The White House made the announcement on Wednesday night, and Iran's foreign minister confirmed his side too had signed the document. Iran latest: Trump admits war risked 'economic catastrophe' It was done digitally, with Mr Trump providing his signature from France, where he's been for the G7 summit. It's not clear whether a signing ceremony planned in Switzerland this Friday is still going ahead. So what has been agreed between the US president's negotiating team and Iran? Here are the 14 points of the "memorandum of understanding": 1. The first paragraph refers to the "immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon", which Israel, conducting operations against Iran-backed Hezbollah, has partially occupied and has continued to strike. 2. In this point, the US and Iran agree to "respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to refrain from interfering in each other's internal affairs". 3. This point states that the two countries will "commit to negotiating and achieving the final deal in (a) maximum 60 days, extendable with mutual consent". 4. The fourth paragraph states that, following the signing of the MOU, the US will begin the removal of its naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, fully ending it within 30 days. The US will also agree to remove its forces from the "proximity" of Iran within 30 days of a final deal. An unnamed senior US official has stated that their "force posture" in the region will return to its pre-conflict level. 5. Iran, in this paragraph, pledges to allow the safe passage of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, which needs to be de-mined, with "no charge". The US official added that the Gulf states will work towards a "broader agreement" on free passage through the strait. 6. The US, in the sixth point, undertakes to "develop a definitive, mutually agreed plan with at least $300bn (£225bn) for the reconstruction and economic development" of Iran, though the US official stressed that no American money would go to the Islamic Republic. 7. In the seventh point, the US pledges to stop all sanctions against Iran, including United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions, when a final deal is agreed. It states that the two countries "acknowledge the critical importance of the sanctions termination". Read more:Trump's gone rogue and left Netanyahu horrendous choice 8. Crucially, Iran "reaffirms that it shall not procure or develop nuclear weapons" in point eight. It also agrees to dispose of its stockpile of enriched uranium through a "mutually-agreed" mechanism under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency. This was described by the US official as a "major, major win" for the country. 9. This point states that the two countries will "maintain the status quo" pending a final deal with regard to Iran's nuclear programme and posture of the US, which would not deploy any further military resources in the region. 10. The US, according to point 10, will "issue waivers for the export of Iranian crude oil, petroleum products, and derivatives, and all associated services, including banking transactions, insurances, transportation". 11. The US, according to this paragraph, will unfreeze some funds and assets of the Islamic Republic upon the successful implementation of the MOU. 12. In this point, the two countries agree to establish a "mechanism" to "monitor the successful implementation... and future compliance" of the MOU. 13. The US and Iran pledge to "start negotiations regarding the final deal exclusively on the other paragraphs" upon signing the MOU. 14. And the last point states that the "final deal will be endorsed by a binding UNSC resolution".

Director-general Matt Brittin, who took up the role in May, told employees on Wednesday that £160m of staff and non-staff cost savings would be made from across BBC News and TV and radio teams by the end of the financial year. More savings across all areas will be set out in the coming months, with 700 corporate roles also expected to go and senior leader roles to be reduced by at least 10%, he added. In a follow-up message from Jonathan Munro, the interim chief executive of BBC News and Current Affairs, staff were told details of cuts and changes to specific shows, and that a review of chief presenter roles would also be carried out. These cuts are the first to be announced as part of a huge savings plan announced in April, with up to 2,000 jobs to go in total - the corporation's biggest downsizing in almost 15 years. In his memo, Mr Munro told staff: "Our news presenters have a unique relationship with our audiences. However, given the savings we need to make across the whole of BBC News, we are carrying out a review of our chief presenter roles. "This is designed to ensure we have the right number of presenters, deployed as flexibly and efficiently as possible, to balance audience needs with best value for money." On-air editor roles are also being reviewed and a proposal has been made to close dedicated social presenter roles. In one positive for Newsnight, Mr Munro said it would move to a peak-time slot on Fridays, "building on the success of its refreshed format". 'A doubly difficult time for everyone' The scale of savings needed "requires tough choices" and all divisions "will be making significant savings", Mr Brittin said in his internal note to staff. Overall, the plan is to cut commissioning spend across the Content, News and Nations departments by about £80 million in the year 2027-28. Broadcast TV channels and the radio network portfolio would be reviewed "as audiences move online", Mr Brittin said, and steps will also be taken to "reduce duplication, clarify accountability, and increase the speed of decision making". "We live in very uncertain times," the BBC boss added. "Our audiences rely on us every day to keep them informed, entertained and equipped to make sense of the world. Making savings while fulfilling our mission means a doubly difficult time for everyone." 'Death by a thousand cuts' Philippa Childs, head of media and entertainment union Bectu, responded to the announcement by saying the cuts were "far from ideal" taking place at the same time as the BBC's charter renewal - and that they would affect the broadcaster's ability to deliver its public service mission. "In an era of fake news and an industry that is becoming more concentrated in the hands of a few multinational corporations, the UK needs a confident, ambitious and sustainably-funded BBC more than ever," she said. "The charter renewal must put the BBC's funding on a secure, long-term pathway or it risks death by a thousand cuts."

