what going to the capacity to they're supposed to. we're going to find out who definitively did it 1st donald trump believes iran was responsible for an attack on a saudi oil refinery but says the u.s. will respond only when it has proof. of this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. israelis begin voting in a 2nd general election in less than 6 months with prime minister benjamin netanyahu is political future hanging in the balance. we are holding their 1st session next week hong kong's leader says she'll begin talking to community leaders in

a bid and beyond going protests. volunteers come together to help survivors of hurricane dorian in the bahamas. but the u.s. president donald trump believes iran was behind saturday's drone attacks that crippled more than hof saudi arabia's oil production but he says he doesn't want a war and will wait to see definitive proof of tehran's involvement before deciding how to respond trump said secretary of state my pompei will be traveling to riyadh soon to coordinate a response america's close ally the u.k. says it will work with the international partners to present quote the widest and most effective response and saudi arabia says the attacks were carried out using iranian weapons but tehran maintains it is not responsible yemen's hooty rebels say they were behind the. attacks and of war and more are coming again begins our

coverage now from washington. president donald trump says the u.s. is still collecting and analyzing intelligence related to saturday's attack on saudi oil facilities but says all evidence gathered dust far points to one country when asked if that country was iran this was the president's response which looking that way will have some pretty good to. have a some very strong studies done but it's certainly looking that way at this moment and. we'll let you know the spectrum said he does not want war with iran but said his administration would coordinate closely with riyadh on in response the saudis want very much for us to protect them but i say well we have to work there was an attack on saudi arabia and there was an attack on us but we would certainly help them but despite the alliance between washington and riyadh there are doubts about how much clout saudi arabia has to force the u.s.

into military action this alliance has been very interested in the past few months . on many issues so the trouble mistress and the u.s. in general is looked willing to basically fight a war and we have the so it's the who the rebels in yemen backed by iran claimed responsibility for the attacks on monday iran's president hassan rouhani flatly rejected the u.s. ascertain tehran was involved saying the who these were behind it and for legitimate reasons. the many people are exercising their legitimate right of self-defense the attacks are reciprocal and the main solution is to halt these attacks the solution for the yemeni crisis is also political we believe that. president trump said it was a large attack against saudi arabia but could be met with an attack many times larger this is threatening language trump has used in the past against syria north

korea and even iran without following through with significant military action but clearly tensions are escalating trump said secretary of state mike pompei o. and other administration officials would be traveling to riyadh soon to coordinate a response gabriels on al-jazeera washington. adult he has the view now from tehran. latest reaction to this event sort of unfolded is that the iranian foreign ministry spokesperson outpost mousavi has reiterated the country's position and that is that these accusations are baseless and it's not the 1st time that iran has received such accusations from the u.s. government the foreign ministry spokesperson up us who said he said that the yemeni people have the right to defend themselves and the iranians are not supplying weapons to the who see fighters there but that it is saudi arabia who is the aggressor and iran will continue to push for some kind of

a peaceful resolution in yemen they've offered in the past to negotiate dialogue between all the parties involved they've stressed that the situation is yemen is critical to the stability of this region but when it comes to the blame that they are being accused of launching these attacks the iranians say that they have had nothing to do with it and that the accusations are baseless they have yet to the american government has yet to provide any kind of solid evidence or proof that iran was behind such an attack the analysts that we've spoken to here say that these latest accusations from the u.s. come at a time when the u.s. president donald trump is eager to have a meeting with iran's president hassan rouhani at the united nations later this month when the 2 will be there but the rainy and some said that that will never happen until the united states lifts the sanctions that it's imposed on iran since they withdrew from the nuclear deal or global oil prices had shot up by nearly 20 percent off to the attacks but cabinet is an oil and gas industry expert he says

the price may stay high as saudi production could be affected for months. the interesting thing that i saw today in the satellite photographs that were that were disclosed was the perception of the attacks the vessels that were hit were hit precisely in the same place in a line these are in the hot quad quad copter drones that someone bought from amazon these are precision military weapons that were used to hit these facilities and they were hit in the precise area that would knock off about 50 percent of their production so it's surprising that the attack by drones that were undetected could do this kind of damage but i'm very concerned about how long it's going to take to get the production back on aramco announced today that it could be they went for weeks to talking about possibly months before the production was brought back on saudi has a strategic reserve or the u.s.

