00 This is BBC World News Today. Iran gets a boost from an Arab | :00:09. | :00:16. | |
neighbour in the gulf, just a day after an interim deal is signed | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
between and world powers. The Tom of Sheikh Mohammed Bin | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Rashid Al Maktoum says it underscores the need for diplomacy | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
with Iran and says doesn't believe they are building a nuclear bomb. We | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
have an exclusive interview where he says sanctions against Iran should | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
be lifted. Nuclear is a threat for me, if but if they are not, should | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
we lift it slowly and firmly. Peace at last for Jasmine Shariff, but his | :00:45. | :00:54. | |
legacy is still alive -- Ariel Sharon, he's buried. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
France's First Lady is suffering from a severe case of the blues, | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
after revelations of President Hollande's affair. She may be there | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
for some days to come. Want to know the secret to happy | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
marriage, one answer is don't have children. We talk to the coauthor of | :01:12. | :01:32. | |
a new report of how couples can make love last. | :01:33. | :01:40. | |
The ruler of Dubai, one of the seven emirates that make up the UAE has | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
made comments in an exclusive interview with the BBC, coming day | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
after Iran signed an interim agreement with the permanent members | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
of the Security Council and Germany, known as the P five plus one. The | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
deal which lasts six months, takes effect on the 20th of January. It | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
means Iran will have to implement significant constraints on its | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
nuclear programme and allow inspectors daily access to its | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
enrichment facilities. In return Tehran will receive more than $4 | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
billion in cash from frozen assets and the relaxation of a limited | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
number of sanctions. The Iranian Foreign Minister spoke to the BBC | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
about the deal. I believe that the agreement that we reached in Geneva | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
is the beginning of a long and difficult road in order to address | :02:37. | :02:46. | |
this issue and in the process create a bit of confidence, particularly in | :02:47. | :02:58. | |
Iran because there is a very serious issue with the west in Iran, our | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
people believe our peaceful nuclear programme has been dealt with in a | :03:03. | :03:11. | |
totally unfounded way. That was Iran's Foreign Minister. Well one | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
regional voice, backing the lifting of sanctions against Iran, as we | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
said, is the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. He | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
rarely gives interviews, but with Dubai hosting Expo 2020, and signs | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
its economy is rebounding strongly after the global financial crisis he | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
spoke exclusively to my colleague. Very nice to meet you, thank you | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
very much indeed for seeing us. Welcome to Dubai. This is Dubai as | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
you probably don't imagine it, but it is where it all started. Because | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
this is where Sheikh Mohammed was born and grew up. No electricity in | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
the city when I was born, only this lamp things. And no water. We then | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
went inside and he showed me the family album. This is also my | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
grandfather. And that's my grandfather. | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
And this is Dubai as you probably do know it. Brash, bright, big. Sheikh | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
Mohammed drove me himself out of the city to his desert hideaway, where | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
he spoke about the state of the world. Progress has been made in the | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
talks about giving access to Iran's nuclear facilities. Do you believe | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
the time is now right to lift sanctions against Iran? I think so, | :04:27. | :04:36. | |
to give Iran space, you know, really if Iran is our neighbour and we | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
don't want any problems and they don't have any problems, but if the | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
peace, you know, and the agreement with the Americans and the Americans | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
agree and lift the sanctions, everybody will benefit. With Ariel | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
Sharon being buried today, he looked forward to the benefits of a peace | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
deal between Israelis and Palestinians and what it would | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
bring. After the peace process we will do everything with Israel, we | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
will trade with them and we will welcome them and everything. But | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
sign the peace process. Shakespeare mum is proud of his Bedouin roots | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
and he loves these hunting birds. He has an eye on keeping Dubai as an | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
economic powerhouse, after its flirtation with danger during the | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
economic downturn. As we reported earlier the Iranian | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
Foreign Minister was speaking at a press conference in Beirut, our | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
correspondent was there. You actually put a question to the | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
Foreign Minister. He's very, very keen on the back of this interim | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
deal signed at the weekend to ensure those sanctions are lifted. No doubt | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
he would welcome strongly those comments from Sheikh Mohammed? I | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
