on the migrant crisis from is a town in the county . thank you very much for being with us. saudi arabia claims the iranian cruise missiles and drones attacked the heart of the kingdom's oil industry fraragments reporting o be from the weapons we shown to journalists the attack on saturday badly disrupted world oil supply halting immediately the productction of some five point seven million. barrels of crude oil a day however the saudis have stopped short of actually accusing the radiance of launching the attack let's hehear from a a spokespererson r the saudi d defense ministrtry

colonel turkey our- monkey. in this region we have witnessed this thing to iranian aggression which culminated in sac from the north several days ago this attack was not against arm co all the kingdom of saudi arabia. it was an assault on the international community and it delivers attempts to disrupt the global economy and energy industry. that's the word frorom a saudi ararabia of crsee donond trump is spoken out very forcefully about saidd this whole incident let's bring in not david smith b bureau chief for the guardian newspaper. joining us from washington david good d evening to you i wanna how these findings of playing where you are suddenly there is a a growing chorus among. republicans on capitol hill such as sesenator lindsey graham. butut with some sort of action to be takennd mike pompeiii as the secretary of state. it's on a hastily arrangeded trip to saudi arabia arabia and unitedd arab

emirates. he's been probably the most vocal of politician so fault really placing the blame. squarelely on the iran. exiting a double trurump and vie presidenent mikike pence i have been perhaps o one step behind study saying iran. is the most likely culprits but but not not quite so points the finger. of can date condemnation circles from am what however. remains the big question in washington even aftfter thoho basis d detas yoyou menention. is that is howo respond allll or even whether to respond that had been initial sanctions. but perhapsps a lot will depend on the un general assembly. next week and size suggestitions that saudidi araba and the united states. might try t to. build some sort of coalition a around plan on on what to do next and- how to punish iran. and the crown

prince mohammed bin salman apparently a keen on taking some kind of action. of donald trump it's a strange dimers that becauause he e likes to be seen as the- d decisive. and a man of action but of course. his base w would want to g get invovolved in anotother foforma. ththat's r right he's had to wak that tighthtrope. throughout t s presidency readydy that that was that. missilile struckrea when apparentlyly he was movedd by images of children who suffer the gas attack but otherwise he has stayed true to his campaign quite used to be a non interventionist mike a critic of thehe iraq warar and- i justt getting involved in enron complex so even though he is. very close to saudi arabibia a t the same time especially than election coming up that i don't think donald trump would have much appetite. the sending troops into battle and old a politicacal baggagththat would

that come e with that. all yes n the one hande likes to pose as a strong man of the match this figure out but- all all the all the- the america first policies often and mereka quite isolated and- not taking paulson means. conflilicts that we saw in the george w. . bush era. take this mess of the guardian newspaperer in washingtonon thank you very much indeed. thank you. next a deadlock in israel the second historic election this year you start because i it's the first timeme the thingng to o do in te same. a one year pereriod has again failed t to find a p party with a clear majority while a definitive results the still awaited there is an interesting pattern emerging. after a lieutenant in april'sslection israeli arab voters turned out in numbers to vote on tuesday it looks like with. more than 90% of the votes counted this wednesday the joint list. is expected to win about a dozen seats in the one hundred twenty member knesset. coming third after blew my party of former military chief petty gance and

the right wing likud of the prime minister benjamin netanyahu. the job list outscoring the tradititional kig make affect all lieberman'n's israel. a big town who. it was michael is in jerusalem. good deal i said it arab housing politicians and arab analysts say that it's p possibly the fat ththat they unified review i'm our public the israeli arabs. had indicated i wanted one party and not to as it was in the april election. they also put it down to the galvanizing the impact. of the anti arab campaign that the prime minister rent you know he had runners in previous years but this year it had the impact to bring people out to vote. perhaps because it wasn't just against the arab parties was actually against the israeli arabs the whole population itself they certainly felt under attack. and i came out to those something like ten seems more. in real figures then had voted in april s so i'm not you

