[00:00:19] of
[00:00:21] of of
[00:00:27] Press TV headlines: Iran's IAEA and Voice. slamps the international
[00:00:31] atomic energy agency for referring Iran's nuclear file to the
[00:00:35] security council saying that the move had no legal
[00:00:37] bases. Iran says a planned meeting in Oman
[00:00:41] involving the foreign ministers
[00:00:43] of of the Persian gulf countries to discuss the straight of
[00:00:46] of hormos was canceled at Saudi Arabia's
[00:00:48] request. Andy armed forces
[00:00:51] said they have conducted a large scale military operation against the key saudi
[00:00:55] airbase in the country's southwestern city of Hames Mushaik.
[00:01:17] Hello and good afternoon to you from Tehran, I am Bahman, and this is Press TV
[00:01:21] news. Iran slams the international atomic energy
[00:01:25] agency for referring
[00:01:26] a yoron's nuclear file to the security council, saying that the move had no legal
[00:01:30] basis
[00:01:30] it
[00:01:36] of of is absolutely astonishing and indeed ironing that Austria, in order to justify its
[00:01:40] wrongful act invokes resolutions that
[00:01:44] have been duly and legally terminated
[00:01:47] and or a non-existence committee
[00:01:50] of the UN Security Council. Resolution 2231
[00:01:55] of expired on 18 October 2025 and accordingly all
[00:02:00] UN restrictions against the Islamic Republic of Iran were
[00:02:03] permanently terminated. It is not merely an
[00:02:07] Iranian position is also the firm legal position of two
[00:02:11] permanent members
[00:02:14] a of the security council as well as the countries
[00:02:15] of the non movement. Occasional move in New York in the
[00:02:19] name
[00:02:19] of the so-called committee all ultravirus
[00:02:22] and constitute a blatant abuse
[00:02:25] of the security council's procedures and authority by certain of
[00:02:28] its
[00:02:29] of western members. such a committee has not been officially
[00:02:33] established nor has a single
[00:02:36] in meeting of it been held since
[00:02:38] 2015. the soud legal
[00:02:42] arguments constitute a gross and indeed deliberate distortion
[00:02:46] of the letter and spirit
[00:02:47] of the headquarter
[00:02:48] agreement.
[00:02:54] Iran's ambassador to international organizations in Viena Rajeffi
[00:02:57] made the remark at the opening meeting
[00:02:59] of the annual IAEa General Conference. He slamed
[00:03:03] Austria for refusal to issue a visa to head
[00:03:05] of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Mohammed Islami.
[00:03:09] Iran's envoy said it is evident
[00:03:11] of that in the move occurred under the pressure
[00:03:13] of the US with no legal justification. Najafi said that
[00:03:16] refusal to issue a visa is
[00:03:18] a clear abuse of power and process
[00:03:21] of and further underminds Austria's standing as host of international
[00:03:24] organizations an
[00:03:26] of impartial and professional manner. The 70th.
[00:03:29] AEA general conference will run from September the 14th
[00:03:33] till 18th, leaders, scientists and national
[00:03:36] representatives from 181 member states are attending
[00:03:40] the
[00:03:40] event.
[00:03:46] Well, I'm now joined by Dita Granish Press TV's correspondent joining us from Viena.
[00:03:50] Dita, very good to have you in this news bulletin. What can you tell us about the visa issue
[00:03:54] and also what has been going on in today's meeting and
[00:03:57] session? Yeah. once again here from
[00:04:01] Vienna, I'm standing just outside the conference hall
[00:04:05] in here, you see this is the entrance where you see delegates
[00:04:08] coming and going, and the morning
[00:04:11] in session started at the 10 o'clock local time, that was two hours
[00:04:15] ago, it's now 12 noon here in Vienna,
[00:04:19] and before the actually agenda
[00:04:23] started, as we've just seen there was a protest
[00:04:27] note delivered by the Iranian.
[00:04:30] permanent representative to United Nations here in Viena Resa
[00:04:34] Najafi who harshly criticized the host
[00:04:38] country
[00:04:38] of Austria of for not
[00:04:42] granting or actually revoking the visa
[00:04:45] to the head
[00:04:47] of the Iranian atomic energy
[00:04:50] organization Islamy after
[00:04:53] Teresa Nachafian
[00:04:57] of the Russian
[00:04:58] a representative also delivered. uh a statement uh
[00:05:01] criticizing, really harshly criticizing uh
[00:05:05] this uh
[00:05:06] of move by Austria,
[00:05:08] of and then uh the US representative.
