and nothing but propaganda at the same time the british government was in an emergency meeting to come up with a response to what it calls iranian piracy on the open sea on friday iranian revolutionary guard troops ignored warnings from the british navy and seized a british ship in the strait of hormuz the fact that it has taken 3 days for london to announce its response speaks to the few and frustrating options that it has ever since the u.s. withdrew from the iran nuclear deal britain has found itself in an almost impossible position how to help the rest of europe save the nuclear deal while maintaining ties with its most important ally the united states and to make matters more difficult britain is counting on a new trade deal with the u.s. after it leaves the european union later this year so the irony was not lost today when the u.k. said that it will put together a naval protection mission in the strait of hormuz to be led by europe and not connected in any way with the similar alliance that the u.s. is struggling to create because freedom of navigation is a vital interest of every nation we will now seek to put together a european and that maritime protection mission to support the safe passage of both crew and to conquer in this final region we've had constructive discussions with a number of countries in the last will take us and we will discuss later this week the best way to complement this with the recent u.s. proposals in this area or that was the u.k. foreign minister there jeremy hunt let's take this story now to london i'm joined by our correspondent barbara vai's ok good evening to you barbara there is another important part of this story tomorrow we expect to find out who the new u.k. prime minister will be either jeremy hunt who we just saw or boris johnson i mean would you agree that this has to be the worst timing possible. we also know french that is the most likely candidate to step into dunning street 10 downing street on wednesday afternoon is going to be boris johnson and the time he is absolutely horrific because of instead of sort of throwing himself into his favorite topic that is brecht's it and sort of go to europe and sort of the hit everybody around the head and say you now finally have to do what we brits want because i'm boris johnson i'm the new prime minister what she has to do is go cap in hand to paris and to go in and talk to them and say now listen can you come up with anything that swims off flies so we could form convoys in the straits of hormuz and protect the tankers there and so he has to sort of strike is rather to say polite and more or less concerned. no insult against the french for instance we know how much he likes that and he also has to talk to i'm going to marco who is not an easy partner in negotiations like that so it's very difficult 1st day and week for boris johnson likely in all likelihood. do we know how boris johnson would handle the situation with with would it be different from what theresa may has do. we have not the foggiest idea to be truthful because when he was the foreign minister boris johnson healthier a-p. in line he said we want to keep the nuclear deal was iran a life he was very diligent in talking to paris and talking to the linen sort of talking to the of the foreign ministers and trying to keep those diplomatic ties or diplomatic contacts as they where to iran life and he did not try to rock that particular boat bought now he's in a totally different position you already mentioned he does want it trade deal with the united states. so what byrd is johnson under pressure to be ready to sort of throw everything away to sort of go to washington and say listen i sort of. changed sides here i'm going to be was you now and let's sort of beat the iranians over the head was a big stick and i'm your boy. british papers talk about the danger that boris johnson might make britain and to the u.s. pool again we've had this was blair and the iraq war so that would not be very welcome bought we don't know what he's thinking we don't know what's in his head even his closest advisers say we should just have to wait and see what you do take a listen barbara to what the u.k. foreign minister jeremy hunt said today about this proposed maritime protection alliance. he will not be part of the u.s. maximum pressure policy on iran because we remain committed to preserving the iran nuclear agreement. but that's astounding what do you make of the u.k. announcing this maritime protection force in the strait of hormuz they wanted to be led by europe and not to be connected with a similar force led by the united states. and the political will behind this is quite clear i mean britain does as the of the europeans does not want to be drawn into this increasingly and village driven stance that washington shows to its around they don't want to be drawn into a possible military conflict in the region with which would be absolutely horrifying it is so they still trying to sort of keep diplomacy a life they still saying now we really did something for iran we sort of worked it was them for so many years now they should sort of be more conciliatory towards us they should sort of give something back we tried our best and. so they're still clinging to that but the situation objectively of course is dire and in the end they will have to come up with some sort of protection for tanking convoys in the straits of homeless are the voice of oil will not be transported and everybody will hit by that equally difficult situation for the british side because they sort of start this difficult situation by what you already call the tit for tat tanker crisis and also for the other europeans because they know they've won us have to get involved. before we run out of time to talk to me about the irony here britain leaving the european union later this year tonight it is asking europe to help it bridge troll the holy see. yeah it's not all about taking back control i mean you can hardly sort of pronounce this without really start to start laughing because of course britain when it's under pressure it's just a medium sized country on the edge of europe and they of course do need their allies in europe and of course they need to rely on them and then they will have to turn around and say now let's do brics it and now let's be enemies again i mean this is such an impossible political situation is entirely paranoid and what boris johnson will make will make off it there is no telling who knew our correspondent barbara when the story for us tonight in london barbara as always thank you. well you're watching the day still to come. on india on its way to the movie does it also represent the latest launch in a new space race i'll try to find out in just a my. colleagues and guests as they say welcome to the new reality the parliamentary election has taken place you can see the data on the screen