israel's treatments after they were critically excuse me of israel's treatment of palestinians trump says it would show great weakness if the visit was allowed to go ahead. joining us from west jerusalem to 1st tell us what is really officials are saying about why they've decided to block these 2 congresswoman from visiting. well yes the only official statement we've had on this so far has come from the israeli deputy foreign minister tzipi out of valley and she was speaking to the public broadcaster can and during the interview she said that we won't allow those who deny our right to exist and tree into israel now that's certainly one reading of the views of eleanor and russia to tell you but one which i'm sure they would entirely reject indeed russia to leave was speaking to c.n.n. just over the weekend and she in that interview she very.

unarguably said that israel did have a right to exist although she has been criticized by some on the right in israel for talking about a one state solution in the future what i think we have is a great deal of pressure coming from the u.s. administration. the white house to make this decision there was a report of that over the weekend and trump has broken cover in this tweet saying that it would show great weakness that these 2 hate israel and all jewish people just last month israeli ambassador to united states ron dermer was saying that they would be allowed in that it was seems a good thing for u.s. congress members to have access to israel for despite whatever the views that they held were so there's been a big flip flop here from the israeli side benjamin netanyahu has an election coming up presumably it does him good on the israeli right to make this kind of decision potentially he sees some some extra u.s.

assistance or potentially further u.s. approvals of various things coming up which might help them in that election but there are many jews in america who vote democrat there are many pro israeli voices who are concerned about the effect that this decision might have long term on the. partisan nature of u.s. alliance with israel and as you say harry the belief is that trump has some want to do with this decision that pressure from him led to israel's decision but. are we getting a sense of how involved the u.s. administration was in israel taking this particular decision against to congresswoman. well those are an exclusive report on the x. ers site over the weekend saying that trump had made a very similar comment to what came out on twitter today in private to the israelis

saying that it would be weak for. them to allow in people who who espouse the the boycott divestment and sanctions position saying that if if they want to boycott israel and israel should boycott them and as well as that we had this trump tweet come out well in advance of the official israeli statement coming from the deputy foreign minister has a very so i think it's fair pretty clear that there's been a good deal of u.s. pressure either trump was trying to increase that pressure with this tweet or he already knew that the decision had been made in favor of what he was advocating we have had some response from u.s. democrats elizabeth warren the u.s. presidential candidate saying that it would be a shameful and unprecedented move and not further israel's cause to be seen as a tolerant liberal democracy forward to make such

a decision that was of ahead of the of the official announcement so we see that this is already playing very much into the u.s. political scene and trumps reelection efforts so i think it's being proposed here very much as a gift from netanyahu to trump or if it also may have some short term political gain from that in yahoo but as i say a lot of people are concerned about the long term implications of this move ok harry foster thank you. several people have been killed in an exchange of fire between pakistani security forces across the line of control in kashmir and for more on this we'll cross over to her new delhi shortly but 1st we'll go over to. and pakistan administered kashmir for the latest from osama bin what are we hearing on the pakistani side about this incident.

all right apologies we seem to be problems with osama bin laden. we will try and bring him on as soon as we establish communications with him let's cross over to new delhi so the indians are denying any casualties even though reports claim that there have been deaths on both sides. well we haven't yet officially heard from anybody in the indian government. on this incident at all what we have heard is has been reported by one of the indian news agencies and they have courted an unnamed indian official saying that to this official has denied any casualties taking place on the indian side but also said that there was a ceasefire violation it took place in the sector in jammu in india administered kashmir and the indian army retaliated in which 3 pakistani soldiers were killed

all the information coming at this moment is coming we had this agency no indian official has officially responded to cease fire violations act all in general cease fire violations on the line of control are pretty regular but if in fact these deaths have occurred and an indian officer does respond it could be an escalation to certain extent we don't know yet we have merely speculating as we know that during this time tensions between india and pakistan are already very high so it would be important to see how and when the indian government actually responds the only response to that from an indian official today happened short while ago when the principal secretary of the state of juggling kashmir with a indian government said that the celebrations of independence day today went without any incident and the prime minister himself has been addressing the issue of kashmir on india's independence day.

