who are arrested have had their passports returned to intend to get out of here once they've handed over there's not much activity on board there is no sign whatsoever of any security and as far as we know she is ready to sail and what we're hearing from the the gibraltar government is that there is nothing to stop other than logistics right now despite the u.s. attempts to try to get the detention order. brought back. best technical back on the past 24 hours on just how this all developed. the grace warner and. its 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 supremes had a judge seeming somewhat baffled 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 asked for the detention to be extended it 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 of sanction. as confusion spread from the courtroom grace wong remained in ankara just as she has been since july the 4th 28 crewmembers on board 4 of them the captain and 3 offices were released on bail that passports were handed back 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 minister 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 that oil did 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 these i'm a republic of iran that 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. we can see some acts. it's the on the bridge of the supertanker right now it appears that there are active preparations being made but certainly no clue as to exactly where this supertanker is going all we've been told from sources in iran from the owner is that it will be going to into the mediterranean another suggest that it could go to mediterranean ports so it appears that the gibraltar government doesn't know where it's bound for either but as far as it's concerned as you heard in that report the chief minister feels it's a success because they've they've actually managed to get through. the.

that the sanctions have been forced and now it's up to the united states for the next move will that be something active in the sea could it be some more attempts legally here to try to reverse the situation it doesn't appear it can do much but nothing can be ruled out at this stage until this supertanker set sail all right enter simmons' live for us and thank you still ahead on al-jazeera north korea rolls out for their peace talks as it fires 2 missiles into the sea of japan. emotions are running high in the pacific islands as national leaders to make climate change also. comes home when a sign is welcomes the best dancers from around the world. hello

they say that tango is more than just a dance. but if you let the spirit of tango take you it will help you to better know yourself and your partner only in time or in the close embrace in this music we can't really explain without words what their feelings for each other and sometimes really really deep what we can't even describe with the words. it was developed in one of cyrus by 19th century immigrants mostly men dancing with men developing their fight moves in the rough slums of the emerging city. thank you . they grew throughout the 20th century in popularity and respectability to become the swirling sequin dot form it is today now danced around the world and every year the world's best dancers return to reacquaint themselves with the hope of tango.

tango soul lives around the world because tango is universal which is one of the most important things it has achieved in its history the possibility that the whole world can dance it. the world cup has 2 categories traditional tango long which is improvised with the dancers not knowing what music will have to work with. and choreograph stage tango no support of the. among the thousands of arjun times both young and old the essence of tango is still alive and thriving. to her father a tango singer. in 3 minutes there's a connection between a man and a woman that takes him from the moment to the tango is danced with the fate but it's felt in the hot. on a teacher's classes to foreign tourists who are beguiled by a dog which has long provided the soundtrack to life in argentina. i believe it's

in our d.n.a. it's the way we live the way we live and what we feel it's not to do with whether you're a good dancer or can sing or play an instrument it's to do with being born here and living here they say that everybody is able to learn tango perhaps with some exceptions. every year tango comes home but here in argentina it never really goes away. when there are 201 osiris. make it a man and there's our website al jazeera dot com on the break we have a recap of your headlines. check out the headlines on al-jazeera police in zimbabwe have not anti-government demonstrators protesting the high cost of living running battle started on the streets of the capital harare the high court dismissed an attempt by the opposition

hello and welcome to the program. yemen has not always been one country north and south yemen came together in 1900 after years of conflict but it's been an easy union and the civil war is deepening the divide separatists from the southern transitional council the s.t.c. are part of the sandy a coalition fighting the hoa fees but it dramatic twist last week they took over the city of aden the seat of the saudi backed yemeni government thousands of people waved the old south yemen flag during a rally to support the s.t.c. the government is urging the fighters to pull out. as we can see the war in yemen is not a single conflict but a multi-faceted power struggle the fighters backed by iran control much of the north including the capital sana saudi arabia the united arab emirates launched

a campaign against the hope is to restore the internationally recognized government of the borman so hearty by the u.a.e. is also backing armed groups who want southern yemen separated from the rest of the country the southern transitional council says it has a mandate to push these forces out also in the south there are al qaeda linked armed groups and the yemeni branch of eisel. let's bring in our panel joining us from new york lot of cinema and director of affairs of foreign affairs of the southern transitional council in new york in geneva is elizabeth kandel senior research fellow of the perm college of the university of oxford who recently visited southern yemen from gothenburg sweden a journalist and editor in chief of the sun our review thank you all for joining us mr long come out of the government of the into the internationally recognized

government of president al that also had he says that what they asked to see forces did in. was a military coup well 1st i would know till thank you for having me and later thank your guests and all those who are watching. of course the internationally recognized government is going to say that this is cool where it's unfortunate. is recognized government is not providing any basic services or. minimizing tayyar sort of corruption. it's unfortunate that it's only talking about the. recent activities whereas the 44 years after the. brace in the southern governor there is still instability there is plenty of chaos there as. terrorist attacks. the internationally recognized government is

