the northeast corner from the forecast point of view still in the northeast corner there still maybe some more protections general area but there's still a lot of cloud of cloud bearing significant rain so still waiting to see the proper monsoon rains fall. in the onshore breeze has become a bit more persistent recently. day but a drizzle every now and again for the rest of rabia since you're still quite hot despite being sometimes current humid in qatar. is a dialogue about it for want to. question. with skepticism because there's a lot of it on my everyone has a voice we are being taken advantage of just because we are a small community without any. help join the
11:05 pm
conversation on out all they want to do is start a debate the same kind of debate that we have here in st. you're watching i'll just recap our headlines now the u.n. now says there were 2 airstrikes on a migrant detention center in libya which killed at least 60 people it says there are also reports guards shot at fleeing migrants and refugees after the 1st attack about carrying migrants and refugees as capsized in the mediterranean near the tunisian town of the disease at least $82.00 people are feared missing to lizzie and red crescent save for people survive to one person later died in hospital

leaders of the theory being community in israel have agreed to end the recent violent protests against police brutality demonstrations began in response to the killing of an 18 year old ethiopian israeli he was shot by an off duty police officer on sunday. talks are the resume between sudan's opposition and the ruling military juncture on transferring power to civilian governments the military has agreed to demands from the opposition to release prisoners and restore the internet because she ations collapsed last month after security forces raided the city in protest killing at least 100 people one un rights chief. said on wednesday she was again distressed by reports hospitals were being attacked during the raids so dan's opposition leader made their bass player the outline the conditions for talks of how any negotiation has to start from the points that we cannot agree on and it is one main point the transitional council it is the point
11:07 pm
regarding the head of the council because both sides agreed to a civilian majority. it was suggested $8.00 to $7.00 and it was then adjusted to $5.00 and $5.00 plus one and that would be 6 civilians and 5 military. we also said that there has to be a deadline to these negotiations we suggest 72 hours the sudanese people and we don't have the space to keep dragging these endless negotiations earlier i spoke to he's president of the sudan policy forum he says the terms of the talks are still unclear when people say the talks have resumed i think it talks have resumed and have not because it seems that they are talking past each other. saying we need to service tentatively agree on the terms of submitting the
11:08 pm
government to civilians and when we speak about substantive terms we mean the government system the rules and regulations that should govern the relationship between the legislative body and the executive branch and the sovereign council this has so far not been discussed at all are they meeting face to face are they actually conversing around the same table. they are meeting the same table but we started a different terms i mean if you look at the team see if. they feel that they need to submit power to the civilians the islamists are going to. think about attempting a coup d'état because so we have to look at the scene near us the scene near you of . the t.m.c. not getting to the gym so the civilians and it which is it which is they would have to make their own government and this is
11:09 pm
a government that's going to like some legitimacy all of them submitting half heartedly to the terms of the civilians and if that happens then the executive branch is going to have enough power to execute the agreed upon russian president vladimir putin has arrived in italy he's meeting pope francis in vatican city they're expected to discuss the situation in syria and catholic off the docks relations and will also meet members of italy's populace government he told the italian newspaper the deputy prime minister that has a quote welcoming attitude to russia and is pushing for sanctions to be brought jonah has more from vatican city. well russia and president putin may not have many friends in the european union but italy is certainly one of them the populist government here known to be sympathetic towards the kremlin is concerns including things like nato is eastward expansion and of course sanctions applied against
11:10 pm
russia since the annexation of crimea in 2014 motto selvi the far right leader now the deputy prime minister here as often expressed his admiration for putin and talk to those sanctions as being quote unquote madness to accept being called to the prime minister who president putin will be meeting during the afternoon behind me has lobbied. russia to be readmitted to the group of industrialized nations now known as the g 7 formally though of course the g 8 including russia until it was expelled in 2040 took a sympathetic ear an opportunity to bolster relations with a key european union economy and opportunistically to try and exploit divisions within the e.u. with a view president putin's view to finding a way of having those sanctions relaxed as well as the political dimension there's a religious dimension of course to this very brief state visit as well he's had meetings with pope francis the 3rd time the 2 men have met amid tantalizing suggestions that this meeting could lead to a papal visit to russia the 1st time
11:11 pm
