In hong kong it appears theres no end in sight to the political crisis of mothers have rallied to show their support for the citys young protesters they accuse the police of using Excessive Force what a small group of them stormed the citys legislature on monday the governments refusal to shelve the controversial extradition bill has triggered weeks of mass protests most of the Peaceful Demonstrations are planned for sunday lets cross over to rob brad our correspondent in hong kong really saturday gives everybody an opportunity rob to reflect to remember whats being going on after weeks of social as we said a peaceful political disagreement. Here absolutely so where we are is the Perfect Place if you like for reflection we are up in a place called typo its up in the New Territories that separates cow loon and Hong Kong Island from Mainland China in fact only a few kilometers from the border with Mainland China and were at a university where they are this saturday afternoon holding a Memorial Service for low you yet know she was a student who took her own life last week she was a 1st year creative art student at this campus she was only 21 years old tragically she jumped to her death from a building in foundling thats a new town thats not far from here and she did so just before she jumped she scrawled on the wall had basically her last message very poignantly saying no extradition back to china saying that her sacrifice was a small sacrifice but it was her way of trying to fulfill the wish of 2000000 people of course 2000000 people came out on that famous march just over a week ago calling for the scrapping of this extradition bill and sadly she is no longer with us are we students have gathered here were hearing speeches they are singing hymns not. Only students from this campus but also fellow protesters from the movement and all around this campus they have put up a poster this is this is a reproduction of her last words that she tragically scrawled on the wall before her death and so thats whats happening here this saturday afternoon but as you said a moment for reflection for everybody thats been involved in this movement very sad moment there and of course i suppose you know the reality is that what one does what next really for not just the students but also demonstrators as a whole across hong kong who are still opposing this extradition law the issue has not gone away. Absolutely there is still see the anger here resentment that peoples voices they believe are simply not being heard the government says carry lamb the chief executive says she is listening she will rule differently here in this city people here is just simply dont believe if 2000000 people out on the streets does not move the government storming the Mini Parliament does not move the government then what will work so i think it is a pause for reflection their rise is another protest planned for this weekend a much smaller protest over on the cowling side of hong kong harbor we wait to see what the result of that is but just coming back to this Memorial Service the organizers of this Memorial Service and there will be a couple of other Memorial Services for 2 other protesters who whose deaths have been linked to the to the movement who took their own lives they have to be very careful about staging this they have to give people the opportunity to grieve to pay their respects at the same time they have to be careful that they they dont make a hero of the person or politicize it too much because the last thing anybody wants is somebody else to try to follow suit to treat them if you like as a martyr which would be more even more tragic than it already is and indeed for the moment well leave it there rob of course and continue to monitor events from hong kong thank you.

An Iranian Oil Tanker is seized by british marines off gibraltar apparently on orders from the United States whats behind this dramatic move and how can you europe navigate the escalating tension between the u. S. And iran this is inside story. Hello and welcome to the program on iran come on an iranian old time is that they center of a growing international dispute british marines boarded and detained the ship on thursday as it was sailing in. A british territory on spains south coast the u. K. Believes it was violating European Union sanctions by carrying iranian oil to syria spain says it was the United States that ordered the vessel be stopped iran condemned what it called an illegal interception and summoned the British Ambassador to tehran the u. S. And iran have been engaged in a war of words for months as washington precious tehran to renegotiate the 2015 nuclear deal this action the rose from information giving the gibraltar government reasonable grounds to believe that the vessel the grace one was acting in breach of European Union sanctions against syria in fact we have reason to believe that the grace one was carrying its shipments of crude oil to the ban yes refinery in syria. That refinery is the property of an entity that is subject to European Union sanctions against syria the u. S. National security advisor john bolton called their detention excellent news a former commander of irans revolutionary guard is threatening retaliation saying if britain doesnt release the Iranian Oil Tanker it is the author or is his duty to seize a british oil taga. I. Lets bring in our panel joining us from tehran hassan medea an assistant professor of Political Science at the university of tehran in berlin early for the nature a visiting fellow at the Brookings Doha Center and in washington d. C. Jeff stacy a former u. S. State Department Official under president barack obama welcome to you all i like to begin in teheran 1st the brits have made their move the u. S. National security adviser john bolton seems to be positively giddy about the whole thing calling it excellent news what does tehran do next. Of course tehran see it in line with the recent you know act trends that have been taken by the brits whether guards to iran and the j. C. B. Or