Hello, this is David Austin with the BBC news.

Iran says it'll breach a key commitment of its 2015 nuclear agreement later this month. The spokesman for Iran's Atomic Energy Organization Behrouz Kamalvandi said that on June 27th, the reserves of enriched uranium held by the country would exceed the permitted limit.

Today, the countdown to pass the three hundred kilograms reserve of enriched uranium has started and in ten days time, we will pass this limit.

President Hassan Rouhani warned last month that his country would stop observing such restrictions because the Uited States had abandoned the deal. The BBC's defense correspondent says this is another warning from Tehran that unless European countries take firm action to relieve the pressure of American sanctions,Iran will break out of the constraints set by the deal.

A Vatican document has raised the idea of the Roman Catholic Church ordaining older married men as priests in remote areas of the Amazon where there's a shortage of clergy. It comes ahead of a synod focusing on the region in October. They will discuss whether to ask the Pope to recommend such a practice, which would be a historic, if limited shift away from priestly celibacy.

The Roman Catholic Church in Eritrea has condemned the government for seizing and shutting down all its health centers last week. In a letter to the Health Ministry, the church said such action would not happen in a country where the rule of law existed. It's believed the authorities were retaliating against a church statement calling for government reforms to stem the tide of migration to Europe.

The emergency services in Nigeria say at least thirty people have been killed in suicide attacks in the northeast of the country. Forty others are reported to have been wounded. Our correspondent Mayeni Jones sent this report from Lagos.

The attack happened in a hall where people were watching a football match on TV in Konduga and I was driving southeast of the state's capital Maiduguri. A local resident told the BBC that one of the bombers was prevented from entering the hall before detonating his vest. Two other attackers who were nearby then set off their devices. The attack is believed to have been carried out by the Boko Haram Jihadi group which has been operating in the region for a decade. Although it has lost territory to the Nigerian armed forces, the group still carries out regular attacks in the northeast.

The city in the Indian state of Bihar has banned large outdoor gatherings in a bid to keep residents out of the blistering heat that is said to have killed dozens of people over the weekend. Heavy manual labor, such as construction will also be prohibited in Gaya city between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.. The heat wave is being felt in states across northern India.