[00:05:12] took the stage and defended defended
[00:05:16] this action afterwards shafi had the right to
[00:05:19] reply uh once again
[00:05:22] and so uh it
[00:05:26] was after that the agenda
[00:05:30] started the voting the the president
[00:05:33] the general conference and then the welcome
[00:05:37] address by DG Rafael
[00:05:40] gross it was
[00:05:42] a b ironic that uh grossi said uh
[00:05:45] he he's asking uh Iran to return
[00:05:49] to corporation negotiations and
[00:05:52] dialogue with the agency on the same day that the head the Iranian
[00:05:56] atomic energy agency is not allowed to attend this conference to
[00:06:00] actually uh address this
[00:06:02] conference uh but uh we we what we saw this
[00:06:06] morning was room that is even more split than ever
[00:06:10] before between the US and their
[00:06:13] allies in Europe and the Iran
[00:06:17] and their allies, particularly Russia and China, but also
[00:06:21] a big number of other states from around the world,
[00:06:25] and there will be a joint statement by these
[00:06:28] countries are drifted by Iran, Russia and China, but supported
[00:06:32] by a large number of IA member
[00:06:36] states criticizing this action and most likely this joint
[00:06:39] statement, I'm hearing at the moment. will be
[00:06:43] delivered on Thursday here uh
[00:06:46] in here uh in
[00:06:49] Vienna um I think it's
[00:06:52] a very shameful episode from the host country Austria
[00:06:56] because we are we are hearing a calls from Europe
[00:07:00] to be more engaged in diplomatic uh
[00:07:03] negotiations dialogue with Iran and then they are
[00:07:07] revoking this visa so what happened actually was that
[00:07:10] initially uh Mr. Isami was granted a Shengen visa,
[00:07:14] so so a visa to enter the
[00:07:17] European Union, and brusure from the United States
[00:07:21] started on Saturday afternoon and shortly before he was about to
[00:07:25] board his plane in Tehran, I was told by Iranian
[00:07:28] delegates, the information from Austria came that
[00:07:32] his visa that had already been granted was revoked and it
[00:07:36] was a visa for all the EU, like a Shengen visa as they are
[00:07:40] called, so it's basically "and that's also
[00:07:43] what an iran delegate uh said to me uh, what we're
[00:07:47] seeing is that uh all European member states
[00:07:51] are actually uh following the order from the United States
[00:07:55] and one must really question if there is still national
[00:07:58] sovereinity here in the European Union seeing this kind of action
[00:08:02] because of a pressure from the United States. Well
[00:08:06] thank you so much for the updated of course we're going to hear more
[00:08:10] from you in the next few hours." correspondent joining
[00:08:13] us from Vienna iran says a
[00:08:17] planned meeting in Oman involving the foreign ministers of Persian gulf countries
[00:08:21] to discuss the straight of horm was cancelled at the request of Saudi
[00:08:25] Arabia.
[00:08:30] The report that has been raised is indeed correct. Saudi Arabia requested
[00:08:34] that the meeting not be held for the time being as for the discussions about
[00:08:38] developments between Saudi Arabia and Yemen being attributed to Iran. That
[00:08:42] is case of pointing the finger in the wrong direction, problems cannot
[00:08:46] be resolved by misdirecting the
[00:08:47] blame.
[00:08:52] Ismile bategorically rejected claims that Iran played role
[00:08:56] an attack on Saudi Arabia and said Washington is spreading false
[00:09:00] reports to deepen divisions among regional states. He said
[00:09:04] Iran had demonstrated its willingness to help address Yemen's longstanding
[00:09:08] problems while respecting the road map agreed between the parties
[00:09:11] concerned. He want that continued conflict among Muslim
[00:09:15] countries would only benefit the Israeli regime. Bai said
[00:09:18] Ansarullah is independent and makes its own decisions based its
[00:09:22] interest. He said Yemen's actions must be understood in the context of
[00:09:26] years of blockade and attacks including strikes by the United States
[00:09:30] and
[00:09:30] Israel.
