The challenge of getting the kids to bed when its light until midnight. We travel to shetland where the sun barely sets in midsummer. And our sunday morning edition of the papers is at 9. 35, this mornings reviewers are david rudin, the Political Editor at the sun on sunday, and business commentatorjosie cox. Hello, good morning. A neighbour of tory leadership hopeful borisjohnson and his partner have defended calling the police after overhearing a row at the couples flat, and passing a recording of the incident to a newspaper. The story continues to dominate the front pages of the papers today. Our Political Correspondent nick eardley is here with us. What more can you tell us about this . Tom penn is the neighbour who called the police and passed a recording onto the guardian newspaper. He said his wife and he were concerned about some noises coming from the flight that Boris Johnson some noises coming from the flight that borisjohnson is shares with his girlfriend carrie symonds, that they knocked on the door three times, got no answer, that is when they decided to phone the police. Also defending the decision to give that recording to the guardian newspaper, saying he thinks it is in the public interest. There have been in the newspapers this morning some questions raised about the motivations of mr penn and his partner to give that recording onto the newspaper, also some of Boris Johnsons allies tweeting yesterday to say, that is something going on here when you phone the police and then pass the recording onto the newspaper. He is absolutely adamant that he thinks hes done the right thing. Borisjohnson, that he thinks hes done the right thing. Boris johnson, as that he thinks hes done the right thing. Borisjohnson, as you say, has yet to comment on this. He was asked about it repeatedly yesterday ata asked about it repeatedly yesterday at a conservative party sings in birmingham. Ithink at a conservative party sings in birmingham. I think we can have a listen. Conservative party hustings. You are not going to make any comment at all and what happened la st any comment at all and what happened last night. I think that its pretty obvious from the foregoing. 0k. Last night. I think that its pretty obvious from the foregoing. Ok. I. I have sat where you start, i understand the responsibilities. I did answer the first question. 0k, lets move on. That was part of a lengthy exchange. I think the feeling in team johnson is he does not talk about his private life, he hasnt so far and he is not going to now. I wouldnt be surprised if that continues. He is not going to now. I wouldnt be surprised if that continuesm there any sign at all of those having an impact on thejohnson campaign . Very hard to say in any concrete terms. At the hustings, got a glimpse in the clip, there were some in the audience who quite clearly did not want the question to be answered. They are either supporters of Boris Johnson be answered. They are either supporters of borisjohnson or do not think the puzzle elements of his life should be part of this campaign. The personal elements. There is a hole in the mail on sunday suggesting amongst conservative voters this is cut the lead of Boris Johnson conservative voters this is cut the lead of borisjohnson in the race to be the new conservative leader. I suppose these questions will continue. Many people in the political world want to know what goes on. But mrjohnson, so far anyway, has shown no answer. There are going to be 16 hustings, long way to go. A month in this leadership contest, there is hustings around the country where the two will be tested largely on policy more than issues like this. Theres a lot to talk about, both men explaining that approaches to brexit, both of which have been criticised by opponents, both approaches some would say are undeliverable or completely fanciable. Thats a long way to go on this, if you are struggling to keep up already, that is going to be a lot of testing to come. He will guide us through it all. I know. Thank you very much indeed. Let us discuss this a little bit more now. Joining me now is the former conservative cabinet minister, sir malcom rifkind. Thank you very much for being with us. Thank you very much for being with us. Good morning. What you make of this row, a storm in a teacup or important to know the character of somebody who wants to be this countrys Prime Minister . The answer to both questions is yes. I think borisjohnson has to both questions is yes. I think Boris Johnson has made to both questions is yes. I think borisjohnson has made an error of judgment. If you are in the running to become our next Prime Minister and the police are called to your house, you cannot really expect to get away with no comment. It makes it look like you have something to hide. I dont think he should have spent a great deal of time talking about what happened, all he had to say, in the best of partnerships and in the best of managers, occasionally there are furious rows. I dont think there is a relationship in the country that has not had that. He could have said that and that would have been enough. But saying no comment implies it is none of your business, and it is the business of the public to know why the police have been called to his property. Although some of his supporters are saying the neighbours who recorded this and then pass it onto a national the guardian, that wasnt a clever thing to do. Maybe it was, maybe it wasnt. That is for them to explain. They say they knocked on the door three times. If you do hear what is that many right going on, you knock on the door and nobody answers, then you do