K. And that will still bring some very wet and windy weather across much of that area as we go from thursday and into friday that system starts to make its way towards the north sea things get a little bit better across the area but watch the temperatures there on the rebound here across much of Central Europe berlin youre coming back to 30 degrees and plenty of sun in the forecast there here across much of Northern Africa it is going to be clear across much of the Area Temperatures into the low thirtys in many areas over towards kyra though we do expect to see a few of 35. 00 degrees there as we go towards friday more clouds are going to be developing here across parts of tunisia maybe into tripoli as well as those clouds push through attempts there of about 29 degrees but over here towards morocco a little bit cool a few along the coast we do expect to see sun in your forecast with a temperature of 21 degrees in algiers at 25.

And its its another reflection of the tensions in this region and how everything is just kind of on a hair trigger now absolutely i think this. This is a very Serious Development today i think this incident is more serious perhaps than the one that had to convince last month when for. Have been attacked. Are saying maybe a target b. 2 has been used. In attacking one of these of these tankers saw i think this is a certain very Serious Development this actually contributes to increase perhaps the escalation between iran and the United States. They are. Properly its very difficult to see who is really behind this incident but what we can we can push to say that some are trying to increase. Parties i said i mean to increase the collusion between the United States and iran we already know that the americans they have actually. Pretty presence in the in the gulf they sent the u. S. S. Abraham lincoln last month actually in order as the americans said to run from and the reaction against the sanctions they have or at the end was on on iran and this also comes in the middle of a mediation efforts the japanese Prime Minister whos now in the hand trying actually to ease the tension between iran and the United States this incident will not make his actually job easy. I think it will actually make it much more difficult and this is of course has huge economic importance because so much of the worlds oil goes through this area doesnt absolutely 20 percent of the oil that the world actually consumes. Is exported from the god of the gulf is the largest oil reserve of oil and gas in the world and anything happens in this part of the world will affect the International Market in our in a massive it will affect the World Economy in a very significant way so this is why everybody will be watching closely these developments in the region.
