12:00 am
well it was just over an hour ago radio communication between the new captain of this. with the port authority has requested to set sail the permission was given it was being lifted it was a long process but then there was a long pause as you can see right now this tanker is very much stationary rearmed could there was a further right to a communication between the port authority and the captain in which he was asked when all you're leaving what is the plan he asked for permission for special boarding a type of platform to be used to repaint we think the name on the stern which is according to maritime law has to be done there is no flood actually flying on this vessel right now it was actually taken down the panamanian flag
12:01 am
but it has not been replaced could that be an explanation for this ship not 2 setting sail we're not sure yet but then they were the captain was on the radio when will you be leaving and he said they would like it to be as it was going to be sunday evening so this is all in the nature of this whole case so far somewhat confusing but the bottom line is that is it appears a full crew on board now preparations of long term preparations or indeed short ones could they again in the middle of the night ask for permission to leave again this is unclear martine that's the situation here right now in terms of the logistics all right now we understand therefore that the iranians have given assurances that the grace is no heading for syria to have any idea as to its destination when it eventually does. gary.
12:02 am
all navigation systems right now have an i.d. for this ship as grace was still not some adrian which is the new name on the destination listed is the mediterranean there is no clue whatsoever as to where this ship is heading the iranian foreign ministry put out a statement saying that it could go anywhere why should they be stopped from going to syria syria needed energy and oil they could sell the oil to who they want they were recognizing a european union sanctions on syria which was the heart of this case because they were according to the just the gibraltar government there was proof put to the court that that was the intention to set sail to syria with this $2100000.00 barrels of crude oil worth around $140000000.00 of current oil prices now that is the government position here they are clear on that iran is still saying it
12:03 am
was never go to syria in the 1st place so that is steamed by gibraltar is just being political messaging on the part of iran and a statement was put out by the government saying that the really the facts speak for themselves the evidence is clear. self-serving political statements. are of no relevance for the american position on all of this the united states department of justice attempt at the last minute to extend the detention order we've heard nothing further on that but the guidance from the government is that that it could be a long process so really you would expect this ship to set sail very quickly but it is a major just a cool job to get this ship the crew is on board but we have to assume here the merits or maritime law dictates the ship must be clearly identified right now as you can see here. has no name there is no name on the birth of the star
12:04 am
or the bio there is no flight to identify this ship is registered we know it is no iranian registered we know it should sail under the arabian flag those points are important but have to engage with maritime law before sailing into international waters and simmons live just off the coast of to process in the shadow of the grace one thanks andrea. lots more to come in this al-jazeera news hour including a spread to another part of the congo 2 people have tested positive positive after traveling on a bus from the epicenter plus. tango goes home the best dancers from around the world gather in when a site is installed roger federer is usa from preparation sake ahead of the cincinnati masses details coming up later in the break the.
12:05 am
u.s. democratic congresswoman rashida tell a has now said that she will not visit her grandmother in the occupied west bank and that's despite receiving permission from israel the interior minister of israel says that she would have been allowed on humanitarian grounds if she agreed not to call for a boycott on israel during her visit but she is maintaining that she won't be silenced and treated like a criminal earlier the deputy foreign minister of israel said she was banned because she loved it after lobbying efforts by president trump let's go live now to our correspondent in washington d.c. roslyn jordan and roslyn this is an intriguing tale isn't it 1st of all started with that a tweet from donald trump the israelis were in fact the prime minister benjamin
12:06 am
netanyahu said that these 2 congresswoman were not welcome then they changed their mind and said that rashida could come on humanitarian grounds. well martina it goes back even farther than that at least a month ago israeli officials including the ambassador to the u.s. ron dermer had indicated that both congresswoman omar and to leave would get visas to come to israel and the occupied west bank but it was only after it appears a concerted pressure from the trumpet ministration to deny these 2 sitting members of the u.s. congress permission to come to israel in the occupied west bank that the interior ministry revoked their visas then congresswoman to leave apparently wrote a lot or 2 of the interior ministry saying that she wanted to go to see her relatives including her 90 year old grandmother in the occupied west bank she was
12:07 am
