Fridays for future demonstrations across europe as he assumes the e. U. Presidency on t. V. In the us says solving Climate Change should be europes next heroic act. To dream the lives of madagascar in football fever for Years National team to pass for the quarterfinals of the topic and cup of nations. Im still going to welcome to the program britain says 3 iranian boats attempted to intercept a British Oil Tanker near the persian gulf but driven off by a Royal Navy Frigate iran has denied its vessels tried to stop the tanker in the strait of hormuz saying its boats were just carrying out routine duties. The strait of hormuz one of the worlds busiest shipping routes through which a 3rd of the worlds seaborne oil must pass irans navy is an active presence. The strait is only about 40 kilometers wide at its narrowest point iran has long used its coastline to project an implicit threat to the worlds oil supplies in this latest incident britain says that this french it turned away iranian speedboats that threatened its oil tanker. Ron has blamed tensions on the gulf and britain was just days ago seized an Iranian Oil Tanker in gibraltar claiming it was violating sanctions by delivering oil to syria. Begin the incarnation will he say to the british that your action is preposterous wrong and its a mistake. And we will harm you as you get in on the s. C. We should all try to make shipping secure at the international level. Tell britain you are an initiator of insecurity and you will understand the repercussions later because now you have become desperate and when your tanker wants to move around in our region it has to be escorted by your destroyers because you are afraid dont you i am a bush in britain called for calm a Government Spokesperson said we are concerned by this action and continue to urge the iranian authorities to deescalate the situation in the region. Escalation is the great fear the latest incident comes as iran has started enriching uranium beyond the terms of the 2050 nuclear deal its signed with International Powers diplomats are scrambling to keep that deal from unraveling completely while the tension in the gulf simmers. Straight to the u. K. Capital then data to correspondent lot of pots is in london welcome charlotta what is the British Government saying. Well of course phil we are talking about one of the most vital shipping channels in the world and this comes amid tensions between the west and iran so there is it is a matter of concern here the u. K. Government has been saying that they are concerned that they are calling on iran to deescalate the tensions in the region and let me tell you just how tense this situation was so a British Commercial ship was off the coast sailing off the coast of iran and this was the British Heritage it was accompanied by a ship from the royal navy because of the ongoing tensions and so apparently 3 vessels 3 iranian vessels approached the british British Commercial ship trying to make it change course now according to the u. S. Government officials they had a Surveillance Aircraft in the region and took footage of the incident according to u. S. Officials the Royal Navy Ship into fiats pulled out guns pointed them at the iranian at the 3 iranian vessels and asked them virtually to turn away and this is what happened in the end the iranian vessels turned away but of course a matter of great concern here in the u. K. One u. S. Official calling this arrest a man by the iranians so people see in todays incident as retaliation for britain seen as your last. Well these 2 incidents believed to be linked last week about a week ago a british the British Royal marines seized a an iranian vessel just of the coast of gibraltar this. Territory and this according to u. K. Officials this iranian vessel was carrying oil to syria which is forbidden under e. U. Rules because the e. U. Has sanctions on the assad regime so that iranian vessel was seized responding in return that this was an act of piracy that actually a price would be paid so we can believe that this was an act of revenge or retaliation against the u. K. What weve seen there happening in the morning the u. K. Seems to be very strong position trying to save Iran Nuclear Agreement after the u. S. Withdrew while at the same time. At the same time using the high seas and deploying. Absolutely so diplomatic relations between iran and the u. K. Used to be good when the moderates iranian president Hassan Rouhani took power 1st David Cameron and him got along then theresa may took power here in the u. K. And she actually accused the iranians she took a hostile stands accused the Iranian Regime flaring up tensions being aggressive in the region in regards to syria iraq and lebanon and the iranians did not react well to that so but still the u. K. Is committed to this Iranian Nuclear deal they free pizza thats when the news broke of that iran is actually enriching or you raney im beyond the limit of this nuclear deal they remain committed at this point they are they for iran to stop enriching uranium beyond the limit and this is where were at right now if this incident will in the end change that this commitment we will just have to see ok shot a pulse in london thank you well take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the ukraine has installed a giant metal cover over the destroyed Nuclear Reactor noble structure is meant to contain video active dust from the reactors explosion in 1986 was the worlds worst nuclear disaster. 