Vote in a 2nd general election in less than 6 months. And General Motors strike close to 50000. 00 employees stop work at americas biggest carmaker. Now u. S. President says its looking like that iran was behind saturdays attacks that crippled more than haul off of saudi arabias Oil Production but he says he doesnt want a war and will wait to see definitive proof of tehran involvement before deciding how to respond now americas close ally the u. K. Says it will work with International Partners to prepare quote the widest and most Effective Response saudi arabia has reiterated the attacks were carried out using iranian weapons but tehran maintains its not responsible yemens through the rebels say they were behind the attacks and it warns that more strikes are coming well gablers on day begins our coverage from washington d. C. President donald trump says the u. S. Is still collecting and analyzing intelligence related to saturdays attack on Saudi Oil Facilities but says all evidence gathered dust far points to one country when asked if that country was iran this was the president s response which looking that way will have some pretty good. We have a some very strong studies done but its certainly looking that way at this moment and. Will let you know the spectrum said he does not want war with iran but said his administration would coordinate closely with riyadh and in response to the saudis want very much for us to protect them but i say well we have to work there was an attack on saudi arabia and there was an attack on us but we would certainly help them but despite the alliance between washington and riyadh there are doubts about how much clout saudi arabia has to force the u. S. Into military action this has been very thirsty the past few months. On many issues so the trouble mistress and the u. S. Has looked willing to basically fight a war we have the sultans the hooty rebels in yemen backed by iran claimed responsibility for the attacks on monday irans president Hassan Rouhani flatly rejected the u. S. Ascertain tehran was involved saying the who these were behind it and for legitimate reasons. The many people are exercising their legitimate right of selfdefense the attacks are reciprocal and the main solution is to halt these attacks the solution for the yemeni crisis is also political we believe that. President trump said it was a large attack against saudi arabia but could be met with an attack many times larger this is threatening language trump has used in the past against syria north korea and even iran without following through with significant military action but clearly tensions are escalating trump said secretary of state mike pompei o. And other Administration Officials would be traveling to riyadh soon to coordinate a response. Aljazeera washington. Correspondent has the view from tehran. Latest reaction to this event sort of unfolded is that the Iranian ForeignMinistry Spokesperson outpost mousavi has reiterated the countrys position and that is that these accusations are baseless and its not the 1st time that iran has received such accusations from the u. S. Government the Foreign Ministry spokesperson up us mousavi said that the yemeni people have the right to the found themselves in the news or not supplying weapons to the who see fighters there but that it is saudi arabia who is the aggressor and iran will continue to push for some kind of a peaceful resolution in yemen theyve offered in the past to negotiate dialogue between all the parties involved theyve stressed that the situation is yemen is critical to the stability of this region but when it comes to the blame that they are being accused of launching these attacks the iranians say that they have had nothing to do with it and that the accusations are baseless they have yet to the American Government has yet to provide any kind of solid evidence or proof that iran was behind such an attack the analysts that weve spoken to here say that these latest accusations from the u. S. Come at a time when the u. S. President donald trump is eager to have a meeting with irans president Hassan Rouhani at the United Nations later this month when the 2 will be there but the reins of said that that will never happen until the United States lifts the sanctions that its imposed on iran since they withdrew from the nuclear deal well iraq says the u. S. Thinks its confident the attacks didnt come from its territory and u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei a cold Prime Minister. On the sunday morning shows stratford has more from baghdad. The Iraqi Prime Ministers Office has released a statement regarding details of a phone conversation that was had between the u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei oh and the Prime Minister here saying that the u. S. Secretary of state confirmed information that the Iraqi Government have that iraqi territory was not used to launch these attacks the statement went on to say that iraq sort itself as having a vital role in trying to diffuse this crisis its fair to say though that this tension has escalated in recent months between the u. S. And iran a lot of attention has been paid towards certain very powerful armed groups in this country that are backed by iran that support iran here the socalled Popular Mobilization forces that were set up in 2014 to fight i saw were integrated into the Iraqi Security forces in 2016 and theres been as i say a lot of questions as to how they would respond to any kind of potential military escalation by the u. S. Against iran or iranian interests now there has been no official statement by the Popular Mobilisation forces in relation to this Current Crisis the Iraqi Government is very keen to stress that iraq is very much doing all it can to diffuse this crisis but of course this major u. S. Ally iraq its