sanctions a charge that iran denies after the grace was captured iran van seized a british flagged tanker in the strait of hormuz of the gateway to the persian gulf so will the british time be released the w correspondent reza tropper is on the island in the strait of hormuz. assessment of the british tanker has already been moved from the place where it was detained in the strait of hormuz a couple of weeks ago closer to the port in bandar abbas where the 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 revolutionary guards 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 it's not free in peril here in the persian gulf will not be released either iran's foreign minister zarif said. 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 we've spoken to some people here from ireland and they said they do not want a conflict to happen with other countries not here 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 in. serious trouble reporting from there out of the question in the strait of hormuz let's take a closer look at this with dr simon mabon he's a political analyst specializing in the middle east studies and international relations of the university of lancaster in the u.k. welcome to d.w. so the tank is now free to say oh it's been moved but it's still there what's the hold up. well i guess it depends who you believe and who you're asking the question

to there are holes from a piece of jesting but there are perhaps some mechanical issues with the tanker which is meant that the captain himself has said that he sees not willing to sail the ship or perhaps that this is this is one of the hold ups not the most suspicious minded might suggest that well this is actually a case of subterfuge is the united states trying to insert influence trying to prevent the tanker from leaving and trying to reassert its its strongly and to reigning position when it seemed that diplomacy was winning and that that the ship would be released through diplomatic measures so we have 2 ships now having been seized in the strait we have a number of other ships are having being holed beneath the water line what is the state of shipping now in this in this important shipping lane. well obviously it's incredibly precarious right now we know the 5th around

a 5th of the world's oil supplies go through the strait of hormuz each day so it's got a huge impact on the global economy and global supply chains but obviously there's there's a great deal of concerned with these these ships these tankers being seized and with the tanker incident earlier this summer but i would argue that if the ships are released if the 1st the iranian tanker and then the british tanker released that not could potentially signal a more positive move a could signal a more sort of responsible and period of restraint in the gulf given that this seems to be this deescalation of tensions this human of course that the ships are released if they're not there could lead to an increased tensions so i guess we just have to wait and see how the things play out in the next day or 2 east is there likely to have been a deal done one ship for the of. it's quite possible i mean i'd imagine that there have been but channels that have been opened that there has been

dialogue between the british and the iranians to try and sort out how this can play out without things escalating further i mean either the british know the iranians want to come to spite of what united states might think so i would imagine that has been dialogue and that would suggest that the british would release this this tanker 1st and then in response a reciprocal move would be the iranians releasing the british tanker that would be the logical thing and that could easily come about through a bit of diplomacy and a bit of diplomatic wrangling good talking to you clear as ever dr simon mabon from the university of la castor thank you now to zimbabwe that police have used tear gas and water cannons against the anti-government protesters in the capital harare more than $100.00 opposition supporters demonstrated despite a police ban which the high court upheld protesters supporting zimbabwe's opposition movement for democratic change accuse the government of corruption and

mismanagement the struggling economy. chaos and violence as zimbabwe police clashed with opposition supporters firing tear gas and water cannons to disperse the protesters. earlier on friday demonstrators took to the streets of harare after their plans for a large scale marches were banned by police late on thursday nights. that angry at the government blaming them for the country's daya konami situation if we generally see peacefully he wants change was rather tired of promises promises promises riyad tired enough until now. it is in the general people people we have the power within is the executive that is why all the c.b.c. he is the most original. it was supposed to be the 1st in a series of protests across the country overnight by the main opposition party

movement for democratic change after zimbabwe's high court rejected that challenge to the pan opposition leaders vowed to continue fighting. we are not making doubt we are going forward to the people of zimbabwe i can't fit up no one in this long suffering so what preceded it in my cheeks it's about. as police launched the crackdown the ruling party zanu p.f. issued a warning to demonstrators. visions no we didn't really even get this in a recent oh and i was the mend. oh. my we are not going ringback to allow him. to. be said that. with almost a 3rd of the country's population in need of 8 demonstrators

a set to keep up that calls for change however police attempt to stop them. let's go straight to harare that will be joined by a double correspondent to privilege must here welcome privilege i do these anti-government riots pose any threat to the government of course they do these demonstrations are coming after watch we saw in 2017 when president robert mugabe was removed from power people with protesting of course you the government. it looks like we've lost the line to harare we will we'll move on or so for that with very brief i was privileged most on here in harare will move on now to

some of them so it's making news around the world u.s. democrats democratic congresswoman rashida to leave has rejected an offer from israel allowing her to visit her palestinian grandmother in the west bank she deli received a special permission which reversed a previous israeli on entering the territory israel's off ok after congresswoman tillie agreed not to permit to boycotts against the country during her visit. protests have broken out in indian administered kashmir fall on a friday prayers the people rallied in the main city a shrine ago which is that it's 12 day of a security lockdown after india's strip the region of its political ptolemy the news agency has reported that police clashed with demonstrators. the united states city of new york vacuity the busy transport hub after suspicious objects were reported to police to abandoned pressure cookers at the folsom street subway

