continue throughout the night and indeed it will come back to you kimberly and of course to president trump once he begins his speech or will be keenly watching what he has to say thanks very much for now. on one of the top story on an iranian oil tanker seas off the coast of gibraltar by british marines has been cleared to sail again the u.s. state department was asking for the detention to be extended the gross one was seized last month after being accused of violating you sanctions by shipping oil to syria iran has denied those allegations calling the seizure an act of piracy and simmons has more from gibraltar. the grace warner and co off gibraltar it's panamanian registration changed yet the iranian flag still not in place it's thursday the start of the 43rd and final day of his detention but a major legal twist on shore in the gibraltar supreme court had a judge seeming somewhat baffled and the crew on board wondering if they'd ever get away the attorney general's legal team had a plan to release the supertanker but only hours before that was supposed to happen

the u.s. department of justice also for the detention to be extended instead the case was adjourned for 5 hours a lawyer for 3 of the crew including the captain couldn't see any reason for the detention to continue we've taken advice from 2 q. season london specialists on sanctions and a criminal specialist for what we could tell them their advice was that was no breach the sanction. of confusion spread from the courtroom grace was reminded on cut just as she has been since july the full 28 crew members on both 4 of them the captain and 3 offices were released on bail that possible $100.00 baht ahead of the u.s. approach to the calls. made to the court was in session again this time the judge threw out the approach from the u.s. department of justice and granted the attorney general's request for grace one to

leave gibraltar's waters the government's chief ministers says iran had given a cost on guarantee the grace warned would not deliver its 2100000 barrels of like crude oil to syria he hails the actions of gibraltar as a triumph it may be one of the missing sessile sanctions busts in history not just in the context of the serious sanctions set by the european union because we've deprive the assad regime of $140000000.00 at today's value of crude oil and what would you say if all of the oil. did it end up in syria after all well there's a commitment in writing to say that it won't and it won't look good on the islamic republic of iran it said something in writing and then does the opposite. and so what iran had described as piracy and gibraltar along with the u.k. calls a major breach of e.u. sanctions on syria appears to be ending now as grace one prepares to leave gibraltar is waters or eyes are on the u.s.

now to see what if anything can do to stop this iranian voyage hundreds simmons' al-jazeera gibraltar also in jordan has more from washington d.c. . 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 well it's going to rain in perspective from a correspondent a sabbatical in 10. well the foreign minister zarif has been remember the united states sanctions imposed sanctions against him just over a week ago and have also reset having failed to accomplish its objectives through economic terrorism including depriving cancer patients of medicine the us attempted to abuse the legal system to steal our property on the high seas he went on to say

the piracy attempt is indicative of the trumpet demonstrations contempt of the law now also the iranian ambassador to the united kingdom has been talking and what he said was that iran had over the last 40 days had a series of dialogues at the political legal and technical level with the british to resolve this so yes they are pleased but they're still sticking to their guns saying that this seizure of grace one was illegal so they are pleased and expression the sense that last minute u.s. intervention to try and seize that vessel iran will see that as a victory for them and a defeat for the united states also this goes some way in easing some of the tensions between iran and the united kingdom it does leave the issue of the british flagged vessel that's been held by iran but this is a way for both countries to save face because because the united kingdom will say iran went through the legal process is in gibraltar and i suspect the issue of the

pair will be brought in front of the iranian judiciary here so the iranian authorities can say that their legal processes have been fulfilled and we could very well see that british flagged vessel released in the coming days or a week or so all eyes are now on the port city of bun the robust where that british flagged vessel is being held much more ahead here on the al jazeera news hour including just a handful of hundreds of refugees and migrants stranded at sea for load. plus. i'm wayne hay in shanghai where will tell you about the latest in the chinese government's war on solutions. play equal pay the u.s. women's football team. enough of wage discrimination clear we'll have more that in school. prime minister 6 nations are willing to take in some of the migrants stranded on

the boat off lampedusa the boat has been barred from docking but 9 people were brought to shore by the italian coast guard it follows a court ruling which said emergency support must be provided to $147.00 migrants on board the vessel is being stranded in the mediterranean sea for more than a fortnight so. for the last 2 weeks more than 140 migrants have been a ball with the proactive open arms looking for a place to dock safely they were rescued by the spanish vessel off the libyan coast . as weather conditions worsen that sea full on board including 2 infants were allowed off the vessel taken by the italian coast guard for medical attention. i do conditions picked up. a lot of people were seasick already on suffering. and their friends the boat and also on one of.

