Perspective that is a very dangerous issue because they have the crisis with the rather over it as we know so as long as you know as the time this so the drone leaves actually either a minute i think they start monitoring it until they realize that according to them it was on basically water so what is irans response likely to be then or what was it likely to be and when the americans overnight vajra man said we want to go see asians i think the iranians they have no interest of having war within a state thats obvious however they have also no interest to maintain the current status quo which basically staying and severe sanctions from the United States i think with they try to do to push more or different players regionally and internationally to work hard to pressure the United States maybe for negotiation maybe to go back to review some of the. Sanctions to at least be you know to calm down the situation because Current Situation is actually we will have it on with occasion of the stability of iran for the future always good to talk to you about your bunny thanks indeed for being with us heres a brief look at the type of drone that was shot down of the straits of hormuz the r q 4 a global hawk aircraft system is one of the u. S. Militarys most sophisticated pieces of hardware it provides intelligence and surveillance in real time and can reach an altitude of 60000 feet thats 18000 meters much higher than a commercial aircraft flies and it doesnt come cheap Industry Experts say that one drone costs around 130000000. 00 its been used in iraq afghanistan north africa and parts of the Asia Pacific RegionMatthew Driscoll is the editor of asian aviation he joins us now live via skype from singapore good to have you with us matthew so we have the u. S. Federal Aviation Authority saying that no u. S. Aircraft can now fly over that area of the straits of hormuz British Airways quantum scale them followed suit how much of an impact is this going to have on International Aviation how busy is that area that geographic area. Actually ive got flight radar 24 up on one of my screens here in my office and its an incredibly busy area i mean. By all the middle eastern carriers theres a lot of traffic that goes through that area and i think that thats a problem in the short term problem is everybodys going to have to do some rerouting or recruiting. So the flights may take a little bit longer they may have to put on some more fuel that may increase costs a little bit for the airlines but i think the f. A. A. And the airlines are acting out of an over abundance of caution which is a good thing because they dont want to have another Malaysian Airlines that was shot down over the ukraine in 2014 and going back even further in history they dont have another iran air flight 655 that was shot down by the u. S. Navy in july 1908 so why do they go for the south over the u. A. E. And oman or for the no north of iran itself a lot of it depends on where they come from. You know im actually looking at a British Airways flight that left from new delhi and normally it would have a pretty straight shot over the gulf to. England and now its taken a hard right turn and it is flying over the middle of iran right now so its not flying anywhere near the persian gulf so youll see everybody kind of flying to different directions. Because they want to avoid the gulf i want to what happens with with cataract concer and ways craft in particular of course theyre subjected to a aspace blockade by neighbors at the moment. Flights heading south from doha where do they go. Well im curious about that because i fly qatar a lot i have a lot of miles of my life is the athens to be a platinum member on the airline as well so you know were curious about that ourselves. You know that its the airlines are a little bit between a rock and a hard place because. You know honestly i couldnt tell you i mean in thats the thing is the uncertainty of the situation because the airlines can fly one way in and that may turn out to be the wrong way because nobody knows where a missile may come from or where an f. 16 may come from. You know its the uncertainty of the situation it creates a problem of course she said fuel is expensive i mean airlines wont want this situation to go along for very long how soon if they have. To Something Like this happens so they get back to flying normal routes what measures to airlines themselves take to assess danger in situations like these they talk to the regulatory authorities they you know airlines are not i mean they have good sources of information they work very closely with governments but if they if a government is going to launch an attack on someone. Normally the airlines are not going to be told just as anybody else is not going to be told because of those things are secret when you have Something Like a space launch or Even North Korea when they when they test launch a missile sometimes they give a warning normally when the u. S. Is launching a missile or or a satellite or Something Like that they give a warning so that Everybody Knows you need to clear this airspace during this period of time but when youre launching a war or an attack or you know any kind of a military operation. Youre technically youre not supposed to get a warning although apparently as i was listening to your reports earlier of the u. S. Did get a warning so who knows. Matthew really good to talk to you many thanks indeed for being with us Matthew Driscoll that in singapore. There with the news out from aljazeera still to come on the program forced to flee hundreds of thousands of congolese seek sanctuary in uganda will be live at a refugee settlement. Migrants trying to reach europe land on the shores of tunis he had become the country afford to grant asylum to those who seek it. The new orleans pelicans. And in sports n. B. A. Teams try to change their fortunes as the draft pick gets underway in new york the details coming up a little later. Thousands of demonstrators in hong kong are back on the streets demanding the complete withdrawal of an extradition bill there occupying roads around police and government buildings others are outside the governments headquarters calling for the resignation of hong kongs leda mass demonstrations have been held over the past 2 weeks against a bill which would allow criminal suspects to be sent to Mainland China for trial lets go live now to Hong Kong Al Jazeera riot is there so rob protesters back out on the streets