End of next year. So people making more emissions by flying into london in their private jets. As a result of the paris Climate Change deal five years ago there has been a reduction in emissions and an increase in commitments so ive been championing the uk holding that. We had a breakthrough last night when italy agreed to come in behind us and support a uk president. Its something all departments can do. Youre responsible for the decision to put the tv licenses onto the bbc. What is your view about what should be done now . There has been a lot of anger throughout the country with what the bbc have done and you effectively made it the decision. What the bbc have done and you effectively made it the decisionlj gave effectively made it the decision. gave the bbc a licence fee settle m e nt gave the bbc a licence fee settlement and that is a deal i negotiated in less than 2a hours and iam not negotiated in less than 2a hours and i am not promising to do that with brexit. It may take a little bit longer than that and i gave them enough money and that settlement to fund free tv licenses for the over 75 and subsequent settlements, they have decided that they dont have enough money to do that and my concern about that is that we promised in our manifesto to protect pensioner benefits and if over 75 lose that benefit, they will feel though it is a breach of our commitments. The bbc signed up to that deal and that was a deal with government and i think what we have to do is be honest and truthful about our commitments. You have spoken quite often about your time as Health Secretary but the truth is that you alienated the fast majority of nhs staff during that time. You remembered the nurse who is a conservative that said she can never vote for you to be Prime Minister and a lot of other people in the nhs i feel like that, what do you say to them . As Prime Minister you have to ta ke very them . As Prime Minister you have to take very difficult decisions and as Health Secretary, you have to take life and death decisions and you saw in that videojust life and death decisions and you saw in that video just now, some of the patients who suffered terribly, i am so patients who suffered terribly, i am so proud of the nhs, they do a fantasticjob. So proud of the nhs, they do a fantastic job. They really so proud of the nhs, they do a fantasticjob. They really do. But sometimes, they get it wrong and in order to put things right, i had to fight some very tough battles and i hope people can see from that that i am the kind of Prime Minister that is not going to make his biggest priority to court popularity and i hope the nhs got safer on my watch andi hope the nhs got safer on my watch and i am very proud of that. Are you uncomfortable about using this people in your Campaign Video . Those people in your Campaign Video . Those people did an absolutely remarkable thing. They lost mothers, children, sisters, brothers because of terrible things that went wrong in the health service. But if you would do when they have a terrible briefing like that is they want to draw a line under it, close the chapter, move on with the rest of their lives but they decided that theyre going to relive this terrible tragedy, that terrible sadness every single day because they want the nhs to improve. They are campaigners and for me, they are also Kindred Spirits because they stood beside me and some of those very difficult battles and we have a long way to go in the nhs. But i think about some of the changes happening and look at the changes happening and look at the changes happening in the hospital now, cou nty happening in the hospital now, county hospital in the great hospitals in the middle of birmingham, the transformation of Morecambe Bay which where he lost a sun, terrible problems in the Maternity Unit and other of the safest Maternity Unit in the north and that is what were talking about in the video, we are proud of the changes we made. Apart from the time, what is the biggest personal crisis you face and what lessons did you learn from it . Probably, for me, it was going through the inquiry into thousand i2 and i had a two year old child and a child that was just three months old 2012, and that the world press outside my front door and i had been accused of something i had not done and i had helicopters pursuing me when he went from one part of london to another andi from one part of london to another and i found my from one part of london to another and ifound my inner steel when from one part of london to another and i found my inner steel when that happened. And i really learn to fight for what i believe and that formed me. If it doesnt break you it makes you. I nearly lost myjob, but you know, without going on, i thought, thank god i did not do this thing that i was accused of. Because how miserable what i have been to have actually done it. But i fought through it. Ikeep i keep tapping at my phone not to see what it twitter saying but to check my stopwatch. Are you looking to achieve a hard or soft brexit . Getting no deal to parliament . Why would they listen to you . Hello. Iam aiming why would they listen to you . Hello. I am aiming heart and soul to get the deal, because yesterday i was at an Amazing Company that manufactures steel wheels for off road vehicles and theyve got have a European Market sewn up in their margins about the edge of 50 people, their margins are about 4 and 10 tariff on their projects would wipe them out. There would be an act to make Economic Impact of no deal. As also i would to deliver brexit that i would be afraid we would have to do that because thats what people voted for and we are have to do that because thats what people voted for weary democracy first and foremost, but i would be aiming for a deal and i believe i am the candidate most likely to get a deal if department blocked and no deal brexit, i am a negotiator, businessman and i want to be able to walk away from a deal andi to be able to walk away from a deal and i want no