Legitimacy of the venezuelan government at the organization of american states an unprecedented moment for a country that received billions of dollars of help from caracas it was a gesture of the gratified washington there are signs that the white house so long a power broker in this country may not be able to shield its ally if the street protests continue on the front should political opposition to the more you can unite. Venezuelas opposition is celebrating the release of the deputy head of the National Assembly and brown who was freed from custody on tuesday 4 months after his arrest on Treason Charges hes the former deputy who. Is recognized by many nations as venezuela is legitimate leader. Well dont look for you that are me now that have been released from prison the authorities should release about 58 other people including those 4 colleagues who are with me on the night of my capture. This was practically a kidnapping i was captured in the middle of the night by men who never identified themselves with the order for my capture and in contravention to my political rights. His release came as god or was reaffirmed as head of the opposition controlled National Assembly but there are signs of cracks appearing in the Opposition Movement president Nicolas Maduro his government is holding talks with a Minority Group of opposition parties and who is also considering sending some of his politicians back into the National Assembly which he previously called an illegal institution. But listen im on is it one ambassador in the u. K. And say she joins me now here in the studio thanks for coming in thank you for having me theres a few kind of political maneuvers going on surface with the release of zambrano what would you make of that bit of news well what were seeing in general is a lot of flailing about of a desperate regime trying to figure out how they can stay in power we welcome the release of it guys have brown no he should never have been arrested in the 1st place there is no rule of law on that as well and that is one of the things were trying to get back along with our democracy and our freedom is a rule of law its completely arbitrary he was thrown in prison without any process and then it was they didnt even say they had him now theyve just released him. And now theyre trying to use that to get us back into dialogue quite frankly its entirely unacceptable to sit back and dont and thats because im going to had said recently that talks a dead. Is now without that well i mean we have plenty of there there are plenty of options they have you know if they were to show some good faith we could some point to go back into a dialogue but this this cycle is closed its closed because the government closed that the government did not they would not allow free and Fair Elections weve published the terms under which that was the last bit of the talks which is free and Fair Elections and they wont accept that they walked away from the talks so it was really mother would go who closed out option but in the meantime havent you been as im going to be outmaneuvered if if majeure is now talking to some of the opposition you know other opposition parties and picking them off doesnt that we can you position no absolutely not there is there are there are some people there within that group that are what we call sort of fake opposition they are in fact quite a few of them who had endorsed the election that was condemned in may and there are every single one of them is receiving money and has relationship with Money Laundering of the drug cartel that is the motherhood over it that is the mother of a regime. So they are actually on the pay in the payroll of the cartel and more supporting them during may so they are not really a part of the opposition they were never part of the talks and it is and its a show they are not picking them off because they they also said they were going to form a coalition and go into the National Assembly the National Assembly met today no sign of the mother of a regime because they cannot do that if they join it then they have to recognize that everything we do is legitimate theyre in a catch 22 situation with past. A mutual defense treaty were back in which means not just military option but sanctions diplomatic actions the sanctions are strengthening their support on that point to mean what do you want from the International Community knows that theres talk of potentially more sanctions against it i mean would that help or hinder you know out actually it would absolutely help because the sanctions that are in place now still allow food and medicine it is a must do it a regime that is blocking food and medicine whatever food or medicine gets in it is from from us from our allies from patriotic honest ones and we deliver food every week and to 83. 00 different locations around the country what is what will happen now is a strengthening of Law Enforcement actions weve seen how they have used food it is now clearly mapped out to fund themselves that the starvation of the venezuelan people is part of the mechanism for just for social oppression and financing of our oppressors that they will they will close the net financially they will close the net diplomatically and you can see that they are desperate because now they cant even make Oil Production innocent iman thank you very much indeed to you very much coming to talk to thank you thank you.

Saudi arabia presents debris it says proves the attack on its own facilities was sponsored by iran but did not come from yemen. This is al jazeera live from london also coming up. Shock and grief in liberia ultra far to school kills at least 27. 00 almost all of them children. Benjamin netanyahu his political future in doubt to israel 2nd inconclusive election this year. And were not even a butterfly sentry or wildlife refuge or get in the way as president rushes to stop building his border wall. Or saudi arabia says it has undeniable evidence that iran was behind saturdays attacks on 2 of its Oil Facilities which cut its Oil Production by 50 percent at a News Conference in riyadh the Defense Ministry spokesman displayed deborah he said proved iranian involvement but yemens who the rebels who say they carried out the attack have dismissed the saudis account for the support. Fragments of drones and cruise missiles this was the evidence the saudis said to duran was behind saturdays attack on the iran kokoity facilities in this attack did not order needs from yemen. Despite the on this front to make it so their collaboration with their proxy anybody engine to create this false narrative is clear secondly that that was a lie from below and was unquestionably response sort of beit jala this attack. Was not a game this big pink of soviet soviet article also get aid yeah. It was an arsehole. Community. But the Defense Ministry briefing in riyadh also left many questions for the foreign media where exactly were the attacks launched from and how did saudi arabias sophisticated air Defense System not spot the missiles leaving Critical Infrastructure unguarded some defense analysts were skeptical the attacks were launched from iran the satellite images appear to show that some of the strikes came from the northwest this becomes an increasingly more likely scenario that most of these flying devices were. Launched from the area area between. Iraq and iran were i dont think is likely is that the iranians were launching a from their own. And using always in their own devices because there is something that can be traced. And investigation will eventually show where or where the launch was moments after the saudi briefing the rebels held a News Conference