biggest regional ally is iran iran has a huge role here politically economically and militarily and as this crisis goes forward and seems to escalate it just highlights just how difficult the situation is for the Iraqi Government. Well exactly how long it will take to fix damage the Worlds LargestProcessing Plant is yet to be revealed but the Reuters News Agency is reporting that it could take months for saudi Oil Production to return to normal and already riyadhs been forced to shut down one pipeline to bahrain the uncertainty has caused a surge in the price of oil spiking by 19 percent the biggest single day increase on record when monday trading began and its still trading over 12 percent higher than its price before the attacks happened and all this could dampen Investor Confidence in saudi aramco his upcoming public listing which the kingdom hoped would generate up to 100000000000 dollars and there are now reports that the saudi authorities are considering delaying that i. P. O. Well for more on this lets speak to Bob Cavanaugh who joins us now live from Houston Texas hes an oil and gas Industry Expert mr cavanaugh youve been involved in this industry for more than 30 years did you ever think that Something Like this was possible or you always worry about something catastrophic happening to the middle east oil supply you never contemplated just a few drones being able to knock off odd 1000000 barrels of production which is about half of saudi arabia is that does it just exposes the industry or shows how its exposed to risk like terrorist attacks that we saw on saturday absolutely well lets take a look at some of those satellite pictures of the damage from those attacks id like you to talk us through what you see there and just how long you think it might take to get operations theyre back online. You know the interesting thing that i saw today in the satellite photographs that were that were disclosed was the perception of the attacks the vessels that were hit were hit precisely in the same place in a line these are in the quad truck quad copter drones that someone bought from amazon these are precision military weapons that were used to hit these facilities and they were hit in the precise area that would knock off about 50 percent of their production so its surprising that the attack by drones that were undetected could do this kind of damage but im very concerned about how long its going to take to get the production back on aramco announced today that it could be they went for weeks talking about possibly months before the production was brought back on saudi has a Strategic Reserve you do us has a Strategic Reserve but if this goes on for more than 3 or 4 weeks i could see a sustained level of a Higher Oil Prices for quite some time until norm the production in saudi arabia is normalized well let me ask you a little more about that because weve been seeing so much market volatility and given the reserves that would that youve just mentioned and coupled with the opec decision to cut Oil Production recently how does all of that come together is there a concern that there may be ongoing volatility for coming months. I think absolutely the thing about crude demand is its relatively inelastic which means it doesnt move a whole lot there is some fuel switching between crude and natural gas when put in some and when users can do that but when youve got such inelastic demand as you have in the world crude consumption which is about 90 to 95000000 barrels a day when you knock 5000000 barrels a day off suddenly this way this this causes an elevation in price because of the end of inelasticity of the demand it causes quite a bit of volatility as different markets compete for that crude because its the that last barrel of oil is worth so much more for. Industries and countries who need it to supply their energy needs mr Cavanaugh Bob Kavanagh that an oil and gas Industry Expert speaking to us from houston in texas thank you for joining us on out of there great to be with you thank you well the attacks have often been discussed at the United Nations where the u. N. Envoy for yemen is giving a shadow of briefing and out to fanatic at editor james bays reports. Normally this monthly meeting deals with the grim reality of life inside yemen but it was overtaken by events on the other side of the saudi border one thing we can be certain and that is this extremely serious incident like the tribal sins of a region or conflict that much higher and more that much. With yemen in some way or other linked none of that. Is good for you. And this is pretty terrifying in just her 2nd appearance in the Security Council the new u. S. Ambassador made it clear washington believes these didnt stage this attack on their own claims of responsibility have been made but as secretary of state mike comp aoe has clearly stated there is no evidence that the attacks came from yemen. Emerging information indicates that responsibility lies with iran although the u. S. Is still party to the nuclear deal with iran did not apportion blame at the moment were still assessing what happened and who is responsible for the Attorney Says once this is been step least we will discuss with our partners how to proceed in a responsible manner we hope the United International response to these all from the turks in recent days there have been talk when World Leaders gather here for the Un General Assembly next week of a meeting between President Trump and president rouhani now the specter of war things could go either way expect a week of fast moving developments and roller coaster diplomacy jamesburg 0 at the United Nations home theres plenty more ahead for you this news hour including hoping to find a solution to syrias war leaders of Turkey Russia and iran the nation and korea in search of a political settlement.