a pope has ever visited russia with no way of knowing at this moment whether such an invitation has been extended or indeed accepted they would also likely have been talks about conflicts in the world particularly ukraine president the pope has written to mr putin before asking him to end that war and indeed syria the pope under pressure from activists and campaigners to bring syria into the meeting to highlight the need for president putin and other actors in the middle east to end the suffering of civilians in that conflict and all tanker is being held in gibraltar on suspicion its cargo is bound for a refinery in syria subject to us and e.u. sanctions rather british marines and local officials stop the ship in the u.k. territory along spain southern coast the e.u. imposed that oil embargo and several other sanctions against syria's government last month. north korea has accused the us of being hell bent on hostility towards
11:12 pm
it and of being obsessed with sanctions responding to accusations it breached the cap on petroleum imports north korea's mission to the u.n. issued this statement the united states is practically more and more hell bent on hostile acts against the d.t.r. k. it's quite ridiculous for the us to continue its fresh air campaign considering sanctions as a pervasive for all problems it's a marked change of tone from these scenes just days ago and don't trump became the 1st sitting u.s. president to cross into north korea. he met kim jong il in the demilitarized zone between north and south korea and they agreed to resume denuclearization talks. the jocasta has more from washington d.c. . some experts have called trump's impromptu meeting with kim jones and his steps into north korea as the 1st sitting u.s. president to do so a gift to north korea because the u.s.
11:13 pm
got really nothing in return while north korea was bestowed with a certain legitimacy well this statement from north korea's u.n. mission is essentially saying it's not going to say thank you for this shift its statement is accusing the u.s. essentially of talking out of both sides of its mouth while president trump was initiating these peace talks with the north north korean leader members of his ministration at the urging of the u.s. state department was leading an effort at the u.n. to try to get member countries to send north korean foreign workers home and this was in response to u.s. allegations that north korea is violating sanctions against oil imports and in the statement from north korea notes that the u.s. sent a letter to member countries along with the u.k. france and germany that was delivered on june 29th urging for this
11:14 pm
retaliation against breaking the same sions and that on that same day trump had tweeted his impromptu invitation to me kim jong un at the d.m.z. so certainly the fact that this statement from north korea's u.n. mission comes out today is an indication that it's saying things are not hunky dory between the 2 nations after this photo op and that tensions are still high china is warning the united kingdom to stay out of hong kong's affairs and not to meddle in the recent protests britain's foreign office and some of the chinese ambassador over concerns join it was breaking its commitment to the 199-9700 over agreement here's what prime minister it's reasonable you have. it's vital that hong kong's high degree of autonomy and the rights and freedoms set down in the sino british joint declaration are respected i have raised my concerns directly with chinese
11:15 pm
leaders as has my right under from the transect and other ministers and we will continue to do so china is a bastard i condemn britain's government for supporting protesters it has to be pointed out that on this very important issue of a principle the you'll keep the government chose to stand on the wrong side yes i made inappropriate remarks not only to interfere in the internal affairs of hong kong but also to back up a violent law because it even attempt to obstruct hong kong as the our government. form from bringing the criminals to justice. reducing poverty in argentina was president maurice or my crees number one priority when he took office in 2015 but a new study shows as many as 3000000 argentinians of fall on hard times during the

11:22 pm
3. based. on your finances. very briefly. the ruling on monday one thing. that was all happening as hong kong mark the 22nd anniversary of his hand over from british to chinese rule or anger over proposed action to reach the new high as protesters broke into the city's legislative council chambers on monday demonstrators occupy the building for several hours leaving graffiti on its walls and defacing portraits of the city's political leaders the incident marks a new phase in the movement where weeks of mostly peaceful marches have drawn more than a 1000000 people to the streets the bill in question would allow hong kong criminal
11:23 pm
suspects to be tried for crimes in mainland china protesters view the proposal. as a threat to the one country 2 systems principle that allows a city to have an independent judiciary and greater civil liberties. carry lab said that she will let the bill expire but stopped short of demands to scrap it entirely so with us to talk about these issues in home call pro-democracy activists structural one nixie lamb a district cattle and member of the democratic alliance for the betterment of progress of hong kong and also al-jazeera correspondent andrew thomas who's been covering the protests this week from hong kong good to have you with us everybody i am going to start with an op ed piece from china's global times on looking at the opec now i'm going to just show you a little sense of how angry the china global times actually were so i'm going to read it for you we're just going to put it up on the screen say then you can see it
11:24 pm
as they said about the protests let's go to that control room so you can see it this brand of our against that has challenge hong kong's rule of law must strongly be condemn the city should not be turned into a haven for violence using violence to hijack a society like hong kong's is the greatest evil of the modern era joshua when you see that when you see that response to the protesting what's your response. how come people believe in rule of law and beijing believe in rupiah law and with the suppression of beijing was hong kong eroded the one country 2 system to be one country one and a half system people in hong kong might be extradited to china the place with fair trial and rule of law is to show that how no it was of people when 2 out of 7000000 people took to the street and government
