long pro-democracy campaign. now reports him as he has but it is in hong kong and he joins us now from ohio mathias good to see you so people are back on the streets in their numbers what's happening now way way you walk. well people have 1st gathered around the government headquarters and the parliament the legislature there have been dispersed with tear gas. water cannons from there and then then all of them moving around the city just a moment ago there were a lot of protesters here now they've moved to other streets and they're really regrouping over there as you can see so everybody is on the move the protesters in the streets of hong kong and the police behind them. the at the protests were initially triggered by an extradition bill that has since been withdrawn why are people still taking to the streets why are they still protesting.

if this withdrawal had come in the very beginning after the 1st mass demonstrations then probably everything would have ended soon but since these protests have begun so much anger has built up anger mostly at the police force that has been using tear gas and rubber bullets and what protesters and many hong-kong or see as excessive violence. so an investigation into police violence is one of the main demands of the protesters and this slow reaction of the government paired with this harsh reaction off the police and and this willingness to use violence against the protesters has also convinced many people that they should stand up to their demand of universal suffrage to elect their government themselves they are not happy with this system they have not been happy with this system that guarantees beijing a say in appointing the chief executive the head of government and the

more this has been continuing the more people feel that this system is broken and they need political reform a one month see a much less and perhaps answer this one very quickly yesterday we saw some clashes between pro beijing's support is and pro-democracy support has how polarized would you say hong kong is right now. well the cleavage between the 2 camps is getting bigger you can imagine all these pictures of violence violence by the police but also by the protestors are of course driving people closer together in their own camp from surveys of you know we know that most hong kong is a majority is standing behind the demands of the protesters an ease with the political system has been growing over the past 5 years when beijing interfered more and more directly into hong kong politics so probably the moral majority is standing with the protesters although they might not be approve of all of the

methods they use and the violence right that's mathias bowling in hong kong thank you. it's to the middle east now where drone strikes on saudi arabia's largest oil on's have slashed the will stay the supply of oil i think percent but while he rebels from yemen have claimed responsibility the united states has blamed iran for the attack raising tensions yet further between washington and tehran. one of the globe's most crucial commodities going up in smoke the result of twin drone strikes at the heart of saudi arabia's oil industry state media say the fires that erupted after saturday's attacks were quickly brought under control but officials say that production at the apple cake oil processing facility the largest in the world and the courageous oil field the country's 2nd biggest has been temporarily suspended there are fears of how this might affect world markets with

saudi arabia responsible for about a 10th of the world's oil output these strikes have effectively cut 5 percent of global supply overnight for the 4 years now riyadh has been involved in a proxy war with iran in yemen the country's who the rebels who are backed by tehran have claimed responsibility for these attacks and filed more. 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. but washington is pointing the finger at iran u.s. secretary of state. said on twitter that there was no evidence the attacks had come from yemen tehran has dismissed u.s. claims and denied any involvement in the strikes ok for more on this story we're joined by advent of attack by he's a mideast analyst based in a desolate all flocking to do. that so who the rebels and given have claimed

responsibility but the u.s. accuses iran of being behind the drone attacks tehran denies it what's your sense of who do you think is telling the truth. in this in this time and in this era we really have to think through different scenarios it is perfectly capable that there with us have been carrying out this strike. there has been this war going on in yemen for years now and these have tried to show that they are able to to strike back and there are no sure in the vulnerability of saudi oil infrastructure iran could be behind this to show that it can resist against the maximum pressure from being launched by the u.s. against iran and the u.s. will obviously try to blame iran not only to find another cause to up the pressure against iran but to also back to their allies saudi arabia with regards to the war that is going on in yemen how likely or rather how is saudi arabia

likely it's a response to these attacks. that is indeed difficult to say because what we really have to keep to bear in mind here with these attacks is that the vulnerability of the crucial saudi oil infrastructure has been on display here and it has a lot to do with what this that what the saudis believe the u.s. umbrella security umbrella would actually do for them the country. missile system which is supposed to in fact prevent such attacks from happening so it's difficult for saudi arabia to now assess whether it should strike back or in fact wait and see what really has been behind those attacks and then elaborate more sound strategy and then you sort of hinted at the vulnerability here but this is not the 1st time that oil facilities in saudi arabia have been targeted just how vulnerable odd they say let's hack. i think to the scope and the magnitude of this one has

been significantly different so the decision has gotten worse we've had us in times issuing reports in in august basically last month in tng 2 that it will it will have an effect on how secure saudi arabia feels under the u.s. security umbrella or whether it has to develop its own security arrangement in the region which may sound cynical would actually be a good outcome of the incident like this so that in fact there is a regional arrangement for security something that i think is a vest really needed in that region right that's not a nice analysts at nantes have got to buy i think. now to some of the other stories making news around the world to ms is holding its 2nd free presidential elections the vote was fought for from november off to the death of the last president a city the polls are widely viewed as
