Was opened allowing thousands of these champions to make their being to the west. And on the United Nations annual was humanitarian day we look at the walk of the White Helmets in syria saving the victims of the brutal civil war. Under way well welcome to you im. The Iranian Oil Tanker seized off the british territory of gibraltar is at sea again after a court released if the vessel was held on suspicion of smuggling or into syria contravening e. U. Sanctions it now has a new name and its reported to be heading for greece its expected that the head on will now release of british tanker that it seized around the same time. July 4th moments that further inflamed the wests tensions with iran British Royal marines enter brought her officials seize a tanker carrying iranian oil accusing it of plans to deliver its cargo to syria they halted the ship off the coast of japan or alter a british territory located on spains southern tip 2 weeks later iran responded in kind it also seized a ship a british tanker sailing just south of iran in the strait of hormuz. Iran published this video of troops repelling down to capture it tehran allege the british vessel violated maritime rules. Then deadlock both ships stayed where they were until gibraltar announced last week it would release the iranian tanker gibraltar said it had been assured the tanker full of iranian oil would not go on to syria but that wasnt enough for washington the u. S. Submitted its own request to seize the vessel over sanctions violations. Gibraltars government denied that petition on sunday writing the e. U. Sanctions regime against iran which is a political in gibraltar is much now or were than that of clickable in the u. S. Irans vessel has now set sail once more raising hopes of a deescalation in the dispute with tehran. And these 2 reasons one has just returned from iran and the street to a welcome to the 1st if we do we do exactly where this iranian tanker is now heading full well thats the 1000000. 00 question here because iran has so far not disclosed the final destination it wanted this ship to go to and. It has denied it was going to syria but thats all they said and now marine tracking apparently shows it is heading for greece and the final port could become a mantra but whether thats true remains to be seen and even if it is then what happens to its cargo because greece used to be one of the countries that could still buy iranian oil even under u. S. Sanctions but thats no longer the case anymore so if they do they will have problems with the u. S. Sanctioning them so were probably just have to wait and see what happens once the tanker reaches its final destination look at it now with iranian tanker releases what does it mean does it mean that that on we will release a british ship that is because many people told this will return for tat retaliation going on yeah thats very likely they have already moved the british flag vessel from the place where it was detained in the strait of hormuz to a port in bangor abbas thats a place where the revolutionary guards are controlling everything and i just came back from banderas and i was told i couldnt go any place near the port because im a foreigner im a journalist and that would quote in danger of proceeding so theyre probably still preparing for some sort of an exchange but that trust in the u. S. And the United Kingdom is really you know thats why they have warned washington against tempting to seize the ship again so i suppose theyre just waiting a while until they see that it reaches the final destination. And then the bridges flecked with the walls to be freed ok not britain is set to join the us doest force in the gulf germany has done done to us request to do the same but what impact will this Naval Mission have on the state of play do you think well a big one probably not a good one because both the government in iran and also the many people i spoke to in tehran and also on the islands in the persian gulf they dont like to have any extra Regional Military ships in their backyard they consider them as a Security Threat so thats why it iran says the only countries that it can ensure safety in the gulf other regional countries so theyre trying to put together a mission of their own with all man with qatar the United Arab Emirates even saudi arabia but so far that hasnt really worked out but its safe to say that any mission done by the u. S. Like an enemy country considered by iran would only complicate things even further and make a political solution less likely to use it for up with thank you very much for that assessment too hungry now when president viktor orban is hosting german chancellor Angela Merkel the 2 leaders in the city of prawn were hungry but which is austria theyve been attending events to commemorate a Pivotal Moment in the fall of the i and clinton 30 years ago on this day in 1989 hungry unexpectedly allowed hundreds of east germans feeling communism to cross its border without any kind of documentation making their way into west germany it was the 1st rip in the on between communist east in europe and the democratic west. We take a look back at how that historic day for did. It was the beginning of the end of communist rule in Eastern Europe. But it was on the way so reporters applauding and here we are we cant believe its all. It was in the border town of show prawn that the iron curtain began to crumble when 500. 00 east germans fled to the west. Was one of the soldiers guarding the crossing on the 19th of august 1909 peace demonstration was being held whats gone down in history as the paneuropean picnic very open the border fence for 3 hours in a symbolic gesture agreed to by austria and hungary suddenly droves of east germans appeared in the cornfields and fled across the open border it was an escape that had been carefully planned the Border Guards did not open fire. On them it happened very fast the people only had to run 120 meters and they did it in 20 seconds we had to make a decision in that short time to go to about. The east german refugees were dazed but delighted i am tired of were free. Were glad to have made it. I cant really believe im here and i got off the bus just had a chopper on and crossed over and we were going over. The escape had been made possible by miklos nemat in 1908 hed been appointed Prime Minister of a bankrupt hungary he decided there was no money to secure the border with austria and the budget for 989 he came across a line item and then a fight with a secret code. Form and cold of the interior minister. And he told me that the cease. Disarm ford refurbishment for delivery new rule over the fence between hungary and austria and what did you do then then i the lead girls that big song out of the budget. The 1st hole in the iron curtain the news soon spread around the world nimitz soon realized that the communist regime in moscow which had held Eastern Europe in an iron grip for decades was not going to intervene all of them noted what was going on. And no. Knocking on my door over the. Soviet embassy to budapest protesting what the ruling no telephone call for almost call it will sprint for when i did eventually speak to make gorbachev on the phone the soviet leader confirmed he wouldnt use force against civilians the people were free to vote against communist rule with their feet.

