i'm sumi so misconducts good to have you with us. yes president donald trump says an american warship destroyed an iranian drone in the strait of hormuz on thursday truck accused iran of quote provocative and hostile action he said the drone was downed after repeated warnings were ignored. this is the ship that the white house says brought down an iranian drone the u.s.s. boxer an assault ship sent to the persian gulf just over a month ago u.s. president donald trump said a drone had come within a 1000 yards of the u.s.s. boxer and ignored calls to stand down. this is the latest of many provocative and hostile actions by iran against vessels operating in international waters the united states reserves the right to defend our personnel our facilities and

interests and calls upon all nations to condemn iran's attempts to disrupt freedom of navigation. and global commerce. iranian foreign minister mohammad javad zarif who was in new york for u.n. meetings said he could not confirm the possible downing of a drone for a week out of the woodwork and about to get broken through false we don't know if. you got it yet and that's what i said we have no. doubt having broke have you met her with me to have you know senator cohen this is the latest scrape between the 2 countries over who is provoking whom in the strait of hormuz. on june 20th iran shot down a u.s. drone it said had violated its airspace just days ago the iranian military seized a foreign tanker in this strategic strait saying the ship was smuggling oil and they released this footage allegedly showing the incident the united nations has

urged restraint on all sides to avoid an open conflict. let's speak to adnan tab a top by he's a middle east analyst based in germany and he joins us from dissatisfied not good morning good to see you thank you for joining us what do we know about what actually happened here or do we only have a donald trump's account. so far it seems yes we heard the foreign minister tell us are you speaking yesterday denying this and this morning that it would you foreign minister she is also tweeted that there is that iran hasn't lost any drone and it was basically also mocking the u.s. president by saying maybe the u.s. has downed its own drawn so so far that its base basically the u.s. claims and the iranian denial and yet we're seeing another escalation between the u.s. and iran how serious is this. i think the situation is extremely dangerous we see both sides trying to get the other to

a point where. face saving exit is needed the u.s. has that up to its maximum pressure strategy iran its maximum resistance strategy both are trying to raise the cost for the other side and it's it's dangerous to see where this will lead us so you're saying this is a dangerous situation but at the same time we saw the iranian foreign minister in new york propose new talks some possible concessions so where are things had it i think this is part of the pattern that we see on both sides so we see a ping the pressure on different in different forms but at the same time providing some if you want to say avenues for backdoor talks or some sort of an agreement and as i said the face saving aspect of diplomacy might play a role here so that either side presents the other with such an exit the u.s. has said we just don't want to see the you could run into coming a nuclear power this is something that the iranians don't have

a problem with and i think this is also a very has not proposed something that would further make the deal for the robust so let's see where this will go but at the same time we have to be worried because these these measures that are meant to scare off the other side i'm afraid will continue i don't at this point what would it take to get both sides back to the table and to stop this ask alighting attention. at the moment it seems that the iranians want to see the u.s. position which is the one that will exist in during the obama years so no u.s. sanctions that have to do with iran's nuclear program other sanctions hand remain for the u.s. side it seems that there are divisions between the president and his foreign secretary and his national security advisor to the u.s. position might be a bit ambiguous here but for the trump it seems as long as it would be his deal there might actually be a deal so let's see where this will lead us but i think the international community

show should ask both sides to really come to their senses at this point our middle east analyst i thank you so much for your analysis employers are. watching news still ahead the president trying facing controversy at home over his taunting a former congresswoman a collar did things go too far at his latest rally. for that in a moment for some other stories making news around the world in japan tributes are being paid to victims of an arson attack that killed 33 people in animation studio in the city of kyoto was set on fire on thursday after a man burst into the building and doused it with fuel nearly 40 others were injured some of them critically. in afghanistan at least 6 people have been killed after a bomb exploded near kabul university authorities said the bomb had been placed under

a vehicle no group has yet claimed responsibility but the afghan capital is often targeted by both the taliban and the so-called islamic state terrorist militia. japanese media is reporting that tokyo plans to summon south korea's ambassador on friday as the conflict over world war 2 era compensation deepens japan's foreign minister taro kono wants seoul to rectify a court ruling that order to japanese companies to pay koreans for their forced labor under japanese occupation. in the u.s. signs that a president trump thinks he might have gone too far he told reporters that he disagrees with the ugly chanting at a campaign rally in north carolina at that event trump repeated his attack on a group of democratic congresswoman whom he branded un-american that's when the chanting started echoing racist tweets by trump the next day the u.s. leader try to distance himself from his supporters words. he stepped out

