A lot of addition there were people like the month before there was the need to get Drinking Alcohol so the problem is not the stand the problem is the money big the problem is the do you feel the problem is money in the are both are the feelings that we did and did not do as politician and as media also that that make them feel that those people so its clear that from the society so they were just like really enough to be on board it in some in some extreme areas. But could this just be an adult i want to find some hard evidence. So we arrived at the Free University of brussels. And were trying to see very is the office of. Dr karim karim has been studying the experiences of muslims in belgium including discrimination and radicalization. Here this. What were observing versions that if you have more oaken or turkish or freekn backgrounds you have between 20 and 30 percent less genes to get a job. Even if you have a night or degree is there any date and what is your explanation for those people who are 2nd and 3rd generation for turning to a more radicalized version of islam we arent in societies which have difficulties to provide and to produce sense we always see that there is no more difference between left and right they are answering questions sometimes in very. Many care and white and black. Ways to deal with answers but there are answering these issues and answer they are providing sense and if we dont understand things we are not going to slide into an instance of this idea into topic. And could we explain the recent rise of europes far right in the same way as a desperate search for signs. Across europe opel is in a fog parties are the rising political force. In austria president ial candidate gore but author stopped on to refugee sentiment. You know leaving like he was leading by. Even in germany the alternative a few doj one party are now winning seats in the regional parliament. In an attempt to eliminate the many parties of the center of the op that theyre sort of for be sure one of the canonical because all too many have to perfect extraordinary. Force sport anymore somebody the lesser of the small they farm a little into. Extremist. You know. But france is broke up and didnt neutralize the anti immigration front. Instead it helped legitimize their leader marie le pen who is now a serious contender for the next president ial election. If she wins shes pledged to take france out of the new. Its easy to dismiss the supporters of the far right as ignorant racist but the current reality is much more complex. In slovenia and 2 refugee sentiment has boosted the far right. But its a simple for the put price says philosopher sluggish if he got one day for you. With this. I think it is optional clee coup sure for example when you talk about caught off new. Immigrants and so on did you read eat as a seemed dumb as a reaction of what dish but i wont in todays speak global capitalism dead sticky dont moralize dont just accuse ordinary people how can they be shallow and so once mission i can dont tell me understand a french ordinary worker who feels threatened dont talk just. Properly but the question what went wrong in society that opened up the space for immigrant rights you. Know because possibly europe smokes and afford the park. And the turks largess in the hunger in parliament but this is. Like a shock when you meet the little one that i was theyve met people youre going to go to is that somebody that knew you when i was there that talk got actually settled which was a lot going to look at me. So i was a little bit for you know any. Be up for something new. And like most of europes far right alongside their intolerance of foreigners france promises of economic picture. After 26 years of transition from communism hungary remains one of the poorest countries of the e. U. There are still nearly 1000000 people living. In homes without electricity and heating. In europe because young leader goblet will not staring. Forward when a woman a woman accruals going door to call you are on the lookout you can show up early because she has little to look was actually cause more than you got the shag she got a leash. When you got the t. Get over your mouth but im going to be nice to get some out of my divorce i was a. Unique mike how do you explain this success of your big in 100 year we get up to the year or so im going to go to battle or my my good ridiculing 30 some of you young not as id year. Normally does a number to get them. Back east at the lambs a chef. Short of your one there are side going to live in what your apartment at the all of. Your big damn about what. It is that you would actually follow she just the way youll be good to you because i would have been one where youre my door so im going to. Go to saudi 20 off to see that he has a just for me but i dont shock a shochet when i told of china ill show. I mean best that she does any good from bad i mean heat. And it would get it i think as does a lot if you met with the saudi prince i didnt like in other parts of fuel your big success has pushed under his Prime Minister viktor orban for to the right. Of s. C. Trying to get your head out he took us around at that what i meant to be starstruck. See you from there get the polish on usually its more got a problem when im sad because when i got the itch. So in 2015 or better built a fence to keep the refugees far out of hungary i moved many well from. Other countries across europe quickly followed and the borders were sealed. And i met my. Wife. This is post fascism says hungary and political scientists cash the time which. I do form of the ideology that can operate within fee markets and democracy. The classic condition that this coming this time from the right. It is very successful. In which public opinion. Accepts. That there isnt in and then out theres an interior theres an exterior and even there remain the old left is defending the ins. Rejecting the house and in that respect. Even the center left is being conquered by this logic basically in economic terms merely bill ism on the one hand is accepted. Of the enemy towards the east. Call it russia will call it is lawns accepted. And the abandonment of the. Unemployed a ill. That such populations within even the ct countries excepted. But if we accept the logical pincer now. If you create another to blame for our economic tailors. Are we not also creating the conditions for outer italian fascism. Closer for agnes heller whose father was killed in auschwitz thinks we need reminding about europes bloody past european leaders were totally blind and even have had their forgot about the european past europe into 20 a century has emerged that 100000000. 