if. the u.k.'s conservative party prepares to announce who will replace to resign may yes but mr johnson is a front runner for the top job. hello i'm daryn jordan this is al jazeera live from coming up. if iran continues on this dangerous path they must accept the price will be a launch of western military presence. and more tension in the gulf as the u.k. calls for the media release of an oil tanker on friday.

to break up the territories embattled governor. and the trump administration announces it will fast track deportations of undocumented migrants. in the coming hours will find out who will become the new prime minister of the united kingdom to reason may be holding last cabinet meeting before the conservative party's next leader is announced boris johnson or jeremy hunt will be taking over the top job from wednesday live not to westminster hall joins us jonah so just tell us how things are going to unfold for the winner today. later on in the morning the winner of this conservative party leadership campaign

it's been going on for several weeks now will be announced it's expected to be boris johnson probably quite a handsome majority for him over jeremy hunt the foreign secretary and then of course mr johnson will prepare himself to go to the palace on wednesday to meet the queen and then to start the business of forming a government making it all essentially official because he faces problems no shortage of problems inheriting a situation left behind by theresa may that is fundamentally unchanged in fact if anything and in many ways even more difficult in terms of getting through the bricks that he has promised to his party do or die come what may that involves a deal or even no deal on october 31st and in the last couple of days a string of preemptive resignations by senior cabinet ministers have given him the sort of lie of the landscape if you like terribly bad optics upon which to start even though most of them would have been sacked anyway 7 they include in the

chancellor justice minister the international develop development secretary will go off into the back benches and become extremely influential opponents particularly of mr johnson's no deal breaks it in the weeks to come as i think a very rocky start for johnson perhaps his only saving grace is that parliament goes off on it some a break on thursday what he will find that when it returns at the beginning of september whether indeed 11 image or if he left is another question yeah. i'm going to be immense both at home. yes what i mean at the moment of course going into this. brics it leadership campaign. announcement we're about to have a new prime minister and possibly indeed dealing with the early stages of what could develop into a conflict in the gulf with iran jeremy hunt he's likely to lose as i said he's

also likely to lose his position as foreign secretary but making what could have been his final intervention on monday in the commons saying that he and britain seeks to deescalate the crisis with iran but announcing that he wants to put together this european led maritime protection force to protect shipping in the gulf and through the strait of hormuz after the capture of those 2 vessels last week. hiran essentially knows that it's dealing here with the tail end of a government job as the reef name checked boris johnson in his press conference on monday saying that iran does not want confrontation tell boris johnson this well a single defining factor as to what britain might do next what boris johnson might do next i'm afraid could well be the extent to which mr johnson is minded not to do a parliament wants necessarily but what donald trump would like him to the right edge on the whole there in westminster jonah thank you well as turner was saying there one of the key challenges facing the new u.k.

prime minister is to contain the ongoing tensions with iran bars dunstan's tipped to be the new prime minister tehran says it doesn't want confrontation with the u.k. over the seas of a british flag in the gulf last week. i think it is very important promoted johnson at. 10 downing street who understand that iran does not seek confrontation iran who have normal relations based on mutual respect well the u.k. is calling for a stronger western military presence in the gulf u.k. foreign secretary jeremy hunt says he wants a european led naval mission to ensure shipping through the straits of hormuz well that's where iran sees the bushes flooded old tank on fire there claiming it was violating international maritime law the u.k. is calling it an act of state piracy lawrence lee has more now 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 the 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 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 the coastline not because we wish to increase tensions but simply because freedom of navigation is

a principle which britain 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 power 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 a fight lawrence lee al jazeera in london. kenya's finance minister is due to appear in court in the coming hours accused of fraud and corruption and he wrote it is the 1st sitting government minister to face such charges he's alleged to have been involved in awarding contracts and payments for the construction of a hydroelectric dams and it's only unknown company 28 people have been arrested in connection with the case. at least 3 people have been killed in nigeria's capital abuja that's after violence broke out between police and a group of shia muslim protesters police say one of those killed was an officer who tried to stop protesters from vandalizing property the demonstrators were calling for the release of. the leader of the islamic movement of nigeria. a gambian soldier has accused the former president yeah john mayer of ordering the

