Welcome to bbc newsroom live. The husband of a british iranian woman, being held in prison in tehran, has urged the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, to retract in parliament, a suggestion he made that shed been training journalists when she was arrested last year. Mrs Zaghari Ratcliffe is serving a five year prison sentence, over allegations of involvement in propaganda against the regime. Richard ratcliffe says his wife was simply visiting relatives, and fears iranian officials are using mrjohnsons statement to increase herjail sentence. The foreign secretary is expected to phone his iranian counterpart this morning. We arejoined now we are joined now by our assistant political editor, norman smith. Borisjohnson has spoken to the uranium foreign minister this morning. We do not know the outcome of that meeting. I am told it will be made more clear later today when the Prime Ministers spokesman briefs reporters. We know Boris Johnson will make a statement in the house of commons. Crucially, that will not be about the position of mrs Zaghari Ratcliffe, but about countering Islamic State. But i think the expectation within the body of the statement is that mr johnson will seek to clarify his mistake when he suggested she was in tehran to teach iranians about journals, which has given the iranian authorities a reason that they say is to possibly increase her jail sentence, maybe doubling it. All of this provoked after mr johnson appeared before the foreign affa i rs johnson appeared before the Foreign Affairs select committee on wednesday last week. It was here he made those remarks suggesting in many peoples eyes he was undercutting the defence argument of Zaghari Ratcliffe that she was on holiday and was actually there to traina holiday and was actually there to train a journalist. Listen to this. If you look at what mrs Zaghari Ratcliffe if you look at what mrs Zaghari Ratcliffe was if you look at what mrs Zaghari Ratcliffe was doing, she was simply teaching people journalism, asi simply teaching people journalism, as i understand. This incorrect assessment by mrjohnson is the latest in a series of episodes where he has used language which has gotten he has used language which has gotte n into he has used language which has gotten into difficulty and led to criticism of his role as foreign secretary. If you think back to the anger he caused the Libyan Government after he talked to the Tory Party Conference about clearing dead bodies away so it could become a tourist resort and similarly he was caught on film telling the British Ambassador not to recite a kipling poem and now this latest saga. But he has been defended by International Trade secretary, liam fox. He warned against trying to make Political Capital out of this moment because it might make mrs Zaghari Ratcliffes position worse. This is what he said on the today programme. It is important we keep this in perspective. First, this is a uk citizen held on extreme and unproven charges in an unacceptable way. It is right we remind people that her detention is utterly unacceptable in an international way. The point the brand secretary was making is that this arrest and detention is not acceptable. That the foreign secretary. I am joined by acceptable. That the foreign secretary. I amjoined by a acceptable. That the foreign secretary. I am joined by a former labour warren secretary. What is your assessment, jack straw of the response to the fact borisjohnson made an error . Labour foreign secretary. By all accounts this was a grave error. She was on holiday and not doing what mrjohnson said she was doing. He should have taken less than six days to make this clear. Rule one, if you are British Foreign secretary, careless talk can cost lives. In the case of mrs Zaghari Ratcliffe cost lives. In the case of mrs Zaghari Ratcliffe it cost lives. In the case of mrs Zaghari Ratcliffe it may literally cost an extra five years in prison. All of us in these high offices sometimes make mistakes. If you do make a mistake, however, you need to go to the house of commons as quickly as possible and say, im sorry, i got it wrong. People will normally take that in good faith if you say that very clearly. I am amazed mrjohnson you say that very clearly. I am amazed mr johnson has you say that very clearly. I am amazed mrjohnson has decided to make a statement about Islamic State. That is very important but he could easily make two statements, i did it often enough, and say this is the situation, sorry, i got it wrong. I do not understand why he is putting his sense of himself about the security and safety of mrs Zaghari Ratcliffe. The security and safety of mrs zaghariratcliffe. There were some other incidents where he used loose language and caused diplomatic difficulty. Is eats it to be foreign secretary . In many ways he does have the quality. Is he fit to be foreign secretary . He is a bright man with a good turn of phrase but if he carries on like this, his own side are going to say that you need Something Else to do. The shadow foreign secretary has said he should consider his position. Lets see what he says and what he doesnt this afternoon. This is serious for him and the reason why after a political career is that it is deadly serious for mrs Zaghari Ratcliffe deadly serious for mrs Zaghari Ratcliffe will stop deadly serious for mrs Zaghari Ratcliffe will stop i am pleased mrjohnson Zaghari Ratcliffe will stop i am pleased mr johnson. Zaghari ratcliffe will stop i am pleased mrjohnson. I am pleased he has spoken to the Israeli Foreign minister but the elected government ina run, minister but the elected government in a run, although quite powerful in the areas it deals with, it does not have control over the security and judiciary. Iranians foreign secretary. The revolutionary guards are leading this and would have regarded brianjohnsons are leading this and would have regarded Brian Johnsons are leading this and would have regarded brianjohnsons Boris Johnsons comments as. Part of iranians society, lots of them are pleased about the relationship with the uk but many are very suspicious about the uk and regard us as the clu b about the uk and regard us as the club of satan. Anything like this confirms their suspicion that many british people in a run although doing straightforward things are spying on their country. We know the arabian authorities were reviewing their case and looking at bringing fresh charges. Iranians authorities. Have they seized on Boris Johnsons remarks authorities. Have they seized on borisjohnsons remarks and were they going to increase the sentence anyway . No doubt they seized on the remarks. However, they still need a justification. At the court of International Public opinion and local