hong kong had a fresh protest that have already begun. d.w. correspondent charlotte chelsea was in hong kong she sent to see some updates as the territory enters the 11th weekend of protests. thousands of people are once again gathered in this iconic hong kong congress evening this is the 1st in a number of protests planned over the weekend this one is being called the stand with hong kong power to the people who protest the organizes a demanding that the u.k. and the u.s. take action in solidarity with this pro-democracy movement now a lot of people are going to be watching the events of this weekend very closely that is after a big turning point on tuesday nights when 2 men were detained and assaulted by protesters at the airports protests and then issued an apology saying that they believe that the 2 men were chinese infiltrators they say that they've learned from

their mistakes they want these protests going forward to remain as peaceful as possible but the trouble is of course this is a leaderless movement that's been a big strength of the protest movement is also a weakness is there are small factions factions of protesters who do plan on becoming more aggressive protesters here say the events of this weekend will also depend on beijing any action they take and of course the actions of police who protesters say that become increasingly violent over recent weeks. a fellow chelsea in hong kong well social media haas played an important role in the protests activists have been using apps like twitter and telegram to organize around isn't informed protestors about time states and places now they're getting more creative to try to drive widen their reach you know we report about the richest can tell us more welcome back and what sort of tools we're talking about when you mention the telegram tool now people are continuing to use that messaging app it works

a little similarly to whatsapp but the benefit of telegram is of course it is not trackable you can set it up with a fake name if you like and. not linked to a phone number or any particular account so that's obviously beneficial but now the police are cracking down on protesters at the sites and whatever cracking down on them spreading information part is the having to think outside the box to keep the momentum and spread of information one novel way is they using the dating at tyndall people we're very familiar with the world over us white rights white left people in hong kong have been using the app to show their support for the movement by adding hash tags to their profiles or political slogans like these ones here some people are even using the political slogans as their profile pictures and this is more to show support and keep momentum rather than a way to actually organize any events but a telegram intended just the tip of the iceberg another thing that protesters have been using has become really popular is i think it may not be as fermented to people that say it's an. in-built in the i phone and now it's

a great way for reaching people who don't use social media for older people people who aren't as tactics having for instance you don't have to download it you don't even have to be on the internet but uses bluetooth to create a peer to peer network and it's crypted so the only thing with it is it's really it's a bit like leafleting in the old days i suppose because it's actually only for people that are in your proximity so if it's a feature if it's turned on anyone can send you a message and people here if they even can open them and say photos and videos and protesters reaching beyond fellow hong kong as yes that's right they're trying to target tourists and especially tourists from mainland china now the protests have been really sensitive coverage of the protests unsurprisingly think quite sense that in china the protesters are targeting them too and using this feature it's really handy because it gets around the china wall that some chinese might have if they use chinese telecom providers some of the images are designed to look and feel

a bit like propaganda from beijing but when you look closely you realize that the message is actually and chinese government yes so it's a really great tool for that research thank you. this is the w. news live from that and still to come the new book is very good football season starts tonight and barguti shaky in preseason we'll find out why after the battle hard for the record 8th consecutive time. i had a vast leaders of nations at risk from rising sea levels in the pacific ocean have failed to agree on a new climate change commitments meeting of the states into fallujah hopes to help limit rising temperatures but australia the world's biggest a coal exports blocked a binding agreement in order to protect its economy. the half hearted handshake says it all there's nothing to be proud of here instead of a compelling global call to action the pacific island forum concluded with

a watered down plan that opposing nations can easily opt out of the frustrated host scrambles for conciliatory words everybody should move together in the family spirit of the 4 i think that. it's no use to start ups to the blade being gay. but all fingers are pointing towards australia and its prime minister scott morrison. of the 15 most climate vulnerable states on the planet 7 are in the pacific region in order to protect them the leaders were hoping the forum would commit to action to limit temperature rises and agree to an immediate halt to coal mining these hopes for quickly dampened by the region's powerhouse. we as christians very strongly giving no exchange and states be treated be unschooled as though you are concerned about saving new economy.

a situation in australia conserves about saving my people into both likewise the leaders of others of his reach moral compass morrison has long championed his country's lucrative coal industry he concedes climate change is real but insists it can be managed in a way that doesn't hurt his economy. because try to cancel 1.3 percent of the will to missions astride you. want to start one on them. and if we're serious about it we'd better actually understand that emissions don't have a nationality and with the bulk of emissions come from that's what's threatening the world's moment but at this point it's also australia's actions or the lack of them that are jeopardizing the future of millions of people living in the pacific structure our responsibility morris and won't be able to walk away from.

