a strategically important waterway which carries a 5th of all global oil supplies that iran has rejected to 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 the responsibility is gratified. and if there is 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 and aggravating the situation in an empty iranian sense. which.
12:04 pm
is just weeks since the us blamed iran for a series of attacks on 4 other ships in the region. details have yet to be released iran has also rejected those accusations. earlier we spoke to bag from the german institute for international and security affairs he told us the world should prepare for an armed conflict between the united states and iran the strait of hormuz is a crucial to the flow of middle east oil exports and therefore a strategic position for iran to attack here's what he said it's simply it's the energy region of the of the planet some of the biggest oil and gas supporters. in the persian gulf among them saudi arabia kuwait as a gas exporter and the strait of hormuz is quite a narrow narrow place and the iranians by using limpet mines by using all these small means top and so on would be able to prevent many ships from passing through
12:05 pm
and that is that is why these events 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 administration. all right let's bring in journalist amir have assy from the french news agency a.f.p. he is in tehran joins us from there for more on the story thank you for joining us let's talk about some of the accusations right now that are flying around the u.s. has released a video saying that claiming to show iran's revolutionary guard removing an unexploded mine but crew members from the japanese tanker say it was hit by a flying object so what are people there saying could have caused the damage to this tanker. and thanks for having me well all right now interestingly the media here are from the top to the about the situation no one is exactly blaming. or same
12:06 pm
with the exact cause has been stayed pretty factual. pretty on point but the. false flag operation or anything that's not. the flying around a lot on what analysts on for instance you might perceive. as you can see the capital if you want anything to do with this and the also the. inconsistency if they're having problems. well that's the captain missing the flying objects so exactly what has caused the situation is still unclear and you think it's pretty amazing that things have changed so much that the wrong is one on one that's trying to come to the. point. there while the u.s. is the one that is jumping the gun. it is pretty remarkable on the air as you said iran says that it is innocent there is no factual evidence proving otherwise how do
12:07 pm
they then explain what happened. oh world you can refer to us as a street saying that it's called unquote the b. team that has been trying to undermine the plumes well it is pretty well again that this happened just a bit before a prime minister was meeting iran's leader and it does sound that it wouldn't exactly this not go to that we that we bid even if you think you're on your own will be the one that will be losing moves from such a thing so the idea that you're wrong would be behind it according to themselves would be a. very young beast you could stick so if they are pointing fingers in a sense which is not official yet it's toward the u.s. and us and that they're saying that this was not an operation with the wrong ones you could see a false flag operation with themselves the situation is escalating eimear remind us again what is at stake here for iran. well. with tensions when
12:08 pm
you've got a waiting in the middle east gulf is not a good thing anyone especially in. the coming war we can do so most of the way through sanctions against well such a thing happening in the home for this economy where seizing increases every day. for diplomacy and talks to crease the tensions rather than is actually kind of a realization. that. increases the likelihood of the chance conflict of something happening in the region. you know and also you can refer to well mr. bush did. still hold situation tension in the region is the u.s. for iran has been. such an increasing tensions so i ask what's at stake for iraq there's a lot it's not good for
12:09 pm
a journalist amir have a say from the french news agency a.f.p. thank you very much for your analysis. now to some other stories making news around the world the man accused of killing $51.00 people at 2 christ church mosques has pleaded not guilty to all the charges brought against him the 28 year old australian brenton terror and entered not guilty pleas 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 hearings sudan's state prosecutor has announced that ousted former president omar al bashir has been charged with corruption or was toppled by the military in april following months of protests against him the legal action comes as needy aiders step up efforts to end the standoff between the country's military rulers and their civilian opponents. and another top aide to u.s. president donald trump is quitting white house spokeswoman sarah huckabee sanders is to leave her job at the end of june sanders has been trump spokeswoman since
12:10 pm
2017 and her tenure as seen growing questions about the administration's credibility a replacement hasn't yet been a. drug and chemicals company buyer has a lot of p.r. all sensitive to counter the growing criticism of its weed killer roundup and its controversial key ingredient. the company says it's listened and understood and will find a more sustainable alternative to life is a. buyer is making headlines once again following talks with politicians shareholders and environmental activists the company has conceded that it must make changes they promise to invest 5000000000 euros in research over the next 10 years to develop a more sustainable alternative to glide for site in the p.r. campaign however by air is repeating it mantra for site is safe when used correctly and it wishes to continue selling the product but the very existence of this p.r.
