up to its past self korea wants to plan to compensate women forced into sexual slavery during world war 2 the demand that's reopened a long running diplomatic rift between the 2 nations. and a new plan to sleep a season begins fire music triumph yet again last season and tonight they face out of the lead starts of their bid for an 8th straight german time. hello i'm terry martin welcome to the program israel has barred 2 u.s. democratic congresswoman from entering the country after president tweeted that they should be banned congresswoman omar of minnesota emigrated to the u.s. with her family from somalia when she was a child and representative rushy to leave of michigan was born in america to
9:02 am
palestinian parents have criticized israel's treatment up the palestinians and called for a boycott of israeli products. some have already noted the irony a month after u.s. president trump said congresswoman rashid had to leave should quote go back to where her family came from she can't believe took to twitter to protest israel's decision to bar her and fellow congresswoman omar from visiting the west bank she posted a photo of her palestinian grandmother who lives there calling the decision a sign of weakness on the part of israel. the 2 freshman lawmakers the 1st muslim women in congress are outspoken critics of benjamin netanyahu is right wing government they support sanctions and an international boycott against israel to end the occupation of the west bank where they had planned a trip netanyahu is announcement that the 2 would be denied entry came after trump
9:03 am
urged him not to let them in the prime minister said the move was in line with israeli law. there's no 101 there is one thing we are unable to accept by law israeli law prohibits the entry into israel of those who call for and work to impose boycotts on israel. trump a plot of the decision he had earlier encouraged. the things that they've said omar to leave what they've said is it disgraceful so i can't imagine why israel would let them in. while trump claimed without further evidence that the 2 congresswoman hate jews many jewish american politicians were quick to defend them including senator bernie sanders and the mayor of minneapolis omar's hometown. as to ban from israel is a jewish man i totally disagree with that. i think it's the wrong decision.
9:04 am
i. feel strongly that you know you can feel the jew and also say that some of the ways that the israeli government is able danger or wrong to lead said she would challenge the travel ban on to continue to fight back. and to ban the things provide access for meaning to me and my colleagues to come to israel and into the costume areas and to be able to listen to hear people israel's decision could have unwanted political consequences especially within the us democratic party earlier this year top democrats had singled out representative omar saying statements she made on israel were anti-semitic. but now the party has all but closed rings around the 2 muslim congresswoman. let's cross over to jerusalem bring in our correspondent tanya kramer good to see tonya tell us why has
9:05 am
israel decided to bar entry to these 2 us congressman. why was quite an unusual step because preparations for that this is. going and then this decision came on wednesday now both seen as you said in the report congresswoman are seen as vocal critics of israel's policies in the palestinian territories and the occupied palestinian territories and also supporters of the could movement and this is what the interior ministry said also in its statement that was yesterday that because of the spike activities staff would be barred and that is supporters of course by the whole government and also prime minister netanyahu everybody you know issued a lengthy statement then telling why those 2 congressmen shouldn't be allowed into the country now is that i can do that because it has a man that it's entry like 2 years ago and it allows israel to ban the entry of any
9:06 am
foreigner allegedly calling a foe boy because. of israel and this has happened to you know to other politicians before but not to members of congress ok what about president trump's role in all of this because president trump is also tweeted that he opposes the entry of these 2 congresswomen into israel and has told israel to keep them out is that having an influence on israel's decision. yeah that's certainly one reading of the situation could have us quite an on president to set off the events because once you have to know that a month ago the israeli ambassador to the united states one demo had actually said that the visit would go ahead and might not like the opinions of those 2 congresswomen but they would be allowed entry out of respect for congress and that israel would not bar any member of congress to to enter. and then this tweet came
9:07 am
and then some reading it is well that this has influenced that decision of prime minister netanyahu was a very strong word just tweet that israel would look weak if they would let those 2 congress women enter and of course you don't have to forget i mean we are also in the middle of an election campaign is that would cater probably also to prime ministers netanyahu is a right wing bloc but there has been also a lot of criticism well this decision means for the bipartisan nature off this relationship between the 2 allies israel and the u.s. . israel receives strong support from the u.s. congress is there any concern there that this move could jeopardize that support especially among democrats. yeah definitely i mean israeli commentators quick to point out that this might not be in the long term this decision might not be in the
9:08 am
long term interest off. the scene yesterday the immediate reactions also in social media especially among democratic. lawmakers of the democratic camp but also by the for example pro is very group aipac who also criticized the move and there is concern here that disparity you know centered relationship that's very much sense it's on president trump and the israeli prime minister and he has sided with president trump the floor it's not really in the interest of israel and that it could have serious. effects on this very special relationship between the u.s. tanya thank you very much for your insights tanya kramer there in jerusalem. for all turf its chief minister has said a seized iranian oil tanker can set sail as soon as it's ready to roll to the supreme court had ordered the release of the grace one detained by britain last
9:09 am
