to timothy contrasts who is a nonresident fellow at the time institute for middle east policy he joins us via skype from cairo thank you very much for being with us timothy just how significant is this attack and what more information i thought is giving. the attack are we've heard that there's at least 17 people injured. 10 egyptians and south 7 south africans i believe and but so far nothing too serious from what we've heard from reports and no no fatalities thus far but the psychological impact of the attack that can still be quite substantial is the 2nd time that a bus of tourists attacked and the last 6 months for you to see in december 28th it was the last time we saw that and so it will i think jaw a number of governments who have been lobbied by bt if you government to exalts alibis or its for their citizens who are considering a visit to egypt that it's a government that's advice which would draw and spend more tourists will come and

then like this is definitely going to cost them sort of profession doing stuff right and you know attacks of course in places like sinai are unfortunately frequent attacks have been blamed on go psych i sell who could be behind this particular attack today think. definitely the number one suspect at this point will be ice so this really sickly they've been the primary actor that's been targeting civilians and supporters with their attacks most of the other militant groups that focus on security forces in their operations and so in all likelihood it will come out speaking of this however they don't always take responsibility for their attacks so there is a possibility that we won't know it all but you're talking december 28th you know once of responsibility for possibly to be stewart's what sort of measures security measures are you expecting need to take after this when are they going to be stepping up security. and you know certainly be an announcement of increased security and i think it's been the free the more but. particularly in.

this one or the last 6 months it's parties to with lawsuits there is media. we. don't eat the expansiveness a security presence in the area trying to sweep for any possible i've used before they are native they have caught some of them so that includes this one look for well thank you so much for speaking to us timothy count asked joining us from cairo with the latest on this attack i need the pair may have injured several tourists they spend more head on this news hour including christian communities living in fear we have an exclusive report from northern brook enough awesome past 10 years on trank as government commemorates the end of the civil war that's caught the nation and in sport the p.g.a. champion takes a 7 shot lead into the final round of this year's tournament the at will have all the action late.

thursday u.s. navy has conducted exercises in the gulf that it say is out to highlight how effectively it can respond to potential threats they come as regional rivals iran and saudi arabia say they don't want to war saudi arabia's king solomon has called for 2 emergency summits involving gulf and arab leaders later this month to discuss the situation in the region while the saudi foreign ministry says the kingdom doesn't want to escalate tensions it says it will respond if iran chooses to engage in coffee when moment of abuse that you learn to have been removed saudi arabia does not want war in the region and is not seeking it and will do its best to have beat 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. the iranian regime and its agents to stay away from recklessness and stupid acts and spare the region instability saudi arabia ask

the international community to take responsibility to stop that regime from destabilizing the world. mohammad marandi is a political analyst and professor at the university of tehran he says even believe the saudis and iraqis any israelis are trying to push the region towards war. they're encouraging bolton and pompei are to push the the white house towards a more confrontational approach the feeling also is that the us president does not want that neither does the intelligence nor the military in the united states because they know that this the consequences would be very bad for the global economy the iranians remember quite well in 1988 when the united states down the iranian civilian airliner killing roughly 300 people they never apologize for it and the american media justify. the killing of those innocent so people

know quite well what this can mean potentially but again the escalation is on behalf of the americans they're the ones who are making a lot of noise about bringing in further troops or warning iran or threatening iran this is something that's not particular to this current administration by the way obama constantly said that all options are on the table clinton once said we can annihilate iran. implying using nuclear weapons at one point so this is the sort of language that we're used to coming from washington in the iranians see what's going on in venezuela what happened to libya what happened to syria yemen afghanistan and iraq so the iranians do take these things seriously but that is why they for pair themselves for the last 2 decades alongside the persian gulf region and the gulf of oman and so i don't think because of those capabilities that iran has in that

