this is al jazeera. hello i'm rob matheson and this is the news our live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes venezuelan president nicolas maduro says he knows who's behind an attempt on his life but on the rebel group is claiming responsibility. it's the jewish state and the not the jewish god we trust the government and the other name by the knesset. led by the druze community tens of thousands of people protest against israel's new nation state law. and he's still in prison but one of brazil's most popular presidents lula da silva is nominated to run for

office again plus. the. police in the u.s. state of oregon order rival protestors to go home after the demonstrations turned violent. but as well as president nicolas maduro has accused colombia and a group of finance is in the united states of attempting to assassinate him material has been speaking at a military parade in caracas when an explosion has involved interrupted the event information minister says the president was not hurt but seven national guard soldiers have been injured while sagna shot is a venezuela political analyst she's joining us now from washington d.c. thank you very much indeed for being with us ma'am the president has been talking within an hour of this incident happening he's accused colombian president juan manuel santos of being behind it but also a group called los soledad is defined nella has been tweeting out saying it's to

responsible in your experience which do you think it's likely to be. well thank you so much it's not the first time that it has hit in their q. says colombia of some in that range in their political situation in venezuela but i think whatever happens today it is bro really it was started that. went to switzerland on this milly that a group of remember one year ago or so it was her know that initiative coming also from some rebels one of their own also got to paris who was killed by a missile and especially poor sis so it's not the first time and the proof that they really is the by that in the they they started to feel that the whole situation the crisis because this situation in venezuela is only it will already we saw that but it's in my laurels home they said oh announce

a big change in their financial lives system in mind as well that recognizing that he failed so they are going to slash five c. rows in the korean sea and he. they they will see really to make possible. to live in a swell and still have friend now korean sea port in korean sea so it's ever going to meet him that the economic situation is very bad and we see right now is her part of the this is the. venezuela if i understand you correctly ma'am you're referring to the attack last year on the supreme court that's when they had a helicopter i think piloted by an officer a policeman or scott pet is. apparently dropped some sort of an device on to the supreme court in and it was allegedly coup attempt at least that's how the madieu government was describing it at the time that individual is also linked to the group whose name i mentioned earlier on as i said before madonna has addressed the

nation within about an hour or so after the attacks and let's listen to what he had to say. you know thing although i have no doubt that everything points to the right to the venezuelan ultra right in alliance with the colombian ultra right and that the name of juan manuel santos is behind this attack there is nevertheless quite a definitive statement there by the president that he believes that colombia is connected to this attack why would he be led to believe that so soon after the incident. well he has told to find someone who is for sponsible and he has two percent that and the easiest way to is to pull the blame on colombia or a bar hops the u.s. with don't have any proof of that but this is for sure that eve colombe a way into to be or try to in their being in any way in their innocence it wisha that will never be supported by the international community so i don't think along

the i will be ready to risk his ribs with. all the nations. in the international community so it is hard to do to prove that but the way that. in mind this way we don't need all their. stores in order that at the start of. every war lucia in order to start the some initiatives in order to make sure they go over them and they people are suffering in minnesota so what we see the way in what we are going to see probably in the next days is that people is so free in their right to express they see real society is now by our lives and that's why i put all of the military side are going to take some sort of action yes let me ask you a bunch there situation i apologize for interrupting you but yes i want to take you up on that point because one would expect that the material government and

particularly the military is going to respond it feels almost obliged to respond to this action how worried do you think the opposition parties in venezuela going to be even if they're not connected to this incident. well probably where they're going to start a scene that they go over to men are going to. do. the opposition one more time and to pull the lame on the on leaders of the opposition they are already very weak but we know everybody know that the hole that i'm in a mano probably of the youth of force in menace will he think going through the hole in the ocean so if they say it will be very it's not likely that the opposition started that thought such an option because they don't have the means and they them have got power so new shock really appreciate getting your point of

view in this thank you very much for your time. ok there's been a huge protest in israel led by the druze community against the controversial nation's state's law it defines israel as a jewish state and downgrades the outbreak language tens of thousands of people have crammed into television that are being square on saturday waving druze flags and holding signs calling for the bill to be revoked the jews are considered loyal to the state it's the first time in recent history that they've staged a large protest this should be changed so be changed all the citizen is that. we cannot accept something else because we are citizen of army then i want to do it year and we expect from the government to look to us like everybody i mean israeli jew i'm originally from the united states i'm proud to stand with my jewish brothers and sisters for equality because everyone deserves