month that ruling came despite a last minute legal bid by the u.s. to keep the ship in detention the ship was suspected of taking iranian oil to syria in violation of e.u. and u.s. sanctions brought his chief justice says iran has no guarantee the oil is not going to syria all owing to capture of the grace one iran seized a british flag tanker near the persian gulf reports suggest iran is now planning to release that ship. of war now let's cross over to d w's teresa trawl for she joins us from quetta show on a rainy an island in the strait of hormuz so theresa iran is obviously eager to get its ship back from joe brawl to if it does will it then release that british flag tank. from what we're hearing that is very likely to happen yes there british tanker has already been moved from the place where it was detained in the
9:10 am
strait of hormuz a couple of weeks ago closer to the port and. islamic revolutionary guards are controlling everything and that's a place we have foreign specifically us journalists cannot go to as we were told to not quote and danger proceedings so apparently they're still preparing for an exchange but we have to keep in mind that the revolution in iran as a whole do not have a lot of trust in the united states or the united kingdom so before the iranian vessel in gibraltar eyes not freed this peril here in the persian gulf will not be released either now the u.s. is against your brawl to releasing the iranian tanker that it is has tried to block it with legal moves so far is iran concerned that the u.s. could take further steps to prevent the ships return. well at least nobody here would be surprised by that iran's foreign minister zarif said
9:11 am
washington's 1st attempt to stop the release of the tanker was an attempt piracy move so he said washington was abusing the international legal system to steal iranian property and that is if you sat by many iranians as well we've spoken to some people smile and they say they do not want a conflict to happen with other countries in their region and not elsewhere but that they are willing to step up and defend their own country if necessary so that is why everybody here in the persian gulf is monitoring very closely what is happening and. ok we're just talking about 2 ships here but there's of course a much bigger story going on the conflict between iran and the united states the u.s. has been pursuing what it calls a a policy of maximum pressure against iran what effect is that having on the regime in tehran. islamic leadership
9:12 am
here in iran seems very unimpressed by that campaign but that itself is not very surprising because the islamic republic is all about resisting u.s. pressure but really affected by it can pay now ordinary iranians because in the past 12 months prices for stock items like chicken of vegetables have gone up a lot for example a simple tomato is now 5 times more expensive than last year and the people most affected by that are of course ordinary iranians especially the poor ones who are already struggling to make ends meet before all of that happened so when the u.s. president now says his sanction and this policy as a whole are not targeting iranians but just the islamic leadership of the government of iran people here really have a hard time believing him to them that just sounds like simple mockery. teresa thank you very much for bringing us up to date teresa tropper there on a rainy territory in the strait of hormuz. you're watching the news still to come

australian prime minister scott morrison has long championed his country's coal. industry here is. that north korea has launched at least 2 projectiles from near the city of tongue shown into the east sea that's according to the south korean military it's the 6th round of launches in recent weeks in protest of military drills between south korea and the u.s. has rejected any further peace talks with seoul thought this week's japan is marking a solemn anniversary 74 years since it surrendered at the end of world war 2. on thursday japan observed a minute of silence led by a newly crowned emperor norah he took. the anniversary is a time of reflection for japan which lost 3100000 people to the war or he too is
9:17 am
japan's 1st emperor born after the war he expressed his country's remorse over its wartime actions. we here by reflect on our posture. and we feelings of deep remorse. we sincerely hope that the misery of the war should never be repeated then. i sincerely express condolences to those who perished in the war. you still know how they will know he must. well number of those who perished were in former japanese colonies such as south korea that wartime past still stings for many survivors like south korean women forced to work as sex slaves for japanese troops south korea is demanding that japan apologize for this dark episode japan
9:18 am
says it did so in 2015 but in south korea it's still an emotive issue and with only around 20 comfort women left to live in the country a time for reconciliation is fast running out. they say is for the victims. like lee young so. over just a girl when she was forced to work as a sex slave in japanese military brothels. they saw more unveiling ceremony talked of an emotional day of commemoration i'm protest leader like many koreans once japan to feast up to its promise and so on the new day. i'm in the morning i will never give in to the demise from japan. i've been the month so i will fight until i get an apology. the awareness
9:19 am
is uncool. it is not the money i want signs of i guess that it's an appalling side they are. elsewhere in seoul thousands to the issue to the door of the japanese embassy. to compensate investigate punish they chant the anger here reflects renewed hostilities between the 2 nations japan recently imposed trade barriers in addition over compensation awarded to forced wartime laborers only hardening their resolve. reasonably we've been asking japan for an apology for a long time but they're still not owning up to the past and instead of apologizing to the victims of forced labor they're instead retaliating on to engaging in economic retaliation which makes me really angry. with distrust and animosity
9:20 am
running so deep laying to rest the legacy of colonise nation may take many years yet. well the long wait is finally over for fans of german football here and around the world in this stadium later this evening the new bonus league a season kicks off champions by munich begin their campaign against hausa berlin by and are aiming for a record 8 league titles in a row this season but they will face stiff competition they only narrowly beat dortmund to the title last time around and dortmund have brought in some key new players including those who left by and returned to his former club.
