who had entered the constitution and for good are doing his will in the public. a group calling itself the lost soul dartos day for a net loss claimed responsibility in a series of tweets this one with the phrase time is running out a few hours after the attack president maduro addressed the nation saying right wing groups within the country were responsible but also accusing the colombian president one manual santos of involvement in looking for a mark and i have to inform you that some of those who carried out the attack against me today have already been apprehended and they are now being processed in not doing although they are they tried to assassinate me and i have no doubt that everything points to the right the venezuelan ultra right in alliance with the colombian ultra right and that the name of one man well santos is behind this attempt of president maduro praying to victory in the elections earlier this year but his political opponents insisted the process was rigged many venezuelans hold

him accountable for a major economic collapse that could see the inflation rate hit one million percent by the end of the year. mike hanna his era of fighting in eastern ethiopia is being followed by a whitening rift between the government and and regional leaders at least fifty people died in ethnic fighting which began when ethiopian troops were sent from the capital to make arrests injured jigger in somali state local military there for the ethiopian army and groups of ethnic somalis were reported to have been to businesses political leaders in somali state have long campaigned to join neighboring somalia. is in neighboring djibouti mohammed your sources telling us the latest information from this area. while a bit of a town condo in the city of the couple of the somali region to be here pure which lies on the border if you appear shares with somalia residents of the city won't
12:06 pm
friday to see tunks and troops rolling into the city taking over holliman some of the main streets and also surrounding the presidency and office of the president of the somali region and now government officials and others some of us say this was innocent tainted by a rift between them and the regional administration and a full on by the leaders of the region to announce separation and independence from ethiopia something they say is enshrined in the crystal titian but was being done in a constitutional monarchy that is when the local police exchanged fire with the government troops and then in that is assuming confusion looting started. to try just one fund on and a list of fifty people help. why were the ethiopian troops sent in the first place
12:07 pm
. well for a while now prime minister. reforms he has initiated in the country been trying to change some of the. regional leaders and the government the federal government had been accusing the administration in the somalia region of cutting out. human rights abuses against the people and it is that refusal government officials say the regional president that he's to come. that led to the troops being deployed. wouldn't mean that if the ethiopian prime minister was correct in his assertion that there was abuse going on in this region people would have welcomed those ethiopian forces with open arms i guess. yes but what you should
12:08 pm
understand. that ethiopia is an ethnic federal state where they are nine major regions that are based on the ethnicity of the people living next to and enjoy a. hold on so people were really shocked to see federal forces in their midst something that reminds them of course. when they have lived under subjugation and control of the central government so these also politicians taking advantage of the whole thing you know the prime minister is on or more there's been a conflict between almost all somalis for years now their territorial disputes between them so a lot of emotions were used to try and. bring some public uprising here that regional president has denied that he had plans to announce suppression of the
12:09 pm
region from ethiopia and he say this was just the federal government flexing its muscles and trying to. to to to to make its point known you know forcefully thanks very much. well from one developing story to another one the israeli cabinet has now started its meeting with a controversial nation state law expected to be high on the agenda there have been growing protests the latest from the druze community which led a huge rally against the new legislation in tel aviv on saturday night many are angry that the new law defines israel as a jewish state and downgrades the arabic language the druze are considered loyal to the state and are simmons has the story for us live out of west jerusalem and or anything coming out of this cabinet meeting as of this hour. no there isn't and we don't expect anything anytime soon there will be some sort of indication of what's being discussed later on sunday but you can be sure that there is going to
12:10 pm
be perhaps are raised eyebrows at the scale of this demonstration when you look at it from above you can see well as tens of thousands no one's going to like you a figure of just what size it was but one distinct feature is of concern to the israeli cabinet you can be sure and that is the numbers of jews in israeli jews turning out for this demonstration as well i mean some organized by the labor left others just turning up and there were a large number of them i was there i spoke to quite a few people who just wanted to be there to demonstrate against what they see as undemocratic moves being made by the present government with this nation state law however it has to be said that the main dru's protest very large unprecedented attack called so many issues particularly the issue of mandatory service in the
12:11 pm
