Chin is ians are voting to elect their 2nd president since the 2011 spring Vice President of the fatah model is one of 26 people vying for the role left vacant by bass he hired as subsidy who died in july aged 92 was stephanie deckers outside a polling station in the capital for us stephanie theres a lot riding on these elections of course give us an indication of whats happening where you are. But were just. Hours over a when the doors open with voting stations open theres been a trickle of people if you will throughout the morning you heard earlier in our package what theyve been telling us about which is basically that they want change that theres unemployment levels are higher than before 2011 security situation is worse than before 2011 but at the same time the revolution has given them more freedoms particular when it comes to discussing anything into the open you had for the 1st time here rob you had president ial debates on television because you have officially 26 candidates today 242 of those jumped out on the ballot box so there is a lot of choice but the question is this what these people want to know is is whoever is going to fill that seat are going to make actual changes on the ground and this is what people want here they want real change they dont just want something to promise them an agenda a policy when they need their vote they want that to translate Going Forward so were going to have to wait and see and its interesting for tenacious certainly because you have president ial elections now youve got a lead just the tip elections coming up on october and that means a Prime Minister a cabinet a government so the entire Political Landscape of tunisia is being defined over the next few weeks ringback so it is an important time and certain people there are saying that this time its about what the candidate can do for that. Stephanie give us an indication if you can afford to mystic people there that whoever gets into the offices will actually be able to make the changes that the country seems to need. I think it really depends who you speak to the interesting divide here is between those who still have some faith in the sort of more mainstream parties that have played the politics here for quite some time in particular lets say the last 8 years which is the more secular a new doc to notice and the more religiously conservative and that apart is then you have those markets completely disappointed by Political Parties who are trying to give their votes to those that are more independent for example you mentioned the media mogul whos theres a reason hes currently in prison on Money Laundering and tax fraud charges well you know he used to be and still seems to be even though we havent had recent polls in the front running theres another gentleman whos a lawyer more conservative also independent and new cover so to speak that people are talking about so i think it will be interesting to see who gets the top 2 top spots whether it is someone attached to one of those mainstream parties or if it is someone as some analysts youre talking about a populist protest vote that is completely independent new and then the question is whether theyre going to make any real changes on the ground or whether the politics were rhetoric and things will just continue as is because certainly from everyone weve been speaking to over the last week or so rob the message is the same unemployment is a major issue economy security corruption these are things that they really want to be addressed 70 thanks very much indeed. Leaders in west africa have placed a 1000000000. 00 to combat attacks by fighters linked to al qaida and deisel the leaders held an emergency summit in brooklyn a fosse of just a few days after the attacks there constant sort of reports from the capital. A moment of silence for 29 people who were killed in 2 separate attacks in north and booking a fossil last week one of the attacks happened at a location where all desire a was filming just a day alia a minibus carrying civilians driven by a landmine. 15 people were killed. Heads of state who attended this emergency summit organized by the regional bloc raised concern about the increasing number of cross border attacks by armed groups in the sahara theyre also worried the violence could spread to other coastal countries. In the last 6 months there have been many terrorist attacks with serious consequences violence and insecurity has caused an unprecedented humanitarian across is millions of people displaced in the region. The summit brought together president s from the help countries known as the g 5 minding said to fight terrorism and illegal migration across border as representatives from other west african countries affected by armed groups like what also here they agreed to share intelligence have a joint patrols along the border as invest in training Security Forces and so on they also pledged a 1000000000 u. S. Dollars within 5 years for counterterrorism activities. We have asked the defense and security missiles to put together a practical proposal or not be a causal Standby Force going to be deployed to help. Some security analysts say regional efforts to contain the crisis have not quite been effective in the past because of conflicting interests by individual countries and Regional Organization as well as competition for resources and visibility are both say that a military intervention on its own cannot work without a Development Agenda in. The fight against terrorism is not only about deploying troops there are many regions that have been neglected by governments for years people of porn frustrated the issue of disparity must be addressed. Theyve been more than 2000 attacks by armed groups in this a hell in the last few yes just over 11000 people have been killed in book enough ah so many of the displaced have sought refuge in schools camps set up by the government and aid workers as well as with well wishes in safe areas where they fled to their leaders say the action plan theyve induced is solid implementing it though will be the harder part catherine saw aljazeera whether to go look in a fossil. 