asking for at mission on humanitarian grounds the interior ministry decided to grant that visa and then in the last 24 hours we have now seen the congresswoman decide that this was basically punishing her for her political views and that she was not going to agree to those conditions which she had said that she would use the visa after all there is a criticism coming from the israeli government suggesting that this was all a way of congresswoman to leave to up play politics and to make a political comment on israeli policies the congresswoman and her supporters for their part are saying that the israelis have have caved in to another governments a political view in essence of acting as donald trump's stooge to try to quash the free speech of political opponents to the president this is it's
12:08 am
still early it's only after 11 am here on the u.s. east coast we have not yet heard from the u.s. president who is not expected to be seen in public today he's still on holiday at one of his properties in new jersey. this is creating a real political firestorm because if if nothing else it has created a real rift not just between congressional democrats and israeli politicians but with between republicans and israeli politicians and with groups that have traditionally supported israel including the group apac which is perhaps the most prominent pro israel group in the u.s. political sphere so it's really been a lot of twists and turns a lot of changes really in the last 24 hours but it is something that is raising questions about when does a country have the right to talk about what is happening in another country and
12:09 am
when is it considered interference there accusations flying from both sides of the atlantic on this issue and interesting ross isn't it because it's put the focus firmly on the relationship between the united states and israel that the sound is for instance the independent senator who is it seeking the democratic nomination for the president's election saying that if israel wants to block elected members of the u.s. congress and perhaps should think twice about receiving the billions of dollars in aid that it receives every year. and that's a pretty blunt statement that is not something that u.s. politicians are prone to say you've also had the senate i mean excuse me the house majority leader stanny hoyer who said that after he was promised in person by the israeli ambassador to the u.s. ron dermer that both congresswomen would get visas to visit israel and the occupied west bank that when these visas were revoked he publicly stated that he didn't know
12:10 am
whether he could trust the israeli ambassador any more that's very very blunt talk coming from people who have been traditional supporters of israel of its right to exist and who have been loath to criticize its policies in the occupied west bank it's also a telling that even apac was quite critical something that you would never see a pack do of the israeli decision to or vote these visas so it's really it's not something that i think could be papered over very easily because this is involving 2 sitting members of the u.s. congress 2 people who are involved with oversight of how the u.s. spends its foreign policy and its military support dollars overseas this is a situation where again you're talking about the respect for elected politicians on
12:11 am
both sides of the atlantic and the question of how much influence should one government have on another government you might suggest martine that's perhaps an accidental question of foreign policy but in the case of the u.s. and israel it is showing a lot of a lot of cracks and what had been really a solid solid relationship all right. thank you very much. the largest anti-government protests in hong kong have started for an 11th week demonstrators of gathered in the central city to voice their anger at china's control of the former british territory the protests were triggered. which would have allowed for the extradition of suspects to mainland china and they grew into a much wider revolt demanding more democracy and for the resignation of the chief executive kerry lamb hoda abdel-hamid. this is a rally attended mainly by student the banner here being power to people liberate
12:12 am
home kong the revolution of our time we haven't seen any scenes of violence we haven't seen any police presence and actually organizers right at the beginning of this rally hold up under protest to remain peaceful now the message coming out of here is slightly different the protesters wanting to reach out to the outside world mainly the western world and they have their sort of asking the u.k. parliament to say that china has breached the city no british joint declaration of 1984 which actually hammered the status of hong kong and the autonomy or relative autonomy aid has from beijing and it's also calling on the u.s. congress and the u.k. parliament to consider in acting some sort of legislation which would pave the way to impose some sanctions on some members of the government here they didn't name it
12:13 am
but many would tell you that the basically they're talking about kerry lam the chief executive of hong kong and some other members of the government now called kong is gearing up for a weekend of many rallies and protests about 5 of them are scheduled you have people who will be all industries because they simply won't be. but the bigger rallies would be of these of the pro-democracy protesters sunday is a key day thousands and tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people expected cheer i 10 that rally authorities have not given the permission for any marches citing the fact that there have been these scenes of violence unfolding on the streets now the chief executive of hong kong's biggest airline has resigned
12:14 am
after cathay pacific employees were sacked and suspended for taking part in those pro-democracy protests board said reports home needed to be replaced because the airlines commitment to safety and security has been called into question china's leaders warned employees not to take part in the protests which closed the airport and grounded hundreds of flights. to patients suffering from the abella virus in the previous the touch province of the democratic republic of congo have been reported doctors in south kivu say a 24 year old woman and her child have tested positive after travelling from north keven at least $1800.00 people have already died of the disease since the latest outbreak in the d.l.c. was discovered over a year and malcolm webb has more from nairobi. the 2 new cases a woman the child of the 1st cases in the south kivu province the woman died on tuesday and was subsequently identified positively as an abode of patient now her
