Boris Johnson 'should see Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe in Iran'

Richard Ratcliffe, the husband of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who is serving a jail sentence in Iran, says he hopes to meet the foreign secretary Boris Johnson as soon as possible, to ask him to do more to help her.

The BBC understands Boris Johnson has agreed to speak to him on Sunday, but Mr Ratcliffe still wants a face-to-face meeting in the next few days.

It is also understood the Foreign Office is reviewing Mr Radcliffe's latest request, made this morning on BBC Breakfast, to meet next week.

Boris Johnson has apologised for causing any anxiety by mistakenly telling MPs Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe had been training journalists when she was arrested in Tehran - she had been visiting family with her daughter.
