S. Secretary of state is placing blame for the incident regarding to oil tankers he says that the Islamic Republic of iran is responsible and that that is the position of the United States this is what we heard earlier from mike pompei oh it is the assessment of the United States government that the Islamic Republic of iran is responsible for the attacks that occurred in the gulf of oman today these unprovoked attacks present a clear threat to International Peace and security a blatant assault on the freedom of navigation and in an acceptable campaign of escalating tension by iran. Now 2 oil tankers were involved along with 44 crew members that were on board those oil tankers the incident took place near the strait of hormuz now at this point were hearing that one of the vessels of the front all tear was described as quote on fire and adrift and we have photos that have been appearing on social media of the flaming vessel the burning ship now front line which is the Oil Tanker Company that owns these oil tankers it has confirmed to Russian Media that there was no oil spill caused by the flames now furthermore we understand that there were actually 11 russians on board of the ship and that the ship the oil tankers were sailing under the flag of the pan of panama and the Marshall Islands now the u.

N. Security Council Meeting is scheduled for later today to discuss the incident so all eyes will be on the u. N. Security council as they begin the meeting and we now have my pompei i was saying that iran is to blame for the incident. People will be wondering looking for more information a lot of Quick Developments here a lot of nervousness in the International Community in response not just to this incident but in response to pompei i was announcement to middle east analysts for their views on what may have happened today our tankers. Washington with mr pomp and mr bolton are really trying to. Escalate the situation so that they have an opportunity and an excuse to attack iran and also in the Current Situation when these 2 tankers were supposedly torpedoed. U. S. Is not providing any evidence that part of the problems for the americans are there are getting kind of the signals one expecting from iran are a number less seems that during the scenario. The i think what we are. I have been left with. Well many would use the proxies like. It was young learned and then they will use every possible 3rd or it by a dick and disrupt the crude oil from the go forth among the usa ones to remove the current government in tehran mr bolton has clearly been rubbing his hands with glee over the last decade when he wasnt security adviser that he once removed all of the regime in tehran mr pompeo has also many times said that he wants the government in tehran to not be day in power americans are trying to create a situation were it are is are forced to actually come were going to push it into but only stones and condition and i think that is unlike can grow up and get rid of that do some. By the japanese. Stroke. More deliberate the kind of deserves that the americans were expecting because iran has not responded positively. There are other interested parties who could very easily be walled in this particular act which took place in the last 24 hours could be saudi arabia could be washington itself with this fleet in the gulf region the iran has. Formally blocks. All but you have been here used to the. U. K. Home secretary has handed a us extradition request for julian or songe to the courts which will now consider the wiki leaks founder space hearing is scheduled for friday shaadi edwards daschle reports from london. Well its a dark day for julian a silent and his supporters as the u. K. s home secretary sajid javid has just signed an order paving the way for genocide to be extradited to the United States now he himself said that he was pleased that youre in a scientist behind bars and that justice will prevail in this procedure youre very pleased that the police were finally able to apprehend him and now hes right you behind bars because he broke you kate law i want to see justice done at all times and weve got a legitimate extradition request so ive signed it but the final decision is now with the courts well it must be noted that the final decision is for the courts and the courts alone of course the United States does want to an aside for 17 indictments under the espionage act for publishing and delivering classified communications and documents all related to the iraq war and the war in afghanistan but also conspiring and even indeed hacking Government Computers and publishing these secret documents now the platform of which was used to do this is wiki leaks and the editor in chief. If india says that your innocent will not receive a fair trial i dont believe that were going to win this with legal argument there is no chance the julian will get a fair trial here in the u. K. Or in the us of course unless theres a change of reporting that people actually start speaking out were not talking about a prosecution were talking about a persecution well here the scientist 1 serving a 52 week sentence in the u. K. Is belmarsh prison thats a high security prison here in the u. K.

I think that any extradition counsel whether. Its for the for the crown or for the defense is going to understand as in many other extradition proceedings particularly one thats. High profile like mr sawyer that politics is going to come into play i think its shiny i dont think that it should come into play in any extradition proceeding i think that an extradition hearing should be based solely in the in the resulting decision either for or against extradition should be based solely on the law but i also believe that thats a naive approach and i do think the politics will factoring in post 911. 00. The u. S. And u. K. Entered into an expert dition treaty that provides for a lower. Standard of proof that the us passed a my to have someone extradited so its much easier for the us to have one extradited from the u. K. To the u. S. Than the other way around and im not so milieu or with any other extradition treaty that the u. S. House where that floor standard where that even standard is between the 2 bilateral states thats present to the tell us treaty.
