in saudi arabia and they said they're going to. go through the list and start attacking those targets in a seems that they are doing so well it's very difficult to believe but it is very relaxing when saudi arabia has bought all these arms and only as a covert meant and it's either got the support from the united states as well and other. international powers that they cannot identify kurz where the attack came from one and 2 is they could not have intercepted something like this and especially given the fact that this is being going on for a life and those these have threatened to do so in my opinion i think the hopis have developed certain capacity and capabilities and they have been practicing this and they have been doing it one attacking one target after the other and perhaps i would tend to believe that until proven wrongly otherwise by someone else

be an actor states and i think. when we all have mentioned that this is. not a necessity for our whole peeve here without accusing that perhaps iraqi groups of iraqi shia groups have. been used or other iranian. militia the only supportive militia have been you are still carry on this at that but i think and feel that this broad when i would stick with the fact that of the has developed sort of 10 capabilities and they are obviously capable of reaching towards any type of good they want it in saudi arabia and the gulf states and this shows vulnerability this shows seriously shores that they could have to go in for us to. in saudi arabia. and other gulf states states

are exceedingly explores and one of the tool. that a goal or a summit that it built so i think this is something that these companies in the region have to learn and understand that they cannot continue to have these kind of complex and they have to find a way that they can co-exist and live together in a much more peaceful way because they're just going to harm each other. you know by involving and this conflict and i think i hope you really. have really shown that they. really do damage to saudi arabia and also its most critical infrastructure and it's most critical it's going to make wellbeing and it's all it's going to be accused we've got what we're going to have to leave it there are unfortunately we're out of time pushy you talking to us there are

valid bob who thanks very much for being with us thank you of violence has broken out in hong kong after tens of thousands of protesters defied a police ban to march in the city some in the crowd threw petrol bombs or riot officers who fired back we tear gas and water cannon government offices a police station shops and metro stations all came under attack at various times it was the 1st mass demonstration since hong kong's leaders withdrew an unpopular extradition bill protesters are demanding more government concessions and reforms. sarah clarke is live for us now from hong kong so sara what's the situation now. we had a very peaceful start to today's mass rally the rally on sunday when i say a peaceful end to here with the last of the protestors who are behind me other gathered mary around who is white by one child which is part of central on hong

kong island now before that we saw symbolic clashes between police and protesters as you mentioned they converged on the government headquarters and that's the council building a snowman here the chinese army barracks there plus the bauxite and through a number of petrol bomb bricks and various devices over into the building behind those blockades they could light even the water cannon called lot at one stage and the place of course they retaliated by far the water cannon almost protesters and that was it was actually dicey oh don't say with a blue paint and that's why i'm marking those protesters when the police want to go and find those people for arrests they also shot fired tear rounds of tear gas fired by the bullets and sponge tonight it's a certain we've seen a number of violent clashes on sunday is really at the moment the police appear to have retreated and were the last of the protesters who are behind me yes they were there were certainly fears expressed earlier in the day that these largely peaceful protests would turn violent and piers those fears. have been realized because it

had been worse. what we saw the same similar similar scenes last sunday where the empty hours were called lot was sent a lot i should say where the barricades were set up the entrances we saw we've seen the sign begin to die at one child the m.p.r. there was also sent light at the place of might and number of arrests today and during the week and we expect more to come during the week but these protests have continued to continue to continue their protests this week we've got a number of various rallies planned and there's also another one this weekend where the next big. and i should say i will target the airports these protesters want to die or holding up their hands and 5 to monsanto list the extradition bill has been withdrawn they're happy with that and they want the rest of the demands met and that's when they will start stop these protests and those other demands are they want universal suffrage they want an independent investigation into the place actual behavior against. want those have been charged they want amnesty and

so on so much those demands are met these protests will continue in home alright for the moment sarah clarke writes for us there in hong kong thanks so much more still ahead for you people in the bahamas step up their hurricane recovery effort after another storm skirts by. they say they can talk to be cowles off the centuries living in kenya's mt forest now these tribes fear being wiped out. and wales former rugby captain is blackmailed into revealing news on his health there will have more on that in sport. 82 refugees and migrants rescued a week in the mediterranean sea by the ocean viking charity ship have now been allowed to land on the island of lampedusa it's the 1st time in months a rescue ship has been given permission to dock in an italian port on the other

side of the world indonesia is struggling with refugees escaping conflict and poverty in africa the middle east and elsewhere in asia they have no idea if they'll ever find another home you know how much will we'll report on that from jakarta shortly right after paul brennan looks at the new italian government's approach to refugees. the news brought tangible relief to ocean viking after nearly a week in limbo just heard. the sign of the place of safety. yeah i. was that sparked a spontaneous celebration among the rescued migrants in what it is we're very happy about the news it is amazing we're going to arrive in a place where people understand and listen to us if they're happy to learn that we

