region which i do know fairly well i'm thinking there's no other way out you know it's not like there is a straight or a canal or something is that it's it's so important and when you add in you know other geopolitical factors in the gulf at the moment is not like you can just drive across borders and things like no absolutely not and you know what we might see a reduction in traffic as a result of this there are the options are significant limited we may see for example as a measure in the short term the implementation of naval escorts although as we saw with the. attacks and for jar on the 12th that's only part the problem and the maritime measures that are in place at the moment. things as my time promised see the piracy the use of armed guards for practically redundant in situations like this so in other words it's all going to cost a lot as well isn't that i know we talked about or i mentioned there the idea of the trickle down to consumers but for just shipping anything if this gets any worse the cost of security the cost of shipping it all goes up. while the 1st increase we

will see will be to the shipping operators in the terms of insurance cos we already saw following the for jar tax on the 12th of may the increase in p. and i cover which is the insurance to shipping hopper is not great is so we're likely to see the same extended across the straits of hormuz. which will effectively has already been included in what is called the pretrial risk premium in addition you've already mentioned the oil prices now that today we saw a large increase whether that continues going forward is subject to the vagaries of oil price fluctuations as per normal but include in addition to those or it's pretty humid issues we can see insurance costs going on for cargo and also for cruise so yes it'll start at the bottom end of the supply chain and trickle its way through fields and really interesting talking to you very informative thank you thank you. right here's what's coming up for you on this news hour standing firm in hong kong calls for another mass protest as the government plans to proceed with

its controversial extradition bill banned from going fishing the israeli navy tightens its grip on the gaza strip and a legend of asian sport and his 19 year quest to win an olympic gold medal fara is here with that story later. and we go back to the geopolitics now kurdistan hosting a summit of world leaders from the shanghai cooperation organization that is a security bloc led by china and russia topics of discussion for the meeting are expected to cover regional security concerns and the ongoing trade war between the u.s. and china when i have a little closer look at the shanghai cooperation organization the c.e.o. formed by russia and china in 2001 it's got 8 members india and pakistan joined in the year 2017 he also got kurdistan and was.

iran which is in the news right now of course trying to become a full member but remains an observer and server. observer on the sidelines along with afghanistan belarus and mongolia their c.e.o. has 2 permanent headquarters the secretariat is in beijing and the regional and terrorist structure is in can't the capital of pakistan this organization represents 40 percent of the world's population and more than 20 percent of global g.d.p. its role has been expanded from security issues to other areas like trade energy culture and transportation the block is increasingly being seen as a threat to powers like the united states we talk about it more in a moment 1st this form of walker in the kurdistan capital bishkek. this summit is taking place against the backdrop of geopolitical tensions between china and united states over the terrorists that donald trump has slapped on chinese imports to the

united states and also against the backdrop of growing tensions between iran and the west particularly iran and the united states now that there is no deal the iranians have threatened to continue enriching uranium we've seen a standoff and war of words. what's been happening in yemen we've seen. meeting with the iranian leadership and in an attempt to calm things down well now here we are expecting. to be at the summit and to have by natural means including with vladimir putin which observers think is an opportunity for iran to seek new alliances. in the face by this ongoing issue over and over the nuclear deal so this is an opportunity for the club to come together and to see kind of regional support to kill the china we expect he jinping also to meet with glad to

meet putin and with not into modi of india india as a new member of the shanghai cooperation organization in their search to find consensus on what they discussed described as trade protectionism clear reference to donald trump's policies economic policies for the united states. he with us now senior lecturer in international relations and middle east politics at the university of bradford's he is in leeds for us now in northern england so let's talk about iran which has obviously i pointed out is featuring high in the news at the moment in the geopolitical world even though it's not a full member of this bloc it's a good place for it to be isn't it is amongst friends i guess would say. yeah absolutely i mean given the fact that we're iran ease at the moment any opportunity like that is just like a god given gift don't forget that there should be since the more trump came to

