to happen but even what the united nations is saying about the libyan guards firing at the migrants as they are trying to leave. i suppose we to focus on this because this is the actual claim at that the united nations is making. so it is incredibly serious that they've done this it implies these people are being kept. in prison conditions rather than in refugee conditions to doesn't it. yeah it's implied that these people -- were guarded by -- some of f the jna fororces becae they were the i havave to respoe abilility -- of of taking in charge of the the the margaret yeah and i suppopose it tat eighties due to o missing l le t a misundederstanding but the the the guards. on the must understand the orders t they took some some thr leadership. but this does not -- this is not the central the central. focus o of the dedebate t the s. insteaead off focusing g on whoy after forces t targeted the the the center it because it's in the evening.

and the building was next to the the military facilility -- w wee focusing on such as such claims. so you're saying the focus should be on what ought to happen to the migrants there is something. big hapappened behind that could you clarify a bit more on that force. yeah -- like as stated earlier on july third the the the it totook us the character of going on by the beach and explore say. have led to a string -- change of leadership within yeah all in a command center okay -- so the general -- casting was responsible the ground component has been substituted by the general muhammad months for which is the gents the general - ofofficer responsible the eleni- and he stated on july t third tt deal be this change that there willll be a change inn tactics d they'l'll be conducting -- some strong and this says that -- stririke onn selecteted targetso the e the the strive with better

was c conducted by a one eigighs been like baby viviani leadership house thought. before conducting the s. right that and the sick but not conducted by accident. a son i get a defense strategegy coconsultantnt at the middle eaa fast thank you v very much inde. afteter joining us and sharing your analysis -- on the situation a just to remind people the you and saying t that ththe libyan gods who fired act. the migrants who were trying to escape at the s. strike on tuesday nights at in. the suburbs of triply we had analysis that from house and budget -- defense strategy consultant on middle east fast and of course will be falling cold violence. on the set very disturbing developments in libya. nextel life in paris only three people out of eighty six on into survived the sinking of a michael boat in the mediterranean. the international organization for migration said the boat sank late wednesday off the chain is

in city of sizes. and a key to the market's been on board were missing. fishermen pulled foreman from the sinking boat one died of a night. let's listen now to the words of one of the survivors. designed to make them easy it was from five e am till noon. the boat started to sink andnd e wawater was getting into thehe . others f fell into the water people were traumatized. i'm looking for more on that story for you. iran is condemning the illegal intercrception. as theyy put i it of onene of il tankerers in gibraltar breath rt said they suspected it was carrying crude to syria in violation of the u. sanctions. tanker was stopped in the early hours of thursday by p police ad customs agencieies in gibraltar overseas british territoryry on thee tip of sudden. british royal marines.tachment f a rogue tanker on an unconventional route. this ship was stopped by

authorities as it passed gibraltar a british controlled outcrop on the southern tip of spain. shipping data shows that it had been loaded in iran. it was british marines who halted the ship suspecting that it was o on its way to syria. we have reason to believe that the grace one was carrying its shipments of crude oil to the ban ds refinery in syria. that refinery is the property of an entity that is subject to european union sanctions against syria. the european union has imposed sanctions on some three hundred sysyrian offfficials and entitis since. two thousand eleven the sanctions target by cheryl austin's regime for carrying out what you officials call violent repression againinst civilians. among the entities targeted our government owned oil facilities like the buying yes refinery. the sanctions have l left thehe governrnment controlled parts of syria short of fuel. your run has remained a key ally

of the asset regime and a source of oil. butt us sanctions on the islamic republic have further complicated the picture. this may explain why the tanker took the long route around africa and through the strait of gibraltar in an attempt to circle back to the middle east. this route avoidss the suez canl which is controlled by egypt a us ally. but the tankers unusual journey did not escape us attention spain's acting foreign minister said wednesday that he suspepecd the e s s. of pressuring britan to go after the ship. the e. u. has largely stayed neutral in the recent tensions between the us and iran. but this sudden move could mark a further spread of hostilities. now trying to emulate the bastille day parade him fronts us presisident donald trump brought. a has brought on already a wave of controversy with a highly militarized july the fourth independence day parade.