a. For instance and for your answer the brits came out of it with out and in. Suggesting that iran was behind it while the u. A. E. Itself said there is no you know any think that links iran to be incident on other issues that the downing of the u. S. Spy jet or a spy drone the brits also endorsed the. U. S. You know rhetoric and narrative a bit and i think basically in recent months london has been you know reflecting whatever the white house had to say this incident i think is in line with that shift in. Londons you know policy of the regards to iran because up until now ever since the sanctions have been in place the e. U. Sanctions on syria there there hasnt been any incident but now so the iranians basically the general mood here is that the brits are doing what the United States wants and its in line with their policy of bandwagon with the United States against iran but you know you heard sending the jury illusory against e. U. Sanctions youre not supposed to do that. Thats of course thats either use sanctions not iran sanctions they the e. U. Is now or the britain the brits are doing what the United States the Trump Administration has been doing that the administration has been imposing unilateral sanctions and penalize you know pressurizing others to abide by them the e. U. Is imposing sanctions and you know. Forcing other or trying to force others to abide by them which is it self the e. U. And clued in the brits have been criticizing the United States for lets bring in washington d. C. Here and stacey jeff you worked on the original j c p o a deal you know a lot of the players involved this deal has now almost completely broken down is there any way back for the u. S. On this is any way back for iran on this do you see this as being a a moment where theres an opportunity or a view given up on this deal ever being same through again. Were not fully given up on the deal and the europeans arent although this is certainly a signal to the iranians that they probably are and so weve got all sorts of perception problems here and the likelihood is that the deal in terms of irans adherence to it on the in richmond levels and these sorts of things theyll probably push the end even more file a few more provisions but the real concern is whats going to happen right in the region with the different. Capacities and pieces of military equipment that are in place were probably going to see now another move by iran to lash out and target someone either directly or with its subsidiaries in the region such as the who teaser others and thats where the real danger is here that the red line that this administration has out there could be moved right across and then an exchange takes place and then a rapid escalation thats the real danger here where more and more boxed in so the agreements thats not really the greatest concern here that can be gotten back in line with relatively quickly the real problem with the military assets in the region and how close to each other they are and the difficulty now in terms of any kind of military exchange targeting of another piece of either u. S. Or allied military forces that is the real issue at this stage it is a very serious issue but you this administration they did put those military assets that the iranians were sticking to the deal according to your own sources near the white house itself under president obama they were very happy that with the way the iranians are sticking to the deal then this administration changes everything and suddenly we have those assets in the region this is warmongering classical monroe. Sholay it is i mean the Drug Administration is guilty of starting this entire crisis so theres that fault and theres plenty of it lying around the difficulty now is that the europeans do not want this deal violated and the iranians are pushing the ante here by essentially aligning the europeans with the americans because theyre really out of moods everyone is boxed in here the us is boxed in iran is boxed in thats why the danger level is going up and the tensions are going up the sources of this quite rightly are entirely the fault of the us but now were in a really dangerous situation right there in the gulf with these assets and that is the problem there red lines on both sides we need to get back to discussions and obviously sanctions lifted and moving to a new deal except rick cetera lets bring in the 5000 as i said whos a visiting fellow at the Brookings Doha Center hes actually and then right now do you see a way out of this of both sides is there something is there a way of backing down. Well and the interest situation is very difficult and so there is not. I mean the only way out would be that both tehran and washington become more flexible so that for example washington announces that to iran beyond you know the signal that theyre actually willing to talk without preconditions as President Trump recently said to signal to iran that they would be willing to stop some of the sanctions and this would send a positive signal to iran and maybe give them some courage to enter into negotiations because so the iranian perspective for the last few months was that they were in a position of weakness and there is no. There is no reason to engage in talks with the United States or the debate has much more multifaceted in toronto surely but for now we dont have the green light from the Supreme Leader of iran which is an absolute necessity so we see at least rhetorically finale more willingness to talk from the american side than from the iranian side but bees as it may we might say a different dynamic if iran decides to go beyond to go to move towards 20 percent of low enriched uranium in the next few days and this my create a new dynamic inside of which the europeans will find it very difficult to continue the kind of political and diplomatic support to iran so all of this kind of. Play of brinkmanship from the u. S. And iranian side of the last few weeks and months is now entering a critical stage let me bring in her son here in tehran