12:11 pm
campaign shows buyer is feeling the pressure of court cases in the us have done particular damage to the company's image and their bank balance by a was sued for $2000000000.00 in my by a married couple who both got cancer and a further $13400.00 people have filed lawsuits their dented reputation is reflected in the share price which is almost halved in just one year shareholders are understandably disgruntled and they didn't hold back against c.e.o. of in about a month at the annual shareholders meeting and i pulled they fear the acquisition of months santa and with it the weed killer roundup could spell the end for environmental activists just as unhappy they pointed out the potential risks of life a site long ago. is with us to talk more about the story where we're seeing here from by is this an about face well not really it's they did not stopping not getting out of life that they don't take it off the mark
12:12 pm
or anything it is as our colleague said in the piece it's a p.r. exercise these are the the ads they've put into a variety of newspapers today both in germany energy markets like the u.s. and france it's a bit of a green wash they say they want to invest 5000000000 euros in alternatives that are more sustainable but on the at the same time they insist that life said still safe they continue to produce it and they continue to make money. is monsanto becoming a huge liability for buyers well looks like that and shareholders by shareholders definitely say it is why did they spend $63000000000.00 to buy monsanto they all stay they share prices less by half and the management should have done their due diligence and they knew about the lawsuits they knew that u.s. juries tend to decide for the plaintiffs with big damages so shelters are asking
12:13 pm
why is that the case bought on the other hand the share price has dropped this has lost $20000000000.00 in market market value that is much much exceeds the actual legal risks analysts say that while these court cases are go on appeal that they will be reduced and the real legal risk for buy is one to 6000000000 euros so that is roughly what they can expect so it might not be as bad as we all think but definitely whether or not you believe that by the same cause cancer or not weather is dangerous for humans on not it definitely has been toxic for buy as a brand company certainly taking a big hit there again had offers from d.w. business thank you very much now here in germany authorities are working on new guidelines to be able to access data on digital voice assistance like amazon's alexa privacy campaigners are strongly opposed to the idea but the interior
12:14 pm
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 when it's is that's what matters it's not about law abiding citizens who have to fear they're being monitored delegates. technically speaking getting a hold 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
12:15 pm
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 process 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 allies the german opposition parties warn of bigger dangers. in germany everyone must have the possibility to exert complete privacy over their thoughts and communications one 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. you're watching news still to come we look at

terrible education system and unemployment for people who don't have a good education i want to help educate people to improve the quality of their life that you knew they didn't get so that troubled education system disproportionately affects for velo residents but there are exceptions like the public school or seen a fund seka almost all its students come from poor backgrounds attendances free and yet conditions aren't catastrophic. d.s. is a star pupil and has a passion for electronic engineering the school is able to cater to that enthusiasm with modern equipment thanks to international donors. so which engine ainge took the cheese once said that knowledge liberates the spirit of man and man himself and a bad person is bad because the ignorant. didn't like. the all seen off on 2nd school is an exception to the rule helped by incredibly

motivated teaches set up by yeah yeah so we work with values such as sustainability because these are important for us and our planet but also the human rights that apply to all of us wanted to deplore. brazil's president to show you both the narrow is not considered a friend of human rights and has spoken out against minorities he also questions climate change could put creationism on the curriculum and wants to militarize schools. meanwhile maria souza is struggling with math but the 55 year old won't give up she's improving slowly but surely. on her way home she passes expensive private schools parents pay fees of up to a $1000.00 euros a month to send their children here. we all bob and me are
12:20 pm
black indigenous or poor people less intelligent than wealthy ones no they just don't have the same chances if they had those their life would be different brazil would be a better and more developed country but right now that is not the case magician. education in brazil is still a question of money. all right there was a big clash at the women's world cup yesterday and anthony howard is here to take us into the game between brazil and australia hi anthony so australia really needed to win this one to get their world cup campaign back on track yes they did spoiler alert they did in the end but some context for the sec the months before the tournament against the kind of the tournament off balance and people asking why he left we didn't get an answer on that then they lost the right in going to italy so one of the favorites came here in uncertain terms lost to italy and then i face brazil it couldn't almost be worse a great same with
