At least six people have been killed and 16 injured after a sinkhole swallows a bus and pedestrians in central china. And in sport, players struggle with poor air quality at qualifying for the Australian Open as bushfires continue to burn in the country. Good morning and welcome to the bbc news at 9. Prime minister borisjohnson has given his first major tv interview since his decisive victory in the general election last month. In a wide ranging interview, the pm said the International Nuclear agreement with iran could be replaced by a deal negotiated by donald trump, saying a trump deal would be a great way forward. On brexit, mrjohnson said it is enormously likely there will be a trade deal with the eu by the end of 2020. And the Prime Minister suggested there could be a public Fundraising Campaign to raise money so big ben can ring on 31stjanuary when the uk leaves the eu. Our Political Correspondent iain watson is in westminster. Lets begin with iran. Was this effectively and admission by the Prime Minister that he thinks the Obama Nuclear deal is over and the only way forward is for a new deal negotiated by donald trump . That seems to be the case. You may see some cabinet ministers going on behind me, a Cabinet Meeting will start in around 20 minutes and i am sure that will be a topic for discussion, but given that President Trumps relations with iran had deteriorated and he has been critical of the deal negotiated by borisjohnson, critical of the deal negotiated by Boris Johnson, critical of the deal negotiated by borisjohnson, negotiated by 0bama, it looks like borisjohnson wa nts to 0bama, it looks like borisjohnson wants to go for a new tack. When askedif wants to go for a new tack. When asked if he was told in advance about the assassination of general qasem soleimani, he said he did not think britain needed to be informed and it was not a british operation. We have troops stationed in iraq, so he might have raised some eyebrows by that. He praised iran at least for accepting responsibility for the shooting down of the ukrainian aircraft and he talked about dialling down tensions, but he seemed to be urging President Trump directly to institute a new deal to try to prevent iran acquiring nuclear weapons. Somehow or other, weve got to stop the iranians acquiring a nuclear weapon. I think thats the most. Thats what the joint collective points agreement does, the jcpoa. But if we are going to get rid of it, then we need a replacement. Now, the problem with the jcpoa is basically, and this is the crucial thing, this is why there is this tension, the problem with the agreement is from the American Perspective its a flawed agreement, it expires, plus it was negotiated by president obama and from their point of view it has many, many faults. Well, if were going to get rid of it, lets replace it, and lets replace it with the trump deal. 0k. Thats what we need to see. Domestically, mrjohnson was also asked about social care, a massively important issue but not really touched upon in the queen speech, so what if he had to say . There have been criticisms of that, because on the very steps of downing street, backin the very steps of downing street, back in the summer when he was elected at that stage before the general election simply as leader of the conservative party, he claimed he already had a plan for social care, one of the most contentious issues in british politics in recent yea rs. Issues in british politics in recent years. But it was not there very prominently in the governments legislative programme, but this time he said the issue could not be avoided, he would tackle it and he suggested we would not have very long to wait to see that plan fulfilled. See that plan in full. We are going to get on and deal with this, so that people get the care they need in their old age, but dont have to sell their home to pay for their care. What about a date, Prime Minister . Well certainly do it in this parliament. Thats potentially five years away. Look, last year you said. Well bring forward the plan. Last year you said there was a plan, and we would do it, and now youre saying in the term of this parliament. Thats not the sort of urgency you intimated when you took over. We will be bringing forward a plan this year, but we will get it done within this parliament. Its a big, big thing. This is a potentially massive change in the way we fund social care. This was a wide ranging interview and the Prime Minister was also asked about plans in terms of opportunity and more powerfor the north, something that was a big issue in his campaign and that he focused on a lot, what were his thoughts on that . He said he would be doing a lot in terms of infrastructure to help other regions of the uk outside of london, but he was not very specific on those proposals and did not give any specific commitment to the hs2 project, for example. He spoke about the airline flybe, its importance for regional connectivity, but no specific offer of help. He was asked about how he would tackle the scourge about how he would tackle the scourge of country lines, drug dealing in many rural parts of the uk. He promised more Police Resources but said he was taking the issue seriously. We are putting 20,000 more police on the streets, i