planned for washington wisdom kind. of loans to double a blow against him they're accusing trump of politicizing america's most important national holiday. wasting taxpayers money. it's a double whammy is never trump who never served in the military predictably rejects the criticism. is expected to top off the parade with a speech [inaudible] patriotism. well let's bring in for the crown our correspondents who is- keep an eye on what develops the widest force as ever of course and all matters john philip joining us now. i can't help but notice to let that it's not exactly. a parade whether is it raining on trump's parade that the question. what a good -- very soon in fac- that's been -- quite the downpour here in washington dc here on the national mall and there are in fact thunderstorms also -- that might happen later on tonight exactly at the moment when the president is expected to give his speech here at six thirty in the evening local time that's also the time when we are

expecting. this military parade to happen here on the national mall now you heard a lot about those tanks that rob for tanks yes standing around the lincoln memorial now they wouldd be moving this is not going to be. a military parade that looks anything like a steel they for example in paris or any others you might have seen there is not going to be any movement on the ground. the military parade that you're going to see will be in the skies if indeed this guy's on the weather allow for that to happen if they do they will be fighter jets. over on the national mall apples one as well marine. one among the planes that are expected to fly over the national mall meanwhile local just b before or after the presidenent speaks here right in front of the lincoln memorial now people have started arriving here and there -- essentially two categories of people here because you just mention of that b. i. peas and republican donors members of the republican party and members of the family of donald trump get to stand or si. as close as possible to the

president after that behind that a long way away and fax from where the president will be will be all those all the donald trump supporters and there are many. that have come to the u. s. capitol to come to see this -- this events that the president has put on a very different event to what p people are usedo seeing on independence day here in the u. s. capitol. indeed it is tipping down would you offer that we can see the writing you doing sterling work for us as ever and i know it's a difficult difficult working in these conditions but you keeping a smile and that's great. i got another question for you sir you mentioned at the invitations on this is something is causing controversy is that because i still they hear france is about including people in getting people around the president in. and around the french traditions it strikes most people the what we see happening now. that i'm i'm what we will see how we've got behind you that washington is something that is exclusive something that doesn't include people it's all about trump and his people. a campaign event in in in a sense.

find is really is this a white house event [inaudible] highly [inaudible] organized. it is a government offensive well organized by the trump administration but there is. closest to the and those who have closest to campaign. well they get those invitations to sit right up front that really makes a big difference hello world. we know exist in the united states we rarely see it here in the u. s. capitol because you are this is a solid road. almost 1100%. percent in fact for hillary clinton in the presidential election said this is not a place that is favorable to the president now what is managed to do though is to bring in his supporters from the neighboring states for example. all from further afield they haveve come down here to

washington at to see this salute to america as the president has called it but there is very much a divided washington on display as well. supporters trying to get as close as possible into the lincoln memorial and then there are protesters out on the national mall as well and there are plenty of them now that protesting against this militarization as they would sa. independence day and also the politicizing. of course we're not entirely clear how political the speech from the president's will be willing to find out when he gets there but knowing donald trump of course this is not going to be a 1100%. solemn speech there will be political angles to it and that is what people are afraid that this will turn into more of a campaign event. and events to commemorate the armed forces and america's independence day. the crowd in the rain in washington thank you very much indeed we're looking forward to more from you as they said if it gets under way in the coming hours i'll just say the mark of this reporter. my jones because it had to be years ago is how he performs in the rain. we saw that for the crowd before me perfectly as ever nothing distracts this man fantastic

stuff philip once again thank you very much indeed great. now let's cross of from the east coast to the west coast of the united states california's become the first state to ban workplace discrimimination agagt hairstylyles.. the law by the democratic senator holly mitchell of that of los angeles a black woman who as a hair locks. makes california the first state to explicitly say that those hairstyles associated with race i'm baffled protected against discrimination in the workplace and in schools. it's the first law of its kind. but for many it's long overdue. on wednesday california governor gavin newsom signed a bill making it illegal to discriminate on the basis of hair. the bill aims to push back against area types about what is seen as professional. what wee learnrned through going through the course of this bill is that you know physical traits are protected under the law and natural here the way my hair grows out of my head as a black woman? is a trade of race and soo thats

why we believe many of these lawsuits that have been filed up to the united states supreme court had ruled in favor of the employer because they've not had the law -- to really resesort to in terms of acknowledging personal traits a race based traits. the law follows a series of incidents in which african americans were denied jobs for wearing dreadlocks or braids. in one incident that went viral last december a high school wrestler new jersey was forced to cut his dreadlocks to take part in a match. at this los angeles hair salon stylist and clients alike are glad that the law passed. i have had other jobs where i feel like personally i had to change who i was for the job. and in the beginning -- it hurt because i wasn't i was always a person or will i might actually- california legislators hope that other states will follow suit. for now one city has made a step in that direction.

