said that there will be further acts on behalf of iran if the european union does not change its policy iranians have shown strategic patience for the last year at least actually far more than that in my opinion when the americans exited the dream and the europeans promised that they would abide by their commitments and iran has for a year now been waiting for the europeans to doing to do something and they've done nothing that they've said all the nice things that need to be said in a word to not enough and to so far the europeans have not linked to run to the global financial sector which is what they have promised and they have not purchased any iranian oil which is also part of their commitment to them there are other things that they should be doing and they haven't so the iranians are giving the europeans sixty days to decide whether they're going to abide by the commandments of trump or are they going to protect their citizens their businesses their banks and abide by their commitments well ahem it's a we talk about this sixty day deal but the reaction almost immediately f

political declaration on the uk's future relationship with the european union. our chief political correspondent vicki young is in westminsterfor us. hi, vicky. the big question here at westminster everyone is wondering is if there's any chance of a compromise deal between the government and labour over brexit, and if they are to reach some kind of compromise, is it one that could make it through the house of the government endlessly talking about getting a stable majority to get the lows through to delivery brexit, but labour particularly sounding quite gloomy, saying the government has not shifted on its position and they are particularly concerned that a future conservative leader might just rip up any agreement they have. and as you say, those conservative mps former cabinet ministers, many of them, very worried about a compromise deal. let's speak to one now, maria millerjoins me. explain to me why you have signed this letter and what your concerns are. isimply letter and what your concerns are. i simply don't see a customs union isa i simply don't see a customs union is a com

for britain as we leave the european union, delivered bya leave the european union, delivered by a smooth, orderly brexit, as we seek a new partnership. i am committed to those objectives, i believe we have negotiated a good deal that delivers on those and i am determined to deliver it. it was last night that theresa may gave the signalfor a vote last night that theresa may gave the signal for a vote in last night that theresa may gave the signalfor a vote in earlyjune, leaving parliament after an hour—long meeting withjeremy corbyn. she is keeping those cross— party corbyn. she is keeping those cross—party lines of communication open, but labour is not for beijing, saying it will not agree to a deal u nless saying it will not agree to a deal unless the government gives more ground. unless we can convince our side that there is a deal worth supporting, this could be the fourth occasion when her deal goes down. the government has made its move. there is now an effective deadline for those talks and a date for a political showdown in parliament, but there is little time that th

to secure britain's departure from the european union. that she is focused on securing the second reading of a withdrawal agreement spell and that that will ta ke agreement spell and that that will take place in the week commencing the 3rd ofjune. and that following that second reading she and i will meet to agree a timetable for the election of a new leader of the conservative party. that is the position agreed by the prime minister and the 1922 executive. just to be clear, if they withdrawal agreement spell does not pass d expect the payments are to tender her immediate resignation? we have agreed to meet to decide a timetable for the election of the new leader of the conservative party as soon as the second reading has occurred. that will take place regardless of what the vote is on the second reading, whether it passes or whether it fails to pass. some say the implication is if it feels... that goes beyond what we have agreed and what i'm able to say today. we have an agreed position and agreed statement and i think it does give much greater clarity about the timetable which w

under strict orders from the european broadcasting union. you have been told no politics on stage? yes, which is impossible. had he been told to stop talking about politics stage? such a match yes, but at the line is blurry. we have been warned. we have been told we reached the limit of their tolerance regarding politics, but at the same time we are told they cannot change our views. we have to show the people what you are wearing. despite a campaign from pro—palestinian supporters it is business as normal. 0ne pro—palestinian supporters it is business as normal. one reason for thatis business as normal. one reason for that is that eurovision has its own politics. the politics of diversity, inclusiveness and this is shown by last yea r‘s inclusiveness and this is shown by last year's minor. sometime actor eurovision was find it in order to heal everyone. you can see in eurovision on one stage people from all ethnicities, gender, sexual preferences... religion equal. finally, madonna. has she signed the paperwork? well she actually perform? i spoke to an insider.” have heard mad

, and three years on the fact that we haven't yet left the european union. many of those i spoke to feel pretty frustrated about all of that. they think politicians in westminster have spent the best part of that time arguing amongst themselves, rather than listening to what voters demand. trying to find out whether they play any particular party is not always easy. —— blame any particular party. both of the major parties are concerned about the european elections on thursday, because they fear it will be a plague on both your houses, and actually, what will happen, is that the brexit party could be the big winner by taking votes from, particularly the conservatives, but in places like this, labour voters as well. and the greens and liberal democrats may be the beneficiaries. i spoke to a few people earlier to gauge their reaction to what's been going on. we wa nted going on. we wanted to be out, we should be out, that's it. and who do you blame? well, the government. the government. we voted for it, that's it as far as i'm concerned. if there was another referendum what would you do

