Watchdog says the president misled parliament over a campaign donation. And the netherlands highest court rules there are scenes of jubilation in algeria. [cheers] senegal has the algerians take second for the title. Anchor the u. K. Says iran has seized two oil tankers, one british flag, the other british owned, in the state of for moose. State of hormuz. Earlier, the british said it was captured because it was not complying with International Maritime laws. The company that manages the vessel said they had been unable to contact the vessel that was heading north towards iran. An Iranian News Agency says the second vessel hahas now been allowed to leave iranian waters after and given a warning. This comes on the same day a Court Granted gibraltar the right to detain an Iranian Oil Tanker for another 30 days. Authorities in the british territory accuse iran of trying to smuggle oil into syria in breach of international sanctions. Iran denies the allegations, and some into ron intent ron in tehran threatened to seize british ships in retaliation. Iranian state tv claims to have obtained footage of a drone the u. S. Claims to have destroyed. It contradict u. S. President Donald Trumps claim on thursday that the u. S. Warship shot down the drone in the strait of hormuz. Trump said the action was defensive because the drone came within 900 meters of the vessel and subsequently ignored calls for it to stand down. We are following a story closely with our correspondence in the ehran,n capital of t also in washington. Informationny more today . Sequence of events obviously you have two tankers, one british flagged, the other british owned, but different developments. Yes, we have heard from the revolutionary guards Media Relations department. They released a statement saying they have indeed seized the british flag tanker, the stena impero, because they say there was an incident, according to local officials in the Southern Province where this vessel hit a fishing boat, and therefore there was a series of warnings given to the vessel, but no reply. It was apparently also traveling in the wrong direction and had turned off all tracking devices. The Iranian Revolutionary guard maritime units have said that they gave a few warnings, there was no response, and they decided to seize it. They have since taken the vessel to a port city with 23 crew members on board. We are waiting to find out the nationalities of those crew members and what the iranians are going to do next. This is something the iranians were not prepared to do. They were angry about the seizure earlier this month in the strait of gibraltar, a ship carrying 2 Million Barrels of oil. It was seized because it was headed to syria, but the iranians said that was not the destination and are demanding the release of the great swan tanker. We are also having contradictory stations from iran and the United States about the destruction of an iranian drone with explicit iranian denials now followed up by footage that has been aired that they say disproves trumps claims. Dorsa yes, apparently does footage that aired a few hours ago by the revolutionary guards Aerospace Division shows a surveillance drone. Apparently this is standard procedure for this unit in the. Trait of hormuz when any foreign vessels enter, the iranian guard sends out drones to monitor the movements of the ships. This was the case on thursday morning. This rome was sent out where it uss very close to this boxer vessel, and the iranians said for over 300 hours, they monitored the Ships Movement and got very close and tracked all the equipment that was on the vessel as well. The revolutionary guard said there was no point at which there was any confrontation between the drone and this u. S. Warship. They said that the claims made by the u. S. Government are absolute lies and that this drone returned to its base without any incidents. They released footage has evidence to show what u. S. President donald trump said earlier is an absolute lie. Maryam thank you for the latest from tehran. U. S. President donald trump says he now intends to reach out to the u. K. To discuss the latest situation in the gulf. Trump we will talk to the u. K. , and we have no written agreement, but we have an agreement. They are a great ally. We heard it was one, they heard it was two. We will be working with the u. K. They have a new Prime Ministers soon, which is a good thing. We have no written agreement, but i think we have an agreement it is longstanding. Maryam roland jordan joins us now. Clearly the u. S. Is waiting into s increasingly increasing dispute between the u. K. And iran. How likely is it to ratchet up tensions even more . It certainly is not helping the situation. This is all happening on a day when u. S. Officials had indicated they were going to unveil a plan where u. S. Navy vessels will escort commercial vessels in the gulf in order to protect them from what the u. S. Considers iranian harassment. That recitation did not happen on friday, as u. S. Officials had indicated they