Today's Focus Video Story: This is a last chance. That is the message US President Donald Trump has sent out after extending sanctions relief to Iran. He has aggressively warned European allies he would withdraw from the 2015 nuclear agreement altogether, if his demands to change it are not met. Trump has publicly branded the deal before and during his presidency as the 'worst ever'. Iran says his announcement is a 'desperate attempt to undermine a solid multilateral agreement' that is not 'renegotiable'. In the middle of all of this are European leaders who have essentially said to Trump: either back the deal or come up with a better one. But can this deal be re-negotiated?

Today's Focus Video Story: When Rafal Senk moved to the UK he found people more accepting of his sexuality than in his native Poland. However, his profound deafness meant he was unable to get the right support from councils and soon became homeless.

Focus of the Day Story: Less than 24 hours after the prime minister handed the justice brief to solicitor David Gauke as part of a cabinet reshuffle, the new lord chancellor says he has begun the process of making parole decisions more transparent. Gauke told MPs today that he agreed with his predecessor David Lidington's assessment that there is a 'strong case' to review transparency in making parole decisions and how victims are appropriately engaged. This follows widespread concern at the Parole Board's decision to release serial sex attacker John Worboys from prison. Full story: The Law Society Gazette
