the but. this is it every news line for berlin show down in the gulf britain says a royal navy frigate has driven off iranian boats trying to intercept a british oil tanker but iran denies there was any confrontation also coming up on the show a powerful storm devastates greece's northern coastal areas leaving 7 people dead

and dozens injured plus survivors of the candor transport visit germany a country they once called home they were sent to the u.k. in the run up to the 2nd world war 3 jewish parents later murdered by the nazis. and after a fairytale run at the africa cup of nations can madagascar keep their dreams of 5 fans at home prepare for a nail biter and head of tonight's quarter final. on my heart thank you so much sir for joining us everyone britain says 3 iranian boats attempted to intercept a british oil tanker near the persian gulf but were driven off by a royal navy frigate well iran has denied that its vessels tried to stop the tanker

in the strait of hormuz saying it's boats were carrying out routine duties. the strait of hormuz one of the world's busiest shipping routes a 3rd of the world seaborne oil must pass through it. iran's navy is an active presence. at its narrowest point the strait is only 40 kilometers wide the british iranian confrontation took place off the coast of the united arab emirates britain says this frigate turned away iranian speedboats that threatened its oil tanker the british foreign secretary has responded by calling for calm obviously very concerning developments but also very proud of the role navy and the role they played in keeping british assets british shipping safe we'll continue to monitor the situation very very carefully the fear is that this latest incident will escalate it comes days after british authorities seized an iranian tanker in gibraltar claiming it was violating sanctions by delivering oil to syria earlier

this week iran also started enriching uranium beyond the limits set down in the 2015 nuclear deal it signed with international powers today iran's foreign minister claimed that iran was helping to bring down its longtime rival the u.s. . and south america's role in world politics has ended america feels that it has been defeated in the middle east of course one of the reasons for america's defeat is the people's resistance and the islamic republic's resistance. as tensions in the gulf simmer diplomats are scrambling to keep the nuclear deal from unraveling completely let's get you more now on this story with simon mabon he's a lecturer of international relations at britain's university in lancaster sir this is the latest in a succession of incidents now we're seeing a lot of tit for tat just how big of a deal is this. i think it can be read in

a number of different ways it can be seen as just a small step a step from rhetoric to action or it can be seen as a quite significant change in pace moving away from words to actually putting these words into action and i think a lot of this depends on what iran does next whether it leaves this is a worn off incident or whether it decides that it wants to do more and really take a stand against the u.k. against the u.s. and other international activists so for now i think it's just a small step is just moving from woods to one act but if it comes into more action if it does more of this then i think it's quite a seismic change in pace now in the latest development just before we came on air the police and her brother says that they have arrest that the captain and the chief officer of the detained iranian a supertanker at the same time a british security source says we're not going to accompany every frigate that is

in the strait of hormuz what i'm wondering is are all parties just testing the waters but they don't want to go into confrontation and just checking how far they can go. you know i think it's a case of trying to figure out what the new rules of this new game were no traditionally that the shipping would go on and iran wouldn't necessarily go and do anything like this it would threaten it but it wouldn't actually do it but right now given that iran has done this is a case of figuring out what's what it might do next and what states like the u.k. and the u.s. could potentially do to prevent it from happening so there's a great deal of uncertainty everyone's trying to figure out what the other side wants what the other side's endgame is and that it's a delicate and quite a precarious situation to be in because it raises the specter of something bad happening of something negative happening that people misinterpreting things now

let's talk more about that because of course the u.s. maximum pressure approach has iran in a stranglehold and despite efforts by european nations the iran nuclear deal is by all accounts on life support if if that at all taking into consideration soaring tensions between the west and iran is a military confrontation in your assessment inevitable or can a deal still be struck. i don't think it's inevitable i think that the scope for the bailout i think best scope for all sides to to deescalate things to find a way out but it takes willingness it takes creativity and it takes patience i don't think any of the parties involved want a direct military confrontation certainly not the iranians and i would argue certainly not the americans we know donald trump has said repeatedly he doesn't want to get drawn into another conflict in the middle east in spite of that he sent more more u.s. troops u.k. certainly doesn't want to get more and throw old in this so i think given that given that none of these actors will really benefit from a conflict it's just

a case of figuring out ways of getting out of this situation with all sites saving space and all sites feeling secure in the best possible light and that will take creativity it will take creates of diplomacy as a way of escaping this this incredibly worrying situation simon maven from the university of lancaster in the u.k. thank you so very much thank you next to greece are where at least 7 people are dead after a powerful storm battered the north of the country scores of people were also injured after the violent storm and how could he can topple trees and power lines while among the dead were several tourists the storm followed very hot weather in greece with temperatures soaring there to 37 degrees celsius over the past 2 days and freak weather incidents are also hit italy where 18 people were injured when a storm pelted a town with massive hail stones the storm came during the peak tourist season.