Cathy Sweet, head of TV and film at entertainment and performing arts trade union Equity, described the cuts as "devastating" and said they risked the BBC becoming "unable to live up to its aim to inform, educate and entertain". Mr Brittin, a former Google executive, replaced Tim Davie as director-general in last month. Mr Davie announced his resignation from the corporation in November last year, amid controversy and a $10bn (about $7.5bn) lawsuit over the editing of a BBC documentary about Donald Trump.

Attorney General Lord Richard Hermer, a close ally of the prime minister, will say Labour are now "cleaning up" the "mess" left by politicians who campaigned for Leave. Politics Hub: Follow the latest His speech at an event held by the European Movement advocacy group comes ahead of the 10th anniversary of the referendum next Tuesday. Sir Keir Starmer's government is seeking closer ties with the EU, and he is holding talks with key European leaders in France this week as part of the G7 summit. A second EU-UK summit since Labour came to power is scheduled to take place in Brussels on 22 July, where a youth mobility scheme is set to be agreed. The divisive issue of the UK's relationship with the bloc has been brought back into the limelight in recent weeks, with prospective Labour leadership hopeful Wes Streeting describing Brexit as a "catastrophic mistake". The PM and chancellor, Rachel Reeves, have both suggested it had a negative impact on the economy but have promised they will not go back on their manifesto promises not to rejoin the single market or the customs union. Lord Hermer will repeat the argument that Brexit has damaged the UK economy in his speech later. 'Farage knows Brexit has damaged Britain' "Strikingly, the politicians who were key proponents of Brexit and major figures in the campaign to Leave now appear reluctant to remind us of the promises that they made," he will say. "When was the last time you heard Nigel Farage proudly talk about Brexit? Or make the case for the benefits it's brought Britain? "The reason he has become uncharacteristically quiet about what he used to describe as his crowning achievement is because he knows the damage it caused Britain, our standing in the world, and our economy." Expert analysis from Sky News:Trump's left Netanyahu with a horrendous choiceWhy Ukraine could have fresh hope of US support Mr Farage has previously said Brexit "has failed" but blamed it on the then-Conservative government for "mismanaging" Britain's departure. He has criticised Labour's attempts to get closer to the EU, notably an agreement with France designed to combat small boat crossings. The Tories have dismissed Lord Hermer's criticism, saying he "should focus on his job as attorney general".

