to break up protests against the territories embattled governor. now iran says it doesn't want to see a confrontation with the u.k. over the seizure of a british flag boyles hanka the u.k. is demanding that the vessel and its crew be released and once a european led naval mission to ensure safe shipping through the strait of hormuz the stand off will be a priority for the incoming british prime minister this week tipped to be boris johnson. maybe. it would be him. i think it is very important for border strums as he and. 10 downing street

who understand that iran does not seek confrontation iran wants to have normal relations based on mutual respect but the u.k.'s foreign minister jeremy hunt says the tank a seizure is an act of state piracy that must be met with an international response our lawrence lee has more from london this emergency couldn't have come as a worse time for the u.k. and the ministers who left the crisis meeting all know it's apart from anything else they'll be a new prime minister this week probably with a different take on the situation. still the u.k. can do nothing in the face of what it regards as a provocation by iran the way in which the capture of the u.k. flecked tanker was filmed by the commandos who took control of its refusal to obey the demands of the british frigates in the strait of hormuz to let the time to go

all cut very deep at the heart of a british military establishment used to the days when britannia ruled the waves and consequently the foreign secretary told parliament minister the u.k. would seek a european led maritime missions of the gulf states because iran had to understand so to consequences of its actions if iran continues on this dangerous path they must accept the price will be a larger western military presence in the waters along the coastline not because we wish to increase tensions but simply because freedom of navigation is a principle which and its allies will always defend the british government has been widely accused by many m.p.'s of having no take a strategy over this crisis with iran let alone the naval fire to protect tankers in the gulf now there are concerns that this administration has taken its eye off the ball and certainly that the u.k. has been ill prepared for this iran certainly appears not to feel intimidated by the u.k.

putting out images of the tanker crew none of them british maintaining their all in good health and being looked out it is far more concerned about getting his own tanker back from gibraltar where it remains impounded if the u.k. did that's the crisis would be over but it would be the wrong signal to send to the americans who continue to pressurize london to follow their hostile line with tehran by wednesday they'll be a new prime minister here by thursday a new set of government ministers and by friday very possibly a new strategy towards iran may be a more hawkish one than the one on monday and one which is more aligned to the american position but iran knows that the u.k. appears quite weak at the moment and by itself does not have the strength for a fight barnsley al-jazeera in london. well you know we spoke to jason's a demo he's an executive director at the north american maritime ministry association he says the crew out ordinary people course up in a terrible situation in our association we have around north america things called

seafarers centers when these seafarers come they come and visit them and this particular ship had visited one of our seafarers centers down in houston just a few months ago and certainly they were a typical crew and they wanted to to get off enjoy life they have a long hard week weeks of work and so when they when they visited houston they were happy to have shore leave and certainly now this is a terrible time for them it's something to know that they do come from from different countries i believe there's 4 different countries among the over 20 crew and these are hard hard working men they're they're there to make a living just to do to do their job on board ship and this was no doubt very traumatic for them to be caught up in this certainly they weren't expecting it none of these crews and many many ships are expecting it so it was very it was and probably is a very traumatic for them most most ships are flagged and in different countries

and crude and out of other countries there are some of the largest flags are flying like panama or marshall islands or or other other flags like that in the these are all very high quality flags they have they're very rigorous in their in their safety and and how they're operated and i think this is this was. a real shame and it's a real tragedy for the crew but also then for the family their families back home and yet another escalation iran says it's arrested 17 spies working for the cia and sentenced some of them to death u.s. president donald trump though called the announcement totally false and says he's becoming less inclined to renegotiate the 2015 new play deal. one of the best things i've done is terminate that ridiculous deal if they want to make a deal it's frankly it's getting harder for me to want to make a deal with the run because they behaved very badly they're saying bad things and

i'll tell you it could go either way very easily very easily and i'm ok either way it goes. now the u.s. government says it will allow immigration offices to deport undocumented immigrants from anywhere and america without knowing them to appear before a judge fast previously the fast track procedure only applied to those detained within 160 kilometers of the border and who had been in the u.s. been less than 2 weeks president donald trump has struggled to deal with i have a crowded detention facilities at the border with mexico and the growing humanitarian crisis in jordan has more from washington d.c. . this change in u.s. deportation policy is just the trumpet ministrations latest effort to crack down on what it says is an immigration crisis primarily from central and south america the plan would change the authority that immigration officers have to immediately deport those persons who are in the country without the proper documentation as of