6 tourists are dead after a powerful storm hit the north of greece scores of people have been injured after a Violent Storm and how could trace a power pylons amongst the dead are a couple who were killed when this when strong winds flipped them bow tie. The u. S. Has launched an investigation into frances planned attacks on Technology Firms the white house says it would unfairly hit American Companies and could prompt washington to impose new tabs on french exports the government in paris as the tax on 30 large firms would raise up to half a 1000000000 euros a year. French quadriplegic man at the center of a whether he should be allowed to die house passed away in hospital doctors remove a salaam band life support more than a week ago against his parents wishes and following a legal battle that divided his family on the country mr mr lambaste spent more than 10 years in a vegetative state following a car crash a prayer vigil has been held for him in paris. Lets get more on this from day to religious fest correspondent martin that got welcome why did this story attract so much attention well i mean friends of euthanasia is continuing life support its legal so this is not something that this was not a battle that was had in the middle of sort of hard discussion about the politics of euthanasia this was more lets settle what did happen was that the family was very divided. Have ahead of the parents of the amount of very very religious got the legs were actually try to find different instances of appeal to stop the process of discounting life support that had originally been attempted in 2011 so i mean this has been going on for a very very long time and finally the french courts have decided that its a matter of fact life support can be discontinued and obviously this has not actually settled the sights of the debate but it has had a clearly settled that result and the Catholic Church did become involved the Catholic Church became involved essentially in the way that that Catholic Church can be involved in a battle that essentially a legal battle they gave so. Forward to the side of the family that opposed to the nature of those was 2 of the siblings of mr and birds and the parents and of course they put pressure sort of in terms of public the public debate you know position to euthanasia but this was something that was upheld in several instances by the french courts ok so that about the point that you touched on your 1st sounds then so as far as a little concerned in front of euthanasia is illegal but passive use of euthanasia as you describe it right so assisted suicide aside is legal in very few cases in europe i mean germany actually being one of them and since very recently but both euthanasia that these that these continuing off life support is something that its virtually in all of europe would i think 3 cases very ambiguous loss you need to leave maybe in portugal and spain if im not mistaken by and large of euthanasia its actually legal and one has the right to demand sation of life support the issue is that even that has to actually go through a process of legal supervision so courts are very often involved when there is a dispute if nobodys its usually the Hospital Medical professionals with the family that make this asian in this case the family those who are both decision made by the hospital could actually go to court and try to review the case and thats exactly what they did. Religious Affairs Correspondent thank you youre welcome. To brazil where the lower house of congress has approved the president jab balls on his landmark over hold of the Pension System he wants to reform to help him plug a big budget deficit the bill far more support from the chamber of deputies than expected. Anticipation on the floor of brazils parliament as the votes are counted. The yes votes in green showed victory for the government. Many see that as a victory for brazil and for the poor. To yash raj therefore who wish these reforms are aimed at reducing inequality. Here to suitable dutch. Years im sure that is the goal of all parliamentarians here occupiers those who voted for and also against the bill. Protesters against the bill like here in sao paolo who are not convinced yet that the form of this reform hurts poor brazilians enormously its a time bomb but were not going to see it immediately. This reform is not going to create employment its not going to create anything its not going to give a cent more for the workers absolutely nothing about the it up so that its not like that then a few years we will see misery on the rise and people who will not be able to retire suppose it that. This man protest to see is the devil. They say the president will work them to death to turn around the economy was the god. They say the money of the little old poor people when the minimum salary that is bringing down the Pension System its not thats why were here. They may be back the bill has a long march into law and it needs a 2nd fight in parliament and then 2 more in the senate. This is data news life and balance still to come that sports dream lives on madagascar and football fever as a National Team for a pass for the quarter finals of the african cup of nations. Well joining the fun. So the European Union is to put Climate Change at the top of its agenda for the next 6 months finland has just assumed the block 6 month rotating presidency the finnish Prime Minister believes the e. U. Should provide Global Leadership on the issue until then says its important to take the demands of europes young people seriously. 