Us to say that we are generally on the parent to civilian led government thats premature at this point mr reeves we thank you very much for your time and your expertise on this that is eric graves live in northampton massachusetts thank you. There are plenty more ahead on the news hour including mothers march in hong kong support of Young Students against a controversial extradition. Zimbabwes underpowered a commie unreliable electricity supplies are putting businesses and workers under pressure and the president has some big plans for the womens world cup the whole has the details and. The uns Nuclear Watchdog will hold a special meeting next week on Irans Nuclear program the meeting was called by the u. S. Which pulled out of the 2050 nuclear deal last year and says it will begin the 2nd phase of its planned to reach the deal starting on sunday iran has set a 2 month deadline for the remaining signatories that is russia china russia and france and germany to provide Economic Relief from u. S. Sanctions well lets go now to our White House Correspondent committee how could shes joining us live from washington d. C. Any reaction from the white house to any of these developments committee. Yeah there are theres been some reaction of the National Security council says its working on its statement but certainly we asked the president of the sort of latest escalation coming from iran and what his reaction was we should point out that iran of course this week did issue its own warning saying that it would enrich uranium to any amount it desired if there was no nuclear deal of the u. S. President donald trump this week tweeted about that saying iran should be very careful i asked him about of the south lawn of the white house as he was departing a few hours ago and he underscore that point to me he said well see what happens but iran has to be very very careful i think whats notable in all of this is that the United States is now called for this meeting with the Nuclear Watchdog agency of the United Nations because of that concern that iran is breaching those limits with regard to the uranium stockpile and of course that is in violation of the 2015 agreement to limit or rods Nuclear Program we should point out a deal that the United States has withdrawn from so in all of this it is notable that the United States is now kind of looking to an International Body to try and perhaps tamp down these escalations between it and iran and of course this also comes one day after british authorities detained a tanker allegedly carrying a ride into oil to syria again reporting there saying that it was acting on the instructions of the United States so given the escalation that has happened in recent weeks the fact that the United States came very close to a potential missile strike as the result of iran striking down drone of the United States it is very notable that they are now turning to this International Body that weve got a statement from the state department with regard to the issue of the british tanker the state department saying we Welcome International partners resolve in not holding and enforcing sanctions so it appears the it i. States might even be taking a step back given things got so heated and so close now looking ahead to that july 10th meeting that will take place next week important few days ahead for iran can believe thank you very much for that sound White House Correspondent kimberly held in washington d. C. Now a court in gibraltar has ordered the detention of that oil tanker for 14 days authorities are questioning the crew and examining the cargo said on has condemned what it describes as the illegal seizure of the tanker by britain off the spanish coast the u. K. Suspects the iranian ship was trying to deliver all to syria and breach of e. U. Sanctions brennan has the latest. After the initial diplomatic flurry on thursday the situation appears to settle a little bit but the process is ongoing and there are 2 strands to it 1st of all is the procedural process and that is the interviewing of those 28. 00 crew members on board the gray swan this oil tanker which remains anchored within the shadow of the rock of gibraltar being interviewed as witnesses not as potential suspects by a contingent of around 50 Royal Gibraltar Police who are on board that oil tanker conducting those interviews and the investigation and the police are undertaking is to try to establish exactly what the cargo is where it came from where it was going to what the exact destination was theyll be looking at the ships logs and various other documents on board and speaking to the crew as well for that information a warning from the u. K. Foreign office here in london is that the process of that investigation could take in their words several weeks so looks like it could be a pro loaned kind of situation there in the mouth of the mediterranean and that feeds into the diplomatic and political situation the iranians continue to be very angry that this ship has been stopped in this way a former leader of the iranian Republican Guard has been on social media suggesting that the iranians in retaliation should contemplate stopping and detaining a british ship in the gulf region no indication from the iranian government that they will actually take that course of action. And the other aspect to all of this is the gibraltarian government which is bristled at the idea that it was only acting on it at the behest of the americans we heard from the spanish acting foreign minister who said that the information that led to this operation came from the United States gibraltar denying that they were acting at the behest of any 3rd party nation saying that they were simply upholding europeans. Sentients law the statement from the gibraltarian saying there has been no political request at any time from any government we acted independently based on suspected breaches of existing law and not at all based on extraneous Political Considerations to take that 1st round.

On this parade they were carrying boxes of clout theyre known 1 theyre filled with food and basic subsidized food items and that was kind of. Something different that we saw on this stage but whats happening right now is Opposition Leader was demonstrating it he gathered outside the United Nations office in got actors and from there he marched towards the director of the count the military Counter Intelligence directorate this is a very a part of Security Forces thats been lately the spotlight mostly because its being blamed and accused of the death of a navy captain the opposition says and his lawyers say that he passed out 8 important he was taken to a hospital his lawyers are saying that he died because of tortures and thats why the opposition is marching on this day denouncing at dictatorship that they say is now being recognized by United Nations human rights 40 stories of thank you very much for that for now that is to raise a boy with the latest live and when a side is thank you.

On now to greece where voters will head to the polls on sunday for the 1st time since the height of the countrys financial crisis Prime Minister alexis set process holding a file rally in athens to woo voters as left wing separates a party led the country through years of austerity and now opinion polls suggest the conservative new Democracy Party is on course for a comeback johnson reports in the capital athens. Comes from one of greeces 3 big political dynasties but to give yeah cause me to use as an outsider to the conservative new Democracy Party his election to its leadership by the party base in 2016 was unexpected and many in the party disagree with his promises to streamline state bureaucracy and partially privatizing Social Security health and education but these promises helped me to thank yous when a 10 point lead over the governing left wing suit is in the European Parliament elections 6 weeks ago. I have kept my promise to reach an honest deal that will bring growth for all our travel at every corner of the country twice listening to everyone farmers students the unemployed but i also heard their hope that a new day dawned on our country the question is whether me to take these can tighten the nuts and bolts of an economy that still uncompetitive over the last decade it shrank by a quarter and is forecast to grow by just 2 percent a year which at berkys is promising to double that growth rate thats good news for this car repair shop owner who says he lost 40 percent of his business during the recession.

Doing better than expected in terms of the reforms that hes managing to attract investment and so on then i think there will be flexibility to all to reduce the target i think if that reduction does not happen. Its hard to see how he can. Do all these tax cuts you democracy bears much of the responsibility for bankrupting greece by over borrowing when there was a cheap supply of money when Financial Markets collapsed in 2008 it was the greek tax who had to make those promises to be met taxes shot up all living within their means seems knowlton at least to have matured the greens politically or those cities are increased social spending greeks seem to have tired of charity and they all want the prosperity 100000000 jobs are not lost ill just ask.
