a merry time patrol fleets in the strait of hormuz. the crew appear well according to these images shown on iranian state media the 23 sailors were captured by iran along with the british flag tank a stain imperio seized by the revolutionary guard have been held in an iranian harbor since friday the british government says it's a violation of international law it faces criticism at home for not preventing the capture of british ships by iran despite multiple warning signs britain's foreign minister wants to deescalate tensions is turning to europe. help and says he disagrees with the united states' strategy of applying maximum pressure to iran over the nuclear deal we will now seek to put together a european led maritime protection mission to support safe passage both crew and cargo in this fight which it will not be part of the u.s. maximum pressure policy on iran because we remain committed to preserving the iran

nuclear agreement which. iran has connected the fate of the steamer in peril with that of another tanker the grace one it was seized by british special forces 2 weeks ago in gibraltar and was accused of carrying iranian oil to syria in violation of e.u. sanctions a charge tehran rejects. when you illegally seize a shipping and even a spanish believe that you have done this unfriendly and hostile act in their territory we don't deem it necessary to show tolerance. the united kingdom is now dispatching another warship to the region whether other european ships will join the mission remains unclear. earlier i spoke with our correspondent in london barbara biggs well i asked her if there is any more information on how exactly this mission is supposed to work that is the 1000000 pound all bank a 10000000 pound question that jeremy hunt and foreign secretary did secretary didn't answer in parliament today because there has so far not really been

a lot of voluntary involvement from the side of the of the european as they didn't want to get dragged into this conflict read need to remember things are a bit more complicated this is a tit for tat action that's what many security experts here say because 2 weeks ago the british seized in a rain in tanker now the brits said it was headed for syria and was carrying for hit by sanctions for hit it off well as so this is the whole back story to it now britain is asking paris and berlin and the other europeans please help us we need to protect our tankers and so that it's going to take some intense diplomacy however on the other hand the other europeans also do need to protect their tankers so the whole situation is a complete mess politically diplomatically and everybody here says in london the best thing would be the 2 sides brits and the iranians could sort of exchange the

true tankers and be done with it you know that's a good point barbara what do you make of the fact that britain is calling on its european allies and not the united states to help create this force in the strait of hormuz that says something doesn't it. politically off course this is quite clear because britain did not want to enter into this much more belligerent note that washington has been showing since it ended from their side the nuclear from the for the nation treaty was busy iran and so they didn't they still sticking to the european side we want to keep the nuclear treaty was iran we want to find figure out ways to make it possible to keep it alive behind britain is now broiled into in this one on one conflict was the iranian side that makes things much more complicated and the treaty less and less viable but on the other hand also my campaign the us foreign secretary has already said europeans you're

supposed to protect your own boats so what they what can they do now it's a diplomatic political mess and they need to somehow talk to raines and see whether they will are willing to engage at all the prime minister in britain theresa may she shared that cobra meeting today it's one of the last things that she will be was prime minister because tomorrow the u.k. gets a new prime minister and we expect that to be boris johnson do we know what what he will do about iran anything different than what theresa may has don't. we don't know what we what she will do because we don't know anything about what the intentions of the man really are he will come into office when still afternoon these change over syria and britain function very quickly a series of may has one last day then she will go visit the queen then boris johnson supposedly will go visit the queen and after that he takes office within

a few hours and watch his intention really are either on prices on iran even his closest advisers meant they don't know so far when he was still foreign minister he sort of toed the european line but will he suddenly change opinion and throw his luck with the american side nobody knows we'll wait and see we will wait and see for sure your correspondent barbara feasible the story in london tonight barbara thank you tehran says it has identified a captured 17 iranian nationals it claims were working as spies for the american cia iranian state television reports that some of those taken into custody have already been sentenced to death u.s. president donald trump responded in a tweet today saying quote the accusations are totally false it's the cia has not comment on the report or hear some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world

next year. ukraine's comedian turned president of all to me as a lynskey has every reason to smile tonight elections on sunday so his party claim an absolute majority in parliament he now thinks is the challenge of turning that historic victory into political action selenski and his servant of the people party will now be expected to deliver on their campaign promises of fighting corruption and bringing peace to eastern ukraine. the morning after the election the head of the president's party already appeared victorious now it seems the servants of the people will indeed gain an absolute majority in parliament something no other party has ever achieved in ukraine the new parliamentarians a set to use their 1st session to restrict their own powers. to put out this is about removing their immunity and changing the constitution so that members of

parliament can be temporarily or permanently removed from their roles we will call them what you say lenski himself has promised peace in donbass on a stronger crackdown on corruption he can only get his reforms through though if he has parliament on his side that that will come with risks to. what he and his team bear full responsibility now that's a risk because the ukrainian electorate is not used to having to wait they want positive changes fast because we knew that also calling for tangible changes like lower gas prices and high of pensions. observers say it was a free election but they've criticized ukraine's narrow media landscape it is largely divided along political lines and ownership is highly concentrated in and so powerful business interests and political actors so to turn out for the parliamentary elections was the lowest ukraine has ever seen. but he w.'s the

economy has been following this election closely from the ukrainian capital here's his analysis of what could potentially be a huge shake up in the country's politics. a t.v. chef and a limp and a fellow comedian these are just some of the people now set to enter ukraine's new parliament on behalf of all of them as a lenski servant of the people party not only selenski ukraine's 1st president to enjoy an absolute majority in parliament but he's also bringing a whole new generation of political newbies to power in the process kicking out much of the political old guard none of selenski new m.p.'s have ever sat in parliament before this is a huge opportunity for selenski to reshape the crane and carry out much needed reforms but it also carries a political risk with all the power concentrated in his hands they can be no excuses and no blaming a hostile position should reforms fail the buck very differently stops with zelinsky. that was nick connelly reporting from kiev prosecutors in the united states say soccer star cristiana rinaldo will not face criminal charges in
