A recording has emerged of a radio exchange between a British warship and Iran's Revolutionary Guard shortly before a British-flagged oil tanker was seized in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday. The Royal Navy frigate can be heard warning the Iranians not to impede the passage of the Stena Impero in violation of international law. Tom Bateman is following events in the region. You get a real sense of the urgency with which the British naval frigate was trying to prevent the interception of the Stena Impero by those Iranian fastboats, but we're just unable to do so. The UK is trying to tread a delicate path here because on the one hand they said that they are determined to maintain freedom of navigation here. But the more military resources that are put in place can also send a signal to the Iranians at a time when frankly, Britain is trying to deescalate this situation.
周五,一艘悬挂英国国旗的油轮在霍尔木兹海峡被扣押,在此之前的一段英国军舰和伊朗革命卫队之间的无线电通话录音现在也曝光了。录音中可以听到皇家海军护卫舰警告伊朗不要违反国际法阻碍史丹纳帝国号通过。以下是汤姆•贝特曼在当地的追踪报道。你能真切地感受到英国海军护卫舰试图阻止伊朗快艇拦截史丹纳帝国号的紧迫性,但我们却无能为力。英国正试图在这里走一条有风险的航路,因为一方面他们表示决心维护这里的航行自由。但是现在部署更多的军事资源也可以向伊朗发出一个信号,英国正努力在缓和局势。
The humanitarian group SOS Mediterranee says it has resumed migrant rescue operations off the coast of Libya. The resumption of its activities in the Mediterranean comes seven months after the group abandoned efforts using its ship, the Aquarius, saying it was being obstructed by some European countries. Here is Mike Sanders. The new vessel flying the Norwegian flag is called Ocean Viking. Its crew of thirty-one includes nine members of the humanitarian group Doctors Without Borders. SOS Mediterranean has launched a multilingual video appeal for donations. Not once does the film mentioned the word migrants. The Ocean Viking could have a short operational life. Italy's Interior Minister Matteo Salvini closed Italian ports to migrant rescue vessels thirteen months ago. Last month the German-run ship Sea-Watch 3 was impounded and its captain Carola Rackete arrested for flouting that ban.
人道主义组织地中海SOS表示,他们已经恢复了在利比亚海岸的移民救援行动。七个月前,该组织放弃使用其“宝瓶座”号,称该船受到一些欧洲国家的阻挠。以下是迈克•桑德斯报道。这艘悬挂挪威国旗的新船叫“海洋维京号”,船上有31名船员,包括人道主义组织无国界医生组织的9名成员。地中海SOS组织发起了一个多语种视频募捐活动。这部视频一次也没有提到移民这个词。海洋维京号的使用周期可能很短。意大利内政部长马泰奥•萨尔维尼在13个月前禁止移民救援船只进入意大利港口。上个月,德国“海上观察3号”被扣押,船长拉克特因藐视禁令被捕。
