thank you well any incident in the strait of hormuz shipping channel can have a knock on effect on the supply and the price of oil globally around one 3rd of oil traded by sea passes through the strait that's 20 percent of the true total traded worldwide the sea route is used by major producers saudi arabia the u.a.e. and kuwait exporting to mainly asian markets it's also used by cats are the world's largest liquefied natural gas producer news of thursday's attacks or the price of oil jumped by around 4 percent clear part for doing be henri is president of the world maritime university she says these sorts of attacks can impact world trade. and the question is whether or not these security incidents can be detected in time agro ships our actually on manned castles and the hour of the hour not armed on vessels they're not on because the a cargo ships and they depend there for an external protection so you have what they're at with their what does exist however at the detection systems like radar

that have been developed for navigation as well as for anti collusion so you would imagine that these would be among the instruments there would 1st be actively to ensure the maximum amount of security in terms of shipping because when you think of the number of ships at sea every day if it weren't for these important security measures and shipping i would imagine there would be much more there would be even worse incidents taking place all more frequently so these international instruments like an international ship and port security code and as well as the. last conventions that you've likely to see these important imo instruments acritical for making shipping as safe as it is today. plenty more still to come for you here on news hour including the president's albania under fire m.p.'s overwhelmingly have just passed a no confidence vote. sinking without a trace the new art exhibition highlighting the plight of migrants in the

mediterranean. and in the sports news brazilian striker martyr breaks another record at the women's football world cup. sudan's ruling military council has admitted it ordered the dispersal of a sit in protest outside the army headquarters building last week the operation to clear the protesters on june the 3rd resulted in dozens of deaths and hundreds wounded the military has now expressed regret over the incident the system began at the start of april and prompted the military to topple president omar al bashir the leadership of the jumper has resisted calls to hand over power to a civilian government but she has now been charged with corruption. sudan's military has again blamed protest groups for the breakdown in talks on a transition to civilian rule mazen from up. what is delaying the

negotiations is the false understanding for a civilian led government and this is something that even you in the media have been wrong in identifying we are not classified as civilians because we were military close there are screaming civilian civilian in my view civilian is the thirty's is the ruling is the task which we agreed on after we agreed that government ministers and the legislative council would be civilian led they are still screaming civilian civilian they said the military will only work in the sovereign council the declaration for freedom and change said they agreed to 95 percent and there was a disagreement over 5 percent or 5 percent all those blessed souls were lost that 5 percent was how many civilians and how many military would be in the sovereign council and who would lead we believe the majority should be military and the leadership should be military and they believed otherwise if we insist that the military is the sole guarantor for peace and stability in the transitional phase let's take a look at her things stand as of now in sudan well there's been

a holes in the violence after protest groups called off the civil disobedience movement which led to more clashes earlier this week the return to relative calm is largely due to mediation efforts by the ethiopian prime minister ahmed and days after mr man's visit a top u.s. diplomat for africa met the head of the t.m.c. the transitional military council on thursday. as called on the military to withdraw from khartoum and to stop attacking civilians he's also urged an independent investigation into the crackdown on the city in the army headquarters let's bring in jeff stacey jeff is former u.s. state department official who joins us live from our studios in washington jeff great to talk to you again what will come of these charges against omar al bashir do we think. well it's ironic that. now is when they decide to make these charges right when they're guilty of massive human rights violations massacres and everything in between i mean this is a mini genocide if you will and they sit there with

a straight face trying to say that somehow the protesters and those on the streets demanding their rights are to blame on the one hand or on the other that they were unreasonable when of course we know all of this is rubbish so it's very welcome that we have not only the ethiopian prime minister there but for a change a senior u.s. diplomat and finally the u.s. named a special envoy this was overdue it's a little late and had it happened earlier and if the u.n. would actually send a heavyweight in there this actually could have been prevented so that the jigsaw pieces have been reconfigured in this process does this make the talks with the t.n.c. easier or harder or do they just kind of unpack it sold and park the big issues on the back burner. as dramatically more difficult i mean especially when you're being told directly by the so-called i mean the worst euphemism in the world right now is