have to some backing in. italy is new prime minister decepticon tech has been in power just a week and conti center left coalition government supports a more humane approach than the hardline closed ports policy of the previous interior minister matteo salvage any but ministers insist that does not mean it's only now has an open door policy. i believe is a big misunderstanding about the safe port given to ocean viking it was assigned to ports simply because the e.u. stuck to our request to take the majority of the microbes it must be clear that our aim is to ensure that those who arrive in italy or redistributed to other european countries. that hasn't stopped salvini from criticizing we have only part of the redistributions in europe are just words because i am still waiting for the other european countries to take a few 1000 of those that they have already promised to take so this is

a surrender obviously one of contest promises to europe was that it really would return to being a refugee camp back on board the grounds are already planning where they might be sent germany has promised to take 25 percent of any refugees rescued in the mediterranean but the rest of the distribution is less clear the subject will certainly come up when e.u. interior ministers meet in malta on september the 23rd. al-jazeera. they came to indonesia in hope they could start a new life in australia new zealand canada but many say they're now stranded there would fled the war in afghanistan and 2015 he and his family live in this makeshift shelter without electricity a basic sanitation and little food. if i have money will don't have come here my wife has been sick 3 times a fever i was in hospital for 5 days she leaves but. i have no money to buy better

a signatory to the un refugee convention which means it only acts as a transit country but the australian government has tightened its borders to refugees from indonesia and cut its international funding to migrants the un refugee agency says chances for resettlement are limited. direct assistance isn't going to be the answer because everyone needs to be able to have the tools to take care of themselves and this is why we're working with the government the government of indonesia here to try to find ways under the indonesian laws for refugees to have the ability to take care of themselves so they don't always have to depend on handouts rights groups saying no single group is responsible for the backlog what i think is very important in order to sort of. bring all the parties together civil society business sectors and also government agencies as well as the refugees but it is the refugees want their voices heard having come

much for being with us now when we look at tunisia it was seen as kind of the only real success story of the 2011 arab uprisings but how would you assess the mood of tunisians in 2019 when when they're dealing with mass unemployment and poor economy poor services and a lot of frustration with the political elite. yeah well we see quite a lot of successes in terms of procedural democracy sort of a liberal democratic system there's a new constitution of course but a lot of tunisians are not sure whether these are actually responding to their needs of course the demands of the revolution were about work dignity and freedom there was freedom so we've seen quite a lot of freedoms but some people say that's only really the only thing that they won from the revolution and so we see quite a lot of disillusionment but we'll see maybe they will be turning out today the election body today says they expect actually

a higher turnout this time than we saw in 2014 but it's still early going and the numbers we see from 11 am show the turnout so far is only about 7 percent but that should be updated as the day goes on and what is the choice facing tunisians as they go to the polls i mean we mentioned that there's 26 people running for. president a lot of people competing for attention there i mean what what do they what do they offer in terms of the different ideas. well there's a lot on offer with 26 candidates and we saw that in the debates what we what we have seen is we've seen a lot of so-called populists doing quite well people who are known politicians that may reflect the fact that tunisians are feeling. disillusioned with traditional politicians so we've seen people coming from media from a business that we've seen one constitutional law professor doing quite well in the polls but it's unclear whether these populous will have enough to take it over the line and get to the 2nd round there may be more traditional candidates that we've

seen from from more established parties that make it to the 2nd round but it's really up for anyone at this moment i could give you a list of maybe 10 candidates that have a good shot at getting it to the 2nd round and for those perhaps who are familiar with any workings of of to. governing system what how much power does the president have what does his where does he fit into the into the whole system. so according to the constitution technically he's really responsible for foreign policy and for national security but what we saw during the debates is a lot of the candidates were really defining national security quite broadly in terms of water security and food security and a few other issues that wouldn't technically be under just. military security issues but on top of that if the president if the eventual president wins they have a party behind him in parliament then they can be quite powerful they were there will be the ones that can introduce legislation and if they're seen as sort of the figurehead of the leading party in parliament after the parliamentary elections

next month then they could end up having quite a lot more power than what's on paper and what's the likelihood then of a runoff in them but if none of these 20 seats get more than 50 percent of the vote . extremely likely we're actually hearing dates of october the runoff happening just after the legislative elections and it's very hard to see any of the 26 candidates good enough to get to directly today could speak with you federal law ladies and joining us there from tunis thanks very much and voters in israel are going back to the polls on tuesday for the 2nd time in less than 6 months palestinian israelis are being urged to get out and voting greater numbers only half of them cost the ballots in april and sorry for some reports now there's growing talk of palestinian parties being part of a governing coalition. yes. big days left in the election campaign