a fair chance and safety and opportunity our message is that we're all equal ok so where are we want equal rights for everyone for do people for. people for everyone or not from under simmons who's been at the protest. it's rare for the druze to protest in public at all and these are extraordinary numbers at one stage robin square was packed with people jewish people young people old people not only the labor and the other left wing parties of the trail represented here but ordinary folk coming in off the streets have the study said listen. as far as the jews are concerned they are adamant that this law has to be changed radically or ditched i traveled to bates john in northern galilee to find out what the people were saying on the ground. some a-z. down is from a minority excluded by israel in its nation state law she's

a druze arab and her two sons were killed during military service for israel. she makes a promise that if this law doesn't change i will get your body's exuma in this military cemetery and bury you in your grandfather's land. back home is her youngest son yeah i mean his brothers fouad who was eighteen and twenty three year old sylar gave compulsory service in the military yeah i mean became a prison officer in the israeli jail and he says that experience changed his perspective he became a human rights lawyer and activists for palestinians in the occupied west bank. and i feel sad in the blood of my brothers was shed and trying for a lie in an illusion they may have thought the military would give them rights but this law just proves that israel used them like mr aris. the druze are in all

ranks for example major general communal abu rukun is the new coordinator of operations in the occupied territories there's no public comment from him any soldier showing dissent is suspended. we asked the soldiers and officers not to get involved in this load and to depend on us terry for and his delegation were given the promise of a new law giving benefits to minorities in the military but back in bates jan and elsewhere that isn't enough most feel nothing short of scrapping the nation state law will do you can still sense the anger here despite political developments and questions about loyalty continue to reverberate one of them whether young people will still feel the same way about joining the israeli army. this former soldiers loyalty is tested measure decal tb completed his military service before

setting up a restaurant business now he doesn't want his son to become a soldier. and it's up to him but now i say military service shouldn't be compulsory it's all a lie that we've been living for a long time in the nationality law made this very clear. bates jans dead soldiers make the feeling of betrayal here more potent more than sixty names written in hebrew and below what now becomes an unofficial language arabic one of many measures in what most people in this village believe is a racist lol. the question now is how much more pressure can be put on the government will there be any change will it's highly unlikely that benjamin netanyahu will change his policies but then public pressure can affect us there are further protests planned not only by crews who represent two percent of the population but also the israeli arabs who represent twenty percent and then of

course the option of more possible demonstrations all the joining of demonstrations by jews is unclear no one knows really where this is going right now. who the rebels in yemen say they've attacked the king khaled airbase in southern saudi arabia using an armed drone who say they targeted a runway used by the saudi and iraqi led coalition to launch air strikes on yemen the rebels unveiled a so-called haas f one drone last year they've used it to attack a saudi aramco facility and an airport in saudi arabia the conflict armament a research group says the drones do not carry missiles but they have been used as suicide drones to target saudi air defenses in yemen. the spokesman has told al jazeera they're defending themselves against aggression from the military coalition led by saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. was one of the i mean this is

a war it's not our choice we haven't been given any time to discuss things together the u.a.e. and saudi arabia have to stop their aggression because we defend ourselves and the question is against us the american ambassador and the saudi ambassador are trying to impose a government in yemen and this will not be accepted no matter the sacrifices because the yemeni people are now aware of the role of saudi arabia and other parties in yemen we are keen to restore our sovereignty in yemen muhammad out o. has the latest from neighboring djibouti. a spokesman for the filthy fight to say that they are tucked out of runway on the king's college in the south of so that a b. which is mainly used by sodhi and u.a.e. fly to jets to carry out the talks on the positions all filthy fighters inside yemen he called the targets justified on the side this is a role and that they were fighting so d.

tensions around pyongyang's nuclear ambitions north korea promised the us in june that it was committed to ridding the peninsula of all nuclear weapons but experts monitoring north korea's disarmament efforts have just given the un security council a report saying kim jong un is breaking his promise and violating other international sanctions in the process the expert's report says the north continues to build nuclear warheads and ballistic missiles and it's still illegally trading in oil coal textiles and weapons it's also making deals the report says with who the fighters in yemen the syrian government and libyan rebels at the all see on security forum in singapore u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o told reporters it's clear the north koreans are violating international sanctions including the complete shutdown of illegal ship to ship transfers of petroleum destined for north korea we have seen reports.

understand the nature of all behavior deception is part of its business model if you like and so you've been very skeptical all along about north korea in stepping up to in. the spirit of its commitments that has articulated over the last few months the expert's report on north korea has not been officially released but the linked report is raising new questions about whether people in young is serious about giving up its nuclear weapons program and about whether the international community has the will and the ability to make it do so rosalyn jordan al-jazeera at the united nations the brazilian workers party has endorsed former president louis enough we all know that a sofa as candidate for a presidential election they've done this despite him being in jail for corruption and money laundering goes in sao paulo and is looking into why his supporters insist on backing him. new that he. will make brazil happy
