well to change course and move towards iran no captain wrestle would do that unless they felt threatened so whether the one shot fired or something similar we have no evidence for yet but it would suggest that was quite a compelling reason why the meeting or while in kabul is head of policy and the analysis at the arab center for research and joins me now here on set good to have you with us again marwan the message that seems to be said from tehran is that if iran can't have its way or if iran can't sell its oil no one else is going to get in either absolutely iran has already lost more than half of its oil exports by since the imposition of the u.s. sanctions and the message by the iranians is that we will not be tolerating any attempt to stop the remaining. both of our oil exports and by other nations or other countries so this is why if you if you sees one of our ships we will seize your fuel i mean this was the message i think they

are wrong as are saying there will be a price actually for that so they are trying to put pressure on other nations not to do this not at all. especially because we know this that your blood and said it actually was because of the u.s. pressure on the on the british government in order to seize that ship which was supposed heading towards towards syria so that was clearly the message by the iranians of course you know this counters the north sea the developments of the u.s. president's talking about setting up a special maritime protection force for merchant vessels this all sort of the rhetoric and the scenario that there is no way these 2 sides could even talk to each other at the moment well i think that this incident this sees this is a british will indeed strengthened our position of the u.s. president trump because as you said he's calling for the establishment of an

international coalition or a coalition of the willing. in order to protect the freedom of navigation in this threat of mars. but on the other hand we should actually also not is that the americans especially a president is not very much keen actually on having the sort of military confrontation with iran his strategy from the very beginning was try to put as much economic pressure on iran as possible in order to bring it back to the table of negotiation and have his or indeed the tom de concerning iran's nuclear. program because it she simply doesn't like i mean the deal that was made by president obama by his but this so i think he's so far not really interested in any military confrontation with with your arm but the problem is that as the push out of my lap and as attention s. . between the 2 nations there's also or there's also always the potential of miscalculation between between the 2 sides for example that the couple of weeks ago

it could have the downing of the drawn by. could have developed into a military confrontation but as i said i mean the 2 sides would like actually to have a diplomacy in order to solve the crisis when you talk about the fact that you know the u.s. president of the administration was for economic pressure on iran yet you know we're also seeing the military pressure the military deployment pressure as well in directly coming from various. other sources in terms of that the fact that there's a small american contingent heading it's making its way to saudi arabia over a decade after american troops left the country to be special advisers there obviously but having a small contingent actually sends a very large message does it not to iran and to regional neighbors that america's looking for support from absolutely this is part of the pressure because the administration strategy was we will not allow iran to even the act to the u.s. sanctions because i mean the president trump he put the sanctions on iran hoping

that the iranians will actually. submit so when the iranians actually did not do that and started to be active they were special by attacking tankers in there and. in the state of her mind seizing the pitch yesterday downing drawn so you have actually to include you a little present in the region not just to send a very strong message to the iranians that we will we will put this sanctions on your but we will not allow you on the other hand to be act this is something that the onions will not accept because oil exports are very very important for the iranians and they cannot really survive without that which is the what happens for the moment when kabul good to have you on the program for your analysis thank you thanks. plenty more head here on the al-jazeera news hour including learning to walk again and how a group of therapists in ethiopia are changing lives for patients one step at a time plus. she speaks only their language. domination

of a pleasure. any minute and yahoo is israel's longest ever serving leader but how much longer can he last. the rough ride for some of the big names in golf in the open brown will have his details in sports. tens of thousands of people are marching to the u.k. parliament hoping to persuade the next british prime minister to stay in the e.u. organizers of the march for change say they want to send a pro europe message to boris johnson the man to become the next prime minister and stop the brics it chaos barbara our correspondent joins us now live from parliament square in london where he's at that march and and the team remain is making their presence felt and certainly their voices heard.