[00:09:36] Iran says vessels violating its protocols for transit through the
[00:09:40] straight of hormoos could face restrictions on few. passage, including
[00:09:43] fines, detention and confiscation. The Persian Golf Straight Authority
[00:09:47] says cargo owners shipping to or from the Persian Golf have been
[00:09:51] instructed to review the non-compliance list issued by the
[00:09:54] authority before chartering vessels to avoid potential
[00:09:58] problems. Under the new measures, any vessel cooperating with a listed
[00:10:02] ship, including through ship to ship transfers or transshipments
[00:10:06] will also be added to the non-compliance list. Vessel seeking
[00:10:10] removal from the list must submit a formal application. outlining the
[00:10:13] grounds for the request to
[00:10:15] be to the designated Iranian authority. Terran started monitoring the
[00:10:19] straight of hormos since the beginning the US is really aggression in late
[00:10:23] February.
[00:10:27] Iran's IRGC says it intercepted an advanced MQ1
[00:10:31] military drone over the straight of hormos. In a short statement, the IAGC
[00:10:35] said the drone was shot down by its aerospace forces using their
[00:10:39] advanced mod and air defense system. The system is part of Iran's
[00:10:43] integrated air defense network. MQ1, predators
[00:10:46] are the US military's primary remote controlled aircraft for
[00:10:50] offensive operations during the recent US Israely aggression against the
[00:10:54] run armed. forces have shot down dozens of drones and other aircraft
[00:10:58] operated by the US over the straight of hormous and across the
[00:11:02] country. the
[00:11:06] yemini armed forces say they have conducted a large scale in targeting our country and
[00:11:10] our people, and in light the significant escalation they are carrying out by launching more than
[00:11:13] 300 air strikes in the past 5 days with Saudi F-15 and typhoon fighter
[00:11:17] jets launched from Kamas mashate and tape airbases targeted most yemini
[00:11:21] provinces. By the grace of Allah, the Yemani armed forces carried out a large scale.
[00:11:25] military operation targeting military facilities and infrastructure, including
[00:11:28] aircraft hangers, radar installations, runways, ammunition depots and
[00:11:32] other targets at King Khalid airbase in Camas Mache. dozens of ballistic missiles
[00:11:36] and drones were used and the strikes were precise and direct thanks to all his power
[00:11:40] and might, the spokesman said
[00:11:44] the operation inflicted significant damage on the base, sari vout to
[00:11:48] continue military operations deep inside Saudi Arabia as long as the
[00:11:52] kingdom continues its aggression against the people of Yemen, the spokesman
[00:11:56] warned that any new attack will trigger a broader and more intense
[00:12:00] operation by the yemeny forces. He added that sanaz sticks with
[00:12:03] its policy of reciprocating any act of aggression and maintaining a siege
[00:12:07] on Saudi Arabia's shipping in the Red Sea until Riyav and this
[00:12:11] blockade on Yemen. The comments come after the Yemen forces liberated
[00:12:15] key areas along the country's western coast that over look the
[00:12:19] strategic straight of Babel
[00:12:21] Mandab.
[00:12:31] Yes, there is, there has been a lot of air strikes
[00:12:35] coming from Saudi Arabia, they intensified their air
[00:12:39] strikes since the yemy armed forces was able to
[00:12:43] secure the west coast line of yemen, including
[00:12:46] babil mandab straight, that is very important
[00:12:49] checkpoint going through it, about 10 to
[00:12:53] 12% the... trade uh so Saudi Arabia
[00:12:57] continued its hostile aggression against the Yemani
[00:13:01] governates over the past five days yah
[00:13:05] the spokes person for
[00:13:06] the Yemen Army for the Yemen Army
[00:13:09] forces just announced that there has been
[00:13:13] about 300 strikes in the past in the past
[00:13:17] five days which is a big number
[00:13:20] also just to days ago there was uh
[00:13:25] attack from the Yemani armed forces on the Sharura
[00:13:28] base and now there is attack
[00:13:32] again on the Khamis mush and the king
[00:13:36] Khalid airplace which is about 100
[00:13:40] kilometers away from Yemen
[00:13:43] borders.
[00:13:47] Right, well tell me about um what it means of course for the
[00:13:51] future the interactions between Yemen and Saudi Arabia of course.