00 europeans or European Countries who are either dictatorship or subjected themselves to dictatorships either now to some of us fascism or stalin yes and so matthew meaning democracy in europe this goal almost nothing and even after checking for a divorce when you were a democracy start at the developed invest and europe they developed all invest that was the case has been in portugal in greece ever dictatorships a democrat liberal democracy is no euro and they pretended that it was our tradition it was centuries soil which was it not. Where it currently is increasing people get to share it share. Nobody yet at this point to you but today im going to say is fantastic the moment economy does not feel that. Problems then immediately it is for link up are people not people trying to take or for their food and clothes and lead the new clothes on a stronger man our song. And its not just in europe that people are turning to socalled strong men in the hope of economic protection. Ever deceptive that may turn out to be. But the anger and frustration at europes financial colonization also took a very different for. A recent example of it is to be found in paris. When president all try to introduce a new law that was as french labor rights and makes war more precarious. The usual demonstrations lead to something else. Look at pace. For the last 2 months hundreds of activists have gathered here every evening for what they call they believe that. The night stand it im going to ask you to say yes you got. Me something i. Heard stories of the centuries the General Assembly where up to 5000 people gathered to discuss how to solve problems. The refugee crisis to pick areas for and their higher. Even undivided terms that. Such an occupation has different committees a committee for ecology kmita for economy meeting for legal matters and so on. They conceptualize discuss different proposals already yes and then they come with the proposals and the ideas to the General Assembly. And then at the General Assembly all of them together in the process of their liberation they decide on the next. Economy committee wanted to be interviewed together what are the topics you are specifically your group dealing with that the Economy Commission 1st of all commission is 2 hour or 2 people to be appropriate do you try to devote debates which is started by you its not. Why do you think it makes sense to gather here and you know at this square there is rain calling and so on if we have already parliamentary democracy in parliaments and institutions. And members want to do good to blast the 1st good offer to look down in mali no. Downside to the place. And when you take. Your piece of paper mr patel. You know. Its all up and plugs and he really. Does want to do Community Good for going online will be just that there will be seats on the issues. In a pretty. Good. Case if you think you know. What people are liking in representative mike democracy to put it very simple east representation they dont feel represented the people. Joining the. Most of them said you know i dont even go to vote anymore because i dont want to vote for a london i dont want to ban it they realise that the real power is not even any more in the National Governments the real power is that the europe will. Be in the European Commission European Central Bank Institutions where all of these people who are here tonight are not represent. The goal. Its the same realisation that sparked the 2000 the level of resistance which spread from sin that must carry the. Words of the soul in spain across europe to bulgaria romania selenium and even for asia. The meat in bosnia the citizens assemblies went beyond making easy to satisfy demands and like all colonial resistance movements demanded the right to rule themselves. What you can see in the European Union today is that we have at least 2 directions one directions we can see in hungary and in other countries where we have the rise of fascist right wing extremist movements what we can see in paris today is that we have also an attempt of direct democracy which is not linked to right wing extremism but it is linked to the critique of the labor law which was the trigger for for this process it is linked to the Solidarity Movement to try to help the refugees and he said it is a creation of a new political image a nation. And in part 2 we look at where dead could take us. Every armed attack in europe creates fear and division amongst its citizens where stories of loss go on told. A sweeping association of islam with violence leaves erupt in muslims facing the stock reality of being ostracized by the very communities in which they live love and moon the tragic loss of life. Twice a victim on aljazeera. News is happening faster than ever before from different places from different people and you need to be part of bats you need to be able to reach people wherever they are and that means being across all social media platforms this is where our audience lives as well as in front of a t. V. Theyre on the smartphone theyre on the tablet theyre on the news and. Abets the way aljazeera is of all due to a true media