power he made it kind of he's made business to con of increase pressure on this because public of iran and one of the main tactics that do not trump has been trying to use to impose more pressure on iran was actually political isolation so without any doubt. an opportunity and a platform like this for his son rouhani is extremely welcome on given these very sensitive unimportance situation that iran is in that the moment it is there a risk that it splinters the geo political map even further we're at a time where there are so many problems between so many nations and where iran sits on that can actually. strengthen those divides to create more divides that give. yes but actually what is happening at the moment certainly what happened today is not something that should concern iran and kind of limited iranian allies in the

region what's happened today actually in the persian gulf is going to be loose loose for everyone from the ukrainian perspective obviously given the current situation they're not really interested in conifer increasing con of tension with the united states and their allies in the region but it is also at least economically a very very bad news for busy iran's neighbors only a few weeks ago after the incidents near for judas some major most mean insurance companies in london deemed the waters off a number of countries in persian gulf including united arab emirates dangerous for trading and obviously that has serious implications for the insurance premiums and if you look at a lot of for example certain ports like dubai without trading without being kind of

considered as a safe passage for international transition or v.s.e. they're going to face some major economic consequences and basically incidents like what happened if you weeks ago in for gita and what happened today is going to have a very very important and tonge of all economic consequences for a number of countries including the united arab emirates as or so actually what is happening at the moment of course is a very bad news for iran because obviously do not be interested to see escalation of violence and tension but it is equally bad news for other countries in in the region joining us from leeds today thank you. 2 other news and public gatherings are being banned in the district of uganda where 2 people have died from a boulder both victims recently crossed the border from democratic republic of congo where the latest outbreak has killed an infected thousands the world health organization is holding an emergency meeting on friday to discuss the developments

all the details now from him ahmed. where are hospital in western uganda is where the 5 year old boy than his grandmother died from. both had recently arrived with other family members from neighboring democratic republic of congo where the boy's grandfather also succumbed to the virus ugandan doctors say 2 other patients are being kept in isolation in. other people who had contacts with the family are being monitored the district surrounding the hospital is on alert the government has banned public gatherings in district as the ministry of health tries to control the spread of the virus causes internal bleeding and is often fatal. the latest outbreak of ebola in uganda spread from the east in d.r. c. the outbreak there last year has killed 1400 congolese and infected 2000 just over 500 have been treated efforts to contain the spread have been hampered by militia attacks on treatment centers and hostility towards medical teams. in the bustling

markets of uganda's capital kampala concerns are growing. by the minister today morning i heard on the radio. just like about you know i don't see any preparedness because people are moving freely and i think they're not always. yeah they you know it is a very dangerous disease. to see happen. when. people see does as far. as not they are. and i would say preventive measures are being imposed ugandans being urged to wash their hands with soap and an emergency vaccination campaign is being set up to immunize health workers on the frontline in number of people over 700 frontline health has another one we have vaccinated in consistency and so on friday we shall be

finish on again more. frontline hills other work on ring vaccination for the contacts the alerts is spreading to the world health organization and emergency committee is planned on friday to determine whether the bonus spread to uganda should become an international public health emergency here mohamed al jazeera. his hometown so now in kampala in uganda what is the latest now from uganda's health ministry. well the health ministry released a statement a few hours ago if they say they can confirm there are 3 confirmed cases of ebola in uganda they say a 5 year old boy and his grandmother have died what happened according to them is that the family went to a funeral in neighboring india when they came back to uganda they weren't feeling well went to a local clinic offers them tests it was discovered that they did indeed have ebola so what health of those who are trying to do now is identify how many people came

into contact with this family and where are they not include some of the health workers who were on duty at the time another challenge they face in that they've been told that the family when they returned to uganda what that with them several other relatives has been trying to track them down so far 5 of those individuals have been identified and one of them is a 3 year old boy at 10 o'clock local time here in uganda they were saying to back to the to see we told it was their own agreement between the ugandan government and then that because 80 people are congolese citizens and beadwork felt by both governments that right now the best place for them to get help is in the be. prepared how equipped is uganda to something others as you point out do you see has been through this before it's a terrible situation with it but it does know how to respond what about uganda. well uganda does have some experience and in the past there's been