[00:13:55] um
[00:13:55] the yeminist have always welcomed diplomacy and when it comes to
[00:13:59] solving the problems between the two neighbors, how different is this
[00:14:02] time? um, I'm very
[00:14:06] sorry, could you repeat the question? yes of course, what does the
[00:14:10] situation, the current situation mean for the future of
[00:14:14] diplomatic relations between Yemen and Saudi Arabia? I'm sure that Yemen has
[00:14:18] always welcomed diplomacy when it comes to solving the problems between the
[00:14:21] two neighbors, how different is this time?
[00:14:27] It is very different a very significant
[00:14:31] way, Yemen and Saudi Arabia had a
[00:14:35] history of diplomacy, especially since
[00:14:38] 2022 when they
[00:14:42] had a peace agreement, peace fire
[00:14:45] agreement and they reach in
[00:14:48] 2023 and signed the road map to end the
[00:14:52] war against Yemen, but also 23
[00:14:56] the the Germany armed forces start to to
[00:14:59] help the gazans and the Palestinians
[00:15:03] against the Israeli regime and the Yemani
[00:15:06] officials stated that since then Saudi Arabia
[00:15:10] refused to continue on what it find in
[00:15:14] in in the road map in 2023, so the
[00:15:17] diplomatic path has been experienced
[00:15:21] and tried among this war to stop this aggression and
[00:15:25] to stop this catastrophe that's been described by the
[00:15:28] UN at the time as the worst human
[00:15:32] crisis made by men and the human
[00:15:36] kind themselves. "it's been uh, it's been tried
[00:15:40] to go that path, but it didn't work, that's why yamany armed forces are going
[00:15:44] now, in the military operations
[00:15:47] and choice to pressure
[00:15:50] Saudi and to give it message, we cannot
[00:15:53] stay in the phase of no war
[00:15:57] and no peace, it's either we both
[00:16:00] live as as as sovereignty
[00:16:03] countries or are gna really feel the..." are
[00:16:07] gna really feel the damage
[00:16:10] of this bloccade and this war, it cannot just go one
[00:16:14] way arabia cannot go with its
[00:16:17] 2013 vision and while Yemen
[00:16:21] is facing the hunger and the human
[00:16:24] crisis that's been affected by nearly
[00:16:28] 80% of Yemanies are are in
[00:16:32] need for for the aid from
[00:16:35] outside uh and aid from human
[00:16:38] organization that cannot continue, Saudi Arabia don't want to
[00:16:42] go in the peace and their negotiations then we will do
[00:16:46] it the hard way, that's what uh Germany officials are uh
[00:16:50] stating right and the are the of course the any armed
[00:16:54] forces the braved advancement towards um areas
[00:16:58] overlooking the red sea and and of course the
[00:17:01] bubble mandip straight has taken a lot of people around the
[00:17:05] world lot of analys by so... price, do you think the Saudies also were
[00:17:09] surprised by the speed the Yemini
[00:17:13] forces advancement? to be
[00:17:17] honest, of course they were, they were really, they
[00:17:21] were surprised, I was talking to some
[00:17:25] fighters who participated and
[00:17:28] some soldiers who participated in the liberating
[00:17:32] operation the west coast, and they told me they were
[00:17:35] themselves surprised. how fast they they
[00:17:39] withdraw their their their lines and they
[00:17:43] didn't stand chance against the yemen armed forces, when
[00:17:47] i asked them about what do you think, what what was the
[00:17:50] reason did you did you use different tactics? did you use
[00:17:54] anything different differently? they said that nothing
[00:17:58] was different, but the reason for that rapid
[00:18:02] expansion for the yemen armed forces, as the
[00:18:05] soldiers say was just the... by god a
[00:18:09] blessing as described it this rav
[00:18:12] expansion in the west coast and still
[00:18:16] the advanced in different frontlines,
[00:18:19] including in the
[00:18:23] in the district that was being targeted in
[00:18:27] aljo, there is lot of lot of fighting going
[00:18:30] on there, they tried to take
[00:18:34] alatama but they failed. they just
[00:18:38] got in for five minutes and after that they were driven
[00:18:41] out in married the fight is still
[00:18:45] taking to place and they failed to advance any
[00:18:49] these front lines, it's was surprising
[00:18:53] not just for the enemy forces themselves
[00:18:55] and yeah of course we know that the Saudi Arabia is now
[00:18:59] facing immense pressure its um energy infrastructure as
[00:19:03] well as its military installations and they have als
[00:19:07] even reportedly asked President Trump to get involved uh with
[00:19:11] American military force and something that uh President Trump has obviously
[00:19:15] rejected. Do you think um this also is going to
[00:19:19] change the equation as of this
[00:19:21] moment?