has a strategic reserve but if this goes on for more than 3 or 4 weeks i could see a sustained level of higher oil prices for quite some time until norm the production in saudi arabia is normalized. so israelis are voting in a 2nd general election in less than 6 months prime minister benjamin netanyahu hoping for a 5th term he failed to win a majority or form a coalition in april and called an unprecedented rerun now he's trying to rally voters by promising to annex all settlements in the occupied west bank. carrefour said reports from west jerusalem. benjamin netanyahu had rarely if ever looked publicly angrier than he did on the 30th of may this year defeated in his effort to form a coalition government he rented anyone else from being given that chance by forcing through an unprecedented election rewrite. it's unbelievable other door

lieberman is now part of the left the sense of betrayal was at his former political fixer former foreign and defense minister ally and enemy for more than 20 years avigdor lieberman professed reason for keeping his secular right wing party out of government with his opposition to ultra orthodox jews being exempted from military service something that in yahoo's ultra orthodox political partners would not concede. nurit kadar spent 5 years following lieberman for a documentary released this week finding him a highly guarded interviewee but he says it was clear that whatever the ideological differences between him and netanyahu that divorce was deeply personal the only thing the only sentence. he said was that friendship is something it's for life you know it is some foundation that it really go through all life. and it was broken and it was shattered and you know

what human hasn't explicitly ruled out joining a netanyahu led government this time around but his policy demands make it unlikely at best and with his secular stance boosting his position in the polls his status as kingmaker has been strengthened netanyahu spent the last week talking in terms familiar from previous campaigns of threats and promises the threat of iran's nuclear program the threat requiring police at polling stations of palestinian israeli voter fraud the promise to annex the jordan valley and parts of the occupied city of hebron all of it designed to motivate his right wing base. but netanyahu reelection offers a better chance to fight off 3 looming corruption cases the parliament all knesset could even vote to grant him immunity but the polls suggest there could be a similar outcome to last time with netanyahu is likud party running almost even with the opposition blue and white led by former army chief benny gantz as a good chance neither will have enough support from smaller parties to piece

together a majority coalition some predict months more uncertainty while each side tries and fails to form a government increasing the pressure on netanyahu his indictment is expected to happen in the 1st half of the summer that would be during the 2nd period of 6 weeks in which a candidate would be given a chance to form a government and if that indictment happens then the likud will then realize ok we don't like overthrowing leaders but now we have no choice israel 2nd election in 5 months is unlikely to be the finish line in the contest to govern the country rather the starting gun for the next round in a fight hurry forsett al-jazeera west jerusalem or burn a smith is live for us now in occupied east jerusalem suburban those polling places a bit opened for just over an hour now as israelis are going to vote again as we said for the 2nd time in less than 6 months is this election being seen as a referendum on benjamin netanyahu splitting of future. yeah as i'm

here we are again there's been a steady trickle of voters in the 1st hour or so the polls have been open this morning in israel this really has been the in the last few days there's been this sort of desperate campaigning particularly from netanyahu and his likud party to get the vote out because netanyahu it means he's very political survival if he wins he goes on the mains in the post of prime minister and he might get laws passed that shield him from potential corruption charges if he loses then he faces court and potentially jail so from his side a lot of pressure to get out the vote but also from a more centrist grouping benny gantz is blue and white coalition also from them a hope that they can get people out to vote the biggest concern here is low turnout in israel is often over 60 percent or so it was slightly below that in the election

5 months ago and they're worried it might drop down again this time and even after those results are out bernard are we likely to see again weeks of political just sling and bargaining as they as they try to form a workable government. it looks like there's a real risk but the very latest polls said it was still too close to call last time around netanyahu only could got $35.00 seats in the knesset gans's grouping got $35.00 seats 2 they need 61 to give them up just about working majority in israel's parliament they couldn't do it last time around and the circumstances really in terms of polling in the indications the way people are going to vote doesn't seem to show there's going to be any great change in the outcome there's a lot of more security for sure this time around at the polling stations because there were complaints from election officials that people were getting bit by ellen

last time around this 14000 police officers on duty across the country a record number and some 3000 observateur from the political parties all with body cameras making sure that nothing untoward happens inside the polling station. bernard thank you. hong kong's leader kerry lamb says the government will start talks with community leaders next week in a bid to end the protests the pro-democracy demonstrations began in june and some turned violent lamb says the public will be able to attend the sessions we are holding a 1st session next week and this is an open dialogue platform we will invite people from all walks of life to come to express their views to us this is because of our conviction that communication is far better than confrontation and i can assure you that this is not

a sort of one of good make type of function it is intended to be very on there are organized on a very sustainable and perhaps long term basis. the chinese government has called protesters in hong kong despicable for appealing to the territories former colonial rule of britain for help. i just want to say that those people who went to the british consulate general in hong kong and requested for the rights of citizenship in qualification i wonder if they can still be called the real chinese for chinese person to beg a foreign government to really despicable it's definitely not something you can be proud of still ahead on al-jazeera hoping to find a way to end syria's war the leaders of turkey and russia and iran meet in search of a political solution. and around the reception forces british prime minister boris johnson to flee a news conference leaving luxembourg's leader to deliver