region and because of the vulnerability of all the oil and gas installations the belief is that the americans won't go down a road where the global economy would be destroyed that would be a sort of mutual assured destruction so they're pretty confident that things will remain peaceful meanwhile iraq's oil minutes. criticizing exxon mobil's decision to evacuate all its foreign staff is unacceptable and unjustified to me a gun ban says the decision was made for political purposes and not because of security concerns the u.s. energy giant fuel dozens of mainly u.s. workers at an oil fields near basra to divide on saturday bahrain hold it all its nationals to leave iraq and iran because of what he called unstable conditions matheson is a car spondon in baghdad joins us now live on the news iraq tell us more about the iraqi reaction and also the impact the ex and nobody evacuation is going to have. the world to a certain extent followed the evacuation is it going to have

a great deal of impact to toll because we understand that it was only 60 members of staff who were taken to basra airport and then flown to dubai we don't know how many of those were u.s. citizens but the plan that they were working out just outside basra is still going on it's still working because there are 1700. employees who are able to make the plant produce at the moment and it's still producing something like 440000 barrels a day according to the oil ministry. the reasons that exxon mobil gave for the for evacuating the foreign stuff was because of instability in the region but also a potential security threats that in going into any more details than that and that the iraqi government in particular the iraqi oil minister who has come out and those has said as you mentioned that it was unacceptable and unjustified he's also

writing to exxon mobil to find out the details of exactly what the security threats were that prompted them to take this action and also to try to invite the staff back so that operations can can carry on again the stars were predominantly in management roles rather than in the operation of the facility itself. but interestingly he is also saying that as you mentioned he's saying that this is got nothing to do with security this is all about politics this is all about the u.s. government trying to use exxon mobile to centrally send a message to other foreign firms in iraq basically suggesting that iraq is not a safe place in which to invest there her speech some additional movement on this the oil minister has come out and said that an oil deal that exxon mobil had been putting together with a rock and also which involved the chinese company paid to china and which was worth $53000000000.00 is no going to slow down the reason being

the quite simply his quarter of the oil minister is quoted as saying no they are out of the country why should i run after them thank you for that rob matheson live for us in baghdad. oil producing nations are meeting inside to discuss producing limits and energy prices escalating tensions between the u.s. and iran are high on the agenda despite iran not being present as saudi energy minister has warned that recent attacks on his energy assets risk the security of oil supply venezuela's minister said the us is also disturbing global supply by putting his country's oil industry under economics each qatar has reportedly shipped liquefied natural gas supplies to the u.a.e. after a fault in a major pipeline the world's biggest producer of l.n.g. the reuters news agency says the dolphin energy run pipeline suffered problems for several days last month but qatar petroleum helped fill the gap by sending supplies by sea it also helped with repairs dolfin his continued pumping gas to the emirates

despite 827000 economic blockade on qatar. to sudan now where the military rulers and protest leaders are due to resume talks which were postponed following the killing of protesters just a few days ago demonstrators are continuing their city not side army headquarters in khartoum demanding the military hand over power to civilians mamadou is live now from khartoum some of these talks is due to resume any hopes of a breakthrough this time. while it's hard to tell of this point the talks have resumed after 72 hour law all that had been put in place by the military council who had a set of demands from the protests of the protesters responded and managed to fill fill most of the demands of the military by the fast day of that 72 hours that were given by the transitional military council there was also

a lot of pressure coming from the united nations the african union the european union and some of the western diplomats. here in the been saying that if the delay continues beyond those 72 hours the momentum will have been lost the progress of chimps so far won't be lost and that is one of the reasons why the military council is resuming talks with the porters the leaders and they're going to discuss the key thing which is the form to solve it in council which is expected to leave the administrator of the police saddam to democratic elections it has been a really devise if with both sides wanting a majority stake in the council and it would be interesting to see whether whether there would be compromises during this round of negotiations and meanwhile mohamed saudi arabia has deposited $250000000.00 into saddam's central bank how this is