as we process preliminary results to put it in 3 months it will show in reality we may be looking at a situation when for the 1st time in the history of independent ukraine we'll have one party in the parliament which will be able to make all the decisions and will have the 2 $126.00 votes to support all their legislative initiatives. are going to shoot in the senate or voters in ukraine went to the ballot box yesterday and made history for the 1st time parliament will be led by one party the party of the new president of a lot of years olinsky the comedian turned president who came to power with the promise of fighting corruption a mandate for change that is that much stronger tonight thanks to yesterday's parliamentary elections so let's take this story now to our correspondent nick connelly he is on the story in the ukrainian capital kiev force good evening to you nic so the president he must be laughing all the way to the parliament building his party controls parliament this should make it very easy for him i would think to get legislation passed to keep his campaign promises will it. well brant these are really uncharted waters for ukraine politics as you mentioned this is a 1st the ukrainian politics the 1st ukrainian president to have an absolute majority in parliament his strategy of pulling those elections forward really banking that honeymoon he had with the voters really seems to have paid off not only that but also he's a rule new p.c. boards palm and not one of his new members of parliament has sat in parliament before you've got a t.v. chef there and a limb pick wrestler a fellow comedian so it's all expected that these people will be fairly plausible and easy to be disciplined compared to political veterans that have been in ukraine's parliament up till no what would you say nick what the parliament's election result was it a strong show of support for zelinsky or was it more of a protest vote against the established. i think this is very definitely still a rejection of the establishment and the status quo the people who have been responsible for ukraine failing to live up to its potential this is a country that has huge huge economic potential but where people are still living much worse off than in neighbors like poland for instance so a huge frustration about sons of living here so let's key has been very careful since he won that presidential election a couple of months ago not to offend anyone in his big electoral coalition as it was to. please everyone to say bring peace to don't bassis proxy walls at the same time not sounding too friendly towards russia he's basically been in campaign mode all this time so i think they're only going to really find out what kind of president selenski will make now after these. elections election observers from the oas see they say that the election this weekend was fair and free however they accuse incumbent m.p.'s of trying to buy votes in order to keep their seats as they've been anything said about that by the president today and i mean this really speaks to how big the problem of corruption in ukraine really years doesn't. there's no getting around the fact that ukraine routinely comes at the bottom of european corruption rankings only russia routinely really doing worse i think the positive takeaway from today is that the old timers trying those tricks vote buying they didn't get away with it they were swept away by this tide of political newcomers that has brought into parliament i think the real test. mettle and his real determination to fight corruption will be how he deals with. the channels made him a star in the 1st place and has been really instrumental with his media resources in helping his political rise to power. used to own ukraine's biggest bank but it was nationalized under the previous government with support from western lenders because it's alleged. billions to buy real estate around the world including in the us if it turns out the business interests are now going to be given preferential treatment of the government the credibility in terms of fighting corruption will obviously be short or correspondent nick connelly on the story for us tonight talking about the fallout from this weekend's parliamentary elections nick as always thank you. well in hong kong it appears to be going from bad to worse over the weekend in thai government protests descended into violence but it all began peacefully as chan's of thousands took to the streets against an unpopular extradition bill that they fear will erode the city the city's all told me as protesters headed for the office of china's communist party police fired on them with rubber bullets and tear gas and in a new development video has emerged showing suspected mafia members attacking demonstrators. i was officious assault gangs of men all dressed in white attacking anti-government protest is on their way home from another huge demonstration. the brutal attack was my streamed on social media showing journalists as well as protest as being beaten as the men rampage through a subway station and on to train this. was. the way i saw somebody bleeding all over the floor in front of me i tried to drag him away but they wouldn't let me i had all sorts of weapons and i came over and attacked me to a little while but i got up and although. i'm not position or make it he was injured claims triad gangstas suggesting the shadowy criminal network was intervening in support of the chinese government. as the dozens of injured received treatment police finally arrived on the scene and what used by witnesses of taking more than an hour to get there despite frantic calls for help so far no arrests have been made on monday from holmes probation lead to carry out condemned the attack that absolutely do not until that horrible violence. and that is that he made his fear of the bombers is not a solution to any problem love and this will only bring more volatile. but other approach has focused back on the nation on the anti-government protesters who threw eggs and paint at china's hong kong liaison office. once again protesters clashed with police well into the night. such and it should be so the only condemns and i think these reporters look look still these provocative actions which we see who's the don't make the relationship between social capital and hold i guess it is the closeness of that relationship that pro-democracy protesters are worried about that concerns have expanded beyond the controversial extradition bill as fears grow that democratic freedoms are being eroded fears that would only be stoked by the unchecked intervention of suspected criminal gangs. well it's 2nd time lucky for india's lunar mission monday's launch brings in the year closer to its goal of becoming the 4th country ever to land a spacecraft on the mood after the united states russia and most recently china the chandrayaan to be