[00:19:26] uh, we we need to state that the Saudi Arabia
[00:19:30] decision isn't made in Saudi Arabia, or it's not even
[00:19:34] made, oh god, it's uh, it is
[00:19:37] coordinated with the USA green line
[00:19:41] uh, which I don't think it has given Saudi
[00:19:45] Arabia, the green light to to
[00:19:48] go a peace negotiations with Yemen
[00:19:52] and the Yemanis, that's the main problem
[00:19:56] for the moment, you know there's been a logistics
[00:20:00] port from USA to to the to the
[00:20:04] Saudi Arabia kingdom and there is about one
[00:20:08] American experts in Saudi Arabia
[00:20:11] regarding their military hostility against
[00:20:15] Yemen, so I don't think anything would go forward as
[00:20:19] long as USA is not allowing the Saudi Arabia to
[00:20:23] continue its peace negotiations that
[00:20:26] was that was mentioned by the chief negotiator
[00:20:30] here in Gaman Muhammad Abdussalam saying the reason why Saudi
[00:20:33] Arabia did not go forward with the rude map that's been signed in.
[00:20:37] 2023, it's because as Saudis
[00:20:41] described it, it is a USA
[00:20:44] pressure, since Saudi Arabia doesn't have its own
[00:20:48] choice, I don't think it's we would go anywhere uh,
[00:20:52] it is just circling at the same, the
[00:20:55] same uh, i appreciate your
[00:20:59] reporting in dtial wazi press tv's correspondent joining us
[00:21:02] from the hudaida port and with that we come to the end of this news bulletin, thank
[00:21:06] you so much for staying with us on press

[00:22:48] اولا اینکه گفته میشه. محاصله اقتصادی آمریکا باعث
[00:22:52] شده که قطی به وجود بیاد خب این یه دروغ بزرگه
[00:22:56] چرا چون دولت ما از مدت ها قبل به فکر بوده و به
[00:23:00] اندازه کافی ما ذخایر مواد غذایی کالاهای اساسی رو

[00:23:29] تغییر دیگری که در حقیقت به
[00:23:33] وجود اومده اینه که هم دولت ما هم
[00:23:37] بازرگانانان ما الان به طور جدی بسیج
[00:23:41] شدن که ما چرا اصلا تجارت ایران رو
[00:23:44] فقط به دریا متکی
[00:23:48] کردیم در اطراف ایران.
[00:24:20] but it isn't a new phenomenon. It
[00:24:24] has roots in the past decades since newspapers were the only mass
[00:24:28] media. Today the old tactics have
[00:24:32] become more complicated and of course
[00:24:34] scarier. They're everywhere
[00:24:38] with
[00:24:38] you.
[00:24:42] They even offer you free services to get your attention, but don't be
[00:24:46] duped. The old.
[00:24:50] saying goes, if you are not paying for the product, then you are the
[00:24:54] product,
[00:25:18] tonight on expos day with begin with mainstream digital media where the New York Times
[00:25:22] and the Hill reveal turmoil at the highest levels the
[00:25:26] Trump administration, from the resignation the army secretary to
[00:25:30] military descent over the war against Iran, then in social media we
[00:25:34] turn to the explosive criticism confronting Washington over
[00:25:37] its increasingly apologetic alignment with Zionist
[00:25:40] Israel. In fake news, CNN's framing of Iranian retaliation
[00:25:44] comes under scrutiny, while the independent offers
[00:25:48] remarkable glimps into the... out surrounding an overstretched US
[00:25:52] military and in figures we follow the numbers to Jordan
[00:25:56] examining the economic, security and human cost of
[00:25:59] hosting US forces, finally invoices Peter Benard
[00:26:03] and John Stewart challenge a deeply entrenched
[00:26:07] narrative about power and victimhood welcome
[00:26:10] to expose the award winning show that leaves no stone on
[00:26:13] turned.
