The first to test positive in tokyo. Thank you forjoining us. Israels Prime Minister has called on the us and its allies to wake up to the threat of iran. The warning comes as diplomats report progress on reviving a Landmark Deal to limit the countrys nuclear programme that is a deal the us withdrew from under president donald trump. There are though, still gaps between the sides, as Mark Lobel reports. World powers have been negotiating with iran since april, to stop it from being able to build a nuclear bomb. In return, iran wants rid of sanctions harming its ailing economy. As both sides seek to revive a previously agreed deal, the Mood Music sounds good from iran, the eu and the us. We are closer to a deal than any time in the past, but it doesnt mean that we are there. The next round, delegations will come back from capitals with clearer instructions, clearer ideas on how to finally close the deal. The whole question of which sanctions will be lifted is currently being negotiated in vienna, complicating matters, irans supreme leader, ayatollah ali khamanei, whos the ultimate powerbroker here, has repeatedly called the elimination of americas ally, israel. Now israel says the recent election of Hardliner Ebrahim Raisi as irans next president has heightened fears. Raisis election is, i would say. The last chance for World Powers to wake up before returning to the nuclear agreement and understand who they are doing business with. These guys are murderers, mass murderers. Iran already blames israel for the murder of its top nuclear scientist last year, and an attack on one of its Uranium Enrichment plants in april. On sunday, iranian State Tv reported technical problems at this nuclear Power Plant in bushehr. Its been temporarily shut down, it says, for a technical overhaul. Fires have hampered operations in the past, but accidents have also turned out to be foreign attacks. However, such is the momentum of the current negotiating table, there is talk of an imminent nuclear deal soon. As early as next month. We Ta Ke we take you to the united states now. Ten people, including nine children, have been killed in the crash involving 18 vehicles in the us state of alabama. The County Coroner says the vehicles were likely to have hydroplaned on the wet roads and lost control after tropical Depression Claudette battered the state, with lush budding tornadoes and destroying of homes as well. Jeremy grey is reporter with the Alabama Media Group and has been covering this truly awful story. In south alabama, in baldwin county, 165, the interstate, there were multiple vehicles, 18, as you said, they collided. We had a tropical storm, claudette, a lot of rainfall. And in the course of that, an suv carrying a 29 year old man and his young daughter, they were killed and also collided with a Van Carrying residents of a Youth Home. The driver was pulled to safety by a bystander but unfortunately, the Son And Daughter of the driver perished, as did their two nephews and four residents of the home, the eight victims in the van ranging in age from four up till 17. You are talking about i understand there were girls who are in like a Foster Home for abandoned or neglected children. Correct. Some of them are placed there privately. Some are in the care of the state. Its almost too awful to contemplate. What were the conditions like . They must� ve been pretty dreadful. Yeah, there was a lot of rainfall across the state. We had a man in a child killed by a Falling Tree in Tuscaloosa County in the central part of the state, a man swept away by floodwaters, he is still missing. A woman trapped in her car in north alabama, she drowned as well so right now the entire Death Toll for the state � s 13, perhaps 1a and that includes the wreck in south alabama. I can only imagine across the state, to have that many children killed in one terrible accident must have a huge impact on people. What sort of response has there been . Well, the four young women who were residents of the Youth Home attended the same High School in the eastern part of alabama. There was a Community Gathering there today, People Sharing Memories and stories of these young girls and just a very emotional response from the community, it is a very small community, very tightknit. Lets get some of the days other news the belgian authorities have confirmed that a body found in woodland is that of a missing soldier who had threatened to kill the countrys top virologist. The Prosecutors Office said initial findings indicated that Jurgen Conings shot himself. He had been on an anti terrorist Watch List because of his extreme right wing beliefs. The acting Prime Minister of armenia, nikol pashinyan, has declared victory after a snap parliamentary election that was called to defuse a crisis over an ill fated war with azerbaijan.