82 migrants rescued a week ago in the mediterranean by the ocean viking charity ship have been allowed to land in the italian island of lampedusa its the 1st time in months that the rescue ships being given permission to dock in an italian port after the previous governments ban the new government has promised a fresh approach Prime Minister said several even you countries have agreed to accept the rescued migrants obrien reports. The news brought tangible relief to ocean viking after nearly a week in limbo. Earth. Place. Was. Here. It sparked a spontaneous celebration among the rescued migrants invited we are very happy about the news it is amazing were going to arrive in a place where people understand and listen to us if theyre happy to lend that we have to some backing and. Its a new Prime Minister decepticon tech has been in power just a week and contis center Left Coalition Government Supports a more humane approach than the hardline closed ports policy of the previous interior minister Matteo Salvini but ministers insist that does not mean its only now has an open door policy. I believe is a big misunderstanding about the safe ports given to ocean viking it was assigned to ports simply because the e. U. Stuck to our request to take the majority of the microbes it must be clear that all rain is to ensure that those who arrive in italy or redistributed to other European Countries. That hasnt stopped salvini from criticizing. Redistributions in europe are just words because i am still waiting for the other European Countries to take a few 1000 of those they have already promised to take. So this is a surrender obviously one of qantas promises to europe was that it really would return to being a refugee camp. Back on board the are already planning where they might be sent germany has promised to take 25 percent of any refugees rescued in the mediterranean but the rest of the distribution is less clear the subject will certainly come up when e.

Shirts and shorts and dresses and toiletries all gathered by the people and now so for those who lost everything in the hurricane literally thousands of people are coming from the island with nothing but the clothes on their back some not even with shoes and so they lost everything and so this set up is just to be there to help people regain some kind of dignity and you know when then humanity and just the good feeling about themselves and to be independent again. It started as a call to a few people went viral and suddenly it became a meter operation the next step is distribution was no organization grouping it was just a message sent out and the people responded well locals are playing their part the International Community is doing what it can its assessing the damage caused and. It can even begin to repair rebuild and recall behind this door is where the Huge International operation is being coordinated there are so many agencies so much what going on they dont want to let the cameras in this is by far and away the biggest disaster ever to hit the bahamas the rebuilding will take months it will take years and the cost will be millions it will be billions trying to get information from areas that have come from my.

Indonesia is in the grip of an extinction epidemic with endangered species disappearing at record levels can it be stopped before its too lax when a student gets to gates indonesias crisis on al jazeera. Hello and welcome again to rewind summary when we launched aljazeera english more than 10 years ago our goal was to bring you the sorts of documentaries the channels simply want to hear on rewind we revisit some of the best of them and find out how the stories of moved on and today were returning to a film which had a major impact on young lives and changed the way a Global Business was developing tourism it is one of the biggest drivers of the Global Economy in 2018 it was worth nearly 9 trillion dollars making up more than 10 percent of the worlds gross domestic products. After emerging from more than 2 decades of war in the 1990 s. Cambodia has relied heavily on tourism to rebuild its economy its one of the Top Destinations for young travelers many of whom sign up with global volunteering companies but theres a dark side to this story war breeds all fins and back in 2012 Investigative Reporter Giuliana Rufus went on to tell the to find that well intentioned tourists were unwittingly fueling the exploitation of children at poorly regulated orphanages from the people in policy areas this is cambodias off a business. Numpad in the capital of come by leah. Between the 1970 s. And 1990 s. Cambodia was ravaged by civil war. Since its return to peace there has been a boom in tourism with over 2000000 visiting every year. Came to help this war torn