The america warns that they may not reach an agreement at a summit today plus the u. N. Says a record 71000000 people have been displaced by who are and persecution worldwide on World Refugee day we look at the plight of aging bridge of muslims for me and mark who fled to bangladesh. And the womens world cup scotland are on their way home after crashing and burning against argentina in the scots looks certain to win until their opponents mounted a whirlwind and controversial comeback. On my heart thank you so much for your company and we won but we started this broadcast with that dangerous escalation in tensions between iran and the u. S. Iran has shut down a u. S. Spy drone President Trump. Calls it quote a very big mistake tehran in turn claims the u. S. Crossed a red line by violating its airspace washington maintains the drone was in International Airspace and announces the incident as an unprovoked attack on a comes at a time of heightened tensions between the 2 countries. Down to the u. S. Drone was announced on Iranian State television they did not immediately broadcast any pictures of the attack but showed instead a file image of the type of drone they said had been hit by an unmanned surveillance act craft hes the gathering imagery of large areas of land in all weathers the commander of irans elite revolutionary guard said they had destroyed the trend because they wanted to send a strong message to the us. I dont know those who defend the border of the islamic nation of iran will react in a total and decisive way to any intrusion by foreign elements on our land what off our own. Minds our borders how are our red line an enemy that violates our borders will not return and will be destroyed. The commander went on to say that iran was ready for war but added that they did not seek conflict with any nation. However the incident comes at a time of increasing tension between tehran and washington at its heart the International Nuclear deal which the u. S. Withdrew from last year. This week iran said it was also no longer willing to abide by the terms of the agreement and could soon restart its nuclear activity. Also raising concerns are attacks on 2 oil tankers in the gulf of amman. On wednesday the u. S. Military presented more evidence it said linked tehran to the incidents. Iran for its part denies involvement. The United States has also said it has no interest in fueling the dispute with iran but the fear is a military confrontation could happen not by design but by accident. All right so lets get you more on these developments in w. s all over salads is in washington for you all over now both sides agree on one thing that the drone was shot down by tehran but i wonder if the u. S. Very conflicting accounts about the circumstances has the u. S. Presented proof that the drone was flying in International Spare space as it maintains. The difference for you might make use of your difference in the end there has been no evidence provided at this this point and we might also not in the whole do the full facts here in the near future the 2 good loyal tankers that were attacked in the strait of hormuz last week in that case here the pentagon provided video footage and photos allegedly showing the ranger who should never be guards carrying out the attack or removing remainders of the unexploded device from one of the tankers but these images are contest and not all of the International Partners actually go to recall the authenticity of the European Union is divided on the issue as well so it will be interesting to see if the United States will offer some proof for this full of this shot down the drone which the United States if this was actually shot down in International Airspace if the u. S. Is right and that is the fact that well certainly need another step in the escalation in a situation where both sides the tensions between both countries are running very high already right to all of her there are some audio problems that you probably have to turn on your mike but you can hear me how is this being perceived right now in washington because the rhetoric on both sides is getting more belligerent. Thats right the u. S. President said iran made a big mistake he took to twitter already and its very interesting to look at both sides position here the big question the overarching question right now is will one side retaliate at some point will this eventually trigger a war the u. S. Administration in this matter is very unpredictable 2 President Trump had actually promised to pull his country out of International Conflicts what we are witnessing right now is exactly 6 the opposite theyre following a strategy of maximum pressure on iran its hard to raise that pressure at this point. And 1 the acting offense defense secretary Patrick Shanahan that in contras actually said that the United States is not ending for conflict iran is arguing along the same lines but the question as well is which side. Do you estimate as administration will prevail there are certainly moderate forces in hardliners just like a National Security advisor john bolton who would be more open to a military operation against iran however silent reporting from washington thank you so much. Next to brussels where leaders are meeting to decide who will lead the European Unions key institutions following last months European Parliamentary elections well the most prestigious position the leaders are debating is that of the European Commission president a post now held by jacques load younger and theres still no consensus on who should replace him and the issue has created friction between the use to being a chanst france and germany. Are we can take you live now to brussels in just a minute i should say but 1st lets take a look at the top jobs that are up for grabs and who may or may not get them. They are lining up for the top jump in brussels and its anything but childs play who will make the race right now all 3 candidates are in the running to become the next president of the European Commission the use heise dump one of montanas politician might have a divest aga she positioned herself as the liberal front runner and would be the 1st woman to serve as president of the European Commission this doggerel maiden name for herself as a fierce Competition Commission are responsible for slapping google with a huge and to trust fine she enjoys the support of several heads of states but she might be putting the cart before the horse because not everybody in her own party is backing her the dutchman in social democrat plans to moments has strong support in the south of europe but his problem is that east as my is president of the European Commission funds to my months as an experienced politician who speaks 9 languages but some Eastern European nations above all hungary and poland oppose him timmons had openly criticized both countries for floating Democratic Values and last but not least the germanys months made his advantage Eastern Europe likes him a lot more than his social democrat opponent for some months would be about doesnt have enough. Political experience to become Commission President a candidate must receive 21 of the blocks 28 votes veba is still far from that goal was really making this race so does the called france and germany disagree about who should get the job french president even when michael doesnt want to be limited to the 3 candidates putting him at odds with the german chancellor Angela Merkel if the 2 cant agree the carousel could change direction and a dark horse candidate could enter the race. Are lets get