Information is on the screen throughout the programme. Lets pick up on a story ijust mentioned. Donald trump has ordered a review of the iran nuclear deal. We already know what hit thinks of it. In one to eat he called it terrible and he has described it as that and many other terms multiple times. The us Secretary Of State Rex Tillerson has just been speaking in the last few minutes, we have had wire copy coming in from reuters, telling us he has said this. America opposes all threats posed by iran, and it is clear there are many. Barbara, you were listening to Rex Tillerson. What did you make of it . It was interesting, hes speaking off the back of a statement he put out yesterday in which he certified that out yesterday in which he certified that iran is keeping its commitment to the nuclear deal. He said yes, in that case the iran deal is working. What we heard was a litany of complaints about iran, that it posed a threat in the region, that it was backing militias there and that it has continued testing missile technology, violated Un Security Council resolutions, that it was a State Sponsor of terrorism, and so on and so forth. Then he said there would be a review of the nuclear deal, which he said only delayed iran becoming a nuclear power, did not end the possibility of it. And he said you could not look at the issue of the nuclear deal without looking at all of the other things as well, which is something the Obama Administration did, focusing narrowly on this one issue, which is how they were able to get the agreement. Rex tillerson saying this will not be the approach of the Trump Administration. They will look at all these other things they find troublesome through this review and come up with a response based on that. But he didnt suggest in which direction the Trump Administration would go, on specifics. Lets pick up would go, on specifics. Lets pick up on that a bit. Im listening to all of this and thinking, what is the plan here . The Trump Administration will know this Deal Isa Administration will know this deal is a multi natural deal, it is going to be in credibly hard to unpick, some say impossible. The americans could pull out of the deal but that would destroy it because there are five other world powers who signed on to it. What they could do instead is just on to it. What they could do instead isjust implement on to it. What they could do instead is just implement it very strictly to the letter, not giving the iranians any leeway at all, and some of the approach is being discussed are perhaps looking at the interpretations of the deal that would allow them to put as much pressure as possible on the revolutionary guards in particular, then alongside that, suggestions in congress for legislation that would impose new sanctions on iran, not because of its nuclear programme, separate from that, but because of all these other things that Rex Tillerson just spoke about, support for terrorism, Missile Tests and so on, which would also increase pressure on iran and perhaps ultimately have the same result in the end of scuppering the deal, especially if iran decides that the americans are not in compliance with the deal. Please stay with us, there is another story i want to talk to you about. This was donald trump a week ago. We are sending an armada, very powerful. We have submarines, very powerful. We have submarines, very powerful. We have submarines, very powerful. Far more powerful than the Aircraft Carrier, that i can tell you. The armada he mentions is a reference to a Us Strike Group led by the us Aircraft Carrier carl vinson. Heres a Press Release from the Us Navy Three days earlier. It announces that the strike group has been ordered to map sail has been ordered to sail north from singapore towards the korean peninsula. After that release, but before the president spoke, us secretary of Defensejim Mattis was asked about that order in a press conference. He replied, shesjust on her way up there because thats where we thought it was most prudent to have her at this time. When secretary mattis says at this time it was widely taken as reference to increasing tension with north korea. But that strike group didnt sail north. A week after the order was made, the warships were nowhere near north korea. In fact, they were sailing through the Sunda Straight. To the south. We know this the us Navy Released this photo of the carl vinson in the Sunda Straight on saturday. It says the warships did Training Exercises with the australian navy. And that now they are heading north. But barbara, bringing you back in here, that isnt what the president said. No it isnt, and there has been great confusion. When it was announced the strike carrier had been ordered to move north, they didnt announce that it would in gaugein didnt announce that it would in gauge in these exercises with the australians, but the president jumped onto the conclusion that this was going to happen imminently and that it was in response to tensions in the korean peninsular that were mounting ahead of the weekend, it was thought that the north koreans might have a possible nuclear test. By might have a possible nuclear test. By the end of the week, that was the white house line, that the strike group was being deployed as a show of force and signal of deterrence and so on and so forth, and then it became clear that it wasnt even within thousands of miles of the korean waters and would only have been able to get there next week anyway. There has been a remarkable disconnect. Its unclear why the pentagon and the navy did not step in to clarify earlier what the actual course and timing of the Strike Trajectory was. Lets just pull up Strike Trajectory was. Lets just pullupa Strike Trajectory was. Lets just pull up a couple of tweets on this story. The global times is a chinese newspaper, state run, saying it deals a blow to trumps presidency. If if it is a lie, we will not trust trump. Barbara, what is your assessment of the consequences of this issue . Officially in japan and south korea, and even from the Foreign Ministry in china, there has not been a response. Youve got the quotes you mentioned there and there have been jokes about it on social media in china, there has also been some Muscle Flexing in north korea, saying this is a rustbucket facing our revolutionary power etc. So it doesnt make americans look good. It could undermine their tougher approach, especially if that tougher approach, especially if that tougher approach and rhetoric is supposed to be backed up by a credible threat of military force. I think also alongside that it has been unsettling for us allies because they would want to know why is the president weighing one thing and his military forces doing and saying another . So that is also a big Question Mark as well, i think. Thank you very much, barbara, speak to you soon on outside source. While that story was escalating, american Vice President mike pence has been touring a different Aircraft Carrier that has docked at a Japanese Naval base. Rupert Wingfield Hayes was on board. The sight of the us Vice President on board a Nuclear Powered Aircraft Carrier is a very rare event even more so when its sitting in japan. Was this an elaborate piece of theatre, or a sign america is really preparing for action against north korea . We will defeat any attack and meet any use of conventional or Nuclear Weapons with an overwhelming and effective american response. Applause. The United States of america will always seek peace, but under President Trump, the shield stands guard and the sword stands ready. If President Trump is planning some sort of Military Action against north korea, there is no sign of it here. This is the uss ronald reagan, the flagship of the seventh fleet, but it wont be ready to leave this port in japan for at least another month. Figuring out what the jump administration is planning for north korea is not easy, perhaps deliberately so. The Trump Administration. Rupert Wingfield Hayes, bbc news, at the Yokosuka Naval base injapan. Lets bring you some of the main Sports Stories of the day. We begin in america.

