streets of london demanding it be cancelled we'll go live to our correspondent at the march for you. i'm michael oku thanks for joining us germany and france are calling on iran to release immediately a british royal tanker it seized on friday for lane is calling the capture of the imperio quote a dangerous further aggravation of an already tense situation iran says its troops boarded the ship after it collided with a fishing boat it's the latest in a series of incidents threatening shipping in the strait of hormuz the export route for the bulk of the oil from the gulf region. the stana imperio seen here before its capture by iranian naval forces is now a pawn in a game of high stakes. the seizure comes after no raney an old tanker is being held

in custody for a further 30 days in gibraltar on suspicion of heading for syria in breach of sanctions. british foreign secretary jeremy hunt said the tit for tat would not spiral out of control. we're not looking at military options we're looking at a diplomatic way to resolve the situation. but we are very clear that it must be resolved freedom of navigation in the gulf is absolutely essential if that freedom of navigation is restricted iran is the biggest loser but navigating the waterway crucial for global oil supply has become a risky business just days ago iran sees the united arab emirates oil tanker in the strait of hormuz iran is also blamed by the u.s. for attacks on 6 tankers in and around the strait tehran has resorted to disrupting

shipping through the choke point in response to crippling u.s. sanctions. u.s. president donald trump wants to pressure tehran into more concessions over its nuclear program he says his strategy is working iran there showing their colors going to work out very nicely iran is in big trouble right now their economy is crashing it's coming to a crash it trying to bring soldiers back home because they can't pay a lot of bad things happening to them and it's very easy to straighten out or it's very easy for us to make it a lot worse but with one 5th of the world's oil exports routed through the strait of hormuz the standoff could also spell trouble for the global economy. for some analysis let's bring in simon maven a middle east analyst based in the u.k. simon iran's actions will no doubt be seen as provoking the u.s. and its allies is your real danger that the u.s.

or others will retaliate thereby prompting out a major escalation of some kind i think that's certainly a concern that amidst all of these growing tensions some point that will be a retaliation and that retaliation will kick this crisis on to the next level but what we've seen so far is from from the united states the u.k. calls for a responsible. way of addressing this crisis and i guess that's the big concern that the stakes are so high right now that the seizure of my all time crew 5 people in washington and london going to take some kind of military action and that would be the real catalyst for things to get incredibly worse and go. well you know as well as i do this isn't the 1st time that iran has seized an oil tanker in the strait of hormuz what kind of impact with these repeated seizures have on global oil supplies. well i think there's

a political dimension to it and this is just mentioned the political dimension concerns this growing pressure that is rising in the gulf that iran and iran is facing a range of different economic and political pressures from united states on all of us and as your package demonstrated that's having a real sizeable impact on the iranian economy and the state affecting millions of people and that means that iran is having to respond in different ways internationally to try and reassert itself on the world stage and remind people that it still has a role to play in this game now that will have serious knock on implications for the global economy for global oil supplies we know that the world's oil goes through the straits of hormuz on a daily basis so this is going to cause a great deal of concern a potentially great deal of disruption of target is going to be targeted and that could quite easily push up oil prices which will have a potentially incredibly serious response and impact on the world economy. thank

you so much for that simon maven thank you. saudi arabia's king solomon has agreed to host u.s. forces the pentagon has confirmed the move saying it would deploy troops in saudi arabia as a deterrent against unspecified threats according to media reports $500.00 american troops will be stationed at the military airbase south of the capital riyadh the saudi defense ministry says the aim is to improve security and stability in the region. 75 years to the days since the most famous plot to kill adolf hitler germany has been paying tribute to the conspirators who were executed a ceremony has been held in berlin where chancellor angela merkel praised a small group led by klaus von stauffenberg who attempted to kill hitler with a bomb she also recalled others who had resisted the nazi regime including students academics clergy and jews called on people to honor their memory by showing moral

courage in the face of racism and hatred the remembrance took the poles took place i'm sorry at the defense ministry where the conspirators were executed in 1904 the men had taken part in operation valka a daring attempt that came close to killing hitler and changing history it was the morning of the 20th of july 944. and to the wolf flathead cold hands there he met with generals for a strategy briefing colonel klaus shank conferenced often bag was present and in his bag he was carrying an explosive device at 12 42 pm the bomb exploded killing several people that hit the photographer of the attack was only slightly injured the coup had failed. the failed puts against hitler has gone down in history and germany the 28th of july is an important anniversary for german chancellor angela