you more now to the European Council in brussels where the summit is taking place im max huffman is standing by for you max tell us exactly about the importance of this powerful job and why it has become so contentious. Well the importance is and you just said it because its powerful it actually has the ability to shape legislation in the European Union and steer the e. U. In a certain direction even if the Commission President is still overseen by the leaders that are right here at the European Union council so it is a very important job and why is it so difficult this time around because for the 1st time you dont have and its very similar to germany by the way the 2 big parties in the European Parliament so the social democrats and the conservatives that have no photos to form an alliance and have a majority you need a 3rd or even a 4th party and to nominate that Commission President you dont only need a majority in the European Parliament you also need a right here in the European Council and for that double majority we have exactly 0 majorities at the moment are now the new European Parliament goes into session for the 1st time i understand. That july when can we expect any decisions realistically to be made. Yeah youre right thats really the important date at the moment at least the 2nd of july when the new European Parliament will convene and presumably also elect its president so the president of the European Parliament is important why because hes part of the whole package were not only talking about the European Commission president here tonight but a total of 5 jobs im not going to name them all because it might take a little long but the president of the European Parliament is one of them and if the Parliament Elects that president without all of the other posts of that package being in place this will cause a lot of trouble going down the world thats what the leaders want to avoid at all costs they want to have their plan in place before this 1st domino the president of the European Parliament falls busy into place and die its why its likely that if they dont find a solution tonight there will be another summit and people here are talking about a 1st of july the 1st of july and the german chancellor. Coming into the summit here told us how difficult she thought it would be to find a solution already today here in brussels even though its often the move on a list host and well be having an open and extensive discussions on this so its possible there wont be any result today from my point of view this is not really a problem option enough now aim should be to get this resolved by the time the new European Parliament meets some parliament so that we can get to work straight away that means we still have a few days left pocket size so that begs the question what could a compromise look like max its like always in the European Union there will have to be something for everybody and everybody means you need something for the social democrats you need something for the greens you need something for the conservatives for the liberals but also for the yeast and European Countries for the western European Countries for the smaller countries for the big countries for the women for the men so that is why this puzzle is so complicated a solution could be found as early as today but it most likely wont because the most important 2 players that need to be on the same page are friends and germany if they dont find Common Ground then there will be no solution brussels birching max hoffman reporting from the e. U. Council thank you. Our atmosphere has been out with some of the other stories making news around the world.

Youre watching the daily news still to come. This is boxer from belarus is going for gold at the european games in minsk he hopes the games will open his nation up to the world but critics say they are nothing more than p. R. Gloss for better or worse is a strong man president. But 1st the United Nations says a Record Number of people worldwide have been forcibly displaced this year by war persecution or violence well the figure now totals 71000000 thats 2000000 more than last year it includes Asylum Seekers refugees and the internally displaced to mark un World Refugee day Amnesty International is highlighting the particular difficulties facing older refugees amnesty filmed in camps that housed refugees from me in march after a crackdown by mia mars military almost 800000 rangel fled to bangladesh and many of them were elderly. Life in bangladesh so crowded refugee camps can be a constant struggle. I for the elderly its often nearly unbearable the Human Rights OrganizationAmnesty International interviewed nearly 150 displaced road injured 54 to over 90 they found that aid agencies hadnt done enough to address the needs of older refugees. Not that far for the people who can walk well its only a problem for me. When i dont go to the come to nic they dont provide good treatment they usually only give one of 2 tablets when my son buys medication for me i take that im weary of going that. Way but it was not the end that this man was able to reach a designated age friendly clinic for such places are rare in the refugee camps for the elderly food medical and sanitation facilities are often difficult to reach researchers documented cases of older patients foregoing medicine because they could not navigate the challenging terrain to the clinics. Despite the challenges these are the lucky ones many other elderly wrote enjoy were unable to flee and me on mars army attacked their villages in rocky in state. You know mothers that we were in the field the soldiers with chasing people and shooting people who could run managed to escape but those who couldnt run were killed and then out of the when the soldiers came and said house is on fire my parents were inside for the last 5 years my parents werent able to move on their own we couldnt take them with his mommy flat my parents died when the house was totaled. Its uncertain when the road injured refugees will be able to return to their homes and me on mar for the elderly its not clear whether theyll ever make the trip home. Id like to welcome now francesca teles she is a researcher and advisor for Refugee Rights at Amnesty International a very good evening in our report that we just aired week we got a glimpse at the were hengist situation in myanmar what are their Biggest Challenges today. Hello and thank you for having me yes so you heard about some of the challenges that we have allied did that are particularly important for elder reed ranger if you g. s in the camps. In bangladesh one of the main problems that they have. Access to services due to all bt. Because the camps in bangladesh are very heelys so its a very difficult terrain to navigate for everybody but then of course when people have mobility issues due to age then becomes even more difficult so there are other refugees that are just unable to go to look for example and do something as basic as that and also accessing other services that are in other parts of the camp so there are problems for example reaching Health Clinics and of course people of elderly they sure often have Health Problems its very important to be able to receive health care and that is a problem as well as well as problem accessing food distributions and other types of services now the number of refugees worldwide according to a new u. N. Report has reached almost 71000000 thats a staggering number. It is and every year it is increasing unfortunately did International Community is not really responded to that in