deal to be left on the table, but i Hope Parliament would see that i am a Prime Minister sincerely committed to getting a deal and therefore they will understand if i came back and said, that has not been possible. However persuade the europeans to change their mind . It is going to be tough and im not going to sit here and say that this is going to be easy. But talking to european leaders, i have not met a single one who doesnt want to find a way through this and they say, if you come back with different ideas in a different approach, you can demonstrate this, they will listen. And i think that if we get this right, we can get the deal we need. I would if we get this right, we can get the dealwe need. I would they listen if we get this right, we can get the deal we need. I would they listen to you rather than Boris Johnson . Deal we need. I would they listen to you rather than Boris Johnson . For members of the conservative party to make thatjudgement members of the conservative party to make that judgement and members of the conservative party to make thatjudgement and not for me. You clearly think you are in a better place to do that and i would like to know why. I have spent a long time talking about my background both inside and outside government and i think i have demonstrated that when it comes to negotiations, i can do difficult ones. I dont blink, i am prepared to walk away, but to answer the question for businesses in the West Midlands, will be a thousand times better to get a deal and thats why i think better to get a deal and thats why ithinka better to get a deal and thats why i think a responsible Prime Minister should aim for that. Some brexiteers will say, as you would jeremy hunt is saying and i would leave with no deal if it becomes painfully clear that it deal if it becomes painfully clear thatitis deal if it becomes painfully clear that it is impossible to achieve a deal, but they think of the last minute, given what you said about the dangers of the no deal on the economy, quoting in the debate, could she do, as a responsible Prime Minister, on the 315t of october, really sick to the british people say yes, i am going to take you out with no deal and believe me it is going to be an absolute disaster for you. That is i wouldve Prime Minister does, is it . If you got to the 31st of october and the eu have not shown any willingness to negotiate a better deal to get to the house of commons that is not going to traverse the Customs Union, myjudgement is weighing those difficult options and the risk of no brexit deal is far worse in the Economic Risks of no deal and ill ta ke Economic Risks of no deal and ill take a side of the European Union in that situation. I if we can avoid it, if we can get a deal thing that is something that a responsible Prime Minister would do. Tom. What changes would you seek to the Withdrawal Agreement . Thank you, tom. I think the main question, the main thing that stopped the house of commons locking the deal that we had at the moment is the backstop and it is not the principle that we should have a soft border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland, i think there is a strong consensus in the house of commons that he needs to remain a soft border with no border infrastructure it is the fa ct no border infrastructure it is the fact that the agreement that we have at the moment commits us to remaining in the Customs Union effectively into the eu give us permission to leave and that is not a cce pta ble permission to leave and that is not acceptable for parliament and i do not think it is acceptable for the people who voted to leave the European Union and that is the main thing that needs to change. I think that if you did that we would be able to get a deal to the house of commons. But how will he will they be to reopen the Withdrawal Agreement . That made it abundantly clear, and i thought this was something they would split at the moment, but they have remained united. The team has been disbanded, how possibly get them to reopen the Withdrawal Agreement . how possibly get them to reopen the Withdrawal Agreement . I am sitting here saying that this is not going to be easy, but it is not impossible either. The reason i think there is a deal to be done is because it is in their interest as well as ours that we have an orderly brexit and the damage to a Processing Plant in holland, i get around to quite a few places as foreign secretary bud day, the bundle of flowers and ship them to stations of the end of the country every single day, these flowers coming from all over the world and their business will be absolutely decimated by tariffs, so there is a strong european interest to resolve this. We have to come up with alternatives that demonstrate that we are not going to end up with border infrastructure on the island of ireland and i think the answer would be to do with technology and if we approach this the right way, as they say, there is a deal i think youll be possible. Have you got the details of this in a document that oii details of this in a document that on day one didnt go to brussels, day one go to brussels or are you going to be so busy doing all of this for the past four weeks that its only really want you become Prime Minister that he can really set your head to it . I have not been directly responsible for the brexit negotiations in the last year but i have been a cabinet member and ive been observing them and what the right solutions are. I have a clear idea of what the solution is and i do not think it is a particularly difficult solution than what boris is suggesting with technology but the question is how we get there and go to the European Union to persuade them that we need a different way. See your basic pitch here was yes, ive got that plan but they find me easier to deal with and maybe my opponent . My pitch is that i am a negotiator, a businessman and they will engage with me and im also someone will engage with me and im also someone who has a bottom line, and