country increasing numbers of tourists and now also working as one until. Most come with the very best intentions to work in schools and orphanages filling a gap left by a lack of development funding. But recently disturbing stories have emerged that come bowden children are being exploited by some of the companies organizing volunteers all running all from agencies weve come to come by yet to investigate allegations that quite a few of these orphanages out run not for need but for profit. Our journey begins on the outskirts of jumpin at an orphanage and school for the peoples improvement organization. Set up 10 years ago it provides Free Education for children who worked on the citys main garbage dump. Was that. They. If theres an example of best practice in this industry then perhaps this is it means now that. The book from denmark has come to teach for 2 months. So has it been so far i really like that its so clean i can do whatever i want and they come in to my fans like that everybodys really friendly and the kids are really respectful and they really care they give a lot. In a deprived neighborhood p. O. s making a difference to organize pullen tearing in foreign donations. Its founder pam and newman explains how past conflicts have contributed to the estimated 10000 children in orphanages already yet to have children and they are so poor and they are abandoned them sometimes they just come to drop in from the door and they leave we dont know what where are they from these people why would a parent leave their child here on the doorstep while he will often at. Yad do know they. Cannot afford to take care and also on some family day one but to go to school but they cannot afford. There are now almost 500 off images encumber a figure that has doubled in the past decade. Some like p i o rely on foreign volunteers for skills and labor but the vast majority use volunteer and to generate income. We find one of them the lighthouse orphanage on the other side of town. The. Sinking. Lighthouse is home to 108 boys and girls ranging from 3 to 18 years old and. They request that we donate some food for the. When to eat you get good food sometimes too you struggle i cant say much better than your hometown a. B. C. Got me a few oh yeah so you need to nations from volunteer mr ritchie is responsible for bringing volunteers to light house and hes found a way of increasing revenues. You will finish is not just hosting gap year volunteers but groups of School Students on short term stays 2 just now a group of canadians are visiting in their downtime to students get to play with the children. And over the past week some special friendships have developed even the teachers are not immune and they say i dont know. Dealing with the kiddies going to have to just lay down here and you know one of these little guys walks up and grabs your hand you have no choice but to sort of follow up with them sort of way. And that its pretty awesome. As canadian simple from stroke closer not just good will but a lot of money is flowing into the orphanages to. Be supplied. The labor readily bought the tiles the sand the compost so we sent out about 5000. 00 ahead of time and then i brought a few 100. 00 with me so we bought some rice them which id call work and go to a water pump to keep the garden going so. Kind of give them a little happiness today with their shopping and all this is a huge amount of money in a country where the average wage is 65. 00 a month what they will never know is whether all of it will be used for the benefit of the children. We knew from various reports that in a number of cases a huge influx of stone of money has attracted unscrupulous Business People to open orphanages for the wrong reasons. To find out more and geo puts us in touch with conti and young chante who grew up in an orphanage. When the donors discovered that the director had been stealing the money donated for the children the orphanage was closed down. And john t. Take us to see the old home to tell us about the reality. Well since lives hidden from the eyes of volunteers. But how. Would you know. Be. Over thomas the big they can turn to. Why didnt you tell the volunteers out was going on but said i am with you. On that will get at me and. My mail paddling at least so long enough that i came out in the. Palm grove with her. Album and now it will go away when i. Come says he still suffers spouts of depression he works in 2 different restaurants for just 3. 00 a day. John t. To says he still affected he now has a regular job at the airport but not everyone from the orphanages fan so well. John t. Introduces us to china who lives on the streets. He states he was not. Putting them in our. Town but im in my book but what one can say to him but. Barely speaks to. What put in japanese. Its. Small can go back and pull a lot of fun facts. Up your path and i mean by red hat but hold up the hat i picked out but by. My family and by you. But its not just the combo. The ins in charge of orphanages who are accused of taking advantage of the money flowing into that voluntourism has become a Global Industry and with Foreign Companies tapping into the potential profits true. We need us trail now demi jackson is who has volunteered in cambodia for the past 3 years and her experiences have made a jaded about the industry that really led to a lot of our nature is there that the things that vary from behind the scenes that you would just see coming in fast time demi explains that volunteers like her book this stays in cambodia for International Commercial volunteering Companies Based outside the country and. Her 1st visit in 2009 was through projects abroad one of the largest in the world. Volunteering comes at a cost and demi surprised how little money actually goes to the local orphanage is a program my doctor once told me they get tired all the same way. Here. That you know critics of what you pay up to 3000. 