Irans corner on this one and yet you have the sort of closer relationship between trump and putin where particularly President Trump wants to try to say hey we want to have a Good Relationship with russia here. Well the problem is that the obviously mr trump is under tremendous pressure at no time in history did we have such a situation that all the meetings between putin and drawn. Between the american president and the russian leader would be just sabotaged by the American Press by the European Press please notice all this your thick statements about you know putin given trump a food bowl you know so go for blow with k. G. B. Barbs in the end all of this nonsense will remember it and were on the stand that trump is on the pressure but certainly certainly the stand of something prevents the war its not going to be the cause relationship between trumpets and i think it will be pressure from the International Public opinion including russia and certainly russia will you know we have a ways to oppose it because there are Russian Forces in syria right next to their area over this conflict iran has a contingent in syria also so they start this scene is very different from what it was in 2010 when mr obama threatened to bomb iran in fact and then the situation was ready dangerous to meet your beverage pleasure talking to you thank you for joining us. Funny were going to wrap all this together with my own bashar around a senior political analyst in london hi my one lets go big picture with you the u. S. As we said we talked with mohamed vall sending more resources to the gulf absolutely adamant that its iran iran pushing back to russia or in the background where are we going with all of this. Well clearly in terms of the United States we have a classic situation of what you would call gunboat diplomacy. Aircraft carriers and other Marine Forces sort of. You know hanging out in the gulf and intimidating the iranians and others and thats sort of the message being clear to the horizon is you better behave or else i think the iranians it seems. Are not saying to the american gunboat diplomacy and might have actually been taken on now a new a symmetrical warfare against the United States perhaps a sort of low intensity warfare whereby if the american if the iranian oil shipping if that in oil exports if their economy is going to be crippled then iran is going to have to do something about it and hence now we have something that the resembles gunboat diplomacy against. Boat diplomacy or as you said earlier sub. Boat diplomacy on the part of the iranians. I think that the United States possibly underestimates the support that it can maybe not the support that iran might have but maybe the reluctance for everyone to jump onboard with what the United States and United States will always say its iran causing the problem but already were seeing the likes of of germany coming out and saying no no no lets hold back on this one. This is one of those rare situations where i actually would distinguish between 3 levels i would say there is america the United States there is washington and there is President Trump i think in much of this will what were seeing is a sort of haphazard lack of strategy vision Foreign Policy on the part of the american president s visit the iran probably not judged by Prime Minister netanyahu 2 years ago whereby in order to defy everything that former president obama did present from basically decided to take on iran now it was against the advice of all his european allies against the advice of russia china against the advice of many including iraq and others even within the middle east and so the United States now finds itself more or less alone in the world meaning there are a good number of countries that will follow in the footsteps of the United States or of president obama a present from sorry because of intimidation because of carrots and sticks so while many now are. Responding positively to the sanctions its just because they dont want to feel the wrath of american sanctions but in terms of the conflict with iran as you just stated certainly from the Shanghai Cooperation Organization weve heard president xi of china and weve heard president putin of russia basically supporting the iranian position on the nuclear deal and against the american position on that question and bashar is our senior political analyst in luck to pick a moment. Here is what is coming up for you on this news hour are the hong kong protests paying off there are signs legislators may drop their plans to allow extraditions to china also the crisis in darfur Takes Center Stage at the United Nations after more than a dozen people were killed and at least 100. 00 homes burned and sport justin rose sets the early pace of the u. S. Open and he is here with the latest in both 3rd major tournament of the. Right now the palestinians continuing their weekly friday protests at the gaza border with israel it comes as palestinians say israel has not kept promises made in the cease fire and may it was on a surge of violence kill 25 palestinians and 4 israelis protesters want the siege of gaza lifted and the right to return to palestinian lands illegally occupied by israel lets check in with gary for sit in gaza now gary is this a return to the the biggest scale sorts of protests do you think. Not by the certain signs of things so far today this friday no especially after what weve seen over the last couple of days there was a large volume of incendiary devices being sent across the fence into israeli territory on wednesday that elicited a total shut down of fishing waters and that was followed by 2 nights where rocket fire and israeli airstrikes were exchanged so there was some concern or some prediction at least that this might be a return to a larger scale protest as as you say there are concerns as far as hamas is concerned and others in gaza that israel is not making good on what are reported to have been