a crisis meeting as fears grow over the spread of a beloved from b d r congo to uganda. and voice assistance like amazon has the campaigners say that's a step too far plus australian football fans breathe a huge sigh of relief at the women's world cup as one of the tournament favorites returns to the winner's circle at the expense of powerhouse brazil. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program the united states and iran have sharply escalated their war of words over attacks on to oil tankers in the gulf of oman the u.s. military has released a video which it says supports claims that tehran is to blame for the explosions now the u.s. secretary of state might pompei also allege that tehran was behind the blast but iran says that the u.s.

allegations are baseless and has accused washington of warmongering. smoke billows from a stricken ship but is it a smoking gun the u.s. says iran was behind attacks on 2 oil tankers in the gulf of oman this is based on intelligence the weapons used the level of expertise needed to execute the operation recent similar arabian attacks on shipping and the fact that no proxy group operating in the area have the resources and proficiency to act with such a high degree of sophistication. the u.s. military has released photographs appearing to show damage and a limp it's mine on one of the time because. it also published a video of grainy black and white footage that it says shows evidence of iran's revolutionary guard removing an unexploded limp it. on thursday

a fire broke out on a norwegian oil tanker following explosions. hours later a 2nd tanker japanese owned also radioed for help both ships had departed from saudi arabia and had passed through the strait of hormuz as a strategically important waterway which carries a 5th of all global oil supplies iran has rejected the u.s. accusations and says its navy came to the aid of one of the ships iranian state t.v. broadcast images of the rescued crew members iran's foreign minister said the incidents were suspicious. and leaders from around the world expressed. facts must be established and responsibilities gratified. and they flew something the world cannot afford is a major confrontation in the gulf region russia cautioned against rushing to blame iran. we've recently witnessed an escalation campaign of political psychological

and military pressure on iran. against speculating about the events that have just occurred to aggravating the situation in an anti iranian sense. conclusion is just weeks since the us blamed iran for a series of attacks on 4 other ships in the region thanks to all details have yet to be released iran has also rejected those accusations let's get more now we're joined here in the studio by from the german institute for international and security affairs a think tank here in berlin welcome to the program good morning. to tell us because we see the united states there clearly pointing to iran are you convinced. i am convinced not by the u.s. argumentation yet but simply by the coincidence it is in iranian model models of iran need to use limpet mines and to show the united states that they have

opportunities. to attack the flow of oil in the persian gulf in the straits of hormuz but at the same time they are not attacking directly i think there are clear signs that the iranians are responsible the u.s. navy fleet is now in the region we know that this comes against a really intense backdrop of tensions between these 2 countries iran and the united states where do you see this happening i don't know yet because after the latest escalation last month there was widespread fear of a military escalation that has eased a little bit simply because president trump said that he personally is not interested here is his. a pale and bolton might be interested in a military escalation he is not and that is why i think the danger is not as concrete as it might have been some 6 weeks ago but still it is because the iranian

revolutionary guards who i think are responsible. clearly escalating these attacks here have been a lot more serious than the attacks 4 weeks ago why would they be doing this well because they under constant american pressure and according to their view and them mentality they have to show that they will not give in to this pressure these are the most radical elements. of the iranian military elite and they have been fighting the israelis the saudis and other forces in the region for nearly 15 years now and they simply want to show we are here in case you want to attack us united states saudi arabia united arab emirates we can stop the flow of oil through the straits of hormuz that's the clear message of these events just walk us through how critical this area especially is i mean this

is where for example a 3rd of the world's petroleum passes. well yeah it's simply it's the energy region of the planet some of the biggest oil and gas supporters are based in the persian gulf among them saudi arabia kuwait as a gas exporter and the straits of hormuz is is quite a narrow narrow place and the iranians by using limpet mines by using all these small means top aid and so on would be able to prevent many ships from passing through and that is that is why these events are are so dangerous and if this goes on as it has been going on for. 2 months now we will see a military escalation before the end of the prompt administration will see a military escalation before the end of the trial should we be preparing for that for an armed military conflict and yes it will run in the united states yes we

