outside the army headquarters but claims protesters for violence and the breakdown in talks. the man accused of killing $51.00 people in the new zealand mosque shootings denies the charge. and secretly crossing into mexico will tell you how central american migrants of dodging border security. the united states is deploying a naval destroyer to the gulf of oman after explosions hit 2 tankers washington is blaming iran for the incident the us secretary of state mike pompei o gave no concrete evidence but says it's based on intelligence britain has backed the accusation from washington however iran says the allegations are unfounded mike hanna has more now from the united nations in new york proceedings at the u.n. security council were dominated by the news of explosions on board 2 tankers in the

gulf of oman the session was shuttled to discuss cooperation between the league of arab states and the u.n. but most speakers reacted to events in the gulf including the un secretary general facts must be established and responsibilities clarified. and they for that is something the world cannot afford is a major confrontation in the gulf region. a thinly veiled accusation of responsibility was made by the arab league secretary general. of a moderate some parties in the region are trying to instigate fires in our region and we have to be aware about. the russian ambassador insistent that this is a conscious strategy to undermine diplomatic moves aimed at reducing tension in the gulf and you know pretty much what it's a little loosely would it would there is a need to come together to achieve one of the most important goals before us today you know launching regional dialogue into the stablish in a security architecture in the persian gulf we're currently according to our view

the tensions are artificially fueled and inflamed around iran if you rejected at the u.s. state department where iran was directly accused of responsibility for the attacks this is sesame this based on intelligence the weapons used the level of expertise needed to execute the operation recent similar raining attacks on shipping and the fact that no proxy group operating in the area has the resources and proficiency to act with such a high degree of sophistication working the acting u.s. ambassador to the united nations was osce by the secretary of state to call for an meeting of the security council and law enforcement. as not just the latest attacks that were in discussion behind closed doors the overall king question is whether all parties to the longstanding dispute with iran us and syria in their publicly stated preference for a peaceful diplomatic resolution. iran rejects the u.s. accusation that attacks on shipping lanes are part of its widest strategy in

a regional power struggle if so then the question remains who is responsible mike hanna al-jazeera united nations understood pearl looks at how the incident unfolded. 2 tankers badly damaged in the gulf of oman raising tensions and oil prices iranian t.v. has been showing what is believed to be the tanker front all tear which had $23.00 crew on board carrying petrochemical products from cats are in saudi arabia to east asia the other japanese own ship the kuta courageous with $21.00 crew was shipping methanol to singapore its management says it suffered whole damage but is not in danger of sinking both when the gulf of oman the entrance to the strait of hormuz where much of the world's energy supplies are shipped through every day. the initial report was all time cast sailing from the straits of hormuz to asia came

under attack after that apparently another boat was attacked so all ship tried to maneuver but 3 hours later it was attacked again it became too dangerous to stay on the tanker so our crew members abandoned it using a lifeboat. both iranian and american ships responded to the tankers distress calls sent within an hour of each other on thursday morning each rescuing crew members who have banned and shipped. japan's prime minister happened to be meeting with iran's supreme leader in tehran trying to reduce tensions with the united states the iranians say the timing is certainly suspicious rather than coincidental. today the issue of security has a special importance either in the state to the breach in of the persian gulf or middle east and all around the world and we have been making if it's to protect the peace and security of the region and over the last few years practically we have proven that week here about the security of our neighbors and all other countries

iran also denied accusations of involvement in the saudi led coalition at war in yemen has attributed blame for thursday's attacks without providing evidence i think it is a major escalation if we look to what been declared then and now is by the iranian regime. lately about how they will close the. strait and if we look to what's happening in the bubble meant that and also in the south and. see how the i hope the there are 3 thing the line of sees and the international trade and we could nick those terrorist act we can say yes they are connected and there is a huge. of course there is this cliff and by the. as experts begin investigations to find out exactly what happened in the gulf of oman it could take some time to establish who is responsible but washington appears to have already made up its mind and chapelle al jazeera. well gregory gause is

a professor of international affairs who specializes in the gulf at texas a and m. university he says even if we exclude iran's government numerous act within iran cannot be ruled out. we're dealing mostly with speculation the united states intelligence community is very leery about revealing its sources and methods and thus i think it will be unlikely that will get much hard evidence in terms that would compromise how the united states received this information so i think that we're going to be dealing in a in an atmosphere of imperfect information going forward on this and it comes in the wake of similar attacks on tankers earlier and so it seems to me that this is a much more sustained operation and i think we shouldn't rule out the possibility that that there are actors within iran who there are numerous actors in iran this

might not be the iranian government as we understand it the president the cabinet there are actors in iran that report directly to the supreme leader like the islamic revolutionary guard corps that have acted on their own in foreign policy in the past and so none of these neither the iranians nor other actors in the region state actors in the region are completely united in terms of their policy actions either sudan's ruling military council has admitted it did or did the dispersal of a sit in protest outside on me at courses these are pictures of the violence and caught in the that have just been released to the internet blackout there now the operation to clear the protests has resulted in dozens of deaths hundreds wounded the military has expressed some requests over the incident that he does ship of the joint has resisted calls to hand over power to a civilian government saddam's military has again blamed the protest groups for the breakdown of the talks on a transition to civilian rule based on improper. what is delaying the

negotiations is the false understanding for civilian led government that this is something that even you in the media have been wrong in identifying and 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 we insist that the military is the sole guarantor for peace and stability in the transitional phase ok

let's take a look at where we stand as of today in sudan there has been a stop 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 because of mediation efforts by the ethiopian prime minister and days after a visit a top u.s. diplomat for africa at the head of the t.n.c. on thursday. has called on the military to withdraw from khartoum and to stop attacking civilians is an independent investigation into the crackdown on the city and by the army headquarters. he omar is a member of the u.s. house of representatives she told al-jazeera sheil that washington has shown its double standards by failing to engage with saddam. this administration. is handling our foreign policy that i think is where you notice these extreme hypocrisy that that have existed and might have existed but now are

very clear they're they're not gray anymore it's very black and white and so in the case of you could see black and white between our reaction in to so than and then our reaction to venezuela. where we have a developing story for you here on al-jazeera who see media in yemen saying they've carried another attack on an airport in the southwest of saudi arabia the 2nd time this week who these say they've used drones to target the airports near the town of hummus machette it's about 100 kilometers away from the yemeni border. we'll get you more on that developing story just as soon as we can. the man accused of murdering 51 people in the new zealand mosque attacks has appeared in court by video link and denied all the charges he's brinton tyrant he faces 51 counts of
