rebels from every province which is one of their strongholds in the country. in a town turned to rubble a life is spare. take it off and pick up my hand this footage from the syria civil defense also known as the white helmets purports to show the moment rescuers pulled a young girl alive from the debris. but dozens of others could not be saved. we were woken by the sound of the russian occupiers warplanes they fired 2 missiles 1st then they came back and conducted a 2nd raid firing 2 missiles at civilians in the market there are a lot of civilian casualties many wounded. to britain days to syrian observatory for human rights blames russia for monday's strikes but russia denies this it was

the 2nd day of deadly airstrikes and it lived province. on sunday locals held a hero's funeral for honest i'll die as a journalist and member of the white helmets rescue team he was killed in airstrikes in the town of qana shakun according to monitors. in the province remains the last jihad a stronghold in syria a syrian government offensive backed by russian airpower has killed more than 2000 people since it began in april oh it live will likely be the scene of further death and destruction as russian warplanes help syria's government rest this populated area from rebel and jihadist control. and tensions are simmering between the u.k. and iran british foreign minister jeremy hunt says that his country is not looking for a confrontation but had strong words for tehran over its seizure of a british flag tanker in the strait of hormuz on friday the senate piro with the

senate imperial was seized by a ronnie of revolutionary guards in the key shipping route of the strait of hormuz after tehran said that it was violating international maritime rules it comes amid a rise in tension between britain and iran in recent weeks come to dress the british house of commons after a meeting of the prime minister's cobra emergency committee let's have a listen under international law iran has no rights to obstruct the ships passage let's. go. was there for state piracy which the house would have no hesitation in condemning. it because freedom of navigation is a vital interest of everybody we will now seek to put together a european letter maritime protection mission to support safe passage of crew and conquer in this fight which we've had constructive discussions with a number of countries in the last quarter and we will discuss later this week the

best way to complement this with recent u.s. proposals in the senate so let's get more now we are joined from london by detail correspondent barbara faisal with the latest on this so we heard the foreign minister there barbara articulating how he's going to seek out this mission how exactly could it work. that's our is absurd absolutely the $1000000.00 pound or euro dollar question whatever you want because nobody knows there is not really a lot of volunteers are out there if you look to berlin for instance are if you look to paris and other european capitals who say oh yes this is what we've been waiting for the problem behind this is that other european capitals feel that the british have brought this upon themselves we do need to remember 2 weeks ago they sort of captured in the rainy and tanker that was headed towards a syrian port they said this was in breach sanctions and international regulations

so they were in the right and the iranians are in the wrong but most security analysts here see this as a simple tit for tat situation the iranians are simply taking revenge on the british so how to get european partners into the boat in order to protect ships in the strait of hormuz that is going to be very difficult indeed and how deeply could we see that tape for tat deepened barbara because i mean jeremy hunt he really didn't mince. words here he called this iranian piracy could we see sanctions sanctions that actually bite. and that's tall talk of course by jeremy hunt and that doesn't cost anything that's for free and they are there is talk of further sanctions beyond really looking at the sanctions that the united states already heaped on iran what else would britain have to think about as

freezing it iranian assets that are being held in britain that certainly that is a possibility but that doesn't really mean a lot to a regime that is already under such intense pressure and wants to sort of withstand that pressure now we also it's worth mentioning the u.k. is amidst a leadership transition we have a new prime minister soon to be sworn in and it's looking like it's going to be boris johnson as the front runner what could that mean for the situation it means for him at least that immediately after you come into office on wednesday afternoon he has this big and very dangerous diplomatic and political crisis on his hands when he was the foreign minister he did to the other european countries did particularly france and germany the signatories of the nuclear deal to keep it alive by all means and to sort of stick to it and will he continue doing so nobody

knows who he sort of tried to throw the british lock in was the more hardline stance and aggressive stance of washington nobody knows even his closest advisers at the moment admit that they have no idea what boris johnson might turn out to do in this situation we are in barbara faisal in london thank you. let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world tehran says that it has identified and captured 17 iranian nationals it claims were working as spies for the american cia iranian state television has reported that some of those taken into custody of already been sentenced to death us president tunnel trump has said that the allegations are quote totally false puerto ricans took to the streets of the capital side want to vent their anger over the refusal of governor ricardo to resign he's been under pressure to step down after publication of sexist and