that is correct prime minister said quite a few things when it came to me and in fact the major point that he made was a t's managed to do in 70 days of his 2nd tenuous prime minister that no other government no other prime minister before him could do also implying. that perhaps other governments wanted to do things wanted to get rid of the special status that was granted to the state of jammu and kashmir but could not because that in and the courage to do so he also spoke about how the surplus of development in the state of general interest me and in the month of october a global investor summit has been announced in st i got a watch we don't know is when will the indian government actually lift off the destructions that have been imposed in the bush meat rally and if this investor summit will actually happen at a time that it is still under lockdown and people a lot of will to come out whether people will actually come out and support this global investor summit i think that would be quite a big test what prime minister will be india's from mr has been stressing is the

reason behind his decision thank you for that update from new delhi let's now bring in some of and once again he is joining us from. some or so what are we hearing on the pakistani side on the latest incident on the line of control. 3 in the pakistani military has confirmed that 3 of its soldiers died in this latest escalation and ability saying that it was an unprovoked incident of shelling from across the line of control the language divide this disputed region and there's been damage to property and there has been intermittent fighting that it's continued all throughout this morning we've been hearing from local sources as well and there are a number of civilians have also been killed and injured in this attack what really have been seeing a closer to the line of control as we visited these places is that people have been living under constant fear the fear that these this type of incidents are going to

become more regular as it has happened every time tensions have escalated between these 2 nuclear neighbors saying that it in retaliation killed 5 indian soldiers the indian government has not commented on it and the official indian using in the end i have denied that claim so it is the biggest death stall so far that we've seen after the 5th of august that's when feminist and there in the room or the government removed which we used pressure status and pakistanis meanwhile have been holding protests in solidarity with the kashmiris on the indian side of some. yesterday in 15th of august the indian independence day it was declared as a black day and pakistan and pakistanis not just inside the country but also abroad have been holding protests there in the morning we saw people coming out in various cities holding back odds and protesting against what they call the grave violations

of rights in dish near. india and also across the across the globe you heard from people who are protesting outside embassies and consulates when such protests was held in london where some government ministers as well as an advisor to the prime minister in run convent there by mr brown himself came to this region for the 1st time just 24 hours earlier and warned kashmiris that intelligence reports suggest that india is planning something he did not elaborate what but he did refer to an incident which happened in february where there was a cross border. attacks and india blamed that incident in order on pakistan all right thank you. chinese security forces are gathering near the border with hong kong as antigovernment protests in the territory continue so these pictures from reuters

show them in the border city of shenzhen as you can see beijing says they are conducting exercises on wednesday night police dispersed the territory's latest protest this time it took place outside a police station earlier this week demonstrators managed to shut down the airports and the rest president donald trump has weighed in on the crisis so he's offering talks with chinese president xi jinping and is urging she to go to hong kong and personally meet demonstrators who has more from hong kong. people in hong kong are aware of the troop movements across the border ancient saying but you don't get an impression that anyone is in a state of panic is a certain general sense of anxiety because everybody is a certainty facing this place but that said china is sending out a message that message being we are here and we're actually very close at those

pictures to the words of the chinese ambassador in the u.k. he said that this was the grave this crisis facing home call since the british handover in 1997 he also said that. he won't china won't allow protesters to bring home gold down into the abbotts and he also said that china is monitoring moves among certain protesters that he equated to gerry as well china's ambassador to the u.k. has accused foreign forces of being behind the protests in hong kong no foreign country should interfere in hong kong. we urge those foreign forces to respect china's sovereignty and security immediately stop interfering in hong concepts as stop interfering in china's internal affairs stop conniving

in violent offenses this should not misjudge the situation and go down the wrong path otherwise they will lift the stone only to drop it on their own feet. well the ambassador also accused some british politicians of viewing hong kong as part of the british empire that was in response to a british m.p.'s proposal that people in hong kong should get u.k. citizenship rights hong kong was a british colony until 1907 when it was handed over to china part of the deal sought china pledged to give the territory a high degree of autonomy with its own executive legislature and judiciary let's talk about this with laurie green who's a china analyst at the research consultancy t.-s. lombard who's joining us from london hi there rory thanks for being with us and give me your assessment of the chinese ambassador's comments 1st accusing foreign forces of being behind the protests and then accusing british politicians of

viewing hong kong as part of the british empire. during yes well the line is very much at the heart of a very things position on kong and that is that it is a domestic issue and this is absolutely core to china's view view of the whole situation that the one country 2 systems form with agreed upon by the british during the handover to china means that hong kong is it is a domestic issue for china and beijing is very very keen to emphasize that particularly in light of tweets by donald trump suggesting that. tying the issues in hong kong to to the trade floor and the wider distribution we have to us yeah he had not only to do a trade deal with china but he tweeted earlier today. if president xi would need directly in person with a protest there would be a happy an enlightened ending to the hong kong problem i have no doubts of what you make of trump's tweets. i think that's a it's