the undertakings it made during the at the end of the last round of violence in early may but it does seem for now this protest is being very much kept under control. As have other ones since that agreement which was reported to take place at the beginning of the last month weve seen how us plane closed staff offices trying to keep people away from the fence itself weve seen people carrying tires to burn being turned back we did see one fairly large scale fire burning across the fence in israel likely to have been started by some kind of airborne incendiary device but weve seen none of the kind of mass balloon launches and other kites being launched that wed see at a big protest here and the injury numbers on the palestinian side seem to be pretty low as well relatively speaking 5 confirmed by the Gaza Health Ministry to have been shot by live fire we saw a 6th about 15 minutes ago about a 100 meters away from here we heard a gunshot and then some was taken away on a stretcher so relatively speaking the numbers remain pretty low herefore so with a live update from the gaza border thank you. The u. N. Security council is holding a meeting on its peacekeeping force in darfur the uns confirmed the killing of 17 people in the burning of more than 100 houses in the darfur region earlier this week and the u. K. Says the United NationsAfrican Union mission in darfur unit must stay in the region it is removing them would violate existing agreements as well as u. N. Rules more on this with mike hanna at the u. N. Tell us more about this Security Council meeting mike. Well its to discuss the mission to doff and particularly to start laying the way for the decision on whether to renew the mandate of that mission which will be taken towards the end of the month and also under what terms this mandate will be renewed not looming all over all of this is of course the situation in sudan and the taking over of power there of the Transitional Military Council now the issue in dark further that weve heard referred to in the course of the morning in the Security Council obviously you made reference to that violence some 40 people have been killed in the past month again alone some 180 have been injured so this is a major issue another major issue too is that instruction by the Transitional Military Council for you know the u. N. Mission to hand over its bases to the rep that support forces now these are forces deployed by sudan who are operating within dar fur and the concern among u. N. Members is the fact that they are. Responsible for part of the ongoing conflict within dark for itself this is what the british deputy ambassador had to say united team sites must not be handed over to the i. R. S. Or doing so would not only be in violation of existing agreements on the 100 of these sites as well as u. N. Principles financial rules and regulations but it would also be grossly negligent we would risk enabling violence against civilians and its interesting mike were talking about darfur so specifically again because it is such a huge part of of sudan and the humanitarian crisis there but as you pointed out the Current Events in sudan the political turmoil take us through a little bit more about how that impacts what the Security Council and what the u. N. Does from here on in. Well it does impact very much indeed because obviously with the vacuum of power to an extent in the capital khartoum that impacts directly on the uns mission in darfur itself the rep that support forces that i referred to for example these are precisely the same forces that have been pushing down dissent within khartoum itself they are essentially ensemble to the Intelligence Services although under the operation of the military so they are directly concerned controlled by the Transitional Military Council so obviously what happens in the capital has a massive impact on what happens in darfur now this comes at a time when this talk of winding down that mission in darfur or at least drawing it down now that has already started over the past year the number of troops stationed there has been reduced 6000 at the beginning of the year now its down to 4000 so youve got some Council Members arguing very strongly that the mission has got to remain that when time comes up to renew the mandate they should be what they call a technical rollover in other words just leave things as they are because of the confusion thats happening in khartoum some members of the council though in particular russian him are giving very strongly that there has got to be further discussion about the cost of this mission about whether or not it is having any political effect which it is its original intention to create a new political process so theres going to be discussion in coming days remembering as i said before that the mandate the decision on the whether to renew that mandate has to be taken by the end of the month not some of the council one that just to go on as it has been before that technical rollover other members of the council want to discuss more thoroughly the worth of this mission and in particular the cost of this mission as against the lack of process in any form of Political Development might have at the u. N. Thank you. The International Court of justice has rejected a request by the United Arab Emirates to grant an injunction over discrimination case taken by cutter the state of qatar has made a number of claims to the courts in the netherlands after the u. A. E. And several other arab countries imposed a land sea and air blockade is hearing part of a wider legal battle being heard by judges in the hague. Has the details now for us. With the results here the International Court of justice the Uns Highest Court the court has rejected an application for an emergency injunction known as provisional measures by the u. A. E. On the grounds that qatar was in some way prejudicing a much wider case between the 2 countries now that this application