00. That they get tired of that way so what are you saying its about a 100. 00 a week form you mentioned if you have 10 people say 10000. 00 do you think that sends that. Lot of money back. And i just a moment to. Think they really have. Shisha is an ngo that investigates allegations of exploitation of children in orphanages and its one of the few places where volunteers can voice their concerns here and. I know from you know im giuliana. Ehrenstein my working on a case about an orphanage called the childrens Umbrella Center organization or cuckoo brought to them by form of volunteers. So these are the email complaints that we did get from the. Volunteers really clearly stated what their concerns were. The abuse the children missing the director was openly saying that he did want to adopt the children out for a price about 10000. 00 which is which is extremely concerning for as well the doctrine is illegal in cambodia. There were allegations of physical abuse or food standards so the kids were looking hungry it was open sewage the boys were sleeping under smaller roof in the roof is leaking so this place is Getting International volunteers as ations do you know who these organizations are well suited for one word of volunteering really interested right and this is dating back to literally one pretty much one year ago. She showed took the allegations to the competent government to send in their examined in november 2011 and january 2012. Has been inspected twice by the ministry of social affairs and they found you can do some steps holding him back maybe not but that would close the gulf and its down if it doesnt stop complying with the minimum standards. To avoid devising suspicions we go in on the cover that is volunteers wearing hidden cameras. And. Well were greeted by saying that so often it just fire on the. Scene it is keen for us to start teaching straight away. And let them i mean thats one. Thing that i have never gotten any teaching. I have a. Tease. Having simply walked off the street we are now teaching an english class then there is a seemingly endless amount of playtime. Many of the children are hyperactive and will demand constant attention. Thanks to the Health History how he was kind of sticking to. That he said folks out there there is no longer. The kids of color nothing to do if you have an hour she was totally pointless. When sinnott returns he shows us the childrens rooms only half of the beds have mattresses on the 3rd look so hold it on the out ill only say i dont know what is the metal these other conditions the government inspectors asked him to improve on is that i would. Never let us out now rather than come out with that right neil like focus was a lot of goodwill ill go up because you have privately they have had to do is a lot of people who are. In the middle of the courtyard we also see the open sewer report to see sure. There are accusations that cynic uses the childrens misery to generate donations whether or not this is truth he certainly doesnt seem to make any effort to meet the governments minimum standards. Before we leave cinna tries to get money out of us again i have it was ok and you have 0 in a whole lot was carried out mary was i mean you know you and im was and i was. Ready you know sometimes i go on that all the right. Things are cuckoo up bad. But in the evening we learn that they can get even worse. Cambodia has become a target for child sex offenders and one to come investigate such cases for an n. C. O. Called acciona police on phone and. Hes deeply concerned that some volunteer placement organizations fail to ask volunteers to undergo criminal record checks this is the very highest for the movie and children who are living in the office. This guy you know hes an american guy and he came to como you threw Fried Chicken broth he would in a pretty tricked hospital shockingly this man dr James Dagostino had originally come to come both yes frugal in tearing with projects abroad and at a time here also brought 3 on the boys and one and all to leave in the buying records rented and according to the statement from the body of news the boy on multiple occasions in another case a british p a file nick griffon had opened his very own orphanage and abused boys then. Both men were found guilty and comes out in courts and sentenced to jail terms of 4 and 2 years respectively we return to cuckoo to follow up on the single most serious allegation that some of the children have gone missing from the orphanage. Stepping in to our surprise a dutchman has arrived. Im funfair with you and i am also the same thing really so i get the out of the house from your face other people who are all that are trying to say has that part. Of their success partly. They feel that wherever we turn we keep hearing about projects abroad to our amazement he tells us projects abroad never asked him for a criminal background check which he would have had to agree to under dutch law. When we go looking for direct