A mouthpiece for beijing urges china to take direct action. On the new gets under way with some thrilling matches in prospect and been exposed to banning tonights stuff in fact paid for 8 consecutive titles they expect to be tested. Im from galle welcome to the program Iranian Oil Tankers preparing to set sail from gibraltar after being held since july the british territory has released the grace one despite a last minute legal bid by the United States to keep it in detention the vessel saddled on suspicion of carrying irena oil to syria in violation off a huge. U. S. Sanctions a charge that iran denies after the grace was captured iran van seized a british flagged tanker in the strait of hormuz of the gateway to the persian gulf so will the british time be released the w correspondent reza tropper is on the island in the strait of hormuz. Assessment of the british tanker has already been moved from the place where it was detained in the strait of hormuz a couple of weeks ago closer to the port in bandar abbas where the revolutionary guards are controlling everything and thats a place we have foreign specifically us journalists cannot go to as we were told to not quote and danger proceedings so apparently theyre still preparing for an exchange but we have to keep in mind that the revolutionary guards in iran as a whole do not have a lot of trust in the United States or the United Kingdom so before the iranian vessel in gibraltar its not free in peril here in the persian gulf will not be released either irans foreign minister zarif said. To stop the release of the tanker was an attempt piracy move so he said washington was abusing the International Legal system to steal iranian property and that is if you sat by many iranians weve spoken to some people here from ireland and they said they do not want a conflict to happen with other countries not here in their region and not elsewhere but that they are willing to step up and defend their own country if necessary so that is why everybody here in the persian gulf is monitoring very closely what is happening in. Serious trouble reporting from there out of the question in the strait of hormuz lets take a closer look at this with dr simon mabon hes a political analyst specializing in the middle east studies and International Relations of the university of lancaster in the u. K. Welcome to d. W. So the tank is now free to say oh its been moved but its still there whats the hold up. Well i guess it depends who you believe and who youre asking the question to there are holes from a piece of jesting but there are perhaps some mechanical issues with the tanker which is meant that the captain himself has said that he sees not willing to sail the ship or perhaps that this is this is one of the hold ups not the most suspicious minded might suggest that well this is actually a case of subterfuge is the United States trying to insert influence trying to prevent the tanker from leaving and trying to reassert its its strongly and to reigning position when it seemed that diplomacy was winning and that that the ship would be released through diplomatic measures so we have 2 ships now having been seized in the strait we have a number of other ships are having being holed beneath the water line what is the state of shipping now in this in this important shipping lane. Well obviously its incredibly precarious right now we know the 5th around a 5th of the worlds oil supplies go through the strait of hormuz each day so its got a huge impact on the Global Economy and Global Supply chains but obviously theres theres a great deal of concerned with these these ships these tankers being seized and with the tanker incident earlier this summer but i would argue that if the ships are released if the 1st the iranian tanker and then the british tanker released that not could potentially signal a more positive move a could signal a more sort of responsible and period of restraint in the gulf given that this seems to be this deescalation of tensions this human of course that the ships are released if theyre not there could lead to an increased tensions so i guess we just have to wait and see how the things play out in the next day or 2 east is there likely to have been a deal done one ship for the of. Its quite possible i mean id imagine that there have been but channels that have been opened that there has been dialogue between the british and the iranians to try and sort out how this can play out without things escalating further i mean either the british know the iranians want to come to spite of what United States might think so i would imagine that has been dialogue and that would suggest that the british would release this this tanker 1st and then in response a reciprocal move would be the iranians releasing the british tanker that would be the logical thing and that could easily come about through a bit of diplomacy and a bit of diplomatic wrangling good talking to you clear as ever dr simon mabon from the university of la castor thank you now to zimbabwe that police have used tear gas and Water Cannons against the antigovernment protesters in the capital harare more than 100. 00 opposition supporters demonstrated despite a police ban which the high court upheld protesters supporting zimbabwes Opposition Movement for Democratic Change accuse the government of corruption and mismanagement the struggling economy.