is not to blink and nose, this is the crucial part of a negotiation, exactly what it is we need. What we need is something that allows us to leave the European Union, but does not trap us in the Customs Union or the Single Market and definitely. Some people would say, he is too nice, he is not going to be good in these negotiations because he will blink. How can you convince us that you would not blink . blink. How can you convince us that you would not blink . I think it is possible to be very polite and very tough. I think my track record shows some very difficult industrial disputes that he had in the department of health, some very complex negotiations that have of the treasury for £20 billion a year for the hs. There is a big negotiation. And i had a bottom line, i would negotiation. And i had a bottom line, iwould have negotiation. And i had a bottom line, i would have left the government if i been able to secure what i need the nhs in the nhs staff needed to give the pressures of an asian ageing population. I am going to get that deal. This will be the most popular question with the audience. Nicholas benny. Following the latest evidence of the bias of the bbc, but action will you take as Prime Minister to reform this publicly funded organisation . I started a disadvantage that they did not slash their budgets and do all sorts of things that some people wouldve liked. Let me tell you what i will not do and what i will do. But i wont do is interfere with the bbc poss plus editorial independence because when i go around the world, people say that the most impressive thing about this country is that we are one of the most robust democracies on the planet and they see that the state funded broadcast hold broadcasters to account. But what i will do is say to the bbc, two things. I will say to them first of all, i expect you to cover how tough it is to set up a business just as much is how tough it is to live. Because of were going to have a prosperous, successful society, you need to understand the Wealth Creation that is the fundamental underpinning of all the social missions that we all believe in. Second the post brexit, i want you to have a role too, the bbc is a very trusted brand, they could be a news broadcast all over the world, they can be giving information to those who dont live in democracies, they could be the english language broadcaster of choice. I would like them to reach for the stars and say how can they be the world news broadcasts because a think will be great for them and great for britain. Do you think they are biased to the left . I have experienced bias of times and ive experienced bias of times and ive experienced times or they are fair but they are themselves honest, people are honest and there is an innate liberal bias and that is why i think they need to redouble their effo rts i think they need to redouble their efforts to understand how tough it is for people trying to get businesses off the ground, trying to create wealth that pays for public services. Charlie. Is a 19yearold looking to get a job in the next two years at a university, how was your plan for brexit in the economy going to ensure a strong graduate jobs market for younger people . Thank you for asking that question. My number one political priority is to get more people your age to support us the conservative party because we, as the party of aspiration, we have created a thousand jobs every single day since we have been in office since 2000 ten to may 2010, we do not get the credit for it in too many of charlies friends do not understand that it is the conservatives that create the opportunities, it is labour that destroys us opportunities. Those opportunities. So how do we went over more young people . The of the argument about aspirations and much easier for people to buy a house will make the people need to know that we are on their side when it comes to values that we are going to do the right thing on Climate Change but we also need to realise that young people as a group, have become politicized by brexit and we used to say that young people may not vote conservative but they do not tend to vote. That has changed and we need to look at their very specific concerns and if you ask me one thing, when i am on the doorstep of my constituency, that i cannot justify it is why the Interest Rate on Student Loans is 6 . That is not fair. So what will you do about that . We will cut that Interest Rate andi that . We will cut that Interest Rate and i think it will be cut at to inflation or base rate and let me say this, a message that some people listening from home or to agree with. I think our tuition fee reform is the right thing, they have made our universities some of the best funded universities in the world. Half of student debt is not paid back that says to me that there is something wrong in the system and if you have these very high rates which will subsidize half of the debt that is in paid back, what happens is people is dead ratchets up and even wretches up even when they are in university when they cant do anything about it because they can pay back at that stage and that risks discrediting a very good system and that is why i think it is a wrong that we need to put right. Do you think a lot of youngsters have been let down over the past ten or 15 years by them being encouraged to go to university, when actually they wouldve been better off doing an apprenticeship or Something Else . We can be incredibly proud of Michael Goves education reforms which transformed state education, making them as good as the best private schools. Absolutely remarkable. But if you have a blind spot, it is not the 50 of school levers that go to university, many of whom gets in the best educations in the world. But it is the 50 who do not go to university. Nearly a quarter of Primary School levers do not reach the standard for reading and writing and that often doesnt get corrected at secondary school, they then end up without a rigorous qualification. If they