11:25 pm
a septa request to terminate it to be immediately the leader of hong kong carol i'm say that's over we will pass the legislation toss says the suspension but the bill we will not terminate it immediately and a bill will just terminated months later which just acknowledge it was some people in that this contents of hong kong this mix a. constituent staff there watching us the following the story as it unfolds in hong kong if you could kind of poll them what do you think they would say about what happened on monday. well what happened on monday we need that i mean when you indicate that the amount of violence we use i mean if you if you could get any close ties in might be not feel violent because they're only thinking of beauty. but and then if you look at home call it always seems that amount of volunteers nexus in the end 7 we will do
11:26 pm
a chinese all realize this sort of like the city so we have this. ideology that we should be places like that when we should have a certain amount of people and not to use too much violence against things and we just we need people the whole color always and the great thing we sold that was passing and things like that but not look like the one that a lot of people were very still including myself rather shocking to see what a break mean and breaking things then bring bring down the would be getting into and at the moment i think a lot of people were very frustrated not meeting of our indians in the city like people like woman very angry with. some of the family members have been ideas they were fighting and some of them not talking to their parents anymore old friends
11:27 pm
what dropping out unfriending friends on facebook and dropping out all of that through because they have different ideas and right on this and for us i'm also i'm just i'm looking at you know twitter feeds here because you know i mean when you were posting for al-jazeera news you also documenting some of these on your twitter feed so looking white that back a few days ago hong kong protests right now and you follow the protests from outside of the i just the chief counsel building all the way from inside and then all waiting for things and but next got here when you were outside the building did you feel that there was a sense of pappas with the protests. we got rid of this didn't come out of a vacuum being these big peaceful marches in june 2 of them both of them are grim 1000000 people there's a real sense among the protesters that they haven't achieved their aims to these marches and that july 1st the anniversary of the handover from british colonial rule see china worse a climax for them but also a climax of those they were trying to target they couldn't get their way on that
11:28 pm
they had all day someone was going to happen and during the course of that they are going to spend 18 hours it's out if he is sincere but let's go to the legislative building right in the heart of the hong kong there was a growing sense of trepidation anticipation as that day went on it was a hot dry day and the excesses were out there for a long long time before they finally broke into that building what the strength of the day was for the vast majority that the police were nowhere to be saying the protesters had been area it's hard to themselves they broke into the building and they then paused for a couple of hours or must. decide what to do but will then go again and it was about an hour after that these paving of the confrontation through again but it was an incredible atmosphere out in the streets one with a new pending sense of x. do is too strong a word but something big was going to happen everybody knew that people have come prepared to see there are no shops there were the hard hats that gas mask leases used to cast the rubble it's the previous protest of that's well and good and the
11:29 pm
protests were expecting to the same or worse this time around so people knew it was going to come to a head and when they finally got these that building i think a lot of the violence you saw and vandalism was about an emotion just spilling over easy young people who just wanted to really make their voices heard but in hong kong there's a lot of debate about whether they want to. one of the most extraordinary pictures that i've seen if i if i made a shot and then you go head west nile hong kong to see now and they showed a picture of the protesters when they were in sight the next of cats what changes. they drank some of the soft drinks and then they put some money in the fridge to pay for them these are not your regular kind of protesters are they they show something a little bit different here even if you're mad about what they did this is how the behaving inside the chamber it's not all graffiti your thoughts. yeah well it's social media or i would be a lot of people in photos from different angles with people those that were showing
11:30 pm
that they're protecting some of. the historical pieces are pieces but in the being within that and then we also see the other photos that they were actually got the steroid and you see photos like that was that it was showing that while we have paid for what was in the bridge but then then you also see that with the whole ritual cleared out that amount of money doesn't really pay well what is that but i mean we get this time it's very different from the p.p. is. that what that was happening like including alcopops central with the a lot of up to kill a that promotion would say but it's a very good marketing can bring i could say if you if you could get past that skewed a lot of the time if you can listen and information that was going on play it out on facebook what's that word on hologram with but a lot of we the thing that was untrue from both thought on not only talking about from your profile but and also from. from the government thought of life well
11:31 pm