for this injunction is being rejected the focus goes back to that wide a case a case thats focused on whether or not the u. A. E. Has violated an all Important International convention the convention on the elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination during the countrys blockade of qatar now in its 2nd year we are actually extremely pleased of the judgment coming from the court today it recognizes that the true victims of this Racial Discrimination case are the to the people and not the government of the u. A. E. According to legal experts it could take many months if not years before we get a result in the full case but in the meantime last summer the i. C. J. Ruled that the usa had indeed been responsible for Racial Discrimination against ataris in the blockade and ordered that the u. A. E. Ally our qatari nationals separated during the blockade to be reunited and the students be allowed to continue their studies without risk of deportation and those categories that need it access to courts and tribunals that was an obligatory order by the court or last month the u. A. E. Hit back saying that castle was deliberately trying to make it look as if the u. A. E. Wasnt following the courts orders and asked for an emergency injunction of their own on a number of different grounds including the belief that cattle herd deliberately and purposefully blocked access to a u. A visa site that would allow Country Nationals to apply for visas and travel potentially back to the us a thats an accusation that the qataris deny saying that the reason why they brought the site was that it posed a Cyber Security risk a risk of mile where it was a number of the claims made by the u. A. E. Claims. That have now been rejected by the i. C. J. The reason is whether or not the claims have any validity to them is there really any risk of irreparable harm that justifies emergency measure versus putting off these considerations for the for the later case for the big case in the u. A. E. Have hired some of the best legal teams in the world but recently the u. A. E. Fired its entire team and hired a new one this has been the 1st test of that teams capabilities at the heart of this although its a bitter political dispute a belief from katsav that its citizens have been prejudiced against the case continues in the news ahead chased from their homes with machetes and guns why more than 100000 people have been displaced in democratic republic of congo in the last week about an unspoken well hear from the players have been taking on their own employees as well as the worlds best football team.

The latest news as it breaks local communities here employee are very frustrated because the. Post Storm Services with detailed coverage this past month of the bag so people who talk to me say this struggling to make translates and just want a better life from around the world and obviously has been offered to those who rebel against the government of any except those involved in human rights abuses a war crimes. During the news on here at aljazeera these are all top stories the u. S.

S. Alarming also says its in charge of security in the strait of hormuz and its ships are among the 1st to rescue the crew from the damaged tank its. The World Health Organization is holding an emergency meeting in geneva to discuss whether to declare the latest outbreak of the ebola virus as a Global Health emergency measure and a home now with a look at why the world body has so far failed to stop the spread. The 1st cases in this current outbreak of ebola were reported last august that was in the democratic republic of congo since then the World Health Organization has confirmed more than 2000 victims and of those at least 1400 people have died thats a 67 percent fatality rate doctors have usually managed to keep it at around 50 percent and stopped it spreading but this is the 1st time a bola has struck in a conflict zone the virus causes internal bleeding and while its yet to be proven its thought fruit that so the carrier of the virus scientists are trying to work out how it jumps to humans but what is known as how to contain a bola by quickly and safely burying victims quarantine anyone whos been near those infected and vaccinating people. In the early days of the south break the w. H. O. Was confident it could contain the virus and resisted calls to to clear a Global Health emergency the w. H. O. Trained hundreds of Health Workers equipped to them with a containment strategy and a new albeit experimental vaccine called v 920 the vaccine needed 10 days to kick in and doses were limited but there was enough to go around if the virus was contained but it never has been in the d. F. C. And a climate of ethnic tension regional conflict misinformation spread that the a ball emergency had been manufactured that the virus didnt even exist in some areas people believed the virus was being used by one if knit group to wipe out another and others resented the mess of resources put into containing a bowler when their basic needs were being neglected nearly 200. 