network. Hello im sure in tehran and in the top stories around jazeera police in gibraltar have a rest of the captain and chief officer of an iranian tanker that was seized by british marines last week it was stopped on suspicion of breaking e. U. Sanctions by taking to syria new developments following u. K. Allegations that iranian vessels tried to impede a British Oil Tanker in the strait of hormuz dating to an intervention by a british warship iran though denies any such confrontation took place the British Foreign minister says the u. K. Doesnt want to increase tensions in what is one of the worlds most Important Oil shipping channels. Well were very concerned this is a very serious escalation of the situation. You know we are proud that the wrong navy was there to protect our heritage. But we are monitoring the situation very closely we dont want to escalate tensions we want tensions to come down the u. N. Human Rights Council has agreed to begin a preliminary investigation into what it calls a Staggering Number of murders in the Philippine Governments socalled war on drugs its accusing president been citing violence against drug dealers as well as intimidating judges and degrading women Human Rights Watch estimates at least 12000. 00 filipinos have been killed since to test his Campaign Began in 2016. France has passed a tax bill targeting tech giants like google apple and facebook the 3 percent tax affects any Judicial Company with revenue of at least 844000000. 00 of which at least 28000000 is made in france but the u. S. Says it unfairly targets their companies and President Donald Trump has ordered an investigation into the potential effects. Police have fired gunshots and tear gas to disperse a demonstration by a shia group in nigerias capital hundreds of members of the Islamic Movement of nigeria gathered outside parliament in a bugger to demand the release of their leader whos been in detention says 2015. Person years at least one and a half 1000. 00 trees have been destroyed in attacks by Israeli Settlers they were set on fire in burren south of nablus according to the un nearly go settlers have destroyed more than 4000 olive trees since the start of 2019 as the headlines europes been economy continues next. 2 2 2 2 2 this is my old mole that i like to call it the thought that death thought popped through we all saw the movie what we did member how it and the movie. Start it was the power of the people to take over ok its the only shit beat i made it to shame my mom got into slavery ok shes dead but even if she will be alive to feel im called the thought of and day at that too but what happened then ok people take over what you lost how do they change this state what did they go. Its a great question and maybe one that political to recontact. Maybe instead the answer is to be found in how ordinary people are coping with the crisis. In greece some of the energy from syntagma square has come here. What we can see here looks like a very ordinary market think seem like any other market in europe you can see people selling people selling for 50 sterling cheese. But its not an ordinary market its a very unique market. A complete economy was being created in greece because of the financial crisis. Its called the no middle men movement and its a response to greeces powerful supermarkets who try to increase prices while paying farmers less so some decided to cut out the middleman and sell basics like eggs and potatoes directly to the people. The big difference is customers order everything you know the ones true the organizers and come here before picking up their goods. And exchanging Shopping Habits as people grouped together to buy cheaply in bulk. Its visit today was not an auction business not show business goes and usually we would like 1000. 00 of them would be on really you know one month on what is the amount of money which is circulating do you know if its because. You have. Your own 16 russian he said you have less than 54 to 500 because people are often very very short on the monitors were getting worse and theyre just getting worse because of the crisis. The Community Run market also asks everyone to help support those in need because the producers have to give a percentage of the sales in food. Workers the percentage they get a voucher i think. So this is the basket of solidarity all of you know that come in but not from the producers everyone of the consumer who comes here may if your she wants. Some formed. When theres more than this movement of solidarity started we had just 10 families now after for. Those. We have 140 families. So no no no and we dont want the state because this is a. Movement of people of peoples who have the power. They feel the power back they couldnt rely anymore on the government and on the other case they didnt want to sell their goods to the supermarkets. Particularly interesting as someone who was born in yugoslavia. We should experiment to be told called self management socialism is that all of this functions as a kind of self management older when you speak to the people. They wouldnt describe themselves as socially. You see such things it gives us hope that include opinion things football differently. You can see why the no middle men movement wants to stand apart from the state but to bring about large scale change done citizen led movements need to be braver. I mean humble germany the heart of the european empire to hear about one such movement thats profoundly changed the city. Germany has a very active Environmental Movement as demonstrated in actions like this one in 2010. It was a protest against what in fact the Swedish Company had allowed repeated accidents to cure at nearby Nuclear Power plants 120000. 