government united well let me pull up people are making fake photos and fake news and this and that and in fact you're very frustrating i mean it's the least. but you're also not protesting this late you sometimes get who we just exhibiting random but it's i mean the only building that was attacked was that what i'm going to do next you know i was in the building right next door it was completely up to the on touch so. it was not going to get on the symbolism of it like oh yeah i was going to stores and i was. i think the whole time from i'm just just excited here just how tight from a we can include just when in the conversation is it an important element of this conversation obviously just go ahead yeah i want that one should buy to get off the legislative comes. 2 days ago i was saying none of the violence exist
11:32 pm
during the action to storm into the beauty of course people might have different understanding on the differing mission of followers but the fact is none of the staff of the legislative can so and police force have been physically assaulted by a protester and the reason for protesters that already did have been there is because you might be reactivated but again in the legit at the same time i hope people could aware that hong kong people more than 70 per cent of them urged the government to terminate it immediately but governments do acknowledge their worst and the legislative council of hong kong now for all of the lawmaker will practically let i say let me share this with you nic see i'm joshua this is from donkey kong on twitter and she says opinions among pro-democracy people might be divided and you can hear that between i guess here as some insist on peaceful actions but many including myself never blame the protesters but understand that in
11:33 pm
despair and suicidal after all the peaceful ways we're attempting joshua this is not hyperbole here they're happening protesting this who have taken their own lives can you tell us what is really on the line why would they go so far. to expected everyone around the world could agree on all of that behavior of protester especially during the storming action to the largest it comes to beauty but why is free activists suicide because they are hot and depressed and cannot see the future of hong kong i hope people can understand that . for 10 percent of the population of hong kong joined the rarely last month to show the power of people which means 2 or $7000000.00 people just imagine if in washington or in new york or london sorority per cent of the population joined are
11:34 pm
rarely with in the same day and governments do not it was even the chairperson of the a.b.a. the parties that we slam belongs to the chairperson also claimed that she she agree to the largest probation party agree to withdraw this extradition judge i'm going to her so how do i don't withdraw from my mic i'm just going to take baby steps for this because you want to be deep deep into the politics of hong kong and as an international community we're trying to stay out with you but this idea of the protesters may be disagreeing with each other is really important and i know you spoke to protest as after monday just to get a sense of how how was a feeling after they stormed that actually council chambers and that divided feeling amongst all the people in hong kong about whether what they did was
11:35 pm
justified i'm just gonna play a little clip from them and you can pick out from the clip as let's have a look another older protester thinks that by not intervening earlier police deliberately allowed violence knowing it would reflect badly on the protesters even so he too feel the ballance against property was justified high all it in are you coming my generation failed to do enough for the last 20 years i've got children i fear for them it was violence against property not people we need to keep the protests on the. go ahead. well the professors are split to be honest and most of those are spoken to since say that the procedure was justified they make this very important distinction between damage across you down to neutral they said that they had a strategy that it's all king on social media beforehand to not hurt anybody even if he's going after us to make them the bad guys we're not going to hurt anybody
11:36 pm
and they got into the building and they were being stopped and i think some of them now feel that once they were inside they went too far perhaps they should have broken the windows yes got into the legislative chamber so symbolic room and perhaps sat down but not as much damage as was done even some of those frankly who did some of that damage feel that in a while this perhaps got the better of them and then there are these conspiracy theories that this was all intended by the government that the government wanted to get whipped up what's there to get in because if they did what they did then that would reflect badly on them and them in the battle of public opinion which of course is all important in hong kong they would lose some of that support and certainly some of the us claims in hong kong do think back to that which you are and are now more suspicious of the post of their aims in the sort of people that they would be campaigning on the site where they are to the pseudo same names how they say that that's not a majority by the professors and most of them say even if we have lost at the margins some of the mainstream is at last it was worth it it was worth it partly
11:37 pm
for the symbolism of that building but also they're not naive they know the real cost is out of their c.n.n. b.b.c. the new york times all of them will not be paying as much attention to the protests on monday it is just they need another peaceful march remember that order being 2 and you channels were rolling us by the hour 6 hours 7 hours in some cases all of those marches but they were rolling news on those protests when they turned violent riots and now that we've seen comments from world leaders all over the place talking about what happened in hong kong they don't think the nickelback kind of tension how do you think here the east. yeah. exactly joshua was talking about the chief executive talking about the extradition bell this is the spot top these were new protests i wanted to hear counted on and what she said about this extradition bail a few days ago have a listen. just not true to say the government has not responded.
