ok we've got comms back with our correspondent andrew simmons there just off the coast of japan and to do you think if the ship sails when the ship sails does that kind of take the heat out of this tense relationship with iran and i guess as well over ships and ships that are flagged under different nationalities in different countries around the world. it won't take the heat off not at all and thoughts gibraltar's concern of the u.k. may be but once she's in international waters the u.s. seem determined to pursue this issue based on the fact that they regard the iranian revolutionary guards as terrorists and anyone associated with them putting the 2100000 barrels of oil on board this ship they want to pursue this because they say this is illegal they will pursue it as far as they can it would seem it's a political judgment as to how much they put the heat up in terms of action but technically gibraltar is still sort of considering the approach but it has to go through the attorney general's office go back to the supremes court the iranians need to get out of here as quickly as possibl

warrant for its detention iran says the tanker is now expected to leave in the next few centuries simmons' with more now from gibraltar. now you have a confirmation from the authorities here in that the be an extension of a detention order or not so much of the extension a re re in it position of the of the detention order the court action in the united states has no application here that's really the nub of it the explanation given by the central authority here in gibraltar is this that the legal system here does not apply because the us action is based on u.s. sanctions the action taken by gibraltar in the u.k. was inforced under e.u. sanctions and as far as that issue goes there is compliance now because there was an assurance that this cargo on board 2100000 barrels of like crude oil is not destined for syria so the explanation here is and forgive me if you're losing me it's pretty choppy out here the action taken before by the supreme court can't happen again so nothing short of the u.s. actually boarding this ship in international waters when it goes will will stop this process of t

taking oil to syria and iran has denied those allegations calling the detention an act of piracy under simmons has moved to. the grace warner and co off gibraltar its panamanian registration changed yet the iranian flag still not in place it's thursday the start of the 43rd and final day of its detention but a major legal twist on shore in the gibraltar supreme court had a judge seeming somewhat baffled and the crew on board wondering if they'd ever get away the attorney general's legal team and apply.

but as andrew simmons reports it still long clear where the tanker is heading. yes. and lifted and underway at last in the darkness heading east into the mediterranean . a few hours before the departure supplies had been loaded on the adrian daria warm in the choppy waters a specialist engineer had been winched up along with at least 5 new crew members the engineer was brought on board to attend to a technical issue planning to return to shore later nightfall on the swell of the sea is getting worse yet the technician has yet to return to the supertanker the ai asked systems that automatic identification systems are now showing the adrian real war they to the technician had finished his work and returned to shore but who will end up with $140000000.00 worth of crude oil this is obviously going to be one of those tracks vessels either the next few days and therefore we have a very clear idea of where it goes and we have a very clear idea of any vessels that come alongside in order to try and ship the cargo. last thursday gibraltar the supremes course lifted the detent

ship it is that maritime law was totally legal it is permitted to sail thank you very much under simmons' with the latest from the waters there. iran says a plan by the united states in turkey meanwhile to create a so-called safe zone along syria's northern border is provocative and worrisome u.s. and turkish officials agree to establish the zone last week as a way to manage tension between turkish forces and kurdish fighters but the move has also been rejected by the syrian government who called it a blatant attack on the country's sovereignty. i have for you on the program slum fire devastation in dhaka thousands of people left homeless in bangladesh capital and a leaked government report predicts brecht sick chaos if the u.k. leaves interview in october without a deal. hello there still plenty of sunshine throughout much of the mediterranean but still we have got some bright sunny of spots as well further to the north across more eastern sections of europe plenty of clouds plenty of rain there stand in the forecast and still on the way however in between not to cloud in the rain some

that deals done by leaders in high places have let the people of syria down so many times hundreds simmons' al-jazeera nursultan kazakstan. concerns remain about how long this ceasefire will last a honda has more from tab on the turkish side of the border with syria the guns have fallen silent but what happens next is not clear this is a very ambiguous ceasefire according to the syrian government is that it is conditional on the implementation of the sochi deal now the opposition saying that we won't withdraw our heavy weapons unless we have guarantees from turkey and russia and you have high authority to share which is the main opposition group but the strongest group in saying that we reserve the right to retaliate if the truce is violated without without even mentioning whether or not it plans to implement that such a memorandum h.t.s. was the group that refused to withdraw from a demilitarized zone making it very very difficult for turkey to create this cell and in fact this is why russia kept on criticizing turkey saying you're not fulfilling your commitments under the sochi deal will

we will commit on our and there will not be any need to talk about heavy weapons in the area under simmons has the latest from. on the face of it there does seem to be a will for a ceasefire although there are many questions about how long it could last all parties say they intend to move forward with the agreement but there are technicalities which could cripple it very quickly one of them is whether or not all guns all removed from a 20 kilometer which was agreed in the socially agreement back in september 28th seen this just in from the opposition spokesperson ayman samy he says right now there is no trust right now there are no heavy weapons will be withdrawn again unless there's a signed agreement by russia and the turkish sides then we can talk more about withdrawing our weapons now that was a precondition from the syrian regime in actually agreeing to the cease fire in the 1st place so that's one problem and i asked the russian special envoy what he felt about this cease fire. will hope that it will last for a long time but the toll depends now you should understand on those radical

territory were expected to order the vessel's release but their decision has been delayed andrew simmons has the latest from gibraltar. it lasted no more than around 10 minutes this court hearing and the attorney general's lawyer looked particularly ruffled because he had effectively 2 requests to make war on the request to actually release this tanker allow it to go in a direction of law in the mediterranean we don't know where precisely at this stage because we never got the details on the other hand he also informed the judge that he'd heard from the department of justice a number of contacts made on wednesday night in the in the early hours of thursday morning 0136 to be precise he said that he wants to proceed with both of those requests it was rather rather confusing to say the least the judge also seemed a bit bemused by it all and said really that the the u.s. application hadn't actually formally been made and he would want to consider the original application which the gibraltar gibraltarian attorney general wanted to make so what happened in the end was an agreement for an adjo