[00:26:20] From CNN's headline flipping the chronology of us iran escalation to
[00:26:24] the independent exposing the extraordinary precautions
[00:26:28] surrounding thousands of US sailors. Today's stories reveal how...
[00:26:32] media framing and military conduct can tell two very different
[00:26:36] tales. Here are the headlines. CNN headline
[00:26:40] war. Iran blamed for retaliation as US strikes get
[00:26:43] buried. 5000 sailors 200 days at sea. Why
[00:26:47] pataya is preparing for more than a military
[00:26:50] visit?
[00:26:57] As western media scrumble to frame Iran's retaliation as aggression
[00:27:01] while overlooking. what triggered it? and as another story
[00:27:05] exposes the darker side of an overstretch US military, we examine
[00:27:09] the narratives behind the headlines. joining us a broadcast media expert
[00:27:13] for and analyst, welcome to you both, fuad. thank
[00:27:16] you far, thank you. so the US media machine is hyped once again as
[00:27:20] Iran retaliates to relentless US aggression,
[00:27:24] by targeting US assets in Arab countries, arab countries that appear
[00:27:27] unwilling to acknowledge simple reality. the reality is that allowing
[00:27:31] Washington to use your... territory and to use your bases to attack the
[00:27:35] Islamic Republic can make you legitimate targets and can make your territory
[00:27:39] part the battlefield, so our first example from CNN with
[00:27:43] the headline Iran attacks Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait, defying
[00:27:47] Trump's warning, so notice the wording, it
[00:27:49] attacks, but the reality described inside the report of course
[00:27:53] tells a different story, so let's watch. The
[00:27:57] US military also says it strikes across the country, we're
[00:28:01] responding to Iran's. attacks on US troops in the
[00:28:04] region and commercial shipping in the straight of hormoz. Iran
[00:28:08] quickly defied President Trump's warning to not retaliate and
[00:28:12] launched ballistic missile attacks on Jordan, as well as we see
[00:28:16] here Jordan saying it intercepted 10 missiles from Iran
[00:28:20] and another three fell in remote areas. Kuwait and Bahrain
[00:28:24] say they intercepted drone attacks from
[00:28:26] Iran. CNN's Kevin Liptach is joining us right now from
[00:28:30] the White House. What are you hearing? kevin this morning from the
[00:28:34] administration? well, president Trump certainly does not sound
[00:28:38] like a man a hurry to get this conflict over with, despite uh
[00:28:42] the spike in oil prices and despite concerns from many of his republican
[00:28:45] allies that this could hurt them in the mid-term elections. this
[00:28:49] latest round of tensions began on Sunday when the
[00:28:53] US attacked Iranian positions on Larach Island that it
[00:28:56] said we're preparing to launch uh mines into the straight of
[00:29:00] Formus
[00:29:01] that prompted Iranian retaliation, which prompted US retaliation, which
[00:29:05] prompted Iranian retaliation, back to this familiar
[00:29:09] pattern of back and for strikes that has drawn in almost every
[00:29:12] country in the region uh that houses those tens of thousands
[00:29:16] of US
[00:29:17] troops.
[00:29:21] so the headline places Iran at the beginning the chain of aggression, but if you
[00:29:25] listen carefully to CNN's own reporter, you hear the contradiction?
[00:29:29] yeah, actually, you now, Kevin Liptach, CNN's reporter,
[00:29:32] acknowledges actually that the sequence began with the US attacking Iranian positions
[00:29:36] on larak island and which was followed by Iranian
[00:29:40] retaliation and followed by then another US retaliation so even
[00:29:43] CNN's own reporting is contradicting the simplistic framing of
[00:29:47] Iran as the initiator okay which makes the headline
[00:29:51] particularly revealing uh sema i mean the um
[00:29:54] audiences or audience sees Iran attacks Jordan
[00:29:58] as far as highlighting Bahrain and Kuwait but the report itself
[00:30:02] describes the cycle triggered by a US attack, the contact is
[00:30:06] buried beneath the headline in the story, and this is
[00:30:10] actually miraculously how propaganda can continue to operate without
[00:30:13] inventing facts, so you selectively frame them, the words that are spoken during the
[00:30:17] report, tell one story, but the headline its own is priming
[00:30:21] viewers to absorb another, even if you're presenting them with reality, which is let's say the
[00:30:25] US initiated, yes, sailors arrive after 200
