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 a 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 for 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 maritime protection mission to support safe passage of 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 preserve it iran nuclear agreement. iran has connected the fate of the steamer imperio 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 a use 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. let's get the latest on this now from london with a lot of pots good morning for a lot of the british foreign minister there is calling for a joint european naval force patrol the gulf now how quickly can one be put together and what are london's plans to protect this shipping in the meantime. well at this point brian in 6 treme unclear how those european let protection force in

the gulf would look like who is participating all of the specifics jeremy hunt didn't mention and of course it comes as a bit of an irony at this time when the u.k. is planning on leaving the european union to then ask the europeans for help but as we've reported over the last days the u.k. is in a bit of a bind here because they don't want to be aligned too closely with the united states the united states withdrew from that nuclear deal as the u.k. remains committed to that so at the moment as things stand there is still a standoff between iran and the united kingdom the u.k. has an iranian ship iran has a u.k. ship and basically there are voices here in london that us saying why don't you just exchange those ships and deescalate the situation that way ok we're going to talk about the voices in london on a number of topics today because the british foreign minister is in the headlines

today for another reason jeremy hunt will find out in a few hours time if he is the next leader of the british conservative party he's running against a former foreign minister next long and where boris johnson in a membership ballot of all tory party members now johnson is of course the overwhelming favorite to take over the party leadership almost certainly the post of british prime minister as well from theresa may here's a look now at the 2 compass. that's nothing this man wants more than the keys to number 10 downing street or the way they figured. they were. fortunately for boris johnson the keys to this forklift truck off found although he's on course to be britain's next prime minister his drive towards the top job has been a little bumpy. around with his girlfriend that went public threaten to derail his leadership bid when britain's ambassador to the us became embroiled in

a diplomatic spat with president donald trump johnson was criticized for failing to give him his full support to be better he was even heckled about it in a recent tory leadership posturing. the. thank you mr johnson has though been very clear about one thing that the u.k. must leave the european union by halloween with or without a deal of the 3 years to listed lines we must leave the e.u. on october 30. 6th he's been criticized for his lack of detail how would you handle paragraph 5 c. i would i would confide entirely in paragraph 5 b. because that is the how would you get round watson 5 c.

i would confide entirely in paragraph 5 b. which is. says. that you are a man of. the former foreign secretary and london man is still the conservatives favorite candidate and it's the 160000 party members who decide who wins we are going to get young people voting conservative again although. jeremy hunt knows he's trailing mr johnson in the party polls but the current foreign secretary has done what he can to stay in the race he's even promised to embrace a no deal bricks it. if my judgment is that there is no deal to be done i will immediately cease all discussions with the european union and focus the whole country's mission. he might be presenting himself as the serious candidate put throughout this contest mr johnson has looked like the man

who'd be given the keys to number 10. ok let's go back to london now and. let's talk about jeremy haun he's not expected to win the tory leadership but his prominent role in the iran crisis has been strengthening him could he be part of a possible boris johnson led government well jeremy hunt the current foreign minister he really has been the face of the iran crisis he's been very present he's also received a lot of criticism saying he did too little too late so will he stay on in a possible johnson administration we don't know but of course this would be a matter of stability in a major international crisis and the possibility is sam but he is boris johnson's main rival and i think overall in this leadership race it has neither her nor helped jeremy hunt and we are still expecting as you said that boris johnson will become the new prime minister we should know in just

a few hours about that and johnson is of course expected to become the next british prime minister when will we know for sure what's the timeline here. we will know at 11 o'clock london time so in just 4 hours the announcement will be made here in westminster then where you will know if boris johnson becomes the new prime minister we are expecting to see over the next couple of days everything to unfold very quickly that turn over this very quickly so basically tomorrow theresa may will hold a resignation speech she will then go to the queen say her goodbye say or then right away boris johnson will be welcomed by the queen will be officially welcomed as the new prime minister and he will within a matter of hours move into downing street and we are expecting to see major cabinet announcements from him over the next couple of days the question then is whether he is going to have a long night of pro breaks it serious and his cabinet and we will also see