11:38 pm
we have not responded to every d.-ma and asked because of. good reasons now 1st of all if the cause of the socio tensions that we have seen is a bill to amend the fugitive offenders ordinance on the 15th of june i have announced the suspension of the bill. and subsequently we have explained and elaborated by suspending the bill at this point in time with no timetable and no plan to resume the debate of the bill in the legislative council i'm reading between the lines that just sounds like harry this vote is going to be allowed to die out is just going to die but she doesn't want to say it at and i want to share this with you because we have 2 questions in for you specifically so kagan pressing she tweeted in spanish what we translated to everyone in the world is watching hong
11:39 pm
kong and the radical youth are learning from you and that's you joshua i have a question what is the final objective of the demonstration the resignation of independence i hope that the young people of hong kong get it ahead. i'm not the ones for independence for free election is a must for hong kong people. he just lost that let me just go back to another question what trying to get him back for the end of the show he's a true legend by just want to ask him why the chief executive is still in power they need to change that she has some influence and support in a foreign country's nixie will she take on terry lam still being in power after all of this chaos that's happening in hong kong right now. basically she created the mess used to really do with it's not really that right now and or.
11:40 pm
and. that it's my view on. that but and then i want to go back to the earliest earlier part of the band though to be written into that was the 1st building that was damaged or thought of the headquarters of the police who would actually go back to new day or be the 1st would belie. that. they were badly injured to spray paint and they were there were there a lot of policemen were locked down we've met of days and also bureaus in there and they're not letting the police cannot even get out of there have been injured and at the same day early morning all order a violent break in in the lead. up a lot of people are actually attacking the well we we are a lot of the police. are also what a lot of boeing. makes a decision change the way that you fill the public and your constituents looking at
11:41 pm
the protests this. is influencing them. a lot of people well there's a lot of there will. i really respect them big big going and they've been and what you. mentioned earlier. what about him now and i hear yeah i hear you play if you have a home really well one of the things that we're always curious about on the string recovering protests is what do the protesters want this is what we gathered as we were listening to their demands in the election of council chamber we listed them and i'm just really intrigued andrea just go ahead just put them up there control room so that we can read them for so we've got the full withdrawal of at the extradition where we talked about that the retract the riot characterization so this is seeing these protesters as rioters while other than as peaceful protesters they want to also have the release of the arrested protesters investigate police
11:42 pm
brutality of own nixie will maybe not agree with that one and the resignation of carry law would have tweets in about that and she was a very clear as you were covering the protests what the protesters want though they all as one working together look. demands if you like that they just put up on the screen are what they were asking for and they were they were also right that a sense going further and they were saying these are symbolic things that we want to achieve at this stage but this movement has got lex's government remember in hong kong what 5 years ago now the slowdown brotherhood you know which cool but much rooted democratic on kong and the months of sitting around st central area of hong kong that frankly didn't achieve very much especially they ended up this late now that's what the protest is now feel is that they have to start with a state some of them publicly they have achieved something these extradition proposals are going full steam ahead and now that be taken off the table and to the
11:43 pm
honest it's almost a matter of semantics this difference between those proposals expiring as current and says they will happen a next time in about a year from now when they formally we want it all on a state that hind of could amount to the same thing but for the protesters they want the symbolic victory of a formal withdrawal but of course at the same reason they carry lamb this exact it isn't going to give them that will draw because that would be a full defeat but they protest this have achieved something they've got these expeditions they are both was taken off if not forget that certainly for the long term but they feel like they're on a roll and a lot of the other them aren't really us doing the previous protests the investigation these groups ality for example the characterization of the previous protests as a protest and not a riot riot carries specific and presents that if you're accused of being a writer and prosecuted and go to prison for that lets a 10 year prison so that's why the protectors don't like that characterization but
11:44 pm