merkel the conspirators remain important role models for the present day off of the boat today we also have the responsibility to confront attempts to destroy democracy including right wing extremism frenched often executed that very night in the wake of the failed coup the nazis killed some $200.00 coal conspiracists but their memory lives on today. i'm now joined by deed correspondent peter graven who has been following the ceremony for us peter how did the dignitaries today honor those who try to sesame it all filler i think the the common factor was that they all emphasized how important it is in politics in history on the streets of berlin if you so well to be true to your own conscience it was very clear today that the very few of the individuals who were involved in this substantial plot played by transform stuff from burke to assassinate hitler were perfect individuals were perfect democrats many of them it

succumbed to hit many of the mid forties wars and many of them it had welcomed his triumphs and many of the mid thirty's they waited far too long before they staged the attempt in 144 headless life but they were all true to their conscious when it finally came to it they paid the highest price in her speech today chancellor merkel repeatedly touched on the need to try to keep the memories of those anti hitler conspirators alive and the obligation that people have to them today let's let's have a listen. let us live up to this obligation the value of a single largest you know just coming right out before the resistance fighters and to commemorate them all the same by ourselves i mean strongly and i think you know it often peaceful way of living together let us honor them by showing maracana english you could be at the at and by defending the values that are common to us all instead of going to start looking away and being silent. peter would you make

of those words i hone in on the words for moral courage because i think what he's talking about there specifically is having the courage to defend people who come under racist pressure occur or come under. similar pressure on the streets here of berlin for example in german life and she's specifically talking about someone called valid to look correct. who were you we as we know was a couple of several weeks ago was effectively assassinated in his garden by a far right gunman and basically what i'm saying here is that we should all each and every one of us have the civil courage to defend our politicians and our representatives who we have chosen to do politics for us you know and then she went on to get even more specific making a connection today's european union again let's have another lesson. we europeans. got over that even today we need to defend the future of the european union

incidently against nationalist and populist we need to do so more than ever this actually applies to be on the money to our multi not try not even internationally globally not nationally. perhaps a message to people far beyond the gathering today it's that marco mantra isn't it you need a multilateral i'm not unilateral that's what she's saying here and she's returning to a very familiar message i mean i interpret that to sort of a bit of not really belonging to today's events in my sense is that she's got her mojo back she had a couple of she was in a phase where she seemed like a lame duck she had a couple of setbacks you have health worries but she's had one or 2 good weeks recently and that for me was the statement i'm ready to battle again for a values based it's your signature yeah exactly that you crave and thanks so much to. tens of thousands are marching through london in one of the biggest pro europe rallies the country has seen the march for change is

calling for britain to scrap direction and remain a member of the european union the rally comes days before a new prime minister is due to be sworn in on wednesday the front runner forced johnson has said britain will leave the e.u. as planned on october 31st with or without a deal. w. correspondent charlotte potts is standing by for us in london charlotte we're witnessing another big rally in the u.k. why now. well that's right michael the timing of this mob really quite interesting because that you mentioned in 3 days a new conservative leader will be announced when they will move into downing street number 10 to replace teresa mayes prime minister and nobody has any doubt that new prime minister will be forced on them and then boris johnson is a politician who is not only function a but who has also promised to take the u.k. out of the european union come what may when this next deadline the new day the day that mine approaches on the toll but. even if that means leaving without

a deal and we know that economists have time and time again that it will bring the profit consequences for the country and for the people and for the economy among many many coaches worried about the prime minister john key and about what a no deal scenario could look like. so what specifically do the demonstrators want what do they think will come out of these marchers well the main message today is no too far is yes to the european union the protests that some auditing again for as daunting as the next prime minister and for the european union and i've seen hundreds of european flags here and a giant balloon flying over the crowds thing bars john as a baby just as the one you might remember when donald trump came to town last month during protests sometimes just as protesters have told me that at a time when the world's global issues that the climate change that they believe

that without the european union because they think you can only be together basically and others told me today that they are angry that brecht that is dominating the agenda at the national issues that the cooling and have not been taking care of the past year so overall and so what most protesters they have one goal in mind the method we that they want to revoke obstacle 50 which would basically forgetting about bringing that all together and saying and the european union. that to beat the overall goal by everybody a day and what's really interesting is that the indian they think america the overall do it in the british the fide. hold that the british public has polarized the breck that on the one hand what people want to be be. without it and on the other hand people want the u.k. to revoke it see what it meant no break it all go over all it think that the british public can move on from the break the drama the. trawler parts in london