get thrown out of thejob qualification. If they get thrown out of the job because of driverless ca is out of the job because of Driverless Cars in ten years time, they wont be able to retrain if they cannot read. As conservatives, we believe an opportunity for everyone and i wa nt to an opportunity for everyone and i want to be the conservative government that abolishes illiteracy and promises that of a single young person will leave education with a rigorous qualification that means they can get a decently paid job. Nobody is going to disagree with that but. How you actually going to get there . We can talk policy, i will not give you a very long list but i can see that schools cant be good or outstanding in their out of state rating if they are not teaching all their children to read to the required level. I think he needs to be an absolute floor of your inspection that you are making sure people can read properly. And also that we have the same sector that we have in the School Sector and say to the further education sector, there is more money on the table but as to note that what you are teaching people is so rigorous, so solid that when people leave they will be able to get a decently paid job and what is a decently paid job . The average which in this country is 27 grand and i think everyone leaving our Education System should have a qualification system that means they can at least aspire to that. Violent knife and gun crimes are simply epidemic on the streets of birmingham in terms of the West Midlands and indeed the country. What actions will you take as Prime Minister to eliminate this issue . think sajid javid has made some very important proposals in this proposal. We have the right Police Numbers and that period of austerity where that recession was made worse by labour, we had to make big cuts across and we may have brought Police Numbers down too much and there was a delay impact and we are now feeling it. The biggest way to stop knife crime is to make sure the perpetrators know they are going to get caught. That is the first thing. So to be more specific, he would have more Police Officers to bring us have more Police Officers to bring us to where we have more Police Officers to bring us to where we were have more Police Officers to bring us to where we were in 2010 invoice johnson said something similar, would you make a commitment on that . I would not make a commitment on the exact number, but there was Something Else i think it relates to the question that we talked about earlier, the causes of that knife crime, if those people left our Education System with a decent qualification as you have just been talking about, with hope that they can get on a ladder, they can get a decently paid job, they would a life different than the life of gangs on the street. It said that we need to tackle that as well. Due to the sharp rise and lgbt hate crimes in the uk, how will you as Prime Minister not only protect members of the Lgbt Community but also ensured that schools are not held to ransom over the teaching of same sex relationships . Held to ransom over the teaching of samesex relationships . Thank you for asking that question and we, i think, have shown the country that we are not the conservative party they like to think we are by the way weve championed lg bt they like to think we are by the way weve championed lgbt plus rights in the way that David Cameron bright and gay marriage and i am glad to be proud that it is a party and it shows a passionate conservative approach. We are not there though, one of the things is that the tensions we have to deal with, schools, parents are reluctant for children to be taught about peoples basic rights and for me, my reason for my views on this was when i was at school, my very last day, when my very best friends told me that he was gay. And he had kept it secret for the whole time that we had been friends, it was like he was burying a guilty secret and it was only that he felt he could tell me the date that we are going to leave and never see each other again. And for me, being gay is like being left handed, its just something that youre born with, not something that you choose and its not something that you can change and that is why we have to recognise every trial. Every child needs to understand that and is a great piece of progress that we have made and we have to leave no stone unturned in making sure that every school, including faith schools is ensuring that we get the right m essa 9 es a cross ensuring that we get the right messages across to our children. What about the issue that we know and birmingham where parents in a particular school, notjust and birmingham where parents in a particular school, not just only in birmingham, object to the Primary School children being taught about the fact that not everyone has a mother and father. What do you do as a government about that . This you just have to insist that the schools will teach what is right. This is a country where we do not accept prejudice against people who are gay. Traditionally, conservatives have always felt that parents known best. And if the parents known best. And if the parents object to that, should they not have the right to say that their children should not be taught those things . Of course as conservatives we always trust appearance. There is attention here. We also have to think about the rights of the children in those schools. Including some children who themselves may be 93v some children who themselves may be gay. And there need to understand that this is a society that is going to be completely blind to peoples sexuality. And that is a great social advance that we have made and we must defend it. Applause you have young children. Presumably therefore you are happy for them to be taught about same sex relationships in Primary School . Absolutely i remember taking my, going to take my sun home from a Birthday Party and i said, just take me to the mummy and daddy and i can thank them for the party. He