think he would. In fact he has been to Dubai and he has quite a good | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
relationship there, knows the people in Dubai especially are just waiting | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
for the starting signal to go to resume trading on a big scale. They | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
have a huge interest. There are many Iranians living in Dubai or people | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
of Iranian stock, there is a huge amount of traffic normally between | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
Dubai and especially the offshore duty-free islands on the Iranian | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
side of the gulf. So I mean there is a huge interest there in having this | :06:24. | :06:31. | |
abnormal situation lifted. So Sheikh Mohammed was absolutely clear that | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
he would very much like to see it lifted and it is a kind of rather | :06:35. | :06:43. | |
ano mam Luis situation, where -- anomolus situation. Although the | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
Gulf states act as one, they have very different agendas, Dubai would | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
like to move very swiftly on restoring proper relations with | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
Iran, the Saudis and perhaps others like Qatar, who are much more | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
dedicated to the downfall of Bashar Al-Assad in Syria, of course Iran is | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
very much involved with him. They have got quite a different kind of | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
song sheet that they are singing from. So the difference is, at the | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
end of the day, they kind of pull together but they have distinctly | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
different orientations. Precisely because of that do you suppose there | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
might be any fall-out for Sheikh Mohammed, given the comments are | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
being seized on now? I doubt it very much, I don't think we are going to | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
see Saudi tanks rumbling into Dubai or anything like that. I think these | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
things are sorted out behind closed doors. Because the nuclear agreement | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
seems to be well under way, it is supposed to start actual | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
implementation a week from now and then various tranches of money or | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
frozen funds will be released to Iran, amounting eventually to | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
billions. That process is under way. In a sense he is leading the way, | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
but the Saudis aren't that far behind. I suspect in the coming | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
weeks and months we may see a bit of a thaw between Tehran and Riyadh, | :08:09. | :08:22. | |
the Saudi capital. The former Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
Sharon, was finally laid to rest today, he died on Saturday after | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
being in a coma for eight years. Israeli and world figures paid | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
tribute to Mr Sharon at a memorial service. He was a towering presence | :08:37. | :08:45. | |
on the political stage, but derided by Arabs as much. With prayers and | :08:46. | :08:59. | |
tributes outside parliament, Israel and its friends said a final | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
farewell to Ariel Sharon, eight years to the month after a stroke | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
removed him from power. Binyamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister, said | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
Sharon would go down in history as one of Israel's greatest military | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
leaders, who restored a lost legacy of Jewish bravery. To Ariel Sharon's | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
sons and grandchildren, Joe Biden, the US Vice President said Sharon's | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
passing felt like a death in the family to many Americans, even | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
though at times he had profound differences with American leaders. | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
From my observations he was a complex man, but to understand him | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
better I think it is important that history will judge, he also lived in | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
complex times. In a very complex neighbourhood. The coffin was taken | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
away to be buried at the Sharon family farm in southern Israel. | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
Ariel Sharon is as controversial in death as he was in life, for many | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
Israelis it was his military qualities, his strength and his | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
capacity for ruthlessness which made him a desirable Prime Minister at | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
the time that he was elected. Ariel Sharon owned a house in the old city | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
of Jerusalem, where most residents are Palestinians. For many years he | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
led the drive to settle Jews in the Occupied Territories. Jewish | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
settlers who live here in the Muslim quarter have armed security guards. | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
This man, a prominent Palestinian who believes in nonviolent | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
resistance to Israel, said Israelis should move on from Sharon's legacy | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
He thought he could deal with Palestinians and Arabs and the rest | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
of the world only through force. What Israel needs is a different | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
kind of political generation. People who understand that they themselves | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
will not be free as Israel is from the system of apartheid and | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
occupation unless we the Palestinians are free. As a soldier, | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
Ariel Sharon ignored orders if he thought his plan was more effective. | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
Often it was. Many Palestinians and some human rights campaigners think | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
