civilian infrastructure. sometimes. forces inside iran some of the it has conducted many at arkansas the idea without the collated attacks they waited till the saudi deny or the saudi did not release any information about it then they use this kind of statement there and i think this is a kind of a war that we are in you have to wait to see what damage you have done inside saudi arabia and i believe in the coming hour we will know all the information about the attack we've seen that they knighted nation itself has taken saudi arabia full my list for killing children twice because saudi has threatened that they will cut the money they give into the united nation so this international law i think we and yemen we are both in it now on the shelf because. we have now yemeni forces. in yemeni we have now the right to thought to get any installation in saudi arabia to damage their economy their oil field all of that infrastructure support because
4:09 pm
if we don't know if we are not doing so it means that we are allowing the saudi to continue killing yemenis of course some people might see this is wrong but i think what saudi have done in the last more than 40 years be people should have said should have stopped that not waited for 5 years through a response and then they will say while targeting civilian infrastructure. joins us now here onsite he's a retired jordanian air force general good to have you with us that's where the who he's getting these drones from i think they build it inside yemen with the help of with the iranian that sounds like quite a complicated process to do in what sounds like quite a desolate landscape in yemen to build drones of this knowledge of all the good the industry for it with the help of yemen. in order to do that this would this little small commercial. and the developed to.

4:15 pm
sabotage attacks like this being carried out by the united states iran's leaders continue to press their neighbors to try to create an atmosphere of cooperation in the region saying that the united states remains an outsider in this part of the middle east and that it is up to countries leaders in the middle east itself to focus on their own security their own stability and manage the region's security by themselves and for themselves of course the latest overtures by iran come at a time of heightened tensions with the united states iran and its neighbors have been sometimes friends sometimes foes but throughout it all they've been strong trading partners they've cooperated on regional issues but at the moment there seems to be no clear way forward is specially with more american military hardware in the area and iran is one of the topics expected to be discussed during a meeting between u.s. secretary of state mike on pale and russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov during

4:17 pm
counter measures and the violence is now under control sri lanka's prime minister gave this warning in his speech to the nation happy to have the unit i have given all necessary powers to the security forces to take stern action against those breaching the peace by violating the curfew and emergency law security forces will take all steps to take action against those breaching the law therefore i request the fullest cooperation to the military and police to safeguard peace i police say in the 3 worst affected districts north of the capital colombo young people grouped together in what appeared to be planned actions. but. among the targets were muslim own shops mosques were also attacked butyl. this small group must stop the dangerous game they play against the lives and property of innocent people i must state that we want to allow the country to be led to anarchy by those who show their strength on unarmed innocent civilians sri lanka's muslims make.
4:18 pm
less than 10 percent of the country's $22000000.00 population and political leaders here are warning that violence will not only increase tension but also hinder the investigation into the easter bombings in which more than 250 people died andrew symonds out 0. in scope the latest now from the now found landers she's live for us from colombo so how volatile is the country right now. so i mean the all island curfew basically that has been brought in over the last $48.00 hours in certain areas where the violence took place and then last night throughout the country has served to dampen the level of violence that we have seen but once again the authorities have decided to bring in the curfew it would kick in island wide in a little over 2 hours from now but those flashpoints in the northwestern province
4:19 pm
still very tense we were hearing even during the course of today where the curfew was still in place there that there was sort of some sporadic incidents with certain groups still moving around despite the curfew creating me home and chaos now obviously on a on a on a reduced scale but still the level of tension is quite high we are also hearing from some people on the ground in the villages that have seen violence there are claims that those who perpetrated the violence that attacked these muslim establishment shops houses were people that they didn't know the claim being that they might have been groups that were either brought in or came in in an organized fashion from outside the villages and this is sort of something that leads 5 to further clearance that the violence has been perpetrated on a sort of an orchestrated and an organized semi so the authorities the police the
4:20 pm
armed forces having their hands full to get a handle on the situation so i mean a lot of criticism about inaction by the police allegations of just standing around while these mobs attack what's been the response from authorities. there have been creators of this survey you know in terms of the police the military obviously we heard from the armed forces the commander of the she lanka army lived in and around the 9 yesterday that there would be stringent measures taken against anyone disturbing the peace in fact he said anyone that is found to be attacking innocent muslims with the words he used he said would be dealt with in the strongest of fashion he did say and of the emergency the armed forces and the police were empowered to basically stamp out any violence any
4:21 pm
sort of attempts to disturb the peace and he was very very clear that this would happen we're hearing that a cord from the prime minister who is basically the top person in the country the president having left for china to attend a conference but even the prime minister saying that he is empowered the security establishment to take all steps needed to crack down on anyone perpetrating violence so there is violence but there is also a sense as we see this sort of spread and the kind of very careful targeting of muslim establishment that it does give the impression that there is some organizing and sort of a certain sort of a orchestrated campaign that's at play here so i mean obviously these are yet to be investigated to be to be confirmed but that's certainly a sense that one gets so i mean thank you very much from.

4:30 pm
you know load. the oil in into ships but what is significant is that the east to west pipeline was actually built going to air on the iraq war precisely to make sure that if things going got tough india arabian sea and the and on the in the gulf of gulf and the straits of hormuz they would have another evacuation route through the through the. red sea so in that sense this is one of the main arteries but i'm course very competent and they will fix thius you quickly but it is certainly sub optimal and it will get it will have an adverse effect on the oil price oil will go up because of the current uncertainty i wonder how much concern brings to the market when you put in to the picture kind of the different developments we've seen in the last $48.00 hours today you have an attack on the pipeline going to jambo which is you know as you said that was supposed to
4:31 pm
bypass any trouble in the gulf yesterday we had the news of attacks on ships new for joy again that was a system to bypass any trouble in the straits of hormuz. starting to look like a throw to all the backup plans for getting oil out of or a lot of the backup plans i should say for getting oil out of that region. absolutely and that will that is what that tells me is this is not just an isolated rebel group doing this this is a very well orchestrated campaign and obviously be that i'll have to see and wait what the kingdom of saudi arabia will. do to protect its ability to export oil but there is a sense of vulnerability here was that going to do to oil prices what you have fewer as you see they've already gone up more of nearly 2 percent this. over the
4:32 pm
last few days when our by about $71.00 barrels a day elvis lee it means they prices go up. so we have to see how this develops what what what worries me is that we just from the grandstanding we've now come to actual you know actions. with regard to the all supply is so that's not a good sign that this this this region is a powder keg if anything we want to avoid more more more things that could. lead to major eruptions or a good to get your thoughts on that thanks so much couldn't have. thank you china's foreign ministry is again warning the united states not to underestimate its determination to protect its interests and asian stock markets took
