it. drew 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. the government declared it in assassination attempt. on a marketing stage which i don't want to see on the explosions were heard which we have established as coming from multiple drone he could work. out the fact of what order that people are drawn to that i do not think that it was an attempt on the life of the president of venezuela nicolas maduro to go with your idea but to put everyone at ease the attack has failed to get it or that it or others without a complete i mean. just hours later mother gave a defiant speech speculating that the incident was

a right wing conspiracy with ties abroad. and infant thoughts 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 juan manuel santos is behind this attempt i have no doubt. the socialist president has often accused the right wing opposition of plotting it too but as the economy continues to weaken widespread protests have become one of the biggest threats to my duros administration we're joined now by correspondent oscar schleicher who's in the event of cap venezuelan capital caracas so i ask her 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 duros 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 or the information minister said some drone parts an explosive residue in a neighborhood near my apartment but we have had no we haven't had any visuals but as of now there are eyewitnesses that reported seeing a flying object explode near the stairs 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 to 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

a few days where it's changing our whole currency and there are new. measures to regulate gasoline. prices as well so he's blaming some of that. is this assassination plot against him all right well what my dura has also said is that a number of those as legibly and 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 my door is 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 they're all reports and visual evidence of an apartment in flames near the parade where mother was speaking and some agencies are reporting that that was the only explosion on site. this is the twenty year time of who has at least twenty times more who has said there has been parts against his life when it was obvious was president there were over fifty of these accusations of terror plots against their lives this is the first time you see any such such an attack. fall 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 that 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 a group of military officers and they are calling me an operations. journalist oscar schleicher speaking to us 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 the demonstration was organized by the country's druze minority they say the law marginalized is 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 settle down for nothing less than equal rights as israelis to visits the nation state law to clears israel the exclusive homeland of jewish people its single sake he prius the state language effectively prioritising it about arabic which has for decades been recognized as an official language to its spoken by the trees who make up just two percent of the population people ask us to

consider ourselves we considered ourselves as israeli drones one who did that is not the name of the rose george state of the not a jew shall we us because our government and the all the name 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 seat and achieve it for other minorities in israel. now to 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 year of wind heat wave has been especially severe in portugal and spain with temperatures exceeding forty five degrees celsius

control laws protesters called for tougher background checks for buyers of guns and a ban on assault weapons but supporters of the powerful gun lobby also came to voice their opposition against such restrictions w.'s clear richardson reports from fairfax virginia. in a polarized national debate a rare display of the two sides talking to each other but both are holding their ground. yet you're put property over life which is a crime no it's not. i'm sure i can thank you for everything is necessary to owning a razor for my home as we are it's a heated discussion as protesters and counter protesters clashed over the role of guns in the united states this is a stop on the march of our lives national road trip that's been aimed at raising awareness about gun violence and registering people to vote as you can see it's a smaller protest that some of the ones we've seen earlier this year but the

location is important we're here right in front of the national rifle association which they blame are buying off politicians. across a police barricade and are a supporters say it's people not guns that are the problem they don't want any restrictions on their ability to carry such weapons. it's someone who doesn't follow the law because we let's face it criminals don't fall the law comes out and decides to hurt me or anyone else in the group i want to have adequate protection to help those kind of people guns are the great equalizer it's you know if i'm up against a two hundred fifty pound man i cannot physically defend myself without some form of you know self-defense weapon. but showing up wearing guns is horrifying for students who have seen their classmates gunned down before their eyes i'm not saying you know take away all their guns but i'm like you right there are disregarding like the laws that everyone who's like lost their lives again america to gun violence and like is this like disrespectful. walking all over was
