospital is to abuse her further than has been the case already, that would be a cause for utter condemnation. as would any forced confession. i think we flagged this up pretty well today if i may say so mr speaker and in the event that a confession is obtained from nazanin zaghari ratcliffe, the international community is perfectly entitled to question it, to put it very mildly indeed. he asked me to establish top priorities of the incoming prime minister and i think he can be absolutely sure that one way or the other that nazanin zaghari ratcliffe will be at the forefront of the minds of whoever is successful in t

i wasjust asking about nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, because her health is suffering and it is of greate person in prison and i will do my best to address that. to the maximum of my capacity. i am responsible for the conduct of foreign affairs of the country and she is an iranian citizen. finally and briefly, what would it take to find a way out of this impasse? some kind of face—saving dealfor you find a way out of this impasse? some kind of face—saving deal for you and iran and the americans to give some impetus to the deadlock we have now? we don't have to have a deadlock, we don't want to embarrass anybody, we believe all we want is what we negotiated and implemented, and then we can go even further. i believe our region has enough real problems, we don't want imaginary problems of. could you renegotiate the deal from scratch with the americans?“ could you renegotiate the deal from scratch with the americans? if you, let me tell you. if you have a wave of new sanctions. i know it is impossible to get a better deal. i know that anybody who was involved, anybody who was in the room wi

right what he did so wrong and take personal responsibility for ensuring the release of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffesaid it was time for her to be released. the issue of his opposition to a new runway at heathrow was raised by the green mp. few will forget his pledge to lie down in front of the bulldozers to stop the construction of a third runway at heathrow airport. luckily for him and for us all, he is now at the steering wheel and can turn those bulldozers around. will he do it? will he scrap the third runway? i thank the right honourable lady. of course, the bulldozers are some way off but i am following with lively interest the court cases because i share her concerns about air quality and about pollution. but conservatives of a brexit persuasion were keen to show their support. despite it being the hottest night of the year last night, it is the first time in months that i have slept soundly. prime minister, will you ensure that i and millions of others can sleep soundly in our beds? mr speaker, i hesitate to do anything to disrupt the nocturnal arrangements of my honourable friend in any way

would assume he did the same in hisjob as foreign secretary, yet he mishandled the case of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe 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 is to get a

course, he had dealings with the iranian government but he was criticised for his role in the nazanin zaghari—ratcliffeia 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 because of evid

multifaceted deal which involved the release of the iranian tanker in gibraltar and also release of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffein 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 relationship

mps discussed the plight of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, the british—iranian woman jailed in iran threerike in protest at the continued detention of his wife. he camped outside the iranian embassy in london and was visited by more than 100 mp5, including john bercow. he spoke directly to mr ratcliffe, who was in the commons public gallery. this matter, the iranians need to know, will not go away until mother and daughter, mother... and wife... and husband are reconciled, so that they can live as one. john bercow. what's been happening in the wider world of politics this week? ryan brown has our countdown. at five, a new parliamentary baby meets the speaker as the labour mp tulip siddiq brings her son in to the chamber. at four, a library founded by liberal prime minister william gladstone could get more accommodation under new plans. the uk's only residential research library currently has 26 bedrooms. at three, brexit finally gets the better of a green peer baroness as she gets a little short with lord true. i am sure this is unparliamentary, i can't see the point of what you are sayin

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
