Northern ireland is the latest stop for britains Prime Minister on his nationwide tour they discussed the brags that process the socalled backstops avoiding a hard border with the republic of ireland is a major issue for Boris Johnson so is preserving the good friday peace accord. I expect rex it may come up a little bit i dont rule that out and i think the crucial thing to stress is that i obviously attach huge importance to the letter the spirit of the of the belfast good friday agreement and it will be interesting on that monitor from that in barber in belfast who Boris Johnson stated aim in coming here to Northern Ireland was to get the various Political Parties into agreeing a deal on restoring devolved government here at stormont those issues that have separated the parties are still very its not clear exactly how he can get any kind of a deal on the table there things like Irish Language rights access to abortion and equal marriage some of the parties here at stormont accuse the democratic unionist parties relationship with the u. K. Government and of course the d. P. P. Prop up the u. K. Government in the Westminster Parliament there saying that has poisoned the waters for the talks here inevitably breaks it dominated a lot of the talks. Do you agree with Boris Johnson that the Northern Irish so called. To go for any deal to happen but theyre saying that they dont think there will be a no do you sit many of the other parties are very worried about that prospect shouldnt the main nationalist party say that beyond the Economic Impact could even reopen the question of the public voting on a united oil and we have told them that any notion that he might crash this part of ireland out of the European Union and cause the level of chap pretty and damage that past which entails and that people will simply take us on the chair not that he would expect that people would make a go along with us is deeply deeply misguided and that that would be a very dangerous course of action will there is a deadline for the parties here to Reach Agreement by october the 21st in theory if that doesnt happen there could be direct rule for longer but its another development which some people say would severely damage the good friday agreement the Peace Process here in northern oil and so its just another reason why this process is so complicated iran is warning it will further scale back its commitments to the nuclear deal unless europe does more to protect the agreement foreign minister John Howard Zarif wants a remaining signatories to shield iran from u. S. Sanctions and allow it to sell oil iran is already drawing back some commitments by breaking limits and rich uranium agreed in the 2015 accord has more now from tehran. The foreign minister following the weekly Cabinet Meeting that was held in the capital this morning said that the e. U. Signatories of the Nuclear Agreement are their actions are not proportionate to their expectations meaning that what theyve been expecting from iran to do under this Nuclear Agreement iran has done but the european signatories have not upheld their on the deal and the iran officials believe that that is because the United States withdrew from this agreement last year and imposed a series of sanctions on iran the banking and oil sector which has also affected the European Countries that were supposed to invest in irans economy that was one of the main points of this agreement that iran will freeze its Nuclear Activities to a certain extent and return it will get relief from a series of sanctions and investments will return to the country but none of that has happened and iran has decided. Since may the year a new president announced that every 60 days iran will continue to scale back its commitment and the foreign minister today stress that that is indeed the plan they are going ahead with and the next phase which will be the 3rd phase of their scaling back their commitment will happen in Early September the steps that theyve taken so far are reversible immediately this is what the reigning president stressed and that is the feeling here that once the europeans really decide to stand up against the United States and their sanctions then the iranians are more than happy to go back to the terms of the 250. 00 nuclear deal israels security cabinet has approved permits for the construction of 700 palestinian homes in the occupied west Bank Announcement comes ahead of a planned visit to israel this week by senior 1000 buys a jar hes expected to push both sides to join talks of tom david in the lead up to israeli elections in september how the force and the latest from western.