he should have been put on trial as a war criminal. But he goes to his | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
grave mourned by Israelis who felt safer when he was around. The | :11:19. | :11:33. | |
tangled love life of the French President, Francois Hollande, likely | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
to overshadow his press conference in Paris tomorrow. France's First | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
Lady, Valerie Trierweiler, is expected to stay in hospital for the | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
next few days. She was admitted last Friday after a magazine printed | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
claims that President Hollande has been having an affair with an | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
actress. We have more on the story. The night of the presidential | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
election, centre stage Mr Hollande's girlfriend, his partner of seven | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
years, Valerie Trierweiler. A journalist with a keen eye for | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
politics and one who had played such a significant role in his campaign. | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
And yet, she's always been kept in the background, even the kiss on the | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
night was an awkward one, but of late it has been all too apparent | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
the distance between them has been growing. On Friday, the First Lady | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
was admitted to hospital with a severe case of the blue, said her | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
staff. She's in need of rest and may be discharged later today, they | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
added, before deciding what to do next. It is a mark of the cultural | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
difference between Britain and France that even today the French | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
media is teetering around the issue of Mr Hollande's private life. Even | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
the right-wing Le Figaro talks about his big speech tomorrow and problems | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
in the French economy. Make no mistake it is the silence of the | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
Elysee Palace on these issues that overshadows the main agenda. Even | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
the British media think there are issues. She writes for the Paris | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
Match, she's described as the First Lady, and she has been office at the | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
Elysee Palace. The French thinking about the ambiguous role that she | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
has makes it of relevance. This President always has problems | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
asserting his authority, not helped by pictures of a crash helmeted Mr | :13:25. | :13:32. | |
Hollande sneaking out of a lover's apartment. Now some of the day's | :13:33. | :13:41. | |
other news in brief, the interim President of the Central African | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
Republic, gripped by sectarian violence, has declared that the | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
period of anarchy in the country has ended. Hundreds of deserters from | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
the army have been reenlisting and policemen are once again on patrol. | :13:53. | :14:00. | |
Real Madrid and footballer Ronaldo has won the balancer for -- Ballon | :14:01. | :14:12. | |
d'Or again. He saw off all the competition. This | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
week Egyptians will vote in a referendum on a new constitution, | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
the previous one, brought in under the Islamist Government a couple of | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
years ago was nullified. It is the first test at the poll force the | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
interim Government after the removal of the Muslim Brotherhood President | :14:34. | :14:42. | |
last July . A slick production, with a stirring beat. This army video is | :14:43. | :14:51. | |
drumming up support for the constitution. The military is used | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
to calling the tune here, and it wants a resounding yes vote. It is a | :14:56. | :15:10. | |
one-sided campaign. Plenty of yes posters and no sign of a no, people | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
have been arrested for putting them up. The veteran diplomat cheered the | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
committee that drafted the constitution. He said the current | :15:20. | :15:27. | |
chaos imposed some limitations. I must We have everything in the | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
constitution to preserve and promote democracy. But there are articles, | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
and situations that need to be dealt with, bearing in mind the security | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
of the state and the security of the people of the country. On the | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
streets a hard sell about the benefits for the people. The | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
authorities say they will get more rights and more freedom, but they | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
can still be tried in military courts. This woman has more | :15:58. | :16:08. | |
immediate concerns, like survival. "Shall I feed my children from the | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
rubbish bin? " She asks. There is plenty of heated discussion going on | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
here, this referendum is about more than adopting a new constitution. | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
When Egyptians go to vote on the document, it will be the first time | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
they have been to the polls since Morsi was ousted last July. For many | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
this vote will also be seen as a referendum on a coup. For this woman | :16:33. | :16:50. | |
the vote is all but irrelevant The. She recalls the revolution which | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
seemed like a new beginning. But now Egypt has returned to the old | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
handbook. Why go into a whole process of deciding on a | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
constitution when actually the institution of the law itself is | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
being eroded. The only thing that this constitution does is that it | :17:08. | :17:16. | |
legitimises the very powerful and unquestioned position of the army in | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
Egypt today. Liberals aren't the only ones unhappy with the | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