should it might be by coincidence because something like that happens in the gulf of oman or the persian gulf or the straits of hormuz but there is another point the iranians have presented the europeans with another tomato if the if the europeans don't give any present the multitude it is to improve the economic situation they will. restart iranian enrichment off july 7th and then we will not only have the united states navy. on the planet but also the israeli air force with that assessment thank you. the world health organization is to hold an emergency meeting in geneva later to determine whether the latest outbreak of ebola should be deemed a global health emergency the disease has spread to uganda where 2 members of the same family a 5 year old boy and his grandmother have passed away now uganda has returned

other family members to the d.r. c including another young boy confirmed to have the virus ugandan health officials are already putting measures in place to try and combat spread of the deadly disease. borders can't stop a virus but ugandan authorities are trying on the last 3 ebola cases have been registered in the country it's the 1st known cross border spread since an outbreak began in the neighboring democratic republic of congo last august fears are growing that this might only be the beginning worked out great in the d n a c is still going on and by today we have over 2000. cases and so the probability over more cases. into uganda these very high. ebola isn't new to uganda the country has seen 5 outbreaks of the

disease since the year 2000 it has now stepped up efforts to contain the virus screening everyone entering uganda from the eastern. the government is also deploying an experimental ebola vaccine for health care workers along the border so full frighted flush out the few bucks in that again all the front line health walk was out of the under ring vaccination for the quantize. because of past successes in combating the disease uganda is widely regarded as being at the forefront of the fight against ebola. but given the most recent cases many ugandans feel uneasy and wish their country would do more to educate citizens about the virus the government does not done enough just as there is people about to board because they think the up the government should have started the from the rural areas but you know when people have the symptoms they want to hide the name it meets with a great opportunism which now spreads davies's to 2 white areas. on

friday the world health organization will decide whether this outbreak should be declared an international health emergency. and let's get more now. tarik a bitch from the world health organization who is joining us from geneva welcome to the program and thank you for speaking with us we'd like to begin by asking you what impact do you see the declaration of this outbreak as a global health emergency having on countries abilities to respond to the virus. well as you have said in your report today we will have a 3rd meeting of the emergency committee on the u. ball outbreak in democratic republic of congo and basically the committee will look into a new development. into what happens with cases going over to to uganda and see if if death and other developments inside you are congo

constitute enough of elements to declare global health emergency no deploy global health emergency means basically that the choice ringing an alarm bell at the international level saying that there is there is a vent that there was in going international risk and that there is a need for additional support now the support may be different things in different diseases i would remind you that so far global health emergency has been declared 4 times during crises ebola in 2014 h one n one and. so for different diseases it may. be a clinic for different things but also what is important is that while we ask for more support and more attention we want to avoid any unnecessary travel and reask travel or trade restrictions that some countries may feel they should be doing it so we really want to issue a recall one day shows that steps would be done fellow by countries that are

affected by the crisis but also other countries and that step that also means to fender i would advice on any travel and trade restrictions that countries may feel that it is a should do a what lessons have been learned from the last bull outbreak in west africa in 2013 and how do you see things perhaps being done differently now. well i think everyone learned a lot of lessons. during that outbreak in 20142015 in west africa and the key messages are really that we need to go into community we need to talk to community and we need community to really on the response we have seen ones that the community really starts in gauging and following the advice from from the public health authorities we are able to contain the virus are right now in d.r. congo be operating in a very complex environment there is a security instead beauty that prevents on on many occasions so far prevented teams

to go into communities and to. to to to vaccinate people to provide treatment to get people out of community into treatment centers and when we are not able to go to community then we seem to intensification of the virus spread in those communities and this is why disabled bricky so different from previous ones because there is this security context that's really holds back up their response this time around we have seen something we didn't have in 2014 we know that scene is sufficient and has already prevented a number of cases that would have happened either wise we also have new therapeutics so we are better equipped we have people on the ground we have strategies that work what we need at this forward physical and security environment to be created so sore so we can do our job and this is why we are happy that you any stepping up gauge might as well and we thank you so much for that view on those