Cubas soberana 2 Vaccine Candidate has shown 62 efficacy with just two of its three doses, according to the State Run Bio pharmaceutical corporation. It comes as the caribbean� s largest island is facing its worst outbreak since the start of the pandemic. Cubas government has opted not to import foreign vaccines but rather to rely on its own. President biden has announced that hes heading to raleigh in North Carolina later this week to encourage more people to get vaccinated. Take up is starting to stall in the us right now, almost 46 of the population are fully vaccinated, but in parts of the South And North west, rates are very low. In mississippi, just 27 of the population have had both jabs, while in the north east, Vermonts Population has the highest Vaccination Rates at 58 . Doctor Lisa Cooper is director fojohns Hopkins Center for Health Equity and the author of a new book. I have been speaking to her. Her book, why are Health Disparaties everyone� s problem . We have different levels of trusting authorities. It we have different levels of trusting authorities. We have different levels of trusting authorities. It is not as simple trusting authorities. It is not as simple as trusting authorities. It is not as simple as politics. Trusting authorities. It is not as simple as politics. I trusting authorities. It is not as simple as politics. I think| as simple as politics. I think there are amenities of colour that have been treated very poorly for a long time in the united states and as a result of Develop Mistrust of institutions. We have people in lower levels of education do not understand how the vaccine was developed and how it works. There we have some people with particular religious background or political affiliations who might have some concern around the government and coming up with a vaccine quickly and the safety of it, whether or not it is being used to trap them in some way. There are many different Groups. Some way. There are many different Groups. What is the role, do different Groups. What is the role. Do you different Groups. What is the role, do you think, different Groups. What is the role, do you think, the role, do you think, the president of the united states can usefully play here. It would make the Point Communication is everything but at a local Community Leader Level may be the best way to avoid this sort of authoritative problem that goes on.

Think he has a very important voice and he is trusted by many people but i think it is important for the federal government to work with local leaders, grassroots organisations, people who are Faith Community leaders, physicians, nurses, people trusted within that community and Groups in order to get the message across. Message across. Isnt that an element also message across. Isnt that an element also where message across. Isnt that an element also where a element also where a substantial number cannot be bothered. The crisis feels like it is over . I bothered. The crisis feels like it is over . It is over . I think there is some element it is over . I think there is some element of it is over . I think there is some element of that. I i it is over . I think there is some element of that. I think people who did not believe it was not an issue in the first place are relieved many of the restrictions have been lifted. Others feel invisible and are not at high risk. I think there is some of that and some other real issues getting in the way. People have to work, that do not have time to get off work, they may not have transportation to get to where they can get a vaccine. It is notjust they can get a vaccine. It is not just about being they can get a vaccine. It is notjust about being hesitant about taking the vaccine. Its looking as though the far right party of Marine Le Pen has failed to make the electoral breakthrough it was hoping for in france, where a first round of regional elections has been taking place. Exit polls put her party in second place well behind the main centre right republicans, but still ahead of emmanuel marcon� s centrists. As for voter turnout, it was exceptionally low. The regional elections are being watched closely for clues to next yea r� S President Ial contest. Our correspondent in Paris Hugh Schofield has more. Its a very complicated election, and it breaks down into regions. Its very hard to be sure that theres any hard and fast reflection of national tendencies or trends that will come to fruit in the election next year for the presidency, but clearly Marine Le Pen was hoping for a big showing on this first round of the vote, and she hasnt really got it, as far as i can see. It looks like her vote taken nationally, taken nationally, is about 20 , but the vote for the Mainstream Right is much larger, its about 29 . She was hoping to be able to show that in two regions in particular, around nice In The South and around lille and calais in the north, that she would stand a chance of getting those next week, but those are looking much more problematic now than they were 2a hours ago so it is not a great night for her, nor is it a great night for President Macron because, as predicted, and this is where he can say, well, we didnt expect to do well, but as predicted, his Party Score is very low, probably no more than 10 nationally, and in many regions, his Party Wont get through to the second round because its so low. Hell be able to say, with some justification, it is because we are still a young party, and the turnout was so desperately low, around 33 , it meant that broadly speaking, governors or republicans or councils which were in place already may have left or tended to show to do well and therefore a big kind of reward for whoever was in place at the time. Stay with us on bbc news, still to come why abandoning the megacity Of Seoul for a more rural life is helping South Korean children through the pandemic. Members of the Neo Nazi resistant movement stormed the world trade center, armsed with shotguns. We believe in international law but we have the right to claim certain parts of this country as our land. I take pride in the words Ich Bin Ein berliner. As the uk woke up to the news that it is to exit the european union, Leave Campaigners began celebrating. In total, 17. 