is that a quarter of let's who demands it's actually built but then that's sort of put in the door of a group of democratic reforms that scott got so what has he got just 2 at bat which is really just in time to address something that yuen chan chan who is a senior lecturer. the city university of london wanted to bring up to you joshua and she was talking about the way that the protesters may have to front few point and maybe the authorities in hong kong are using that to break up the movement have a listen to what un had to say some far i think the strategy is failing because on the whole a lot of our callers are supporting these young people even if they don't condone their actions so i think going forward the most important thing is going to be how to preserve the unity of the least. josh or how do you philocleon well the movement is doing right now is it in
11:45 pm
a healthy state or not just preaching love to move to erode on a star. poll course we are not satisfied on suspension of bill because hong kong government could easily reactivated to be you inside the legislative cum so to be wouldn't be installed by protester 2 days ago that's the reason all youngster to took action i understand is hard for everyone to a step or busy the behaviors of protester so just i mean i hear that and also i want to point people to your twitter feed because you clarify you put into context what it is that you did and why you did it let me just show people here so they can actually look at it and you say they're wild i want to say a few words about what happened yesterday but in a word because people are going look at that threat because it's a very impressive in a word what is the healthy state what is the state of the movement in hong kong. well. we will continue with our with spirit and determination all told the long

11:50 pm
a dramatic turn in the past few hours now iran has summoned the u.k.'s ambassador in tehran over what it calls the illegal seizure or and the radiant oil tanker earlier in the day the british navy seized the vessel off the coast of gibraltar the iranian foreign ministry has called the move destructive but the u.k. says the ship was carrying oil to syria in violation of the e.u. sanctions well spain's foreign minister says the operation was carried out at the request of the united states i mean that alan moore's. here stop it naturally we are aware of this operation police patrol boats were guarding the area but we are studying the circumstances in which it happened it was a demand by the united states to the united kingdom we're looking at how would a fix our sovereignty because it happened in what we understand a spanish waters. or paul brennan is live for us in london but 1st let's speak to
11:51 pm
dorset jabari who say in a terror on the door so what if we've been hearing from the arabians on this. well the arabian foreign ministry spokesperson upmost mousavi has just been on the phone given an interview to state television here where he said that they are seriously considering the options and the repercussions of such a move by the british government at the request of the americans the foreign ministry spokesperson tweeted earlier that they have called the british ambassador into the foreign ministry to protest what they call an illegal act now as far as we understand it this crude oil ship called grace one tanker was heading to bunny else refinery in the mediterranean port city of tire to sit in syria and it was seized thursday morning now the radians were quiet about this until the last hour or so where they said that this is in fact the new raining oil tanker although we've
11:52 pm
heard reports that it was carrying a panama flag they said that this is legal we're still waiting about clarification about how the iranians view this as an illegal act of course the syrian regime and bashar al assad have been on the e.u. sanctions since 2011 and this is one of those things the oil shipments have been sanctioned so we want we're waiting to find out more from the iranians but that aside this comes at a very very sensitive time with less than 3 days to go before that nuclear deadline for the e.u. to respond to the rain in demands this act by the americans the british government will certainly be seen as a volatile one here. ok thank you very much a door so jabari that we will of course be crossing back to door so when more comes available from let's talk to paul brennan who is in london for paul been hearing from door so there's still no clarification from the arrhenius as to why they
11:53 pm
believe this to be an illegal seizure what are we hearing from london. ok we are having difficulty with paul brett in just snow but let's stay with this warheads see our guests a minute attack and he's an international oil and energy consultants and say former research officer at opec in vienna he is joining us now live from london. thanks so much for talking to us here and all dizzy or iran saying it's illegal seizure do you think this is something which constitutes a legal seizure well i know or this is an international mareena legal issue which i'm no expert but it seems to be as the spanish authorities have said somehow a request or an order by the united states tried to to use the arms of your own
11:54 pm