00 a bowler clinics have been attacked this year alone at least 85 Health Workers were injured or killed with every act of violence the a bowler. Has been interrupted and the virus has spread. The arrival of the bowl in uganda realized the worst fears of those dedicated to wiping it out but what is different in uganda is that the governments been preparing itself some months vaccinating more than 4 and a half 1000 Health Workers sitting up a bola treatment same tis and as the 1st ugandan victims died bending mess gatherings and sending in a record response to the lessons from dia says struggle may enable uganda to stop a bullet taking hold but the challenge remains finding a way to stop that sprayed anywhere else you know were going to get more on this with. Ugandas capital kampala harder uganda sending back one of its 1st patients back today yasi and has subsequently died this must huge questions about whether people should be sent back. To Health Officials gave a press conference about an hour ago and they insist the country is here they are capable of and painting the outbreak because they really know why but the family people of people in the family with in fact its because right now the key is taking out a new drug uganda is not it was felt that the family of 5 should go back to get the help in those forced me because one boy died before he could get that treatment he also gave for the update with it as a further they had 3 people in uganda who were it isolation 2 of them have tested negative on friday only one person is now an isolation to being carried out on that individual its really saving the 8 people came into contact with the family they came from to eat into uganda those people are being closely monitored fully 21 days to make sure they are not sick but they are straight think uganda is right now that they feel as a country they can control the outbreak and it needs people to remain vigilant because the ball. Its awful and people from it can come in and get it and think that i was right ok thank you for that update that is how to meet sansa income paula were going to carry on this conversation with studios my horse who is a geneticist at Northumbria University in england joining us from new counsel thank you for your time so i really basic broad brush question for you with your level of expertise and that is how would you stop the spread when youre dealing with c. And uganda but also potentially further whats the whats the baseline whats the 1st thing that has to be done to to try to stop the spread. I think we need to listen straightaway that theres not one thing one solution that will cure the problem we have a lot of the necessary infrastructure in place we have the medications we have the boxings we have the Trained Health care workers we have the marks in 8 of Health Care Workers but we dont have unfortunately its trust or understanding so the big problem here is trying to get the individuals who are risk the locals in uganda and the d r c to engage with the Health Care Providers to engage with the government the Central Government which will functionally many of them do not trust so that they can understand what theyre facing how to protect themselves how to respect the local customs but also in show the disease. Tell me more about the only one clear cut off or way of doing this ok tell me more about this trust issue then yes i know im possibly being very simplistic here but if i was there in the country and there were Health Professionals telling me you need to do this because this is a really serious problem you would hope there would be that sort of trust why isnt there. So to clarify im not known for apologist i dont know the local history of politics. As well as somebody who would study c. And uganda but what i do understand then what i see similarities with in the west africa now break is a lot of trust to the Central Government to the hobbes vs the have nots so for example in west africa we have a region effectively separated not in control by Central Government parts of the jungle that you could you just couldnt go into you didnt venture into that but for the disease was spreading at its peak here we have a situation where we path local militias we have separated groups who have been left by Central Government who belong to different ethnic groups and similarly they do not trust the Central Government in sierra leone for example we have a long civil war and a long history of that how broad the distrust here we have similar kind of problems with civil war influencing the lack of trust by really tired on to vand the unfortunate mix of misinformation you just need to search for a mole on twitter which is a western media with many things and the kind of information you come across is i want to say the least. I want to be celebrating here are trying to ensure a very brittle fire sent to wipe out the population here this is what im reading here people thinking that you know this is youre talking about mistrust of Central Governments and maybe you can understand that mistrust of Health Workers a belief that they were actually bringing it into the region. Yes yes thats right so many times in the last few months with statements from the locals where they say for example a bowler never used to exist here a bowler turns up after the Health Care Workers turn up its its like saying that the fire happens after the smoke shows. Usually the way around and i dont know of a single case where you get a spoke 1st without any kind of fire but its not like of understanding of how the disease turns up on what causes the disease thats leading to this misinformation another. From a scientific perspective is that there is a strong likelihood that theres been small outbreaks in the region that just go unnoticed a few 100 of people get infected the pass away they get buried or the small villages affected briefly the shunned and we do not get transmission and because weve got lots of the virus this thing sort of smuggling away in the background right now what weve seen now is a larger distribution of the disease which is now moving around the region is and. The reason we got into a bowl and got into uganda is because people were not trusting the Health Care Workers in the d r c other just crossed over the border foleo sort help and find fully the Health Care Workers in uganda noticed the symptoms and said ok theres a risk culture studio most fascinating talking to you thank you so much for your time. Meanwhile there is renewed fighting between ethnic militia in democratic republic of congo which has killed at least 70 people well 100000 have been forced from their homes in the Eastern Province of eternity over just the past week the United Nations has deployed its troops to 3 temporary military bases in the area Regina Mohammad has the story.

