giant us energy company 3 hours of breaking stories, and checking out the truth behind them. says that wheatstone, its facility we begin here in london in western australia is now back to as the metropolitan police say they have received an allegation full production of liquefied natural of a sexual assault dating back 20 gas following a fault earlier. this years, it follows media reports about comedian and actor russell brand. is one of two facilities owned by chevron in western australia. that officers say an incident is alleged to have taken place in soho, are now subject to industrial action. that is intensified over the in central london, in 2003. they added that "officers are in contact with the woman weekend from brief work stoppages to and will be providing full 2a—hour stoppages. and the her with support". earlier, a woman who accused trade unions involved say that this mr brand of sexual assault industrial action is likely to said his response to the allegations continue past the end of the month when it was scheduled to end. has been "insulting". the woman, known as "alice", says she was 16 at the time. chevron, for its part, is always insisting that it will do all that it can to make sure that its supplies of lng are delivered safely and reliably. australia's industrial umpire is trying to broker a deal between both sides. we understand that there were talks today, monday and more are scheduled for tomorrow. all of this matters because australia is one of the world's major exporters of liquefied natural gas supply in many countries in asia. for example, if china and japan cannot get enough supplies of australian lng, they will go shopping elsewhere. potentially driving up prices and of course increasing anxiety in international energy markets. film is that they're reporting for us from sydney. those are your business headlines. you watching bbc news. bringing you different stories from across the uk. there is a constant buzz

getting the human element that is at the heart of everything that we do. but today, and their freedom, the freedoms of these americans for so long unjustly imprisoned and detained in iran, means pretty basic things. it means that husbands and wives, fathers and children, grandparents can hug each other again. can see each other again. can be with each other again. let’s be with each other

that emotion thatis blinken. but behind that emotion that is of course the politics and diplomacy that has led to say. some of that has come under criticism from some areas in us politics. that is absolutely — from some areas in us politics. trust is absolutely right. you have several republicans who have criticised the biden administration for this deal. some of them flagging in interview that iranian president did with nbc in which he said the money, the $6 billion that is going to be unfrozen will be iran's to do with it as it pleases. we have heard from several members of the us government to really pushing back against that. we had that again from secretary antony blinken saying that that money, and in fact this deal is held up for a long time was held up until the exact contours of this arrangement was nailed down. that the money that was unfrozen will be used solely for humanitarian processes. it is iranian money that was in south korea that was used as payments from south korea for iranian oil some time ago during the last administration. and that there would be some third parties that would be some third parties that would get that money and it wouldn't be any iranian offenders and there would be controls in place to make sure that it is just going to humanitarian purposes such as medicine, food, agricultural products. so, as you say, while he talks there and started his remark speaking about the emotion behind this, about the need to reunite americans with their families, that thatis americans with their families, that that is the highest priority of this administration politics aside. we also see them bringing up these political points that are important to stop the criticism that is coming their way. to stop the criticism that is

in his statement that the united states will continue to hold iran accountable and take actions for iran's provocative actions in the region. many people have suggested that this perhaps leaves an opening or room to revive talks on the iran nuclear deal. what we have heard from the administration and other diplomats that really, nothing has moved in that direction. so, while this is a positive development it does seem to be very isolated to this one incident where the us thought they could get this deal in their favour that helps reunite americans with their families. . ., reunite americans
