in lancaster existing into a very straight question you know there was suspicion we managed to get over the suspicion of people now taking the vaccines but this is a question more about strategy to you it seems to me that the strategy is ring vaccinations that is you vaccinate the 1st person that came into contact with the boa and then vaccinate everybody who is has come into contact with that person one of just vaccinate everybody. that would be what we call a mass vaccination program and it would require far more horses a vaccine then we recurrently have we've given a $160000.00 is over the last 15 months or saw and on average there's about a 100 individuals that are identified as candidates for vaccination from from each case so it's usually about 10 contacts and then. 10 more contacts with each of those contacts but one thing that the public health emergency of international concern declaration might do is that might stimulate governments of rich countries to put money into subsidising vaccine production because if we are going to move from rain vaccination then hundreds of thousand

let's bring in analysts simon nabhan a lecturer in international relations at the university of lancaster in britain thanks so much for coming in for us attentions of already been very high and high in the call for how much of an escalation is this incident. i think it's quite a seismic us collation to be honest we've heard a lot of words with rhetoric we've heard cycles of tit for tat diplomatic rhetoric from both sides. calling on the you know the calling out the other i should say for these actions but this is it seems to be at least at the next that taking this to the next level actually putting these words into action and i think what we've got to do is contextualize it further and say that look this isn't just a product of over recent tensions between the u.k. and iran but this goes back decades the iranian regime is always viewed britain with a great deal of hostility dating back to the 1953 could a tide that toppled that they've got a democratically elected president a prime minister straight mohammad mosaddegh so there's a great deal of tension here deep structural tensions betwe

and earlier 2 i spoke to a mideast analyst a simon maven at the university of lancaster in the u.k. and i began by asking him about how significant the tit for tat succession of incidents really is it can be read in a number of different ways it can be seen as just a small step a step from rhetoric to action or it can be seen as a quite significant change in pace moving away from words to actually putting these words into action and i think a lot of this depends on what iran does next whether it leaves this is a worn off incident or whether it decides that it wants to do more and really take a stand against the u.k. against the u.s. and other international act so for now i think it's just a small step is just moving from woods to one act but if it comes into more action if it does more of this then i think it's quite a seismic change in pace or the police and her brother says that they have arrest that the captain and the chief officer of the detained iranian a super tanker at the same time a british security source says we're not going to accompany every frigate that is in the stra

speaking earlier for some analysis now i'm joined by simon maybe he's a middle east analyst from lancaster university in england it's good to see you again so we've heard what the u.s. vice president is saying but can you tell us because we're not hearing it from the white house what is the u.s. strategy here is there an end game with iran. i think it depends who you us quits member of the us ministration that you us canucks fundamentally the problem is if you talk to someone like the president always key advises such as john bolton then you got a very different and game $2.00 to $2.00 of the voices we know that trump and bolton have both been incredibly different towards iran we know that their end game is to suffocate the the islamic republic to put as much pressure on on the iranian state as possible but we're hearing a range of different and in many ways in cone grew and less just coming out of the u.s. administration from the different branches of it that that of top slightly more hopeful that the europeans can exit a bit more influence and bring the rand back to the negotiating table

this story with simon mabon he's a lecturer of international relations at britain's university in lancaster sir this is the latest in a succession of incidents now we're seeing a lot of tit for tat just how big of a deal is this. i think it can be read in a number of different ways it can be seen as just a small step a step from rhetoric to action or it can be seen as a quite significant change in pace moving away from words to actually putting these words into action and i think a lot of this depends on what iran does next whether it leaves this is a worn off incident or whether it decides that it wants to do more and really take a stand against the u.k. against the u.s. and other international activists so for now i think it's just a small step is just moving from woods to one act but if it comes into more action if it does more of this then i think it's quite a seismic change in pace now in the latest development just before we came on air the police and her brother says that they have arrest that the captain and the chief officer of the detained iranian a supertanker at the same time a

saying it violated maritime mauls will simon mabon is a senior lecturer in international studies at lancaster university he says putting u.s. tensions aside the u.k. has its own complicated history with iran. the idea that u.k.'s waning power doing the bidding of the united states is one that is routinely routinely thrown a london and to an extent i can understand why it is but i think recently what we've seen is that the british tensions with iran independent of the united states really really escalated following the seizure of the tankers that your package earlier was talking about and that draws on longstanding tensions between the u.k. and iran that are that are independent of the united states dating back to the time of persia or an oil in persia so there's a complex there's a complexity to all of this historical complexity and a more contemporary complexity independent of the united states meanwhile around foreign minister has been speaking that's missing of the nonaligned movement in caracas he accused the u.s. governments of using sanctions to undermine many countries including iran b

set speaks more about this not to simon mabon who's a senior lecturer in international studies at lancaster university he's via skype thank you so much for being with us these tensions with iran instead of having them at a worse time for the u.k. when in the mid seventies their ship contest or a pace or a some a what measures you expect friend to take what are they options right now. i would imagine right now into where we're sure who the next prime minister of the united kingdom is going to be will see it come soon did and some a conservative response but the u.k. right now is undergoing a range of different pressures from from brics it to this this leadership election and the iran crisis is is really it's come at the worst possible time for the new leader of the country it's also got because not in the in the right there who is in iran right now and there's an effort to try and release has so so there's a real sort of cult plex issues now moving forward the u.k. is cold essentially between working with the european powers to try and get this diplomatic solution to the nuclear crisis got o

not speak to simon maybe and he's the director of the richardson institute for peace studies in lancaster university is joining us from there now so obviously simon maybe on the strait of hormuz is very important and very significant this particular incident that developed earlier today or the alleged incident just another flashpoint in a series of maritime episodes that involve iran but 1st tell us what do you make of the sort of conflicting and competing narratives coming out of iran and the united kingdom. i don't think it's particularly surprising that we're seeing competing narratives we're hearing different tales about what happened from london and from tehran after all what we what we would expect to see is both sides trying to frame a vent to present their own status as being the innocent party as being innocent as being the ones in the right so so i think it's not particularly surprising that there would be 2 different types of stories but if we look at what what has happened in the in the long long history of the strait of hormuz particularly in recent decades we know that there

he is sitting gci’oss lancaster chancellor.l of those departments, making sure that everybody is ready. and he is very clear in this article today. saying firstly that there is no point trying to get anything that looks much like theresa may's agreement through parliament, because it willjust get rejected, saying that you can'tjust reheat a dish that has been sent back and expect it will be more palatable. but also saying that actually if the eu stick to their guns and say they won't renegotiate, the government needs to work on that basis and assumed that no deal is the most likely outcome. saying then that planning for no deal is the number one priority of the government, and making clear that no matter what happens, if those negotiations don't go the way that is hoped, and of course they would prefer to leave with a deal if the eu will budge, then, no ifs or buts, no more delays, is happening. it is one thing for the government to agree on that but it is another getting it passed the house of commons, isn't it? yes, and there