new york which issued guidelines in february aimed at protecting natural hairstyles. it remains to be seen w whether the trend will catch on between the coasts. well you'll have to wear it proudly regulations and well known to the state of california and you see that little which makes perfect sense to me. not a business cold spangler joins us starting with a major but in france that's not likely to make the world's biggest tech companies very happy. ha ha sorry mark france is on track to become the first country to pass what's known as the gas attacks that refers to google amazon and facebook and apple. known elsewhere simply as the digital tax on thursday the national assemblyy gave it the green light. to go to the senate next week where it's also expecteded to wiwin approval. the idea behind the bill is to clamp down on internet giants to register in europe and then pay little to no t taxes -- this yer france led a push to create a tax on the european level but it ran into resistance. meantime country has takaken matters into its own hands. version passed by the national

assembly would apply a 3% tax on the french revenues of major digital companies. we're gonna cover firms of global revenue more than seven hundred and fifty million euros and french revenue of more than twenty five million euros. tech company said the bill could lead to higher costs for consumers but proponents of the digital tax the firms have plenty of money to swallow some extra costs. now wall street is closed thursday for independence day in the u. s. but the major european indidices all finished the day around the flat line. is the cat kansei just about even. while the foot cmu k k. meanwhie lost nearly a tenth of a percent the dax gained about that same amount. investors also been flocking to government bonds his nomination of christina god to the european central bank that means prices are up in yields are down. the years onn ten year governmet bonds are but germany and france fafalling into negative territoy on thursday was a recorord lows. means investors are willing t to pay it rather than receive interest on bond purchaseses. sign o of confidence that thehe guard w will continue t the ecbs policy of ultra low interest

rates. but also a broader sign of uncertainty as investors seek safe assets. trade tensions are running high between japan and south korea. that's afterokyo applied limits on exports of high tecech materials to seoul. the dispute comes after a controversial decision from south korea's top court. ruled that a japanese firm must compensate greens for forced labor during the second world war. now me lloyd has more. taking a a turn for the worse trade relations between japan and south korea a written you blew. a monday tokyo announced it would be restricting exposed to south korea if three materials used in smartphone displays and chips. that kicked in on thursday a potentially major player to the country's only important tech industry. in response so says the move violates world trade organization rules and threatenn coununtermeasures. not only does japan's measure damaged economic relationship between our countries but it is also expected to grossly affect

the world trade order in corporations and third party countries that. dispute between the two neighbors comes off to south korean courts last year old japanese firms to compensate victims of slave labor duringg japan's colonial rule.. tokyo says it belelieves the matter was settled by in nineteen sixty five treaty. it denies the new restrictions are in retaliation. on the whichch you'll this is nt a countermeasure but a review of operations from the point of view of appropriately implementing export controls for national security reasons. while south korean tecech gianto likely to be hardest hit in the short term. analysts say japan may suffer in the long term as korean firms of folks to re think their reliance on japanese parts. and finally the world's biggest smartphone brand is under fire for allegedly false advertising. australia's consumer protection agency has filed a lawsuit against sam some saying it misled consumers by suggesting its galaxy phones were water

resistant. agency points to more than three hundred ad that show people using the phones in various maritime settings including under water. at the beach and at the pool. case could result in multi million dollar fines for samsung but the company says it standing by the ads mark. as a complied with australian lines going to defend itself in court. he looked misleading that's the bottom line co listening hey look it's late and get up. because i'm a business that thank you much and now the misleading this man never misli it'll. not like some. the name. change greeting how are you sir hi marc kerry to see another. for the july meeting watch of course. i'm lots of common tree on donald trump decision to have a basically a military parade which some is saying is is is a campaign stunt. well most of the common tree i've seen online from the liberal media is i'm not very pleased about just having failed to makake veteranss day at all about him the president not settles for independent state that says one comments in this piece. in the daily beast and just to

