And the United Nation warns of Climate Apartheid with the rich avoiding the worst effects of Climate Change, and the poorest paying the price. First a date for your diary. The next leader of the conservative party will be announced on 23july. Hell become Prime Minister the next day. It will be either Boris Johnson orjeremy hunt. According to bookmakers, borisjohnson has an 80 chance of winning. And remember he was by far the most popular among conservative mps who chose the final two. Well weve been hearing from both of them. First heres Boris Johnson on talk radio. We have course will be pushing our plan into action. We will be ready to come out on october the 31st come what may. Do or die . Do or die. Come what may. Do or die . Do or die. Come what may. Thats significant. Well hold you to that boris, or the brexit party will be forming the next government . Remember, the brexit party came first in recent european elections the conservatives came fifth. They re under pressure. Now, borisjohnson is saying he wants a deal with the eu but one without the irish border backstop. Thats a measure designed to avoid a hard border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland, if the uk and the eu fail to agree a long term future trade deal. Remember too that the eu says it wont reopen the Withdrawal Agreement and the backstop is in it. Heres borisjohnson on this issue with the bbcs Political Editor laura kuenssberg. And the European Union says it will not reopen the Withdrawal Agreement. Something is going to have to give up. Heres Boris Johnson something is going to have to give up. Heres borisjohnson speaking on this issue with the bbcs Political Editor. Nobody wants a hard border in Northern Ireland. And indeed nobody believes that it will be necessary. If you want to be Prime Minister you have to tell people how you would do it, you cannotjust wish it to be true. There are abundant technical fixes that could be introduced to make sure that you dont have to have checks at the border. You are right that there is no single magic bullet, but what there is is a wealth of experience, a wealth of solutions and what has changed now is theres a real positive energy about getting it done. Nick robinson summed up what he calls the boris brexit plan in full after watching the interview. That is just brexit but its not just about brexit. Lets speak to rob watson who guides us lets speak to rob watson who guides us through these matters. A lot of policy detail coming out, at least in the headlines way, but not too much detail underneath it in terms of how it will be implemented and paid for. No, absolutely not. Let me just pause and reflect for a minute im borisjohnson who had been rather absent keeping a low profile and from his performances so far you can perhaps see why his handlers we re can perhaps see why his handlers were doing that and heres what puzzles me, it we are here and im talking to you from oxford, where borisjohnson was a student here. Talking to you from oxford, where Boris Johnson was a student here. He had been ambitious to be Prime Minister and heres what strikes me, the prize so close at hand now, he seems rather lacking in confidence. He seems rather uncertain. He does not seem the Boris Johnson he seems rather uncertain. He does not seem the borisjohnson that he seems rather uncertain. He does not seem the Boris Johnson that we are you still. Moving swiftly on to your question absolutely not. We have not had a great deal of detail on policy and indeed as my colleague was summing up it seems a Boris Johnson is betting the brexit farm on this idea that somehow the eu will negotiate a better deal with him than it did with theresa may, and failing that its no deal, brexit on october the 31st. So that is borisjohnson, brexit on october the 31st. So that is Boris Johnson, next brexit on october the 31st. So that is borisjohnson, next lets talk aboutjeremy hunt. The current foreign secretary. He started today with this promise. We need to give our brave troops the backing they need so im pledging to boost defence spending by £15bn over the next 5 years. We have not got a huge amount of detail exactly how that would be funded. In the last few hours he is given an interview to laura. Here is is telling her how he would avoid a hard border in Northern Ireland. It would be changing the backstop but with some guarantees we would not have a hard border in ireland for completely obvious reasons. That approach is not too different to what boris wants. It will be a Technology Lead solution. You are putting forward, just as Boris Johnson told us yesterday, something that the European Union has said no to. On multiple occasions. But they said is it is up to the uk to come up said is it is up to the uk to come up with a solution, but of course if you come up with a different solution, something that can work, then we will look at the whole package. It will be a Technology Lead solution, i think everyone thinks that within the next decade where not going to have these big border checks when it comes to goods because they will do it online. Lets be clear, theres no solutions that exist at the moment which could address the concerns that the European Union and ireland have about what is going to happen on that border. In that interviewjeremy hunt admitted that his Brexit Strategy is quite similar to borisjohnsons. So he wants conservative members to consider who is trustworthy. Its about the personality. If you choose the one where there is no trust and no negotiation and no deal. You dont trust Boris Johnson and think he would be trustworthy as Prime Minister was yellow i would never make those comments about