. by i guess my guru in full flow suddenly cut short this footage broadcast live on state television shows the moment when an apparent explosion rocked the military parade sending hundreds fleeing on foot to. the government declared it an assassination attempt. that on a modern day which i don't want to see on the explosions were heard which we have established as coming from multiple drone idea. of the fact of what order that people are drawn to that that i do not think that it was an attempt on the life of the president of venezuela nicolas maduro will reveal a new idea but to put everyone at ease the attack has failed to get it or that it or others without a complete i mean the initial. just hours later mudra gave a defiant speech speculating that the incident was a right wing conspiracy with ties abroad. and infantine loss i see not

a movie there has been an attempt to assassinate me. i have no doubt that this all points to the extreme right in venezuela and in alliance with the right in colombia and that colombia's president one man one sentence is behind this attempt i have no doubt. the socialist president has often accused the right wing opposition of plotting a coup but as the economy continues to weaken widespread protests have become one of the biggest threats to moderates of ministration we're joined now by a correspond oscar schleicher who's in the venice cap venezuelan capital caracas so i ask you in hearing from venezuela's information minister if he says explosive laden drones were used and want to he's calling an attack on president maduro as life what evidence does the government have that drones were used well the

evidence that we have seen as of yet is the video that you all saw and the government's or the information minister on some drone parts an explosive residue in a neighborhood near my apartment but we have had no we haven't had any visuals but . now over there are witnesses that reported seeing a flying object explode near the stage were present. and we've seen pictures of some of the injured there are seven injured military officers from this explosion and we've seen pictures of those injured officers so that's the only evidence that we. welcome a duro himself or has put the blame on columbia along with backers in florida why would these parties want him dead. well one of the things he mentioned is that they wanted to plot against him because

of the new economic measures that have been going on here in venezuela we have in a few days we're changing our own currency and there are new. measures to regulate gasoline. prices as well so he's blaming some of that. it is this assassination plot against him all right well what my dora has also said is that a number of those as legibly involved have now been arrested is there any information on who these individuals are or not yet my role mention this briefly during his speech he said he didn't want to give any details until they finish the investigation or something the opposition this could turn into a witch hunt but besides that reaction we've heard little from the opposition specially the opposition leaders about this attack. all right so much doris saying

this wasn't an attempted assassination but we have been hearing some other very different explanations of what happened we have some news agencies saying a firefighter is saying it was a gas tank explosion what have you been hearing. well there are reports and visual evidence of an apartment in flames near the parade where my hoover was speaking and some agencies are reporting that that was the only explosion on site. this is the twenty i've talked to the house or at least twenty times more who has said there has been sponsored gets a slice of what it was how this was president there were over fifty of these accusations of. terror plots against their lives this is the first time you see a such a such an attack. fold out in front of our eyes and this television.

address it was made so it is it would be quite elaborate. plan to take on if it wasn't true and there's a lot of people that are in disbelief of this being sure however in social media and some journalists are. have said that this comes from group of military officers and they are calling me an operation. and that was journalist on sky schleicher reporting earlier from caracas. well turning now to israel where tens of thousands of people have been protesting in tel aviv against a controversial new law demonstration was organized by the country's druze minority they say the lot marginalizes non jewish people in the country many directed their anger at israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. b.d. go home that's the cry from some of the tens of thousands of people who turned out

to protest against israel's contentious nation state legislation a law which essentially defines israel first and foremost as a jewish state arabs make up a fifth of the population and the trees a much smaller minority say the new law also sightlines them but. we are here to send a clear message to the israeli government we were a lot settled down for nothing less than equal rights as the trial is to visit the nation state law to clears israel the exclusive homeland of jewish people it singles and hebrews the state language effectively prioritising it about arabic which has for decades been recognized as an official language to it spoken by the trees who make up just two percent of the population people ask us to consider the ourself we considered ourselves as israeli drools what he did that is

not the name of the rose george states a girl not a jew shall we us the government and the organ in but members of the knesset to delete these will not to convict this law to delete this law from the history of. the juries have risen to high office in the military and politics since the one nine hundred fifty s. now you more than sixty years on they are fighting to retain the recall the see and achieve it for other minorities in israel. and that is some of the other stories making headlines around the world. wildfires have kicked up in southern portugal over one of the hottest weekends on record for the iberian peninsula hundreds of firefighters were sent to battle the blaze with the assistance of water bombing aircraft the europe wide heatwave has been especially severe in portugal and spain with temperatures exceeding forty five