as soon as we find him at the back in. But. We want to test how serious he is about protecting his orphans by asking him if we can remove some of the children. Then run. For everyones safety weve asked the social worker to join us we tell sinnett shes a friend and interpreter we wanted her to. This afternoon to see if we can take some of the kids to have a little toy or. A plum pen and im making up a 100 or maybe you havent. Seen it is actually getting us to choose between the children. And minutes later we leave with full of them. Never once have we been asked for identification. This is actually totally crazy ciena just allowed us to pick up 4 kids from his often actually they now can now and we could just drive off with them. We knew from seizures investigations that the children are from the north east of the country but the paperwork at the orphanage was fabricated and their birth parents could not be traced to reveal. The sad reality is that even if the government would come to the rescue of these children they could never be reunited with their families. During our time income we have heard a lot about projects abroad now it was time to find out more. Projects abroad had a turnover of over 24000000. 00 u. S. Dollars in 2010 that made over 3000000. 00 u. S. Dollars profit and paid a dividend of 1000000. 00 to the 2 directors. I asked projects abroad why they continue sending their volunteers into orphanages that are so clearly failing the children and why they are putting children at risk by not asking all the volunteers for criminal background checks the company declines an on camera interview but tells us in writing that cuckoo receives 50. 00 per month for every volunteer they say that even if the allegations against kuku were correct it would be better for the children in the orphanage to have better volunteers on the ground they also claim that since 2010 they do criminal background checks on the over thirtys and that for those younger they require a written reference from a School College unnamed referee. When we put our allegations to sin had the director of cuckoo he denied them all. Most volunteers decide on visiting cambodia with nothing but good intentions and until things improve the country and its people are said to benefit from sharing qualified skills. But most volunteers also arrive fire an increasingly commercial system and before leaving home its worth investigating who really stands to profit from their present. Cambodias often business a film which played a major part in increasing the understanding of the potential dangers of volunteerism well im very pleased to say that and were joined here in the studio by the filmmaker herself julia rufus lovely to see you giuliana you were one of the 1st people to report on this internationally how did you even come across a story like this im actually quite interested in psychology and i was attending a conference on trauma and it was a global conference and there was a psychologist sociologist from cambodia and shed been working on that issue because a lot of the children were damaged psychologically and she told me about it and i thought it was astounding that this really wasnt an issue that we. Known about it will tell us about the children he met there 1st of all we used the would they all technically what we would believe to be orphans yeah i mean that was really the 1st thing that i was interested in the vast majority of the children in these socalled orphanages actually do have parents and they there are people who go around and who effectively recruit these children they say to the parents that the children are going to get great education that theyll be in touch with lots of best westerners and the parens allow them allow these recruiters to take the children and then they get put into these again orphanages and effectively some of these orphanages are a money making machine and do the children actually get to see the benefits of any of that money or a lot of the children are really damaged theyre damaged firstly because theyre being taken away from their parents and then secondly a lot of them and you can actually see that in our film they have what is called an attachment disorder so that they continuously get attached to a new person a new volunteer plays with them show us them with affection and then leaves very quickly im trying to imagine what what you went through on that actually i know its about the children but i mean thats a thats a very emotional things ago as for where this story really got me is when we tried to take some of the children out for a day out and what we tried to demonstrate is really the complete neglect of care that it was just he was just allowed to do it this is the thing you could get him in ordinary because were good actually its a country that has a well known problem with child abuse especially paedophilia that is foreigners Foreign Tourists for socalled tourists again coming in and abusing children so the idea that we could take these children out without any supervision was quite astounding and that is really the thing that hit me i was so focused on. Will this happen can we take the kids out that when we finally said with these kids in the car it was actually quite emotional because we had this sense of the driving of with them in a car and we could have done absolutely anything to these kids and when you did take the children out of the orphanage you had a social worker