begin to worry that something is up and that you need to be reported. One of his biographers who work with Boris Johnson reported. One of his biographers who work with borisjohnson quite a few yea rs work with borisjohnson quite a few years ago says this is typical of him. He has quite a short fuse, quite a temper on him. Again, is that relevant . I suppose if you are the Prime Minister and ring trying to remake a surging trying to win next day she had to deal in brexit, with that have a perfect . Renegotiate. It is a whole host of issues that have opened up the question whether he has the capability, commonly personality to handle thejob capability, commonly personality to handle the job of prime minster. I worked for two premises, john major and Margaret Thatcher, they do not have much in common if truth be told, but one thing they did have in common with the ability to actually absorb faster dance of information to work incredibly hard, supervising not just one to work incredibly hard, supervising notjust one Government Department but the whole spectrum of government, knowing what was going on, providing leadership, providing Strategic Direction and that is what i look for another Prime Minister. I think that is what the country looks for. Boris might be a nonexecutive chairman with able people around him, some people suggest. The last thing we want in a Prime Minister wrote as a nonexecutive chairman. We wa nt clear wrote as a nonexecutive chairman. We want clear control and knowledge of what is going on in their own government and being able to speak to other Prime Ministers and heads of government on equal terms with them respecting what you have to say, whether or not they agree with you. Do you think any of this row will make much difference in terms of the campaign, the battle for the leadership of the party . He is widely loved, not to say adored by many of the conservative Party Membership you are going to be voting, lets be honest, they know about his pretty colourful personal life, it has been well documented over the years . If itsjust a colourful personal life, i do not think that is an issue. George had a personal life, but that did not affect him being a good Prime Minister. I dont know whether the stories will damage him over the next few weeks but i know the conservative party, the Party Members who are going to be making the decision, they are serious people, they are not frivolous, they like bowlers, they would like to be persuaded his the right person for Prime Minister they like borrowers. Does he have the qualities required for the huge burden, the huge never ceasing burden, we capped a week, looking at the menu shy of policy, understand what youre doing, not just making it up as you go along, these are the qualities they will be looking to see, is that what he is oi looking to see, is that what he is or does he have the capability of developing into a first class Prime Minister . I think thejury developing into a first class Prime Minister . I think the jury out. What aboutjeremy hunt. His style on this campaign trail, he takes his jacket off, looks like he is serious about being this countrys next prime minster. I do not think that will make much difference whether he has jacket on or not, i think what is releva nt jacket on or not, i think what is relevant he has been a cabinet minister for seven relevant he has been a cabinet ministerfor seven years relevant he has been a cabinet minister for seven years into crucial departments, health and the Foreign Office. No one has thought it necessary to question his capability of running great departments of state. He has shown over six, seven departments of state. He has shown over six, seven years departments of state. He has shown over six, seven years that he can do that. I am over six, seven years that he can do that. Iam more over six, seven years that he can do that. I am more interested in that and whether he has a colourful personal life or not. The Party Membership may not like that he voted remain in the referendum. Half the country voted remain. I think thatis the country voted remain. I think that is pretty foolish. A large number of people, including myself, voted remain but have accepted that brexit is the decision and that is what we need to see implement it. I think it has to be pretty petty to go into details. Boris only made up his mind at the last moment. He had to list of pros and cons and he eventually decided the arguments for leaving were stronger than the ones for staying in. It is not a lifetime commitment to the issue that he now puts his position. Finally, do you think this race could be closer than some people have been anticipating . I think it was always artificially widen the sentencing boris has vast support. When there were 12 candidates standing, people only boris, many of the other candidates we re boris, many of the other candidates were hardly known except by name. While were seeing now is two think of change. It down to two, jeremy hunt will have the same exposure as borisjohnson, people will be able to compare the two, but also it is no longerjust to compare the two, but also it is no longer just an to compare the two, but also it is no longerjust an opinion poll. In the last few weeks, the last couple of months, it has been an opinion poll. Now it is actually taking a decision, notjust on brexit. Brexit is the most important issue, but who is the most important issue, but who is going to be able to handle the incredibly difficultjob of being Prime Minister over the next three yea rs Prime Minister over the next three years and get the. The government, the