00 people joined hands to link the 2 power stations together a distance of over 100 kilometers. After that protest some workers felt empowered to take on powerful companies as well as the state under the leadership of the huns. We came here very. Evident and im im stunned yet many of humble even just form on one last time over the last one to get across and to say yes to the time. Such a thing was previously in private ownership right yeah and. Read. Up on new day to stephanys not yeah. Into 990. 00 s. That you urged countries to liberalize calls for privatized their energy markets. See this button fall took over much of germanys Energy Supply including cumbersome electricity grid. Until they because campaign convinced the city to buy back. It isnt that after this you know more than one time via intel isnt. Undersheriff and as i met. This is and thats right israel will damage home via one in 10000. 00 on their school because im just so i just prefer them folks in charge given fear not from 50000. 00 to do. And what were the main arguments of the complaint. The nets are innocent john paul fundament busy friday in the event i know that some can you know even a santa complex has a home on the net search by and if it didnt know color orange doesnt. Trouble as a better fit in for the office when it doesnt of michelle and. They only manage the narrow window in the referendum which just 50. 9 percent in favor. Probably because they were up against the entire establishment the mayor the main central left and right parties the Energy Companies and even the unions. As a share in the we should often. Just the humble zulfi of the victim gains off you dust and foreign oil you take on. Or intraday reasoning and doesnt quote him via poor Government Program once hes in that soviets or go forward and does em yeah thats been requested to not. And in 2016 humber bought back then and theres a great so now its profits go back to the city. The gas and Heating Networks will follow soon one nightmare for the Energy Companies and their investors. In sendai home movie editing and things may see its just fired for a nexus on a National Hunt bust and this needs to assume the angst to copy tires for him poor got as it just wasnt my point. After the fall of the venom hole that was shortened to 0 sum for how much his ations and free market ideology what we have seen in home work is that maybe today he said yes challenge and we have a new kind of enthusiasm which isnt was just to take back the public message. Since then 170 german towns have taken back control of their energy create. Some as a result of pressure from citizens some through the policies of forward thinking mayors. In the former east germany one such mayor has come up with a unique way of handling the refugee crisis. 2 there. 2 2 on my journey ive seen refugees forced to live in appalling conditions and defined as the political other. But in friedlands they have to take. In a different approach. This was once a busy town full of factories processing regional Agricultural Produce but the fall of the barely wall so factories closed and the jobs leave. Oh i may reveal that block of the century right christian democrats is a former factory worker determined to save the town and. Its a family guy goes up to 3 luckily for friedland the mayor has plenty of energy. As a hero i know of course between. 120 up and down and also to survive as a man in tamer or and in a companion its one and mention god compile your eyes and yes i believe. When the berlin wall came down west germany privatized the state on the east German Economy enterprises deemed uncompetitive were sold for a pittance and close even though hes. Taken. To 14 and us flight of our hoods a man thats fine if im in the normal force as i did our guard invitro by. Your own trim my understand that we are seeing between a copy of the old one of. The fin and his thats an hour and splits and. Despite attempts to attract new industry most young people move away so the population here is shrinking and getting older isnt the start one can feel any mention. Of as one kind of mountain and spin and. So the mayor had an idea to both help refugees in need and revive his town. I dont do it in the Nuclear Bombs let me beaten for the mention of 100 and victims with the kinds and bombs on this one snitch killing i think about its. Time to see who comes and we just because im the animal i need to shift to do what it is now that thats very divided lets form an alpha. Under the flight ship he didnt figure income or use our most much were doing ones on the. Side too shy to go and often get seen parts and flood sponsored plots and. Im convinced court 2. So theyve asked for more than the both of refugees and theyre even trying to mine their bribery to convince them to stay. C 2 here. Quoting exchange you can see this is the place where the refugees. They can get free this is sort of folks. Youre no good no good no gang now yes everyone smile that oh thats just gross. And they feel no conflict because it was nice victorian men out. There not one thing you know youre so fucking that here now yeah come you know thinking that they can do. That munch on my crushing they all yeah yeah and hes going to clanking i can be king and all my. Talking to the mayor you begin to understand why uncle america was keen for germany to accept so many Syrian Refugees if you bother me im feeling a bit like these guys and guys with me thats good but i have already been absent. Totally bombed your life. Just before i was shown the most i know shines through in every business. With 450. 