Thomas Tuchel's side scored twice in each half to get their in Group L campaign off to an impressive start. Who caught the eye and whose place is maybe under threat going forward in the tournament? As it happened | Teams | Stats | Group L guideWorld Cup day-by-day schedule | Latest: World CupFollow our World Cup coverage in the Sky Sports AppGroup L guide | England's routes to World Cup finalWorld Cup 2026 fixture schedule and UK kick-off times Jordan Pickford - 7 Got a hand to Baturina's first equaliser, but the power of the strike was too much for the 'keeper, while he was helpless to prevent Musa from levelling again just before the break. Important stop to keep out Pasalic's drive with a quarter of an hour to go when England led 3-2. Reece James - 7 Linked up dangerously down the right with Madueke in the first half, but could have been tighter on Perisic for Croatia's second goal on the stroke of half-time. Was then moved into midfield when Spence was brought on. John Stones - 6 Mix-up with Pickford led to early Croatia corner and out of position for Croatia's first goal, but overall a composed display at the back before being replaced late on by Guehi. Ezri Konsa - 6 Lost Perisic for Croatia's second goal just before the break and there will be questions about an England back line that conceded two first-half goals. Could be replaced by Guehi for the second Group L game with Ghana. Nico O'Reilly - 6 Wayward first-half ball put his skipper in trouble, before being turned for Croatia's first equaliser. Spurned a glorious chance to head his side 4-2 ahead at start of second half, before seeing a close-range header clawed away by Livakovic. Elliot Anderson - 8 Put in a series of biting challenges on his World Cup debut and was key to England's press. Lovely pass to release Bellingham for his side's third to start the second half to cap off an eye-catching 23-pass move and will be a key presence in front of the back four if England are to go deep in the tournament. Declan Rice - 7 Consistently dangerous outswinging delivery from corners, including for Kane's second goal. Unlucky not to score with a curling effort at start of second half, before surprisingly being hooked with 18 minutes to go as an injury precaution. Noni Madueke - 8 Positive run to the byline created England's first effort on goal for Kane in what was a sign of things to come in the first half from the Arsenal flyer, before being felled for the early penalty. Hugely impressive attacking display down the right which will give Tuchel a selection headache going forward in the tournament when Saka returns to full fitness after an Achilles injury. Jude Bellingham - 7 Important challenge in the box on Musa to help preserve England's early lead, before losing the ball in the lead-up to Croatia's first goal. Brilliant solo effort to restore his side's advantage again just after half-time, before almost immediately adding a second from long range as the Real Madrid playmaker grew into the contest. Anthony Gordon - 6 Quiet display on the left wing from the new Barcelona flyer, who got the nod to start ahead of Rashford, but only because England largely favoured attacking down their right flank. Close to heading his side 4-2 ahead with a close-range effort, before making way for the Manchester United forward after 72 minutes. Harry Kane - 9 A man-of-the-match performance from the England captain, who kept his cool from the spot after seeing his initial penalty saved by Livakovic to give his side an early lead. The striker then headed in his 81st Three Lions goal to move level with Gary Lineker on 10 goals as his country's top World Cup scorer and the 32-year-old was even there at the end to make a goal-saving block with his midriff to prevent a certain Gvardiol goal. Substitutes Morgan Rogers - 6 Introduced with 18 minutes remaining but made little impact. Bukayo Saka - 7 Played a key role by setting up Rashford for England's late fourth after replacing Madueke on 72 minutes. Marcus Rashford - 7 Close to adding a fourth just moments after coming on with Rogers and Saka, only to be denied by Livakovic, before showing great composure to add his side's final goal with just five minutes left to play, the forward's 19th for his country. Djed Spence - 7 Could and should have scored his first England goal after entering the fray with 10 minutes to go, but faced with just the onrushing Livakovic to beat, the Spurs defender shot straight at the Croatia goalkeeper. Marc Guehi - 6 Late 87th-minute introduction in place of club-mate Stones and could start in England's second group game with Ghana.

The meandering and staggeringly contradictory news conference, and the trumpeting of a "deal" that amounts to something so far short of that. Read more: What's in the US-Iran agreement? And then, just as the day ended, we were told that Trump had signed the "deal" – which added to the bewilderment. Because an "administration official" (you can guess who) told us on Monday that Trump had signed the "deal" on Sunday (remotely – with the autopen he's spent every week bashing Biden about?). This is what we were told on a background call on Monday: "So, first of all, we have now signed some understanding with Iran; the president and I both signed it, Speaker Ghalibaf on the other side signed it, and the memorandum provides a few basic things…." So the deal which was signed on Sunday was signed again in Versailles on Wednesday and is still due to be signed in person by the vice president on Friday. There has been a breathtaking level of lopsided diplomacy. It's been truly bewildering. My favourite part has been how adeptly subtle the rest of the G7 leaders' eye-rolling has been. There's been some real diplomatic skill there. Read more expert analysis from Sky News:Iran deal is an admission of defeat by TrumpRogue Trump's left Netanyahu a horrendous choice The other leaders can't criticise. They know the wrath that will hit them. But we know that they know it's been a disastrous shambles. It's truly a shame and a stain on America. Often it takes a while for the dust to settle on mad war choices. Not this time. We knew before this war began. So many school children died in Minab. For what? Trump couldn't even admit that the strike was America's mistake (it was, by the way – sources have told me that, but their political masters haven't the guts to admit it yet). This Iran war has been a tragic and expensive waste of time that neither limits Iran's malign influence nor makes America great again.

