And marching for peace in cape town the military is sent into a town thats been torn apart by rival gangs well bring you a special report from our correspondent on the ground. Im sumi so much going to thank you for joining us u. S. President donald trump says an american warship destroyed an iranian drone in the strait of hormuz on thursday trump accused iran of quote. Vocative in hostile action he said the drone was downed after repeated warnings were ignored. This is the ship that the white house says brought down iranian drone the u. S. S. Boxer an assault ship sent to the persian gulf just over a month ago u. S. President donald trump said a drone had come within a 1000 yards of the u. S. S. Boxer and ignored calls to stand down. This is the latest of many provocative and hostile actions by iran against vessels operating in International Waters the United States reserves the right to defend our personnel our facilities i think trysts and calls upon all nations to condemn irans attempts to disrupt freedom of navigation. And global commerce. Iranian foreign minister mohamad jobs are if there was a new york for u. N. Meetings said he could not confirm the possible downing of a drone. The downing of the woodward and about to get broken through false we dont know if. The judge said thats what i said we have no. Doubt that he thought the problem etc would be to have you know senator cohen this is the latest scrape between the 2 countries over who is provoking whom in the strait of hormuz. On june 20th iran shot down a u. S. Drone it said had violated its airspace just days ago the Iranian Military seized a foreign tanker in this strategic strait saying the ship was Smuggling Oil and they released this footage allegedly showing the incident the United Nations has urged restraint on all sides to avoid an open conflict. Lets speak to adnan tata by hes a middle east analyst based in germany and he joins us from. Good morning good to see you thank you for joining us what do we know about what actually happened here though we only have a Donald Trumps account so far it seems yes we heard the foreign minister tell us are you speaking yesterday denying this and this morning that it would you for minister she has also tweeted that there is that iran hasnt lost any drone and he was basically also mocking the u. S. President placing the u. S. Has down to tone drawn so so far that its based basically the u. S. Claim in the iranian denial and yet were seeing another escalation between the u. S. And iran how serious is this. I think the situation is extremely dangerous we see both sides trying to get the other to a point where. The face saving exit is needed the u. S. As it ought to its maximum pressure strategy around its maximum resistance strategy both are trying to raise the cost for the other side and its its dangerous to see where this will lead us so youre saying this is a dangerous situation but at the same time we saw the Iranian Foreign minister in new york propose new talks some possible concessions so where are things had it i think this is part of the pattern that we see on both sides so we see upping the pressure on different in different forms but at the same time providing some if you want to say avenues for backdoor talks or some sort of an agreement and as i said the face saving aspect of diplomacy might play a role here so that either side presents the other with such an exit the u. S. Has said we just dont want to see that you can run ins becoming a Nuclear Power this is something that the iranians dont have a problem with and i think this is also a very has not proposed something that would further make the deal for the robust so lets see where this will go but at the same time we have to be worried because these these measures that are meant to scare off the other side im afraid will continue i can at this point what would it take to get both sides back to the table and to stop this ask elating attention. At the moment it seems that the iranians want to see the u. S. Position which is the one that will exist in during the obama years so no u. S. Sanctions that have to do with Irans Nuclear program or other sanctions and remain for the u. S. Side it seems that there are divisions between the president and his foreign secretary and his National Security adviser so the u. S. Position might be a bit ambiguous here but for the trump it seems as long as it would be his deal there might actually be a deal so lets see where this will lead us but i think the International Community show should ask both sides to really come to their senses at this point our middle east analyst adnan tabata by thank you so much for your analysis my pleasure President Trump is also facing a lot of controversy at home well talk about that in a moment but 1st some other stories making news around the world in afghanistan at least 6 people have been killed after a bomb exploded near Kabul University authorities said the bomb had been placed under a vehicle no group has yet claimed responsibility but the Afghan Capital is often targeted both by the taliban and the Islamic State a terrorist militia. A Moroccan Court has sentenced 3 men to death for the murder of 2 scandinavian women in december of last year luis a good just person and maher and were killed in their tent at a popular hiking destination the court also jailed 20 other defendants with links to the killers. Japanese media is reporting that tokyo plans to summon south koreas ambassador on friday as the conflict over world war 2 era compensation deepens japans foreign minister tuttle cano wants a soul to rectify a court ruling that order 2 Japanese Companies to pay koreans for their forced labor under japanese occupation. In the u. S. Signs that President Trump thinks he might have gone too far hes told reporters that he disagrees with the ugly chanting at a Campaign Rally in North Carolina at that event trump repeated his attack on a group of Democratic Congresswoman who he branded on american and thats when the chanting started echoing racist tweets by trump the next day the u. S. Leader try to distance himself from his supporters words. He steps out confidence and in no mood to back down donald trump was heavily criticized for his racist tweets against 4 Democratic Congress women but hes doubled down on his comments suggesting they should leave the country. Thank