would do. Where thesituation secretary of state, mike pompeo, said during a press availability in buenos aires on friday that the u. S. Is very much watching iranian behavior, but that it is still very much interested in resolve the iran to u. S. s concern about Irans Nuclear ambition. The president , in that commentary that you just shared, askedndicated that he had a u. S. Senator to help be involved with any potential so but so far this is far there is not anything concrete actually being pursued. But the underlying message from the United States is that the emphasis is still on trying to resolve this crisis diplomatically, even though the u. S. Is very keene to underscore that it has the military power to try to force a resolution if it did come to that, whether or not it would be popular with the International Community or u. S. Citizens themselves is a whole other discussion to be had. Maryam thank you very much, roslyn jordan bringing us reaction. We want to discuss this further with a senior fellow at the center for American Progress and a former u. S. Assistant secretary of defense. Clearly an escalation of intentions over oil tankers in the gulf. Ae we likely to see continuation of these Close Encounters between iranian, u. K. , and u. S. Military forces . I think we will, because obviously iran else they had to seizingto the u. K. Their tanker last week by claiming it violated eu sanctions about sending oil to syria. Senty, since we said the drone over toward iran, which they shot down about a month ago, im not surprised that they have drones monitoring u. S. Ships. I think as this goes on, the u. S. Ought to do what it did in the 1980s, reflecting a lot of these tankers to make sure the tonians dont continue attack them, because then they would be attacking the United States. But eventually this thing we have to be careful it does not get out of hand. [indiscernible] but some of these things could is not onuse the irgc the same page as foreign in er is a reef, who is zarief, who is inz new york. Maryam while negotiations seem a distant prospect, given the gap between these two sides, could the tensions in the gulf perhaps be another way of securing as much leverage as possible ahead of some sort of dialogue . There is no doubt about it, because the iranians dont want to come back to the table unless the sanctions are lifted, because they are causing horrible albums in iran problems in iran. On the other hand, the United States wants to get some indication from iran that they would be willing to make some modifications, for example, on the ballistic missiles. It is important that we get back to the negotiating table. The french have tried. The japanese have tried. Maybe we can get the russians involved, because they are obviously deeply involved in syria, and they like the arms control agreement. We need that. The only good thing here is trump does not want a war because his supporters are telling him, if you do this, it is going to hurt your election chances, because he campaigned to get us out of these middle east wars. Maryam President Trump may not want a war, but the problem is key members of his cabinet such as john bolton dont reticular the want negotiations either. Particularly want negotiations either. Lawrence they dont, but go back to north korea, when the president went to see chairman kim. John bolton was in mongolia. He took his family. I dont think he pays as much attention as president s normally would to their National Security team. In fact, he has said that several times. Have political cover with the neoconservatives, but the president says he is a great dealmaker, and if both sides can come to a facesaving way to start the negotiations, i think we will be ok. But i do worry about an accidental conflagration with , or seizingexample the ships that could get out of hand. Maryam thank you for joining us. Lawrence thank you for having me. Maryam in other developments, donald trump is blaming fake news for the backlash against racist chance at his Campaign Rally in north carolina. There has been an outpouring of ipport for johan omar lhan omar after supporters chanted send her back. After trying to distance himself was the chants, trump back to attacking omar again when he spoke to reporters in the oval office earlier. With trump im unhappy the fact that a congresswoman can hate our country. Im unhappy with the fact that a congresswoman can say antisemitic things. With the fact that a congresswoman, in this case a different congresswoman, can call our country and people garbage. Those people in north carolina, that stadium was packed, a record crowd, and i could have felt it 10 times, as you know. Those are incredible patriots, but i am unhappy when a congresswoman goes, im going to be the president s nightmare. Shes going to be the president s nightmare. Is. Is lucky to be where she the thing she has said are a disgrace to our country. Maryam much more still ahead. A Prime Minister resigns for a second time after not answering questions about war crimes.

