and the places that my colleagues go it inspires me to take a different her. just how i would point. out. iran's military might on display as its president says he'll put forward a go security plan to the united nations. there again this year with al-jazeera life and also coming up hong kong summer of

discontent continues with barricades tear gas and street battles. israel's president begins talks with a private party leaders to try to form a new government after repeated lection ends in another stalemate. thousands of tourists in danger of being stranded as the world's oldest travel company struggles to avoid collapse. the president has a rouhani says iran will present a plan to the u.n. which is designed to secure the gulf without the need of foreign intervention he made the promise while watching parades showcasing his country's military strength tensions are high after a series of attacks most recently a missile and drone strike on saudi arabia's oil industry he has more from tehran. against the backdrop of a military parade iran's president proposed

a new security plan for gulf waterways sure. we're going to presume to plan at the u.n. so that iran and. liberation with regional states is able to maintain security in the persian gulf the strait of hormuz and the sea of oman to the world that the presence of foreign forces can cause insecurity for international waterways maritime movements and energy security our approach will create solidarity unity and coordination with the countries of the region. iran's peace plan comes at a critical time pushing a message of peace and hope in her moves at the un general assembly in new york rouhani will be trying to sink the latest american backed international coalition being formed in the middle east this time to patrol international shipping lanes in the gulf the u.s. floated the idea of a maritime coalition after attacks on oil tankers earlier this year america and gulf allies blamed iran for the explosions investigators said they found no

conclusive evidence to say who carried out the attacks countries that have joined the maritime patrol missions so far britain bahrain saudi arabia more recently australia and the united arab emirates. following attacks on saudi oil plants last week also blamed on iran without definitive proof iran's leaders will be concerned about the u.s. plan gaining more support. of the wrong imo those who want to link the region's incidents but the islamic republic of iran align just like the apostles which have been revealed if the truthful and really sick security in the region they must not see him with pins 5 digits bombs and to the region. this week even since cities across the country will mark the beginning of iran's 8 year war with iraq in 1900 gulf arab states supported ben iraqi president saddam hussein something rouhani reminded iranians of in his speech but he also said that all can be forgiven if there is unity among islamic countries but the united states is only interested in

dividing the region and pillaging resources and that the security of the region lasting security is only up to the people indigenous to the area. of the secretary of state to trumpet ministrations policy regarding iran is to avoid war and that u.s. forces are in the region for defense 40 years terror from iran and any somatic the medical set of leaders that would like to wipe israel america from the face of the earth our mission set is to avoid war you saw when secretary asprin announced on friday we're putting additional forces in the region for the purpose of deterrence and defense whether objected to be very clear to support the arabian people so they can get this regime to cease behaving in a way that is so destructive not only to their own country but to the entire middle east. correspondent in washington john 100 and it's been a week but we've come from the. language of not. from

president. down to risk restraint and to tyrants coming from secretary of state. that's right both sides have sort of backed off on this rhetorical war between the u.s. and iran you have pompei of there saying a couple of key things a stalking about a peaceful resolution he said president trump and i want to give diplomacy every opportunity to succeed that is definitely calmer rhetoric but there is also some pessimism the iranian foreign minister mohammad javad zarif said on american television on sunday morning it's all going in the wrong direction and asked directly whether he was confident that war could be avoided he said i'm not confident we can avoid a war for his part president trump said that during the united nations general assembly meeting this week he is not inclined to speak to iran he didn't rule it out he said nothing is ever off the table but i have no intention of meeting with

iran this all happens as hundreds of u.s. troops have been sent to the region to buttress the air defenses of saudi arabia sir tensions remain high if there's it's not clear that nobody is going to be talking to each other the fact that president trump says he won't be engaging in discussions is not unexpected there could be lower level conversations there but could be conversations through intermediaries between the u.s. and iran but right now as far as we know nobody's talking right and how does congress and the why do u.s. public feel about more u.s. military personnel and equipment being sent to the middle east at a time when of kools donald trump is preparing to fight another election and central to that is is the promise of him withdrawing american troops from from was approved it. well there's a lot of apprehension on capitol hill and across america this is a country that after all has been engaged in military conflict now for 18 years the