The people of hong kong once again filled the streets on the 11th straight weekend of mass for democracy protests organizers say 1700000 people thats nearly a quarter of hong kong still keep population turned out despite heavy rain for their calling for more feed him for the terror unlike some of the previous demonstrations the rally was not mobbed by violence the call. Dignified resilient these are the scenes organizers had cooled for a few expected its not quite like this. Protest is a bull ages braving the pouring rain to march the crowds swelling in every direction bringing parts of the city to or tied to a standstill this see the protesters marching through the streets feel like it never going to add a lot of these protesters with a face take us rubber bullets over the last few weeks of this original right sadly know its going to face. These demonstrators had a point to prove many had felt weeks of clashes and shocking scenes of hong kong airport on tuesday to tarnish their movement beijing branding the move on in protest as close to terrorists. But as they arrived on sunday they were united. People power and peace their weapons of choice in the battle for their image last week theres a lot of protests in the airport and i think that cottle of attention for the whole world thats why i think today is one of the important day for us to see peaceful try to be a rational and civilized group of people because i know the worst watching us as night fell the true test began as protesters converged outside the government complex it seemed like this could end like so many protests before take out masks at the ready trepidation police could come in at any moment to disperse the crowd then came this way just like. Small classes a protest is spreading through the Ground Mission complete they charged everyone go higher. We. Have a victory today we have near in the 2000000 people coming out to. Force out our 5 demands peacefully so we won. Todays protest to we absolutely peaceful and so thats why we are encouraging people to go home. 11 weeks into this movement theyve proven they still enjoy improved support. The as move people take up the cry the demonstrators discuss their need for riot police to me even these protesters were policing themselves. For the 1st weekend in weeks take us must go on years to say see whats going to open those of us that support these seana chosen pin. Today is the United Nations and there was a humanitarian day when tribute is paid to it workers who risk their lives in humanitarian service in syria the White Helmets are one such group they have based in the city of west 7 of its volunteers recently died as Government Forces advance on the city is the final strong Core Developers opposed to damascus. Racing to save lives rescue of Mohammad Khatami receives details of the incident over his radio a russian warplane has dropped bombs on an apartment block in moderate a town in syrias province right now every moment counts. They arrive at the scene to look for survivors buried in the rubble who cant get out without their help and the owners of the. This time at least it seems no one has been hurt or needs the white helmet so assistance. We help injured civilians Children Women and old people. I work is really important theres no other organization on the scene that saving lives was up for. Mohammed joined the white helmet and 2013 hes one of 180 volunteers based here at this emergency center. Of rescued thousands of people from the rubble thats what inspires mohammed to keep going. Still not every mission is a success and the memories of what hes seen still haunt him. The worst was when i pulled 2 brothers from underneath a concrete ceiling they both been sleeping in the same bed and one of them was already dead you know which saved the other one that made me cry not by. The White Helmets have been working around the clock since the government launched its offensive. The syrian and allied russian fighter jets have been bombing targets here in the last rebel held controlled region in the country. The government says its only targeting militias loyal to al qaeda but in reality theyve also been hitting apartments hospitals markets and schools. The White Helmets document the reality of this war from the ground. Sees them as terrorists and thats why they themselves have become a target. Gain and again as we were rushing to save peoples lives russian jets launched a 2nd wave of bombings hitting the rescuers many of our people have been killed or injured in that way. On the how its about that. 9 White Helmets of died in the past 3 months alone the group says a good friend of mohameds was one of them i. Couldnt do with what happened for a whole week he couldnt talk to anyone and couldnt understand what had happened i was with him when he was hit that we wanted to save civilians the child with. Mohammed has also been injured in the field several times. But he says in the end all that pain has just made him stronger. The Syrian Government in damascus is vanda the White Helmets terrorist supporters how do they respond to such accusations i spoke to ahmad said no in Northern Syria earlier hes been a White Helmets wanted to since the beginning of 2013. Our reaction is that line is this law is whatever i have been repeated and the truth of the through walls whatever have been denied because we say hundreds of civilian and document what happens on the ground and transferred what have been the ground of ground this is the cause of transferring what ive been on the ground and several civilian assad regime to touch eyes as i as i said to him into hospital someone with. Some hospital coordination was shared with you and russia and they attack it they get the item is good and that this can ban 30 times the lid on the item its we lost 8 volunteer we. Also have no insurance and we lost the take calls between ambulance and Fire Fighting just just of the 2 of our volunteer have been and doing serious injury and the onset of the. Russian helicopter the simplest one you know what were responding and destroy one vehicle and unfortunately that. This is happening every day when such a man how do you keep your volunteers motivated in the midst of all this danger and all this controversy because your organization has also been given in 2016 the right livelihood award and also nominated for a