that's right so here we're not seeing the huge numbers hundreds of thousands that we saw in the last march but perhaps that was due to timing that was right up against that supposed deadline but there is a large crowd gathering here in parliament square is called a march for change this time they're also saying no to boris johnson the man who everyone thinks is going to be the next prime minister who said that he's prepared to leave the european union without a deal will to discuss this a bit more i'm joined by no you know me straight from best for britain namely tell me a bit about who's represented here today and what the main aim is there are hundreds of thousands of people here today from the press the u.k. he's a graphics activist today isn't about much in critical states if a demonstration to say native forests and yes to here it has been even a very very worried that the prime minister whereabouts haven't faced enough next week isn't just the planning for this of the nation half the stuff it fresh out kind of right. a lot of the program people will tell you that there was

a general election in 2017 in which 80 percent of voters voted for parties which said they would implement the result of that referendum so where is the democracy that democracy is in the fact that in 201754 percent of the it says parties that explicitly rule out no deal from the manifesto and here we have 2 candidates but the front runner most said and the other. advocating crushing answer on the fact that the ok but without a day out and closing out havoc on our economy denying young people opportunities and potentially even putting the security at risk and we heard in the last week or so that there were a number of conservative ministers who might vote against the government if it was looking like a no deal given that that would trigger of course an election might not prime minister johnson suddenly suddenly start to think about really. goshi a chicken pot so they could be a deal in the rear future something that you are against the e.u.

has been pretty firm on this they said that they will not open the way to an agreement and of course theresa may fail to get a vision of the deal through parliament on several occasions unless the e.u. all going to give some concessions they want to give may i think it's highly unlikely you need to have any chance of getting a deal 3 not least the process of labor and somewhere if a bit worried about potentially one thinks a package deal i'm very very skeptical that when push came to shove they would end power for strengths and allow him to deliver price and then centrally buy back to the country research thank you very much geared toward what will be following this throughout the day it's very hard to predict exactly what will happen in parliament but so for now thanks very much today in the debugger in the divorce. been explosions across the emmons couple center after a string of some of the year he led air strikes we do in saudi arabia says a coalition jet fighters targeted who the military turns destroying their defenses and missile storage sites there are no reports of casualties but it comes after

a series of drone attacks from yemen's who the rebels are targeting airports in the south of saudi arabia passmore from some of. the have targeted the. what is known the 21st park which has been which has been used as a military camp for a long decades also they have targeted a military camp to the north of the capital sanaa as well. made many people here in the capital start to wonder why the saudi arabia has targeted. the capital sanaa after a long period of nearly 4 more over one month they haven't resumed their targets on the cover the sun are is even during the whole of these attacks are on the saudi vital economic anomic targets. what we have found also that the

whole of these military spokesperson has released their be have targeted the saudi king gear. base in jaime's more shades in the tally ation to what he described the saudia on the different yemeni civilian areas so we couldn't confirm who started the even the saudis or the you hold these about but so far the attacks that have been that have taken place in the capital sanaa have been resulted in any casualties because we have targeted. military comes which have been the same targets for saudi fighter jets for over 4 years. there is some breaking news coming out of iraq the suspect who allegedly shot and killed a turkish diplomat in northern iraq has been arrested ankara says 27 year old a muslim dog killed at the region's deputy consul general and 2 other people on

wednesday and he's believed to be a member of the armed kurdistan workers party or the p.k. k. the group is deemed a terrorist organization by turkey and the united states will try to bring in more on that as we get it. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has become the country's longest serving leader with more than 13 years he's the past israel's founding father david ben-gurion netanyahu survived scandals crises and conflicts winning election after election even though the country is growing more polarized bernard smith has more from west jerusalem. i to his supporters benjamin netanyahu has kept israel safe and prosperous maintained its jewish character and boosted its standing internationally but his opponents say he's ruined hopes for peace with the palestinians and tarnished politics with a culture of corruption he called talk of it and you know legacy in but by pointing