a few brave here and the so they've learned how to try and contain it when it happens for example when the last big what happened when with africa a few years ago a huge contingent of ugandan help was as we're saying to countries such as so early on to help countries in with contain the outbreak act that time but they are challenges they're facing for example extremely poor borders in some places it's easier for people to go from one country to another with very few security checks and then also understand this region is very mineral rich there's a lot of cross border trade lots of long distant trucks traveling from one country to another a popular route is from d r t into zambia they didn't end up in zimbabwe and then into south africa and to the port of durban where those goods against supports the health workers our health workers are warning that if there aren't enough proper security checks at official border points and a place where also on so official it will be even harder to contain this outbreak.

is that update thank you. there's been more fighting on the outskirts of libya's capital warlord forces been battling soldiers from the un recognized government military sources say government forces are advancing on the areas of anxiety and while there are very close after the warplanes also targeted several locations across tripoli overnight more from what up the one had in tripoli. the clashes that we knew were dirt between forces loyal to the government of national called and fighters loyal to the world have to on the southern outskirts of the libyan capital the military sources with the government say that their forces are advancing in why did the b. and n's are neighborhoods in southern. the government sources also say that they have lost civil fighters in thursday's clashes and they also say that the clashes than you would after have to those warplanes targeted similar locations overnight

and this and on thursdays morning across tripoli and that includes that also includes civil civilian locations including civilian houses we know that have to do or planes that have been intensifying airstrikes recently that's after have those forces have not been able to achieve their goals by. city center as the government forces have been pushing them back beyond the southern parts of the libyan capital we know that the clashes have taken long as their military sources say that have to as forces have been have been pushed back by the government forces back beyond the diversity of the in active old international airport on the southern western part of tripoli and the city of misrata in india and definitely an area that's around 20 kilometers to the west from misrata a pro-government plane crashed because of

and we should not be expected to see dry in dusty hot conditions struck middle east and iran that's true a few showers run across the sun caspian and that's some relief from it and same is true in southern caucasus and maybe turkey otherwise is just where the wind coming from well it's a hot dry wood now coming south through iraq 44 degrees in baghdad might translate to about 48 in science around basra that will bring with it dust which is on its way sas through the gulf otherwise be on one of already said regarding showers it is dry hardly a surprise we're now into proper summer such i'm sure as easily into the middle forty's from there how westwards the breeze has brought more just in recently through eastern saudi and toward the this cloud along the south coast a result of the incoming monsoon which will just i think will bring a tropical cycle with it just to catch the size of pakistan or at least the winds and rain will catch you but for the regular plants that is not the case and it sort of improves cloud wise come saturday. that's where the most active weather is in

the world actually that's right africa southern africa you'll be pushed to see any significant cloud at all power from this frontal system just dragging trust in the south or south africa but inland by day stuff as well as it could be you're lucky to get 22 of course frosty nights. germany's birth varian helps where stunning scenery is play host to europe's latest arrivals. separate in origin. and share a common room. and together dream of a german future. welcome to german café vald left a witness documentary on al-jazeera. it's my privilege to name al-jazeera english the broadcaster of the year the cartels are fighting each other and we've

been told that we caught on film yet this is the largest demonstration that's been held by their refugees since over 700000 right here some of the nicest losers on the planet earth here or they think that they could be but that here. is here english. recipient of the new christian broadcaster of the year. around the news here at al-jazeera these are our top stories the u.n. chief is willing to wolf cannot afford a major confrontation in the gulf his remarks come hours off to 2 tankers were

