some other like. iran tries to reduce tensions as the u.k. calls for an international naval mission to the gulf. and this is al jazeera live from cairo also coming up the trumpet ministration announces it will fast track deportations of undocumented migrants. plunged into darkness venezuela's government blames an almost countrywide blackout on sabotage. and how a policy used out on fruits and vegetable imports and nepal could be harming people's health.

now iran says it doesn't want confrontation with the u.k. over the seizure of a british flag oil tanker 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 johnson. starting a conflict may be easy ending it. would be impossible. who ever starts a conflict ever starts tensions ever starts a war may not be the one who ends. i think it is very important for boris johnson as he enters. 10 downing street to understand that iran does not seek confrontation iran wants to have normal relations

based on mutual respect but the u.k. is fine mr jeremy hunt says the tank is seizure is an act of state piracy that must be met with an international response how correspondent lawrence lee has more from london. this emergency couldn't have come at 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. flight tanker was filmed by the commandos who took control of it's their 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 the 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

the 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. not because we wish to increase tensions but simply because freedom of navigation is a principle which brazil and its allies will always defend as the british government has been widely accused by many m.p.'s of having a no dig 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 after 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 fights lawrence leigh al-jazeera. and yet another escalation iran says it's arrested 17 spies working for the cia and sentenced some to death u.s. president all trump though called the announcement totally false and says he's becoming less and inclined to renegotiate the 2015 nuclear deal one of the best things i've done is terminate ridiculously and 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 behave 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 undocumented immigrants can now be deported from anywhere in america without requiring them to appear before a judge fast previously the fast track procedure only applied to those detained within 160 kilometers of the border and been in the u.s. for less than 2 weeks president has struggled to deal with overcrowded detention facilities at the border with mexico and the growing humanitarian crisis. is an independent journalist and political analyst she says the move could give more power to immigration agents and there are growing fears that people will get deported by mistake. probably astray should be your meeting those were a couple of years. when they 1st talked about it in 2007 the lawyers and the

activists this would be a vast increase in the number of the eventually partitions if they were meant essentially what they're going to do is allow individual agents to act as judge into judge people with all the mistake that kind of court when that happens no indication agents are net capable sometimes of the french between somewhere he doesn't have their papers with them for example. or someone with a citizen it's been within cases where there's been serious mistakes so this is just another step in the truck coming straight forward to the court more and more people of the. tribe present tromping so to cater to his base who was. essentially wanting him to act on immigration stronger more stronger and stronger and stronger every day. most of them as well and has been plunged into

darkness in a major blackout the government says opponents sabotaged the palace station opposition leader one quite 0 is blaming the government for failing to invest in the national grid many fer a piece of the chaos caused by power cuts this year. given that how does it affect me in every way i live on the 11th i don't have electricity i don't have water because without electricity you can't be pumped i can't buy anything with a debit card i don't have any cash but i get up when i'm hungry and i want to eat but there's nowhere to swipe my card because none of the machines work with the financial crisis i can't even buy a hotdog with cash when i spoke to paul dobson and he's a political analyst at venezuela analysis start com who is in an area hit by that blackout he says that as well and started care about who's to blame they just want the power back on. black outs used to 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 point most going to sway loons are not really interested in relating anyone they are more interested in the situation and having to live through this again most benefit whalen really do not believe that government takeover but also do not believe the opposition takes a take on things unfortunately most beneficial and would probably say it is some sort of combination of the 2 factors that governments are blaming an 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 these 2 equations are not necessarily mutually exclusive but at this point the blame game is really drawing to an end and people are really looking for solutions protesters demanding the resignation of pressure

because government refusing to back down. have tried to get in an attempt to break up protests outside the town or is a is resident in san juan offices we've been to this past the crown's following day long demonstrations on sunday right there said he won't seek reelection but also wouldn't quit camping out on that report from the capital. they filled the streets in overwhelming numbers puerto ricans more determined than ever the 10th straight day of protests despite far the largest ricky martin leading many famous puerto ricans dishes and athletes supporting the protest. but it was the every day puerto rican sprott together in their desire to see a new government we're here to show everybody what we want you know what is it you want done him to resign him is governor ricardo. who on sunday night took to