a very optimistic proposal from for president trump that. so you think we're not be going going there to negotiate with the protesters which as as you've noted have been described by beijing as terrorists. so this the escalation in the rhetoric used to describe actions happening in hong kong suggest a compromise between china and the the protest is even more unlikely china doesn't negotiate with terrorists so let us try to do narrative because we thought it was filmed by the reuters news agency chinese military personnel. across the border from hong kong. is china looking to intervene at any point or is it still giving hong kong or thorney is an opportunity to maintain calm so to speak absolutely the forces are there but it's more of

a scare tactic at the moment china actually does not want to want to intervene in hong kong they don't want to put any boots on the ground security forces being sent that would be a sort of a last resort move so beijing is now continuing to to fund the efforts by the hong kong security forces and we would do that for as long as possible that remains the key tactic from from beijing to allow the hong kong authorities with their full support to try and control the protests i know you've been looking at the economic impact of all of this on the hong kong no doubt it has taken a hit we saw of course the airport not fully functional for 2 days the number of tourists as well declining in your assessment what's been the fallout economically on one of asia's financial hubs. so the short term fallout is very clear via tourism act consumer spending how so confidence is low. protesters

on the streets you can't go out and buy anything so that has an immediate short term impact on the economy. we're ready seeing some businesses start to question these are hong kong guys as they're sort of a ship that is setting the proximity to china it always gives it an edge over other asian financial centers but now with this instability the possible threats the rule of law coming from china we're hearing of people considering singapore or the other countries within asia as potential bases so the short term impact on tourism house on the financial center itself all right thank you for speaking to us on the. right here in just a moment dramatic pictures of her russian airliner forced to crash land in a field after striking a flock of birds. why a trade dispute between so tokyo has roots in both the distant past and much more recent times. in sports tiger is back but will he be fit enough to play

a whole tournament we'll hear from him a little later. hello again it's good to be back here across parts of turkey the temperatures have been quite high over the last few days but things are changing and those temperatures are beginning to come down as well we're also going to see some rain across the region as we enter into the weekend so far on correct spector a nice change even though there's still quite warm at 31 degrees but as we go towards friday notice we do pick up a few more showers here along the coast and we are going to see that time to drop a few down to about 27 beirut a nice day few with a temper there of 30 degrees or here across the gulf the morning humanity has been a big problem very uncomfortable across much of the area that's going to continue here on friday we also see low visibilities as well maybe even some fog in some

mist in some areas so expect to see a high there of 39 degrees with very high humanity as well but as we go towards saturday a little bit better but the temperatures do come up to about 42 down along the coast the law is going to be quite a nice day for you with a temperature of $25.00 degrees while plenty of sun across the southern part of southern africa we are picking up a few cloudy conditions in the morning but that really breaks up in the heating of the day durban it's going to be a warm day few at 27 degrees but by the time we get towards saturday we do expect to see a southerly flow coming in some more clouds in the forecast there 21 degrees as your forecast high into hedberg 24.

ard. i was raised in france. these are my grandparents. these are my parents and this is me. by them both isis and the us on. the 2nd of a 2 part epic tale of a remarkable simony. the father the son and the jihad. on al-jazeera.

for the news hour on al jazeera hello again the top stories. are has released an iranian oil tanker seized off its coast by british royal marines last month the court was given formal assurances by iran that the tankers cargo would not be discharged in syria the iranian ambassador in london says the ship will leave gibraltar assume. israel has decided to block a visit by u.s. democratic congresswoman. omar this weekend the decision comes after the u.s. president said israel would show quote great weakness if allowed to visit by the muslim politicians to go ahead. there's been fighting across the line of control between indian and pakistani security forces the indian army is denying reports that 5 of its soldiers have been killed there also been reports of intermittent shelling. we'll take you back to one of our top stories on the iranian

tanker that's been released in gibraltar and speak to lawrence brennan he's an adjunct professor of admiralty and international maritime law at fordham university school of law he's joining us via skype from new york colorants brennan good to have you with us on the news hour so the iranians they are an ambassador to london at least the saying that the u.s. has failed in its attempts to keep the grace one in gibraltar what does the u.s. do next do they and will they pursue other avenues if it's not clear that want to seen the ukrainian record in gibraltar ignore the u.s. leading report that i read just before we went on the air from another source indicated that the justice of the bronx the supreme court said there were no and no formal requests from the. seeds or any of the accident to rest of the ship so it's

