attacks on saudi oil facilities plants belonging to state oil company iran co were hit by drones are. cutting output by about a half or so to arabia the u.s. and european allies say iran is to blame however the u.n. secretary general says investigations can conclude that the projectiles used were also iranian origin. well the panel has a very particular mandate and doesn't necessarily see all the evidence that is available we and our partners have made our main assessment having seen a lot of evidence and we have concluded and have stated publicly that we believe iran to be responsible and we think there's good evidence for that. those attacks were among issues weighing on investors' minds as shares in him or around co began trading on riyad stock exchange they opened 10 percent higher than the initial

public offering price and it's now the world's most valuable listed company nickel and gage reports. all the bells and whistles are one of the most eagerly awaited stock offerings in history after years of planning and several false starts shares in saudi arabia state owned oil giant remco have begun trading on riyadh's to double exchange as a result of the oil producers shares rose by 10 percent it follows a crucial week for the firm obtaining the largest ever initial public offering raising $25600000000.00 for less than 2 percent of the company this puts its value at $1.00 trillion dollars but that fell short of the 2 trillion dollar valuation saudi arabia wanted and the $100000000000.00 it had hoped to raise back in 2016 how to get the valuation up from the 1.7 trillion which was achieved in the i.p.o.

to the 2 trillion and i suppose to a large extent how does saudi arabia now make up for the 75 $1000000000.00 that it probably expected to get but but didn't saudi arabia derives most of its money from oil exports but a recent drawing attack on its facilities in the east took out more than half of its oil production it caused concern among international investors who will likely be watching to see what happens next they had also been concerns the government would force saudi billionaires who had been detained at the ritz carlton in riyadh as part of an anti corruption crackdown back in 2017 to buy around coast stalk this was always stuck to be a win for the saudi government one way or other they were going to been there. late the market and this is exactly what they have done if they use was anywhere else in the world there will be an investigation to find out who was ramping up shares but when the government story there's various all the markets can do with

protesters in beirut have tried to block the entrance to the french embassy they don't want any more for money donated to the crisis hit countries saying a new trustworthy governments must be formed 1st france has been hosting conference hoping to support lebanon's economy is in a fight or the latest. security is tight outside the french embassy in beirut there was a call for a protest to coincide with a meeting in paris france gathered together countries members of the so-called international support group for lebanon to try to find ways to help this country deal with an acute economic crisis lebannon lebanon's leaders have been appealing for international assistance companies are closing the unemployment rate is rising there's a shortage of dollars the banks are imposing capital controls there is inflation so lebanese politicians appealing for help but the protesters who have been in the

streets for almost 2 months now against those in power want to give a message to france they say don't give more money to these people who have been in power for decades who have done nothing according to them but accumulate wealth they're calling them corrupt politicians there's a suspicion of corruption. for this government so we don't want them to get any money from now so let's wait for a new government of independent to know how to manage any eventually over the 1st 30 years the government has to be. unable to manage a country and able to put on a country for the same people it's time for us to change these people and put new blood in the government what protesters want is an independent government that is going to lead the country until early elections but it seems the international community the message from the international community is we're not giving you a blank check and we have conditions of our own they are calling for the swift

formation of a cabinet a cabinet that will quote meet the aspirations of the lebanese people which in many ways means a change in leadership what we understand from sources is that the international community would like to see a pro caretaker prime minister saad oh how did he return to power he's a man who has good connections. with the west and at the same time there are conditions for example from the us administration but we understand as they do not want to see the iranian backed hezbollah and its allies back in government and as well as not accepting this because this will weaken its political influence so there is a political deadlock and it seems much needed help from outside is being conditioned with a new government that will satisfy the demands and conditions laid down by the international community in particular the west. has this coming up next we'll get a check on the weather and then. support for myanmar as leader