a fellow candidate. I will serve borisjohnson to the very best of my ability. You have just sat there in a race of two people and said this is about who we can trust, somewhere we can trust to like me or someone we cannot trust. We were clearly talking about your opponent in this race. No, i am saying i am trustworthy. Whichever way the interview goes to think is becoming about borisjohnsons trustworthy and credibility . Thats one of those interviews that were colleague laura was doing and struggling away on that one where i am struggling to get the answer, you can imagine voters chucking stuff at the tv saying my goodness, thats a politician answering but you are absolutely right and in fact if i had to characterize the conservative leadership race so far it would be like this, and on the one hand lots of people who have worked with Boris Johnson and ben his associates over the years of saying that they dont think he is fit for high office both on the grounds of personality and his ability to grasp policy detail. And on the other hand lots of people who are his enthusiastic supporters in the conservative party and really wa nt in the conservative party and really want brexit saying no, all of this isa want brexit saying no, all of this is a smear want brexit saying no, all of this isa smearand want brexit saying no, all of this is a smear and a way of doing down brexit and mrjohnson, which i dont know about you, it makes me think of a certain country and a certain president west of here. Yes, there are some parallels. No doubt. One less thing to talk about as weve seen unusual less thing to talk about as weve seen unusual moments less thing to talk about as weve seen unusual moments from the candidates today. In a moment, jeremy hunt lets slip how long hes wanted to be Prime Minister. Quite a long time is the clue. First borisjohnson being asked on talkradio what he enjoys doing in his spare time. You could guess the answer between now and next year and youd never get it. I make buses. You make models of buses . I make models of buses. I get older, i dont know, wooden crates. Right . And then i paint them. And they have, its a box that has been used to contain two wine bottles. And it will have a dividing thing. Iturn bottles. And it will have a dividing thing. I turn it into a bus. I put passengers, you really want to know this . Youre making cardboard buses. That is what you do to enjoy yourself. No, i paint the passengers enjoying themselves. On the wonderful bus. |j on the wonderful bus. I have it ready for this moment for 30 years of my life. Ive been sitting around the cabinet table thinking howl wa nt the cabinet table thinking howl want to transform our country. He wa nted want to transform our country. He wanted to be the Prime Minister for 30 years . When did you know . |j wanted to be the Prime Minister for 30 years . When did you know . I will not say that. If i say that is going to put people off. 30 years is a very, very long time and this is britain. I would love to do this job. When i was a teenager edge a lot of making cardboard buses and dreaming of being Prime Minister. |j making cardboard buses and dreaming of being Prime Minister. I am pinching myself. It is so surreal and thinking about this, shall he say, you know people will be watching and listening all over the world thinking, politicians are normal, right . They arejust like the rest of us, i mean its an extraordinary piece of television and you cannot help wondering why they cant think of something, i dont know something straightforward. Reading . Music . Fishing . Football . One last question, its all quite diverting especially today where there has been a whole range of developments and clips, but fundamentally its about 160,000 people who have a vote, the party members. Does any of this at up to a fundamental shift from borisjohnson this at up to a fundamental shift from Boris Johnson being this at up to a fundamental shift from borisjohnson being the strong favourite . No. Thats the short a nswer favourite . No. Thats the short answer and i dont think anyone would say anything and most neutrals would say anything and most neutrals would not say that about his campaign so far. An unmitigated disaster. The conservative Party Activists want brexit, what do they wa nt activists want brexit, what do they want to . Sooner rather than later, who let me leave campaign, Boris Johnson . Lets talk about iran and the us because things are not improving. Iran says it no longer has a reason to meet its commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal. We already knew itll breach enriched uraniaum limits this week. Now were told that onjuly 7, well have more detail on other comitments that will no longer be met. Iran argues that the original deal reduced western sanctions in exchange for iranian commitments. But because the us pulled out and introduced sanctions, it says isnt willing to keep its side of the bargain any more. On top of that president rouhani saying new sanctions announced yesterday proved the white house is mentally retarded. You can imagine how that has gone down. President trump said this. Heres more from the rouhani news conference. Translation at the same time you call for negotiations you seek to sanction the foreign minister . It is obvious that you are lying. If you really wa nt obvious that you are lying. If you really want to do negotiate we would have negotiated. You come up proved to bea have negotiated. You come up proved to be a liar. You are not seeking to negotiate. If you did we would have negotiated. The other perspective. Donald trump speaking an hour ago. When you are ready, they will have to