12:15 am
journey began in beni which is the epicenter of the a polar outbreak which started a year ago she traveled by bus and then by boat she traveled through 2 densely populated urban centers firstly the city of goma on the north shore of lake key which i was a population of about 2000000 and we 1st saw a bowl of cases there last month and she traveled by boat to the city because of you on the south shores of lake kivu we haven't yet seen any apolo cases there and if you travel to a remote village in south kivu province now this is more than 700 kilometers from where the bowl outbreak started about a year ago more than 1800 people have died since then in spite of a very effective vaccine and some recently reported successes of drugs used to treat patients if they caught early enough it's clear that the government still struggling to control the spread of this about a bird outbreak right now we can speak to mohamed moneer his electorate in
12:16 am
molecular there ology at lancaster university in the u.k. thank you for talking to us how alarming is this the fact that this outbreak in the d.l.c. has not been contained over a year a little thing about. 1800 people ready having died and now we know it's moved to another province. well matter of the fact of the diseases and make in the country and especially in the south part where several other casualties have been occurring the situation is not any different another part of the country as well because many of the cases or under determined under undetected therefore the chances that disease is still in the areas where there has not been reports is pretty high and especially in this case. 2 patients have been circulating in the country for a while from where the disease has been reported before they are highly likely for
12:17 am
catching up this infection because in this particular wire's ebola virus is highly infectious and it can very easily transmit from any contaminated sources to any person who got in contact with write it seems very much that the techniques the method being used at the moment to try to contain this is not working would you agree is it time for there to be a good change and a different method because of course we're talking about a population of more than 80000000 people a country is as big as western europe. well when we talk about ebola like a disease which is highly infectious and mackinder can treat not only just picked up you takes on the vaccine would be a solution the challenge is bit more complex there's a relatively lack of community engagement commitment lack of everyone knows so although i'm afraid i'm going to have to interrupt you because we
12:18 am
are going to urgently go to the united nations terribly sorry to interrupt you we can continue our conversation this is the scene outside the united nations security council they have just had. they've just had their consultations let's listen to what the ambassador has got to say about those talks but it will be mainly on the current situation concerning. kashmir and i'm sure you all following the situation or it closely this occurred a council has just how do you informal consultation and they listened very carefully. to reports. from the secretary it especially. including that the briefing from the military observer group on the roms and not helped us understand
12:19 am
the situation that now i'm sure you all know the secretary general also ysu that statement. a few days ago and judging from what i have heard from the discussions of this occurred council members have ex-president their serious concern concerning the current situation yet more. question here they are also concerned about at the human rights situation there and also is that general view. of numbers that parties concerned should refrain from taking an e.u. name that for action which might further await the tension there since detection is already were
12:20 am
a tense and very dangerous us photo china. i'm sure you have all notate the remarks made by our state councillor and the foreign minister while ye during his meetings with the pakistani and foreign minister and also they used in foreign minister china hose do we would that the use of kashmir is a use to laughter from history between india and pakistan according to development to security council got to do shouldn't this status of kashmir is and they fight it and it's international they've recognised the dispute because schmidt used to should be used ruth off to properly through peaceful means you know called as with the u.n. charter development security council resolutions and bilateral agreements
12:21 am
this represents the international. community's consensus. it's obvious now that the constitutional amendment by india has changed the status call in kashmir causing tensions in the tent and so is that tension. so we can see how serious the situation is. and dangerous ok and china is deeply concerned about counterfeiting and opposes any unilateral action not company case the situation and that we call upon development parties to exercise restraint act prudently and the in particular
12:22 am
not to take actions that will at work at work. the tensions what should be pointed out it's not india's action hants also challenge that china's sulpher in interests and a by related bilateral agreement i'm intending pews and a stability you know border area and are not china it's also very much fear is concerned and we wish to earn for size that such unilateral practice by india is not violate in violation to china and that will not change china's exercise of sovereignty and effective edom assertive tristin action or we're the territory. and i also wish to part of.