00 refugees living in the. Small town there is the potential for conflict and misunderstanding but the mayor has set up a committee to avoid just that. Showed up on this is the meeting this is the meeting of the religious component or when trying to block. Social services the job center churches schools and businesses all sent representatives here hardly dislike them in the present that even inform them through clinton here they have me missing some on your plate that you do. Get off the media but maybe its a good idea to drop to the most you can also hold classes rheumatism or just remove for pulling teeth pulled from. The minute. She is in traffic and its a mushroom you wish so do i knows ive got this time clean. In a minute you wish i had a version here. This short. While i live all in the willing and. Ready to shoot it was off. So there was a doctor from syria already here varies here today in berlin so what theyre trying to do is actually because 4 of the doctors who are here now are going into medicine and they want to keep some of the afghan or syrian doctors here so they are also discussing this at the moment because they are a need for doctors. The town is now famous for its quest to find a new population but what do the refugees fleeing. Here in finland how do the people who live here or how did it treat you are sometimes it is so it. Is so us. As the strangers you know. But in general if they are good you live in one of these apartments yeah i hear i live here. From 6 months here i have 5 verses in the house with me. And but it is a house to go and you do stay in friedland if you would find a job here or do you know right there as well as if the small yeah it is small and i want to get on with my in my study of the city richard can probably only do in the bigger city alone but really on how mostly maybe the mere norse thats how most will react thats why his plan rests on just 10 percent of the refugees wanting to stay. Most of the population in your role in 10 or 20 years will be population above 60 or 70 so in a way the coming of refugees to this style presents a possibility because younger people a younger population and they think it can be applied on the european level as well maybe the size of the refugees can be awful for revitalisation of point. And what it shows is that the real change can be done on the municipal level and that maybe radical politics of the 20th century is not understood from National International level but on the local level. Weve seen radical movements in big cities and a compassionate mayor in a small town but to even begin to bring about change on the scale europe needs will require new and radical thinking in a major city. Spains 2nd largest city is now run by a button on a in common a radical. Iran mental and housing activists. 2 years ago that was attempting to stop people being evicted from their homes. That ran into a little bit emotional. But the 2nd i dont know but open and going in must be part of the. Many must. Go. I mean you know them and if there is. That sick of the augusta. They would. Like it and i must enlist i know its been you. Know when she speaks up for a family who have been a week that she does so as the mayor of parts unknown what it. Will feel much is the most but im probably that you know one half a get this morning this is the most interesting question was and what if you see and they dont know what it is if it will add more to the cinema the Richest Woman that is going to try to be in that or knows that its not they dont mean yours but can such radicals run a large and complex 21st Century Global city of nearly 2000000 residents. Every year over 70 get your response sent on barcelona they spent over 13000000000. 00. But their input is now so huge theyve become one of the problems facing new politicians like that pretty marriage about the sort of. This is. Just one of the most popular neighborhoods so for barcelona. It used to be neighborhood the fisherman one of the problems were having here is that the prices of houses. Have started to increase and many people are being forced to leave the neighborhood. Here we used to have a. A squad house is called community here called. Which means thousands of houses for everyone. In this courthouse used to leave our actual mayor and some members of the government she was a squatter really yes here and now. That we are in the government of the of the city council we will have operatives here and thats what were trying to foster in comparative out seeing new forms of tenancy and hearing of us in on it what weve been doing is weve been forcing banks to negotiate with the city council to give us you know over buildings empty buildings to. Just to to have them for social rental. And thats very important i mean we dont depend on bonds because we havent shared our campaign with banks and thats important because youre free from banks and that gives you a certain margin to negotiate with them you know well this is one of the 1st buildings we bought when we when we came to 2 to the power and this is a building that we are rehabilitating now i mean its not easy because we as a city council we dont have all the legislative power to do the way everything we can to change the city from one today but we are also putting pressure on the on the Regional Government on the Central Government to change the laws and if we dont have pressure on the streets there are many changes that cannot be done youre seeing that you see because the. Subject was barclays if you just would like to see more brittle just we. Will not only need pressure but we need the forms of Organization People have to organize them and corporate these they have to produce in a different way they have to consume in a different way and we are in the ministration cannot be an obstacle we have to told to go along with them but its still a demonstration when we go to the democratic level. So is this what happens when the people take over the palace and barcelona town hall is a palace. Im going to meet the marriage clubs. Do you think these model of parts alone up but also something which we could call the rebel cities its not only barcelona it is now this is your naples had a war zone so on i could be a model for europe as such in the sense that going from bottom up from the municipal from the local level we could come to a National Level and even change your role on these transNational International