move quickly to social media where you're going to sing a lot of the same sort of tone -- from spiegel prepaid dot is want dictators to stephen king at the offer -- it has been points of course a power said has meant for prey to india it's melty paraded that they're not dictatorships and so you know the it is perhaps a it is very much points -- to of debates back midler not a fan of donald trump anon heard of one hundred fifteen degrees in paris this is a couple days ago one of our allies and mr trump is only interested in putting tanks on the mall. resolute himself on july the fourth i am so ashamed. at well. piers morgan replied not he is a font on front culture so right president trump's incentives tax to france immediately and fight the sun because she was talking to the heat wave in the heat wave in. where our priorities putting all these heavy is heavy machinery global warming bubba? our props present mccall could deploy all its own tanks that were paraded lost bastille day two zero bridge frfrom insane liberal celebrities you can see it just got everybody kind of on their stomp. one position of the

modem on that now right wing loud mouth as s it works for ice and heat. indeed no bret stephens all of the new york times he had an interesting -- piece here at robes piers america ropes records when the figures all the french revolution and let tell her that followed. and what he says in this piece is i'm writing this column on the eve of july the fourth but the country in describing each year seems to feel. each year seems to feel the spirit of seventeen seventy six less that's in the us and canad. and the spirit of seventeen eighty nine the french revolution more armed with the truth the jacobins could brand any individuals who dare to disagreement traders are fanatics. any distinction between their own political adverse res on the people's enemies was obliterated so that was that the period the following information what he's saying is their similarities. to america at today the fourth of july the day traditionally associated with the name of thomas jefferson nobody today denies his typically his by his pa hypocrisies roles bigotry's

misjudgments. i'm still gonna live in a country that that he helped make not the america that are left a real spares which design anyway it's quite an interesting piece and it's just -- and picking up on french revolution in the current context all fat and maybe a militarized independence day the intake now then let's move on reaction to the end of the gandhi dynasty. that's right. india's congress party rental gandhi taking responsibility for the defeat in the election as well that's right and of course as you have you had with the birds for three generations all. this is the grandson of the great mahatma gandhi is that's exactly as on the political dynasty and so he's decided to step aside after the congress party did very badly in recent. elections and in any case all you should kind of writing here in pakistan's -- pakistan's. expressed to express triribune andai he is what he is saying is suggestions been coming from all quarters the congress party must die for credible opposition to emerge. the congress needs to dump the dynasty which is kind looks like i'm kind of company others say that rebel gandhi's offer to resign is suicidal in short everyone is suggested. everything and there is no consensus on what the party can do to stem this slide meanwhile

at this is a piece in a in india today dealing with the old guard so. the congress party has this venerable old guard that's been there for years and years and years and years a lot of people say that i will county really needed to kind of spam to have renewal within the party he didn't do that. i narinder movie actually did dash in his in his big bjp ruling party and this is kind of controversial piece in the county actually should. be it should have been somewhat more inspired by the pragmatism all of rent a movie just one more piece on this ad this is in the washington post. at one of the their indian staff writers. i basically think the gandhi family doesn't seem serious but actually giving up control of the party -- there's and what this piece as as the other party needs is a mutually in order to survive and it is very hard to see people who usedd about givig up power and we'll see how that one develops. okay finally a front cover of the famous french magazine patty match causing a stir the features of former president. and his wife tell us more she's a former supermodel famously very tall lady and tore the

husbands and is a husband famously small when he's not he's famously not told. let's put it that way -- in any case he did also sort of you know what when he was president you know have high heels and stools and one is a stack of stuff that's it so in any case. it did it did the fact that he performed in our in this from cover it led to people accusing the the magazine of of what's worked for shopping.. and they didn't photoshop they said no there were lots of steps during the photo shoot in their house and it just so happens that he happened to be standing on a step. and so people were picking up i'm not i'm joking about it saying lots of steps in the circle is the bernie household. others correcting the optics there mark andnd and and returng it to probably something more reflective of the truth. i'm just always being down right mean i thank and a this is an interesting points. i've never seen a movie poster print. of any kind of opera or any kind of promotional visual where a woman is taller than a man standing side by side so a lot of it is maybe you know. to buck that trend is very unusual such a visual most scared patriarchy

is another example from recent times remember last year this kind of a controversy was an old stamp. to commemorate das royal wedding in endicott took off on people were saying hold on a minute that wasn't actually the height difference between them at all i remember that at the time that the second two controls about that they were almost the same place. okay james five foot ten leave at that thank you. jane street in the company of a six four thanks for the business goals and i'm glad i'm not five or six i could care less. thank you for joining
