Reports state Johnson is visiting Tehran in a bid to secure the release of British-Iranian Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who has been jailed there for nearly two years. The trip is the third by a UK Foreign Secretary since 2003 and comes at a time of tension in the Middle East over Donald Trump's announcement that he is recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Boris Johnson is heading to his first international summit as prime minister – and meetings with Donald Trump, the EU and other world leaders on the agenda, Sky News reports.

International issues such as climate change, inequality and security are likely to dominate the three-day G7 summit in the French seaside town of Biarritz.

The report adds that the summit will also be a chance for Mr Johnson to talk Brexit and trade on the global stage.

He is expected to tell the US president that the NHS will not be on the table in any future trade deal.