the problems they've had coming from where they faced arbitrary detention they face which are rape and murder is a common thing. in the middle of this a political storm swirling around the interior minister a. leader of the far right league party and one of its least 2 deputy prime ministers he is also the face of italy's immigration policies but as well as supporters for his anti my current stance. he also has his detractors. salvini had issued a decree keeping the vessel out of italian war says that was overruled. an italian judge as well as the country's defense minister who is a member of the populist 5 star movement former coalition partners with the league of 1st 5 star template it's criticism towards critics policies but that has changed and it is open warfare between the 2 parties there's was always an uncomfortable

pairing of the many issues including immigration not that it matters in public to solve the need to double down on his decision to issue the decree. 60000000 italians pay me a salary for this obsession not to be a tender soul but to protect our borders for security the dignity and for the honor of my country if i am being a good minister of the interior then so be it if i am not good and some are prefers to go back to the past by choosing someone from the democratic party just say it. and caught up in the middle those still aboard the rescue vessel at sea waiting to head to a new life in europe sunny al-jazeera the fighting is brokered across the line of control that divides the disputed region of kashmir with pakistani and indian forces exchanging gunfire pakistan says 3 of its soldiers and 5 indian troops were

killed but india as well as any fatalities among its force osama bin jawad has been following that story from his offer a bar in pakistan administered kashmir. pakistan's military has confirmed that 3 of its soldiers died in what it calls unprovoked shelling from the indian side on the line of control the dividing line which separates pakistan and india pakistan and india have been ratcheting up tensions in their war of words since there are more these government decided to revoke the special status of the region of kashmir and a military saying that not just a soldiers but civilians have also been caught up in the crossfire a number of them have been killed houses have been damaged as well as vehicles and this is happening as pakistan's prime minister visited pakistan administered kashmir just 24 hours ago saying that pakistan has intelligence that india is planning something he did not elaborate what it was but he referred to what happened in february where there was an attack an indian side and india blamed that

on pakistan this is happening obviously are the backdrop of india's independence day on the 15th of august pakistanis marking it as a black the across the country there have been protests inside pakistan and outside of pakistan as well where obviously leaders have gone to high commissions and embassies of india one of one such large protest happened in london where the advisor to the prime minister also went the reason was that he told media that he wants to highlight the human rights violations that are being committed on the indian side of the border because it has been 12 days that india has not lifted its blockade on the kashmiri people pakistan insisting that 12000000 kashmiris are being held hostage by indian forces where they're not allowing any movement any congregation or basic telephone and internet services. love you know from new delhi with horror. the indian government is not here to fishing you responded to the news

of ceasefire violations however one indian news agency has quoted an unnamed indian official and said that a ceasefire violation occurred on my limited the ceasefire across the line of control in. kashmir the agency adds that the official has told the agency that 3 pakistani soldiers were killed as the indian army retaliated but denied the killing of 5 indian soldiers if 5 indian soldiers have been killed there are some states the indian officials would have to respond and this could possibly be an escalation to what we are witnessing in the region right now and that is tensions between india and pakistan to quite high level busy countries have been on high alert since the indian government decided to abrogate section $370.00 which is a special status that the state of jammu and kashmir had and gave it a certain autonomy well the shootings happened as india more independent state prime minister narendra modi uses celebrations to argue that the revoking of

kashmir's autonomy will benefit everyone including kashmiris 1st tamil has more from the indian capital. in front of the historic red for india's prime minister made his annual independence day speech the 1st since his landslide reelection win and since his government revoked autonomy for indian administered kashmir something he says was long. in the past 70 years these arrangements have given strength to separatism birth to terrorism. and in a way is work to give strength to the foundation of corruption and discrimination i can say it proudly that every indian can say one nation one constitution and. on the streets of the capital new delhi people celebrated the 72nd anniversary of independence from british colonial rule. they also were jubilant about changes to smear. and.

then. it's. a very good decision kashmir people will see this message and feel to have independence india got into been does years ago. but people in the kashmir valley say they have nothing to celebrate the mood in srinagar the largest city in india in mr kashmir is somber as restrictions remain in force by security personnel and phone lines and the internet are blocked in india. it's india's independence day but it's our black day because we've been occupied for 70 years under india for the past 11 days we've been shut. up kids are living under the shadow of guns how do the north in independence day they only know that if they get out they will be shot at the constitution this policy analyst says although integrating kashmir into india

has been the goal the previous governments the method being used now has destroyed kashmiri space in india's government. because himself said and the same independence just. push movies with words and not with guns same. location. there is. a legal challenge being heard by india supreme court could hinder the government's plans as with challenges from abroad. china is backing pakistan's request to the un security council to discuss the situation in question here but prime minister narendra modi basking in the adulation of most indians government leaders may soon have to take their justifications to the international stage. al-jazeera new delhi . staying in asia a mere marley's 15 people are being killed in an attack on a military college and other government targets in the country's north

chance of xi jinping going to hong kong. so you think we're not be going going there to negotiate with 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 protesters even more unlikely china doesn't negotiate with terrorists so that's very optimistic from president trump the forces are there but it's more of a scare tactic at the moment china absolutely 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'll do that for as long as possible that remains the key