being viewed by the protesters. not very well because the protesters are saying that there is a lot of interference in sudan's affairs coming from not only would it be a but also the united arab emirates that $250000000.03 out say that it's paid into the sudanese central bank now is part of a contribution to a 500000000 kitty that they have promised to give sudan as aid for the provision of food to the people of sudan and of course this is money that sudan need. because the shortage of forage for in exchange is what caused the massive inflation that led to the shortages of food that triggered the protests that are still going on of course it wasn't just the 500000000 they had promised up to 3000000000 but the rest of it is in investments and things like that but generally the people on the streets viewing. the united arab emirates with kind eyes because they

believe they are trying to manipulate still the revolution as they say they've done in other countries in the region thank you for that mohammed had to live for us in khartoum. sri lanka's government has paid tribute to the soldiers who died during the decades long civil war it's been 10 years since the conflict with tamil separatist fighters ended 100000 people were killed in the fighting around 30000 of them soldiers now fernandez was at the ceremony in the capital colombo this event the sort of national monument to the fallen soldiers to the military personnel a very march recognizing the contribution they made to the war effort there are more than 28000 police and military personnel were believed to have died during the 26 there's more than 6000 people still listed as missing in terms of the force and thousands of others have been rendered disables due to injuries sustained during

the war so this event very much sort of a recognition of that contribution just behind me you see the more real you see all the soldiers in the other end you have families all of these people that have been invited just on the other side just out of shot there are basically sort of memorial walls or plucks where you see hundreds and hundreds of names listed i was just going through one of those was and you just referred to one particular attack in 1903 and there were over 120 males listed as those killed at that particular place now this is very much for the military and the police and all those gathered here. sort of a very somber event remembering what it took to bring an end to this brutal conflict. still ahead on this al-jazeera news hour 2 years after somalia was pushed

showers a more dust storms certainly staying rather unsettled for some of us here and some of those showers content to be a little bit lively they will push eastwards as we head to choose day so we could see some over parts of afghanistan as well towards the west is generally a little bit more settled here back that's hot the way it will be up to around 39 again as we head through the next couple of days i mean further towards the south as beat a fair amount of cloud of a tower and $1.00 and $2.00 showers as well those areas of cloud to just drag down the temperatures a bit so probably no high than around 36 degrees for us as we head through the next few days and this still the risk of seeing the odd shower here and that risk it sends all the way down through poses saudi arabia and into a man down towards the southern parts of africa a good deal of dry weather with us at the moment the cloud is mostly in the very fallen all the possible but also little bit working its way over cape town so cooler.

a conflict earlier the saudi foreign ministry said the kingdom doesn't want to escalate tensions either but stands ready to defend itself. now the united nations says it's running out of funds to help syrian refugees in lebanon nonprofits are trying to fill the gap but as donor fatigue sets in the refugee population is growing more vulnerable by the day as in a harder report on the big. over 70 percent of lebanon syrian refugee population lives in poverty. is one of them he also lives with chronic diseases the cost of care is high non-governmental organizations run clinics like this one for those who can't afford treatment or medicine but not everything he needs is available or the argument of. i have cancer and diabetes i also have heart problems i need my medicine but they're no longer providing it

the help has dramatically decreased and we do not know why. the lack of money is why at the same time the needs are growing up to $4000.00 patients come to this clinic every month. and. we are unable to secure medicine consistently for these people because we don't have the financial support and we don't have the exact number but around 20 to 30 percent of those being treated at this center don't get the medicine they need. the u.n. does provide support to a network of 40 hospitals across the country but it received 38 percent of the budget it requested this year the u.n. refugee agency also complains about donor fatigue there are 1000000 syrian refugees registered with the u.n. in lebanon and at least 180000 of them suffer from a chronic disease. budget cuts mean some don't get continuous treatment the u.n. says at least 25 percent of nearly 200 refugees with kidney disease have been

affected by this. number of conditions that there's no cover. like with the program you speak of a chronic condition like. those of extremely high cost of life. complicated is the still having trouble and to receive necessary. another challenge is reaching health centers refugees are too poor to pay for transport that is why doctors regularly visit camps they treat common illnesses but they also try to prevent disease outbreaks and complications which have resulted in deaths you have many many other diseases that cannot be covered. against syrian refugee 9 years into the largest refugee crisis and help is being reduced aid