The former Top Gear presenter shared the revelation in the final episodes of the fifth series of Clarkson's Farm, which premiered overnight on Amazon Prime Video. The show documents the trials of farming on his land in Oxfordshire. He had warned fans on Instagram that the latest episodes would be a "difficult watch". "They're really, really difficult," he said in a video posted on Tuesday evening. Clarkson is seen revealing the news in the show to co-stars Charlie Ireland and Kaleb Cooper, saying he's known since May. The 66-year-old describes the disease as "aggressive" but says it's at a "really early stage". "I've got cancer," Clarkson tells farm manager Kaleb and land agent Charlie during discussions about harvest planning. The TV host says he expects to be "fine" but will be out of action "for a while", before revealing in the final episode of the series that he has undergone an operation to remove part of his prostate. He says: "I won't know whether it's worked or not until November probably. The prostate, 10% of it's dead, the 10% where the cancer is." The programme later cuts to Clarkson in hospital, where he says "some of the treatment has gone awry". "I'm going to be here for a little while," he says. "I don't know what's going to happen." He adds: "We started season five with me in a hospital bed and here we are at the end of season five and I'm back in a hospital bed. "If this is all successful, I'll see you for season six. And if it isn't, I won't. Take care, everyone." Read more from Sky News:PM to face leadership challengeTrump leaves Netanyahu 'choice' In an earlier Instagram post to fans, Clarkson wrote: "Sombre news - Clarkson's Farm, ordinarily we try to keep the show bucolic and charming, and cheerful, but two episodes which drop in the middle of the night tonight are, they're none of those things, really." The news of Clarkson's cancer diagnosis comes two years after he underwent a heart procedure after suffering a "sudden deterioration" in his health. He told The Sunday Times doctors believed he was potentially "days away" from becoming very ill. "It seems that of the arteries feeding my heart with nourishing blood, one was completely blocked and the second of three was heading that way," he said. Clarkson later told The Sun he had been warned by medics that "a lot" of the work he does "will have to go" - and he must "cut my alarmingly high levels of cholesterol". Charity thanks Clarkson Prostate Cancer UK thanked Clarkson for sharing his diagnosis and treatment, saying it would raise "vital awareness". Chiara De Biase, the charity's fundraising and health strategy director, said: "Thankfully he found the disease at an early stage, but sadly this is still not the experience of many men across the UK." In a statement, she added that thousands of men every year "are diagnosed too late for a cure," but the Transform screening trial will "generate the vital evidence to ensure those at highest risk are diagnosed earlier". She said those worried about prostate cancer can access the charity's online risk checker or ask their GP for a blood test. Diddly Squat becomes a hit Clarkson is best known for presenting the BBC's Top Gear and then fronting another car show, The Grand Tour, on Amazon's streaming service, before also taking the helm of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Clarkson's Farm debuted in 2021. He has since become one of the most vocal critics of the government's inheritance tax plans for some farmers. It follows the presenter and his crew as they navigate the challenges of running Diddly Squat Farm near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire. Since running the farm in 2019 and launching his reality series, Clarkson has become a vocal supporter of farmers and attended a protest in London against the Government's move to introduce inheritance tax on farmland in November 2024.

The prime minister announced on Monday that the new restrictions would come into force early next year to protect the "happiness of our children". Speaking on the Electoral Dysfunction podcast, Ms Phillips said the move would have kept her in government. "This would've been enough to keep me in the tent," Ms Phillips said. "Not only would it have been enough to keep me in the tent. I told them that. I was explicit about that. "I spoke to various different people in Number 10 and really tried to push them to say, look, look, go for this. This is a bold move. This is bold and it is big and it is brave and it's the right thing to do." You can listen to the full conversation on the Sky News Insider edition of Electoral Dysfunction. Subscribers to Sky News Insider will be able to enjoy ad-free access, bonus episodes and early releases. (Requires paid subscription. UK only. 18+). Ms Phillips stepped down as safeguarding minister last month following Labour's dismal local election results, accusing Sir Keir of lacking the "drive to get anything done". She also said restrictions on social media use should not "stop at kids". "I don't think the algorithm should exist. Full stop," she said. From next spring, under-16s will be banned from using all the main social media sites, including Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, Facebook, and X - although messaging apps like WhatsApp won't be banned, and neither will educational sites like YouTube Kids. Ministers are also looking at an overnight social media curfew for 16 and 17-year-olds, as well as banning infinite scrolling. Starmer wants a 'legacy' Ms Phillips also said Sir Keir had announced a ban "almost certainly" because he wanted to leave a "legacy". She continued: "Men love [a] legacy, don't they? "I cant give a toss about how I'm remembered, but here we are. But like, it was definitely the language we used to use to try and get things over the line. Like, this would be an amazing legacy."