for and respect the referendum and leave the european union. theresa may has hefty barriers to come if she is to get her brexit deal over the line. she has to get the agreement of her cabinet in downing street and then mps will have their say during the first week in june. mps will have their say during the first week injune. if they mps will have their say during the first week in june. if they refused to back it, the possibility of no deal increases and some members of her top team are far more relaxed about the prospect than others. her top team are far more relaxed about the prospect than othersm the event we get to the end of 0ctober the event we get to the end of october and it is not possible to get a deal, i think leaving the european union is the most important thing, delivering on the will of the people. but the chancellor will deliver a speech to business leaders tonight warning of the dangers of no deal and he wants to resume a's potential successors in downing street to take heed. he will declare there is no mandate for a no deal exit. he will argue to advocate for no d

, but also the 2016 referendum vote. as someone who voted to leave the european union, entertaining the possibility of a second referendum is wholly undemocratic and unacceptable. as you say, theresa may staying she will stand down, what do you want them to do, given that by the time it happens, we will be very close to the date which has been given in 0ctoberfor the date which has been given in october for the the date which has been given in 0ctoberfor the uk the date which has been given in october for the uk to leave. the date which has been given in october for the uk to leavelj the date which has been given in october for the uk to leave. i think it will be imperative upon the prime minister to set out... so that we can elect a new leader, both conservative mps and our thousands of members throughout the country. and that has to be a brexiteer? my preference is definitely for a brexiteer, we have learned over the la st brexiteer, we have learned over the last three years that sound bites and slogans like brexit means brexit are meaningless, and actions speak louder than words, and

congress is run, the original parties. we are like the european union. i think it is very difficult to visualise congress disintegrating but it is not impossible, it is something that is possible, it is low i think but it is still a possibility. now — time to take a look at the weather. this is southern poland were flooding has... they have weather warnings in place for this rain, they have had something like 180 millimetres and in some locations causing complete a new edition, farmland going on the water, it's a very serious situation. the authorities there and watching the flooding risks at the moment, flood warnings are out in force across poland and it is likely to continue that way for the next few days as this flat water flights away. it is down toa flat water flights away. it is down to a slow moving weather system, you see northerly winds moving into southern poland. in southern poland, the mountain ranges causes the moist airto get the mountain ranges causes the moist air to get pushed in by the northerly winds, so that 118 millimetres, that was in one of the low down cities

right, at a time when the meeting is about selecting the new leadership of the european union. those discussions begin today amongst the leaders around the table, as they have dinner this evening, and theresa may will of course have an equal input as any other country but these new leaders they are selecting should be taking up their positions later in the year after the uk is scheduled to have left at the end of october. the uk will have a voice, a limited one, but the others will start to chart this new course. in terms of the fallout from the european parliament elections, how do you sum up the fallout where you are in brussels? interestingly in the last few minutes as i was waiting to talk to you, i was listening to emmanuel macron who has walked into the summit, and he said this is a new phase for the european union because he said crucially there is now no majority in the parliament for the big centre parties, so something new has to be constructed. and he said the message is very clear from the election, that what people cared about in those elections was climate change, the s

he made during the brexit referendum that the uk sent £350 million to the european union, every week. a judge at westminster magistrates court has ruled that mrjohnson should appear before a crown court. our political corresepondent, jonathan blake has more details. the claim at the heart of this case, made by borisjohnson and others in the eu referendum campaign, that the uk sends £350 million a week to the european union. now, in the first case of its kind, the former foreign secretary is, for his use of that claim, accused of misconduct in a public office, a criminal offence. marcus ball, a businessman here on the right, is behind the legal challenge, a private prosecution financed by an online crowdfunding campaign. in previous hearings, his lawyers have claimed boris johnson repeatedly lied and misled the british public about the cost of membership of the eu. good morning, good morning, good morning. mrjohnson‘s legal team say he denies acting improperly or dishonestly at any time, and have suggested the case is a stunt aimed at undermining the referendum result. today,

for a possible ‘no—deal‘ exit from the european union on march 29th. the proportion of low—paid workers in britain — those on less than £8.52 per hour — has fallen to its lowest level since 1980, according to a new report. resolution foundation — a think tank focusing on people on the lowest incomes — found that the number of low—paid workers dropped by 200,000 last year and suggested it could be eliminated all together by 2020. the uk has a long—standing low pay problem, but which is being eroded thanks to the higher minimum wage that was introduced in 2016. at the moment there is a political consensus it seems in favour of pushing the rate higher, it is good news because it would further reduce the number of people on low pay. but going into uncharted territory we need to be careful about how we make that change. you're watching afternoon live, these are our headlines. the government is told to cut university tuition fees in england, as part of a package of reforms to the funding of higher education. at least seven people have died and twenty one are missing , aft