the rapid support force forces i mean the janitor weed for handy the general to actually blame the protesters is just an extraordinary thing and it makes it even harder for the leaders of the opposition to agree to terms and to come back to the table if they're being blamed directly after they suffered this massacre so we need not just investigations we need heavy heavy pressure from the u.n. security council from the secretary general a visit would be quite necessary and timely we need heavy heavy pressure put on the t.m.c. now because behind the scenes they've just gotten a giant payoff from their friends around the region over in the gulf and that is really what broke this and that makes it all the more difficult for these envoys to have any success at all including with this u.s. state department diplomat there who knows president trump may tomorrow call up the

t.m.c. and declare them his friends as they didn't libya so that that could already have happened in fact and we don't even know so it makes it much more difficult to do diplomacy given what's happened right there in khartoum and what's happening in capitals around the world but jeff when you talk about that heavy pressure that kind of dovetails if you will with all the other talk of regional and international guarantors what might those guarantees be and crucially who would be who would be prepared to offer those guarantees. we are living in a day and age when there's more difficult than ever to make any statements of any sort of the liberty or probability an answer to such a good question is that we have everything completely scrambled in the international sphere as of now at this point in mid 2019 we have problems everywhere intersecting crises that really are not likely to lead to how this

a traditionally dealt with when you have the un jump in there with pressure from a security council resolution a visit from a top u.n. diplomat or special envoy i mean there are other un because of south sudan for years different types of u.n. envoy is but they need a big one to jump in there and then without the u.s. basically being able to step in and press with any kind of confidence when even the president himself can turn over the apple cart in the next day the odds are not likely that we're going to see much movement from the t.m.c. they have gotten their aid from the gulf they're going to be a lot personally richer from it and after all that time when they actually allowed the demonstrators to stay on the streets and actually give them confidence that they were going to get something that they were after in terms of all their legitimate demands it doesn't look like we're going to get any of that any time

soon so clearly on both sides of the the the small the debate the smaller crisis inside the country what we're saying is this surely then there are red lines on both sides and no one is even moving towards a situation where they might blink 1st on this. that's right i mean you've got the military spokesperson basically going out of his way to make it difficult for the opposition leaders to go back to their own people and say we've got something reasonable to start these talks with i mean the basis for it is completely lacking the most important thing now is for the envoys and the the ethiopian prime minister to basically say look give them something back off get the talks going again and promise us that you will not take to the streets and unleash force on them any more and by the way we'd likes some form of african union

presence here that could be the only guarantor that might actually get something done but the odds against that are also fairly considerable as a thank you so much. public gatherings have been in a district where 2 people have died because of the. cross the border from the democratic republic of congo where. killed and infected. to discuss developments. where a hospital in. recently attended a funeral in neighboring democratic republic of congo with the boy's grandfather. after the burial.

clear and he didn't say a word during this hearing on his bychowski his lawyer and the play of not guilty to those $51.00 charges of murder 40 charges of attempted murder and one charge on the new zealand's anti terrorism laws he didn't say anything but throughout he smirked at one point he winked a look of real discussed as you can imagine in the eyes of those family members gathered we spoke to some of those family members as they came out they're very frustrated among other things about the length of time this is all going to take to come to trial there will now be a trial of course because he's pleaded not guilty but it won't come to trial until next may such is the complexity of the case so much evidence that the prosecution wants to put and so much evidence that the defense wants to consider because of the enormity and the impact of the charges leveled against him and are there any questions over whether he's mentally fit to stand trial. the work and since his last court appearance

a couple of months ago he's been assessed for his mental capacity to stand trial the judge said there are no issues there he is mentally fit to stand trial and he will accuse asya $51.00 murders they were all taking place within a couple of kilometers of this courthouse cross is only a very small city and what you go in court during this process with a real feel for how effective so many communities in this city have been of course to mosques attacked i mean those 2 most people from muslim communities of all different nationalities here in christchurch there were 10 different interprets it's helping out family members in courts in the roof and in the areas in offices from all the different communities the arabic speakers their policies is there as well and the cool to pains to really guide the families through the process there was a session for 15 minutes before the actual hearing to tell them what was going to happen in the family members were kept back to heart that are off to explain what had happened and where things went from here but family members we spoke to as they came out in the cold were very frustrated as i say this length of time everything