the east coast of italy during an aerial bombardment of ice. came down here and bowls the size of oranges. further inland streets were awash. people took refuge and always invited 10 to 15 minutes until the deluge of passed all along the edge attic coast people were surprised by the sudden onset of the stall. an enormous cloud arrived there was an incredible downpour with wind rain a really big storm. the wave of bad weather also broke windows in windshields in the resort town of milan about it sima about 200 century old pine trees were knocked down by a tornado one woman was taken to hospital in a serious condition. the storm came at

a bad time for tourists currently on the coast and it was devastating for many tourist operators there. was it was to eat them in all the things i patiently built up over the years have been ruined in just 2 minutes really had to belittle. the heavy rain came after weeks of sweltering heat in italy and one day after authorities issued a yellow alert for rain and high winds in the north of the country. let's get you up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. and we say nearly were in eastern sicily massive wildfires have sent beachgoer scrambling into the water there have been no immediate reports of casualties several blazes have broken out around sicily in recent days spurred in part by high temperatures and hot winds from northern africa. and bosnia and herzegovina thousands have marked the anniversary of discipline it's a massacre the worst mass killing in europe since world war 2 in july of 1995

set to sign an agreement on power sharing a transitional government. but he was here with more on this developing story get us up to speed on what's happening in sudan well as you as our viewers may know throughout the sudanese uprising protestors have relied very heavily on the internet and particularly on social media to mobilize so you know it was a 4 month protest movement until they succeeded in their 1st goal their move on membership and throughout that time they used social media to organize protests to give each other tips about how to resist things like tear gas etc but also to resist at some point social media was used closed women's groups were used to identify people that worked for the secret service for for example and it was used like this up until the removal of the share around april 11th and then the protesters went ahead and staged a huge sit in in front of the army headquarters in 42 i was there back in may and

this was really the heart and soul of the revolution they refused to leave until a civilian government had been formed and then on june 3rd of this year the government very brutally cracked down on the city and dispersing it killing about 100 people reports say there are also reports that women and men were raped during this dispersal actually quite horrible horrible accounts and some protesters told me that they look at this as a massacre. after that the government shut down the internets we were able to get very very few footage out of sudan from what actually had. in that day up until 2 days ago when the government was more or less forced to restore the internet and since then the social media has been flooded with very disturbing harrowing footage from what happened that day there's a hash tag that in arabic would roughly translate to a document to the army headquarters massacre it's been trending and we've had we've

seen so many videos many protesters have told me this is made them relive the trauma they haven't seen it like this before and one of the videos we have one video that has spread throughout the past couple of days as you can see here a woman is being manhandled by a group of soldiers and forced to say military rule military rule as opposed to the clarion call of the civilian rule so. one month later it's because this footage just coming out and it's fresh as ever but then that begs the question i mean they no i mean i presume the authorities know that this all the all this footage and the protests will continue on social media so why have they decided to restore internet access you're absolutely right i mean during this blackout the military spokesperson actually came out and said social media is a national security threat but you know this week a court ordered the services to be restored after one lawyer named bob that i was

in that has launched a lawsuit challenging this block that had been around for almost a month 1st the restoration was limited to landlines but then he demanded that it be extended to mobile services as well he argued that it's it's a violation of constitutional rights and also that it violates the contract between the companies the providers and the subscribers let's see what what he had to say. well it was the whole the morals of the fortunately there was a court order i would have been very sad if the internet was returned by an executive order and not a judicial one because we need support from the judicial system so we can elevate it and so people gravitate towards the court system for their rights even if this case is isolated it will always remain in people's memories that it is possible to go to courts to get our rights back. with the what next for saddam i mean in the short term all of these videos as you said the countries on the cusp of

signing a power sharing agreement and with this brutality this already quite unpopular power sharing agreement might become just a bit more unpopular. even to him thank you very much. and next to a remarkable story of survival their parents sent them away during germany's nazi period in the hope of saving their lives in our group of kindertransport survivors and their relatives i made a remembrance trip to berlin 4 of them were among the 10000 jewish children who were sent to the u.k. in the run up to world war 2 most of them never saw their parents again and often they were the only members of their families to survive the holocaust and kate brady met with the 94 year old kurt marx who was visiting berlin from the u.k. here's a story. well whom should i hate the people who who did it another live anymore they're all older than i am and. so much longer. i go

