And heading home. The children whose parents fought for the Islamic State group are returning to australia. It is 7 00am in singapore and midnight in london, where after facing days of criticism for avoiding media scrutiny, borisjohnson, who is running against the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, to be the next british Prime Minister, has spoken exclusively to the bbc. He says he would ensure a plan to deliver brexit by the end of october, declaring that the Political Landscape both in the uk and the eu has changed. Asked about controversy in his personal life, mrjohnson said it was simply not fair to talk about his family and loved ones. Here is his interview with our Political Editor laura kuenssberg. Downing street is the threshold he really wants to cross. But borisjohnson has been uncharacteristically shy about explaining why. Borisjohnson, what would you do on day one in number ten to make sure we leave the eu at halloween . I would make sure that we have a plan that will convince our european friends and partners that we are absolutely serious about coming out, and the key things that youve got to do are to take the bits of the current withdrawal agreement, which is dead, take the bits that are serviceable and get them done. The important thing is that there should be an agreement that the solution of the border questions, the Northern Irish border questions, all those issues need to be tackled on the other side of 31 october, during whats called the implementation period. But the implementation period, as it stands, is part of the withdrawal agreement. And youve said you wouldnt sign up to the withdrawal agreement, and its dead. Those things cant both be true . No, you are going to need some kind of agreement and that is certainly what i am aiming for, in order, as you rightly say, to get an implementation period. Any eu leader have been Crystal Clear that there is no kind of deal without the backstop, an insurance policy for Northern Ireland. So what evidence do you have you can get around that . No one wants a hard border in Northern Ireland and indeed, nobody believes it necessary. If you want to be Prime Minister, you have to tell people how you will do it. You cant just wish you cantjust wish it to be true. There are abundant technical fixes that can be introduced to make sure that you dont have to have cheques at the border. If you cannot get the agreement, it sounds like you are crossing your fingers, you are clear, you would take us out at halloween without a deal . An absolute guarantee . Of course, my pledge is to come out of the eu on the 31st of october. That is not where i want us to end up. It is not where i believe for a moment we will end up. But, in order to get the result that we want, the common sensical thing to do is to prepare for a wto exit. Are you willing to face the consequences of what a no deal . In the real world, the uk government is never going to impose checks or a hard border of any kind in Northern Ireland. In the real world, uk government is not going to impose tariffs on goods coming into the uk. Its notjust up to the uk. Of course, its up to the other side as well. Where he goes, controversy often follows. These loved up pictures of mrjohnson with his partner a far cry from the police at his home a few nights ago. Can you tell us what happened to at your home a few nights ago . I would love to tell you about all sorts of things, laura. But i have made a rule over many, many years i do not talk about stuff involving my family, my loved ones. And there is a very good reason for that. And that is that, if you do, you drag them into things in a way that is not fair on them. But does your privacy mean more to you than the publics ability to trust you . Because part of trust is being open, its being accountable, its being transparent . I get that, i totally get that. But my key point is the minute you stop talking about your family or your loved ones, you involve them in a debate in a way thatis simply unfairon them. Borisjohnsons chance at number ten is real and closer now. But it may still slip from his grasp. And you can see the full interview with Boris Johnson by going to our website, bbc. Com news. Lets take a look at some of the days other news President Trump has signed an executive order imposing new sanctions on tehran, saying the hard hitting measures will target irans supreme leader, ali khamenei, and his associates. Mr trump said the additional sanctions were in response to the shooting down of a us drone and, in his words, many other things. Tensions between the two countries have escalated in recent weeks. Our washington correspondent Laura Trevelyan has more on the differences the sanctions will make. Its ratcheting up yet more pressure against iran. The supreme leader, you know, hes been really isolated since the iranian revolution, but by targeting him, itjust shows that President Trump is really serious about maintaining this campaign of maximum pressure against iran. But of course, what is the us strategy here . That is the question in washington. President trumps supporters say this is typical of him, he is unpredictable. He pulled away from military action at the last minute so he is wrong footing the iranians, back to sanctions and diplomacy. But his critics say this isa diplomacy. But his critics say this is a fire of his own making, the us pulled out of the Iran Nuclear Deal which iran was abiding by, and if what the us wants is for iran not to make a nuclear weapon, well now, iran is warning that it may take the step of actually increasing the amount of uranium that it enriches, then what does the us do . So a very tricky situation here. Also making news today a british man has beenjailed for life for trying to kill two people by pushing them onto train tracks on the london underground. Paul crossley will serve a minimum of 12 years for the separate attacks that happened on the same day in april last year.

Toy story 4, starring tom hanks and tim allen, opened in cinemas on friday and earned 238 million over the weekend, performing especially well in latin america and europe. My my favourite character is forky. Eight children who have been living in a syrian refugee camp are currently making their way home to australia, after accompanying their parents, who joined Islamic State. Among them are three orphaned children of the notorious Australian Foreign fighter Khaled Sharrouf, who made headlines after posing in a photograph with a severed head. The children, including the eldest, who is heavily pregnant and has two toddlers, have been reunited with their maternal grandmother, karen nettleton, who lives in australia. Joining me for more from perth is Australian Labour politician anne aly. These children have seen unimaginable things. Where do you begin to assimilate them back in australia . Well, i guess you start looking at their most dire needs. So they certainly need a complete assessment, that would look at their health and their mental health, and have a look at what kind of traumas they have suffered. So they would need to have holistic levels of support, that would help them to reiterate into society. And you think about children and you think about all the things that children learn, particularly in those crucial early years, about being an adult or about being a child even reintegrate. Even learning how to play. And sadly, these children would have likely missed out on those things. So they got a lot of catching up to do. The children of Khaled Sharrouf are going to their grandmother. What of the children of anotherfighter, grandmother. What of the children of another fighter, because they are all orphans. What is happening to them . Where do they go . Well, that hasnt been decided yet, but i imagine that Family Services would be dealing with those cases when they arrive in australia. Is it important that they go back into some kind of family grouping . Well, it is, what is more important though is they have some form of stability and some form of normality, some way thats going to socialise them back into normality. But again, all of this would depend upon a complete assessment. And when we talk about the radicalisation programmes and some kind of umbrella terminology, what we are really talking about is a suite of programmes and strategies that should be tailored to each individual. So each child needs to be thoroughly assessed before we make any decisions about the kinds of supports and services that they are going to need. Of course, its extremely complicated and very sensitive. How do governments, how should they be handling the repatriation of former is fighters. In this case, the eight children are orphans. What of those many, many children in camps who are still with their parents. Should they be removed . How do governments handle this . Look, i think it removed . How do governments handle this . Look, ithink it depends removed . How do governments handle this . Look, i think it depends on each government and depends on each individual case. When it comes to adults adults and people who went over as adults and young adults, made the decision to go over and ta ke made the decision to go over and take part in active comment there, i think its a very different case. Its very, very different to dealing with children who were taken over there and orphans over there. I think the children who still have pa rents over think the children who still have parents over there, different considerations need to be made. But in many cases, the children were taken over there in many cases, the children were ta ken over there not in many cases, the children were taken over there not with. Well, in all cases, really, the children we re in all cases, really, the children were taken over there without their knowledge, without their permission. Its not their fault, knowledge, without their permission. Its not theirfault, you cant blame the children. So i imagine that even, in some cases, the children might want to leave the pa rental children might want to leave the parental situation, if thats in a refugee camp in syria or in a combat zone somewhere in syria. 0k, well, many thanks for talking us through this. Anne aly, many thanks. Thank you. Youre watching newsday on the bbc. Still to come on the programme we report from south korea, and the sinister side of some of seouls most elite nightclubs.