Public Opinion and in this very complex nexus of political relationships in tehran had to have an argument with people like the foreign minister, who is a decent and responsible man who would never have done this. Yes, they have seized upon it but it gives them an excuse which was not there before for lengthening mrs Zaghari Ratcliffes for lengthening mrs Zaghari Ratcliffes sentence. For lengthening mrs zaghariratcliffes sentence. Jack straw, thank you for your time. The Foreign Office had issued a statement, last night, which appeared to suggest mrjohnson was looking to outline what were described as some of the most extreme and unproven allegations against mrs Zaghari Ratcliffe, namely that she had been teaching journalism. We have obviouslyjust heard mrjohnsons words and it does look pretty clear he did think she was teaching journalism which is simply wrong, at least according to her husband and the Reuters Foundation for which she works. Studio for now, thank you, norman. The Prime Minister has asked for the ministerial code of conduct to be tightened after the International Development secretary an apologised for Holding Secret meetings with israeli officials during her summer holiday. She suggested some of the aid budget should be given to the israeli army to support humanitarian operations. Labour said the shocking admission wa rra nts labour said the shocking admission warrants a Cabinet Office enquiry. James landale is here. Tell us more about the work she commissioned when she came back from holiday. This is one of the great questions. What emerged from these 12 meetings she had on her trip . We know of two of them. One was a discussion about what is called a memorandum of understanding between israel and the uk overdevelopment in africa. Israel isa uk overdevelopment in africa. Israel is a centre of excellence for our technology and priti patel had a lot of discussions about what technology could be used for Water Purification and things like that. When it comes to the Development Work the uk is doing in africa. That is the first thing. The second thing is this idea, slightly counterintuitive, of the British Government using its aid budget to support israeli army humanitarian work in the middle east. In the Golan Heights, the area of territory disputed north east of the sea of galilee, the israeli army has had a large operation there for several years has had a large operation there for several yea rs now, has had a large operation there for several years now, where it takes syrian civilians and some rebel fighters who had been injured in conflict in syria, takes them across the border, and treats them in israeli hospitals and sometimes other hospitals in other countries. Once people are better again it returns them to syria. The suggestion was, could this be some operation the british judgment could get involved in . When priti patel came home she asked officials to look at it and they spoke to the Foreign Office. The Foreign Office said there were some problems, namely humanitarian aid might be needed more elsewhere in the second problem is the British State does not recognise the israeli annexation of the Golan Heights so it would be ha rd of the Golan Heights so it would be hard for officials to work here. We have heard there will be an urgent question on this issue in the house of commons later. How precarious is priti patels position . Of commons later. How precarious is priti patels position . She is under political pressure, no doubt about that. Labour have called upon her to resign. I think the governed and the Prime Minister in particular will be very keen for her not to resign. Government. First the fragility of the administration. They lost a cabinet minister in Michael Fallon last week over the harassment scandal. She would be loathe in general terms to lose another cabinet minister so quickly. If she loses priti patel the cabinet becomes unbalanced in the british macro debate. Shes strong supporter of it. Strong supporter of brexit and she is under pressure. Thank you. Legislation setting out how britain could trade with the rest of the world after leaving the eu is also due to be published today. The government says the brexit trade bill will include provisions for the uk to implement existing eu trade agreements, as well as powers to ensure British Companies can continue to access government contracts in other countries. The bill is part of a raft of legislation on brexit to be discussed by parliament over the next year. President trump is on a visit to south korea thats dominated by worries over the norths nuclear programme. At a News Conference in seoul, mr trump called on the International Community to put pressure on on north korea to halt its nuclear ambitions. North korea is a worldwide threat that requires worldwide action. We call upon every responsible nation, including china and russia, to demand the north korean regime ends its Nuclear Weapons and missile programmes and lives in peace as the south Korean People know so well, it is time to act with urgency and great determination. Mark lowen explains whether or not he has seen any evidence of marking a turning point in north korea. We have seen a President Trump and ban ki moon trying to present a united front and try to get onto the same page in terms of north korea. There has been somewhat of a disagreement between the two over the right approach. You had Donald Trumps bombastic rhetoric labelling the north korea leader as little rocket man and threatening to totally destroy north korea. That did not go down well here. Yes, you need a Firm Approach to north korea, you need to stand firm against north korea but you need to not shut down the door to diplomacy, to political and economic pressure. I think what we saw from donald trump was much less bellicose rhetoric. He was firm and said the us was ready to use military might against north korea, but the fact he was showing some restraint, that will be a sign of encouragement for south korea. Possibly that is the kind of approach to north korea that might antagonise them rather less than has been the case in recent weeks and months when the north korea leader responded to President Trumps rhetoric by labelling him a donor ca rd rhetoric by labelling him a donor card and saying the us declared war on north korea. Doted. Card and saying the us declared war on north korea. Doted. The husband of an iranian woman imprisoned in tehran said Bruce Johnson made a gaffe about comments about her with potentially serious consequences. An urgent question will be asked in the house of commons about the action of the International Development secretary, priti patel, after she apologises for Holding Secret meetings with israeli officials during her holiday.