wa nt 20,000 more police on the streets, i want to see the county lines drugs gang wound up, rolled up. They are reducing the quality of life for people across our country. They are killing young kids, i want to see that totally wound up. And one final thought on what the Prime Minister said about january 31 thought on what the Prime Minister said aboutjanuary 31 and thought on what the Prime Minister said about january 31 and whether big bens bongs would be heard on the point of the uk departure from the point of the uk departure from the eu, but he said money might have to be raised by the public . The eu, but he said money might have to be raised by the public7m sounded like it, a really major issue from right on his doorstep, big ben being renovated, under scaffolding. He has been under pressure by many of his own mps to make sure that big ben chimes on january 31 on brexit day, if you are less keen on brexit you might think it is the bell tolling on britains relationship with europe. You can tell it will be controversial, he chose to emphasise the cost, perhaps £500,000, he said the clapper would have to be reintroduced but he seemed to hint that the bell could chime if the public behind it. The bongs cost. The bongs cost £500,000, because. Very costly bongs. But we are working up a plan so that people can bung a bob fora big ben bong, if they. Because there are some people who want to. Bung. I havent quite worked it out. I love the fact youre developing policy live on television. Because, as everybody knows, big ben is being refurbished, theyve taken. You see, they seem to have ta ken the clapper away. So we need to restore the clapper in order to bung a bob for a big ben bong big ben on brexit night. I dont know if you have had a chance to see much reaction to the interview, borisjohnson chance to see much reaction to the interview, Boris Johnson has chance to see much reaction to the interview, borisjohnson has done this interview with the bbc when riot to the vote he declined to be interviewed by andrew neil . He declined to be interviewed by andrew neil and he also was not keen to appear on the today programme on radio four, he gave this wide ranging interview to bbc brea kfast wide ranging interview to bbc breakfast and he was asked about whether he is behaving like a submarine going beneath the surface. His justification was that he believes in cabinet government, in other words he is more of a chairman and chief executive, he is putting other people up front. He came into criticism for that in the immediate aftermath of the iran crisis when the foreign secretary and the defence secretary, not him, were talking to the public and parliament. He said he is more like a submarine breaking through the ice. From his point of view he wa nted ice. From his point of view he wanted to set the agenda, choose his outlets, not be chasing, dare i say it on the news channel, the 24 hour news cycle. Lets see if i can hold, he has only been re elected for around a month. There are many challenges he will be facing, not least brexit and international issues. 0pponents will probably welcome his tone on around that perhaps raise questions otherwise he felt he should not be informed of this in advance, and what opposition politicians have been looking for when it comes to his promises for those voters who basically put a conservative in their seat for the First Time Since the war, since Winston Churchill occupied downing street, they will be saying, can you give us specific promises rather than simply warm words about getting infrastructure and investing in the Health Service . Thank you very much, ian watson in downing street. Some breaking news from around, arrests have been made over the downing of the ukrainian airliner shortly after take off from tehran, which iran has now admitted was caused by the firing of a missile, an filing of a missile, perhaps, but the iranians judiciary saying arrests have been made over that. Iransjudiciary saying arrests have been made over that. Irans judiciary saying the British Ambassador to iran should be declared persona non grata and expeued declared persona non grata and expelled from the country following his presence at what they call an illegal gathering in january 11. His presence at what they call an illegal gathering injanuary11. The ambassador has explained he went along to attend a vigil in memory of those killed on that airliner, in that airliner crash, and he left after about five minutes when it became clear that the vigil was turning into a protest. He was, of course, rested for a period. But iran has much judiciary course, rested for a period. But iran has muchjudiciary saying that despite what he has offered by way of explanation, the British Ambassador to iran should be declared persona non grata and expeued declared persona non grata and expelled during his presence at that gathering. A news agency, reigning use agency, has reported that the government of the Islamic Republic are the hosts but we as the judiciary and the Legal Community believe this person is an undesirable element and there is protocol in place for handling undesirable elements. Lets see what the responses from the government, but that news coming out of the round in the last few minutes. The