4 million. People voted for the uk to leave the eu. The medical Research Council have now advised the government that the great increase in Lung Cancer is due mainly to smoking tobacco. It was closing time the Checkpoint Charlie which, for 29 years, has stood on the border as a marker of allied determination to defend the city. This is bbc news, the latest headlines talks aimed at reviving the iran nuclear deal are adjourned in vienna, as israels new Prime Minister urges World Powers not to negotiate with tehran. Nine children and one adult have been killed in a crash involving 18 vehicles in the state of alabama. The head of myanmar� s ruling military is in moscow to attend a Security Conference a further sign of how the army is tightening its grip on the country. I think it is very clear that russia is now one of myanmar� s closest friends. We saw in march that he sent the Defence Minister to attend a very high profile visit. Russia denies it is supporting the regime and agrees with its methods, but nonetheless russia is now one of myanmar� s closest friends. I think this really shows that myanmar has alternatives when it comes to weapons. Alternatives when it comes to wea ons. , alternatives when it comes to weapons alternatives when it comes to wea ons. ,. , weapons. Yes, however limited they might weapons. Yes, however limited they might be. Weapons. Yes, however limited they might be, clearly weapons. Yes, however limited they might be, clearly they they might be, clearly they have access. In terms of what they might do with them, the fighting goes on, obviously, in many areas across the country. A village was torched after fighting in the area of kin ma. Do you think that is our policy to approach. To put down an insurgency, if i can call it that, like that . The violence has become much more complicated than it was at the beginning when we had protests that were put down. Now we have violence on both sides, people being trained in ethnic areas, people armed, people launching attacks on Myanmar Forces and police in ethnic areas, marginal areas, as well as the continual arrests of people who are considered to be suspect. They could be only 12 or 13 year olds. What we are seeing now is that low Level Violence is appearing in cities. People are being abducted, assassinated in urban areas. These are people suspected to be informants. The violence has become much more complicated on both sides. Do you expect this to continue and worsen . I do you expect this to continue and worsen . And worsen . I think it will continue. And worsen . I think it will continue. Unless and worsen . I think it will. Continue. Unless leadership emerges on the side of the opposition of the so called Peoples Defence forces, it will be quite difficult for this violence to become co ordinated. The army could just wait until it peters out, however, as the army continues to launch these punitive attacks, as you mention, in central myanmar, i think they will be increasing anger and increasing violence back. It is hard to see the opposition winning outright, but we will see this kind of low Level Violence escalated over coming months. For millions of children and seoul, no chance of children to see their friends or playing outside. Many say it has left them feeling isolated and depressed. Some families have abandoned the city and embarked on a rural life. As part of our education interrupted segment, oui our correspondent reports. Freedom, after almost a year cooped up inside a small inner City Apartment in seoul, this 11 year old is finally free to roam. Translation during the pandemic i couldnt go to school and took online classes every day. I cried a lot, it was so hard. There were lots of things i wanted to do but i couldnt do any of them. But exploring the village, right away i was captivated. The traditional old houses, so close to nature, i really loved that. But in south korea, academic success is everything. Translation people kept saying, why are | you going there . They called me weird. South korean mums are eager to send their kids to a good university. Education fever here is really high. They thought by moving here we were giving up on education. But i dont think the city is the only way to study. I want to raise my children in a challenging environment. I want them to learn nothing comes for free. And he is not the only new kid in town. Arriving in southjeolla province, schools here are enjoying a revival. Translation seven new students have joined our school this year. One girl used to study only with her teacher but now she can enjoy group activities and projects. With more than 80 new students arriving in the area, its notjust schools that are flourishing. Translation now it is a town where kids run around. It used to be a town with no children but now young families live here, too. The atmosphere is really lively and i hear lots of