is likely to take in their eyes as you can imagine and i'm not trying to project anything here i think they should be a fairly clear cut case they call it see why it should go on so long but of course the legal process has to play out it has to take its course and these things do take time and is a lot of evidence to consider not least the horrific video footage that the gunman is alleged to have shot himself as he carried out these attacks on the 15th of march thank you. still to come for you here on the news. boris johnson wins the 1st round vote to lead to the conservative party in the u.k. which he breaks apart like in pole position to become britain's next prime minister . also a. church struggling weeks after the kids to something attacks and in the sports news a key player in real madrid's rebuilding plan officially kicks off his career at

a line of thunderstorms that we were seeing over florida and just about everywhere to the south of that is very hot and humid with a few showers around so plenty more as we head through saturday and sunday i think for some of the leeward islands including percent mouth and it should be drawing there a fine day for us a bit further towards the south and so many of us here will be watching the begin to thicken up once more particularly i report is of argentina and didn't see a year ago either system really gets going as we head into saturday the temperatures in what is always. good to drop away as well. brazil a bastion of economic development and a key player can a shifting global order a country that's become an increasingly attractive destination for african migrant workers viewfinder in latin america follows an angolan migrant who turns to music

u.s. border they've yet to turn up on the border which is a little bit of surprise that makes her husband do what it can since really i would say a pro when present president trump started to complain in earnest about people getting through an even frightening to block the buddha we saw migration checkpoints with not just migration officials but also armed forces and the federal police. southern border with guatemala and you heard there oga sanchez the interior minister saying i just don't know how all of these people are getting through talking about the 140 full founds of people that's a search that the united states is saying arriving at their border what we might have a bit of an idea for the interior minister about where some of those people are getting through because we visited a little guarded point a village is really on the mets can guatemalan border where hundreds of people a getting through nightly in convoys have a look at

a report. you have heard of the caravans thousands of people from central america crossing into and through mexico they've attracted international attention and the anger of president trump. but there are other caravans to these ones a secret but over the last year they've almost certainly carried far more migrants than the ones in the news here they are convoys of trucks which head out from a little god to board a point between guatemala. local say they carry hundreds of people and go most nights they controlled by people smugglers each of the charges has paid them thousands of dollars to get to the u.s. border. this one's been cool but it's the exception. is the same from another state police open a truck see the migrants packed inside and wave it on. and this is where it all

off. towards mates. crossing this wide open border on the way in 3 days of going to and fro we would never ask for documents different smuggling groups take over the route as it goes into the territory moving the migrants from safe house to safe house it's lucrative but it's getting harder after pressure from president trump miscues governments tighten security along the border we've got to mother those who know a little of what we're now there's not a lot of movement they still go but it's gone down 50 percent it's more discreet. but it is still happening we staked out the caravan in a roadside field a local contact told us he'd seen the lorries loading up shortly after we saw them heading through followed by several issues these are the caravans of going coast that go in front because it's clear that we've been seeing. just wait for a chance to see it we got the tip off and we just saw

a long line of trucks could cost migrants told us the smugglers usually let them out just before the us border they can then cross and ask for asylum daniel never made it that far the convoy he was travelling in showed up early on his uncle was killed but with nothing at home and for now a way north he's already saving to go again we decided that we had to leave that area off the 3 days reporting on this outsider's view very suspiciously as you can imagine but after we did go a local contact said that my creation checkpoint on the mexican side of the border is now open all of the time so perhaps a sign that authorities are finally taking notice of this quite lucrative. john thanks very much. albania's parliament has passed a motion criticizing the presidential attempt to cancel this month's local election as being unconstitutional president argued that the vote in june would be

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 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 brix it because it's all very well saying we'll go for no deal but that may not get through parliament say you really go she were the 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 resume a did 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 moving generally towards their direction and competing with each other to be more. bracks it 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

u.k. out 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 who put enormous pressure on the labor party leader 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 lawrence lee al jazeera london all staying with political movement sarah sanders leaving her position as white house press secretary massada says she'll return to her home state of arkansas or to spend more time with her children she is the 2nd white house press secretary to serve under donald trump after sean spicer resigned early on in his tenure. now survivors and relatives of the victims of these sri lanka bomb attacks have attended the 1st service since the attacks at the newly renovated st anthony's church in the capital colombo laura burton manley has the story. roman catholic worshippers celebrate my.