know it's not just name by the way. cronies over the prime ministerer and close ally if hes has said openly that that policy that they that the prime minister of this year. and according blew up. in in that fight so didn't do the record any orders all. smack loud correspondent in naturism course last much and television at the at likud party headquarters waiting. benjamin netanyahu what we to o the wee small hours of busy time for a correspondent's that and israel let's bring in full analysis commented chuck from the cruise. former deputy national security adviser i in israel and senior fellow at the harvard. kennedy school chuckling from acachieving witith us i'm wondeg given what the projections are dodo wee expect ararab israeliso play a role in what happens next politically. isn't until now they've been excluluded. . l i think there's a possibility that they may be part of f a

blockiking coalition this time. arare they hadd never actuaually wawanted to be. part of the ocen in the park in the past a and will never asked to join. and i think that the fact that they were even considering being. part of the blocking coalition. is actually a reflection of the positive change that is taking place yes on the one hand there was a and only scare campaign. led by the premier. but at the same time we also seats the arab. expressing basin is also a product to buy. i it also but doing so they're saying we want to be. releasesed alright so i think that it's a changege for thee- i'll be seeieing an end of an era you think i'm thinking about benjamin netanyahu. i think the answer is yes you started the record by talking about the deadlock and i think that's an accurate characterization in the short

term. but what h happened this time o on the lake in the previous election. is not t only is the premier now and not t the headad of the largest party. but there's s actuallyly no way. in reality that he could announce formrmal coalition cluster minimum threshold of sixty one. now mr gun starts further behind in the prime minister does what he could to form a coalition of considerably more than sixty one. it would require some major developments to happen it's not going to happen overnightht. i think we'e in for weeks maybe even a couple of months of work will be. very difficult and i would say probably at times very ugly coalition talks. because here we're talking a prime minister who. like any politician of course wants to be reelected but in this case the stakes are infinitely higher because if he

doesn't form the next coalition and as i said it's almost impossible for them to do so he's probably going to jail so he's going to do everything he possibly can. but he can to form a coalition he has to see if he can find a way to get to mr guns to recant his previous position and agreed to a coalition withh mr netanyahu not just with the likud party which is agreed to but we'll go o with misterer victim now that doesn't seem likely. and it doesn't seem likely to happen on the part o of mister lieberman eithr who would be the primary ocean park indeed this call for a government o of national unity t seems like. from what you're describing. it would be anything but that. woah i iff and when it hapappens andnd i think i it prorobably will and n the end it will be blue and white it will be. cold and it will be lieberman and the real question is whoho is the primee

minister that's less c clear. or but it will be a part. of collusion in which the ideological differences aren't that great in domestic policy the ability is secondary. and on follow on foreign policy as they are more significant but- they can agree to disagree and- they can form a coalition which could actually. stay in power for if not insult for years a considerable period of time so i hope to speak again very soon when that this movement from that deadlock that we would be seeing it in that the israeli political scene check for i think that. a former deputy national security adviser in israel and now senior fellow at the harvard kennedy school. thank you sir for joining us and thank you for your analysis. we'll keep it on all developments that for you in. israel a looking at said the machinations as they continue. next year life comparison a fire at a koranicic school outside. liberia's capitalal is killed at least twenty seven people. many thought to be

shown again on every a shenanigans on every level continue we will bring you every development as it happens. some of the business kate moody joins us here in the studio starting in washington all eyes on the us federal reserve whether on you right now but tell us about it well i've been watching the fed her first perfect. and mark as expected america's central bank has announced a second rate cut in as many months in an effort to stimulate the economy and boost inflation towards it's 2% target. now back in july the fed reduced its key federal funds rate for the first time in over a decade. that rate was slashed during the financiaial crisis it remained low throughout the recovery now as you can see it has been brought back only very gradually since the end of twenty fifteen. in a divided vote the fed board of governors decided on a further reduction of twenty five basis points that brings the borrowing rate down to between one and three quarters and two percent. the chief drum powell said the economy was facing growing uncertainty. global