South africans corruption watchdog says it found president rama posa misled parliament about the donation to his campaign fund. He says he knew nothing about a ready 5000 other donation while vying for the top job, but the Prosecutor Says he was lying. Posa camezero rama into office vowing to fight corruption. We must fight corruption. Must fight fraud and collusion as well as in the private sector with the same intensity that we want to fight it in the public sector. But the public to protect her deliberately misled her lament when answering questions about Campaign Donations made two years ago. The Deputy President of south africa at the time received a donation of 55,000 when he was running for president of the African National congress. But he told congress it was for a foundation. It turns out there is no foundation. The president issued a correction saying the money was for his own campaign and he did not know about it. I have come to the conclusion that the allegations relate to the suspension of money laundering. Himself tont exposed the risk of a conflict between his private interest and official responsibilities. Reporter the Public Protector has evidence that as much as 20 million was channeled through various accounts linked to ramaphosa. She says ramaphosa should have declared the donations to avoid a conflict of interest. She wants both the president and a ceo, kevin watson, investigated for money laundering. Laundering. This has gone into the realm of criminal justice. The Public Protectors verdict says rama posa will have to declare ramaphosa will have to declare all donations to his campaign within 60 days. The president says he will make a decision on any further action. Corruption continues to be an issue. Ramaphosas president facing a scandal of his own, his predecessor, president jacob zuma, is appearing somewhat reluctantly before a commission of acquiring interstate corruption during his nine years in office. His fourth day of testimony after withdrawing from proceedings, saying he was being treated unfairly, but later said he would return to the witness stand. While South Africans are looking for answers, the promise of a corruption free south africa appears to be elusive. Al jazeera, south africa. Joining us is a Political Science professor at the university of south africa. Thank you for speaking to us on the newshour. As we were hearing the report that corruption appears to be the biggest challenge facing the anc right now, how serious are these allegations against president ramaphosa . These allegations are very corruption hase been one of the major issues in the recently held elections in may 2019, and it was one of those issues that the campaign , largely an anticorruption ticket. These allegations are very serious. Nature that can upset, in terms about the party and his popularity out there, especially for those people who felt ramaphosa would be cleaning the mess created by his predecessor. Maryam in terms of jacob zuma and his appearances in court, there are those who say he has been unfairly targeted, that he is not being treated fairly. Also, there are supporters of ramaphosa who say the allegations are politically motivated. How would you describe the general sentiment among the broader public in south africa . How did the how do they view this . There is divided public opinion. There are supporters who believe that he is being unfairly targeted and victimized, that he is a victim of what he himself ,alls political conspiracy going as far back as the 1990s. Those who believe there is a e are still adamant that play the he cannot victim in what, in their view, are justifiable allegations. Maryam you have elections coming up in 2021, National Elections shortly after that. Does that give the anc a few years to repair this damage . In my view, it gives the anc very little time to repair the damage. Already we have seen the impact of the damage the effect of the damage in the previous nine years of president jacob zuma. When the anc failed to achieve 60 of theirer voter turnout. Theret extent, i think will be little time between the local government and the elections of 2021 and the National Elections in 2023. Party is said to have factions. These factions are very difficult to repair. One would have thought there would be a scandal in terms of the latest accusations of president ramaphosa. This will give him time at least to put the party together, bring it together and make sure he brings unity. Many believe the party has been on a downward spiral since jacob zuma. Maryam thank you for joining us. Thank you. Maryam the Netherlands Supreme Court has ruled that dutch peacekeepers are partly liable for the death of 350 muslim refugees they handed over to bosnian forces in 1995. The case is graham breaking and might set an International Legal president for countries that have peacekeeping operations. The court also reduced the degree of liability from early 30 ent to 10 , from to 10 . Reporter the mothers have fought for more than two decades for justice. They were bitterly disappointed. I am shaken. I am surprised. I will never forgive them. In july 1995, a crisis became a massacre. Thousands of terrified muslim civilians crammed into the u. N. Compound seeking refuge. When Serbian Forces entered, dutch u. N. Peacekeepers were outgunned and outnumbered. Men and women were separated, and nearly 8000 men and boys were taken away and murdered. The Supreme Court case focused men that dutch peacekeepers had handed over to the serbs despite knowing they would probably be murdered. They knew the man only had a 10 chance of survival, even if they had been allowed to stay inside the u. N. Compound. The state bears limited responsibility in the case of the mothers. To 10 bility is limited of the damages suffered by the remaining relatives of 350 male refugees who were staying at the compound. Reporter the dutch case is regarded as groundbreaking in establishing that governments can be held liable if the peacekeepers on you in missions failed to protect civilians during armed conflicts. What it has also been legally controversial, and the dutch advocate general had called the liability irrational. The claimants claim it is the 10 that is irrational. They admitted 10 of liability, but that still means they admitted responsibility. The Defense Ministry and their government are responsible for genocide. It does not matter 1 , 10 , or 100 , they are responsible. Reporter it is not clear what level of compensation the relatives might finally get. That will be decided in a separate court case. Paul brennan, al jazeera. Maryam kosovos Prime Minister is resigning a second time because he is due in front of a worm crimes court in the netherlands next week.

Pinks why this house, the one, has to be demolished, but the one behind it, just as close to the fence, was built before the law was enforced, so apparently it cant be considered a security risk. Israel demolishing palestinian homes is not unusual. Researchers say 538 of what israel calls unauthorized structures were knocked down last year. But illegal president is being set. It is the first time demolition orders have been issued for 16 properties built with permits from the Palestinian Authority on land in its sole administration.