In about 2 hours from now the polls will open in israel 2nd general election in just over 5 months Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu is trying to rally right voters after failing to win over george a majority and april he says he will an x. All settlements in the occupied west bank but as harry for supports those pledges may not be enough to get an outright majority. Benjamin netanyahu had rarely if ever looked publicly angrier than he did on the 30th of may this year defeated in his effort to form a Coalition Government he rented anyone else from being given that chance by forcing through an unprecedented election rewrote its unbelievable other door lieberman is now part of the left the sense of betrayal was at his former political fixer former foreign and defense minister ally and enemy for more than 20 years Avigdor Lieberman liebermans professed reason for keeping his secular Rightwing Party out of government with his opposition to Ultra Orthodox Jews being exempted from military service something that in yahoos ultra orthodox Political Partners would not concede. Nurit kadar spent 5 years following lieberman for a documentary released this week finding him a highly guarded interviewee but he says it was clear that whatever the ideological differences between him and netanyahu that divorce was deeply personal the only thing the only sentence. He said that friendship is something its for life. You know it is some foundation that it really go through all life. And it was broken and it was shattered and you know what human hasnt explicitly ruled out joining a netanyahu led government this time around but his policy demands make it unlikely at best and with his secular stance boosting his position in the polls his status as kingmaker has been strengthened. The last week talking in terms familiar from previous campaigns of threats and promises the threat of Irans Nuclear program the threat requiring police of polling stations of palestinian israeli voter fraud the promise to annex the Jordan Valley and parts of the occupied city of hebron all of it designed to motivate his right wing base. But netanyahu reelection offers a better chance to fight off 3 looming Corruption Cases the parliament will knesset could even vote to grant him immunity but the polls suggest there could be a similar outcome to last time with netanyahu is likud Party Running almost even with the opposition blue and white led by former army chief benny gantz as a good chance neither will have enough support from smaller parties to piece together a Majority Coalition some predict months more uncertainty while each side tries and fails to form a government increasing the pressure on netanyahu is an indictment is expected to happen in the 1st half of the summer that would be during the 2nd period of 6 weeks in which a candidate would be given a chance to form a government and if that indictment happens then the leak could well then realize ok we dont like overthrowing leaders but now we have no choice israel 2nd election in 5 months is unlikely to be the finish line in the contest to govern the country rather the starting gun for the next round in a fight hurry for said aljazeera west jerusalem. Its have been counted in chinas is president ial election and it looks like too political outside is in the lead the official result isnt expected until cheers day but it seems like a close race between you know professor and jailed media mogul. The winning candidate will need more than 50 percent of the voters from chinas here Stephanie Decker with more on the candidates who are in the lead so who are these 2 men will criseyde is a constitutional law professor he was unknown really here in tunisia until after the 2011 revolution when he started coming on Television Shows breaking down the legalities of the constitution because of course there was a new constitution drafted here in 2014 he speaks classical arabic many people here are jokingly calling him a robot because he is so specific and so citing the law when he speaks i spoke to one man who voted for him this morning also king why he said because hes a clean man hes an honest man and he loves his country and we voted for the all the others and look where it got us now the other top runner and of your family he is behind bars hes facing charges of Money Laundering and tax evasion hes someone who is far more involved in the political establishment here a Founding Member of the main to his party split with that recently is a media mogul hes used to Television Channels to show him and his chargeable work really focusing on the poor but his future is uncertain when it comes to the legalities of how he goes forward even yesterday the Electoral Commission saying that if a court rules him not to be allowed to go to this runoff in the 3rd counted it will go ahead so everything is still up in the air here but certainly the message from the people is this they have moved away from the traditional Political Parties here going for 2 men who have really run on the agenda of independence of new change whether theyll be able to deliver that were going to have to wait and see. Turkish president. Says theres been progress towards a political solution to the war in syria now hes been hosting his russian and iranian counterparts in ankara for talks focusing on that thats the last rebel held province home to many people who have been displaced from other former opposition areas and its under attack from Syrian Government forces and russian warplanes. We have refugees amassed on our borders and we can sit and watch this such a Dangerous Development will affect not only our country but also europe we need to continue our responsibilities and we have decided there is a need to establish safe areas support our troops. Our correspondent. Reports from that summit and cora. A real emphasis on the policies pursued by turkey iran and russia underlined by the Opening Statements of the respective president s in this 5th round of trilateral summit thats trying to find some sort of a solution to the almost 9 years now war long war in syria the turkish president focusing on his countrys main new truth namely that of the Syrian Refugees almost 3000000 