quite unprecedented why should the media or most of the media covering the events on the ground find his way his opposition says this president nicolas maduro could impose a crackdown after what he's calling an assassination attempt and who accuses colombia and a group of us finances of trying to kill him he was speaking at a military parade in the capital caracas when an apparent explosion interrupted the event mike hanna reports. broadcast of the ceremony on national television the camera begins to shake and president maduro looks into the as explosions sound before the feed is cut. soldiers who had been on parade are seeing the ng in panic a number reported to be injured in the blasts you know as there are only investigation as evidence that shows those that didn't in the constitution of the good are doing his will in the public. a group calling itself the last day for and their last 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 nothing although the 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 manuel santos is behind this attempt 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. the u.s.

has denied any involvement in the alleged attack let's get more from rob reynolds in washington d.c. what exactly is the u.s. government saying about this. well you know president maduro did not explicitly blame the united states government for any. involvement in the incident with the drone at the military parade in caracas on saturday he did mention or or implicate financial interest rate wing parties some of whom he said were active in the u.s. state of florida in miami but he didn't say come right out and say anything about the administration trying to have him sasa david nevertheless the question did come up on a public affairs news program on sunday featuring president trump's national security

adviser john bolton and he issued a very strong denial that the u.s. had had anything to do with this here is what john bolton had to say there was no u.s. government involvement in this at all just within the past couple of hours i've spoken with our charge a in caracas the head diplomatic official down there he and his staff are much of the night making sure that americans in venezuela are safe as of now with respect to what happened last afternoon look could be a lot of things from a pretext set up by the self to something else. in spite of that denial is there any reason to think the u.s. might have played a role in this incident. well. there's no evidence of any role in this incident loren however it is worth noting that it's been widely reported that last summer last august president trump brought up the

idea of a military invasion of venezuela with his top advisors and he brought this up repeatedly over the course of several meetings and he had to be dissuaded from this by the then secretary of state rex tillerson who has now departed the administration and then national security adviser john mcmaster who has also departed and been replaced by by mr bolton who we heard from a moment ago and also worth noting that the vice president. mr pence vice president mike pence. said that the elections that were held earlier this year in which the door won a second term in office were illegitimate so there's certainly a lot of rhetorical bad blood between the two countries and there was a suggestion again in the white house from the very top that there might be a reason to invade the country but there has been no invasion and as of now there

is no hard proof of any u.s. involvement in this incident thank you very much. he and his defense ministry is promising to take all necessary measures to his two older and its eastern somali region on saturday government troops forward with permanent. local to the regional government no institutional government mobs have looted shops and bent down buildings. in the capital at least four times and most have been affected by violence. eastern somali province has been plagued by violence for the last three decades and the heart of the conflict is tension between ethiopian somalis who make up six percent of the population and the majority are over people in neighboring or a mere province as well as territorial battles over grazing land there's also the

local or special police exchanged fire with the federal troops and this created some confusion in which they began something that's so the entire market of hugo looted to churches bombed and up to fifty people losing their lives the government in addis ababa justifies why it sends the troops saying that there was a rift between the regional administration and the federal government and that there were plans by the region with russian to announce a suppression of the session from the rest of with european something that goes outrightly denied by the regional president has dubbed him humble. rival leaders in south sudan have just signed a new power sharing agreement in neighboring sit on it's aimed at ending the civil war which started in twenty setting the deal will give sell the can react much i

planes it bought from the european firm a.t.r. iran says the sanctions and danger the lives of air travelers because they stop airlines from buying new planes and parts saying the driver has more from tehran. well it has to be said any time something like this happens the delivery of new 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 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 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 eighty 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 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 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. a vintage plane has crashed in the swiss alps killing all twenty people