also hijacked by radical or at least strong ties. are. just because they are internationally recognized also have a duty to the people the duty to the to the civilians whom are experiencing harsh lifestyles while they're enjoying a lavish lifestyle outside the country in riyadh and and elsewhere trying to actually run this country from abroad through social media prop platforms and why fight i see your point elizabeth you've heard what a lot of us said basically that the reason why their fighters interfered is because the government has failed the yemenis but they could be in the south yes that's right and there's a lot of truth and what's just been set the south has very legitimate scree france

is going back decades the country hasn't been run while the south has suffered it's very understandable that they should wish to take matters into their own hands however what wasn't mentioned was that there and go as an independent state it is not just that the southern transition council wants to clear out terrorist and corrupt elements from the head of government as it has so far framed it ultimately the leaders do want an independent state so it's quite clear that the government of yemen can't countenance that because that would be the end of yemen as a united country awful how do you see what happened. is that is this is that in the general sentiment among people in yemen particularly in the north but this was the beginning of the disintegration of the country. in the north and the. reaction. to the front line from the people on the ground.

many of my family members and then you're right they caught me actually and actually what's going on in the south there is absolutely media blackout so a lot of people in the north of the don't know what's happening in south of yemen but the northern leadership. with the i think they're a bit in a very they're concerned by what's going on there is no a strong stance from them but. i think a lot of not only with these but a lot of the. religious didn't see that what's going on and i've done a way of trying to emphasize the southern. seat and whatever peace talks comic peace talks going to happen so i don't regret that during all the peace talks that you actually hashem that's covered in sweden there was a lot of margin and i think going on to the other so i think that what's going on

in iran is one desperate way trying to say that we share and whatever the political set in that going to happen and. the general. just want to get some sense of clarity here there's been today still ongoing a pro independence rally in. perspective as s.t.c. are you moving towards declaring independence of the south. yes the ultimate goal is to. address all the quittance is and the aspirations of the southern people whom this is the entire basis that the s.t.c. has its legitimacy on the ground at least. the southern people today have gathered from all governorates directorates to all state one thing. they want to remove. any government that stands in their way and there are you know achievements

and goals and they are acting on a nothing to lose basis now as mentioned earlier the you know basic services are not even being provided institutions are not active at all. earlier do you have any timeline for the proclamation of independence do do you have a plan where you would say by next november or december we will declare an independent sovereign state no no we don't have a timeline the southern or the southern transitional council. holds dear regional security as high importance as well so we are consider ourselves as strong active and main partners in this coalition that is are fighting off the iranian backed these on all fronts so we prioritize the regional security

as well as our. the aspirations of these are your people have been mostly in demands of regional implications and this is going to be my question to elizabeth this is something which is weird extraordinary happening now in yemen i would like you to further. explain this to us you have a coalition which is led by saudi arabia the u.a.e. is part of that coalition of the saudis i think they are in favor of a united seems to be in favor of this to see which wants to break away from the north we're talking about diametrically opposed agendas here. we are i think what keeps them both together is the overarching struggle against iran which is perceived to be backing who sees and indeed is vocally backing the who sees and so that has enabled them to plaster over the cracks in their coalition with regard to their and goals but you make an important point these recent clashes wouldn't have happened had not the united arab emirates funded and helped to form the southern

transitional council and alongside that recruited sauza and of soldiers across the south who are now able to back up its agenda so although the leaderships of both saudi arabia and the united arab emirates will be able publicly to patch over the cracks it's very unlikely that that will translate into the respective forces on the ground the head forces versus the s.t.c. forces being able to mend their rifts and indeed we're seeing both of those forces now harden their attitudes today are for. you must have seen what's happening in the social media over the last few days basically this is creating a divide among the yemenis some would tell you there's just some of the grievances of the people of the south you have all those other is to see in particular is being used as a proxy by the emeritus to further implement their own agenda in yemen. like that

but 1st i want to add something as it is about i think one of the maybe the many threat to yemen's unity is not the best you see it's not so their movements not u.a.e. it's actually the incumbent the incompetence of the internationally recognized the human government we have to understand that this government has feet of on so many numbers and trying to address the conflicts or the fighting with the movies or even trying to embrace what's going on in the south right after the liberation either so i think it's very very important to address are the weakness and. that any management. they have any government and that's something that you the national community has to be at the action to because they keep think this government with no you know end game for the government trying to get the country together but speaking about the. basically the human rights violation of the put

ideation going on between the that inside the south i think it's very. alarming that in the name of separation there are a huge crisis of human rights by they should go in what inside the the north of the south so as we speak there are many reports of rest and the sense of opposition to s.t.c. anyone who is trying to mobilize or speak against the of the southern transitional council is met with by the answer and the french. and and that's you know it kind of like a cool piece of the what that credit and i have a lot of you see here in the name of unity he used to need the southern movement with blue to oppression we seem to have. see a continuation.