also under threat from rising global temperatures the vast region's powa frost is thawing and releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere if this continues it could spell disaster locally and around the planet but one scientist is testing a new method that he believes could reverse the trend and keep siberia frozen. 240 kilometers above the arctic circle it's summertime in the russian arctic at 1st glance the natural surrounding here seems healthy but russian scientists sergei seem of disagrees here at the bank of the cooling ma river he shows us how siberia is permafrost is melting. at one sure as the microbes here have been sleeping almost 50000 years when they wake up they will immediately start eating and will be producing carbon dioxide we have so many microbes if they all thought out europe's climate would become intolerable. the arctic permafrost is key to the world's

climate it contains twice as much carbon as is found in the earth's atmosphere if it follows climate damaging gases will be released and this frozen layer is melting more quickly than previously believed in order to protect the permafrost sergei similar wants to revive the ice age in an area about the size of lifton stein together with his son nikita he has been cutting down trees planting primeval grasses and introducing grazing animal herds. but if you think we do have that in december there's a thick layer of snow here it insulates the soil from the cold forces search for across here they trample around in the snow and stamp it down that helps keep the permafrost cold during the winter which prevents it thawing out during the summer. seamounts experiment has been drawing scientists from around the world the team from the max planck institute are here to see whether his changes to the ecosystem are having an effect. as beginner for your assumes that the whole system

circulation is much more active that there's a more active exchange with the atmosphere but in the end more carbon will accumulate in the soil due to the photosynthesis of the livelier grasses that will grow here than measurements the seamounts have taken show that the soil temperature in their ice park is already staying cooler. i don't want to leave my grandchildren and their children with this miserable landscape which only mosquitoes like i'd rather leave them with the proper species rich nature of our ancestors the kind of nature that stabilizes and feeds humans should have read enough. for seem off no idea is too big he can imagine woolly mammoths once again roaming through yakutia one day geneticists at harvard university are already preparing to support this project. so for fans of german football here i'm proud of the way it's nearly over the new

bundesliga season kicks off this evening in this stadium when champions by munich begin their count against stats up bad. aiming for a record 8 league titles in a row but they face stiff competition you need not really beaten dortmund to the prize last season and don't want to brought in some key new players including notts holes. so let's go through this with chris hansen from d.w. store to welcome chris thank you didn't by and show any weaknesses that last season that might give their opponents a bit of hope this time yeah i think it's fair to say that because for a long stretch of last season they were not holding the number one spot of the table something that byron has become accustomed to doing you know and mean had an opportunity to pretty much secure the title but things worked out differently and byron snuck up through the back door and secured you know their 7th title in a row but in terms of the start of this season there's been

a rough patch they kicked off their season against. their rival in the super quick cup and they need to tighten up some issues the result wasn't the way they won it and we have a report on it phillips take a look. 1st test this season could have brought their 1st trophy instead to super cup against dortmund in early august draw only frustration the champions have failed to significantly strengthen their squad and they were exposed by their closest rivals without direct replacements for departed u.i. and robin and frank rebury a title defense will be anything but easy. the fact is that we definitely have to make an of a signing i said it last year we had to serious injuries with contract to lease 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 and. has

received 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. on the top of. the. parasitic can't even play in by an open by lin he suspended after picking up too many yellow cards in the italian top flight last season yet another headache for the champions last term 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 against and maybe beyond. what's on your plate despite the lack of big name signings by and usually the lead

off of the 1st game of the season right you know as this statistics tell us when they win the opener they've gone on to win the season and then they hold all sorts of goal scoring records and in so on you know but in terms of them not signing big names they might still be the market leader a sign a who was recently injured he's still at man city defensively they had to tighten up i think they've done that in the signing of benjamin provide lucas hernandez and model noir seems healthy that will help a bunch but in terms of their opponents had to berlin they have a new coach a homegrown product a guy who's only has experience in the 4th division he basically coached the reserve team and had to berlin things in walk work out with paul dyer die so. you know is getting his debut in the bonus think it's our flight as a head coach and he had this to say about the upcoming affair with byron munich plowman. i'm excited rather than a 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 on the cooking with somebody else called. so what about the season as a whole how do the less likely to you know the big narrative is is it is this dortmund's year do you know doormen did everything that they did to improve they could to improve it in terms of signing players early when they had a chance to integrate themselves into the system you know talking to you leon brot as well as niko scholtz and then as you mentioned before experience defender you know former bar players well that's the big question is this their year to dethrone or byron munich you know i'm personally think no it's not i think i think what we saw last year is we saw dortmund have the title in their grasp and then you know when it got tough when the rubber met the road they kind of losing their grip and buyers were able to capture you know a consecutive title i think the game is more mental than physical but we'll see

byron you know test the waters we'll get a good eye test in their performance tonight against heads of berlin but all in all i do think byron are capable of repeating kris hollington they don't use thank you . and you know up today more at the top of the hour on the website that's called i'm good.
