President Obama speaks of historic progress with Iran,

as sanctions over its nuclear programme are lifted.

He calls on Iranians to build new ties with the West,

and calls the deal a victory for diplomacy.

The bottom line is this, whereas Iran was steadily

expanding its nuclear programme, we have no cut off every single path

And the big chill bring a day in the snow for much of Britain.

President Obama has called the implementation of the nuclear

deal with Iran a victory for "smart diplomacy" and calls on Iranians

to make the most of a new relationship with the West.

He was speaking as economic sanctions lifted economic sanctions

on Iran were lifted, and a prisoner exchange enabled

the release of five Americans held there.

But he said America would remain vigilant.

Today new US sanctions were imposed in response to an Iranian

Let's join our diplomatic correspondent Bridget Kendall.

Tonight we understand that three of those Americans who are being held

prisoner in Iran have arrived here at this US military base near

Frankfurt in Germany, which you can see behind me. It has turned out

that this prisoner swap between the United States and Iran was bound up

in the behind the scenes negotiations which led to

yesterday's game changing deal, to lift nuclear sanctions on Iran. But

what is also merged today, is that the tensions between Iran and the

west are by no means over yet. There is plenty of wariness.

24 hours after the historic deal, the two key Presidents, American and

Iranian have been digesting the significance.

In Washington, the first direct response from President Obama. This

is a good day. Sanctions have been lifted, but the key he argued is

that Iran no longer poses a nuclear threat. If Iran tries the cheat and

they try to built a bomb covertly we will catch them. Whereas Iran was

steadily expanding his nuclear programme, we have cut off every

single path that Iran could have used to build a bomb.

But there is a twist. The US slapped on fresh sanctions today, to punish

Iran not for nuclear activities, but for illegally testing a ballistic

missile last year. Clearly, the Americans held off till yesterday's

deal was in the bag. Also a consideration, to secure the

release of several Iranian-Americans, being held in

Iranian jails. Today, they flew out of Tehran and

after a brief stop in Geneva were brought on the a US military base in

Germany. Among them newspaper correspondent

Jason Rezaian. His colleagues in Washington had campaigned for months

for his release. For Jason. Now, they have been

celebrating. This is where the men who are being

held in Iran have been brought, to the US ram Stein air base in

Germany. Not far from Frankfurt. Here they will have their medical

condition assessed and it a chance for them to meet with Tam who have

moan in from America. This diplomatic breakthrough with Iran

isn't just a political triumph, for several Iranian-American families it

is a very personal good news story. Meanwhile in Tehran the Iranian

Government has been weighing up what has happened. In Parliament

President Hassan Rouhani greeted his Foreign Minister. It is true that

the Zionists and the hard liners inside America campaign against this

deal. But we all know that the world has realised that sanctions are not

a good solution. Though he did add that any new

measure imposed by the Americans would receive an appropriate

response. But on the streets of Tehran today,

the mood was quietly jubilant. Newspaper headlines spoke of a great

agreement, and a new era for Iran, and the end of an economic blockade.

And reengagement is what both President, Iranian and American hope

will in time dispel the habit of suspicion.

The nuclear deal paves the way for exports of Iranian oil

to resume, but stock markets in the Gulf fell today amid fears

that that extra supply will deepen the plunge in the price of oil.

That's just what its critics are worried about.

The BBC has learnt that Wimbledon championship matches have been

investigated over suspicions of match fixing.

Documents obtained by the BBC and the website Buzzfeed News

describe "strong evidence" linking betting syndicates to players,

but they were not pursued by tennis' anti-corruption body.

There've also been concerns over the last decade about as many as 16

players, including winners of Grand Slam titles.

Simon Cox has this exclusive report.

Tennis is a big deal for the gambling industry.

insiders, including the investigation carried out

They identify a series of betting syndicates linked to players.

A Russian group who bet on five suspicious matches

A north Italian group placed bets on 28 matches and won over ?650,000.

A Sicilian syndicate who bet on 12 game, including three matches

This syndicate targeted Wimbledon more than any other Grand Slam.

The documents we have obtained also show that the former top 50 player

Martin Vassallo Arguello had exchanged 82 texts with a Sicilian

Investigators retrieved parts of them.

In the morning the gambler texts him:

Arguello responds he doesn't want to do it.

Before the game, he texts the gambler again:

The gambler's syndicate went on to win over ?250,000

We put this to Martin Arguello, but he declined to comment.

We have learned there have been repeated alerts about 16 top level

players involved in suspicious matches, sent to tennis's integrity

And some of those players will be on court this week,

One of the architects of tennis's integrity unit is critical

of the way the sport has tackled match fixing.

There is an element of keeping things under wraps.

Nobody likes to air their dirty washing in public.

If they were serious about dealing with this,

then they really need to create an integrity unite with teeth.

Tennis will be centre stage when the Australian Open starts tomorrow.

In order to keep people playing and watching,

the sport must prove it is doing all it can to protect the game.

American officials in Baghdad have confirmed that three US citizens

have been abduct in the the Iraqi capital. Let us join our

correspondent who is there tonight. What more do you know? Well, we

don't know a lot it has to be said, but reports are circulating that

these three Americans plus their Iraqi translator were abducted

probably in one of the southern suburbs of Baghdad. We don't foe who

the kidnapped people are, whether they are all men or whatever, there

are some reports sick lating there may be contractors, nor do we know

who they, who they have been abducted by. There are some reports

quoting Iraqi security officials saying they may have been take by

men posing as militia men or wearing uniform, which could be a good sign

or a bad sign, because often people dress up in uniforms to put people

off their scent. So it doesn't necessarily mean much. What the

authorities will be hoping in a way, is that this may be Shia militias

rather than Sunni militants, because if they were in the hands of Sunni

militants that would be very serious indeed. Shia militias it is much

more negotiable and possibly less serious. It's a blow to hopes for

Iraqi stability in the current situation, coming off a big attack

on a mall here in Baghdad a few days ago.