you suggestion for the hate filled extremists who are constantly trying to tear our country down they never have anything good to say thats why i say if they dont like it a Little Leaves little i. Love it dont believe it. And then this from his supporters. Here are the targets of trumps attacks 3 of the 4 women were actually born in the u. S. You know i know maher is a somali refugee naturalized as a u. S. Citizen the women. Say trump is shutting down to bait based on the color of their skin. Because i criticize the president as should be deployed i want to remind people that this is what this ties events and his supporters have turned our country that is supposed to be a country if we allow democratic debate this president put millions of americans in danger last name his rhetoric is in danger of being. Lots of people this is not just about. Threats to individual members of congress. Its not the 1st time trump has used such divisive language to appeal to his base it helps him win the presidency in 2016 and he wants to win again republicans have defended the remarks. I dont think its racist to say was it racist is a love it or leave it i dont think a somali refugee embracing would not have been asked to go back. On everybody from somalia to go back. With his comments analysts say trump is firing up his supporters and allowing anti immigrant sentiments to become mainstream. I dont think for them that will be the moment when we whether we aspire to be a whole lot better or whether we want to go but who in effect make america. I i this is an unprecedented time in the United States with the president showing no sign of letting up on his racist rhetoric. One of the most divisive issues in the u. S. At the moment is the trump administrations treatment of migrants with reports of terrible conditions and abuse at detention camps along the southern border thats after migrants have survived the dangerous trek through Central America and mexico in a sign of just how tense the situation has become u. S. Citizens volunteering with organizations dedicated to helping migrants say their faeces facing increasing in tackiness them and in some cases even criminal charges in our next report we meet volunteers for the group border angels working to help migrants trekking through the california desert. With every step they take the dangers of the desert become more and more evident keith sun and no access to water may crossing the mountains a risky undertaking peeped in volunteers of the socalled border angels try to make it safer by dropping water in the desert traces tell them theyre on the right track this is a heavily traveled area. Because the Border Patrol presence has been stepped up in other areas more people are feeling funneled into this more dangerous riverine region and coming through here and there are discarded things that go along. Along the way the empty water containers show that their efforts are not in vain. This is been a very strenuous hike so far you can easily consume one and a half or 2 leaders off water so its very obvious how important these water drops are essentially they can save the migrants life. Among the volunteers are descendants of migrants like seek his son chess whose great grandfather migrated to the u. S. From mexico 100 years ago there were no roads there were no interstates there wouldnt nothing so the only possible way that he could have gotten up here and him in my great grandmother were. Walking. You know. Somebody had to help him along the way. Here i am. Others want to make a statement against the u. S. Governments migration policy. And ministration and the current Political Climate is a represent a vast majority of americans to welcome in the prius. Finally the Group Reaches its destination time to deposit some water containers for migrants coming through from the nearby Mexican Border the bottles will be among the 1st things they find when crossing into america a personal message in spanish when i sweat up the good luck to those who might need it. We have brothers and sisters that are in need that are facing death and 15 hardship that because of a gallon of water might be able to be saved and become productive. At the end of the day the border angels hiked 10 miles through the california desert they say helping migrants is their duty because america has always been a nation off immigrants. European union interior ministers have failed to find an agreement on how to deal with Asylum Seekers rescued in the Mediterranean Sea as the ministers held talks in finland the german captain of a migrant rescue ship at the eye of a political storm appeared before an Italian Court from there she sent a clear message to european leaders. About the arriving at the courthouse on sicily kara wreck a tour was mocked by reporters the 31 year old german sea captain is being investigated on suspicion of aiding illegal immigration last month she piloted to see watch rescue ship into the italian ports of lampedusa with 41 micron so on board. I sincerely hope that the European Commission now after the new election of the parliament will do their very best to prevent situations like that happening and that all the European Countries will Work Together in the future to accept any people which the civilian fleet has rescued. Its in these hard line interior minister met tell you salvini wants to stop rescue ships like sea watch bringing my consist sure as the summit of europes interior ministers got underway in helsinki there were bold words. The situation is critical we cannot let anyone drone at the Mediterranean Sea anymore we have to find solutions that are more robust arrangements that are not ad hoc as they are right now in this situation needs our attention all the time and we should act there together for the summit ended in failure france and germany pushed to socalled solidarity mechanism for distributing rescued migrants italy and malta rejected the plan salvini opposed dates and the remaining one of the main landing points for migrants comes to me and it means that every want to royce in italy or in malta and i will never sign a document which says that everyone has to or. In my country because we cannot rely on them being relocated you know for those that may look. Im so for now how europe should deal with people sailing from north africa in search of a better life remains unresolved.
