this time on just. venezuela's president blames the us in colombia for an assassination attempt claimed by a rebel group. i'm sam is a down this is al jazeera live from doha also coming out. and she joins state and the not the jewish we ask the government and all the named members of the knesset to delete these who. led by the druze community tens of thousands of people protest against israel's new nation state law. still in prison and still one of brazil's most popular presidents is nominated to run for office again plus.

police in the u.s. state of oregon order rival protesters to go home after demonstrations turned violent. venezuela's president nicolas maduro has accused colombia and a group of finances in the u.s. of attempting to assassinate him but they're always speaking at the military parade in caracas when an explosion interrupted the event the information minister says the president was not hurt but seven national guard soldiers were. but they were addressed the nation shortly after the attack you know tingled i have no doubt that everything points to the right to the venezuelan ultra right and alliance with the colombian ultra right and that the name of one manuel santos is behind that attack . sania shot is a venezuela political analyst she says the attack is likely to have come from angry

venezuelans rather than colombia it's not the first time that but is it in their q. says colombia of some intervention in their political situation in venezuela but i think whatever happens today it is bro really it was started in. amman when a swell and this military group remember one year ago or so it was her know that initiative coming also from some rebels one of their own all scarred paris who was killed by the minister lang special forces so it's not the first time and it proved that the military is the by that in the they they started to feel that the whole situation the crisis because this situation in venezuela is only better will already we saw that but is it my lord or some days ago announce a big change in their financial lives system in minutes for recognizing that he

failed so they are going to slash five c. rows in the korean c. and he's some. day they will see really to make possible. the libyan assailants to have her and now korean sea port in korean sea so it's a recognition that the economic situation is very bad so what we see right now is her part of the this is this have this faction i'm on venezuelans there's been a huge protest in israel led by the druze community against a controversial nation state law that defines israel as a jewish state and downgrades the arabic language tens of thousands of people have crammed into televisa rabin square on saturday waving druze flags and holding signs calling for the bill to be provokes the druze are considered loyal to the state it's the first time in recent history they've staged a large protest. more now 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 israel represented here but ordinary folk coming in off the streets have the choice to listen to a book as far as the jews are concerned they are adamant that this law has to be changed radically or ditched i travel to bates' jang in northern galilee to find out what the people were saying on the ground. on his 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. the americans you have there if this law doesn't change i will get your

bodies excluded from this military cemetery and bury you in your grandfather's land . back home is her youngest son yeah i mean his brother's fuad who was eighteen and twenty three year old sylar gave compulsory service in the military yeah i mean became a prison officer in an 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. i feel sad in the blood of my brothers was shed and crying 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 chemical abu rukun is the new coordinator of operations in the occupied territories there is no public comment from him any soldier showing dissent is suspended. we ask 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 beit 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 completed his military service before setting up a restaurant business now he doesn't want his son to become a soldier. 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 law. 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 over 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 holiday air base in saudi arabia

using an armed drone who three say they targeted a runway used by the saudi and the rotty led coalition to launch air strikes on yemen the rebels unveiled so-called asif one drone last year they've used it to attack an all facility in their fourteen saudi arabia the conflict armament 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 described the attack to al-jazeera as defensive. had we had a whopper of it 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 aggression 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

a toc or international airport something that was quickly didn't buy buy you a free szell's if it is true that they've been cutting out these attacks it tells you that the who's the fights us up to the teeth and the so you equally should family believes that it's iran but the supplying the who fight us with these weapons and one of the reasons why they're cutting out the toc on the city of they that and want the who these kate saying it is a poll to which they have been using totally on themselves. the brazilian workers' party has endorsed former president of the ways in our solar the silver as its candidate for october's presidential election that's despite him being in jail for corruption and money laundering daniel is in sao paolo and is looking into why his supporters insist on backing him. will make brazil