nobel peace prize. Actually everyone here is a target assad regime and. So you 100 millions a drug 50 markets used. Around mosques schools 60 schools and also about if you want here is a thought you had saw we are with us again here we are on our life sometimes when an observatory. That i had got it all in a crowd of job offer for how many have little homes. Are we trying to please let all that we dont know we have to with out of the me with that. Later we are just one just one store ever the civilians and this is i wonder if you for that report. Write. A White Helmets volunteer thank you very much for talking to d. W. Here watching the news still to come on the bundesliga opening weekend. And make that a top flight debut but id like to say crush hopes. But 1st what youre looking at is the glare of the aggressor in iceland nothing remarkable about that you might think except that this photo is several years old and and that mass of snow and ice is no mall its icelands 1st class lost to Global Warming due Satellite Photos tell a dramatic story in this one from 986 there is no lack of snow and ice on the glass. But a photo taken in just a few weeks ago shows that this was nothing left over the weekend the people of iceland mock the disappearance of the of last year by installing a memorial plaque. Of iceland are spectacular site from the air. For years ratner excell son has been photographing them. Among them this one called ark the countrys 1st glacier to officially vanish it lost its glacier status in 2014 and now a plaque remembers it with a letter to the future. Most schoolchildren here know the glacier is 9 to vanish affects people in iceland both psychologically and emotionally a glycine many of known since childhood has ceased to exist. At a ceremony on sunday activists politicians and citizens bade farewell to auk but other clay shares are likely to follow like europes largest fuck new york. Iceland is losing more than 10000000. 00 tonnes of glacier ice per year. And researchers agree the reason is Climate Change. Never nice and history have glasses melted as quickly as now everything points to the fact that this will continue in the future we have to suppose that in 200 years almost lysias will advantaged. Axelson flew over the glaciers again a few days ago capturing images of a landscape that may soon be gone for ever. Not a sport in the reserve big rican for when youre on bill in france as the climate is wonderfully got to do a few decades in the lower divisions here to break through sundays action is leaving her talking from the sports welcome so a very proud moment for fans but the day ended in crushing disappointment and not so proud after all i mean they received a huge spanking at the hands of life safe but at least they stay true to their values and leipsic and a new and been in i mean completely Different Team so we knew there was always going to be a bit of tension when they finally meet up in the bundesliga and what happened was that the ultra fans that were known or to her fans organized an atmosphere boycott so for the 1st 15 minutes of the match they decided to remain silent and which of course sucks because you know that the stadium is known for their special atmosphere and the reasoning behind all of this is that in their eyes 6 represents the antithesis of football that there is a everything well of whats wrong with football that they all successful because of the sugar daddy read. But on the pitch at the end that didnt really didnt make much of an impact because it was like 6 with the last laugh they ended up winning for no and we have the highlights lets take a look. Berlin fans have been waiting for this moment for decades and the emotion showed finally in the big time those who didnt live to see the day were also there in spirit. The out of 1st of i is a very Different Ground to what ill be like to get used to in the bunkers later but the negative reception for the club backed by an Energy Drinks firm was very familiar. To me own players were looking to hit the ground running and show the togetherness which helped win them promotion. The game had a muted start on 15 minutes to supporters brought into life just as they did like 6 marcel house to struck. Here now guzmans 1st one was a good goal celebration is like that boss noone gave the fullback far too much room but it was still a fine finish. A crack of a muscle sabots a double the lead on 31 minutes if you knew and didnt know how tough the blunders they get would be they knew now oh you dont coach fisher bravely put his glasses back on but it soon got worse than a burst through to make it 3 nil just before half time. To serve and cuckoo grabbed the 4th after the break. I knew my heart broken at the end it will be a tough season for the promoted by linares but the coach clubs supporters will keep on singing. Its a huge disappointment when young fans that limits the tell us about sundays other will miss the guy game yeah zofran for it also with the perfect start they were up against hoffenheim and it took them only 36 seconds to score thanks to my team. A guy and hoffenheim just a concrete defensive breakdown and although. Hoffenheim did manage to have more of the ball after that they scored 2 goals but both of them were of rudolphs high so once again just an incredible stock for frank ford who of course people need to keep in mind lost 2 of their best players and your bitch ends of boston in the off season but not of incredible stoffel by new date there were held to a draw but her to belive hold but they have made an interesting addition to this squad yes they have and that was a very shocked result so by and have come for the loan signing. From boston lona and they may need brought him in because they want him to add creativity to the midfield but if you look at biarritz transfer policies lately a lot of desperate moves so its clear that theyve been unable to fill the void that frank rebury and i and robin half left behind in terms of quantity if so whether its bringing in even paris to john known or katyn your neither one of them are the cops 1st choice as we all knew that they were interested in manchester citys you boy sonny he of course you know got injured and the deal fell apart so very uncharacteristic of bion so it makes for interesting going to say go season q thank you very much for you and.