12:21 pm
a great player in mata all of that meaning that as we approach this gun we're going to take a look as all the media reports this match was dripping with tension in the build up for. brazil welcomes their star player matson back to the side and when the referee awarded a penalty for this show. 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 doubt crosstown cristiana and the in-form strike assented glancing head into the fall for not brazil was flying but then australia's fight began 1st came in 4th the deficit touching home from close range then off the 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 pasta on goalkeeper. a
12:22 pm
spirited fight back from australia and one that keeps their world cup hopes alive i. know it smiles all around there for australia. as well our resident australian what about the other day and other game yesterday chant of us to south africa china might a really great impression on germany quite literally they left a lot of bruises on the on the german women but then left a great in. question in that i played a really tough guy i'm going to take a look at their match against south africa but what they found to do in that game was score a goal we can be as competent as eli he can be as calm as hot as you like but if you don't have that finishing touch like we see here from the heat that was in the 44th minute that's what i like the 1st time round i got at least on you to feel bowling and a perfect finish that was just gorgeous but looked like them out of school the 2nd but it was ruled out crucially they get the one no result zoomie that means a lot for them because they still in the running running to get out of the group phases but in a broader context for germany that means a lot that means they progress out of the group germany going to the next stage the
12:23 pm
knockout phase and i can do what the german men did not in russia and that's get out of the group and who plays today 3 games jamaica italy that's the other side pardon me of the strike the injury or draw if only when they almost good to get through the unfancied when they come so they won their 1st game against australia if they can do it again against jamaica they're in a really great position that's in group c. group d. japan who are the 2011 champions they've got a great young saying they've regenerated by play against scotland and then england against argentina that's usually where we draw out the old headlines that quite the falkland islands to football and then getting a break out of the men's side this on the women's side doesn't have that history england of the favorites and they should win against argentina a lot to look forward to today and howard from the get the sports thank you thank you. basketball now the toronto raptors have become the 1st non us team to win the n.b.a. championship they beat the defending champions the golden state warriors in game 6
12:24 pm
in california that gave the raptors a $42.00 series win they are the 1st canadian team to win a major north american sports title since the toronto blue jays won baseball's world series in 1003 fans back home in toronto celebrated long into the night. to vietnam now in a story about an unlikely hero the 99 year old grandmother standing up against big coal some 300 people in her community have been forced to relocate but pam tai chi is refusing to leave her plot of land even after bulldozers demolished her house. nails that's a classic case of david versus goliath but this 99 year old grandmother is refusing to give up. so i'm not leaving i'm staying right here probably fairly new i believe fischel is trying to evict me but i wouldn't
12:25 pm
leave my grandparents and my parents lived here and i will also stay here. oh oh oh oh you know. family has called fung bay home since birth until one day she was notified that authorities needed the land for a new coal plant she was offered money to move elsewhere but refused. this is what's left of the family house now the 99 year old lives in a shack next to the rubble and it's a story playing out across the as. the country's energy demands are soaring and with it its appetite for coal. experts predict coal will account for half a feared numbs energy production by 2030 and that means building plants and remote areas like van fung by locals say they're being strong armed out of their homes with only a physical relocation plan in place. he wanted us to move
12:26 pm
but he didn't give us land for cultivation people can't move if you don't provide a way for them to make a living. in addition to the human cost activists point to the environmental implications of expanding the coal industry they call for investment in renewable energies but these alone cannot currently meet vietnam's insatiable demand for power. with plans to build some 30 new plants in the next decade it appears cold will continue to transform the country's landscapes even if it means approaching a woman from the place she's called time for almost a century. but my house is here my land is here and i want to be buried here to. family take cecile continue to defend a high and as long as she's got a fight left on her. coming up