party leadership candidates — calling on them to promise that the uk will only leave the european union with a deal. in the letter, its director—general carolyn fairbairn warns that a no—deal brexit would cause british companies "severe damage". the cost of no deal is so great, so severe, across companies of all sizes, that this is something that should be absolutely a last resort, a plan z, not to plan b. however pro—brexit economist gerard lyons said the risks should not be blown out of proportion. no deal is a plan b, a stepping stone to a future free trade agreement with a whole host of different deals in the near term. it is not an end state in itself but we should have been doing a lot more preparation for a no deal. for the first time in over a decade, there are two english teams in the men's champions league final. tottenham and liverpool play each tomorrow in madrid — after both sides won theirsemifinals, coming from behind in dramatic style. fans have flocked over to the spanish capital — not all of them with tickets for the match. our europe correspondent anna holligan i

some voters may be questioning the european union, most still believe in it. anchor: some of the most dramatic results came in the u.k., where the traditional big parties suffered massive losses. theresa may's conservatives could only manage fifth-place, the worst result in 200 years. the opposition labor party did not do much better. it is all down to brexit and containshat the report flash photography. reporter: this is the jubilation that comes with taking on britain's governing party and humiliating them. by peoplege energized betrayed that brexit has not happened. the brexit party won over 30% of the vote. the conservatives got just 9%, the worst result in 200 years. left the brexit process, we never would have gotten a brexit like what we voted for in the referendum. this clearly will put pressure on them, pressure on the resolution. reporter: he has not wrong. theresa may is on the way out and rivals vying to replace or will be drawing lessons from what has just happened. when david cameron calls the twicerexit -- called the 16 brexit referendum, he was trying to heal decades-o

really want to leave the european union with no plan and no deal. they are determined and they are organized, and their opponents are in disarray. with the conservatives and labor at war with themselves and each other, it has fallen to five of the party to fight off the exit. here is a new one called change u.k., pulling in the single digits. in the single digits. and here's another party, nowhere near as high as the brexit party, so why don't they stand together? but which one should we vote for? happier ifhave been the remain parties worked together. but is just the way it is. we are dealing with the reality, and it is clear from the polls people are getting political democrats. withter: and the greens their highest ever polling. they accepted their have been fighting in the remain parties. not a good look when the aim is to defend the u.k. with the disaster of brexit. >> when you add up the votes for the brexit party and the remain party, they both come out to about a third. the people in the middle can make the difference very what we need to do is have a people's vote and see

brexit, the deadline for britain to leave the european union. we are outside parliament where we have been following the days events. she joins us now. there is another deadline coming butn a few months time whoever replaces theresa may will be faced with all of the same problems. reporter: indeed. that theyo question will face the same challenges where they will have to try to square the brexit circle. invariably, those challenges are still the numbers in parliament. they do not have any majority of any kind to be able to pass a no deal scenario. willorderly brexit if you nor is there any majority for a second brexit referendum, a so-called people's votes. parliament is entrenched this far. besides on either side of the argument are sticking to their guns and it is very difficult to see how the next leader is going to be able to traverse this and try to find some sort of consensus given that if it does turn out that there will be a leaderrd brexiteer in the coming months, it will cause a lot of problems. my colleague, paul berman has all of the events leading up to today's resignatio

european union which is what the referendum said people wanted to do has been voted down several times by parliament. you would think since she is resigning in a parliamentary system this would be the great moment for new elections, for general elections, let's have to new government, but no, there may not be new general elections until 2022, which means that the entire country is being held hostage by the torrey party where some 100 to 150,000 people will elect some new leadership over the next few months. impose that leadership on the rest of the country and basically britain will have to suck it up for months more of chaos. there might be a leftward movement if the labour party under jeremy corbin had taken a clear stand to reject brexit and to remain in the european union, but corbin for his own lefty internationalist reasons doesn't like the european union and he defies the majority of his own party by sort of sitting on the fence, on the question of brexit. so we have this completely confused and discredited political system in britain and we're throwing -- i'm not, but people are t

there and get that deal done with japan, the european union. if china doesn't want to deal with us, so be it. the president's going to have to help out the farmers. let's move on. i just want to encourage everybody to stop buying anything from china. if their not willing to negotiate in fairness, then it's time to move on from them. it's just a sad day. leland: i can hear the pain in your voice especially as you talk about some of these stories that you're hearing e. brings up, though, an important question which is how long until people fuelly is to vote with their pocketbooks and no, as you said, with their patriotism? >> yeah. i think that we have to hang on. we have hope in this president. we think that he can get us a better deal. we've all lived through the problems with china. just two quick examples, leland. we've not been able to the sell beef in china for 15 years we need unlimited access to their markets just like ours -- leland: real quick. >> otherwise my kids will be working for china. leland: that is a warning, if i've ever heard one. real quick, you heard from david tha
