for more analysis i'm now joined by marcus kayyem senior fellow at the german institute for international and security affairs here in berlin so this is the 3rd taker that we know of at least that iran has seized in the past weeks is there any substance to these accusations of oil smuggling or is this just iran being provocative i think we have to do very different patents here 1st one sees seashell the british tanker was a clear political signal to the united kingdom to the west in general so it wasn't about the tanker as such but more political signal don't mess around with iran or the seizure of the the small vessel today and not the west a couple of weeks ago it seems to be a different pattern iran is fighting the smuggling of highly subsidized petroleum and all. the paper would be around the government to our country so i think it's a different pattern here. and this is

a tense situation in the persian gulf whatever these patterns are what does this mean for europe for european oil supplies for european trade routes for the economy i mean in general your country's resource poor resources and the highly dependent on and exports and imports therefore they haven't you which interest in the freedom of the seas the freedom of navigation and all that sea lanes internationally and in particularly there are a persian gulf to 20 to 30 percent of the t.v. all production is shipped through therefore i think we have a very interesting debate here in europe going on in germany and in the other european countries about the maritime mission about patrolling the seas is taking of this debate so this this latest incident which took place last week which we found out about today we've heard some increased calls for european security missions in the strait of hormuz could this defuse the situation. or would it just

make things worse i think we have to differentiate what if the us plans still on the table which is not acceptable to the european countries u.k. france and germany because they will participate in the political approach of massive pressure which they have rejected so far so i think what could be feasible would be european coalition of the willing of countries politically willing and military movie militarily capable to broker provide some escorts to the ships and their persian gulf at the end of the day we need an international mandate really about the un security council and this is not in the collet so far. do you see a potential end to this provocation we heard of the iranian ayatollah saying if iran can't sell its oil no one can and they really do effectively control the strait of hormuz no matter what so what could be a possible and to these provocations to this increase in tension i think we have to

differentiate between the political tensions so clean room the iranian nuclear program which cannot be solved so far without the united states which is the trumpet industry has decided to leave the room and i think to be honest it's dead so far but we can mitigate the tensions is should be the task of the international community and i expect the united nations to be more active than the past doing think it is marcus thank you so much for joining us thank you. moving now to hong kong where protesters are again on the march it's the 9th straight weekend of pro-democracy demonstrations a rally is now underway in the city center some protesters are throwing stones and eggs at police and government buildings hong kong residents are outraged at the heavy police response to earlier demonstrations last night a march of several 1000 people descended into chaos with protesters setting fire to

the road has been closed to for about a half an hour 30 it's starting to get intense big lines of traffic i'm sure if i walk to thing you can see the lines of traffic that have built up due to the road closure. now a minute ago and i'm going it was allowed to go past protests is a very keen to make sure the path is clear when they do you see emergency vehicles but my and this is another very tense very long night in hong kong. and we're going to have a little bit more from your piece that you filed for us let's take a look at what the latest is. it looks like a scene from an action meeting these young people have grown wise to what could be in store. the expertise building with their experience that a month steadfast and shaken and carefree protests are getting more and more dangerous and more my fall and i hope hong kong people turn come out and just make

some noise for the government to make them. answer our protest our our needs and i will some that lives lighting a fire at a nearby police station breaks through the building site defaced. weeks of violent clashes the fanned the flames the people's anger. is the blazes the town the police move in. another night of chaos begins. the protests of those who are prepared for a fight many of them carrying umbrella weapons on google carrying sooner with well thought out the problem or question tonight we're coming to are c going to have a remarkable are we don't people running oh green i'm going to work that. you know how come little girl now as we can with

police to come in once again and clear the streets here as these protesters move from place to place across across the city now so we haven't seen the huge numbers of people in recent weeks that we saw previously previously 1000000 some estimates say 2000000 people took to the streets as part of a march the protests that we're seeing that are breaking out late into the evening they are small pockets of protests that followed peaceful marches during the day as these small pockets that are that engaging in clashes with police that's when they take assets been fighting we're seeing things a little bit like tonight where i'm sure as you can see behind me we've got a police car here with graffiti sprayed on it elsewhere graffiti sprayed across the barricades around this this main road here calling for democracy in hong kong are we looking at a possibility that at some point beijing is going to step in and you know put the kibosh on this as it were. well that's obviously

a concern for many people have people worried that that could happen at the moment they don't feel like it's imminent people that we've spoke to say that primary concern of the police the hong kong police force they say that they've engaged in brutal behavior with these protesters here they say that it's been extremely heavy handed and there's a lot of anger here in hong kong now level the police this this protest movement really has a volvo and now the police force is one of them main concerns people are calling for an independent investigation into the behavior of police here so far remains to be seen now tonight whether we're going to have more heavy clashes that are causing so much anger here in hong kong charlot telson co for us on the ground in hong kong thank you so much. moving on to sports in tennis nick curio australia has advanced to the final of the washington open with an upset victory