you heard what our guest in berlin had to say is that a way for the iranians to come back to the negotiating table and turn this around or is it simply too late. I think iranians have never left the negotiation table they have been there its the United States that a got out of the know from the negotiating table and try to bring iran on its own terms to another negotiating tables so this is clear the United States violated the deal then imposed the sanctions that were lifted as part of the deal and then forced others to you know abide by those sanctions and now is in a ratcheting up the pressure the maximum pressure and im in the the point that your guest from washington brought up that everybodys boxed in i think thats correct but the party that is suffering is iran its not the e. U. Its not the United States so iran sees. The way that the e. U. Is dealing with u. S. Sanctions as. As a violation of it of its own commitment within the deal so its basically its not working against the e. U. Its basically doing what the e. U. And the United States is doing that they basically got back from their commitments they got back to the 1st square where the negotiations started and led to the j. C. A and iran basically is i think is heading back as well to the 1st where to be equal i mean to deal with them on equal footing and i think thats thats a choice that has been made into iran iranians cannot basically the authorities here the ruling elites cannot you know afford to basically woo back and kneel be behind before us maximum pressure they have to create a leverage as to go to and if they are to go to another round of discussions or negotiations provided that there will be a willing mess on the other. Partly but i think whats important for iran now is the economics of the u. S. Sanctions and they are not doing basically its part of the deal. And is right. Rationally so iran is you know pressurizing the e. U. And the other parties to the deal to live up to their own commitments within the deal thats actually very interesting question let me bring in a lethal and in berlin its not actually illegal to transport iranian all around the world owes a unilateral sanctions being placed on. By the u. S. On iran so its actually quite legal to transport oil around the world its much more difficult to sell it in iran does need money now because its being squeezed so much do you feel that the iranians are now absolutely desperate to get hold of cash and thats why they took such a risky move allegedly by trying to get this all to syria or do you think this is just been happening for a long time. Well i mean 1st of all. The iranian oil shipment where its syria im not sure if in return the iranians would get back cash from the assad regime so basically what was happening during the last few years is that basically iran was providing a lot of material and other help to the assad regime and not really under turn for money and for cash i mean so this is not the issue. I think the timing of this incident is very interesting because it comes after the European Union has announced that a special Purpose Vehicle which is about a mechanism set up by the European Union called instax is going to be operational. And this would of course not be substantive because as it is it stands now. Through the instax actually not really massive and significant transactions can be made between europe in iran but at least symbolically this you move is is a signal to washington that the u. S. Actually circumventing u. S. Sanctions. And so when so this is incident in juba tahrir was. The be asked of the americans and precisely at a time as well when the acting foreign minister of spain missed the boat ireland is poised to become the next e. U. Foreign policy chief did this put some of the bar also in a very difficult situation talking about infringement possible infringement of sovereignty of spain by britain on it so if this is a calculated move by the United States to do this at this particular timing this is also a way to drive a wedge among the europeans in this critical juncture. But as such the incident is not that significant it is only significant because it comes within a context of escalating tensions between the 2 sides lets bring in washington d. C. Had the European Union has played a negotiating role between the u. S. And iran in the past it has been part of the a talks it has the iranians have felt for a very long time that they did have friends within the European Union that they could talk talk to and they could lean on in times of toughness in the last few months what weve seen though is the e. U. Not really acting the way it said it would act when it came to the iranians and this deal how much of that is to do as our guest in tehran says is just pandering to washington. Well theres a bit of that but the most important thing here is that the europeans can do something beyond just enforcing or not invoicing saying sions including related to this tinkers seizure what they should do in particular france in a menu mccrone is step in and mediate the japanese Prime Minister avi tried to do this but it was at a time where there was no real off ramp for the iranians and so it wasnt really. Appropriate in terms of the sequencing but there is now an opportunity right when everyone is boxed in with very few moves to make to save face as it were its time for france to come in especially because theyre not doing what they should be doing over in libya with the support of general haftar theres a grand opportunity here for france and the rest of the e. U. To come in and broker a new deal remember trump has really only opposing this bit because of domestic considerations because this had to do with president obama hell sign something as hes done with a trade deal that looks relatively similar to the previous deal so iran can think about that take that im bored strategically with the push from the europeans as a real opportunity to get a some couple of small sanctions relieved get back to the table iran can think creatively