9:21 am
sports is here to give us the lowdown on the new bonus league season good to see you tom so by and what champions again last season 8 times in a row my goodness but did they show enough weaknesses to give other teams any chance this season i think in the yeah i mean they will be of course hoping that they can go their record in a row this season last year they finished very strong last campaign they did finish very strong off to a somewhat start to restart they recovered from a gnawing point deficit 100. to come back and of course win the league and that's not forget also the german losses and whether or not that was enough to give other teams hope i think definitely don't win of course with 9 points. advantage of by munich in the league had it basically in their own hands and lucky said they have strengthened and while by munich have signed benjamin parvati. as they failed to land a star signings so i think that's
9:22 am
a worry as was their super cup performance recently at the start of august against dortmund so with the season starting tonight by and on not really in their best of a shape. bryan's 1st test this season could have brought their 1st trophy instead to super cup against dortmund in early august only frustration the champions have failed to significantly strengthened their squad and they were exposed by their closest rivals without direct replacements for departed you are in robin and frankly the re a title defense will be anything but easy. the fact is that we definitely have to make another signing i said it last year we had to serious injuries with continental e. so and. they cost as a lot of potential we have to be prepared for that if we want to achieve our goals we need a good squad not just enough players but real top quality players. because that's
9:23 am
has received one new player in the past few days attacking midfielder even paris each has joined on loan from him to milan. but even he accepts that the squad as it is might need further reinforcements. well at least 7. if you want to be only on the top of you also know that during the season there is always some interest that the story is over we need everybody parasites can't even play in buy and soap and i can buy lean he suspended after picking up too many yellow cards in the italian top flight last season yet another headache for the champions last time club president promised a pre-season of spectacular transfers it hasn't materialized and buy and will now have to make do with what they've got the gates had and maybe beyond. ok so a lack of big name signings there by and but by
9:24 am
a no are generally red hot and their 1st game of the season i think that is true yeah you have to go back 220-112-0111 extension 2 campaign to find the 1st on the pie in the last another the bottom failed to win in the opening game this is and that was also incidentally the last season in which they failed to win the title. of a suspicious mind if that doesn't go too well tonight perhaps an omen their opponents had to buy lin have got a brand new coach in which like. but in a way of croatian roots they also have made some big signings including a club record for back. so that i think as the new coach or has been in has you know in one way of looking at things got the hardest possible start for a business leader coach and opening game away up by munich however there's also a fairly little pressure there because as he admitted to a press conference the other day even if heads are really really at their best there's no guarantee that they will come away with a result nonetheless he did say they have to be on top form and off the what he
9:25 am
said was a brilliant preparation for this season he is going into this not feeling confident . i'm excited rather the nervous because i think we've had a wonderful time recently in pre-season we've tog we're set up well we are well prepared for the game so we'll see what happens thanks again. ok what about the season as a whole yeah season just getting started here how do you think it's going to pan out dortmund looked really strong last year yeah definitely i think you know like we've been saying it's hard to defend the bar in munich will be very difficult and it certainly will require a new talent their squad isn't really big enough if they suffer some injuries again they're really going to be in trouble and given that they have failed to find the right replacements for robin and frankly the race you've been brilliant service to the club over the last decade they are going to struggle unless they get somebody
9:26 am
in until the end of the transfer window the 2nd of september dortmund on the other hand like you mentioned have been very active in the transfer market with brown and told him how solid they've got strength going forward and with nico shoots and of course the return of much removed labels i strengthened at the back i think there is generally a sense the. least you could really be do with chance especially after they were so strong last season and just missed out on especially with not looking in their best shape the ball hasn't been that starts tonight is exciting but we have 2 ways a very exciting lot to look forward to tom thanks so much tom get away from these obvious sports. just reminder the top story we're following for you here today on g.w. news to us democratic congress women have been barred from visiting israel after a tweet by president. prime minister netanyahu says their visit would quote negate the legitimacy of israel from tweeted that the congresswoman painted israel and all
