consultancy dryad global and over in new jersey via skype we have lawrence brennan he teaches maritime law at fordham university thanks very much for joining us on inside story and welcome to all a few fill if i may start with you over in london is it fair to say that part of that cheaper and easier process of registration in another country doesn't mean fewer regulations for these ships and recent incidents in the gulf are now shining a spotlight on certain issues. i think it's fair to say that the industry as a whole has improved its standards considering over the last decade or so and most of the prominent flags of convenience are all signatories to the best and highest standards the thing to remember is that a flag of convenience is ineffective effectively a business and the businesses are trying to attract their customers and we talk about panama being the largest so what it offers is a set of regulation and standards and as you mentioned every vessel has to ascribe to a flag therefore it's trying to attract as much business to itself now they may all ascribe to the highest on the safe or enviro

it the right to seize the ship for investigation lawrence brennan is an adjunct professor of law at fordham university where he teaches admiralty and international maritime law he joins us via skype now from a touchin in new jersey thanks very much for being with us so if we if we put the put aside the politics of all of this for a moment each side is saying that it acted lawfully what does maritime law say about all this. that there are certain rights of transit through international straits that are afforded to all busy ships warships commercial ships government privately owned ships but that does not absolve them from liability and responsibility there has been a history of interception and civil arrest of merchant ships by iran's during the past 35 plus years. 2 years ago a merced container ship was arrested in or near the strait of hormuz allegedly for commercial debt in maritime law ships are treated as if they were persons the same as individuals or corporations and are subject to civil proceedings a unique maritime proceeding is that there is a leant on the ship and the ship can be

good sugarman is professor of war fordham university he says it is likely the democrats will increase their efforts to build a stronger case against the president. i think the key thing today is that i think more democrats i don't think this moves republicans at all but they were never going to be moved by today anyway and i think what happens is that coming out of today democrats may be more galvanized i think that there were enough moments and i think you saw there was a press conference where nancy pelosi adam schiff. gerald now adler and allies are cummings all appeared together and even though they didn't say anything about bringing in starting a formal impeachment inquiry i think there was a show of unity about next steps i think it's possible that more of the democratic caucus says ok look we need to move forward in some way i think it's more likely we get to a formal impeachment inquiry even if that doesn't get us to and it piecemeal vote that is important legally because the next thing the democrats are doing they're litigating over subpoenas tax returns financial records it'

navy captain and a maritime law expert he's currently an adjunct professor of law at fordham university good to have you on the program now the iranian foreign ministry has called these actions of. sanctioning or the ship as an act of piracy how accurate is that. precisely imprecise and wrong it is not piracy piracy is an act by a non nation state this isn't an foresman of legal procedures and sanctions that have been imposed over a number of years the facts are important here and the facts are changing and they have changed in puerto natures this afternoon the ship according to panama is no longer registered under the panamanian flag. we don't have the details if there was permission granted by panama before the events occurred this morning in gibraltar. but iran has never claimed to own the ship the documents that were reported in the media concerning the ownership in the oil that was being shipped were was that the oil was iraqi not iranian so what is iran's legal basis for making the argument unless they are conceding that they operate at the ship and loaded the oil in contravention

wednesday's testimony in washington by the former special counsel jed sugarman is professor of law at fordham university joins us from newton massachusetts thanks very much for being with us. so what were the main takeaways for you then of robert wallace appearance before congress. well one main takeaway it was that he might not be a morning person he was far more engaged and energetic and revealing in the sec in the afternoon with the set with the house intelligence committee focused on volume one of the report on the russia russia meddling and the russia trump contacts. it's all it seems likely to me that muller worked more on that volume one on russia he seemed less engaged less sure less familiar with the volume to discussion in the morning on obstruction this might reflect mahler's greater interest in russia generally in counterintelligence generally and less interested in some of the technicalities of the executive branch and obstruction all a lot of people on all sides of the political special did remark on his handling of the questions and his general performance as as a witness and t