not clear if there were a formal proceeding if the court tonight the u.s. requests perhaps the u.s. could appeal but if the u.s. did not file formal pleadings. i do not know how they croupy oh so you're going to waive those this then end to the u.s. as the u.s. attempts does it just leave it there. well either it's not possible to know right if there is a default in the proceeding there's no possibility of arresting the there but there could be other friendly ports we don't know where they're going but i think we can be confident that the best and other nations will follow that. closely by multiple means and know exactly where it's going and steve that the iranian government honors its agreement with the court that the oil will not be delivered is syria i assume it means delivered directly or indirectly what about the british flag tanker

this that i am poor which was seized by iran shortly after the grace one was seen or does this british ship now get released do you see iran doing that as a sort of a goodwill gesture or what do you k. off already is getting in return for releasing the grace one. in the important question the republican comments have been that there was no quid pro quo rahm effectively admitted that it seized in an era in retaliation for the seat of grace on the crew members of grayson apparently have been really or today that's a man a problem i don't know how the already noted are going to deal with it. if the iranians fail to release them or want a standing piro and her crew then that will not put them in good standing in the international community there were allegations of a small maritime or again that could have been resolved with

a simple letter of undertaking or a promise by the owner and its insurers to pay the claim if there wasn't back damage done by that if any were any. longer standard pirogue remains. in a ram the more bad will and appearance of hostage holding that will world will say but if you look at the bigger picture here in a specifically this mean the ruling by the gibraltar court in just a few hours ago does this actually deescalate tensions in a region that's seen plenty of hostilities you can say over the past few months. the region's seen plenty of hostilities and see over 40 years read more and that that's part of the complexity this is one of the steps is it a factor that hurt reduce. but it rand has made most statements indicating that it does not want warships of any other nation involved in the area that's

a violation of freedom of navigation it's a response to allegations of threats meet by iran and conduct by iran for the past 90 days that of course is at risk have caused hundreds of millions of dollars of damage to neutral ships and its cargo so there needs to be yes but it can't be your lateral and it's iran's turn to step forward and either begin by releasing the crew in the if in the cargo once in an. arrow and then make sure that prima navigation rights in the strait of hormuz the gulf of oman and in the persian gulf but we definitely respect and that also needs to be an aircraft particular commercial aircraft transiting that all right laurence brennan we thank you for joining us from new york thank you not the pilots a for russian airline are being hailed as heroes for saving lives by crash landing in

a cornfield the overall airlines airbus had a flock of seagulls shortly after takeoff from zukowski airport in moscow all 233 people on board escaped 23 were taken to hospital with minor injuries aviation safety special the david lerman says the crash has similarities with the so-called miracle on the hudson in new york 10 years ago. it would have been pretty shocking but it didn't last very long and although i think a couple of people got minor injuries in the incident it was you know everybody everybody lived and if the closest comparison we have to an event like this is one almost that be 10 years ago when. a u.s. airways bus. landed on the hudson river actually on a river but exactly one of the most famous incidents of all time actually ferry the

ocean again a couple of people got hurt nobody was killed and it was exactly the same cause it was both engines were hit by in this case it was a flock of geese and they were pilots lost power almost all power on both engines as happened in this case 6 e.u. countries have agreed to taken almost 150 migrants who have been stranded on a ship for 2 weeks they've been on the open arms charity vessel after being picked up off libya italy is interior minister matteo savini had blocked that boat from docking the passengers will now go to france germany romania portugal spain and luxembourg. you have visited there goes your meeting but all that i lost that is prime minister reproaches me for my obsession with immigration and closed ports yes i'm guilty of having the obsession with the safety of italian citizens and the obsession with fighting human traffickers and n.g.o.s who are complet of human

traffickers $60000000.00 italian spain me for this obsession not to be a beautiful soul they pay me to protect the borders for security for dignity and to honor my country if i am a good minister of the interior being as i am then so be it if i am not good and someone prefers to go back to the past just say it. the u.s. government is building new detention centers to hold asylum seekers crossing the border from mexico the government says new arrivals are well cared for but several children are among migrants who've died in custody jocasta reports from el paso texas which is on the front line of donald trump's heavily criticized immigration policy. across from an el paso shopping plaza down a suburban street is a detention center for migrants this is now part of life along the u.s. mexican border that which is warm allies is not protest against that which is normalized simply because it becomes an omnipresent the number of people who've