at one thing but what we have seen into neo's years in office is a much more gradual shift towards taking the palestinian issue off the agenda is row quietly but constantly warming its relations with the major arab sunni states. netanyahu 1st became prime minister in 1996 beating being combin shimon peres by less than one percent of the vote. he won on a platform of opposing the oslo peace accords with the palestinians although when in office he continued implementing them and even met his enemy the palestinian liberation organization chief yasser arafat. netanyahu now considers the oslo accords no and void and with who many say is the most supportive u.s. president israel has ever had there's no pressure to make peace with the palestinians the embassy of the most powerful nation on earth our

greatest ally the united states of america. it's an embassy. i think that can be i don't want to say singlehandedly but i would say most significantly it will be remembered as the person who managed to destroy the chances of peace and to plunge the whole region into. extremism of confrontation of violence and instability because he speaks only the language of power nation of oppression. but perhaps. some of netanyahu is greatest challenges are yet to come after winning the general election in april he failed to form a coalition so another ballot sched jewel for september and netanyahu is due to be indicted on corruption charges he's accused of accepting gifts from wealthy businessmen and granting favors in return for positive media coverage the prime

departments are understaffed and under resourced another factor is that tribes don't have jurisdiction over non-native americans for all crimes there but a lot of concerns that the federal agencies don't respond that they don't take these crimes seriously a lack of evidence is the main reason federal officials are declining to prosecute crimes on reservations that shouldn't be the end of the discussion. there should be then a ok let's see well i'm wrong in this case why the is no evidence or why the evidence isn't but now and make sure that that's not happening yet.

follow me. this area was once known as a no go area you had to seek permission to visit here today we got our identity and freedom everyone here is celebrating and healthy that after the merger they will get the jew rights which they were deprived of. foghat gone of course still fated the challenge of having i located. in order to build it just for the 1st time in the history of the tribal areas there now they are celebrating this day is in one independence day off pakistan it is now people they are hoping for the arbitrament of the lives now that. it is really much peaceful for the people of their tribal area they did a new beginning and of course david be pinning their hopes and expectations on the representatives from the radio political parties and also independent candidates to take their problems to the provincial assembly budget gone have taken

a major step by merging tribal area into the type of book while province and the government now also had to give their tension in order to direct this region which has been empowered patient and of course left behind the rest of the country the people of course right now be hoping they did indeed a new beginning and a historic moment levels of the political establishment is concerned the constitutional powers given to the prime minister are being undermined by politicians allied to iran the prime minister's post has reserved for that community as part of a sectarian power sharing agreement senator reports of a route. to ground the seal is at the center of lebanon's latest political crisis he is the foreign minister and also the son in law of the president the head of the christian political party and along with his ally hezbollah he controls parliament and cabinet and some accuse him of using those powers to undermine the

country's sectarian based power sharing system all of the. approved simple things is an assault on the status quo which was founded by the top court so the scene is trying to find as a new place for a strong christian leader. christians once dominated lebanon's politics the civil war changed at the time if accorded $989.00 removed powers from the christian president and gave them to the sunni muslim prime minister seals free patriotic movement party say they are claiming back what is rightfully theirs we have what we have in terms of parliamentary presentation of your representation confessional. presentation so it's just that we're taking our part in the system before christians were marginalized so this their their their power thought. that was going to others. prime minister sidle head is in

a weak position he lost parliamentary seats in last year's elections partly due to a new alec torah law that critics say favor his rivals and his traditional allies saudi arabia has lost influence here saudi arabia played a key role in brokering the tough agreement which was named after the saudi city where it was signed a lot has changed since relations between lebanon and saudi arabia have been strained by the growing political influence of the iranian backed hezbollah and its allies in lebanon hezbollah was not a political actor 1st signed and its ally father in law president michel aoun refused to recognize the deal and was forced into exile me really which is a huge crisis it's not easy to make changes to the time for court it was the outcome of 15 years of war and any amendment could start another war which no one wants. but there is already a new reality and it won't be easy to shift the new balance of power in lebanon.