homophobic text messages exchanged by him and his team he had already promised not to rerun for election next year. a suicide car bombing in the somali capital mogadishu has killed at least 17 people and injured dozens more the militant group al-shabaab says that it carried out the blasts which targeted a busy checkpoint near the airport the group has been trying to topple somalia's government for more than a decade. and india has successfully launched an unmanned spacecraft to the far side of the moon the shangri on 2 took off from the space center a week later than scheduled due to a technical glitch it's a very major step forward in india's efforts to become a space superpower. now to ukraine where president the load amir's alleged party claims to have won an absolute majority following sunday's parliamentary election if confirmed the result would be the best that any party has achieved in ukraine's

post soviet history selenski called snap elections after his landslide presidential win in april because parliament was dominated by his opponents he wants a parliamentary majority so that he can push through promised reforms and his fight against corruption. for more let's bring in kiev correspondent nick connelly who joins us from the ukrainian capital so you know judging by these latest projections nick we're seeing that selenski party could indeed exceed expectations and get a majority in parliament how is it looking and what is the reaction. well this really is uncharted territory for ukrainian politics with 80 percent of ballots now counted it looks like the linsky will indeed have that absolute majority will not have to form a coalition with anyone this is more power than any of his previous is this have ever had to give you a bit of a context here the nearest party the 2nd place parties own only about 12 percent selenski over 40 percent so it really is

a story of zelinsky servant of the people party the newly founded party and all the rest and these are all new members of parliament not one of his new members of parliament has sat in parliament before there are people from all kinds of walks of life from chefs to journalists to fellow comedians from all of the ms lewinsky's comedy group so there really is a really mixed bag of new faces in ukraine's parliament in terms of his new powers not concentration of powers in his hands we asked people in the streets of kiev what they made of it all let's have a listen to what i think it's a good thing ukraine has to develop an absolute majority is something new for a country why not give it a try. because i think it's never good if too much power is concentrated in one pair of hands we need checks and balances but there are about to happen and i think it's a good thing selenski need support in parliament so without that it would be tough to stash it scary and it's awful he's going to use or power is evidently you in

there we don't rate selenski he's going to ruin the president say instead to the president. it's a risk and a big responsibility selenski is going to have to answer for all the problems the slow progress of reforms it's his responsibility and no one else's. so the political gamble to call snap elections i mean it seems to have paid off but 5 years ago after the my down protests there was also a big push for change what's different this time. i think this election result is not a rejection of the mind on its values it's more rejection of the old political class and people like. petro poroshenko ukraine's old president who failed to deliver on the aims of the my down as fast as people wanted voters are generally ungrateful they've banked the improvements the fact that they're not scared of the police anymore that the police have stopped taking bribes at least on a kind of day to day level or the fact that the press can report freely without fear of serve in prevention people frustrated about low quality of life low

earnings there was a frustrated that hasn't been more progress fighting corruption and selenski was the perfect new face to pin those hopes on on the one hand he's a new face someone new to politics but equally he's someone who's known to every ukrainian from 20 years on their t.v. screens so those things really came together and he proved very able person to channel those hopes and has proven that this is an aberration this is a 3 quarters win the presidential election now this stunning victory in the parliamentary elections what can we expect from him in terms of foreign relations especially balancing relations between the west and russia i think obviously this strengthens lensky in any negotiations with the west and with russia shows he's got a big part of ukraine's population behind him i don't think it'll have as much influence on foreign policy as it will on his domestic agenda after all the conflict with russia that is that power dynamic isn't going to change because of this during the election campaign the presidential campaign selenski had made noise

that sounded a bit more conciliatory as if he was willing to make big concessions towards russia to get a quick resolution to this conflict in office though he has sounded a lot more guarded and for now i think it would be. headed should you all to expect the kind of progress if this gives him now call loans to really try and rebuild ukraine from the bottom up within the country and in terms of his foreign relations it's it's obviously a big benefit it's a wreaks fill it for him but it's not going to change anything very soon in terms of donbass and relations russia that connally in kiev thank you. swimming's world championships in south korea and adam p.t. has extended his dominance in the breaststroke of events he took gold in the 100 meters the british swimmer had broken his own record and the fine for this final though he fell short of that time today he finished well clear of his rivals to claim the 3rd straight $100.00 metres world title.