16 year old spent many fridays travelling 2 hours each way to protest at the Finnish ParliamentHolding Signs pleading for Climate Action the climate itself wasnt too cooperative as he stood there through the winter its really horrible in front of the its always been the end it will be raining so snow or snow or ice and most of the politicians just go by and dont even look at us. Or say hello and some even come to us but says it was all worth it as Prime Minister until recently has declared solving the Climate Crisis should be europes next heroic act at the very least its the top priority for the finnish e. U. Presidency has credited the youth climate strikers for inspiration got to thank him in person and vice versa i really. Have a listen to their young people have listened and i need to listen more yeah. For backup appointed green politician pick the harvester as foreign minister to press the message in the Foreign Policy arena already overflowing with wars Nuclear Threats and humanitarian disasters harvester knows it will be difficult this pipe. And its a climate and. The silence around the table you can hear the silence in the way that its so surprising but harvesters says its the activists to whom he feels responsible they are pushing the excellent thing. But i think its good we need the Civil Society as opposed to politicians helsinki is determined not to be a hypocrite its maximizing sustainability minimizing Everything Else meetings will all be held in the capital there will be no bottled water mostly plant based meals. Us and e. U. Bureaucrats traveling to finish meetings will receive a unique gift half a 1000000 euros worth of air emission offsets spent on projects in developing countries and yet lycee head of the presidency secretariat says the finnish way is not to lecture but to lead by example we want to be practical and what we promise we want to keep. Says whatever finland achieves is great but its so much more is needed hell be protesting outside the e. U. Meetings rain or shine or sleet or snow. Well take a closer look at this with a touch oh hes a climate expert on this for the Rosa Luxemburg foundation a think tank close to germanys left welcome to dave w. Thank you do you expect to finish e. U. Presidency to make any difference to told a policy i expect the films you presents yesterday that same that the e. U. Has done for the last 3040 years which is to do nothing at all to protect the climate now of course theyll be conversations about targets say maybe climate neutrality by 2050 but as a kind of person said targets in themselves dont reduce emissions you know what reduces emissions is digging up less coal producing fewer cars not expanding fossil Gas Infrastructure was one of the big projects of any of the current e. U. So in essence i dont expect much to happen because nothing has happened over the last that he is and is that because they do believe that this is because there is no waiting lists on behalf on the part of the institution not because theres a fundamental misunderstanding of how Climate Change is produced the European Union seems to believe that you can create Something Like an emissions Trading Market that would fundamentally reduce emissions the thing is we produce Climate Change again by producing cars. With our industrial agriculture by digging up coal with our economic model that goes for infinite growth on a finite planet thats how we produce Climate Change to create an essentially irrelevant policy field Climate Policy and hope that it reduces a problem that is generated by society as a whole is just unrealistic so the problem as a let me let me tell you what i think you think of and you can tell we were wrong to vote as you say is that were essentially where david with politicians because its a hard sell for a politician to say to its electorate were going to close down the pits in your community were going to close down the car factories were going to make people unemployment but your grandchildren and the planet will thank you for it well 2 things i hope we all understand that we already live in a Climate Change world i mean this year in northern germany forest fires erupted in late april now that is not something that should happen so reducing emissions is not something that just benefits future generations it benefits the world now so thats very important to remember that Climate Change isnt about the future its about now secondly id say were talking about what we are is a Growth Society we are a society that has say the only way our lives are going to improve is if we produce more and more stuff and then maybe share around a bit more fanny thats what has to change we need to get away from a system that prioritizes infinite growth on a finite planet except that goes back to the point i just made which i mean youve really addressed yet the vat that you go for growth by producing things and by producing things were producing all the nasty things that you dont like so how does a politician sell unemployment now against Climate Change in the future. We could for example talk about a guaranteed basic minimum minimum income which is something that would allow people in coal regions to adjust for the transition much more easily we should talk about distributing labor time differently so that maybe we all work 20 hours a week not 40 as we do have to ask ourselves some pretty fundamental questions about how we exist on this