let us know. When they are ready, they will let us know. Very simple. Ready to do whatever, does not make any difference, whatever they are ready to do i am ready. The sanctions announced yesterday target irans Supreme Leader. And were told irans foreign minister will also be targeted this week. There were already extensive sanctions in place. Since then the irans currency rial has plumetted and this is inflation. A different story if you look at inflation. This would happen when the nuclear deal was signed, inflation came down from around 30 to 10 . This would happen when it introduced sanctions. Heres an interntional lawyer on the impact this has had. The sanctions have they have had a crippling effect on the day to day life of your average iranian person. Even though they exempt from sanctions things like food and medicine, practically speaking its very difficult to get those products into iran because the Global Banking restrictions. People are very concerned about significant penalties and the crippling sanctions that can come along with that. Even though they can get those products in and makes it very difficult to do so. The american policy is bring maximum pressure to bear and in the end iran will negotiate. This is the National Security advisor. It will be, i think, the combination of sanctions and other pressure that does bring iran to the table. There we re does bring iran to the table. There were it is not very good, they violated, as i mentioned before the nuclear deal and violated the nonproliferation treaty. Their say sois nonproliferation treaty. Their say so is going to be and require being backed up in their say so that they will engage in serious negotiations if we give them relief lacks a certain amount of credibility. We should make clear that the un says iran abided by the nuclear deal, its the us withdrawal from the deal that jeopardised it. They are not lined up behind with the americans are saying. John bolton was speaking in jerusalem today. Hes part of a us push to build an alliance against iran. Yesterday, secratery of state mike pompeo was in saudi arabia and emphasising the need for Maritime Security in the strait of hormuz. Thats where iran shot down a us drone last week. And where six tankers have been attacked in the last two months. The us blames iran for those too. The americans are focused on gulf states and israel much less so europe because the europeans still believe in the 2015 deal. Heres one economist with more on this. Do you see were the Trump Administration broadly had been making quite an effort over the last year, year and have half to convince traditional allies . The us has moved away from any ways, to question without a look of nato and etc. But trying to put pressure on france, germany and the uk to take a tougher line on iran, to participate in us sanctions and not to seek to show herup sanctions and not to seek to show her up the nuclear deal . The obviously cant do nothing with this little support for that and iran had given a lifeline to europe saying help us keep exporting and shore up oui help us keep exporting and shore up our economy. The us then pivoted to eastern europe, a bit of support there but not very much and we now see us officials travelling in the middle east looking to shore up regional alliances there against iran, but thus far outside of the middle east they have not been able to build a coalition. The us is a p pa re ntly to build a coalition. The us is apparently willing to go it alone on this one. Heres rana rahimpour, from bbc persian, on what iran may do next. Theres a lot they could do it and he could still be within the Nuclear Agreement with the rest of the world. Pa rt of agreement with the rest of the world. Part of it was voluntary and what they can do is that they will increase the amount of enriched uranium or increase the amount of enriched uranium oi amount increase the amount of enriched uranium or amount they keep in the country so there is a lot they can change, but they have not given us that much detail. And you arrived on site telling me president macron is becoming part of the story. Yes, he was on the phone with the iranian president and saying that iran is not looking to go into a war with United States. But he said that if they enter any of our territories we will shut them down. In terms of the major individuals in iran the headline yesterday was the americans are targeting the Supreme Leader and today they are saying the foreign minister may be targeted later this week. How significant are these decisions to target individuals . Initially the reaction was what does this mean, the church Supreme Leader does not travel abroad or have any assets abroad. Its more symbolic. The fact is that there are so many constitutions affiliated to the office that it will not be an easy job for the treasury to find out about these companies and if they can and we are talking about something between 70 if they can those companies down many of which are nesting in the middle east, if they managed to find those out they can potentially impact the iranian economy. The busy person and broadcasts around the world, is it possible to gauge how they are viewing the story . Mixed reactions obviously. About the sanctions some people knew about these and his supporters thought this is a sign that the United States is running out of options. Is that it is meaningless and baseless and it will not mean anything. There were those that thought that it was late and they were wondering why it took the United States so long to put sanctions on the Supreme Leader, but overall people all worried and every little piece of news that they receive mak
