:03:54. > :03:57.Iran has done enough to mothball enough of its nuclear activities to
:03:58. > :04:01.reassure the world that it no longer represents an imminent threat. That
:04:02. > :04:08.is the green light for sanctions from the UN, from the EU, from the

:04:19. > :04:22.will be here in person to pledge they are keeping their side of the

:04:58. > :05:00.after their dinghy got into trouble in the Aegean sea near the small

:05:21. > :05:22.has been outlining his plans In a speech in London in the last
:05:23. > :05:30.hour, he said a Labour Government would ban companies from paying
:05:31. > :05:33.dividends to shareholders unless they pay workers
:05:34. > :05:35.the Living Wage. Matt Cole was watching
:05:36. > :05:44.and joins us now. Yes, Jeremy Corbyn's speed about an
:05:45. > :05:49.hour ago, a chance for him to regain some of the political initiative
:05:50. > :05:54.after a bumpy start to 2016 and the difficulties with his shadow
:05:55. > :05:57.cabinet. Weaving through this, if the theme of fairness, something he
:05:58. > :06:02.said the Conservatives only talk about but which he and Labour
:06:03. > :06:05.committee said, could act upon. Most interesting, the idea of banning
:06:06. > :06:10.companies from paying dividends to their shareholders until workers are
:06:11. > :06:15.on at least the living wage, ?7.85 outside of London, ?9.15 in it. That
:06:16. > :06:18.idea has not gone down well with the Confederation of British Industry.
:06:19. > :06:22.They say pretty much that Mr Corbyn should mind his own business, but it
:06:23. > :06:27.went down well here with Labour supporters who are probably get they
:06:28. > :06:28.are focusing on domestic policy, rather than fighting amongst
:06:29. > :06:34.themselves. Stuart Broad has put England in a
:06:35. > :06:42.good position in the third test against South Africa in
:06:43. > :06:46.Johannesburg. Got him, Don! Captain Abie de Villiers was one of four
:06:47. > :06:54.quick wickets for England's fast bowler. England were earlier bowled
:06:55. > :06:59.out for 323, a lead of ten. You can see more on all of today's