beirut. the secretary of state has praised argentina for declaring lebanese group hezbollah a terrorist organization. where he attended a ceremony to mark the 25th anniversary of an attack on a jewish center which left 85 people dead argentina has blamed. for the bombing both deny any involvement speaking at a counter terrorism summit promised greater u.s. corporations and commitment in the region. saying in the region in nicaragua it's the 40th anniversary of the triumph of the revolution that toppled the tate on the stars you're samosa in the capital supporters of the governing party fill the main square to celebrate but for many a crank ewan's the party and president daniel ortega have betrayed the ideals of the revolution that they fought in the home and has more. bad at the moment when they could i was send them east the rebels finally triumph entering the capital my now we're after toppling

a dictator. in the same day 40 years later they're back to celebrate it in troubled times now the sandinistas seen by many as the repressive ruling power president and former rebel daniel ortega called for a divided nation to come together. i mean what's the road to be able to work study have health care have highways to get people out of extreme poverty what's the fundamental condition peace people need peace to work and live. for those not with him it brings hollow mollen child with the sundin easters that she feels will take a betrayed the revolutionary cause long ago. i wonder if. they keep mentioning peace that this concept of peace they talk about doesn't correspond with reality because today there kidnappings of people have gone up and murders of innocent people it's shameful a state of impunity and criminality under this government. president in the

eighty's will take has been back in power for the last 12 years they've been marked with accusations of nepotism and growing the authoritarian ism. since protests broke out last year hundreds including marlin cho have been thrown in jail civil groups and media have had their offices ransacked and demonstrations and so we've been banned. so on the day of the anniversary the streets were left to the sun than. easters government supporters are all in numbers in the capital they say that the opposition a little more the right wing coup mongers and point to the things the president take is done especially for the country's poor also feels like so many of the sympathy and i'm 100 percent on the mr my house fell down in an earthquake and the president ordered for it to be rebuilt and say. we are here to celebrate with our command because he's the only one in history who is worried about the people

housing health education isn't there the t. shirts read here no one is giving up in a country in turmoil it seems the mood even on this anniversary is on survival rather than triumph john home and al-jazeera nic and i were the world health organization has warned countries bordering the democratic republic of congo to be on high alert for a bowler the arrangements he declared the latest outbreak an international health emergency on wednesday a rare designation only useful survey epidemics more than 1600 people have died from a battle in democratic republic of congo in the past year. physical therapy for physiotherapy has also known as is considered a luxury in ethiopia there are very few therapists available to treat tens of millions of people and even though not all of them are qualified they harding reports from the capital addis ababa. rebecca needed a cluster legs in a land mine explosion she's a refugee from south sudan and was sent to add as

a buffer physical therapy treatment now after 2 years she's learning to walk again . when we came to ethiopia they welcomed us we came because of the crisis now we're waiting to learn how to use these artificial limbs this is the 2nd time for me to come here. ethiopia's physical therapy program is just getting started and the demand is staggering with an estimated 105000000 people in the country there are only 7000 doctors a physical therapy but give an example here was one of the 1st the hands up program started in 2002 in going to see i was among. the students to enroll into this program and after 10 years or and took them down to the stockton program i was also the farthest thing in order to this program so for sure i feel like playing a part of this profession 3 doctors a physical therapy work at this clinic in alice abbott and treat patients like

rebecca others are scattered across the country as of now they're graduates from the 1st and only doctor class in ethiopia mohammed hussein is another patient he had a stroke and relies on his rehab to move again. i suffer from this and was shocked when i found out there was physical therapy here i thought it was a luxury not this i feel awful that's one. of the services here are free paid for by the government but when we visited there were a few patients getting help at the clinic one of the biggest challenges with physical therapy in ethiopia is lack of awareness most people don't even know that facilities like this exist but even if they did there still aren't enough therapists to treat everyone and he said the misconception existed in most parts of you know country because not only physical therapy can have to since obviously is considered a luxury that some of the physically disabled are often reduced to bed.