constitution. There are calls for a boycott by the Muslim Brotherhood | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
and its supporters. It is now classed as a terrorist group. | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
Brotherhood protests continue, and the referendum may not deliver the | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
stability the authorities are promising. | :17:39. | :17:49. | |
Britain is getting fatter. Half the British population will be obese by | :17:50. | :18:00. | |
2050 the figures estimate, but could be underestimating. Unless there is | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
a significant change in habits the number of people classed as obese | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
will continue to rise. Our health correspondent reports. 27 years old | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
and 27 stone, Katie has battled weight problems ever since she was a | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
child. She has tried diets and wait weight loss clubs but still | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
struggle, she feels it is a fight she has to do on her own. I have to | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
do it myself, if I don't help myself I will end up dying or have serious | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
health concerns. Obesity increases the risk of conditions like | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
diabetes, heart disease and stroke. The numbers seem to have plateaued | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
in recent years but millions are struggling with their weight. We are | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
in daily touch with clinicians around the country who aring | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
disastrous levels of admissions into hospitals and clinics, not just for | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
obesity by itself, but some of the conditions enbeginedered by obesity. | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
It is thought 26% of adults are thought to be obese. Previous | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
reports thought up to half the population could be obese, this is | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
an estimate. The National Obesity Forum argues that figure could be | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
opt minx. Today's report says unless there is concerted action from | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
individuals, businesses and society and Government, we will be lucky if | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
only half the population are obese by 2050. It goes on to add while | :19:26. | :19:34. | |
there are no quick fixes there are things that could be done. For two | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
years Gloria has been visiting her local GP surgery to help her manage | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
they are weight. And family doctors are well placed to provide advice | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
and support. We see our patients all the time arcs pregnant ladies, our | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
children, I think in our conversations we should be | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
encouraging patients to go down the healthy lifestyle. Recent figures | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
suggest the number of overweight and obese primary school children in | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
England fell for the first time in six years. Grounds for hope then. | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
But the UK still faces a sizeable weight problem. Let's go to | :20:08. | :20:18. | |
Tinseltown were the 71st Golden Globes have finished. The Best | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
Picture is Twelve Years A Slave, and Best Director for Gravity. We have | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
more on the glittering prizes from Los Angeles. | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
Supposing, potting and playing to the crowd. It is the first major | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
awards show of the year and the biggest names in the business were | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
out in force. It was overlooked in several categories but Twelve Years | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
A Slave won the night's top award. It took the film's British director | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
Steve McQueen by surprise. Little bit in shock! What can I say. | :20:50. | :20:57. | |
Firstly I would like to thank the whole of the foreign press. I would | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
like to thank my wife, Bianca, for finding the book, Twelve Years A | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
Slave, thank you darling. The space shuttle disaster film, Gravity, made | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
in the UK, had four nominations but it won in only one category, for | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
Best Director. A Mexican director. This is for the hundreds of people | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
that made the film possible. Because of my thick accent they ended up | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
doing what they thought I said not what I really said. Sandra I'm going | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
to give you herpes, when I really meant was to say "Sandra I'm going | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
to give you an ear piece". American Hustle won three awards for Best | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
Comedy and two of its stars Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence. Other | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
winners were Matthew McConaughey for Dallas Buyers Club, and Leonardo di | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
Caproi, named Best Actor for The Wolf of Wall Street. Martin | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
Scorsese's tale of greed, strangely listed in the category for comedy. I | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
never would have thought I would have won for Best Actor in a Comedy. | :22:03. | :22:09. | |
Congratulations my fellow comedians, Christian Bale! It was a night when | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
no movie swept the board, and the acceptance speeches went on and on. | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
I just wondered can people at home hear this music or do they suddenly | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
think you are getting really fast because you are having a panic | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
attack, which I'm probably having. Most critics have thought the | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
standard of films is higher than ever, it means it is still all to | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
play for at Hollywood's most prestigious awards, the Oscar | :22:35. | :22:42. | |