been captured or turned themselves into the u.s. border patrol has trucked for more than 100008 month 272000 in july in el paso that's still 6 times higher than a year ago over the summer the government was criticized for keeping people under bridges and in overcrowded facilities but with emergency money from congress new detention centers are now being built u.s. customs and border protection says it's dramatically increased detention capacity in recent weeks in texas an additional $4500.00 migrants are being held in tent cities the government says that the people inside are well cared for and protected from the desert. sun but the migrant deaths still continue 2 weeks ago a 33 year old man from el salvador died shortly after being arrested more than a dozen migrants including children have died in government custody in the past

year and a half cruelty is the point all of this is meant to be a deterrent it is meant to be a deterrent is meant to be a punishment then there's the recent allegation that a border patrol agent in yuma arizona sexually assaulted a detained 15 year old girl the u.s. homeland security secretary says that is under investigation in the allegation that's raised by policy must be immediately reported to an independent investigative agency and they're going to take that for action critics say the migrants are refugees and should be greeted with assistance rather than a rest and possible abuse the u.s. government says it's trying to enforce the law in a humanitarian manner as more and more people are being detained heidi castro al jazeera el paso texas. the united states has accused sudan's former intelligence chief of torture and banned him from entering the country sako served for almost 4

decades in sudan's national intelligence and security service have a pressure force him to resign in april 2 days after a military council took power and the long term president almost on bashir the u.s. secretary of state my pompei of the designation of solid goes on his family underscores our support for accountability for those involved in gross violations of human rights we've joined sudanese people and their call for a transitional government that is truly civilian led and differs fundamentally from the bush bashir regime. the united states will have a new acting intelligence chief on thursday but retired admiral joseph mcguire is appointments may only be temporary he replaces dan coats who often classed with the president's but changes have to get exposed donald trump's contentious relationship with his intelligence community can really help get reports. fractures in the relationship between president trump and director of national intelligence dan

coats were sometimes exposed in public and in real time we have some breaking news the white house has announced on twitter last summer it was an american journalist who broke the news to coats that the white house had invited russian president vladimir putin to washington not the president coming here. ok. that moment left americans wondering who was in charge of the sprawling collection of 17 intelligence agencies including the n.s.a. and cia there were concerns raised when trump named a political loyalist congressman john ratcliffe as coaches replacement seeming to value loyalty over experience with somebody strong that could really reign it is because as i think you've all heard the intelligence agencies have run a bar but ratcliffe got a lukewarm reception in the u.s.

senate that would have to confirm him when his resume was found to be lacking he withdrew trampling the media as i felt that congressman radcliffe was vacated very unfairly i was reading the press critics say trump's demand for loyalty is eroding the ability of intelligence officials to properly do their jobs they're supposed to provide unvarnished assessments but that's not always what the president wants to hear engines will be much more reserved in their efforts to carry out these kinds of investigations both with respect to mr trump other politicians because it does open up this hornet's nest trump 2nd choice for d.n.i. named on twitter is retired admiral joseph mcguire a decorated navy seal who currently heads the national counterterrorism center now as acting director of the d.n.i. he inherits the an enviable task of delivering intelligence trump has often disagreed with. including whether north korea will abandon nuclear weapons as

collating confrontation with iran and russian interference in u.s. elections what's unclear is whether donald trump plans to formally nominate joseph maguire to be the director of national intelligence or if he sees the post as temporary given trump's demand for loyalty and mcguire's reputation for offering unvarnished intelligence assessments can really help at al-jazeera the white house . south korea's president says he's open for talks with japan to end their escalating trade routes in a speech marking korea's independence from japan's colonial rule he warned global trade may suffer he said so will gladly join hands if tokyo wants to resolve the dispute through dialogue the dispute was further escalated last week when south korea was removed from tokyo's favor trading nations list on just. a country that developed 1st should not hinder the ability of

a country that is currently developing to continue growing we hope that japan will play a leading role together in facilitating peace and prosperity in east asia well contemplate the past the brought misfortune to its neighboring countries a compulsory rubbish recycling program has started in one of the largest cities in the world shanghai and china is fining people and businesses if they don't follow strict rules on saving what they used to throw away when he reports. throwing household waste away in shanghai is a lot more complicated than it used to be rubbish has to be sorted into several categories including wet and dry it's not optional it's an order from the government and it seems to have caught on quickly. this garbage recycle rule is great for both the citizens and the country we're used to it as not trouble for us at all it's like when i'm cooking i automatically separate the kitchen waste and other waste it's

