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 from said let's say. from britain britain said it was unwelcome step and then franc

the european union, a club of 28 companies and yes the uk is still one of them. so let us head to brussels we are at the heart of the you are three institutions. firstly the european commission. it is the executive of the eu it streams up plans for the european laws and implements others, the european council and the european parliament. the council of the eu as we are government ministers meet up to discuss amend and adopt laws and coordinate policies. and then there is the european parliament it meets yourin is the european parliament it meets your in strasbourg and france. and the one that that is directly elected by us. so, how big is it? well, there are 751 meps elected from all corners of the eu, with 73 of them coming from the uk. but here is the rub with these elections — they only happen if you are a member of the eu. and by now, the uk wasn‘t meant to be, but it is, and so they are on. meps will be elected to represent 12 chunks of the uk. here‘s how it looked in two bits of the uk in 2014. firstly, in scotland, and then also in the south—east o

now they are here they are 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 perf

the european union, much more focused on domestic policy on what's going on in national politics. that may well be very different this time, it's certainly the case that people are focusing on the issue of the eu, and, of course, and brexit. you just wonder whether this becomes more about trust in politicians, and delivery of policies, and voters feeling ignored in parts of the country. it's more thanjust feeling ignored in parts of the country. it's more than just brexit. this is a much broader theme and certainly there are many politicians who are pretty fearful about all of that, because they know, even though they had been involved in westminster that it hasn't reflected well on them. that's vicky and just down the road in middlesbrough. i'm joined now by a representative from the middlesbrough modern art, and was part of the city of culture in 25 plan. whenever you have a big project like that it brings people together, you look at what you've got, the amazing things you've got and get new things. you get a plan together and change things for the better. there is a consultati

if it was just about me and how i‘d voted, we would already have left the european union. this is about a responsibility across the whole of the house of commons for us to come together and find a way of delivering on the instruction people gave us. people want us to leave the eu, we need to deliver that, this deal enables the house of commons to do that, to come together to support the withdrawal agreement bill and ensure that we leave the european union. thank you. applause simon mccoy: sow, theresa may setting out plans before she brings her bill back before parliament. jonathan blake joins me her bill back before parliament. jonathan blakejoins me now from westminster. mps will get a vote on a second referendum on whether there should be one, and a vote on a temporary customs union, and already on twitter, a lot of mps are saying this is outrageous. she had hoped this is outrageous. she had hoped this was going to be a game changer, but is it? as you hinted at, simon, those two key concessions that the prime minister has made a she gave details of in her speech there o

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 we need someone louder than words,

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 w

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

some people 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