damaged and in fact he waited in what is being reported as an attack in the gulf of oman the u.n. security council is now scheduled a closed door emergency made public gatherings are being banned in the district of uganda where 2 people have died from the ebola virus the world health organization is holding an emergency meeting on friday to decide if it is now a public health emergency and there's been more fighting on the outskirts of libya's capital. as forces have been battling soldiers from the un recognized government ministry sources say government forces are advancing on the areas of and why the. the former british foreign secretary boris johnson has topped the 1st round of voting by conservative party m.p.'s in a contest to elect the new leader and he's won by an overwhelming margin 3 candidates have now dropped out of the race before further rounds to decide who replaces theresa may as prime minister doris johnson with 114. in votes from conservative m.p.'s his nearest challenger just 43 remember theresa may resigned

last week after failing to unite parliament including her own divided party around a break that deal following developments in london it is lawrence they hi lauren. pretty convincing. yeah and absolutely outweighed all the expectations people had him at about 808500114 that is a lot more and better bear in mind as well kemal that you know that the way this coalition works is that people get shaved off the bottom so 3 got knocked out today and more will follow and certainly 2 of the 3 they got knocked out today are hard bracks it's as like johnson claims to be. and over the course of time people like that who get not have to think to whom they're going to lend their votes and the seems to be by my calculation of winning likelihood that he could end up with at least a $150.00 or $160.00 which would be more than half the conservative bloc in parliament

and so he's also medical issue in then that then then for the last 2 if he doesn't win outright without even having to go to the membership and they clearly the m.p.'s think that he's the man a to take the u.k. out with with or without a trade deal be to defeat nigel farage bracks a party and see plenty to be jeremy corbin in an election but in all that they seem to ignore entirely just how vague johnson is when he says well i'll just go back to the european union and renegotiate you know because there's no time to do it and there are absolutely no grounds for suggesting that the european who wants to certainly in the way that judge johnson seems flippantly to think he can and it does make you wonder if he's actually been following at all the experience of sarees m a over the last 3 years. jeremy hunt 43. sajid javid 23. or it's johnson $114.00.

so it's already seems to be boris johnson's race to lose he received nearly 3 times as many votes as his nearest rival in this 1st round and momentum is now very much with. his team is studiously avoided letting johnson do any of this sort of thing for the obvious reason that it hardly looks like a prime minister in waiting. but for all of his ducking of difficult questions about his private life and personality it remains a fact that polling has him as popular with his party but unpopular with very many voters they are unlikely m.p.'s seem to want to know how exactly he will renegotiate a deal with the european union when there is effectively no time left to do it i think the onus is on the candidates to show how they will achieve brics it because it's all very well saying what will go for no deal may not get through parliament.

so you really go she really moment get through the year so at the moment the kind of not being adequately precise to convince even their own colleagues let alone the membership of the public in orange johnson's appeal is partly based on the terror many conservative m.p.'s have that nigel farage is the bracks of policy is so undermining them that if it isn't delivered as soon as possible then the tory party faces destruction. but does johnson do his rivals jeremy hunt the current foreign secretary or michael gove the eloquence environment secretary actually know how to deliver bracks it's any better than to reason made it they've been wrong for 3 years about what the e.u. is willing to negotiate why would they be right all of a sudden now so they don't stand up to scrutiny i think it's not necessarily intended to stand up to scrutiny i think it's maybe intended to influence the candidates in the leadership debate to toward sort of moving generally towards

their direction and competing with each other to be more. yes that consideration seems less important to rank and file conservatives than their belief that only johnson can stop their party from being wiped out boris johnson may not be a details man but he's certainly not short of rhetorical flourish courage seems to be his by word of course the u.k. can do this one way or the other well if he really thinks he is the man to take the you can't of the european union without any sort of trade deal he may find himself hostage to his own fortune. apart from anything else the growing likelihood of johnson as prime minister put enormous pressure on the labor party to jeremy corbyn to do something to stop the u.k. being walked out of the european union without any trade deal and time is not on his side either. so with all that in mind lawrence how would europe the e.u. view a potential prime minister johnson. well with absolute horror it in all honesty the