12:23 am
those india and it parked on our china's friendly neighbors and we are all major developing countries. post china oppose india and china now are and and sorry for that both india and pakistan are at a crucial stage of development we call long to 2 sides to such a stall by a development of their own and appease yourselves asia find out per person lucian to direct his tarik o. robin and. reverse since discard to do you very game mentality of wanted to unilateral action under federal disputes peacefully and to maintain the peace and the security in that reason collectively and the trying to lee that's what i wish to share with cody
12:24 am
from the media and not in a position to answer more questions ever do that in the coming days when we have a more convenient time thank you. one of us was right to k. so that the chinese ambassador. at the united nations talking just start there what seems to be the fairly brief consultative meeting was held behind closed doors i think now we've got the pakistani ambassador to the united nations coming to the podium so we listen to her let's listen to her let me say on behalf of pakistan pakistan welcomes this meeting off the u.n. security council to discuss the disputed state of jammu and kashmir this meeting was cord on the request of my country's foreign minister within 72 hours he asked for this meeting in
12:25 am
a letter that i communicated to the president of the security council and as a consequence we are grateful to china for also joining us in calling this meeting let me start by saying. the voice of the people the voice of people of occupied kashmir has been heard to be in the highest diplomatic photo of the word they are not alone their voices have been heard their plight their hardships that band their suffering the occupation and the consequences of that occupation has been heard in the un security council today the fact that this meeting took place is testimony to the fact that this is an internationally recognized dispute there was an effort to stop this meeting from convening. and we are grateful to all 15 members of the u.n. security council for it agreeing to having this meeting this meeting has reaffirmed
12:26 am
the validity of u.n. security council resolutions on the state of the occupied state of general and. as far as my country is concerned we stand ready for a peaceful settlement of the dispute of jammu and kashmir i think today this meeting not defies india's claim that general and kashmir is an internal matter for india today and the whole word is discussing the occupied state and the situation there as the chinese ambassador emphasized the human rights situation in jammu and kashmir and it is an abysmal human rights situation with file ations gutted out with impunity by india that too has been discussed by the security council today this let me say
12:27 am
i've been on the telephone to my foreign minister and he has conveyed that this is the 1st step. that pakistan on pakistan's request that we have taken on behalf of the people of jammu and kashmir this is the 1st and not the last step it will not end here it will only end when justice is done to the people of jammu and kashmir in conclusion i only want to see. what i started with the people of jammu and kashmir may be locked up their voices may not be heard in their own homes and in their own land but their weiss's were heard today at the united nations and their voices will always be heard because pakistan will always stand by them extending full diplomatic and political support we are grateful to the members
12:28 am
of the security council for taking up this issue this is the 1st time in over 50 years that this issue has been deliberated upon by the security council i attacked you on bride so that. lodhi the pakistani ambassador to the united nations talking about the significance from her point of view of the fact that the united nations all 15 members security council have met in closed session to discuss the issue of kashmir the disputed region of kashmir my kind as our correspondent who's there at the un. first of all let's start with should we start with the chinese ambassador who came out and actually articulated his own country's interest in this region because of course there is part of of kashmir that is administered by china. yes indeed the chinese ambassador speaking there remembering that it was china that in the end formally called this
12:29 am
closed meeting of the security council after pakistan had called for a number of occasions but it was the letter from china that actually set this meeting in motion the ambassador there the chinese ambassador highly critical of india as you mentioned he said china has a shared interest in that particular region pointing out as well that they are all neighbors and it's absolutely essential he says for some kind of resolution to be arrived at he was highly critical in terms of india removing certain provisions constitutional provisions in indian administrate kashmir and he made very clear to that china was extremely unhappy and extremely concerned about what he sees as india's attempts to unilaterally change the nature of that entire region we heard there from the pakistan ambassador to. once again thanking the security council coming together pointing out that it's the 1st time since 1971 that the security
12:30 am
council has formally addressed this issue now part of the problem and part of the whole confusion about mediation here or u.n. involvement is the fact that india has adopted a non-recognition policy in terms of which it says that everything has to be bilateral between it and pakistan it does not recognize any u.n. authority over the disputed region despite the fact that there has been a u.n. military observer group in that area since 1948 since partition so basically the meeting came to no form of a formal agreement whatsoever one diplomat said that any outcome was dead on arrival given the differences within the council but also importantly given the fact that the council is very very careful not to inflame the situation which many considers it could do if it took some kind. formal action or enlarge his authority over the disputed region indeed it was interesting i thought the pakistani
12:31 am