confidence and in no mood to back down donald trump was heavily criticized for his racist tweets against 4 democratic congresswomen but he's doubled down on his comments suggesting they should leave the country. the suggestion for the hate filled extremists who are constantly trying to tear our country down they never do the good to say this was a hey if they don't like it a little leaves little league i. love the challenge of leaving. and then this from his supporters. here are the targets of trump's attacks 3 of the 4 women were actually born in the u.s. and around omar is a somali refugee naturalized as a. u.s. citizen the women say trump is shutting down to bates based on the color of their skin. because i criticize the president i should be deported i want to remind

people that this is what this president and his supporters have turned our country that is supposed to be a country if we allow democratic debate this president. millions of americans in danger area last night his rhetoric is in danger of being. lots of people this is not just about. threats to individual members of congress. it's not the 1st time trump has used such divisive language to appeal to his base it helps him win the presidency in 2016 and he wants to win again republicans have defended the remarks. i don't think it's racist to say was it race is to say love it or leave it i don't think a somali refugee embracing would not have been asked to go back if you're a racist you want everybody from somalia to go but. with his comments analysts say

trump is firing up his supporters and allowing anti immigrant sentiments to become mainstream. i don't think for them that will be the moment when we answer whether we're squire to be a whole lot better or whether we want to go but who in effect make america. i. this is an unprecedented time in the united states with the president showing no sign of letting up on his racist rhetoric. one of the most divisive issues in the u.s. at the moment is the trump administration's treatment of migrants with reports of terrible conditions and abuse at detention camps along the southern border that's after migrants have survived the dangerous track their central america and mexico in a sign of just how tense the situation has become u.s.

citizens volunteering with organizations dedicated to helping migrants say they're facing increasing antagonism and in some cases even criminal charges enter next report we need volunteers for the group border angels working to help migrants trekking through the california desert. with every step they take the dangers of the desert become more and more evident heat sun and no access to water may crossing the mountains a risky undertaking. volunteers of the so-called border angels try to make it safer by dropping water in the desert traces tell them they're on the right track this is a heavily traveled area. because the border patrol presence has been stepped up in other areas more people are feeling funneled into this more dangerous riverine region and coming through here and there are discarded

things that go along. along the way the empty water containers show that their efforts are not in vain. this is been a very strenuous hike so far you can easily consume one in the house for 2 leaders off water so it's very obvious how important these water drops are essentially they can save a migrants' life. among the volunteers the descendants of migrants like seek his son chess whose great grandfather migrated to the u.s. from mexico 100 years ago there were no roads there were no interstates there wouldn't nothing so the only possible way that he could have gotten up here him in my great grandmother were. walking. you know. somebody had to help him along the way. here i am. others want to make a statement against the u.s. government's migration policy. and ministration and the current political climate

just to represent a vast majority of americans to welcome in the koreas. finally the group reaches its destination time to deposit some water containers for migrants coming through from the nearby mexican border the bottles will be among the 1st things they find when crossing into america a personal message in spanish when i sweat up the good luck to those who might need it. we have brothers and sisters that are in need that are facing death and 15 hardship that because of a gallon of water might be able to be saved and become productive. at the end of the day the border angels hiked 10 miles through the california desert they say helping migrants is their duty because america has always been a nation off immigrants. european union interior ministers have failed to find an agreement on how to deal with asylum seekers

rescued in the mediterranean sea as the ministers held talks in finland the german captain of a migrant rescue ship at the eye of a political storm appeared in front of an italian court from there she sent a clear message to european leaders. about the arriving at the courthouse on sicily kara wreck a tour was mobbed by reporters the 31 year old german sea captain is being investigated on suspicion of aiding illegal immigration last month she piloted to see watch rescue ship into the italian ports of lampedusa with 41 migrants on board . i sincerely hope that the european commission now after the new election of the parliament will do their very best to prevent situations like that happening and that all the european countries will work together in the future. except any people which the civilian fleet has rescued. it's a nice hard line interior minister matel you salvini wants to stop rescue ships