said 0no, she has got two mummies. And he was completely relaxed about it, did not think it was remotely surprising or unusual. And that is a happy family and we as a conservatives are the party of the family and i am so proud that we have become a party that understands that families can have different shapes and sizes and can still be happy, solid, strong families. Applause i dont know if i will pronounce this rate, michael . Good afternoon. We are in birmingham and we have the hs two station just on the road. If you are the next minister, will you continue with hsz . And minister, will you continue with hs2 . And 5 not what would you prioritise instead of hs2 . Hs2 . And 5 not what would you prioritise instead of hsz . hs2 . And 5 not what would you prioritise instead of h52 . I will answer that very directly and i know some people will not agree with what i have to say. Some people, conservative Party Members wont agree with it either. But i will proceed with hs2, it is absolutely vital to our country. And there are two reasons why. First of all, the point of brexit, the world is looking at us seeing what sort of economy are you going to be . Will you be an economy that still cant do big Infrastructure Projects . Even though injapan do big Infrastructure Projects . Even though in japan they do big Infrastructure Projects . Even though injapan they had their first high speed rail in 1964, two years before i was born. We need proper transport infrastructure in this company if we will be the most high tech modern, Fastest Growing economy in europe. The reason is as conservatives, we cannot just economy in europe. The reason is as conservatives, we cannotjust be the Party Prosperity in london and the south east. We have to spread prosperity. Applause to the whole country. And that is why it is notjust hs2. It will h52. It will spread prosperity to every corner of our great country. Would you like to speed up the development of the second and third stages of h52 . You have squeezed a few spending commitments out of me this afternoon so i will leave it at that this afternoon but lets deliver hs2. This is a huge project and then when we have delivered that we will think of what to do next. Jeremy, thank you very much. Thank you. Applause thank you are you having any more are we done . That is the close to the tory hustings taking place in birmingham. The first of 16. We started off with borisjohnson but the first of 16. We started off with Boris Johnson but that was just the foreign secretary jeremy Boris Johnson but that was just the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt. He started off minor defining himself as an underdog. He said that this is because of the internet. Which has been kind to him for the first time in his life. He spoke of some of the hashtag nicknames that are being given to him but essentially, saying that we are in a very serious situation, similar opening to Boris Johnson. He went on to one that getting things wrong means there will be no conservative government. Maybe even no conservative party. Get things right and we can deliver brexit. Unite the party and send corbyn packing. And that is our choice. A very different look to his body line which, his sleeves were rolled up, spoke of a balti that et ijust had. Before presenting his pitch. He says that i am the person to send to muscles. Brussels. He also took questions, and the feeling on twitter is that there was a little bit more detail on his policies, some spending commitments even, to some of the questions that we re even, to some of the questions that were put to him including hs2, and brexit. More on this in the meantime i think it is time we catch up with the sports news. Two big cricket matches. Firstly lets deal with india. They take on afghanistan in southampton. Afghanistan are making scoring very difficult indeed. Although afghanistan have difficult indeed. Although afg ha nista n have lost difficult indeed. Although afghanistan have lost wickets, they are still well in range of causing the biggest shock of the world cup so far. Wickets may be the issue though, most of their top order are now back in the dressing room. New zealand are currently second in the world Cup Standings and they will be all but through to the knockout if they can beat the west indies the west indies have been set to hundred 92 to wind. No replies yet. The knockout stage is already under way at the womens world cup in football as germany take on nigeria. The two time winners took the lead through header after 22 minutes. The video assistant referee was involved once again, nigeria will feel very aggrieved. Penalty converted and made it to before the break. The second half has just got under way. You can see if nigeria can turn things around on bbc two. It is also available on the bcs in sport website as well. Tonight you can watch australia versus norway. The winner of that picture will face the winner of the england match. Phil neville has spoken about the strength of their defence, conceding just once so far. Also his thoughts on the upcoming knockout games. We wanted to top the group and when all three games and we wa nted group and when all three games and we wanted to play some good football andi we wanted to play some good football and i think we have done that. The bigger test is still to come. I still think there is another 15 or 20 from this team. In terms of performance levels. I would also say that we are in a really good place to attack the last 16. I think when you come out of the group stages in a major tournament that this is when you have got to start earning your money and start enjoying it even more. And start focusing that it is all about winning. You have to keep clea n all about winning. You have to keep clean sheets. The later we going to the tournament, the defensive part of ourgame the tournament, the defensive part of our game will have to keep improving. And we will have to keep Getting Better at it because we will be more tested against better