many european newspapers are full of it the last couple of days they just can't believe the u.k. would want someone like him as prime minister that he's known in brussels as being an inveterate liar because when he was a journalist there in the 1990 s. he used to make up stories for the newspapers and the thing is he hit his approach so everything will be fine you know it's just the absolute antithesis of the forensic level of detail that people like michel barnier in the european negotiators put on things and so if he goes back and says all let's talk about it again they'll just say ok our reporter writes of european citizens in the u.k. and 39000000000 pounds please as with as a divorce settlement where you are about that and you know it he doesn't have any answers to these are questions because he doesn't deal in detail it's all he deals in imagination and british vivre and these sorts of things and so it it does make you wonder if there's any if any point in the intrinsic renegotiate because he's

not going to get anywhere it's all the other thing come out as it was a briefly he says will leave out the deal at the end of october lots of people say he's going to other m.p.'s who don't want to leave and saying to them that worry i'll ever do that at all which boris johnson should believe that's the question. lawrence lee thank you for that lawrence is in london for us and on skype from brussels for us now steven erlanger the chief diplomatic correspondent. for europe for the new york times nice to have you with us as always steve and maybe you'd like to pick up on what lawrence was saying there as we were discussing the idea of how quote unquote prime minister johnson would be. greeted in europe. well certainly with trepidation i'm not sure with horror there is this feeling that a real bricks a turban should be in charge of her exit for the british government. and there isn't much time left i think most people think we're headed for another extension despite what boris johnson says and for

a general election in britain i don't think the withdrawal agreement just 700 page thing that was so painfully negotiated. can change very much i have to say certainly not on the back stop it will have to change anyway because britain has extended its membership so all the numbers change everyone talks about 39000000000 but of course that number will well will simply have to change there there is a feeling that any prime minister with the wind of. the party and parliament behind him or her is far better than to reason may who had no one behind her so if forest johnson can actually construct amend it and control the house everyone will be very happy because frankly i think we've all

been headed for a long time to afraid to a free trade deal of the style of canada which is you know a kind of bracks it's middle take a long time to negotiate and i don't see it for ford johnson it's the transition period that worries him in it's the symbolism of legally leaving and and i think you know that's can be done but it has to be done with some kind of divorce deal if not they'll be chaos and boris johnson knows that the pride knows that everybody knows that many even if they do you know get pushed out on october 31st they'll have to. back in brussels in the next week to talk about how airplanes land and and how we do things it's not so simple stephen on a more sort of domestic level but i'm sure you're equipped to answer this is well what what is it that makes doris johnson quite so popular within the conservative

party because everything you've described about him in lawrence described about him before paint this picture of a of a of a divisive character in a controversial character and yet look at the support he got well i have to say i knew him a bit when he was a journalist and so on he is amazingly creative leaf funny he's a very funny person to have around the problem is he's very ambitious but he appeals as they say. to the parts other tories don't reach she's very popular out in the country and he's popular with people who aren't necessarily conservatives he does well with a lot of labor voters also and people like us they like with trump this sense that he has no political correct don't political correctness that he speaks his mind the tories are so desperately afraid that their party is going down the drain i think

they're they will line up in support of someone who at least promises them the sunlit upland that boris johnson keeps talking about nobody really trusts him i mean people regard him as reckless and it shows people regard him as you know after that in a way he's like jay gatsby if this makes any sense there's a hollowness at the heart of boris johnson that he's always trying to shill but as if he finally gets to be prime minister is right maybe kill him learn to relax and learn to lead as opposed to simply flannel. they say personality goes a long way steven erlanger great to talk to you thank you thanks come all your mother british home secretary has assigned an extradition order that could send the wiki leaks founder julian assange to the united states where he faces espionage charges songe is currently serving a 50 week prison sentence in the u.k.