like sea watch bringing my consist sure as the summit of europe's interior ministers got underway in helsinki there were bold words. the situation is critical we cannot let anyone drone at the mediterranean sea anymore we have to find solutions that are more robust arrangements that are not ad hoc as they are right now to the situation needs our attention all the time and we should act there together but the summit ended in failure france and germany pushed to so-called solidarity mechanism for distributing rescued migrants italy and malta rejected the plan salvini opposed it in the remaining one of the main landing points for migrants. it means that everyone arrives in italy or in malta and i will never sign a document which. says that everyone has to arrive in my country because we cannot

rely on them being relocated for those that may look. and so for now how europe should deal with people sailing from north africa in search of a better life remains unresolved. german chancellor angela merkel is due to hold her annual summer press conference this morning in berlin there is much to cover michael's close conservative allies recently a high profile girls was left on the line if the newly elected european commission president and other could come michael's unofficial number 2 as head of her c.d.u. party is also taking the helm of germany's defense ministry and we should say the chancellor just turned 65 a few days ago and our chief political editor michelle is covering this press conference for us she joins us now we see a packed room behind you the press conference is due to start shortly and it comes off the heels of what's been a very big week for the chancellor securing her legacy hasn't.

absolutely has been quite a 65th birthday celebration for chancellor angela merkel who is now seeing to her of her own move up one political level and also left under lion as the new commission chief becoming potentially the most powerful woman in europe after under the magical said she would limit her term till the end of this term as chancellor 2021 but at the same time we will see quite a few questions asked 1st of all will from the line distances self swifty i'm already partly seeing her do that on issues like rule of law looking towards poland and hungary those states that according to the european commission have rule of law issues that was a lie and gave an interview just over the past 24 hours where she said well everybody kind of does rule of law that way so we will certainly see some questions

asked here and political berlin gets very excited about this press conference as well because sometimes she says things unexpectedly like 2015 in that actually historic year already known for its so-called migration crisis where she out of the sentence we will make this this is become already part of her political legacy so a mixed bag but also high hopes that she might say the old unguarded things today ok myself so we have seen a lot of a political point scoring for america all this week but what do you think that we can expect today from her. but she will probably also face some more tricky questions as she had a series of health worries over those past week 3 times the visibly shaking in public this is something she says is a non-threatening political health issue the jump public sees that largely as a as a private affair but just to compare this to what heads of top companies have to do

they often have put in their contract that they have to publish this i think we'll see a bit of questioning that and also her own government is a lot less stable than it should be then the political brand angela merkel stands for the social democrats are facing potentially another political battering in regional elections coming up so the big question is how much longer she will be german chancellor and how much stability she can still inject in her own coalition government here in berlin all right our chief political editor michelle accuse the reporting for us there we'll check back with you after the press conference is over . now to cape town in south africa where the military has started patrolling the streets and parts of the city it's part of a government plan to quell ask elating gang violence the soldiers have been called in to bring order to a district called cape flats where almost a 1000 people have been murdered our correspondent chris reports from the city. i.

was thinking marching for peace right in the cape town township of man and when locals here in charge. 2 up to carry adams these daily demonstrations have become a disappointing ritual he's lived here for almost 50 years and says the level of violence nowadays has never been so bad father to 5 children adams worries about their future none of us feel safe in this is in this environment how schoolchildren congo's. feeling that olds use a lot of innocent people it says to that's when dying men and look. at the residency have been organizing these protests on a daily basis for so months now but nothing much i mean man and. the residents here have been organizing these protests on a daily basis for so months now but nothing much has happened since then.

adams shows us around his township manenberg has been considered a troubled area for many yes but in recent months violence has escalated with several gangs involved in the brutal battle over drugs and power this is still limited considered to be in the lead today but there's an odious when she was. so it's pretty straight to divide the territories yeah. both gangs reached a truce but it didn't last long just a few days ago shootouts took place and a man was killed. the protesters express their solidarity with the victim's mother by marching to her house. and. we've been marching and we. now we have to march again. to try and get peace again will continue with what we did. to try to make minimum could be to police. the military

is now patrolling the cape flats area of which men and burke is a part they're supporting the police for 3 months to bring the violence on the control residents demanded for more security but adams doesn't believe that will solve the problem there's a lot of unemployment in members and unemployment causes. so we need to look at the programs to get people really didn't this here he is. having the army is not going to solve the problem. now many words as he began giving protests they say they will continue until the streets are free like. 6 football now and tonight is the final in the africa cup of nations senegal has a chance to win their 1st ever football title the lions of tauranga are the slight favorites against algeria but the algerian team has already defeated senegal in the
