a referendum of prime minister narendra modi's rule. on acceptable and unjustified iraq's oil minister hits out of a u.s. oil company for withdrawing workers from a major oil field by the safety. saddam's military leaders are expected to resume transition talks with the opposition days after they were called off the use of violence. we begin with breaking news from egypt where there's been an attack on a tourist bus near the grand gyptian newseum that's close to the giza pyramids nick cairo egyptian officials say a roadside bomb hit the boss at least 17 people have been injured 7 of them believed to be tourists from south africa. timothy kaldis is a nonresident fellow at the therea institute for middle east policy and he joins us now from cairo tim

a few details and no claim of responsibility which groups are likely to have carried out this attack. i think there remains the most likely culprits isis is safe his spirits are getting a 1000000000 specifically targeting tourists in egypt and so for now i think most eyes will be on them. from a.c.c. and others over a 1000 groups at the same details from the last 2 years and so it's it's challenging to know the time some of these are still on land and carlos but for the time being but i think most people that would be on isis tell us a little bit about the history of isis attacks in egypt that this isn't the 1st time that they've tried to talk us to talk a tourist if it is indeed and then who are behind this potential this attack today not only men they're responsible for the most notorious worst. history. or ever actually the better genocide in which they found an entire russian possibly

that has taken off the ball are not from some shit and that attack slog through their mattocks rock with a number that is ready egypt it's a fox a number of countries to suspend flights to egypt and gaza so that you'd like some back although some still haven't seen flight sign on. it saying that it's not a devastating impact on the on the country beyond the given full force of the number of people killed and so they sort of have a history of this and they have an interest in undermining the sort of military government which talks like this to. my support ability and security apparatus that this legitimize it has it's going to find its ability to suck people on can is been an ongoing operation to several news is now by the egyptian government against i saw the footage of great especially in the sinai region and there were raids that just days ago went to authorities they killed thousands of fighters and resulted in many a rest could this be retaliation for that. well that's possible it's borne in

mind that as you said this is been going on for years and so it's hard to keep track of what's a response to what at this point there have been so many. terrorist attacks in the same time there's been so many counterterrorism operations that have been conducted that. at any given for one to claim that there's a response or something the reality is i think that there is a concerted effort on the part of certain militant groups to see what undermine the credibility of this government which is that which is a terrible terrorist generally and also for some of them specifically it's. hard it's a 1000000000 to be a source to damage the economy or the rich minorities because the sectarian killings among certain things that such as isis to strike started at the country for one population. can affect how the status speaking to us from cairo is going to tell may institute some middle east policy thanks for joining us on out of there attend thanks for having us.

polls have closed in india's mammoth general election sunday was the final day of voting where 102000000 people across 8 states were eligible to cast their ballots but prime minister narendra modi will have to wait until counting day on thursday to see if he is coming back for a 2nd term clouseau hell raman is live on the banks of the ganges environmentalist see that prime minister narendra modi's constituency for help talk us through the significance of an r.t. and the face of it a profession the final result. will indeed serve the significance obviously is that the prime minister is the incumbent here in bonus he will want to win and retain his seat here with the majority that he won with back in 2014 of course the mammoth election has now finished it finished about an hour and a half ago with all of the polling stations in the 7 states and one union territory

borders of india for being unobjective in some cases and what's been the highlights of the last 24 hours or for example all of the campaigning should have finished across india at the end of friday but the prime minister himself managed to get special permission from the election commission to go on the religious pilgrimage to the north of the country and there it was televised opening up him up to criticism from politicians and analysts like to say is a special permission special privileges granted to the man in power to the detriment of those that wish to unseat him all of these arguments revolve around being in power and how subservient the indian media has become to the whims and wishes of the incumbent at 11 racecourse road there is a hell rama speaking to us there from a very nasty way he's following the indian election for us thank you so him all regional rival of iran and saudi arabia say they don't want

a war as riyadh's ally the united states builds up its military presence in the gulf the leader of iran's revolutionary guard says his country is not pursuing a conflict his comments came after the saudi foreign ministry said the kingdom doesn't want to escalate tensions but will respond of iran chooses to engage in conflict man has called for 2 emergency summits involving gulf and arab leaders later this month to discuss the situation in the region. saudi arabia does not want war in the region and is not seeking it and will do its best to evade it but at the same time if the other party chooses war then we will respond with all strength and determination and will defend itself and its interests the kingdom hopes others to be wise and the iranian regime and its agents to stay away from recklessness and stupid acts and spare the region instability in saudi arabia asked the international community to take responsibility to stop that

regime from destabilizing the world. and iraq seems to be caught in the middle of the rising tensions between neighboring iran and the united states iraq's oil minister has criticized u.s. energy giant exxon mobil's decision to evacuate all its foreign stuff from an oil field and as an acceptable and unjustified to me god says the decision is not because of security concerns but for political purposes on saturdays saudis regional ally bahrain or did or its nationals to leave iraq and iran citing unstable conditions matheson explains why exomes decision has the iraqi government . the facility itself is still in operation that's because there are about 1700 iraqi staff who are able to keep the production facility there going but exxon mobil gave no specific reasons as to why it was moving the stuff it said that it

was because of the general situation in the region but also the potential threats that has angered iraq's oil minister. because he says that is unacceptable and justifiable he's written to exxon mobil to demand details about why specifically they wanted to remove the stuff and also to encourage the staff to return he says there's a bigger issue at stake he says this is nothing to do with security this is everything to do with politics he says that the u.s. is trying to put pressure on all the companies working in iraq to suggest that iraqi security is not everything that it should be the u.s. secretary of state came to iraq on may the 8th and asked for those assurances and the iraqi government did give reassurances that it would be able to protect u.s. citizens and u.s. military personnel in the country but iraq is now feeling that it is being pulled in and stuck in the middle of this standoff between the u.s.

and iran and it is eventually being going to be asked to choose sides and that is something that it does not want to do. and as regional powers call for calm countries producing oil around the world are holding a meeting in saudi arabia the kingdom's energy minister has told a meeting of opec and other major suppliers in jeddah that there's plenty of oil around the wilds and he wants fuel supplies to be driven down nigeria africa's largest crude producer says it's not worried about a war in the gulf but it does want supply cuts to be extended president donald trump said saudi arabia and other opec members had agreed to his request to boost oil production and to come back to combat an increase in fuel prices in the wake of sanctions on iran. still ahead on al-jazeera we get exclusive access in northern became a fast as the government tries to find out who's responsible for a church attack. we look at the new talents of lighting up the cannes film festival