laughter. Translation i believe this has been one of the happiest times | of my life, because it was filled with all the delightful things. Julie yoonnyung lee, bbc news. A ugandan Team Coach has tested positive for covid as the organisers prepare to impose particularly tight precautions to prevent any outbreaks and the Athletes Village. Our correspondent reports. This is the first chance because of the media have been able to have look at the tokyo olympic games. Soon, thousands of athletes will arrive in tokyo and this is where they will stay. Olympic organisers have brought us here today to show us how they will do it safely. This is a representation of what the Athletes Village bedrooms look like. These are the beds. Quite small. They are also, as you can see, are made of cardboard. The main issue about the design of these bedrooms as they are shared, as they always have been in previous olympics, but many experts are now saying that sharing rooms could be a bad idea. This is one of the main dining halls. You can see it is pretty vast, and it needs to be because they will serve 115,000 meals every day during the games. To mitigate the risk of having so many people coming in here every day and mixing together, they are telling athletes to use their smart Phone App to find out when it is least busy, too, alone, to pick up their meal, and come to one of these tables that will have plastic dividers. They are told they must then eat their meal alone and do so quickly. Doesnt sound like a lot of fun but that is how they mitigate risk. This is the main gym, and you can see it is pretty huge, with room for up to 500 people to train at one time. They have dividers between machines, but the main covert precautions that they will go by is for everyone to wear a mask, even when on these machines. Hard to say how they can enforce this or whether athletes will want to wear a mask when training hard on these machines. This is a facility specifically built because of the covid 19 pandemic. You wouldnt find it at a normal olympics. This is a fever clinic, where you go and get tested if you develop symptoms. You get a pcr test, and if it is positive you will be brought to this isolation room. It has a special Filtration System meaning that the Virus Cant get out. They will be kept here until they can be moved somewhere else. Whales have made it through to the last 16 of the competition. They lost to italy. Wales. They lost to italy. Wales.

Italy lined match at home in a century. I am happy. Italy lined up with eight changes from their last game, but if they were weakened, they werent showing it. Bilotti was acrobatic and attack. Mancini seemed to be working his magic. Italian pressures soon paid off, this precision giving them a lead at the break. At the final whistle, relief for rome back home. Outclassed but out of the group and into the next round. Wales still have something to believe in. This wales still have something to believe im believe in. As long as we get through. Believe in.

Brightening up as the week goes on as things turned a Bit Cloudier and more showery further north as we go through the week and, to start with rather cool, too. An area of low pressure to the southwest of us which has thrown up some Weather Fronts to take us into the start of monday across southern counties of england. Its here where there will be more persistent rain on the South Coast first thing. Not a cold start here, but chillier elsewhere with clear skies away from this zone of Thicker Cloud In Southern Scotland Producing 1 2 showers. That Will Push Into Northern England slowly as we go through the day, Sunshine Either Side of it. But notice how the rain develops more widely in southern counties of england as we go through monday, inching up close to the South And East midlands, parts of east anglia, too, maybe even close to southeast wales. But much of wales and the midlands stays dry and bright, still got the Northeasterly Breeze here and, where the rain is falling, temperatures will struggle to get above the mid teens. A few showers in northern england, but towards the western coast here, West Wales and western scotland, we could get to around 19 20 celsius during the afternoon. Now, through monday night, Rain Still at times across these southern counties of england that will stop temperatures from falling, but clearer skies, midlands, wales, northwards means its going to be a chilly start to tuesday morning. The first night after the summer solstice, we could even see A Touch Of Frost through some Shelter Valleys in the grampians. Thats because weve got an area of high pressure building up from the azores wrong side of us, though, because around it, were bringing in some Cold Airfrom the north as we go through tuesday. Cold relative to the time of year, of course, but it will help to clear away the rain eventually from the southernmost counties of england. Long, sunny spells for most to begin with, clouding over a touch through the afternoon across england and wales as the cloud builds up and spreads out. Not as chilly for some of you as monday will have been. Another Cool Night across england and wales as we go into wednesday. Here, the best of the dry and brighter weather, but clouds spitting in from the northwest will bring in a few spots of rain or drizzle. Even with that cloud, though, slightly milder air, 18 19 celsius across the north, but 21 further south. Thursday will bring that cloud further south in fact, The End of the week cloudy for most with a few splashes of rain at times, but temperatures near average forjune.