that ask the europeans to bring this tanker to port so that is my understanding from the news and of course as iranians and the owners of this oil they would be upset but i don't know anything more than that and spain are saying that this comes after a request from the u.s. to the u.k. to stop the time care does this suggests that this act is about syria or that it's part of this year's pressure strategy against iran. well this isn't a political analysis and one can interpret differently i am no expert but this type of trading and tankers moving a to b. in spite of the sanctions on iran have been going on for a long time you don't with under sanctions some years ago and the time was united nations sanctions imposed on iranian oil exports and if you don't manage to explore that are the 1000000 or more than a 1000000 barrels per day this time they say it is tight here and so on and maybe
11:55 pm
$500000.00 barrels per day it means that iran is exporting oil differ in ways and means to customers around the world and this is one of them and i presume that the authorities who track tankers within europe others they already know these it must have been a change of political balance somehow europeans have been critical of united states and prison trum that left the e.u. nuclear agreement j c p o 8 there which had been aggravated by 6 countries china and others and members of security council europeans are upset that unite the state the prison term lift the disagreement last year and it is the u.s. is putting pressure on europeans also to discard disagreement and they are upset they are trying to find ways and means to at least help iran to get medical
11:56 pm
requirements purchases do trade the u.s. banking system and treasury are blocking so there is been this resistance by europeans against the u.s. pressure and maybe in this case europeans want to give a little wary to the u.s. pressure in this case they're using the sanctions story which has been by europe since 2011 on syria with an excuse to confiscate or hold this is maybe and let bill let me explain. but we're still waiting on a lot of details coming coming in from this mr taking but just in lightness about the shipment itself how normal which say a shipment of this size a's we understand the ship was carrying some 2000000 barrels of crude oil is it usual to send that volume of oil.
11:57 pm
around the world but it went right in the rain in the south of africa my understanding is is this is this a usual way to transport oil. no the route is not usual but the least large tankers vienna cc's very large crude carriers ultra large us cities and so on are normal super tankers that are going around the world all the time the using and transporting crude oil and some of the smaller ones transporting petroleum products from a to b. if you look at the globe there are hundreds of thousands of lines crossing each other and this is one of those you see now you know are being under pressure and the united states believes are and trying to use that are more of iran of course the iranians try to find a way that means to bypass it and export their oil and the fact that they did not go through suez canal and went around from africa around the good hope
11:58 pm
south of africa and coming back it may be just getting it weighed to avoid being tracked by the u.s. or others but these are of detail shipping techniques and ways of doing this it is not unique is not the only one there are other countries which are their sanctions and they do the trade and they find ways and means that iran has been has done it in the past on their united nations global sanction iran did export for 2 or 3 years it's all they did list quantity but it did and this time denied state is saying that it is tighter sanction and so on so the answer to your question is about the details of these logistics and mouse cat and mouse game and so on which has been going on on top of this global geo political issue that you could say as i repeating that the europeans who had been critical of the united states president this time maybe they are doing a little bit green frog or every person attitude towards the united states and the
11:59 pm
u.s. treasury by getting this ship coming to the port in gibralter as the spanish authorities have said the united. kingdom they deny stench authorities have said that it was a request by the united states yes and thank you very much i missed it 2nd i'm sorry to cut you off but we do appreciate your thoughts here thank you very much indeed said let's see if we could last back to al-jazeera is paul brennan he is also in london for a support whiff in the hearing analysis interpretations of what could be behind this means has there been any more details from the the u.k. governments about this seizure of the oil tanker. or the foreign office the british foreign office has just sent me an e-mail saying that the ambassador in tehran is currently meeting with the iranian or thora he is with the ministry for foreign affairs in tehran where he will reiterate the u.k. government's position and that is that they welcome the firm action to buy the
12:00 am
gibraltarian or thought authorities to hold the european union syrian sanctions regime so the government very firm and very supportive of the person they're very supportive of the job brought her in our thirty's or actually carrying out this operation i can say that downing street has also welcomed the operation saying the . successfully carried it. sends a clear message that violation of the sanctions is acceptable and whole we have been hearing certainly the. details from the spanish foreign minister there saying that this was done at the request of the u.s. leading to speculation is this by the is this about the the e.u. sanctions on syria or is this about the us is pressure campaign on iran which are 2 distinct issues.
