hong kong police and. broke into quarrels and fights and so few people got injured in the end for pro-democracy protesters also arrested and actually this is not the only instance that happened in hong kong today and so for different districts there were also confrontations between the 2 groups and many pro-democracy protests say were actually using the police off siding with these. protesters and they think that it's not fair how the police are treating the 2 sides. an hour bring you some of the other stories making news around the world the white house says homes of bin laden the son of the late al qaeda leader osama has been killed in a u.s. counterterrorism operation carried out near the border of afghanistan and pakistan 2 years ago the u.s. state department designated how a global terrorist after he called for attacks in western capitals. the afghan

a dispute between mugabe's family and the zimbabwean government several african heads of state travel to the capital harare to honor the controversial strongman and our correspondent krishna reports. give us time to grieve our euro sing the supporters of robert mugabe and the national stage to move our way to celebrating the life of zimbabwe's former president is near by helicopter lands carrying his caskets. use the reason i can assume i would use the only boys didn't you know to go on is to stand against tony blair who is the new president is what he probably did. leadership is the real present with influence in the whole of the world and gaba fought for the independence of his country and against western imperialism but during mugabe's 37 years in office zimbabwe was blanked into an economic crisis that has yet to recover from. hardly any of the a.t.m.

see in zimbabwe i walk in there is no stable currency hardly any jobs constant power cuts and every 4th zimbabwean has left the country also this is part of the legacy of robert mugabe and his party zanu p.f. that has been running the country since independence under the new president emerson who benefited from the coup against the gaba the opposition remains under pressure even so some of mugabe's onetime opponents among the mourners have suffered quite a number of. pain. to me. it is said 64 times by him it appears now live without a member my mother and my father. hazing i was diligent in the good of being destroyed cheating the period of your staff. member my house. instead made a civil tongue should bend down but you must be able to corner those people who are

in agreement to see that despite nothing and under this one this with mugabe is supported many african states in their battles for independence that's why meters from across africa have taken part in the state funeral in iraq it's a painful moment for many but also a chance was involved with to focus on the future. of our correspondent under increases in harare so tell us about the state funeral who was there and also who wasn't there. well i mean a lot of heads of states where there was a huge celebration would have seen for thousands of people there were not many people from the western world there just some ambassadress obviously that is a sign as well and another part of the truth is also that the stadium was rather empty maximum 25 percent of the capacity a lot of people i talked to in the city center of howrah said well we're rather

indifferent about it we just want to go about our lives and make our living. now there's been a dispute over exactly where robert mugabe's remains will be laid to rest has this ultimately been resolved. it looks like and now he was supposed to be buried tomorrow at the hero's acre here in harare but the family did not want that so eventually he will be taken to his home village tomorrow and only be buried here in horror after 30 days but what this dispute shows is that how divided the ruling party the zanu p.f. still is in the people who are supporting mugabe and on the other hand the people who support the current president emerson non-god we have to recall that 2 years ago there was this coup against mugabe he was kicked out of office basically by the military and the people who used to support him and this made him a quite bitter man after was that which his family member said he was of course not happy about that last year when we had elections here even advice to supporters not to vote for the governing party and now this. this kind of fight you have now about

his burial between the government and the family shows how strong this dispute still has become it was a very controversial thank you or to say the least what kind of legacy does he live . right i mean on the one hand you have mugabe the freedom fighter who liberated his country but then on the other hand in his 37 years in power he really parts of the country the economy is completely down the health system is struggling there's so many issues here every 4th zimbabwean has left in this country because he ran down the country and we also have to mention the massive human rights abuses that were committed under his watch as you increase for us and her out i thank you so much. 2 major oil facilities in saudi arabia have been set on fire after being attacked by drones authorities say the fires have sense been brought under control and an investigation has been launched state television says oil exports are continuing

one of the sites hit is the world's largest oil plus processing plant in a kick to the east of the capital riyadh blazes also broke out in the country's 2nd largest oil field in crude rice the sites belong to the saudi state owned oil producer aramco and there was no word on any injuries. to me now in the studio as you have a reporter in the corps reese has been looking into the story for us surgical what do we know about this attack so far well we do know that these attacks happened in the early morning this saturday and hoofy rebels claim that they used to 10 on monday drones to carry them out the extent of the damage is yet to be known and the saudi or thora t. cells the very type that they only have released little information little detail they say the flames under control that they've launched and launched an investigation and also the company itself around co hasn't issued a statement yet but we only have to see the smoke here on screen in the back of

both this huge blaze this we're talking about and this certainly will be some substantial damage on these plants right now the question is how much it is there are sources who say that actually oil production has been disrupted it's not been officially confirmed but if that's the case this could be a big issue for saudi arabia because we're talking about key oil production plants here i mean a cake which one of the one you just mentioned is one of the world's largest one it produces up to 7 percent of rolled all supplies for the whole world it's really a huge it's a sensitive target and the attack us we're certainly aware of this with the rebels claimed responsibility after the attacks they say it's in retaliation to saudi led rebels attacking them on the ground in yemen they issued a statement let's just have a quick listen to one of the spokesman. let's look up all of us should we promise the saudi regime that are coming operations will only grow wider and will be more painful than before so long as their aggression and blockade continues we assure

them that our target list is growing day by day and that the only solution is for them to stop the aggression and blockade against our country was saudi other but of you know so you see it worlds full of tension and also this tension might very well reflect on the conflict that we have on the ground in yemen between saudi led to rebel groups and also the fifty's and fighting each other since 2015 so this is not the 1st time as you mentioned since 2015 that who does have targeted oil supplies that we've seen a lot in recent months with attacks on pipelines on another oil fields are causing some fires why are we seeing this what is it about saudi arabian oil fields that's . vital in these attacks against the well the oil fields on the weak spot that they are one of the world's biggest oil producer in the top 3 after the united states and before russia and actually oil and the oil and gas sector count for 50 percent

of the g.d.p. and 70 percent of our exports so it's quite a huge factor for the economy that's why it's really a target for attacks or also instead rely stations to speak and i think these numbers coming from opec they really pretty much speak for themselves and it's a lifeline oil is a lifeline for saudi arabia very aware of this as well because they're working on some recons of the economy they want to diversify and they want to support small and middle sized businesses and integrate women into the market but they only in the process so any kind of disruption whether it be a tax or oil price dropping puts their economy a jeopardy and is then also a target to the reporter nicole restyling the story for us thank you so much. and a reminder of the top story we're following for you here pro-democracy protests in hong kong have been marked by pilots' clashes broke out at a mall when a probation up to this faced off against protesters it's just the latest
