good food good the good. news. this is deja news live from berlin rising tensions between washington and tehran over the burning oil profits drone attacks for saudi arabia to cutting off its crude oil production the world's largest oil processing the same as he was says the planes by the assault both the ripples from yemen have claimed responsibility but the u.s. blames iraq. on a landmark election in tunis yet voters choose a new president in snap elections this could be the 1st transition of power from

the previous makes it to another in a country where the arab spring began an. international artists integrate interpreter german explorer and it's on the phone from bolt on what if they use 250 of the states. hello i'm christine window while come to the program. drone attacks on saudi arabia's in august oil profits have slashed the bull's daily supply of oil by 5 percent while hoofy rebels from yemen have claimed responsibility the united states has blamed iran for the attack raising tensions yet for the the sweet 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 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 the strikes of effectively cut 5 percent of global supply overnight for over 4 years now riyadh has been involved in a proxy war with iran in yemen the countries who the rebels who are backed by tehran have claimed responsibility for these attacks and found 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 oh

good washington is pointing the finger at iran u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o said on twitter that there was no evidence the attacks had come from yemen he's a rainy and counterpart tweeted back dismissing u.s. claims that tehran was involved in the strikes details about the weapons used and the damage caused remain sketchy ok for more on this story we're joined by atlanta habit or by he is a middle east analyst based in disorders welcome to day. at night so who the rebels in yemen 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. i think in this in this time and in this era we really have to think through different scenarios it is perfectly capable that there with his help in carrying out this strike. there has been this war going on in yemen for years now and with these have tried to show that they are

able to to strike back and they are now showing the vulnerability of saudi oil infrastructure iran could be behind this to show that it can resist against the maximum pressure campaign 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 also back to their allies saudi arabia with regards to the war that is according 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 with the saudis believe the u.s. umbrella security umbrella would actually do for them the control of their country

a 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 have 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 the scolding the magnitude of this has been significantly different so the situation has gotten worse we've had the u.s. state turns issuing reports in in august this month inching to that it will have an effect on how secure a star you really are feels under the u.s. security umbrella or whether it has to develop its 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 vest really needed in that region right that's middle east analyst ed meant by thank you roger marcus a protest as in hong kong have defied a police ban and taken to the streets once again riot police fired tear gas and water cannons with food diet demonstrators to hold rocks and bottles ready through a downtown shopping district descended into violence when groups of hardcore activists try to attack the city's main government complex it was also known as hack on the subway station demonstrators off for international support in the months long. report but it is in hong kong and it joins us now from ohio mathias good to see is so people are back on the streets in their numbers what's happening now wait wait. well people

have gathered our own the government headquarters and the parliament the legislature there have been dispersed with tear gas and. 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. the at the prices 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 protesters and many hong-kong this year's 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 you might say yes and perhaps answer this one very quickly yesterday we saw some clashes between pro beijing support says and pro-democracy supporters 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 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 now to some of the other stories making news around the world israel's prime minister binyamin netanyahu his government has approved a new settlement in the occupied west bank it's seen as

a move to boost his yellow supporter base just 2 days ahead of general elections all settlements in the west bank are viewed as illegal under international law. and more than 80 migrants on board a rescue ship have disembarked on the italian island of lampedusa the move suggests the hard line previously taken by the italian government may be easing and that the new coalition the ocean viking ship is now heading back to continue its rescue mission in the mediterranean. fotis intern is here all going to the polls and presidential elections that could mark the 1st transition of power from one freely and fairly elected president to the next. $26.00 names are on the ballot paper although only $24.00 candidates standing to withdrew from the race just days ago to support a former rival but there's still no clear front runner the presidential election

was brought forward after the death of the incumbent. in july the election has huge symbolic value tunisia is the only country that emerged from the arab spring uprisings at the beginning of the 2010s with a peaceful transition to democracy. high unemployment and inflation have left many voters frustrated but at polling stations today preserving this democracy was the top concern for many. for i am 81 years old and this is my 1st time. via very happy to take part in this free election that we could not have imagined happening in the 1950 s. sixty's seventy's or even in the 1980 s. . but not to the mind that my daughter must learn in her youth the importance of voting so that when she grows up she will have pride in her country and love her country what's to come will be better god willing. i haven't yet heard