a clash over race voting in hidden cameras came to a head in the israeli parliament. you are a liar shouted knesset member iman or day before confronting israel's prime minister with a camera phone benjamin netanyahu had been trying unsuccessfully to force through last minute legislation allowing party activists to film inside polling stations palestinian israeli politicians saw that has an attempt to intimidate voters in arab areas. but in this election i'm an author isn't just taking on what he calls netanyahu is racist campaign he's confronting a long held within palestinian israeli politics saying he would be prepared to be the 1st leader to take his grouping of mainly palestinian parties into an israeli coalition government albeit with conditions that make it unlikely in the near future that you know that. we have a great influence on who will form the government if you put aside the arab vote in your who will be the pm if you include the arab vote then there are other scenarios

other members of his alliance have distanced themselves from his message but a recent poll suggests nearly 80 percent of palestinian israelis are in favor of either joining a coalition government or supporting one within the knesset nobody ever expected an arab politician to say it and the reason is for all sorts of historic internal debates among arab palestinian citizens in israel there's been a very ambivalent feeling to what extent the parties should legitimize the israeli government to what extent being part of the israeli government puts them in a position where they would have to give up on very significant principles in april's elections the turnout among palestinian israelis was down to a new low 50 percent so with this idea of more active political engagement lift that number. and voting is a very positive step people here don't do it and if you don't vote our vote goes to rival parties but i am against arab parties joining an israeli government. it's good if they draw in a left wing government not a right wing race's government that works against arabs the palestinian citizens of

israel there is a level of support for the idea of engaging in coalition government in the future but the palestinian israeli politicians they say the vital thing is that their electorate comes out and votes in greater numbers than they have before to have any chance of bringing down the administration of benjamin netanyahu netanyahu is him so using orders stance to warn voters of the suppose a danger in supporting the main opposition led by benny gantz and yeah like pete will be me at the head of the likud or will be the pig and guns at the head of a leftist government that will include up with debian i mean as minister of them their government those politicians say no when you know who is trying to diligent him eyes palestinian israelis in gauge meant in national politics the question is whether this time it might inspire them instead to engage more our aforesaid al-jazeera israel our leaders in west africa have pledged a $1000000000.00 to combat attacks by fighters linked to al qaeda and i saw that

emergency summit in bikini faster just a few days after an attack there catherine sawyer reports from the capital. a moment of silence for 29 people who were killed in 2 separate attacks in northen book enough last week one of the attacks happened at a location where all dizzy or all was filming just the day alia a minibus carrying civilians drove over land mine 15 people were killed. heads of state who attended this emergency summit organized by the regional bloc raised concern about the increasing number of cross border attacks by armed groups in the sahara they're also worried the violence could spread to other coastal countries. in the last 6 months there have been many terrorist attacks with serious consequences violence and insecurity has caused an unprecedented humanitarian crisis millions of people displaced in the region. the summit brought together

presidents from the hell countries known as the g 5 mind to fight terrorism and illegal migration across borders representatives from other west african countries affected by armed groups like the book was also here they agreed to share intelligence have joint patrols along the borders invest in training security forces and so on they also pledged a 1000000000 u.s. dollars within 5 years for counterterrorism activities. we have asked the defense and security missiles to put together a practical proposal or not be a causal standby force going to be deployed to help some security analysts say regional efforts to contain the crisis have not quite been effective in the past because of conflicting interests by individual countries and regional organization as well as competition for resources and visibility others say that

a military intervention on its own cannot work without a development agenda. the fight against terrorism is not only about deploying troops there are many regions that have been neglected by governments for years people are poor and frustrated the issue of disparity must be addressed they've been more than 2000 attacks by armed groups in this hell in the last few years just over 11000 people have been killed in book enough many of the displaced have sought refuge in schools camps set up by the government and aid workers as well as with well wishes in safe areas where they fled to. their leaders say the action plan they've induced is solid implementing it will be the harder part catherine sorry al-jazeera whether dougal fassel. of the taliban says it will revoke its ban and allow the red cross to work in afghanistan it excluded the group along with the world health organization in april accusing them of carrying out what they call

a long standing policy to discourage them from staying i mean i know if we are denied the right to work and open businesses then how do we pay for medical treatment for example and it was says it covers 100 percent of the cost but that is not true only 10 percent of my father's operation he was a cancer patient and he has since passed away international aid for palestinian refugees has decreased in recent years the un relief and works agency which supports palestinian refugees says it is providing services to all of them but it needs $120000000.00 to be able to fund operations until the end of the year palestinians have been living here for more than 70 years since the creation of israel but now the situation is getting worse unemployment was already a problem before the recent decision by lebanese authorities that requires them to take work permits are not only expensive but they are also difficult to get the