growth has continued to weaken. i think it's weakened since the since as our last meeting. trade developments have been up and down and then up i guess or backup perhaps. over the course of the center meeting. any case they've been quite volatile so we do see those risks is actually. more heightened now. we're gonna be watching it carefully were also going to be watching the u. s. data quite carefully. and we'll have to make an assessment as we go. and on trump has been extremely vocal in calling for sharply lower interest rates. at odds with modern tradition in which presidents don't directly comment on the fed's movements. to believe that the cut should have been even deeper this time around that he has tweeted that this latest decision shows no guts or vision. describing it as another failure. some critics say that with moderate economic growth and low unemployment the fed actually should be taking action at all but you'd rather keep its tools in reserve to be used in a real crisis. thatt however pointed to weaken to business and investment and exports even as it slightly raised its prediction for growth from two point to put two or two point

1% for this year. at the rate the central bank sets then trickles down to other banks to lower rates make mortgages loans or credit card payments less expensive. they also mean smaller returns on savings consumers shouldn't expect an immediate impact but that could change if this trend continues. noble street had been waiting for that announcement was all us markets initially dropping still further below the flat line. about rallying slightly by the closing bell the dow jones sp five hundred each closing ever so slightly in the green. sure the fed ex plunge 13% after the shipping and logistics company slashed its own outlook for the coming year. earlier we saww muted othes for the major european markets at the french energy firm eds so it's shares rise. 3% t that helped boost the kick out here in paris. the white house has revoked california's right to set its own emissions standards for vehicles. saying that all states will have to adhere to national regulations. donald trump claims the move will save c consumers money and improve road safety. but many

critics warnn it will result in more planet warming pollution on games for has the story. it's a move that's been criticized by environmentalists. donald trump is revoking california's authority to set emission standards stricter than those issued by federal regulators. trump claims is action will result in less expensive safer because- he says americans will purchase more new because resulting in kenya *-*- as older models are taken off the roads. many more cars will be produced on the venue and uniform standards meaning significantly more jobs jobs jobs. under the clean air act california has been able to set its own emissions standards since the nineteen seventies and these became the de facto images nation wind as comic is standardized at vehicles. trump's promise that consumers will save doesn't address the money they would pocket at the gas pump if costs have better mileage. according to one study

his standards do intervals the ownerf accomplishing twenty twenty six will pay over three thousand three hundred dollars more for gasoline during the life of the vehicle. environmental groups are predicting trumps measure will mean more fuel is consumed resulting in higher levels of pollution. many have pledged to work with california officials to fight the move. researchers say that smart home devices are sending personal data to third come to third partieies like teh companies and advertisers according to a study byy northeastern university and the imimperial college of london. smart tv's and streaming boxes have been collecting information about what you're watching and doing in your home and sendnding it to companies like netflix spotify and facebook even if the owner of that device doesn't have an account with those sites. there is for now only limited oversight of new wave of smart devices that are being developed for home use but i have to say mark at s stories like this make me want to swear

off technology for ever. absolutely shocking isn't it just get yourself a book. the great advice kate thank you very much indeed cabey with this is great to see you. never know who's listening. that's because the studio and it changed me to watch good evening to you i have them. starting to look at more action to out what's been happening in israel the election. yes certainly turbulent times i'm pretty confusing to you for a lot of people. even including the times of israel he ran this story today with the headline of bye bye bb hello unity all. of the symbol to show someone looking terribly confused at this also she begins with the line the only thing we can narrow. is that we know nothing. he's been slightly motors that he does know a little bit more than n nothing and it is well worth the read of this article. but a lot of people wondering exactly what all this is going to mean this twenty is a saying. in short we can somewhat the elections in israel in one sentence netanyahu loss to the center left didn't win. and the other thing that we sing an awful lot of repeat repetition of the phrase the end of the netanyahu

aaron and some people are. putting a question mark in the other the more exotic andy this opinion piece in the new york times. is fairly emphatic saying that the basically the political dynamics that kept benjamin netanyahu in power our decade. have shifted under his feet. however he does qualify that the focus bottle is still thick which i think is a poetic way of saying i was to quote don't quite know what's acactually happening. and the middle east hi is pretty emphatic to on this saying whatever comes next the netanyahu. is as we know it is over. so basically even if he finds a way to be at the head of a- a unity government perhaps he still won't wield the same power and really is the beginning of the end if not the very end. haaretz has been reporting on this to a surprising needed liberal. leading a publication from israel and they say it may be just may be the age of netanyahu has come to an end slightly more qualified a message from them. and there's a particularly british take from the british publication.