to school. and smoke was coming out of the school. and it was a commotion the teacher was outside the school and he said you go home today is no school 13 year old boy who doesn't have to go to school has a day off i didn't mind. i got home as quickly as took me 25 minutes i suppose of a bicycle to get home and they hadn't told me this the night before a friend had phoned is a stone stay at home tonight there's going to be trouble tonight they knew what was going to happen it was all planned it wasn't spontaneous it was pretty all arranged and fortunately my father had not been a time so he wasn't i didn't pick him up or call him so that was. the beginning of the realisation that it's impossible but it's clear by the scheme then made

a decision he wants to move to school to england that was they had they had most of the director of school so he started this and i'm still a bit i think about it that in 2 months he organized the 1st group to go to england and he managed it in age weeks it's quite incredible i mean we've all together there were 20 boys we all do it so that we weren't in the same cause of school so it wasn't. there was no fear attached to it. for some it was traumatic some of the it wasn't for younger ones because of being way from home was difficult they were going to be parents. that was the beginning of our trip to england and i was expecting soon or later to go to america with my parents. and then. time went on i was in the last communication had from them was in

1942 my father wrote on the 19th. term if they were leaving. and on the all we knew they were going to the east no detail. we know now was that they went to extermination camp. but this i didn't find out perhaps 3 years ago. and you live with it nothing you can do about it. but at the same time you see what's happening what's happening here what's happening in the whole of europe with all these various countries where the right wing is coming up again i remember that i do remember when my parents in those with the adults used to talk about hitler was just mad can't last for 5 minutes you know but it lasted and he created. you know what's what

happened with the end result was and it did happen and i'm afraid it could happen i don't i hope not. and that was circa marx there speaking incidentally to keep brady who's here with me thank you so much for bringing us that firsthand account kate you said down with several cannot transport survivors who were part of that rescue effort how did they strike you. of course is always a very moving experience and i think kurt story in particular was very interesting it's really quite moving to hear how matter of fact he can be about this episode of his life now he is on but still that is something that he has carried with him throughout his entire life and as we heard there in his interview he didn't feel so much traumatized by having to leave his parents which of course for many of the 10000 children who was sent to the u.k.

from from germany between 138139 it was a very traumatic experience it was only when he began to realize that he would never see his parents again that the real the reality of the situation really hit home with him and it wasn't for another 3 decades that he was really able to get closure and find out or indeed it happened to his parents. because this of course the biggest tragedy is these families were just torn apart are we going to talk about that in a 2nd a little bit more in detail but 1st tell us about the message that these survivors are trying to impart this in the i sat down with 3 different people yesterday all of whom were children on those various trains from germany to the u.k. and there was certainly a sense of forewarning from all of them to take account of what is going on not only in europe but around the world right now especially when it comes to multilateralism and that was definitely that key message in that there should be

continued cooperation between countries particularly when it came to the current state of the european union as well they were calling for more stability in the european union and a couple of them they said separately to me how important they saw the european union as a way of keeping peace in europe and that's something that they feared crumbling of course all of the survivors that i spoke to currently live in the u.k. where they're experiencing firsthand as well. the ongoings of bricks it stand by because of entertaining our conversation because we have another 1st hand account of this one is from ralph from orica another kindertransport survivor and he shares what it meant to lose his parents to class i remember it like yesterday. i remember entering that train in the 1st thing i said to my sister where are our parents and she said they can't come but they promised in 3 months they will go to england

and pick us up and sail to america that never happened so i felt betrayed i got a card from the international red cross in 1942 saying that your parents were victims of the holocaust we have very sorry that we have to tell you that they were murdered. that of course is the tragedy yes they survived yes they didn't witness what happened in nazi germany but they lost their parents they lost everything yet many of them didn't even just lose their parents it was entire families even siblings were sometimes left behind or sent to different countries some of the children that was sent on the kindertransport to the u.k. for example some of the siblings made it's a palestine and some of them never were reunited even with relatives who did survive and so for a long time there was a long sense of uncertainty and it's really comes down to each individual survivor

of rage you see how each of them has come to terms with this tragedy that they have had to experience all that they had to experience at such a young age and one gentleman that i was speaking to highlight is a as well how is such an individual matter some people are happy to speak about their experience and see that as a sense of closure and a chance to come to terms with those events themselves while others prefer to keep those things private and some people have never spoken about those events even 80 years on but we're so grateful that you got of those firsthand accounts so i think they really help for tree what it really meant to keep brady thank you so very much for that. next to madagascar which is in the grip of football fever after the national team defeated 3 time champion nigeria to top their group in the africa cup of nations well they now face tunisia in the quarter final stage it is a huge deal for this island nation. celebrating