a habit now at sit times people take their separated waste to bins that have been placed in communities around the city the contents of then collected and taken for recycling composting or incineration for power generation businesses also have to abide by the new laws if they don't they could be fined up to $70000.00 the motivation behind a program like this would be applauded by most but there was also a sense that the government has missed a step out and that not enough emphasis is being placed on educating people how to reduce waste in the 1st place in 2014 china declared war on pollution it's made significant gains particularly with air pollution. but with rapid economic expansion came a boom in consumerism a growing waste problem which is the government's next target it wants a standardized nationwide rubbish sorting system to be in place in the next 6 years and shanghai is seen as the big test the city's residents produce more than

$22000.00 tons of waste per day among the contributors is china's growing love affair with food delivery services which is now a $70000000000.00 industry experts agree that education could be improved but the new initiative is a significant step china is still coming from. a culture where people are still going see littering on the streets as an elephant so going from. neutrino. putting stuff in the bin but in the right bin. that's a big. for people right now the test will be when the novelty wears off and the volunteers keeping an eye on the process and no longer as they have for now the government is serious about tackling china's waste problem and people have no choice but to follow the law. shanghai. sports news is next on the al-jazeera news hour. we'll tell you why this. is making

algorithm on a joke. when the news breaks. when people need to be heard and the story needs to be told pretty remarkable due to the data we had died last week and crossing from mexico to the united states with exclusive interviews and in-depth reports we can move according to the fishing but wifey is exceptionally al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring new movie a lewd wing documentaries and live news. to set sail again. releases the arabian oil. for more than a month. ahead

of gibraltar as you can see on the ship with a crew of 28 by british marines on july the 4th it was seized after being accused of violating by shipping oil to syria iran denied those allegations and called the seizure an act of piracy but the u.s. department of justice requested that the tanker continue to be helped. the vessel is no longer covered within the ambit of the e.u. sanctions and as a result of a court has noted taken note of the fact that it is no longer covered and it's no longer covered there is no compunction for the ship to continue to be arrested the arrest therefore there is no longer valid and the vessel can leave immediately. bega standing by for us with reaction from tehran but 1st we'll go over to anderson mens' in gibraltar and despite that very last minute u.s.

request to keep the ship detained it's now been released and you just talk us through what happened. well indeed the last minute attempt by the u.s. justice department appears to have failed because the supremes court has ruled categorically that this tanker is free to go and there are indications that might happen quite soon in fact within the coming hours possibly in the darkness it could go in it's expected to go somewhere in the mediterranean was one reference but what's happening now is it is a real strong effort on the part of the gibraltar government to justify what's happened as far as the judge here is concerned he says there is no longer any jurisdiction held on this vessel simply because it's no longer registered as

registered outside of iran and it is not bound for syria now that is could be taken into contention but they've taken the word of iranian officials meeting in london and lots of negotiation since then to establish that it isn't a rainy and tanker that the. crude oil on board worth in the region of $140000000.00. is that it is all owned by iraq so therefore there's no sanction busting going on right now as far as the judge is concerned so it's out of his hands now what's happened is that the gibraltar government has given some detail in a statement and is saying that really this is the most successful act since the legislation on sanctions over syria this happened so far from the european union support. view and it says that it's deprived the assad regime of valuable light crude oil again $140000000.00 worth of those are the exact words from the

chief minister's office so now we have a situation whereby there is obviously a lot of effort going in by the iranians to get a crew together because not all the of the crew is intact now i've just been spoken speaking to the lawyer representing some of the crew the skipper and 2 others he says that they are bound out of gibraltar and certainly not going on the boat. there is an insistence on his part that this really was an illegal arrest these things according to his legal advice and he's saying that the skipper will hand over to someone else now crew isn't hard to find here in gibraltar it would appear that there is a move on now to get the grace worn out of gibraltar to reporters waters before the u.s. can do anything more for us as far as their action goes or the gibraltar government