nominations are out on Thursday. Now what is the secret to happy | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
marriage? According to a new study the answer, partly at least, is not | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
to have children. Researchers from the Open University here say those | :22:52. | :22:59. | |
without children have happier marriages than those who do. Nearly | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
5,000 people were interviewed for the study called Enduring Love. We | :23:04. | :23:11. | |
will give awe you a quick crash course from one of the co-authors of | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
the research. I know we like the glittering headlines of couples | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
without children being happier, it is partly true but not entirely? It | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
is not entirely true. Couples without children were reporting they | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
were happier in some ways. But in terms of relationship maintenance | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
that may be true, but in terms of the quality of life and the things | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
that they were feeling happy about more generally that isn't the case. | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
The group that were reporting feeling the most relationship | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
don'tment might be childless couples, but the ones -- don'tment | :23:43. | :23:50. | |
might be childless couple, but the ones reporting most happiness is | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
women with children. So woman who don't have children are not as happy | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
as those who do have children? It is interesting, what fathers were | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
saying is they are happy with their relationships and lives, what | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
mothers seem to be saying is their children were giving them something | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
more that was bringing them an individual sense of their worth or | :24:10. | :24:11. | |
satisfaction with their life and relationship more generally. It | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
certainly seems like for women, having a child is meaningful in a | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
different way. And women who have children are they happier than men | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
also who have children? We didn't really, looking at happiness in that | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
way, it wasn't a happiness and well being study, it was more about the | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
processes and practices of being in a relationship. We focussed more on | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
relationship maintenance. You said relationship maintenance was easier, | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
that is obvious, if you don't have children around, does it simply come | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
that you have more time for each other or is it that children | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
actually themselves by their presence create some difficulties in | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
a relationship? The qualitative data, because we also interviewed 50 | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
couples as well, what was that was showing is there is definitely less | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
time, but it also might be that we are not very good at recognising | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
what couples are doing, which is helping a relationship to work. The | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
relationship work, if you want to call it, that couples might be | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
doing, might be small gestures for each other, it might be sitting and | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
watching a TV together. We might think of that as a passive activity. | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
Our couples were saying that is positive and affirming for their | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
relationship. It is doing something together and investing in a TV | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
narrative together. They have done it for 20 years watching this | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
programme, it is meaningful to them, the same as doing activities, it | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
might be that those with childr weren't reporting in the same way. | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
They might not be doing as many things but it doesn't mean their | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
quality of relationship was poorer. This was a UK study, but you have a | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
bit of an idea about how couples operate outside the UK too? The | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
survey itself was on-line, it was predominantly UK, but we had 1,000 | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
or so people take part from outside the UK. But it might be some of the | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
things that are mentioned are peculiarly British, like the cup of | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
tea, that doesn't necessarily translate to other cultural context, | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
there may be something in those contexts that might be specific, | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
something in the context of America or different countries which, is the | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
symbol in the UK. When it comes to relationship management it is a | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
challenge for me, I have four children Jackie. There you go. Thank | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
you very much for taking us through your study. Now let's remind you of | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
the main news. The path of diplomacy with Iran over its nuclear programme | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
has been boosted by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of | :26:32. | :26:34. | |
Dubai, one of the seven emirates that make up the UAE, his commends | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
in an exclusive interview with the BBC came a day after Iran signed an | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
interim agreement with the permanent members of the Security Council in | :26:44. | :26:46. | |
Germany. That's all from the programme, next the weather. Goodbye | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
from me and the team. Good evening, quite a bit of | :26:51. | :27:02. | |
sunshine across the British Isles today, a bit more tomorrow. But | :27:03. | :27:03. |