a lot of resignations over the next couple of days we've already seen those because boris johnson is a very divisive figure also in his own party and a lot of people are already plotting against him ok that certainly is the case especially because of his adamant stance of leaving the you even with no deal members of his party rebelling against that already if he does form a new government house. well we always say the 1st 100 days for any leader really crucial with boris johnson we really don't know if he makes it through those 1st 100 days he has promised to take the u.k. out of the european union in $100.00 days on october 31st and he will have to play in his plans how he is going to do that how he is going to renegotiate the withdrawal agreement with the european union and if you really take if he's really

willing to take out the u.k. without a deal if you can't renegotiate so we're going to see very very exciting times he is going to be a prime minister and a ha. sorry we are heading into some a break here paula is heading on some a break on on thursday so boris johnson will really need to hurry to rally palm and behind him and rally his own party and united's own party behind him a lot lot happening there in london over the next few days for now thanks very much going to brief you know on some of the other stories making news this hour a power cut has hit large parts of venezuela social media reports indicating that all $24.00 states are being affected the country's main airport lost power and the outage cause traffic jams in the capital for august the government said the blackout was caused by sabotage by electromagnetic attack.

striking a positive note although they have been less than friendly on twitter in the past now the change in tone could hold the key to ending american military involvement in afghanistan. a push to mend tense u.s. pakistan relations in person after clashing on twitter pakistani prime minister imran khan has held his 1st one on one talks in washington with his us while online sparring partner u.s. president donald trump the afghan conflict responsible for straining those ties was a key focus of talks trump hopes card can help broker a peace deal between the taliban and the afghan government and pave the way to ending nearly 18 years of u.s. military involvement in afghanistan. i have no plans on afghanistan that if i wanted to win that war afghanistan would be wiped off the face of the earth it would be god it would be over in literally in 10 days and i

don't want to do that i don't want to go that route so we're working with pakistan and others to extricate ourselves nor do we want to be a policeman because basically we're policeman right now and we're not supposed to be a policeman we've been there through we've been there for 19 years in afghanistan khan who has called for mutually beneficial ties with the us since he won pakistan's general election last year sounded optimistic. so there is only one solution. i feel that i think we will discuss this is the closest we have been to obesity. in the coming days we will be able to. speak to. the settlement a political solution. this bridge building is a far cry from relations last year when trump attacked pakistan on twitter accusing the country of supporting islamist militants and cutting security aid now trump has

held out the carrot of possibly restoring aid if this meeting yields results offering the prospect of better relations between the 2 nations. ok let's talk about. joining us from our bureau and good morning. are we seeing the beginning of a new era in relations between the u.s. and pakistan. i would say the u.s. is that improving definitely but to say that it is a start of a new year it would be i think a little premature at this moment much depends on how deals with washington's demands regarding peace in afghanistan and the issue of doubt it is. not just in afghanistan but also in kashmir. economy is in america right now and islamabad needs the financial assistance so it is likely that pakistan. would. do

us demands. ok now during that meeting our president trump you some very dramatic rhetoric claiming that the u.s. could wipe afghanistan off the face of the earth in 10 days of the. reaction to those statements. i think it is the drums way of seeing that do you cooperate with those otherwise we have a military option so it was a match just to her and also to other players in the region. he has been using using this got a domestic policy of gunnison so i don't think of the gun at toadies would be like this is a statement it was quite irresponsible to be honest but i think it was a message aimed at monell so to other players in the region and to khan who was sitting next to him ok donald trump and am wrong also voiced their ambitions for a peace deal with the taliban in afghanistan is that where things are heading right now it is that realistic. i would not give too much importance to khan i

think the person big. person who is resisting with clothes on his army chief general. he has a lot of influence on me has a lot of influence on the taliban so much depends on the pakistani military experts say that the pakistani civilian government headed by phone on the military on the same page on a number of security defense and foreign policy issues. we have to see how much influence what would rule the pakistani military would like to play in this i think . is key to resolving this conflict. shamo shams thanks very much for the analysis this morning thanks for having me on the show. well police in the u.s. territory of puerto rico fired tear gas to disperse protesters after president