ambassador very much echoing the prime minister's words imran khan's words imran khan has has pledged basically to to start an international campaign in order to have the voices of of kashmir is heard and that is exactly what she said she said this is the 1st step the 1st of many and this is a campaign that is to continue she said that the human rights situation is being addressed and she presented this very much as a as a victory for the pakistan side of this debate. i think what's very important to note here martine is that pakistan may have something broader on its agenda than the immediate crisis in kashmir and that is that it is seeking some way in which to enlarge u.n. involvement in the particular region not as i mentioned the u.n. has had a military observer group there more than 40 people but it is strictly contained to
12:32 am
the line of control and as i mentioned to india does not recognize any u.n. authority saying that that authority ended with the riemann back in 1972 so here we've got a situation where you've got an observer group or you an observer group which reports back to the secretary general but since 972 the secretary general has not reported to the security council on the affairs of that observer group or indeed what it has been discovering so here you've got a situation where pakistan clearly believes that the un and the security council is not living up to its responsibilities as outlined in numerous resolutions in the past so that is on the pakistan attempt to broaden u.n. involvement within the area using the current crisis perhaps as leverage but obviously from india's point of view this is absolutely unacceptable it stands by its policy of non-recognition it stands by its refusal to see the un has it having
12:33 am
any authority over indian controlled kashmir and micah it might be an impossible question to answer nonetheless do we know then whether they're having had the consultations whether the security council is prepared to consider the situation of kashmir again perhaps more formally in a concession. well he will have a situation here where they haven't done so for some 50 years very difficult to see them carrying on at this particular stage now the reason why this meeting was held in closed session it was a procedural matter all the members of the council did not want india and pakistan present this for a number of reasons that they believe that they fully understand the positions adopted by both india and pakistan but also they wanted to create a scenario where they could have free interchange of opinions among themselves without being defeated as it were by the presence of the parties in the council now
12:34 am
an open session would mean that india and pakistan could take part in that debate should they wish to clearly council members do not want this to happen that is why they call disclose session now leaving out india and pakistan so it's unlikely that they're going to reverse that particular decision and now go into an open debate involving india and pakistan along with the 15 members all right mike stick around if you would because i suspect that we might be talking again a little bit later on because at the u.n. outside the security council the assembled press corps are waiting they understand that the indian ambassador to the u.n. is due to come there and say some words and calls where will cover. the indian ambassador has to say but just a reminder that the u.n. security council has tried to resolve this kashmiri for decades have a multiple resolutions the most important one requires a plebiscite it to be held which would determine the population's
12:35 am
a legion so either india or pakistan and that was supposed to happen on the condition that pakistan has supported fighters in kashmir would withdraw india was also required to reduce its troops to a quote a minimum level new delhi it was asked to ensure all major parties in the kashmir region were involved in government but in the 1950 s. . india distance itself from holding that because it said that pakistani forces hadn't left the territory and kashmir has remained a disputed territory ever since so as i say we are waiting for the indian ambassador at the u.n. just outside the u.n. security council actually we are keeping a very close eye on that we're going to look at some other news that as soon as indian ambassador starts taking the take you right back there thought to zimbabwe now because riot police of injured protesters complaining about the high cost of living running battle started in the capital harare after the high court dismissed
12:36 am
an opposition attempt to overturn a ban on the demonstrations has more from harare. what was meant to be a protest over the economy turned into chaos police in zimbabwe had banned the demonstration saying they were expecting violence alleging some opposition supporters were armed a high court judge dismissed an application by the opposition movement for democratic change to overturn the ban opposition leaders then called off the march but some of their supporters were defiant saying they had a democratic right to demonstrate in a show of force right please remind people what happens in a country with a history of brutally silencing voices of dissent from one of the words. in boys not free where are we going as a country we are suffering we're hungry we can't afford to send our children to school. but every time the police dispersed the crowd some of them kept
12:37 am
trying to come back some opposition supporters are refusing to disperse so riot police are slowly trying to push them back the aim is to get them out of the city center the police fear that if people are to stay in this area they could be looting and damage to property many zimbabweans blame president was government economic mismanagement soaring inflation rise. in food prices and growing unemployment they say they want an end to their misery and to be heard every road leading into iraq is good police stops they have thousands and thousands of people that are stopping people come come from our well as was just an hour of their much along. the lines of a somewhat of much of a can of kind of in a position a petition to parliament it doesn't last for more than one hour but it critically it has been stopped much of our a city center was unusually quiet on friday shops and businesses were closed many people stayed home fearing violence president says fixing the economy will take
