the boob tube. the back . this is news coming to you live from london and the u.s. screens one of its more ships has shot down an iranian drilled and the u.s. president trying to save a manned aircraft posed a threat to the american naval vessels a few dozen foreign minister says he has no information about losing a grill what would this mean for relations between washington and tehran. also. question time for the german chancellor angela merkel is grilled by reporters as

are traditional some of the credit cards companies are bringing just topics including greg did. i talk to our chief political editor. and us they make a bullying is to screen the $85000000000.00 compensation affected by the grounding of $77.00 max we're looking at what that means for the company from a business that. good to have you with us. u.s. president says an american warship destroyed an iranian drone of the strait of hormuz. trump accused iran of 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. the iranian foreign minister mohammad javad zarif who is in new york for u.n. meetings said he could not confirm the possible downing of a drone for a week during the war with that kind of what would be good road to false reading or that. is shut down and that's what i said you have no.

doubt you. have you met very well read too much 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. joining me now is by he's a gentleman based middle east analyst welcome to you now what do we know about what actually happened as we had iran fund minister said he had no information about a drone being shot down. yeah and his deputy say that was a nazi has tweeted basically the same line and then saying maybe the u.s.

have just downed their own drawn so there is a claim on the one hand the denial of the other hand and just minutes ago the urgency of the revolutionary guards announced that they will show and publish footage that this drone basically had captured and showed how this drone has basically returned safe to the 2 in space so we have to wait and see that footage and see what actually happened that irrespective of the confirmation obviously in another incident between the u.s. and iran and how serious an escalation is this. is serious it is dangerous i don't think that this particular episode will be a game changer but what we are seeing is a cycle of incidents in which both sides are poking each other are trying to see at what point the other side is willing to. do to come to talk and to seek a face saving exit and that is the pattern both capitals washington and tehran are

basically pursuing right now what 5 say they do not want a military confrontation and get the iranian foreign minister what a proposed new talks tearing his visit to new york if their very potential conflict in the faculty incident that you mention or is this just political brinkmanship. i guess it's a guess it's both or so we hear both sides say united i do believe them that they don't want a war but it's not as if you can control everything that's happening day in day out in such a explosive context so it's very dangerous at the same time yet they're sending out signals that there is some willingness to talk and that's this is what i meant with the stay saving exit you might see i think both sides are also seeing that we're trying to find out what is the point where i can get the other side to talk without losing face without being given too much concessions and i think this is also

something that. the longing for a minister has laid out with an offer to talk about the jay security risks with president. right and honest i've not doubt that that that the bike thank you very much for that analysis. that we're now being up to date with some august or is making news around the wild in japan tributes are being paid to the victims of an off an attack that killed $33.00 people and animation studio in the city of kyoto was satellite on times day after a man burst into the building and dusted with petra in the 40 others were injured some of them critically. in afghanistan at least 8 people have been killed after a bomb exploded at the entrance of kabul university as students were waiting to take an exam in a car it is said the bomb had been placed under of bacon the taliban has denied any involvement in the attack. because. the top court in the netherlands

has a kind of ruling from the dutch state party liable for the deaths of 350 boston reus limbs in the 190570 some back the cup. the men were executed by boston so forces after being spread from a u.n. base dutch troops had been guarding the base. we're watching news coming up ahead u.s. president trump recent controversy at home over a tax on for congressman women this things go too far at his knee to scrappy. but for us german johnson. and from a press conference in berlin today she answered a variety of questions ranging from concerns over the head to the german economy and breaks it the chancellor who turned 65 this week told reporters she was fit enough to see out her term in office america has experienced

a series of shaking episodes in recent weeks which have caused concern and fear of speculation but she said she was feeling good. i can function and secondly as a human being i am also personally very interested in my health. as already mentioned in 2021 my political work will be finished. but i hope life will then go on and i would like to live it in good health. for. political editor of the bill was at that press conference and she joins me now we share the chancellor has stressed several times that she's feeling where she was looking really well this morning how satisfying though we're going to have. while she certainly appears to usual self at the same time the big question is will