says that they will refer that to something called the independent mutual legal assistance or thoughts and that could be a slow process right anderson ends with an update from to prosper thank you let's now bring in as joining us from a terrine so this almost please the iranians aside what official reaction is there from off already is there and are they saying anything about aware that grace one heads to next. well of to use they haven't said where that grace one is heading to but the foreign minister divides the reef has taken to church and remember the united states sanctioned him just over a week ago and he said having failed to accomplish its objectives through economic terrorism including depriving cancer patients of medicine the us attempted to abuse the legal system just steal our property on the high seas he went on to say the piracy attempt is indicative of the trump administration's contempt of the law so very much still sticking to their guns they rein in the bust of the united kingdom

also spoke and he said that iran had been having having series of dialogues over the last few days including back to political technical and legal level with the british side to resolve this illegal act still saying that this is illegal but rainy and we'll be happy you will be pleased that this tank has been cleared for release especially since the united states last minute effort to try and intervene and seize that tank and that would be seen by iran as a victory for them and a defeat for the united states and also it will go towards easing some of the tensions between iran and the united kingdom it does leave the matter of the british tank at that iran has now this is a way for both sides to save face the british will say well the iranians have gone through the legal process is in gibraltar and i suspect the issue of the pair will be brought in front of the iranian judiciary in the coming days and we could very well see the release of the british vessel in a few days or

a week so all the tension now here in iran is under abbas the port city in the south of the country where that british flag vessel is being held. thank you. jordan has more reaction from washington. the trumpet ministration has alleged for more than a year now that iran is not acting in good faith that it is not a good member of the international community that it is intent upon spreading what the trumpet ministration calls its malign influence around the world primarily because of its efforts to develop a nuclear weapons program but also because of its past interference in other countries internal affairs whether it's in lebanon whether it's in yemen whether it's in gaza the u.s. is very disturbed by what it considers iran's behavior certainly in the case of the grace one the u.s.

in this matter apparently was very concerned as were members of the e.u. that iran was trying to break the oil embargo imposed by the e.u. on syria because of that country's behavior in its own civil war however we don't yet have a copy of the application whether it was a verbal or written from the u.s. to the court in her and so all of this can just basically be seen as not surprising but absent confirmation from the u.s. government we now have to question whether this was in fact a legitimate request coming from the justice department. israel says it will block a visit by u.s. democratic congresswoman. omar under an anti boycott law the politicians who are both muslim plan to visit israel in the occupied palestinian territories this coming weekend but president benjamin but prime minister excuse me benjamin

netanyahu says the visit would harm israel earlier u.s. president donald trump said israel would show great weakness if the visit was allowed to go ahead as bring in harry force that is joining us from western rusa limb and it's believed that pressure from trump could have led to the israeli government's taking this decision and harry what more do we know. well that certainly seems the case given the chronology of how all of this has played out this was in the very final stages of preparation this visit we hand heard that the 2 congress for one would be visiting hebron bethlehem ramallah and east jerusalem there was reporting this week that the israeli authorities were working out how to handle a potential visit to the locks a mosque compound known as the temple mount to jews but then we have this apparent reversal reports of which came through this morning and then the last few minutes we've had confirmation from benjamin netanyahu himself saying that the sole purpose

of this visit was to strengthen the boycott and digital mys israel the fact that they weren't planning to meet any israeli officials or opposition members although it must be said there were no indications are going to meet p.a. officials either and saying that this will harm israel and incite against it now as you say the key difference i think seems to be the attitude of the white house and donald trump in particular there was reporting earlier this week that he had said that if they were going to boycott israel and israel should boycott them and then just before the israeli official announcement came this tweet from donald trump saying that show great weakness for israel to allow them in and saying that they hate israel and all jewish people which is extraordinary language against 2 u.s. congress women and really it does seem that benjamin netanyahu is doing this because of this pressure you have to remember that his own ambassador to

united states ron dermer just last month said that this visit would go ahead there was a bilateral visit by un u.s. representatives just over the weekend dozens of them at which both the house minority and majority leaders republican and democrat advocated for this visit to go ahead we've had a response from one of the veteran p.l.o. figure. who is part of the preparations the planning of this visit she said that it's an outrageous act of hostility against the american people and their representatives saying that israel is trying to obscure its human rights violations there's also criticism from pro israeli voices saying that this will damage the bipartisan nature of the u.s. israeli relationship going forward elizabeth warren the u.s. presidential candidate said that if this was the case that it would be a shameful and unprecedented act ok perry fawcett with an update from leicester is one thank you let's take to dan arbel he's a scholar in residence at the center for israeli studies at the america.