efforts to get this virus under control in the region. on the world health organization in geneva thank you. let's get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world sudan's state prosecutor has announced that ousted former president omar al bashir has been charged with corruption bashir was toppled by the military in april following months of protest against him the legal action comes as mediators stepped up efforts to end the standoff between the country's military rulers and their civilian opponents. and the man accused of killing $51.00 people have to christ church mosques has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges brought against him the 28 year old australian so brant in toronto entered not guilty plea used to $51.00 charges of murder 40 charges of attempted murder and one terrorism charge when he appeared at christ church high court in relation to the march 15th massacre are fired a rocket launched from the gaza strip has struck a house and

a setter out city in southern israel police say that it caused no casualties there was no immediate comment from palestinian factions. another top aide to u.s. president donald trump is quitting white house spokesperson sarah huckabee sanders is to leave her job at the end of the modeling trump said that she would return to our home state of arkansas and praised her as quote a warrior sanders has been his spokeswoman since 27 teams and her tenure has seen a fall in regular press briefings and growing questions about the administration's credibility a replacement has not yet been named. our washington correspondent helen humphrey sent us this assessment of that latest development at the white house. under sarah huckabee saunders regular white house press briefings became a thing of the past the last formal one that she held was on the 11th of march now without doubt she was one of the president's most trusted aides and one of the few

remaining staff members who'd worked on his campaign but unlike so many who have passed through the white house's seemingly revolving door it seems there are no hard feelings quite the opposite in fact we've huckabee saunders pledging to remain one of the most outspoken and loyal supporters of the president and trump saying that he was encouraging her to run for governor when she returns home to arkansas still her credibility has certainly come into question she has had a combative relationship with the media frequently reporting her bosses are afraid of fake news and whatever the public made of her performance the simple fact is by the end of her tenure she wasn't really a press secretary but a top adviser to the president he was reported to have consulted on a range of issues that was washington correspondent helen humphrey here in germany authorities are working on new guidelines which would allow them to access data

held by digital voice assistance such as amazon's alexa privacy campaigners are strongly opposed to be idea but the interior minister insists that law abiding citizens have nothing to fear. alexa is omnipresent and hears everything a command could come at any time as soon as the name alexa is said out loud every piece of information is stored in the cloud that's made the german interior ministry take notice it wants to explore whether alexa and systems like it can be useful in fighting crime. com depletes needs to politicians can't just log on while the internet aids criminals that's when it's that's what matters it's not about law abiding citizens who have to fear they're being monitored delegates so technically speaking getting ahold of crime related data would be possible but most servers where the data is stored are located in other countries amazon recently made it

clear that no customer data would be released without a valid legal order that means it will hand over customer information if order to according to u.s. law american intelligence services are allowed to ask for customer data and pass it on at least when it pertains to foreign nationals but german data protectionists are skeptical. the price for the price of these demands would be to make expensive deals with other countries which would then through their intelligence agencies on the ground facilitate access to data on german citizens and allies to german opposition parties one of bigger dangers in. germany everyone must have the possibility to exert complete privacy over their thoughts and communications if the core of privacy in one's life is affected then every investigation a nation undertakes is a failure. in germany the debate over the limits of people's privacy is growing.

the city seized on there was a big clash at the women's football world cup yesterday evening anthony howard is here to take us through the game between brazil and australia and australia really needed the best they did for many many reasons they're now strether trust a 2nd cut some months before the world cup they were really fancied same and there's no reason yet given as to why they did that and went to the straight and kind to the world cup on really unsteady footing then i got to the 1st game and i lose against italy cue the pill clutching there's a lot of questions being asked was this wrong is the the sacking the reason i didn't perform against italy so it made it really really important when i faced brazil the might of brazil that i get a good result all of that meant that there was a tension dripping from this guy whose only moving reports. brazil welcomes their star player monster back to the side and when the referee awarded a penalty for this shirt. she stepped up to school the opening goal from the spot that was her 16th world cup go to new record. australia soon found themselves to no