see be able to just continue and not have to tell the public what the actual health concern is in detail and this is something where the majority of people according to polls feel that that is a very private matter but we saw this really globally of any indication of anger america whose political brand after almost one half decades in office is german chancellor is after all stability how much greater concern there at the moment seems to be the stability of her government and i got a makeover self is off for a couple of days holiday so we'll see how she emerges after that right and which are just america can get a whole range of issues but there was a strong focus on foreign policy tell us more. here's clearly i mean with those mounting tensions there between the united states and iran in particular there was a question here today why iran should unilaterally stick to the j c p o a well

known as the iran nuclear deal after the united states have withdrawn from that and when there is little compensation in terms of any kind of guarantees sticky from those european partners to compensate for those financial losses of iran under the americans answer there was that it would be a sign of goodwill towards the international community that also shows that very 1st shift and focus on diplomatic efforts stressing they're going to back all stressing that she supports the efforts of a man on my call the french president trying to get the 2 sides at least around the table and to talk once again. that was something that was very much the focus here today at this press conference but she also was challenged on a whole range of other issues most notably she was asked about how she feels with those racist comments from the u.s. president donald trump towards after all his own congresswoman women

representatives of the government in the united states and here's what she had to say i reject trump's comments and stand in solidarity with the congresswoman he attacked. so straight out from under the makeover yeah pretty firm words there and this fall conference is the much anticipated a lot of the fertile tradition the room behind you was packed earlier anything remarkable happen any unguarded interesting comments. well what i thought was interesting is when somebody put a quote from the social democrat coalition partner who had heavily criticized the appointment of an agreed to come heir apparent new defense minister she said she hadn't heard any criticism that the people who mattered within the coalition in the s.p.d. certainly hadn't said that that shows that she's not talking to everybody within her own governing coalition she also says that there are very few strong figures

that are holding up this coalition that she so relies on and that will eventually determine how much longer her political career can last whether she will reach the full term as chancellor till 2021. now chief political editor thank you very much so as we heard there that brief comment america added hellboy to the international condemnation of president attacks on a group of nonwhite democratic congresswoman but in trump may be trying to distance himself from the fallout of his repeated taunts specially those directed at the somali born congresswoman omar and that's after his supporters were heard chanting center back at a rally in north carolina. he stepped out confident and in no mood to back down donald trump was heavily criticized for his racist tweets against

4 democratic congress women but he's doubled down on his comments suggesting they should leave the country. did i suggest you join the hate filled extremists who are constantly trying to tear our country down they never ever do think it isn't that's why i say if they don't like it a little leaves little i. love it challenge to leave it. 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 iran omar is a somali refugee naturalized as a u.s. citizen the women say trump is shutting down to bait based on the color of their skin. because i could decide as 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 that has been in place millions of americans in danger last night his rhetoric is in danger and. 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 3 mouths . i don't think it's racist to say was it race is a 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 back. with his comments analysts say trump is firing up his supporters and allowing anti immigrant sentiments to become mainstream. i don't think we'll find out before then that that will be the moment

when we answer whether we aspire to be a whole lot better or whether we want to go back to in effect make america why again. this season i'm presidentially time in the united states with the president showing no sign of letting up on his racist rhetoric. and one of the most divisive issues in the u.s. at the moment is the trump administration's treatment of migrants would reports of terribly conditions in abuse a detention council on listen border and that's off to many migrants of survived the dangerous trek through central america and mexico some americans have now volunteered to take action to have them a correspondent on of a silent united group of silk border agents who are making life saving water drops in 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 make 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 and a half or 2 leaders off water so it's very obvious how important these water drops

are essentially they can save the 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 as a represent a vast majority of americans to welcome in the prius. 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 it the good luck to those who might need it. we have brothers and sisters that are in need that are facing death and facing 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. they say helping migrants is their duty because america has. immigrants. u.s. lyrica boeing is to spend almost $5000000000.00 compensating airlines that have been affected by the grounding of 737 x. the announcement comes a week before the company is you to reveal its quarterly results and the still no firm timetable to bring the planes back into service. it's the company's best selling plane and

