tributes to the conspirators who try to assassinate all fiddler and overthrow the nazi government 75 years ago today. and tens of thousands take to the streets of london demanding grex it be cancelled. thanks for joining us iran is defying growing international pressure to release a british oil tanker it detained in the strait of hormuz the vital waterway carrying a 3rd of the world's seaborne oil supply iran's revolutionary guards have released footage of its troops boarding a tanker they say they seized the vessel after it collided with a fishing boat the british government has called it a dangerous move germany's says it's an aggravation of an already tense situation.

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 never 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 the 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 a major escalation of some kind i think that's certainly a concern that amidst all of these growing tensions that 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 and u.k. calls for a responsible. way of addressing this crisis and i guess that's the big concern and it's 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 thus your package demonstrated to us having a real sizeable impact on the iranian economy. 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 but it still has a role to play in this game now that will have serious not 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 up potentially a great deal of disruption of talk because we're going to be targets that could

quite easily push of oil prices which will have a potentially incredibly serious response an impact on the world economy. thank you so much for that simon mabon 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 a military airbase south of the capital riyadh saudi defense ministry says the aim is to improve security and stability in the region germany has been marking the 75th anniversary of the famous briefcase plot to kill adolf hitler the army colonel who planted the bomb was executed along with his fellow conspirators in a moment we'll report on the commemorations 1st this reminder of what happened 3 quarters of a century ago. it was the morning of the 20th of july 944 ad of hitler entered

me that hitler would lead germany into an abyss and that he was a criminal of a walk but murder is murder that and you can only come to such a decision and the police often thought it would withstand scrutiny in the eyes of god or for the failed puts against hitler has gone down in history and germany the 20th of july is an important anniversary french dolphin was executed that very night in the wake of the failed coup the nazis killed some 200 coconspirators but their memory lives on today. german chancellor angela merkel led the commemorations here in berlin for the conspirators the nazis rounded up and executed after operation valerie the plot to kill hitler the ceremony was held at the defense ministry where the best known conspirator klaus von stauffenberg was shot. it was a sudden day germany commemorated the 75th anniversary of the plot to give. it