conservative party, in the meantime have lost its reputation for competence and being able to deliver the goods, notjust on brexit but in a whole range of issues, very bad state. You need a Prime Minister who cannot just issues, very bad state. You need a Prime Minister who cannotjust cheer people up, you need a Prime Minister so who can provide leadership, like Margaret Thatcher did. Like other premises have done in the past. That is thejudgment premises have done in the past. That is the judgment that the Party Members will be asking themselves. Not who do we like, who seems cheerful, here we are a new spy, but who is the Prime Minister we could be comfortable representing this country by the time and abroad in the most competent way . Very good talking to you. Thank you for being with us this morning. The Foreign Office minister, andrew murrison, is visiting the iranian capital tehran for talks aimed at easing tensions between iran and america. President trump says the United States is pressing ahead with additional sanctions on iran, to stop it from developing a nuclear weapon. Tehran recently said it intended to breach an agreed limit on its stockpile of enriched uranium. Tom bateman is in fujairah. This is a situation where we have seen this is a situation where we have seen real tension, President Trump as we know there close to ordering military strikes on around the other day. Yes, that was thursday when just across the water, a us drone was shot down by the iranians in those disputed circumstances because the american said it was an international airspace. The iranians said it was in their airspace above their territorial waters. Since then, we have lynn that President Trump within them moments of authorising a retaliatory strike but stood it down at the last minute because he feared 150 iranians could die. He did not think that would be proportionate. This remains a volatile atmosphere here in the gulf and in the context of all that, the 2015 nuclear deal with the iranians, the americans pulled out of, that was last year. Ever since then, the crippling sanctions that have put the reigning economy into freefall, so we the reigning economy into freefall, so we have this british ministerial visit to tehran today. I think on the agenda, they are going to call for the escalation, the brits, the capping of what they see as arounds aggressive regional behaviour, i think the iranians themselves will be pushing the british and the europeans to honour a commitment that they gave to create a mechanism for European Companies to be able to trade with the iranians and alleviate some of the punishing effects of those sanctions imposed by the United States. I think the temperature remains pretty high here and we had last night donald trump saying that on the one hand, he felt that if the iranians would complain with his version, not that of the nuclear deal, but comply with his version of nuclear weapons, he said they could be best friends, lets make a they could be best friends, lets makea run they could be best friends, lets make a run great again. Around great again. But on the other hand, he said if not, it could be a better relation. Thank you very much. It could be obliterated in. The headlines on bbc news the neighbour of Boris Johnson and his partner defends calling the police and giving a recording to a newspaper after apparently hearing a row mrjohnson refused to answer questions about the incident yesterday. Tackling the tensions between iran and the us a senior Foreign Office minister heads to tehran to appeal for calm. North Koreas Kim Jong un says hes received a personal letter from donald trump, which he describes as excellent. The north Korean Leader kimjong un has received a personal letter from us President Donald Trump according to state media. Mr kim praised the letter as excellent and said he would seriously contemplate the interesting content. Earlier our correspondent laura bicker gave me this update from seoul. Kim jong un was pictured on the front of the north korean state newspaper, reading the letter from donald trump and he said he would contemplate the interesting content of that letter. Could it be, for instance, that donald trump has come up with another proposal . Certainly the timing is interesting, donald trump is due to visit asia later this week, firstly at the g20 in osaka and then hes coming here to seoul to meet with president moonjae in for talks about the Korean Peninsula situation. Its no secret, the talks between the United States and north have stalled since that summit in hanoi where both sides failed to reach a deal. There have been very few talks between the two sides, but there have been letters between the two leaders. I think the interesting thing for us here is can these lovely letters, a beautiful letter, as donald trump declared, from kim jong un, and now an extraordinary letter to kim jong un from donald trump, can those letters be turned into actual meetings, and can those meetings be turned into a deal . Laura bicker reporting. President trump has announced a delay of two weeks in his programme to deport 2000 migrant families. Mr trump tweeted that the delay was at the request of Democratic Party leaders. He said he hoped they could work out a solution on immigration reform, but if not, then the deportations would start. Raids by the immigration authorities had been due to begin on sunday morning in cities with large immigrant communities. Researchers say theyve uncovered a Large Scale Campaign to plant fake content on twitter and facebook. The Atlantic Council, a us think tank, says the material originates in russia.