As we said, his fiancees sister, a person who was dating his fiancees sister, who of course in that time, he was also a former friend of his, who had committed the crime.

The squad for the British And Irish Lions has been announced. They have the hardest of rugby assignments. First they must fashion a team very quickly out of players who normally play for their respective countries. And second they must try and beat the all blacks in new zealand. Here is what their coach Warren Gatland said earlier. |j here is what their coach Warren Gatland said earlier. I dont think we should get on the plane unless we think we have a chance of beating the all blacks. One of the challenges is that you try to play against the all blacks and they are human and capable of making mistakes, they have frailties and you but them under pressure. The pleasing thing is that a lot of those players can believe it now because they saw some of those frailties when ireland beat the all blacks in chicago. On the bbc sport website you can get the full squad and plenty of analysis from my collea g u es and plenty of analysis from my colleagues too. One last bit of sports news Serena Williams appeared to announce on social media that shes pregnant. She posted this picture of herself on snapchat, posing in a mirror with the message 20 weeks, before deleting the post.

Prince harry opened the London Marathon expo today, his first public appearance since he spoke out about coming to terms with his mothers death, earlier this week. Peter hunt reports. Harry and his little helper melissa, getting the London Marathon preparations underway. Its a race which, this year, has a special focus on a princely passion Mental Health. Prince harry has attracted widespread praise this week for his honesty when he spoke of the anguish and the anxiety he suffered for years after his mothers death. It was only right to share my experiences and to help, to hope to encourage others to come forward, and sort of reduce or smash that stigma. To make it easier for them to talk about their own experiences. So, i wasjust doing my bit. And was it liberating . Ummm. Or scary . No, i mean, look when youve heard so many stories from so many other people, and if you can relate to that, then its only right that you talk about your own experiences. But all the experts youve met will have told you one of the key issues is funding, and that there isnt enough money in some places . What are you going to do about that . Thats not for, as you probably know, thats not our mission. Our mission is to remove the stigma of Mental Health so that we can provide a platform for people to be able to discuss it. But the risk is you could be encouraging people to Seek Services that arent there. No, and thats something that weve been completely aware of over the last year, but the fact and the reality is that, as i said, the appetite is there. Once the appetite is there, things will change. Im confident of that. Its not my position and its not our position or ourjob, to do that. We are nonpolitical. So we will do everything that we can to encourage the conversation, remove the stigma, so that Everything Else then can take place. Opening up about the past is a brotherly trait.
