japan is set to impose new sanctions on iran following similar moves by the united states and the european union. iran has failed to comply with international demands to halt its nuclear development program. last month the u.n. security council adopted a resolution imposing additional sanctions on the country. the measures include a partial ban on financial transactions. the united states followed up by announcing its own sanctions earlier this month, including a ban on the export of petroleum products. the eu decided this week to ban new investment in iran's energy sector. japan, which imports crude oil from iran, had been wary of imposing its own punishments. but the government apparently felt the need to show solidarity with the u.s. and eu following the latest u.n. resolution. japan's new sanctions will likely include tighter monitoring of financial transactions with iran and targeting more businesses for an asset freeze. a draft of the new penalties is expected by the end of next month. >>> the united states says its ambassador to japan, john roos, will attend a ceremony marking the 1945 at

the ship in egypt for the israelis it's a victory they say the fact that the united states and european union convinced the ship to change its course legitimizes their position but at of us disagree they say the libyan effort puts the story of gaza back in the headlines her must accuses israel of piracy and insists its refusal to allow aid ships to reach gaza is in breach of international law. the congress who traveled in still travel must continue because we're now free salut battle to break the blockade imposed in advance or this battle is related to the land of palestine and jerusalem and to the book eight of jerusalem as well but the jury's still out on whether the restrictions israel has in place are legal or not you can apply. american blockade if there is a quote flicked. and according to various judges of the supreme court officer it is a conflict that we have with us and you can apply to any shore which is either occupied or and the control of the other party last month is one announced it was easing its blockade on gaza but underground tunnels are still how most goods find their way

are paying for most of this could the european union or let's get to that but i want to ask dan dan is good in light of what robert fisk just had to say is that in america's best interest to have such a close relationship with israel because the whole perception whatever the arab street people want to define these days doesn't see the united states is a fair broker dollars the same side is israel in its pure and simple. right is pure and simple in fact the arab world saw. saw barack obama in the united states as a very fair broker back in march two thousand and nine when mr obama gave an unprecedented speech in cairo which i'm sure my colleague mr fyshe represent remembers well and in which the largest gap between the israeli public and any u.s. president was created when mr obama called for the sation of israeli building on disputed land i'm sure anybody who's taken a basic course in middle east understands that israel doesn't colonize arab land but in fact the land is disputed according to the very international law that the united kingdom was involved in drafting in november