on health centers and water supplies in breach of international humanitarian law attacking civilians in opposition controlled areas has been a tactic used by the syrian military repeatedly over the years. but the rebels are refusing to surrender they are on the frontlines defending their territory and what has become a costly campaign for the leadership in damascus and their allies in moscow the government has lost nearly 1000 men and hasn't taken any significant territory. syrian government forces were aiming to push the rebels north and recapture international road links to revive trade between government controlled cities that didn't happen in this 3 month bombardment more than 300000 syrians to abandon their homes and move closer to the border with turkey. this has become a disaster city more than 90 percent of this population had to flee to camps further north those who don't have cars or money had to stay here god help us. an

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 would 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 another way to enable racial profiling particularly in immigrant communities in the country heartland the trumpet ministration has been leaning on. in mexico to stop central american migrants from making their way to the united states washington says it's happy with mexico's efforts so far that top diplomats are due to meet in another 45 days to evaluate progress but critics of warn the crackdown could lead to human rights abuses by the overlap of the 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 in your disappoint that mexican foreign minister marcello abroad has

consistently repeated. the deployment of national guard troops as well as our enforcement of existing margaret law have led to a 36.2 percent reduction in the flow of migrants. 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 just before i came here we talked about the progress we've made on migration with them to. the trade could point out the 404045. they've they've made real progress but this is the idea that 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 promised to guarantee the rights of asylum seekers here 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 are fleeing 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 when i set up a low mexico city. but testers demanding the resignation of puerto rico's governor

say they won't back down. police are fired tear gas in an attempt to break up the protest outside ricardo assails residence and someone officers moved in to disperse the crowds following day long demonstrations on sunday also yours said he won't seek reelection but wouldn't quit the protest began after the leak of offensive messages between the governor and members of his inner circle gabler's under-reports in the capital san juan. 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 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 seen 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 gov 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's 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 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 we cannot say like oh luck 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 rico now more uncertain than ever. san juan. most of venezuela has been plunged into darkness in a major blackout the government says some of its opponents some atocha station opposition leader one why don't blame the government spending to invest in the

national grid many fear repeat of the chaos caused by power cuts earlier this year . dobson is a political analyst in the area hit by the blackout he says but is well instant can about who's to blame i just want the power back on the blackout hit well over 75 percent of the country including the capital caracas now and as it's a time of speaking there are some sections of the country where electricity has returned including the area i live in however in the capital caracas there is still no electricity at this point most going to sway lin's are not really interested in leaving anyone they are more interested i was told in the situation and not having to live through this again most benefit walen really do not believe the government take on things but also do not believe the opposition takes take on things unfortunately most venezuelans 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 and the opposition are blaming government inefficiency and lack of investment in infrastructure now these 2 equations are not necessarily mutually exclusive but at this point the blame game is really a growing trend and people are really looking for solutions to greece now where the new government is proposing tax cuts saying it will create more jobs and bring an end to the financial crisis that but critics say oh well the conservatives have a majority in parliament they'll find it hard to achieve what they're promising john psaropoulos reports on and. 10 years ago just before the global financial crisis wrecked the greek economy underwood's took over his father's chicken he stopped selling to wholesalers and launched his own brendan distribution and is expanding into frozen pies his turnover increased 20 fold to over a $1000000.00 and his payroll has risen from $4.00 to $25.00 people and the root

years some say that can't be achieved with tax cuts alone. or both of those tax cuts can help take my small company cutting corporate tax from 29 to 20 percent lowering social security contributions and subsidizing them for young workers all this allows me to hire one extra person who we need once you buy that the entire economy it makes a difference but other things are needed to. accountants a very few businesses show any profit because of high tax and red tape a recent study showed that less than 5 percent of businesses pays 80 percent of course. tax the rest pay almost no taxes to make the economy sustainable economists say as well as tinkering with taxes the new democracy party will have to confront bureaucracy and resistance to change in the state and that observers say will take huge political courage jumpstart ople us al-jazeera for. medical experts are urging