american public is wary of that president trump campaigned saying he was going to pull the united states out of iraq and afghanistan i think the last thing he wants is to get embroiled in another conflict and that's probably reflected in the fact that he sent hundreds of troops to the region and not thousands of troops so a lot of tough rhetoric i don't think donald trump wants to walk into that 2020 a lecture and with a new military conflict and people worried about americans dying abroad they really want those troops to be pulled out most polls show that there's a lot of support for the withdrawal of troops from both iraq and afghanistan and trump seems to be aware of that and he seems to be considering that when looking at the 2020 campaign you don't have to live in washington. now hong kong police and fire tear gas to disperse protesters in trash pretty much parts of a shopping mall and an adjacent metro station some people also set small fires near the mall and shoutin district the self-governing chinese territory is being gripped

by 4 months of often violent demonstrations they began and over a proposed section which has since been scrapped scott the highlight has moved from inside that mall. on a day that we had to subpoena the focus for the protest movement to be at the hong kong international airport it has actually shifted here to a mall in the shot in area of hong kong for a couple of reasons for that one is this is an area this is a mall in particular that the protesters feel as though they were subjected to police brutality back in july that was one of the reasons they came here another reason there are business entities shops restaurants in this mall that the protesters feel have extra connection to beijing so they came here to boycott them actually there are a lot of signs on the floor and as you can see some something that looks like a stream or behind me that's one of these restaurants part of this group that they came out and stole the reservation tickets and hung that up here they've been protesting they've been chanting they've been singing the anthem actually they even

brought in a chinese flag and they had kind of a congo line of people stepping on the chinese like for about 1015 minutes now there are still a lot of people milling about in this mall this is something we saw on saturday as well they focused on a mall in the new territories as well where right now this is where the focus of the protest movement is on sunday we expected it to be at the at the hong kong international airport but there are a lot of checkpoints around there so we suspect that they moved on and a lot of the focus is going to be here. israel's president with political rival leaders aimed at choosing the next prime minister last week's election didn't produce a clear winner and neither prime minister benjamin netanyahu noise main rival benny gantz could muster enough votes to form a majority government policies were now put forward their recommendations to the president and then he will make the. final decision let's go live now to our correspondent in west jerusalem harry for said so harry as this process gets underway who is in pole position. well benny

gantz is blue and white party is in pole position in terms of the sheer numbers they got 33 seats in the knesset the israeli parliament and as far as that goes that obviously gives them something of an advantage at least to begin with and right now the delegation from blue and white is inside the president's residence here president rivlin is meeting with them he has recommended benny gantz the leader of that delegation lawn one of the 3 former israeli army chiefs who are at the top of the blue and white party however the key question is how many recommendations from other parties they might get how many might go to lee could and benjamin netanyahu and even then the president has a good deal of discretion a good deal of power to decide well there could be another alternative i might see it in

a different way from the sheer numbers he's not likely to get past the 61 that would almost mandate somebody that would be a majority in the majority in the knesset he said that he wants to see a unity government between blue and white and blue could and he wants to avoid a 3rd election the key stick stumbling block to that of course is benjamin netanyahu himself blue and white and many other potential partners has said that they want him gone before any such unity government could happen and the position as this process gets under way all of the palestinian israeli parties to the community of which came out to vote in higher numbers than previously. that's right it's known as the joint list it's an alliance for many palestinian israeli parties they are meeting right now to decide whether or not to recommend benny gantz as prime minister they have 13 seats in the knesset that puts them in

the 3rd largest party because more of that constituency did come out to vote some 60 percent this time around compared to just under 50 percent in april zelenka shin's there is some it seems dissension with within the ranks they've decided to have a vote we understand and then the vote that the decision which should take place before $530.00 local time it's about 10 past 5 here right now that would be binding if they did come out and recommend guns that would be the 1st time such a thing happened since 1992 it signifies a couple of things firstly they want to engineer the downfall of benjamin netanyahu they've made that very clear but also they have an agenda to try and get more engaged least their leadership does that the leader of the of the joint mr i'm a nobody wants to get more engaged in israeli politics not simply make make speeches from the sidelines and talk about palestinian national issues they want to get more engaged in israeli domestic policy.