votes have been living in turkey now for several years on the need to establish a buffer zone or a safe zone on the syrian side of the border up until the east of the your phrases river inside syria if we could maybe divide the issues that are being discussed here in this summit into 3 categories short term medium term and long term short term the most immediate issue that the 3 leaders are talking about is the issue of it live the last remaining stand for armed opposition groups opposition groups to the regime of bashar assad turkey wants to ensure that there is a total halt to russian and syrian air strikes on attacks on this issue not only to ensure the safety of the people there now and that they dont leave and to try to keep but also to establish that saves on that i mentioned so that syrians in turkey can actually start moving back and that brings us to the last point which is the longer term issues and that is what will happen post conflict how will syria be governed and here in the summits we understand that there will be a discussion about the formation of a Constitutional Committee to draft the document starts with help post war syria be governed but it is difficult to see how an agreement would be reached considering how much blood has been spilt in this war well earlier we spoke to Joshua Landis he is the director of the center for middle east studies at the university of oklahoma and he says its unlikely that syrian president bashar assad will bring about any meaningful political change to end the war. There is not a lot of progress but in the 3 have to get together and constantly manage the situation which is quite explosive because there is an offensive led by the Syrian Government in invalid province which could drive hundreds of thousands if not millions of refugees into turkey turkey is also at daggers drawn with the United States over the question of currencies in in eastern your freddys region and so all of those different interests have to be managed and each side wants to use this conference as a way to underline its interests its needs and to tell america in a sense that they need to leave the area its quite clear that that Bashar Al Assad is not having much of this hes not going to change the constitution in any substantial way he believes hes won the war russia does to just you know the day the russians were saying the war is essentially over we just have to worry about these 2 different pockets that one had left the one where the kurds are and in the east of the euphrates and so its hard to see that this constitutional process has really got legs but they all like to talk about it. Well britains Prime Minister has been burned by crowds after holding back the talks in luxemburg that frosty reception forcing Boris Johnson to abandon a joint News Conference with the luxembourg leader at ash about that has more.

A crowd of anti briggs it protesters chanted in buda as he went left alone at the podium exactly a battle was physically frustrated it made johnson to discuss breaks it but said the british leader had offered nothing to convince him and other e. U. Leaders to reopen the Withdrawal Agreement for me and i just have to go on with strong agreement on the table and its torn from the last 2 there are no changes there are no concrete proposals for the moment on the table and i wont even agreement to ideas. We need written proposals and the time is ticking so she stop speaking but act johnson said it left because of a noisy protest he disagreed with a battle that no progress had been made on briggs it i think weve got just the right amount of time to do it you know and simply to take that as i never tire of tell you if we cool dude you know the obvious we wont worry about it because then well make sure that we come out on the 31st of october do you before his talks with exactly a battle Boris Johnson had met the head of the European Commission trunk road your car for a working lunch but it seems that that meeting didnt go very well either after the 2 hour lunch in a restaurant the European Commission released.

Demonstrators had gathered many of us lived here for many years but we are still deeply concerned by what is currently happening here and what potential in me a new deal exit from the e. U. Will mean for the country ranks it is a disaster it will be a disaster for Great Britain and its also not the joy that i tell you as a whole the 2 sides did agree to continue and intensify talks because said that europe never loses patience but the days events suggest that the use good will be running out.

Does it have the money and is edging an end to what it calls an illegal walkout and or chapell reports from the capital. Its the start of the day at this Primary School in amman and like other Public Schools in jordan the teachers are present but the students are not. Instead of holding lessons teachers are passing time by repairing what they can desks windows and other parts of the building that show years of wear and a lack of investment they too feel neglected and are refusing to do their job until they get a pay rise. With the school year to begin weve got a very optimistic event to what was supposed to be a peaceful protest to express our needs but then the government suddenly escalate to this situation and i thought das.

And in the senate of the senate the home im definitely supporting the teaches and they have rights to get their demands and the government should respond to what theyre asking for in my opinion i dont think theyre asking for too much on the contrary the increase theyre asking for doesnt even cover Living Expenses these days those opposed to the strike worry their children will get behind in their studies the government says it cant afford to meet the teachers demands and wants them to return to the classrooms talks between government leaders and the Teachers Association are stalled for the time being so students will remain absent from class across the country it appears that the teachers have the public on their side for now at least the grievances over low pay and the rising cost of living are resonating with other jordanians who are also struggling to make ends meet and are schapelle aljazeera among.