Culligan from joe harbor and im come on santa maria this is the world news from aljazeera. The United States has stepped over all the norms and regulations of the International Community irans president hits out the u. S. Denouncing its aggressive stance as a threat to global stability. Also signs that a bill that would allow its traditions from hong kong to china may be losing Political Support after days of protests i am basketball fans witnessing a big 1st for their country the Toronto Raptors have won the n. B. A. Champs. So accusations and counter claims are flying over the explosions aboard to oil tankers in the gulf of oman donald trump says the u. S. Has exposed to iranian involvement iran is calling those claims sabotage diplomacy. Meanwhile germany says the video is not enough to approve to prove iran was to blame and russia is urging everyone not to jump to conclusions this report from stephanie decca. What happened to the 2 tankers in the gulf of oman well it depends on who you ask. In iranian t. V. Video shows the norwegian own tanker altair on fire. And u. S. Central command released this footage early on friday came in it shows Iranian Revolutionary guards removing an unexploded limpet mine from the japanese own courageous the timestamp according to the americans shows it happened after the vessels crew had been rescued nothing is clear but the message from the Us Administration is iran was behind it it is the assessment of the United States government that the Islamic Republic of iran is responsible for the attacks that occurred in the gulf of oman today. This is sesame this based on intelligence the weapons used the level of expertise needed to execute the operation recent similar raining attacks on shipping and the fact that no proxy Group Operating in the area has the resources and proficiency to act with such a high degree of sophistication. In tokyo the breakdown from the japanese who owned the kuka courageous seems to shed some doubt on the american version of events the Company Official shows where what he calls a shot hit the tanker in 2 areas the head of the company gave more detail the holes and more than were going to the crew is saying that it was hit by flying object theyre saying that something came to light to put a bomb on the side of the boat is something we are not considering iran has dismissed the u. S. Accusations that it was behind the alleged attacks calling the incidence especially as its foreign minister accusing the americans of trying to sabotage diplomacy as the incident happened when the japanese Prime MinisterShinzo Abbott was into han on an official visit both tankers were hit early on thursday morning after passing through the strait of hormuz all crew members were safely evacuated both tankers suffered damage around the waterline i mean the main thing to note is that theyre quite small warheads whatever they are so those are not enormous entry entry penetration marks they clearly havent. Had a huge amount of explosives behind them so yes it was Something Like. You would expect a lot more damage on the ship at the moment there are far more questions than answers but what is certain is that this is a provocative and Dangerous Development in an already tense geopolitical environment Stephanie Decker aljazeera well in the iranian president Hassan Rouhani says the u. S. Is pushing an aggressive stance that cannot be tolerated he was speaking at a meeting of asian leaders in kyrgyzstan. The government of the United States over the last 2 years is using economic and military capacity and is creating an aggressive approach the United States has stepped over all the norms and regulations of the International Community and has created new threats for the region and the world more from iran the entire. Unilateral u. S. Actions has caused this instability and renewed tension in this region thats according to Iranian Foreign minister zarif has been tweeting from the summit in the where iranian president Hassan Rouhani has also said that the instability in security in the region is caused by the americans now in reference to the accusations the American Government has made the rains have denied it they say it is outrageous that the americans would even suggest they rein in government is behind anything like this because the Iranian Revolutionary guard are all along with the navy is in charge of the security of the strait of hormuz and that this is a very vital area for the Islamic Republic now the iranians have said the events of thursday morning are alarming but also it looks even more alarming is the fact that the American Government was so quick to point the finger at the iranians without any substantial evidence for the time being the main iranians maintain that they will not be pressured into any kind of negotiation despite all the attempts made by the American Government for them to come to the negotiating table more now with kimberly how could our White House Correspondent kimberly this narrative that the white house is putting out adamantly saying that it was iran is in challenge at all within