BBC World Service - Newshour, Iran tanker spotted near Syrian coast

Oil tanker seen sailing near Syrian coast, new images show

Oil tanker seen sailing near Syrian coast, new satellite images show.

Despite a pledge it would not head there, satellite images appear to show an Iranian tanker off the coast of Syria. The Adrian Darya-1 was seized by Gibraltar at the beginning of July on suspicion of violating European sanctions. Also on the programme: an Afghan human rights activist pays tribute to a colleague killed by the Taliban; and we hear from a mother who lost her son on the Malaysian Airlines flight about how the prisoner swap between Ukraine and Russia impacts her fight for justice.
