Right into the stability in the food supply that we have at the moment. This is it we news live from berlin situation volatile iran should see us drone out of the sky present trump response to the escalation and emit a very deadly stick. Tom youll find out. The u. S. And iran contradict each other it was over whether the drone was an international
airspace washington excuses to iran of launching an unprovoked attack also coming up the man to beat up a former Foreign Secretary for johnson is the front runner for Britains Conservative Party as it narrows down its candidates for the next Prime Minister current Foreign Secretary jeremy hunt will be this challenger when the Party Members vote next month. And Horse Trading in brussels france and germany clash over who should become the next president of the European Commission and thats not the only top job up for grabs. On the iraq its great to have you along everyone. We begin this broadcast with that dangerous escalation in tension between iran and the u. S. Iran has shut down a u. S. Spy drone. President trump now says tehran may have quote made
a big mistake and told reporters theyll find out if the u. S. Plans a response tehran meanwhile claims the u. S. Violated its airspace washington maintains the draw was in International Airspace and says the attack was unprovoked. The shooting down of 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 an Unmanned Surveillance Act Craft He used the gathering imagery of large areas of land you know whether as the commander of irans Elite Revolutionary Guard said they had destroyed the train because they wanted to send a strong message to the u. S. 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 or dont
own a. Mine of our borders how are our red line enemy that violates our borders and 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. Lets get more now on these a growing tensions with the perspective from washington is all over salad is standing by all over both sides confirmed that the drone was shot out of the sky by tehran but there are conflicting accounts over the circumstances has the u. S. Presented proof that the drone was flying in international space. Well other than a picture showing the shot down a drone we dont have exact prove where the drone was flying and that is essentially the important and the Crucial Point to your iran arguing that the drone entered iranian airspace the United States saying the drone was in International Airspace and the problem here is that we might not even know which of the versions
is the correct one just a week ago when 2 oil tankers were attacked in the Strait Of Hormuz the pentagon then provided photos and Video Footage allegedly showing Iranian Revolutionary guards removing the remainders of a mind of one of these oil tankers the United States them believes iran is behind this attack International Partners some of them agree on the version others contest. This material the European Union is divided over the issue but if the United States is right of course that will mean drastic a dramatic increase of tensions between the 2 countries now all over whats the reaction been in washington to this incident. Well the president took to twitter and said iran made a big mistake at the same time he also stresses repeatedly that he does not want the United States to go to war with iran iran arguing along the same lines you have
some Congress People who responded and are more open to Military Action against iran the big question right now is with which side in the u. S. Government administration will prevail is that the hardliners Like National security advisor john bolton for instance or is the moderate forces and will there at some point be a retaliation maybe another accident or incident that would trigger a war between the 2 countries although the official take is that the United States do not want to go to war the speaker of the house nancy pelosi of the Democratic Party today said the americans do not want to go to war but the United States have to defend their interests what is the appetite all over among President Trumps base and americas in general for war. Well the americans are tired of war and that has been one of the poor promises all the president trying to pull
out of all International Conflicts and that problem is comes in contrast with the actual strategy of Maximum Pressure that he is excerpting on iran on other countries as well that has not proven to be very successful at this point what he wants essentially is to get iran back on the Negotiating Table to get a tougher Nuclear Deal Iran refuses so is saying that the United States have lost all their credibility. After lees leaving the nuclear deal so that will be interesting to follow. Both countries are going to go in a Vicious Circle with the Destination Unknown obvious salat reporting from washington thank you. Britain is a ruling conservatives have narrowed the field of candidates for Prime Minister to 2 men they are former Foreign Minister Boris Johnson and current Foreign Minister jeremy hunt on rigs that hardliner Boris Johnson is seen as the clear front runner