Prime Minister says that the government will do what it can to help flybe but that it is not the governments role to Save Companies from collapse. The government is, however, considering cutting air Passenger Duty on all domestic flights as part of a possible plan to save the Regional Airline from collapse. Air Passenger Duty, or apd, is charged on all passenger flights from uk airports, excluding Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands and islands region. The amount paid depends on the destination and class of travel, but under current rules, standard class passengers on domestic and short haul flights pay £13 in apd for a single journey using a uk airport. For longer routes over 2,000 miles from london that charge goes up to £78. Changes to air Passenger Duty could reduce Government Income from the tax, which the office for budget responsibility says is expected to reach £3. 7 billion this financial year. Lets hear what borisjohnsons had to say about flybe when he spoke to dan walker on bbc breakfast earlier. Lets hear what the Prime Minister had to say. It is not for government to step in and Save Companies that simply run into trouble, but to be in no doubt that we see the importance of flybe in delivering connectivity across the whole united kingdom. It is very important where i was yesterday in Northern Ireland, for instance. I cant go into the commercial commercially confidential decisions. We are working hard to do what we can but obviously people will understand there are commercial limits to what a government can do to rescue any particular firm. But we will ensure that we have the regional connectivity that this country needs. Our business presenter Dominic Oconnell is here. It is interesting what the Prime Minister is saying, this regional connectivity which was part of the conservatives election promises, it is important for the government to be seen to follow through on that, yet there are some caveats, there is a limit to which the government and get involved in Something Like this . He did not want to prejudge what might happen in a meeting later today. At the government does not think it should get involved in baiting up private companies, but at the same time it needs to talk about improving the economy in the regions. If it was to go down the route of the giving or scrapping a Passenger Duty on domestic flights, it is quite a knotty problem. Lots of environment campaigners will say why are you reducing taxes on the shortest flights, they should be charged because there are other options to travel. When there are Carbon Neutral targets to be met . Yes, and how would you do it equitably across the industry . Would you give it to all Domestic Airlines orjust you give it to all Domestic Airlines or just flybe, you give it to all Domestic Airlines orjust flybe, which only apply to future payments or outstanding payments for apd that has already been collected by flybe, which is one suggestion. So if i have plate if one suggestion. So if i have plate if| one suggestion. So if i have plate if i have paid that, i want the money back because that is a duty they collected from me on behalf of they collected from me on behalf of the government. If the government was to go ahead with this, does that make any difference for the passenger . The airline wants that money, the government once that money, the government once that money, so money, the government once that money, so presumably the passenger is still paying . If it was for future tickets it would make it £ 13p cheaper one way for domestic flights. How does that help flybe . It flights. How does that help flybe . It would make it £13 cheaper. Flights. How does that help flybe . It would make it £13 cheaper. On routes like newquay to heathrow, where there is nowhere Passenger Duty, the people involved say it has made a big difference and it a tt ra cts made a big difference and it attracts people who might drive otherwise. It is the reduction in the ticket price which helps you get more people through the doors. It is not because you are getting the £13 taken off your turnover, it is just that it makes the upfront price cheaper. How big a difference. How much difference would that make more broadly to the economy in the south west, where flybe is . Broadly to the economy in the southwest, where flybe is . In cornwall, flybe is three quarters of the flights to newquay airport, it would make a huge difference. We have been speaking to their chairman and they said that if flybe was to disappear, it is wrong to think there are lots of other airlines waiting to fill in these routes. Newquay to heathrow will be ok, it is subsidised and it is a Public Service obligation routes. Is subsidised and it is a Public Service obligation routeslj is subsidised and it is a Public Service obligation routes. I have heard them described as thin routes, seasonal routes. They dont make much money and if you can reduce the ticket price it would make a difference, but there just are not many players with the right kinds of aircraft, so it is unlikely that most of those rides would survive flybe going under. Very interesting to hear all of that. Thank you very much. The Gambling Commission has announced a ban on credit card betting starting in april.