facebook to again apologize for hundreds of pages of private text messages leaked more than a week ago where he seemed crudely mocking the very puerto rican people who elected him to come up with new. to each puerto rican men and woman i have hurt you and i hear you today i have made mistakes and i ask for forgiveness i am a good man who has great love for my island and for everyone. he refused to step down only fueling more anger on the streets these god our governor is taking everything that we're proud of we need him to step down he did something he asked for 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 oh we're scared of the future like my parents and some people are afraid of change and it's. we have to tell the government 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 for puerto rico now or uncertain that ever. sidewalk. still ahead on al-jazeera a corruption crisis hits kenya's government with the finance minister or face unprecedented charges. the man gets ready to wave goodbye to downing street

here in doha on siesta often it will feel humid it will fill up the close should be dry but it is going to be sticky one into the gulf of aden well here we have got a little more cloud some showers a possibility into that western side of yemen for a time fair bit of cloud too just around southern parts of amman some parts of south africa seeing a fair bit of cloud as well some welcome right coming in here over the next day or so some really wet weather some blustery conditions as well cape town 14 celsius it should clear 33 wettest a telling a little more showery elsewhere across the region it's fine dry and sunny. and just you know we're close to god just to calm down the try. to rely on their expertise sneak. like now from their traditional music

and down to adapt and survive modern. practice 10 feet down series a mountain. hello again i'm. reminded of the news this hour u.k. foreign secretary jeremy hunt is calling for a european led naval mission. stepping through the strait of hormuz it's a response to iran the seizure of a british flag oil tanker last week. most of venezuela has been plunged into darkness after a major blackout the government says opponents sabotage the palace station but the

opposition leader is blaming the government failing to maintain the national grid. and the u.s. government says undocumented immigrants can now be deported from anywhere in america without allowing them to appear before a judge fast. but the trumpet ministration has been leaning hard on mexico to stop central american migrants from making their way to the u.s. but critics have warned the crackdown could lead to human rights abuses by new reports from mexico city. over the past 45 days mexican authorities have stepped up a crackdown on migrants through an increase in immigration officers and the deployment of 1000 national guards troops to mexico's northern and southern borders . on average more than a 1000 migrants are now being apprehended in mexican territory every day so you notice and notice a point that mexican foreign minister marcello abroad has consistently repeated.

the deployment of national guard troops as well as our own enforcement as existing margaret law have led to a 36.2 percent reduction in the flow of margaret's. by showing the trump administration that immigration numbers are down mexico hopes to meet the conditions of a july 22nd deadline on a deal that removed tariff threats on mexican exports to the u.s. but i spoke to mr broder i just before i came here we talked about the progress we've made on migration with them to. the trade good word out there 404045. they've they've made real progress but this is what the strategy of cracking down on migrants the deployment of military forces and detention of asylum seekers in southern mexico have also sparked concern among human rights groups immigration experts warn all of this contradicts mexico's own it national policies which promise to guarantee the rights of asylum seekers or mexico is sandwiched between 2 contradicting expectations logically this creates

a complicated problem because you can't please one party without upsetting the other and in any containment measures for migrants there is a chance that human rights abuses that negatively affect migrants will occur having met the conditions set by the us in reducing migrant numbers mexico has also avoided the so-called safe 3rd country negotiations the country has been avoiding as part of the agreement with the us mexico plans to continue the current strategy for another 45 days while also calling on the us to invest in a more sustainable approach which includes a development plan for the countries migrants who flee mexico committed $30000000.00 toward development projects in el salvador last month but without a strategic international development plan that includes countries like guatemala and honduras were a majority of migrants originate experts warn that a policy of containment alone will not be enough to solve the migrant crisis went up in low and mexico city. kenya's finance ministers due to appear in court in the

public prosecutions has ordered for their arrest of $28.00 people including employees of the italian company that was awarded the contract investigators say the costs were inflated by a $170000000.00 and raffia quarter of the total money has already been paid out. this is a high of a not the only public scandal in recent he has other multibillion corruption scandals in government have prompted protests like this one in the past several government officials have ongoing cases in court i think at the end of the day worth noting he needs to up and is going for the d.p.p. go the extra mile with a d.c. i and i better leave it to in front of the people were just arrested for ceremonial purposes there are people arrested taken through the process convicted and when they're serving time by bus. they still go back to me. but the taxpayer i mean it's the most high profile arrest of