in an upcoming mail in ballot between the 2 candidates about 160000 conservative Party Members are eligible to pick between johnson and hunt the winner becomes britains next Prime Minister the result is expected in late july. In london is on the story for you better get former london mayor and Foreign Minister Boris Johnson he is still the man to beat is this a done deal a lot a done deal but hes the clear favorite not just with m. P. s but also with the party base and they are the ones who are in this last round going to decide who is in the end going to move into Downing Street they love him for his weight his car is ma they dont mind that sometimes he might be a little bit economical with the truth his critics say that hes a lawyer and that hes untrustworthy but the party base they dont mind all this
criticism when ever he appears for example on Party Conferences theres huge applause they really really love him and this is why he is the frontrunner but talk to us a little bit about the other contender mr jeremy hunt. Well jeremy hunt its interesting all of the candidates that were left in these last round he was the only remaining say there will be a clear choice for the party base between the remain and a great 6 here the former the acting for and secretary Jarrett Jeremy hunt is somebody who is seen maybe not ask charismatic as Boris Johnson so lacking those those qualities not as maybe not as eloquent not as which he bought as a Foreign Secretary he did come pat the e. U. Once of the soviet union that didnt go down very well in brussels but i think generally his reputation is more of a good for and Secretary Somebody who has
a multilateralist approach he made much of the fact that he once was an entrepreneur so you want to be seen as somebody who gets things done but as a remainder he will be as at a disadvantage with a party base because the party base is clearly very much probe breck said and as soon as possible right and that of course it means that mr johnson is still probably the front runner if he does indeed in the end Seal The Deal what does it mean for the country and for briggs that. Boris johnson has said that he leaves the option open of leaving with no deal at the end of october this could well be the case if he doesnt manage to get the deal over the line here in parliament he has said that he will go back to brussels that he wants to renegotiate he was really the face of the brics campaign he has made many promises
during the campaign he said that brett seacat would open up the country to be Global Britain once more he said that there will be savings that the 350000000. 00 that he said were going to brussels every week that they could be spend on on the n. H. S. On the Health Service instead he got. A lot of criticism because that wasnt true but he made these shoes from misses and if he does indeed move into Downing Street at the end of the summer he will be held to account barrett masa reporting from london thank you. I should say now about some of the other stories making news Around The World. The United States senate has voted to block the sale of weapons to saudi arabia the move is seen as a rebuke to President Trump who backs arms sales to the saudis and considers the country a key ally in trump has vowed to veto the senate legislation. Former trump a ho picks has testified in
a closed door session of congress about her time in the white house in a Written Statement she said she thought trump was serious and saying he would accept foreign interference in u. S. Elections takes declined to answer many of the questions posed to. Hungary and cortez extent of the prison sentences before People Smugglers convicted last year for the deaths of 71 migrants the smugglers have now received Life Sentences in 3 cases without the possibility of parole migrants suffocated in the back of a refrigerated truck back in 2015. Next of brussels were e. U. Leaders are meeting to decide who will lead the European Unions key institutions following last months parliamentary elections the most high ranking position under discussion is that of the European Commission president a post now held by. But there is no consensus on who should replace him
and that has created a lot of friction between the 2 leading members france and germany. The e. U. Commission the heartbeat of the European Union. 28 Heads Of State and government have gathered in brussels to decide on the new leader but Chancellor Merkel cautions against high expectations. Here in germany we have the situation that both my party the c. D. U. And the s. P. D. Are committed to the top candidate but thats not always the case in the council as we have known for a long time and we will discuss this but we might not have a result today. Kind of given this gift the european partys top candidates have been campaigning throughout the e. U. Liberals conservatives greens and Social Democrats but the french
president doesnt want to limit himself to these candidates when it comes to voting in a new e. U. Commission president so hes risking an open dispute with germany. In my opinion it is up to france to find a solution and not get bogged down in programs to find europes ideal leadership team. But if france doesnt stand behind the top candidate it will need support for its choice even before the summit began president mccall sought to meet with his counterparts one of them is the leader of luxembourg who says he doesnt want to commit himself to one candidate yet. I want to know what were doing and who is doing it for us for Chancellor Merkel and the french president this is about much more than posts its about power and influence in the European Union thats why no one wants to give in it amounts to a poker game and the prize is the e. U. s top position. And that brings us to the