bring us up to date with whats been happening. Thats right adrian a number and those numbers are growing throughout this friday afternoon here in hong kong and as we get into the evening we do sense that many thousands now seem to be joining their ranks the people who are finishing colleges finishing it maybe even finishing school some of these protesters are very young just secondary School Students the focus of the protest has been as you mentioned there its a couple of main highways that run through the center of the city but it is all around this Police Headquarters its headquarters in Hong Kong Police obviously the demonstrators have this ongoing accusations about the about the supposed to brutality of Hong Kong Police but Bangkok Police deny that there are only using a minimum amount of force in breaking up the protest but they are really laying siege to this building on the front of it we have thousands of protesters all across the front entrance. Headquarters where at the back where protesters have been very industrious finding all sorts of pieces of barricade which theyre now putting in front of the gates here at this part of the headquarters making sure that nobody leaves also going around trying to Block Security cameras with umbrellas and so on from filming them and a cup few hours ago there were chaotic scenes here adrian when a band that had been stuck on the highway that couldnt get back inside there was surrounded by Protesters Police came out and then guided the vehicle inside the headquarters and there was a surge by the crowds and they very nearly got inside there was there was scuffles there was a very angry standoff eventually the police managed to force the gate shut and for a time it did look as though we may see a return to tear gas and pepper spray later so this extradition bill remains suspended for the moment. But will nothing but the complete scrapping of it. Satisfy this protest movement they determined to go on. Thats what they are demanding as we know they want the complete withdrawal i think the government is hoping that eventually the message will get through that to the suspension of the bill effectively kills it for the next few years and that eventually the police hold back they allow the students to vent their anger to walk you streets like this possibly were going to see another overnight occupation here in this part of hong kong that eventually the numbers will dwindle as theyve done in the past and the concern for the students is that the government didnt win this time but it isnt the fear is that gradually the government and then by association beijing gets with pulling away at the freedoms enjoyed here in hong kong that the government will just bide its time in a few years they will try to introduce it and you might not get the same kind of opposition that we see in the streets so this is the new tactic of this protest the mass they havent announced any more mass rallies its difficult to top 2000000 people in the streets in a city of 7000000 people it is far more targeted acts of civil disobedience weve had this demonstration here and we are hearing that the number of government offices around the cities from offices such is such as tax collection and so on that there are targeted demonstrations people will sit in the 48 to disrupt the work and we are hearing that the Government Departments throughout the city have been sending people home early this friday afternoon a 30 bride reporting live from hong kong many thanks.

The crowds have been struck at the tensions on 1st they were already running high said a gay governor of a Russian Deputy visiting as part of an International Group of Orthodox Christian politicians had been allowed to address the parliament in russian something that many georgians saw as a provocation will not tolerate the russian expansion to georgia and will not tolerate nationalization of the georgia which happening unfortunately under this government for the last 7.

To the. Fighting in libya is forcing migrants theres a fear to neighboring tunisia from there they hope to cross the mediterranean and into europe but some reports from the tunisian beach resort of zara says many have drowned in their attempts or been rescued a stuck in a refugee center. It was supposed to be a passage to a new life but it turned out to be one of the deadliest shipwrecks in the mediterranean this year in may 60 people drowned when a boat carrying them from libya capsized off the coast near the city of spocks only 16 survived after they were rescued by a chinese in fishing trawler these are men that made it out alive navigating their lives as Asylum Seekers in tunisia their home for now is this refugee center. They are free to take up casual work when it is available but without proper documentation it amounts to the bare minimum emraan whos from bangladesh manages to stay in contact with his wife but he has no idea when he will see her or their baby son again because they want to go. Before the shipwreck he says he spent months in libya but he was kidnapped and tortured for ransom listable gets me this man how was a. Broaching me. Your money. My family collect money money a broken wing i would say it. Was one of the fisherman who helped save the men that night he and others have witnessed the increasing death toll from such shipwrecks as the northern mediterranean countries such as italy continue to prevent boats from libya landing on their shores by criminalizing such rescues shamsuddin insists it wont stop him from saving lives. I dont care about politics or the politicians we are all part of humanity and we have to help people we as fishermen are not going to stop saving people even if the tunisian politicians are getting pressure from europe despite the incredible danger they will be many who will take a boat from libya just to get to the other side of the Mediterranean Sea in the hope of finding a better life in europe theres absolutely no guarantee that they will even survive the journey and those who dont make it will invariably wind up washed up in this part of the 2 missing coast. This is the makeshift cemetery where the bodies of the dead are laid to rest the graves of the children who drowned at sea identifiable by the small mounds with his own resources shops a dean also tends to the graves and make sure that the victims have a proper burial a final acknowledgement for those who died nameless on a foreign shore with nothing more than hope to guide them.