right now they can only deal with people who have been inside the united states for fewer than 14 days and who are found within 100 miles of the u.s. border this plan if it does take effect on tuesday will cover the entire united states and the people who could be affected may have been in the country as long as up to 2 years immigrations rights groups say that as many as 300000 people could find themselves being targeted for this immediate deportation plan and they say that they are planning to file lawsuits to keep it from taking effect these groups saying they're worried that people who have permanent residency or who are u.s. citizens may find themselves being kicked out of the united states without legal recourse and something that would be a violation of their rights these groups further saying that this latest effort to crack down on what the trumpet ministration calls illegal immigration would be

blackout and he says venezuelans don't care about who's to blame they just want the power to return. blackout hit whatever 75 percent of the country including the capital caracas and now in a time of speaking there are some such in the country where electricity has returned including the area i live in however in the capital caracas there is still no electricity. most going to sway windsor not really interested in leaving anyone more interested. and i know having to live through this again most benefit walen really do not believe that governments take on things but also do not believe the opposition takes a take on things unfortunately most venezuelans would probably say it is some sort of combination of the 2 factors the government the blaming and electrical magnetic attack against the national grid the same reason they blamed for the march and april blackout on the opposition of blaming government inefficiency and lack of

investment in the infrastructure now the 2 equations are not necessarily mutually exclusive but at this point the blame game is really a growing trend people are really looking for solutions now protesters demanding the resignation of pressure we can't govern are refusing to back down. as you can see. in a campaign break up outside because there is a as residents in san juan. we've been to disperse the crowds following day long demonstrations on sunday was there said he won't seek reelection but also i wouldn't quit his and i reports from the capitol. hill the streets in overwhelming numbers puerto ricans more determined than ever the 10th straight day of protests by far the largest. leading many famous puerto rican dishes

for forgiveness that's ok but he needs to respond for what he did it's unprecedented the number of people out here on the streets this started as a protest against the governor and it still very much is but also has grown into something much larger the feeling of most here is that now is the time not only to demand a new governor but also a better government i mean here because i want to fight corruption in my country it's been many years that people have suffered the consequences of corruption and it's time that the young generation stands up it's we cannot say like old we're scared of the future like my parents and some people are afraid of change and it's normal that we have to tell the government that they have to have a social commitment. with health and education thousands of people shut down the main highway through the city but the road ahead purported ricoh now more uncertain

high court finally ruled that the demolitions would not be halted it said the owners had been given enough time to comply with the law and to tear down their own homes. these houses are permitted by the palestinian ministry of local government now the permits are being violated by the israeli occupation forces this military doesn't care about international law or human law and doesn't respect or care about any human ethics. activists groups and the palestinian authority say they're worried a precedent is being set they say israeli authorities could use the military rule to demolish more palestinian homes. we didn't know we had to be too. 50 meters away if i knew i wouldn't have built it here why should i have built a house of my future the house of my dreams i didn't build it to have it demolished . under israeli law owners like it's male who refused to tear down their homes have

a year since 2007 climatologists say europe now needs to get ready for a neg of fires catastrophic events that kill in black and large areas and are hard to stop or tom burke is the chairman of the climate change think tank eat 3 g. and he says fires fit into a broader pattern of extreme weather events. the picture is coming through pretty clearly and not just fires there are also hurrican and floods as well so there are a lot of extreme weather events which are exactly what the scientists told us was going to happen so they were starting to see is governments politicians at least paying attention but they're not translating that into really aggressive enough action to stop the problem getting worse several things that can be done 1st of all i think you've got to keep people and forests apart so where it's appropriate as for instance in that great greece thing you don't let regulated developers take place in vulnerable forest areas you also need to make sure that your emergency

services are properly funded and that means basing the for the budgets not on what used to happen because we've changed the baseline so the problem is they're going to need much bigger budgets than they've got now because this problem is going to get worse. medical experts are urging the proles government to resume testing of fruit and vegetable imports from india for harmful pesticides this month that reversed a decision to introduce compulsory tests under pressure from its neighbor sabina stressed are reports from kaplan. there's an investment in central bench to market these traders say sales have gone down drastically in june government decided to make pesticide residue test mandatory for imported fresh vegetables and fruits around 44 percent of fruits and vegetables consumed in the park comes from india but not every food and some has pesticides if pesticides are problematic why produce them last year india banned $66.00 pesticides that are outlawed in other