with you and yeah you can actually see in the film and the social worker she was there for 2 reasons firstly to protect the children to make sure that theyre safe and comfortable and she helped translate but secondly it was also to actually protect us because we were aware that we were making what could be a very controversial film and we were worried about future allegation accusing us to have done something incorrect with the children so she was there also to make sure that we were safe in that sense and whats happened since what as far as tightening up the laws. We can talk about the government what about the actual images themselves are they still operation like this yeah they were actually quite a few responses to this so firstly on an International Level the awareness has really grown so astray i would say is as a country a leading example because they have actually made the trafficking of children into orphanages illegal theyve theyre describing it as a modern form of slavery and so thats the International Response then income budgets self the authorities have reacted to some degree theyve shut down some of the orphanages and theyve worked with International Agencies like the u. N. And and also International Organizations to close these orphanages down and and actively reunite the children from orphanages with families where possible but also and this was particularly important to me some of the companies that run voluntourism schemes have decided to abandon the sending of untrained volunteers into orphanages jillian its been fascinating talking to you really great thanks for coming in thank you for having me. Its abroad the company which you saw in that film say they no longer work in orphanages they say they now work with Community Based projects which means working with children still living at home well that is it for this edition of rewind to check us out online at aljazeera dot com for more films from the series and updates from the op is iraq live and well see you again next time.

A low iran is dismissing u. S. Accusations it was behind the drone attacks on the Worlds Largest oil Processing Plant in saudi arabia in the past our foreign minister zarif has tweeted washington is turning to what he calls maximum deceit and blaming iran wont end the disaster he says saudi aramco says fires started by the attacks knocked out 5700000. 00 barrels of daily Oil Production thats more than hoth the countrys entire output the Saudi Energy Minister says they will offset part of that though by using stockpiles saudi aramco calls the like or processing facility the largest crude stabilization plant in the world as soon as i say it can produce nearly 3 quarters of saudi arabias overall output for the or my kids havent seen a shutdown on this scale since iraq invaded kuwait back in 1990 its not clear when it will get back to full production we begin our coverage now with osama bin. Amateur videos captured the fire and smoke at saudi aramco as uptake unit was targeted by drones belonging to yemens hooty rebels with a capacity to process nearly 7000000 barrels a day a big plays a pivotal role in iraq because operations and in the oil field in her race which produces a 1000000 barrels a day also came under attack saudi arabia has been leading a coalition against the who is in the war in yemen since 2015. The rebels say they want the world to see that they have a list of targets which they can hit in the kingdom of god some. Attacks are our right and we warned the saudis that our targets will keep expanding we have the right to strike back in retaliation to the air strikes and the targeting of our civilians for the last 5 years saudi arabia accuses iran of backing the hoodies a charge denied by the rebels some believe the saudi response to the drone attacks is going to be more of whats been happening during the war in yemen this would probably help them project their what theyve been doing in yemen as something legitimate especially given the International Report about the violations and about the atrocities committed in yemen i think the saudis would continue to think that theyve been doing over the last 4 years of this bomb bomb bomb the fighters tactics have evolved in the last few years and their drone attacks have become more frequent accurate and long range as conventional air defenses struggle against multiple small drones some see aerial attacks on Oil Facilities as a possible game changer in the conflict a drone like this can be assembled from 10. 00 to 15000. 00 or explosives this provides a unique opportunity to target the military and in this case its also more concerning because you will want to target facilities that. Besides the physical damage the hoodies also seem to have time the attacks just a saudi aramco announced it is moving forward to sending a part of the state oil company the stock listing has been on again. Off again but attacks like these but not help Investor Confidence to bring in billions of dollars to diversify the sound the economy the Prime Minister dismissed dont tell me whats going on so. Maybe someone is right. About the. Saudi aramco is no ordinary company its the engine of saudi arabias economy and a source of power for its rulers its also the crown jewel of the Saudi Crown Prince is ambitious plan to diversify the economy but with seemingly expanding strike capabilities from the war in yemen this would give investors a moment to polands some of the job