Ten minutes of football that could shape England's World Cup? That is how the start of the second half felt as Thomas Tuchel's England team announced themselves. "The team that we wanted to be was shown in the second half," said Jude Bellingham afterwards. Bellingham's 47th-minute goal began the onslaught that restored England's lead in their 4-2 win over Croatia. But Dominik Livakovic, the Croatia goalkeeper, made seven further saves in the dozen minutes that followed just to keep his side in it. All to no avail. As it happened | Teams | Stats | Group L guideWorld Cup day-by-day schedule | Latest: World CupFollow our World Cup coverage in the Sky Sports App It was carnage, really. There was a triple save to keep out Nico O'Reilly, Anthony Gordon and Ezri Konsa before a double stop from Harry Kane. All that came in just 85 seconds. For context, most teams at this World Cup have not had five shots on target in total. In all, when O'Reilly's header that went wide was included, it was nine shots in 12 minutes. Eleven shots on target in the match, bettered only by Germany against Curacao so far. But this was Croatia. Second at the World Cup in 2018. Third in 2022. Utterly overwhelmed. There were shaky moments too, defensive concerns that will need to be addressed if England are to achieve their dreams this summer. There was a tentativeness to their first-half display. But the response suggests Thomas Tuchel knows just what is needed. His assistant Anthony Barry made that explicit in a surprisingly open interview with ITV at half-time. He talked of it being confused, of "fearful patterns" in their play and a "nervous energy" that had inhibited England. We have all seen that at major tournaments. What we have seen less of is the football that left Croatia in disarray immediately afterwards. "We saw that in the way we came out in the second half. We went full gas and they could not live with it," said Kane. That it worked should encourage this England team. Other teams have scored four goals and more already at this tournament. But those have been bagged against Paraguay and Curacao, Tunisia and Iraq. Doing it against Croatia is different and the intensity with which England played would worry anyone. Can they maintain that? Can they use it as a template, maybe even a turning point? There will be challenges in delivering that intensity. Undoubtedly, it will have helped that the stadium in Dallas was air-conditioned, the game played at optimum temperatures. In the heat of the day, it will be difficult. Against teams that can withstand England's pressing and their physicality rather better than the ageing Luka Modric, that high-tempo game might not be quite so effective. The power-plays may have to come in bursts. But the fact that England appear capable of it is massive. Crucially, Kane looks sharp. He scored the first two goals, a penalty and a header, and had seven shots in total. Tellingly, he was still tracking back to make tackles in stoppage-time, a clear indication that his fitness levels are where they need to be right now. Two summers ago, Kane endured a difficult tournament for England at Euro 2024. That campaign culminated in him being hooked for Ollie Watkins after an hour of the final, forced to watch from the bench as Gareth Southgate's reign played out against Spain. "Physically, it has been a tough period for Harry," explained Southgate afterwards. "He came in short of games and did not quite get up to the level we had all hope. We felt Ollie's freshness would allow us to press a bit better and offer us a threat in behind." There is no doubt that this England system suits Kane better now. In the insipid showing against Slovakia, Kane had Phil Foden out of position on the wing. But the striker-cum-playmaker always looks more comfortable when he can drop deep and ping passes. Noni Madueke provided that outlet, receiving twice as many of Kane's passes as anyone else, including a beauty after a quarter of an hour. With Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka making an impact off the bench, there is the potential to rotate the wing options. But the key figures for England at this World Cup are obvious. "Jude Bellingham is the top player," said Neville. "He and Kane in attack are the difference." The job of the manager is to build a team that gets the best from them. Tuchel might be able to do it. And his half-time words in Dallas might just have persuaded his players that he has the answers too. Asked what was said in the dressing room during that break, Declan Rice said: "It was one of those moments when you are like, 'wow, what a great manager'." A long way to go, of course. But if England are to do something special at this World Cup then when the stories of that success are told, pivotal moments will be picked out. Half-time against Croatia and the performance that followed already feels like one of them.