level in a moment a case is then look at the got going Arsalan Espana is unable go back yes and canal levee. They likely sees the light in mccarthy format is the unifying people as regards the latter half in the market at the guy and i know by theone air that if were in the field then were not going to go in and look at the heap or theone that im spot in thea and i may make it a. Pretty but i dont get anymore 2nd fender and im going under skewer this case on this that name in time i get it up or left here dont last you like this sort of money stuff you might have got and theyre going to guess how much of what i want to put in the dollars not enough this put them out and what theyre seeing what in the end there are many that are not into this chaotic it is effective i meant it would not by say that i feel that theres the useless international or get him or said or not only the only get him or said so but i thought when i mean i want to feel that i may not get an email address the other semi us actual matter most in that the last i said well put up with him. So maybe it will be a network of cities like barcelona where people finally feel represented because the city is close enough to the people to be held accountable yet powerful enough to make a difference to their lifes. But on my journey ive seen how the financial forces colonizing europe have captured nation states and even the European Union so maybe its nice to suppose such movements can make a difference. Or maybe the judging. If you look over history is a movement that has a chief something it consistently appears to have failed in that they didnt achieve their goals right away and were beaten back but they left a residue and a legacy from which things moved forward and nation travel be crewed here so lets not dismiss those who are brave enough to be optimistic so what we have seen with the socalled arab spring is that its not enough talk of bias where you have to be able to create a Permanent Organization even if it means new Political Parties but which wouldnt be where to go but which would come in take integrate precisely the experience of the patients and be aware that all busy of europe but also the world is watching what is happening in place thank you very much.

S. Central command tensions in one of the worlds most important shipping channels have risen again chalons aljazeera london. And the u. S. 5th fleet has said its working closely with the British Royal navy to defend the free flow of commerce and freedom of navigation through the region so they must be monitoring reaction in the iranian capital tehran. Diplomatic relations between iran and the United Kingdom have been suffering for many months now and the events of the last 24 hours will not help that situation and the arrest of Senior Officers of the race for one the oil tanker that was detained last week off the coast of gibraltar by the u. K. Oil. That is likely to bring the same level of anger for leaders here into iran that the detention of the best of the seizure of the vessel the oil tanker brought from the senior most levels of government last week irans president and other Senior Leaders calling it a violation of the sanctity of International Waterway something that was creating insecurity many Senior Iranian leaders also called the u. K. A move that was by all accounts taken at the behest of the United States an act of piracy now ron is very angry about the fact that 2000000. 00 barrels of crude oil were in the cargo vessel at the time of its seizure something that iran will find especially difficult now is trying to continue to sell oil in the face of unilateral u. S. Economic sanctions and irans economy is certainly continuing to teeter so this is something that leaders will have taken very seriously and the arrest of these 2 officers will no doubt escalate tensions even further earlier today iran denied reports that Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Naval vessels tried to capture and seize a british vessel irans government flatly denied any truth to those reports saying that in the past 24 hours there had been no encounter with any foreign vessels irans foreign minister zarif calling the u. K. s version of events again another attempt to escalate tensions with iran. As you mentioned the strait of hormuz is one of the worlds most important waterways every year thousands of vessels pass through the shipping lane which is just over 3 kilometers wide at its narrowest point almost a 5th of the worlds oil around 20000000 barrels a day is shipped through the strait and ships have to navigate the territorial waters of both amman and iran but are protected by a Un Convention on the law of the sea which should allow them to pass without a problem. And miranda is a professor at the university of tehran he says the tank a seizure is part of a wider project to put pressure on iran if the british fail to release the iranian tanker because they its an act of piracy it is illegal even if the even if it was oil that was going to that particular refinery which is for the concert which would be consumption for ordinary syrians even if that was the case it was they have no right to detain the tankers owned by other countries but it wasnt for that refinery it wasnt even for syria and they had no right to detain the tanker its just a part of a broader project to put pressure on iran and in the case of the persian gulf the iranians if they feel ultimately that the british are going to behave and as pirates and not release the tanker then ultimately they will retaliate there is absolutely no doubt about that but anyone who looks at the map knows that you run has the competence and the firepower to deal with the british and i think that the downing of the 200000000 dollar u. S. Drone by the iranians shows that iran both has the sophistication and the will and the competence to do what is necessary in the persian gulf.