it was there. A dosage of bari is life 1st now in the rani and capital so goes to any more on the iranian response to this well has these sentiments that was tweeted by form a surge of azzurri for shared across the board here thats the idea that the United States is accusing iran of this attack without any evidence and its baseless the iranians feel that the war in yemen must come to an end then theyve offered over the past few months various peace negotiations take place between all the parties involved with iran being at the forefront of a dialogue between all parties but they say until they are there is an end to this war and there is some kind of dialogue this war will go on and that the ramifications are not only in yemen and saudi arabia but in the region the iranians say that that war in yemen is something that must end as soon as possible they have acknowledged their relationship with the whos the rebels they have one that is diplomatic and political but they said that theyve never supported the rebels in yemen with military aid that is something theyve denied with heatedly and this latest accusation is being seen as another attempt by the United States to try and point the finger at iran without any concrete evidence. And these accusations from the u. S. Come at a time when it appeared as if there might be. Hints of diplomacy talk about then u. S. And iranian leaders meeting at the u. N. Where do things stand with with the diplomacy from now between the 2 while there was a glimmer of hope from the United States side when the National Security adviser john bolton left his position it was a tense that this was seen as a move by the u. S. President s tryin convince iran that he is really willing to have this meeting at the United Nations General Assembly later this month but the iranian president Hassan Rouhani has said that until the sanctions that have been imposed on iran since the United States withdrew from the nuclear deal last year those sanctions need to be lifted before iran can consider coming back to the negotiating table with the u. S. But many analysts like your believe that this latest accusation comes because the United States is trying to pressure iran into these negotiations they say that its in an another move a diplomatic a political move by the u. S. Government to force iran to come to this meeting something the iranians have said will never happen the spite the continuous pressure that seems to be building against the president to hold this meeting with his american counterpart they radiance of said that this meeting will not happen until these sanctions have been left out on iran so its being seen as another step back from any kind of reproach between the 2 sides. Also thanks very much also jabari in tehran for. All Rodger Shanahan is their Research Fellow at the low institute for International Policy and a former Australian Army officer he joins us now from a man thanks very much for being with us so how does this attack i mean theres questions coming now as to how vulnerable saudi arabia is not only to attacks like this but in the region as a whole well certainly weve seen. These and in one instance is an attack launched from iraq previously that target said the robin infrastructure and because saudi arabia doesnt have a diversified economy and these infrastructure targets or Processing Plants or pipelines the static very vulnerable to attacks against those infrastructure targets and the same time those targets because there are so many of them and in terms of pipelines so difficult to defend its very difficult for the saudis to guarantee their own security over all of those infrastructure targets its certainly a strategic front ability for them and the u. S. Are accusing iran of being behind this but they havent presented any evidence to back that up what do you make of this and who may be behind this. Well the. Climb this you would think that if if there is any evidence that it wasnt who thiis that. There would be some kind of physical evidence that could be presented after the attack and after an examination of the attack site and so in the absence of any physical evidence being presented we would have to still continue with that belief that the who. Launched this attack as weve seen before their capability in this kind of attack is being increasing. Markedly over the months and the years that theyve been doing this so its entirely plausible that the that the who these have done it and until we have evidence to the contrary thats what were going to have to go with and what sort of impact is this attack going to have on the oil markets given that this is this is for now at least knock down half of saudi arabias oil output from what we see in the early markets have reacted adversely to it but thats just the short term response to it the saudis as said. As you reported that theyve got to make up the shortfall in the short term with their with their stocks. But its got to have an impact as the attacks in the in the persian gulf did about not only confidence in the market but also things like insurance premiums for in the case of the persian gulf tanker traffic it increases the costs to all of those elements in that supply chain and thats one of the one of the strategic im so of the who used to impose a great a cost on the sadies and the people that conducting operations against him good to hear your thoughts on this Rodger Shanahan thank you my pleasure.
