assuming our country did don't comes through. the streets to turn mary jane on d.w. . this is deja news live from berlin rising tensions between washington and tehran both of burning oil profits drone attacks for saudi arabia to cut off its crude oil production the world's not just oil processing the scene as he was 6 or blames by the assault for the rebels from yemen has claimed responsibility but the u.s. blames iran. and tear gas and molotov cocktails violence returned to the streets of hong kong police and protesters clashed again in the city in the territory off to

approach him ocracy demonstrators defied a police baton to march through the city on. a landmark election in tunis the voters choose a new president in snap elections this could be the 1st transition of power from breeding a mix of leadership to free the elites data in the country ways the arab spring began. i'm christine one got welcome to the program. drone attacks on saudi arabia's in august oil profits have slashed the world's days supply of oil by 5 percent but while who the rebels from given 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 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 over 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 found more. or less promised 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 but 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 steroid. details about the weapons used and the damage caused remain sketchy ok for more on this story we're joined by atlanta by he is a middle east analyst based in disorders welcome to day devaney at night so who the rebels and yemen have claimed responsibility of 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 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 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 the attacks and then elaborate more sound strategy and then you sort of hinted at the vulnerability have that this is not the 1st time that oil facilities in saudi arabia have been targeted just how vulnerable are they say let's hack. i think the scope and magnitude of this has been significantly different so the situation has gotten worse we've had us in times issuing reports in august basically last 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 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 very strictly needed in that region right that's what he said in this ad men have a to buy thank you pro-democracy protests as in hong kong have defied a police ban and taken to the streets once again riot police fired tear gas and water cannons at demonstrators who drops at. the ready through a downtown hong kong shopping district to say they did to violence it was also an attack on a subway station demonstrators off warning for international support in the months of pro-democracy campaign. now reports but it is in hong kong and joins us now for more hi mathias good to see is so people are back on the streets in their numbers what's happening now way way you walk. well people

have gathered our own 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 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 and 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 much here much as in past on 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 now to some of the other stories making news around the world west african leaders meeting but in a facile have pledged a $1000000000.00 to combat the growing threat of jihadist violence in the region 2
