| Trump threatens Iraq sanctions if US troops expelled |
| |
| | | Donald Trump has threatened Iraq with sanctions "like they've never seen before, ever", after its parliament voted for US troops to leave the country. Tensions are high following the killing of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in a US air strike in Baghdad last week. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has issued a call - along with France's Emmanuel Macron and Germany's Angela Merkel - for restraint. Mr Johnson will meet senior ministers later to discuss the escalating crisis in the Middle East. But he has said he will "not lament" the death of Soleimani, whom he blamed for playing a "leading role" in thousands losing their lives. Meanwhile, Iran has said it will not abide by any of the terms of the 2015 deal aimed at limiting its nuclear programme. Here are the details of that. | |

| | | | | "A guy like that doesn't deserve to be president," President George HW Bush told his sister about Bill Clinton. He viewed the young Arkansas governor as a scoundrel and felt confident he could roll over him. But to Bush's mystification, his saxophone-tootling challenger's popularity in opinion polls was even defying the gravity of revelations about his draft-dodging past. Bush had another problem - his campaign was as stale as the recession-sapped US economy. So he turned for inspiration across the Atlantic to his friend, UK Prime Minister John Major. | |