israeli military because of course there's been a lot of concern over this now when you contrast that with the palestinians with israeli citizenship that's a larger number and they've not demonstrated in any size yet they represent twenty percent of the population in israel so you can expect more demonstrations as one fixed for saturday and we could see some demonstrations possibly outside the knesset the parliament when the knesset is reconvened on wednesday that is a session that won't mean any voting on issues but certainly it's going to raise the whole issue up again so this is a major concern although no real doubt about the numbers benjamin netanyahu can be assured the railroad this through it just depends on the public reaction and how it plays out so in real terms it's not potentially a problem for mr netanyahu despite the fact that the druze clearly occupy such
12:12 pm
a unique place in israeli society. well that's a good point peter it isn't really a problem for him but he's got to gauge this carefully because events lead to certain political situations not being quite the same as they started out so will this grow probably yes can he get a deal probably no this stage he can't it can't possibly repeal this law politically canny amend it that's unlikely to kind of come up with another law that's a possibility perhaps but then the drews are playing hard and we expect the palestinian citizenship to have a similar reaction there represented by the arab list members of the knesset they are going to play hardball it seems very hard ball they see nothing other than netanyahu losing the next election or going sooner to solve the problem they just
12:13 pm
as long as netanyahu is around these members of knesset say there is no hope and many thanks. the islamic state of iraq and the levant has executed a druze teenager from the syrian village of shopkeeper according to local media that's in the southwestern province of so wider mohammad amar was one of thirty six people mostly women and children kidnapped by eisel last month the nineteen year old was killed on thursday after negotiations to release the hostages failed three soldiers serving with the nato force in afghanistan have been killed in a suicide attack on u.s. and two afghan soldiers have also been injured in a struck in parwan province north of kabul. of course in zimbabwe have denied bail to more than twenty opposition supporters have been charged with inciting public violence the leading opposition candidate says the charges are politically motivated six people were killed on weapons and soldiers opened fire at a protest against alleged vote rigging malcolm where. the police say these people

12:20 pm
makers have been rushing to deliver aircraft to iran before u.s. sanctions go into effect on monday it's received thirteen of the twenty airplanes it bought from the franco italian a.t.r. and iran says the sanctions are endangering lives by blocking the sale of new. planes and spare parts its aging fleet well ron's deal with a five hundred thirty six million dollars other plane makers such as us and boeing have already pulled out of iran during the ninety day wind period iran air was planning to buy thirty eight billion dollars worth of new passenger planes from those two companies saying bus robbie joins us now from tehran saying looking at the figures and the number of aircraft how does this stack up with where iran wanted to be around about the time of the nuclear deal being signed. well it has to be said any time something like this happens the delivery of new
12:21 pm
aircraft it is a positive thing it's a happy occasion in iran many officials were at the international airport to celebrate the arrival of five more new planes but let's let's look at the real numbers here in the grand scheme of things it's just a drop in the bucket these planes five of them each of them can carry between seventy and eighty people and they've got five they wanted to buy from airbus and boeing thirty nine billion dollars worth of planes that was approximately two hundred plus planes they were intending to buy over the next few years of those they've only taken delivery of three so while this is a positive step it's a very small one and they've got a long way to go to modernize what is effectively an aging air fleet is that the the knob of where they want to go from a business point of view that they've got aging fleet old aircraft and they need to modernize. absolutely the need to
12:22 pm
modernize is a desperate one traveling by air in iran can be a dangerous prospect hundreds of people have died in air related incidents in accidents over the last few years and really the crux of this is that since one thousand nine hundred nine they've been unable to buy any new aircraft any aircraft with u.s. parts in it or developed or manufactured by the united states has effectively been unsellable to the iranian market and so we've seen even in their military one of the aircraft they're still flying is the plane developed by the americans in the seventy's and eighty's the f. fourteen tomcat on the civilian side one of the benefits that was going to be enjoyed of the twenty fifty nuclear deal directly by the civilians was going to be air travel that was tangible that was visible it would have been something that would have directly affected people's lives and it was going to be a win win for civilian air travel within the country and outside of iran and it was going to be a win for the government who could say to their people look we made this deal and
12:23 pm
now we've got better plane safer planes for you to travel around in but that is not happening and that's another frustration that people here are feeling because of those u.s. sanctions zain thanks a lot. a leading syrian scientist reportedly involved in missile development has been killed by an explosion he was. his driver died in the blast as well side of hama in twenty twelve an armed group killed another senior scientist in damascus israel and western intelligence agencies were accused of being involved turkey and russia seem to have come to an agreement to stop the syrian government from carrying out a military offensive on it live any renewed fighting there would trigger a humanitarian crisis so the collapse of the so-called process is in the heart of. president bashar assad says it live is the syrian army's next target the opposition controlled northwestern province is home to almost three million people at least half. displaced from other rebel areas after so-called surrender deals. but the
