a 3rd of the world's crude oil passes through the u.s. blame to run for the strikes something to iran denies. and with washington due to officially announce fresh sanctions against iran on monday it's unlikely the standoff will be over any time soon i think stay tuned. massive demonstrations are underway in prague with protesters calling for a battleship prime minister under bobbish to step down according to organizers more than 250000 people are there reportedly the biggest crowd since the country's 900 $89.00 revolution which overthrew communism bobbish is a wealthy businessman who leads the populist and all party is under investigation for corruption and conflicts of interest. to w. correspondent is in prague for us emmanuel we can see huge crowds gathering behind you what's going on where you are. but i think the images and sounds really do

speak for themselves we are witnessing here a historic day for the czech republic the 1000000 members for democracy civic movement which started this wave of protests around the country was hoping for just this amount of people here on let's not park today in prague let's not back a highly symbolic play place of photogenic people this is where all the protests are doing in 1989 and this is where today people are gathering and coming from all causes of live beats students pensions active people they gather in here to demand the resignation of foreign minister and very bad news what exactly do they accuse bobbish of. collusion of interest and also corruption comes not only far from an e.u. commission leaks reported few weeks ago but also from the czech criminal police which conducted an investigation into alleged corruption and alleged subsidies that's bad babesia would have from the european union more than

a decade ago and for which he's he has to answer for if not up to justice but instead of answering to. accusations by you simply said that he would stay i remain prime minister and he fired a former justice minister and nominated someone he really trusted and that really triggered the anger all to check people you see you. united here how big of a problem is corruption in the czech republic in general. where this is exactly what the people here want to get rid of it is still very present in the check in a society but to check people who don't want any longer that correction he's part of their politics and i told to people around today they told me they wanted to come here just as their parents had done and 30 years ago because they want a more democratic country something that i'm very bobbies had promised before his election but hasn't delivered in money many thanks. so sports now germany has

reached the quarter finals of the women's world cup. book side pulled off their 4th when of the tournament confidently taking down nigeria 3 nil but not all the attention was on the players as once again the video is this the referee or we are played a huge role in deciding the outcome. alexander pope was making 100th appearance in germany and she moans the occasion by scoring the opener noting from a corner to claim her 2nd goal of the tournament. for the next 8 minutes the boat was barely kicked off 1st confirms that the knowledge earring keeper houghton had her vision impeded by an offside player and was then promptly consulted once more to examine this foul only number 2. play finally resumed from the penalty spot which saw a deep it's just looking to make it to. nigeria found in the 1st

or the 2nd time off and it fell to lay out shooter to finally confirm germany's place in the pool for those with any strike in the 82nd minute. it's 4 wins out of 4 for germany still yet to concede and only appear to be getting stronger. and the 2nd mass of the world cup knockout face australia eliminated after a penalty shoot out against norway the scandinavians went in front when is about how close and snatch the ball past keeper lydia williams australia drew level in the 2nd half when they leave the callant 9th scored directly from the corner a stray a star striker sam kermit's turn penalty in the shoot out before norway's in red and in this batch the winning spot kick to send her side into the quarterfinals. we've probably all seen and heard parrots and song words mimic human speech but

researchers in scotland have found that gray seals too can copy human sounds and tell us more about those unexpected finding i've got to tell your reporter paula folios with me tell me what exactly have these researchers discovered well they found that the gray cells which are found in northern europe on the north east coast of the united states in canada. have an ability to copy speech and songs now what this means is that they sense you have a similar production mechanism so the ability sort of to produce aims in their voice box similar to humans and it's potentially a new model to study speech disorders so it's a pretty breakthrough it's a big breakthrough for scientists but what i want to do before we talk about it more is actually take a look at these heels and listen to them and i want to know what song are they singing nicole so let's listen to it 1st ok.

i have. to ask. well there you go going to say one thing because they sing better than me and what song was a twinkle twinkle little star indeed it was the thing about it is that currently it's actually not been possible to develop a sort of a workable model for tackling speech disorders so this like i said before is a huge breakthrough because interesting lee and people would have associated perhaps primates with sort of using an animal will say as a similar sort of mechanism to humans but it's not the case it looks like seals are and presumably these researchers are getting around an ethical issue until through these new findings are exactly under thing is that using seals and baby seals like

pope's and basically getting over this issue that you can't use newborn babies in research why because of course they're going to be with 3rd their parents and pulps in fact what happens is after a couple of weeks naturally they actually separate it from their mother so this is a great way of basically doing all this research and they saying we just found out about this thank you very much. that's it for now the news is back at the top of the hour thanks for joining me. in the. first clue. and then gore's grand moment arrives join the arena taking on her journey to. interactive john. doerr on entering it and returns home. i don't think that's

it well i guess sometimes i am but i said nothing which at that point.