for jumping bail and 2012 whether he's transferred to the u.s. will depend on the decision of a british court set to hear his case on friday lawyers however say he is too ill to attend. in albania have just overwhelmingly passed a no confidence motion against president. the resolution passed 100 to 7 give me the vote proposed by the prime minister after the president cancelled this month's local elections opposition groups of held months of weekly protests against rama accusing him and other socialist poly party politicians of colluding with organized crime groups john psaropoulos with us now from tirana albania capital that is an overwhelming vote against president what happens now. when it's important to understand that this parliament isn't normal functioning parliament both past 107 because in february the opposition

parties some merrily walked out of this legislature behind me and since then it has been populated by just the 75 socialist m.p.'s there for traditional allies and today they were also backed by about half of the 43 opposition and peace whom rama called to take the seats of the those m.p.'s who had left he approached the the runners up from the 2017 election and said the person who came in ahead of you for your constituency has resigned his or her seat so now the seat falls to you and some of those people did take those seats it was prime minister ramos attempt to project an image of normality and legislative process as usual but the at least 48 percent of the electorate voted for opposition parties and 2017 doesn't

seem to be convinced that it is business as usual in this parliament now that the president seems to have sided rather more with that opposition by issuing a legal opinion on the 8th of this month in which he said that he's worried that proceeding with local government elections as originally planned on june 30th one could lead to an uncontrollable situation he said that i consider this moment as a serious threat to public security democratic stability tranquility and peace in the country because he says it doesn't make sense politically or constitutionally to have a set of local elections for $61.00 mayors across the country for which only the ruling socialist post he has fielded candidates it doesn't make sense to dissent. franchise disenfranchise the half roughly of the electorate that would have backed an opposition and but the opposition refuses to participate in that election so

let's get around the table and talk about a different date for that election was president india meadows message last week mr obama has today to live with a rebuke to the message saying the president has effectively sided with the opposition he can no longer hold office with all thora too because he has effectively played party politics and ceased to be a unifying figure for the nation so we've just now the word of president. the democratic opposition leader. this is the word of prime minister would you rather them. with the update from tehran i thank you israeli navy is banning palestinian fishermen in gaza from going to see indefinitely israel's defense ministry says the ban is in response to the launching of incendiary balloons and kites across the border june is peak fishing season in gaza which supports tens of thousands of people israel and egypt of course

a blockade of gaza since 2007 more on this from perry forces in west jerusalem. gaza's fishing industry employs some 4000 people working on some 1200 boats and since the end of the last round of fighting between israel and palestinian armed factions here in gaza that was at the beginning of may they've really been bearing the brunt of the continued tensions since every time in century devices flown across into israeli territory setting fires in israel it's the israeli military has been restricting access to the fishing zone taking it down from 50 nautical miles to 10 nautical miles then relaxing those restrictions again when tensions seem to subside this time though after a number of fires were set inside israeli territory on wednesday the israeli military has decided entirely to close down access to the sea for garza's fishermen the fishing union says it is costing them hundreds of thousands of dollars

a day the background to all of this is that hamas is indicating that israel has not been moving quickly enough on some of the undertakings that it made in terms of quelling that last round of violence both in terms of preparing the way for more qatari money to come into gaza other restrictions being relaxed in terms of what is allowed to be imported into gaza so now we're into another period it seems of increased tension a lot will be shown in the way potentially in terms of where this will go with what happens on friday the next round of protests at the border they have been restricted in terms of how close people are being able to get to the border question is what will happen this friday and where will that point in terms of how the tensions between israel and hamas roll on from here a suicide bomber has targeted a security checkpoint in northern afghanistan at least 7 people were killed in the explosion in jalalabad in jalalabad in the province and nobody has claimed

begin to describe what likely transpired this morning iran's proposed regional dialogue forum is imperative ok we will talk to you can be how could at the white house shortly for more reaction from the u.s. but we stand with mike hanna at the u.n. where we heard a very strong comment from antonio terrace not long ago indeed yes well this was a previously shared meeting to discuss corporation between the league of arab nations and the united nations and certainly deep concern among all the members here as shared jeweled the secretary general opened the meeting with an address and he said in his speech that he warns against apportioning blame without as attaining the circumstances of this incident i strongly condemn any attack against civilian vessels facts must be established and responsibilities clarified