teams and better oppositions. If we keep clea n and better oppositions. If we keep clean sheets, we will be successful in the treatment. Jane has been with the squad as they make preparations against cameroon. This is the england first Training Session since they arrived here yesterday. The squad is training now. All members of the squad are fully fit. The tournament has been going particularly well for phil neville, england topping the group and through to the last 16. But they havent got out of second gear yet. Phil neville is particularly disappointed in the way england played especially in the second half of the match against scotland. They will play cameroon now, and this will play cameroon now, and this will be a particularly physical match. The last time there was a match. The last time there was a match between cameroon and any members of the england team was during the 2012 olympics when team gb beat cameroon three nell. 3 0. This will be a huge match for cameron who came third in the group after a last minute winner against new zealand. It will be a big match but they are known as being rather physical so it will be a test for england. Also, it is predicted it will be 30 degrees tomorrow here so itll be a very hot match indeed. Mercedes dominance sets to continue. Lewis hamilton took pole position and it was a bad day for ferraris sebastian vettel. The friday practice was dominated by mercedes and qualifying looked destined to be similar. The problems persist for sebastian vettel, not even 24 hours after his review was rejected. Final qualifying issues destabilises progress. A technical issue forcing him to pitch. Ferrari team mate start third. When it mattered, as it so often does, Lewis Hamilton improved on his time. It will be the championship leader at the start of the grid. He is on pole for the third time this season. It is the 86th time he has started at the front and the 60th with mercedes. Lewis hamilton is very pleased indeed with that poll, have a listen. It is more enjoyable, especially once you get the first lap through. Im a tenth through and im done. And you know you will quicker the next time. It is strange. But if youre behind you have to catch it so your mind shifts. The world number 31 is in the final at queens tomorrow after a semifinal earlier. It was another gruelling 3 set for him, he has gone the distance in all four of his matches this week but he did eventually get the better of the russian after over two and a half hours on court. It will be a very busy day in west london. The second semifinal between that man, lopez and the canadian. They are currently on court, a set each. The youngster taking the first, before lopez levelled things up. You can watch that on the bbc sport website and app. After that, andy murray will be due on court, the second match since his match was suspended because of fading light. He won his first set in the doubles but the players had to leave just before 9pm with their opponents 5 4 ahead in the second set. There will be an all british affair in tomorrows wheelchair final at queens. The british number one beat daily as the british number three in straight sets. The formal australian champion Roger Federer has made his 13th final at the open in germany after he beat herbert 6363. If he in germany after he beat herbert 63 63. If he winds it, it will be the tenth time he has one here. He isa the tenth time he has one here. He is a great guy and i really like his game. He has one of the best backends in the game. Superfast game. He has one of the best backends in the game. Super fast on his feet and he is great putting on a court that is very difficult. He played a great match today to stop has run. And also against, that was mighty impressive so i will have a tough final. At this stage particularly against david who had a lot of respect for. The french open champion barty has made it to the final. She will play garages. Gorges. Anglings jordan smith final. She will play garages. Gorges. Anglingsjordan smith leads after the international in munich. He backed up yesterdays 67 with a round of 66 to move to 13 under par for the tournament. He has a one shot lead that chasing pack which includes his matt fitzpatrick. Hopefully i can take tears and everything into account for tomorrow and. Missed the first cut in denmark couple of weeks ago but apart from that game was looking good that week. It has been feeling good that week. It has been feeling good for a long while so i am looking forward to tomorrow. The leaders are due out in the next hour for the third round of the womens pga. But mel reid is not amongst them after losing yesterday. Showing up them after losing yesterday. Showing up on australias blue point has completed a rear double at royal ascot. Trained by charlie appleby, he added the stakes to choose these when. He is only the third horse to complete a double in the group one races. Andy rowles junior reveals how he has been enjoying his time as champion. He admits he has used his new found wet wealth to make amends with one pa rt wealth to make amends with one part chip person in particular. watch my mum a car because i mist up a lot of our cars when i was young. Bought her a car. A lot of our cars when i was young. Bought her a car. That all the support for now. But keep up with all the sport on the bbc sport website and app. Youre watching bbc news. Lets look now at some of the news this hour. We will start in america where President Trump says that the United States is planning further sanctions against iran. In order to stop iran from developing nuclear winds. Iran shut down an american surveillance drone which prompted esther trump to impose air strikes in retaliation. He says they we re strikes in retaliation. He says they were called off just strikes in retaliation. He says they were called offjust minutes before taking place because of the potential threat of civilian casualties. Speaking to reporters earlier mr trump said that military options remain on the table.
