Confirming the findings of a confidential report by the U.N. agency seen by Reuters last month, IAEA Director-General Yukiya Amano said Tehran had observed the deal which was opposed by hardliners inside Iran and by skeptics in the West.

Hungarians set to reject migrant quotas in boon for PM Orban Posted: 01 Oct 2016 04:05 PM PDT By Krisztina Than BUDAPEST (Reuters) - An overwhelming majority of Hungarians are expected to reject the European Union's migrant quotas in a referendum on Sunday, which should boost Prime Minister Viktor Orban's standing at home and embolden him in his battles with Brussels. Orban, who has been in power since 2010, is among the toughest opponents of immigration in the EU, and over the past year he has sealed Hungary's southern borders with a razor-wire fence and thousands of army and police border patrols. While last year hundreds of thousands of migrants fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East crossed Hungary on their way to richer countries in Western Europe, this year Hungary recorded around 18,000 illegal border crossings.

Pedro Sanchez, Spain's fallen Socialist chief Posted: 01 Oct 2016 03:15 PM PDT At the helm of the Spanish Socialist party for more than two years, Pedro Sanchez -- or "Mr Handsome" as he is known -- fell for repeatedly saying "no" to the conservatives.

The former economics professor was largely unknown when he took the reins of the Socialist party (PSOE) in July 2014 after winning the first ever primary elections organised by the 137-year-old grouping.