about what else it could offer so this deal looks just somewhat different and we can get back to adherents to it and moving forward into the next chapter of this war in the 3rd phase of this crisis we need to move to the 4th phase where the tensions actually start to come down and theyre back at the negotiating table housen in teheran its an interesting point isnt it surely one with talking about what President Donald Trump wants is not the j. C. Pioli effect if you wants the t. C. P. Oh if he wants the trump card brands and plan of action why dont you just give it to him. Well i think. To begin with iran was not happy with the j. C. In the 1st place both parties came down from you know from there are demands ideal deal that they had in mind and got to bed and now you have the United States reneging on the same deal that iran was not happy with asking it to step even back even further so. Basically the question here in tehran is that what should we are for now im in the entire nuclear file to the United States irans in no leverage in the in the region that is basically and very effective the you know is used as a deterrent means or irans Ballistic Missiles that the only basic you know defense means that iran has these are the questions what what can we offer to tromp and if its not j. C. If you know its the c. P. U. It would be of course different from the j. C. And iranians were not happy with the j. C. Surely they want to be with another version of it that the trumpet ministration can sell within the United States so irans choice is not and i think the other question is who can we trust in the United States and i mean that the administration while a bit of a deal that is a part of International Law if it has been endorsed by the u. N. Security council that that administration could not be trusted thats the essence of many of the arguments that has been made here into her and i think theres a as much as there was a consensus to go with for a deal with Obama Administration and the Previous Administration there is a consensus here nowadays it is felt. In the in the Decision Making and circles and elites that we shouldnt do that with the trump illustration at least not for now let me bring in ali in berlin here youve heard what both i guess about to say they stated their positions very clearly there doesnt seem to be any Common Ground right now will there be any Common Ground under a president like donald trump. Well let me start by saying that it is true that last year the crisis was kicked off after the Trump Administration unilaterally basically violated the nuclear deal all the iran was sticking to its side of the commitments with the iranian strategy ever since this kind of strategic patience has not been successful it has been basically to bank upon the europeans to help them out to be to provide them with the economic benefits of the deal but giving the power consolation in the International Order where the United States is still the predominant power in the International Financial Banking System the sanctions are imposed on iran have been much more forceful than a lot of observers have been. Have been thinking that they might be and so the other part of the iranian strategy is by doing so they would be able to drive a wedge between the europeans and the americans but the reality remains that the europeans will not be able to provide iran with the economic benefits of the deal as long as u. S. Sanctions are still in place so at the end of the day so europe is basically out of the picture its basically down to iran and the United States to sit down and talk despite. Aspects of the legality and illegality that my colleague from tehran mentioned this is how the situation is and. That the iranians have been quite successful during the past few weeks and months to show not only to the United States but also to. Iran allies of the United States in the region that the costs of a military confrontation with iran would be very very high and on the other side also the trump himself you know seems not to be interested in a large scale military confrontation and then just a story already out of korea israel running out as i want to bring in jeff stacy in washington d. C. Where should the iranians simply wait out president of the trump. No they shouldnt because the tensions are likely to lead to a military exchange well before the president leaves and of course everything could go relatively back to normal were someone like joe biden. To come into this and that would be a good thing but the europeans are not out of the picture there were quiet discussions still going on right up until the enrichment violation was announced and that quiet diplomacy now nst needs to become of quiet behind the scenes and loud out in front of the scenes brew careen getting the sides back to the table someone like mccrone could get President Trump to listen and release a few of the sanctions in order to get back to the table and iran could think creatively about what else they could do in here because of course if you look at the who does for example in yemen theyve got increased capabilities and they are actually in the so the attacks especially most recently on one of the saudi airports you know killed some civilians so there are some things like that that could be added to the deal that would make the entire region more secure and more peaceful and what we want to get back to is an iran that is as normal relations with the world and everyone with it economically viable again and moving away from pushing confrontation around the region and to a new era really and this ironically could even happen during the trumpet ministration would just need to dress up the discussions and the provisions of a new deal slightly differently its not as difficult as everyone seems to believe it is gentlemen we are out of time i want to thank you all has an idea and for that measure head and jeff stacey and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website out is there a dot com and further discussion as well face.