the United States clearly internationally its been a challenge but what about within the u. S. No not in a formal way but certainly there are members of congress that have leading up to these latest attacks been expressing concern about the escalation the rapid escalation in terms of the socalled maximum Pressure Campaign by this white house now the white house has just released a readout of a call between u. S. President donald trump and the japanese leader shinzo ave and of course we know that these 2 attacks on the tankers in the strait of hormuz in fact were took place when shinzo abbay was meeting in tehran trying to deescalate the tensions between the United States and iran according to that readout they discussed the attacks on the tankers but did not elaborate however donald trump did minced no words when he spoke on a Morning Television program here in the United States he said that in calderon and nation of terror he was asked repeatedly by the show house what the United States might do in terms of response he would not answer only say we dont take this lightly i can tell you that iran did it because you saw the boat the mine in the video had iran written all over it again questions about this intelligence the fact that it was miraculously able to be provided to news stations around the world in a matter of hours after the attacks took place has certainly called into question the legitimacy of this video that is grainy at best there are also concerns as you point out about the escalation and where this would head the u. S. Secretary of state is saying that iran is trying to disrupt the flow of oil in the strait of hormuz but many people feel that this is sort of something theyve seen before in terms of the movie 2003 the u. S. Invasion of iraq that led the United States on the heels of faulty intelligence so there is much more skepticism in the United States than there would have been say 16 years ago thank you for that kimberly how could the white house will go to the u. N. Without diplomatic it adjoins base to hear what the arab league has been saying in about these explosions. Well actually not just the arab league also the u. N. Secretary general because we had the secretary general of both organizations in the last few minutes addressing reporters in fact have just run down from the 38th floor thats the top floor of the tower overlooking midtown manhattan where the 2 secretary generals were speaking to reporters very interesting to hear from the secretary general of the arab league gate who said pretty clearly that he thought iran was responsible and he was very worried about irans role ready in the region interesting too though to listen to the u. N. Secretary general antonio good terrorists he made it clear that he thought the best way forward was an International Investigation into what happened he also thought the best way forward or was for diplomacy to take center stage to try and get everyone talking to try and diffuse the tension you might then answer ask why he doesnt leave the diplomacy and why he doesnt set up the inquiry will very interesting lee he has interpreted his role in a very limited way hes interpreted the u. N. Charter which i have here in a way that i think some others certainly wouldnt interpret it and say that he cannot set up an inquiry and self unless hes asked to by the u. N. Security council he also says he cant use his good old offices to lead the mediation unless hes asked to by the Security Council and certainly weve seen secretaries general in the past who have inserted themselves into International Crises without the express approval of the u. N. Security council and its interesting that hes making the stipulation that he needs the Security Council to get involved because we suspect that on this issue the Security Council would be divided and they would never give him that instruction so the secretary general very much limiting his role Going Forward james bays of that diplomatic editor at the u. N. Thank you. Now a military spokesman for yemens rebel group is warning civilians to stay away from airports in saudi arabia and the u. A. E. The rebels have already targeted saudi arabias airport near the border with yemen. Is on airports and military sites will continue as long as the war in yemen goes on well hussein. The journalist who we heard from the believes attacks on saudi arabias airports are a way to get attention from the International Community they believe this step was taken after 40 years of. War on yemen and they believe now its time for airlines those. Airport as they stop using airport after the saudis started the war against them and i think its time because if there is any civilian casualty in the coming days or coming weeks this means that airlines take the responsibility saudi arabia take that as well as ability because actually its not i mean saudi arabia cannot just bomb yemen airport while the airport is still open and this is exactly what Yemeni Government on forces here in sanaa are saying that an airport and i for an eye if they close our airports we will close all the.
