Trump warns Iran 'time is running out' for nuclear deal

Outside Source

Expires on Friday 6:00pm

President Trump has said time is running out for Iran to negotiate a deal on nuclear weapons. If it fails to do so, he has warned his next attack on the regime would be ''far worse'' than the strikes last June. Meanwhile, the full extent of casualties in Iran following the government’s violent crackdown on protesters remains unknown, but the BBC has spoken to several young Iranians who described what they saw. We hear from some of them and bring more details from the BBC investigation. The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, has made a robust defence of the Trump administration's Venezuela policy, weeks after US special forces seized President Nicolas Maduro. Our Washington correspondent has more details. President Trump has accused the mayor of Minneapolis of "playing with fire". In a post, Jacob Frey said the city "does not and will not enforce federal immigration laws". We hear from a resident outside Minneapolis who supports the ICE operations. We also hear the experiences of migrants living in Minneapolis about how the situation has affected them.