China appears to be getting ready to take direct action against protesters in hong kong after a newspaper a few days a mouthpiece for beijing back to the intervention of the global times said if hong kong cannot restore the rule of law on its own it is imperative for the Central Government to take direct action the paper also insists there would be no repeat of the chinaman square massacre of 989. 00 the chinese on fire on protesters in beijing chinese owned police carried out drills in the border on the border with hong kong had a fresh protest that have already begun. D. W. Correspondent Charlotte Chelsea was in hong kong she sent to see some updates as the territory enters the 11th weekend of protests. Thousands of people are once again gathered in this iconic Hong Kong Congress evening this is the 1st in a number of protests planned over the weekend this one is being called the stand with hong kong power to the people who protest the organizes a demanding that the u. K. And the u. S. Take action in solidarity with this prodemocracy movement now a lot of people are going to be watching the events of this weekend very closely that is after a big turning point on tuesday nights when 2 men were detained and assaulted by protesters at the airports protests and then issued an apology saying that they believe that the 2 men were chinese infiltrators they say that theyve learned from their mistakes they want these protests Going Forward to remain as peaceful as possible but the trouble is of course this is a Leaderless Movement thats been a big strength of the protest movement is also a weakness is there are small factions factions of protesters who do plan on becoming more aggressive protesters here say the events of this weekend will also depend on beijing any action they take and of course the actions of police who protesters say that become increasingly violent over recent weeks. A fellow chelsea in Hong Kong Well social media haas played an Important Role in the protests activists have been using apps like twitter and telegram to organize around isnt informed protestors about time states and places now theyre getting more creative to try to drive widen their reach you know we report about the richest can tell us more welcome back and what sort of tools were talking about when you mention the telegram tool now people are continuing to use that messaging app it works a little similarly to whatsapp but the benefit of telegram is of course it is not trackable you can set it up with a fake name if you like and. Not linked to a phone number or any particular account so thats obviously beneficial but now the police are cracking down on protesters at the sites and whatever cracking down on them spreading information part is the having to think outside the box to keep the momentum and spread of information one novel way is they using the dating at tyndall people were very familiar with the world over us white rights white left people in hong kong have been using the app to show their support for the movement by adding hash tags to their profiles or political slogans like these ones here some people are even using the political slogans as their profile pictures and this is more to show support and keep momentum rather than a way to actually organize any events but a telegram intended just the tip of the iceberg another thing that protesters have been using has become really popular is i think it may not be as fermented to people that say its an. Inbuilt in the i phone and now its a great way for reaching people who dont use social media for older people people who arent as tactics having for instance you dont have to download it you dont even have to be on the internet but uses bluetooth to create a peer to peer network and its crypted so the only thing with it is its really its a bit like leafleting in the old days i suppose because its actually only for people that are in your proximity so if its a feature if its turned on anyone can send you a message and people here if they even can open them and say photos and videos and protesters reaching beyond fellow hong kong as yes thats right theyre trying to target tourists and especially tourists from Mainland China now the protests have been really sensitive coverage of the protests unsurprisingly think quite sense that in china the protesters are targeting them too and using this feature its really handy because it gets around the china wall that some chinese might have if they use Chinese Telecom providers some of the images are designed to look and feel a bit like propaganda from beijing but when you look closely you realize that the message is actually and Chinese Government yes so its a really great tool for that research thank you. This is the w. News live from that and still to come the new book is very good football season starts tonight and barguti shaky in preseason well find out why after the battle hard for the record 8th consecutive time. I had a vast leaders of nations at risk from rising sea levels in the Pacific Ocean have failed to agree on a new Climate Change commitments meeting of the states into fallujah hopes to help limit rising temperatures but australia the worlds biggest a coal exports blocked a binding agreement in order to protect its economy. The half hearted handshake says it all theres nothing to be proud of here instead of a compelling global call to action the Pacific Island forum concluded with a watered down plan that opposing nations can easily opt out of the frustrated host scrambles for conciliatory words everybody should move together in the family spirit of the 4 i think that. Its no use to start ups to the blade being gay. But all fingers are pointing towards australia and its Prime Minister scott morrison. Of the 15 most climate vulnerable states on the planet 7 are in the Pacific Region in order to protect them the leaders were hoping the forum would commit to action to limit temperature rises and agree to an immediate halt to coal mining these hopes for quickly dampened by the regions powerhouse. We as christians very strongly giving no exchange and states be treated be unschooled as though you are concerned about saving new economy. A situation in australia conserves about saving my people into both likewise the leaders of others of his reach moral compass morrison has long championed his countrys lucrative coal industry he concedes Climate Change is real but insists it can be managed in a way that doesnt hurt his economy. Because try to cancel 1. 3 percent of the will to missions astride you. Want to start one on them. And if were serious about it wed better actually understand that emissions dont have a nationality and with the bulk of emissions come from thats whats threatening the worlds moment but at this point its also australias actions or the lack of them that are jeopardizing the future of millions of People Living in the pacific structure our responsibility morris and wont be able to walk away from. Also under threat from rising Global Temperatures the vast regions powa frost is thawing and releasing Greenhouse Gases into the atmosphere if this continues it could spell disaster locally and around the planet but one scientist is testing a new method that he believes could reverse the trend and keep siberia frozen. 240 kilometers above the Arctic Circle its summertime in the Russian Arctic at 1st glance the natural surrounding here seems healthy but russian scientists sergei seem of disagrees here at the bank of the cooling ma river he shows us how siberia is permafrost is melting. At one sure as the microbes here have been sleeping almost 50000 years when they wake up they will immediately start eating and will be producing Carbon Dioxide we have so many microbes if they all thought out europes climate would become intolerable. The arctic permafrost is key to the worlds climate it contains twice as much carbon as is found in the earths atmosphere if it follows climate damaging gases will be released and this frozen layer is melting more quickly than previously believed in order to protect the permafrost sergei similar wants to revive the ice age in an area about the size of lifton stein together with his son nikita he has been cutting down trees planting primeval grasses and introducing grazing animal herds.
