10:49 pm
clonal come on peter wu watching al-jazeera live from our headquarters here in tow also coming up the u.s. congresswoman banned from entering israel says she won't go to the occupied west bank because of oppressive israeli restrictions. violence in zimbabwe's capital as protesters to fire ban on anti government demonstrations. and an iranian oil tanker seized by british marines more than 6 weeks ago as to set sail despite a u.s. . bush to block its departure. the u.n. security council today is set to discuss the political crisis in the end administered kashmir the meeting requested by china will be held behind closed doors the disputed region has a long history at the un special commission was set up after india and pakistan gained independence in 194-7149 kharaj the cease fire agreement
10:50 pm
resulted from that the un security council then passed resolutions up until the late 1950 s. calling for a free and impartial plebiscite and demilitarization resolutions were repeatedly ignored fighting broke out in 1965 and the un security council secretary general and the soviet union all stepped in india and pakistan pull their troops back to kharaj agreement levels now the in last security council resolution on kashmir was in 1971 it demanded a ceasefire and help the refugees well pakistan has repeatedly called for that meeting to take place since india revoked kashmir's or ptolemy in a moment we'll hear from. in new delhi on how india is reacting to this development of 1st let's speak to come out in islamabad this un security council meeting what does the pakistani government want to come out of that.
10:51 pm
1st of all that you. mentioned a meeting that was guarded by china. your standard question china your head of power don't just issue. that does it for the 1st time in 50 years this has come back to the united nations which of god's will be holding a meeting we're not sure how did it going to go and what really happened. it is considered to be. 3 especially because the united nations treat gendron himself had mentioned that this was their dispute with relevant un resolutions and spoke against india you know that action to revoke article 7 so.
10:52 pm
that diplomatic breakthrough by pakistan which had been insisting by let them had. unilaterally moved had gone against the spirit of what he treaty an agreement between both india and pakistan to which even the united nations that. security general. deferred to and. meant of $1702.00 under which all outstanding issues between india and pakistan including kashmir it would be on the basis of that treaty so india had been actively moved and that means they've had by they. leaving nor the platform for dogs but. now it's not an intervention to try and break through this particular debt. thanks very much. how is this being perceived where you are. well
10:53 pm
indian officials at least an offer of our conversations are downplaying it however one of the external affairs minister is a form like some of us minister of india and several very senior former indian diplomats have said that. mean a resolution and came up at the united nations security council decades ago so in that sense there is a bit of a concern than one can sense because the indian diplomats over these years i worked very hard to keep me off the table at the u.n. i see having said that they also say they don't think much is going to come out of it because it's behind closed doors and what they say is an informal discussion by that they mean that no statement would come up however there is no clarity whether there is no absolute certainty rather than whether a statement would come out or not but indians are pretty confident that if that is raised in this meeting to issue a statement then russia would support india very much and india indian officials in government is also very confident because they believe that
10:54 pm
a lot of the members of the united nations security council would side with india or would prefer to side with india because they enjoy a much better relationship with india rather than box them until thanks very much we'll come back to them when required meantime thank you let's just show you the latest pictures coming to us from off the coast of japan there on the southern tip of spain because it was called the greece one the iranian tanker it's now lifted anchor it is now imminently about to set sail through the mediterranean where it's setting sail for we don't know of course what you're looking at in effect right now with quite a dull shots of just a super tanker in the mediterranean is ground 0 of the diplomatic fight between iran and various other people over u.n. sanctions being applied apartment sanctions being applied to iran let's talk to under simmons who is our correspondent who's been bopping around in the mediterranean all day for us so andrew there sailing is going to go but the key
10:55 pm
thing is we don't know where we don't know where and really and crucially as well will it go to syria. let me just bring you up to date before i answer that question that what we're seeing now you can see over here if you just get a little closer richard could just get a little closer to the bow of this nameless ship because everything is blacked out she is called adrian dahlia now but they fail to put any other sign up in terms of the identity of this ship is flying no flag whatsoever of the flag of the ship i asked which to come around again you'll see she she was under steam earlier but she hasn't moved yet this supertanker is stationary the anchor has been lifting it is something like 80 meters is very deep water it takes some time we've heard radio conversations between the portal solaces and the bridge on this ship the captain was asking us to stop filming via the port authority is
10:56 pm
a port authority that al-jazeera english was free to film providing we don't get in the way of movement and they gave permission for the tanker to set sail that could be a longish process but coming back to your question no we don't know where she's headed the ideas coming up on our communication system that is coming up as grace was still you could hear the radio communications in the background and it is the destination simply says mediterranean so it's something of a guessing game in terms of. so i thought it was another important medication so basically what's happening now is the anchor is still up and the bridge of the ship as i say communicating now with the port authority is to set
10:57 pm
sail legally this is all agreed despite the u.s. attempts at the last minute. to extend that detention order has been a statement from the iranian foreign ministry saying they didn't intend to go to syria anyway and they can go wherever they want with this oil busy that diplomatically is being dismissed as something of posturing nature and something that really is addressed for an internal audience so what we're seeing now as i say is the preparation for how to set sail and it will come back to you i'm sure in the coming hours the meantime thanks very much. now the u.s. democratic congresswoman rashida to labor says she will not visit her grandmother in the occupied west bank despite receiving permission from israel the interior minister says she would have been allowed in on humanitarian grounds if she'd agreed not to call for a boycott in israel during her visit however tains she will not be silenced and treated like a criminal earlier the deputy foreign minister said she'd been banned off to
10:58 pm
lobbying efforts by the u.s. president donald trump also in jordan as our correspondent in washington so clearly for this democratic congresswoman rose there are bigger moral questions at play here rather that sort of take primacy above and beyond her relationship with her elderly grandmother. well peter it's also important to point out that as part of this whole back and forth over whether congresswoman receipt italy would get a visa to go to israel and the occupied west bank when the decision was made to revoke her visa she then wrote a letter to the interior ministry saying that she only wanted to go to the occupied west bank to see her 90 year old grandmother and other relatives that it would be a humanitarian request and in that request she noted that she would not engage in political activities during her visit while now she has decided not to make the trip and on twitter she said in part to what i'm about to
10:59 pm
a read for our viewers silencing mean and treating me like a criminal is not what she meaning her grandmother wants for me it would kill a piece of me i have decided that visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions stands against everything i believe in fighting against racism oppression and injustice so of course now that the congresswoman to leave has put out this statement saying that she's not going to travel to the occupied west bank after all has some accusing her of trying to sneak into the occupied west bank in order to was discuss politics and not just visit her family there are others who are saying that the israeli government never should have been in this position in the 1st place that if they had made a decision a month ago to allow her and another congressperson omar of minnesota to come to israel and the occupied west bank that they should have stood by their decision and
11:00 pm
not caved to pressure from the trumpet ministration including pressure directly from the u.s. president donald trump himself so it's fair to say it's just after 10 am here on the u.s. east coast it's fair to say peter that this controversy is far. from over any reaction as of yet so far today rose from mr trump himself i mean he's had such a definite take on these 2 elected politicians and their attitudes towards israel you know his version of their attitude his interpretation i guess one should say of their attitude towards israel. so far not yet he did make reference to this situation while he was traveling to the primary state of new hampshire on thursday evening but so far as of this morning he has not spoken but it's only been a few minutes i haven't had a chance to look at his twitter feed which is how the president.