down crosstown cristiana and the in-form strike a sense of glancing heading into the far corner brazil were flying but then australia's fight began 1st came in 4th the deficit touching home from close range then after half time chloe look god knows cross they did everyone and found its way into the net $22.00 and the momentum was with australia the matildas took advantage this longball caused confusion in brazil's defense and monica headed past goalkeeper. a spirited fight back from australia and one that keeps their world cup hopes alive. and we've brave the strength how much and it's going to be for them good yeah absolutely but it got a bit of help from the v.o.r. that was a really strange decision that. lad that final goal some australian may be recalling of the miracle of montpellier i'm not sure it's quite loaves and fishes really

great victory great results and it means that now destiny is back in their hands when i pledge my critics to ok it was not a match also there was china versus south africa china might have a really great impression in the open and against germany that kicked the lumps out of the german girls but they also proved themselves to be a really competent team as we take a look at some of the action from south africa we're going to see is what was missing actually in the 1st dive and that's the finishing touches right bowling from the wing great finish from leaving in the 44th minute and i get what i didn't get against germany a crucial goal the latest hopped on they looked like them out of going to. go on technology ruled that one out one it was enough to get the result right result for china but in the broader context there that means that germany guaranteed to get out of the group fantastic result for them they can now plan for the knockout stages of got to the luxury of being able to put time into their preparation and you've got the temptation you would think just to get on the phone to the giants

and say boys who didn't make it out of the group in russia what we're doing it's not that well you didn't eat anthony khoury thank you. and i'm saying with the world of football and at the copa america the men's south american championship starts later today the host brazil won their tournament the last 6 or 6 years ago and have been struggling ever since it's a strange situation for the country where football is more religion than sport. brazil are no longer on top of the football world the national team doesn't instill fear into their opponents like they once did brazil won their 1st world cup in 1958 with pele. beto was part of the team that picked up the title in 1994 when the country last won the world cup in 2002. if you put on the brazil jersey you have to be passionate you must enjoy it you must really really want it when i

was nominated for the national side the 1st time i was delighted to they should feel the same way. toward this. but the fans continue to support the team they've gone a long time without success in 2007 brazil won the cup by many and in 2013 the confederations cup. now they're superstar neymar is out injured the world's most expensive player will miss the copa america it's a big blow for brazil neymar left brazil when he was $21.00 most of the young up and coming stars leave to play in europe fever reports say more than $800.00 players left brazil last year alone higher wages and better conditions attract the young players. promising talents like junior who was joined around madrid is just one example.

in the old days the players stayed longer at their home clubs and i identified a lot more with them. but that's a thing of the past many players go away to europe way too early and lose contact to the people here. over. the connection between players and fans was once sacred. but there's a feeling that is no longer the case. and neymar has problems off the pitch to pursue. and police have again been questioning him in a rape case he's been accused of forcing himself on a woman in a hotel in paris the city where he plays for his club paris amman neymar has denied the accusations and said that the sex was consensual. meantime in basketball the toronto raptors have become the 1st canadian team to win the n.b.a. championship fans back home in toronto celebrated long into the night after they beat defending champions the golden state warriors in game 6 in california that

gave the raptors and an assailable $42.00 series when. a quick reminder of the top stories we're following for you here andy w the united states has released a video it says proves that iran was behind the attacks on 2 oil tankers in the gulf of oman on thursday but iran has called the claim baseless and alarming. the next step in business to get a cooling is back and get heart offers has that story and a whole lot more that's true we're talking about the big car that has seen a big comeback you remember last year it went to $20000.00 and then crash down to $92000.00 but since the beginning of the year it's come back up it's an 8 sauza now we're talking with it with the current expert about this new rally for bitcoin and maybe it's actually worse for investors to have a new look at it that's coming up in just a few minutes time when you take over their heart affairs there and don't forget