There are american weapons on both sides chinese drones on both sides russian weapons on both sides and a number of the both the p 5 or the Security Council and are number of the other nations that you mentioned and some others are doing things that violate the u. N. Embargo and impact whats going on on the ground and so again this u. N.

S. Nuclear watchdog will hold a special meeting on Irans Nuclear Program Next Week the session was called by the u. S. After president trouble warned iranian president Hassan Rouhani to be careful with his threats the senior aide to irans Supreme Leader says the country will slowly but surely reduce its commitment to the 2015 nuclear deal unless europe does more to save it. Real definitely not initiate anything to withdraw from the nuclear deal unless the other party does the other party has step by step americans directly and europeans in directly violated the deal we will show reaction exponentially as much as they violate it we reduce our commitments as much as they reduce it if they go back to fulfilling their commitments we will do as well this will happen at a rational and gradual pace but also jabari has more from tehran. Spent a very very tense time here over the past few weeks this deadline is fast approaching 24 hours ago and the iranians have already said that they are going to increase their level of enrichment uranium enrichment they are currently at 3. 67 percent that is the agreement under the nuclear deal of 2015 but they will move that up tomorrow to what level we dont know. More from the Supreme Leader senior advisor. He said for example we could increase the level of enrich uranium to 5 percent because the share a power plant needs the 5 percent enriched uranium to fuel it took for it to produce electricity for the country this was just an example that was given as to why that level might go up now all this is being done because the iranians feel that the european signatories of the nuclear deal have not upheld there and that the bargain they have triggered a clause in the agreement which says that they can scale back their commitment until the other signatories show that they are committed to the deal now all this is happening and weve also heard from the iranian diplomat mission in vienna about the u. S. Requests for the i. A. E. A. Meeting next wednesday this diplomat said that it is quite ironic for the United States to call this meeting because they withdrew from this deal last year and the of pressure other countries that are left in this deal to do the same all the while theyre now expressing concern for earlier on which is under the i. A. E. A. If they are being issued 15 reports by that agency that iran has been in compliance with this nuclear deal but the United States is saying they are now concerned about irans lack of commitment after they abandoned it altogether so were waiting for this announcement on sunday it will certainly make things more tense between iran and the United States and this back and forth will continue to escalate will it still message because a call to extend the detention of an iranian all talk about 14 days. British forces seized the ship on thursday they suspect it was delivering all to syria in breach of e. U. Sanctions officials in gibraltar u. K. Territory off Southern Spain are examining the cargo and interviewing the crew iran calls the seizure illegal portland has more from london. There are 2 main strands to this now 1st of all theres the procedural and that is the investigation into the exact nature of the cargo on this ship grace one its origin and most particularly its ultimate destination and where exactly was it going and the 28 crewmembers who are still on board that ship are now being interviewed as witnesses by the role Gibraltar Police and the time that thats likely to take means that the attorney general of gibraltar on friday applied for an extension of the detention of that ship it would have been 72 hours and that would run out in the early hours of sunday and it was clearly felt that that wasnt enough time to get to the bottom of it and so theyve successfully applied for a 14 day extension so that ship is going nowhere and i spoke on friday to a specialist in the sanctions law who said that the actual process could take very much longer than that i predict a very long long. Investigation and if any criminal proceedings follow likely it takes some time because i fully expected iranian authorities to bring a legal challenge as a real war of words frankly is developing over the fate of this ship grace one we know that the iranians were extremely critical and are demanding the return of that cargo the gibraltar nds are also rather bristling at the suggestion from spain that they were acting simply at the behest of the United States but other countries are also weighing in the Russian Foreign ministry an ally of iran dont forget has accused the u. K. And the u. S.