the conflict in kashmir the president has met pakistani leader emraan khan at the white house trying to also said the u.s. could restore military aid to pakistan mike hanna reports from washington d.c. . the pakistan prime minister arrived in sweltering summer heat his prime aim to thaw what has been a chilly relationship with the united states and president donald trump in particular in the past trump has accused pakistan of not doing enough to crack down on terror groups but in recent months islamabad has been active in securing face to face talks between the u.s. and taliban leaders and president trump is now apparently willing to set differences with pakistan aside in the hope that it can secure a safe withdrawal for u.s. forces from afghanistan i have plans on afghanistan that if i wanted to win the war afghanistan would be wiped off the face of the earth it would be gone it would be over in literally in 10 days and i don't want to do that i don't want to go that

route there is no military solution of those going to the solution because as mr president says if you go all over the military there will be millions and millions of people who would die as the leaders apparently also saw common ground in their relationships with the media in a way to get away with using no the way you treated worse than a. surprise offer to from president trump to mediate in the kashmir dispute this he says at the urging of the indian prime minister but a spokesman for india's ministry of external affairs quickly rejected the offer from the white house the warmth of the meeting indicated the leaders had come a long way since the trolley for weeks change that occurred shortly after iran can became prime minister last year and of great importance to the pakistan prime minister was president trumps formal acknowledgment of. the critical role that pakistan has played in advancing u.s.

interest in afghanistan. the decision to renew u.s. military assistance to pakistan is still on hold but president trump made clear it's a possibility. that's likely the 1st matter on the agenda in talks between military leaders of the 2 countries taking place at the pentagon and the pakistan delegation may well feel optimistic about returning to islamabad with tangible benefits from the visit my kind of al-jazeera washington now the u.k. is near leader is expected to be announced on tuesday he'll take over from theresa may has had a bumpy ride as prime minister for failing to deliver breck says and leaving a country deeply divided the debugger looks back at may's time in downing street. relaxed smiling and promising to make britain fairer 3 years on does anyone remember this to resume a we will make britain a country that works not for

a privileged few but for every one of us. the former home secretary came to power knowing the process of leaving the e.u. was her biggest challenge but we believe that with this in mind. but aiming to deal with social and racial inequalities as well she was also the 1st leader to visit president trump after his election although the relationship was never the warmest from the start though she sought to define what bricks it should be and quickly announced a deadline for starting the 2 year e.u. divorce process without cross party consultations and we now know against the advice of senior diplomats there were people in the labor benches who were almost sick in their hands up waving saying i won't talk to you caroline flint's leeson and is that and the rest of them and she ignored that for a long long time because she wanted to. carry the conservative party with she should have realised that that was a no nonstarter after negotiations with brussels got going made surprised most

people by calling an early general election hoping to boost her small majority and promising one thing above all strong and stable leadership strong and stable leadership strong and stable leadership it backfired horribly she lost her parliamentary majority making getting any bricks it deal through almost impossible to survive her conservative party joined forces with northern ireland's democratic unionist party pro breaks it hardline us. beyond westminster despite her attempts to laugh at herself to resume a never really connected with the public in the same way as boris johnson the man she appointed foreign secretary only for him to resign over her breaks it deal and undermine her efforts to win parliamentary support public sector she was also weakened by episodes like the party conference speech where everything that could go wrong did go wrong. well before her decision to step down critics said the wheels were coming off her leadership with hindsight you could argue it was tories

amazing flexibility which i did have premiership increasingly she found herself backed into a call. not just by hardliners among her own party. but boy her own red lines even her own catchphrases which is made famously kept repeating no duis but do i think. you realize that's actually not the case and the fact that the prime minister and indeed. the british public now see no deal is the best option whatever happens next the one issue that reason is the one that will dominate politics here for the foreseeable future which is relationship with the european union. al-jazeera. high temperatures and strong winds are making it tough to extinguish wildfires raging across central portugal about $1000.00 firefighters are battling the flames and some locals are blaming a lack of resources and government action for the fire damage well outside europe