a model that's become synonymous with tragedy regulators granted the 737 marks in march after the deaths of 346 people in 2 crashes blamed on faulty software the move led to the cancellation of thousands of flights for which boeing is now counting the cost the company set aside $4900000000.00 to compensate airlines and their customers and has warned investors to expect profits to plunge as a result the announcement comes just days after the u.s. house of representatives held a hearing on aviation safety among those who testified was poor and who lost his wife and 3 children in the ethiopian airlines crash in march or in should not be allowed to act like an investment company extracting world to supercharge shareholder returns at the expense of safety and quality the leadership should

change in favor of. us earlier this month the plane maker announced it would be creating a $100000000.00 fund to support the families and communities of the crash victims the figure is around the same as the list price of a single 737 marks boeing says it expects the model to be back in the air by the end of the year but the shadows of the ill fated 737 marks will be cast far longer than the. dozens of lawsuits are still pending and boeing's reputation for safety may have been tarnished forever. now for more on this story for my great pleasure to welcome my colleague monica jones from the business desk i'm veronica so this whole issue with boeing is not only damage to its reputation but also it's hurting its bottom lines. these are not good times for boeing no doubt about that and it sounds very dramatic and as we just heard the report i mean the 737 max was or still is boeing's best selling aircraft and it's been grounded since march so

that's certainly not good for business it cost the company already billions of dollars and now they also have to make sure that they remain in their customer's good books which is why they've now made available those roughly $5000000000.00 worth of compensation that they will pay out to their customers so that they sort of hold onto it but we also must remember when it comes to the bottom line boeing does not just consist of the 77 max they also have other aircraft models for example the dreamliner and korean air has just decided to upgrade its fleet by buying 30. dreamliner was that deal is worth about $10000000000.00 so money is still coming in i still expect that they'll be a drop in quarterly profits next week but how big that drop is i'm afraid will have to wait until next week yet we have to wait and see when the quarterly results come out next week as you said but how is blowing plan to pull out of this crisis

because one must feed it is a crisis for the cops and literally it's tricky and aviation stepping on a plane is all about trust and i for one i have to admit i mean i'm not an expert but if i had to step onto a boeing 737 even when it's allowed to be a born again i would have very very mixed feelings about it so boeing is very very determined when it comes to damage control you know get it getting trust back getting its credibility back and also by sort of showing that it cares that it takes its responsibility seriously for example by setting up this $100000000.00 fund in order to compensate the victims of the families and the communities of. victims of indonesia in particular in ethiopia having said that of course $100000000.00 compared to the $5000000000.00 for the customers plus $100000000.00 is the price list for 1737 max so i think boeing can cope with with the cost of that fund and then oh don't let go of the 737 max all together they're

determined to fix that software problem and they're still building they're still building 737 every week 42 of them because they want to be ready that once the authorities give the ok that they can actually deliver because they need it the aviation industry needs craft passenger numbers are climbing rapidly and companies like ryan air a very loyal customer offer boeing already announced this week that they are forced to cut down on some of the destinations that they offer simply because they don't have the airplane so they'll be ready to take the 737 once it's airborne again but you have to wait and see how that pans monica jones as always a pleasure to talk to you which is now from this forum tonight is the final of the africa cup of nations finagle has a chance of to win their 1st ever football title the lions of tauranga flight favorites against algeria but the algerian team has already defeated senegal in the

group stages and will bring an army of fans travelling to cairo. algeria fans have filled chartered planes to see their side in action in egypt and they are convinced there will claim a 2nd title after the triumph of $990.00 some even believe it's fate. i can do to support our geo of course we've been waiting 29 years for this i'm 28 years old it's the perfect time so i'm going to represent everyone. it was a late winner from superstar that fired algeria into the final after the final whistle on sunday morez was full of the supporters optimism. we had. to play the final. 2 to win it but they're confident to be jubilant senegalese supporters back home who