at jewish news which went with this on that front page be backs it and question mark. as that i wonder what's going to happen benjamin netanyahu. has been very. very confident ready that he. in this situation. the phone all right figure who could. choose basically he's going to get into power. iss that she working to get netanyahu replaced. what's even more interesting in this article if they say that likud officials. officials from benjamin netanyahu's own policy actually met. after these exit polls came out. to discuss ways in which they could potentially get rid of netanyahu as their leader. now the party does seem to have very much. moved to back him now b but it's interesting that those discussionons were hot. in tast. so we wait and see. what emerges from the at deadlock in

israel. now it's is that september which means of course all around the world back to school time. one campaign group in the us is issued rather unsettling. i i put on the subjectt tell us more. yes it is extremely unsettling so i will warn you now. that you might not want t to watch this particular part of the video. and bus it is important the message is important sandy hook promises a campaign group that was set up. in the wake of that twenty twelve she's in which twenty children age six and seven were killed. six star adults as well about to elementary school in connecticut. and they released a new public service announcement message to date which was screened. in the u. s. the back to school essentials. it is extremely tough to watch take a look. this is a real must have. it's pretty cooll. ststay in touch wh

mymy mom. very distressing in a very distressing extremely distressing it's a very very strong messages got lots and lots of reaction online on surprisingly even politicians as speaking over maybe on surprisingly politicians speaking out best to a role one of the democrats hopefuls to become the next presidential nominee says when kids go back to school they have plenty to worry about they shouldn't also have to wonder if they're going to make it home we need to bite back with these assault weapons. at chris murphy who's at a government says if you feel a gut punch watching this new psa from sandy hook and i promise that you will today is the day to ask yourself what you are going to do to help stop school shootings it's worth mentioning that this campaign is all about the fact that they believe you can spot the signs over school she said if you know what they are. it's not a campaign about actually getting wrestling guns from

people's hands this is about ensuring that these things don't keep happening and this person's l. a little bit negative about it saying that they feel as heavy handed it's a good pointnt making but goo dn my hot hats and i think a lot of people do you share that view but this reply to her it's very interesting. be a teacher or a sub go to a few of the mandatory meetings on active she she's doing actual longg lilife she s should d drill this commercial was tame and t this respononse to this madade m me y becausee sandy hook is ththe reason i didn'n't wanant to be a teacacher anymore the really really strong reactions but plenty of people to using this moment to actually repeat that designed to keep the sacrament second amendment. thought right to bear arms this person tweeting would you be happier if they were mowed down by calls in t the imamage come and tatake it under an automatic rifle what is going on that person said you do have to wonder but a lot of people are very defensive of their right to bear arms and a lot of people cheese in this moment to

speak out now it's interesting that as well today. a fashion label in the us is making headlines. at because they chose to bake a range of. school shooting themed sweatshirts hoodies sweatshirts. and unsurprisingly getting a lot of criticism for it that's the one with sandy hook written on it. as if it weren't repugnant enough you will notice there are actually bullet holes. in the dash at i'm not sure about the gentle on the left hand side of the photograph whether he's pretty disgusted by what he's seeing. and the label which i'm not going to name because i'm not going to get enough publicity. has tried to defend their actions saying it's meant to be. ironic the fact that you got wrong the space to be safe. the drawing attention to these kind of problems. but yes it is. a lot of people calling for this label to be shut down urging people not to buy that close anymore. one one defense freedom of expression of course but this distant. piece to be completely sectors that obsolete ridiculous. emma so bring stuff indeed thank you very much data from you watch

and a chance thank you. thanks to the committee for the business asked about. and thank you for watching stay with a small company live from paris