of their own in sanaa dismissing the saudi question of events claiming responsibility for the strikes the who the spokesman stressed that the damage from the attack was extensive and gave this warning to saudi arabias close ally the u. A. E. Saudi arabia and the United Arab Emirates will regret this if our leadership issues orders to the armed forces to launch an attack in the coming days or months on the u. A. E. They will seriously regret this we have tens of targets within the pie in abu dhabi that can be hit at any time on. The who say theyve developed new weapons that can now reach targets far beyond their borders but theyre calling on the Saudi Led Coalition to stop its bombing in yemen or face further attacks alecs the topless aljazeera and visor to irans president was also quick to tweet a response saying saudi arabia proved quote it knows nothing about something in tehran has more. Iran were very much see the saudi press conference as an attempt to Garner International support and opposition against iran from the outset the saudis spoke in english questions were taken from English Speaking journalists and the saudi language was very much that this was an attack by the iranians on civilian infrastructure and that iran was putting civilian lives at risk but when the sides were pushed to the north sides with those missiles and drones were going from the saudis were unable to definitively state that it came from iran they only said that it was from north and did not originate from yemen but the rain in narrative has been that this is a hutu rebel attack against saudi arabia saudi arabia have been bombing yemen and this is a rebel group thats carried out attacks against saudi arabia now iran will say that this is an embarrassment to saudi arabia the billions of hundreds of billions of dollars of arms mainly from the United States and they were unable to stop this attack but so far saudi arabia has blamed iran but hasnt been able to really point the finger and say this is where the missiles and drones were going from iran will say that the hutus are allies of this and even if it is proven that the weapons are in rain and it doesnt mean iran was behind the attack but iran has warned that any attack against iran by the United States would meet and a major response and not only an Immediate Response to said that they will not only respond to the source of the attack meaning that any countries in the region that host United States assets or bases may also be targeted. The u. N. Has sent officials to saudi arabia to investigate the attacks secretary general antonio terrorists confirmed the deployment warning a major confrontation in the gulf would have devastating consequences for the world our diplomatic editor james bass has more. It was only on monday that saudi arabia asked the u. N. To send experts theyve moved very fast but theyre already on their way according to the secretary general in line with the resolution 22. 00 city word of the Security Council with a clear amended for that purpose the u. N. Experts. Indicated by the department of political and the Peace Building Affairs of already left for saudi arabia and obviously they will be doing their job according to the men that that this is good because he has given them i strongly condemn these attacks i think these attacks is the magic escalations in the gulf and i believe that we absolutely need to stop this kind of escalation in just a few days time World Leaders gather here at un headquarters for the Un General Assembly the issue of iran and the u. S. Tensions and the attack on saudi arabia is rightly top of the agenda in his News Conference the secretary general was asked about comments by the u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei o who said that the attack in saudi was an act of war and secretary general said it certainly wasnt an act of peace these words are important not just sound bites and thats because of the u. N. Charter it says in article 51. 00 that a country can use the right of selfdefense if it comes under attack. Meanwhile u. S. Or state might pompei or has arrived in saudi arabia he met Saudi Crown Prince mohammed bin so not in jeddah to share intelligence on the attacks ahead of that meeting President Donald Trump announced a further escalation of u. S. Sanctions on iran. I did well be hearing some very significant sanctions dont do a read and what were hearing well be announcing it over the next 48 hours where there are many options as you know well there are many options and theres the ultimate up here and there are a lot less than that and well see where the very powerful position right now were in a very very powerful position. Standing next to trump as he made that statement was his new National Security adviser Robert Obrian has been announced as the replacement for john bolton who left the post 8 days ago obrien served as the president s special envoy for Hostage Affairs at the state Department Says 2018 is the 4th National Security adviser since Trump Took Office i chanced.

And an outpouring of grief as hundreds gathered at a school near the capital monrovia the base started around midnight and tore through a dormitory where students were sleeping before to send electrical problem is to blame the investigations are continuing president george where has this to the scene and offered his condolences to the victims families. Who. Are with. Israels 2nd election this year has failed to produce a clear winner again leaving a question mark over who will become Prime Minister weeks of Coalition Talks are likely before a new government can be formed with more than 90 percent of votes counted the center left blue and white party led by benny gantz has 32 seats or Benjamin Netanyahu is likud party is just behind on 31 if you know his bloc looks set to control 55. 00 of parliaments 120. 00 seats while dance and his Natural Partners would have 5661. 00 seats are required to secure a majority in Parliament Former defense minister Avigdor Lieberman boxset to be the kingmaker hes calling for a unity government comprised of his israel party it could and blue and white but dancers ruled out joining in the ministration with netanyahu as likud leader ari force reports from west jerusalem. Benjamin netanyahu might be down but hes not out not yet before a meeting with senior members of his the could party he said hed agreed to form a bloc of right wing and ultra orthodox religious parties along with likud as a basis for a new government under his leadership look there are one or 2 options either a government headed by me or a dangerous government thats leaning on the arab parties at this moment more than any other and in the face of the security and political challenges that are on ahead its forbidden that a government will be formed that is leaning on the and he zionist arab parties the bloc in question would give him 55 seats in the Israeli Parliament or knesset still 6 short of the 61 needed to form a Majority Coalition its a rebuke to netanyahu ally Avigdor Lieberman whos insisted that his party tend to likud and the opposition blue and white combined to form a secular unity government yes sure conclusion is clear all that we have said during the Election Campaign is coming true theres only one option a National Unity government a liberal broad government we will not join any other option. But if netanyahu is refusing as he clearly is now to join that option where does he get the 6 seats he needs for a government i mean operettas left wing Labor Alliance temptingly has just that number but he refused again on wednesday to sit with Netanyahu Benny Gantz has said his blue and White Alliance with 32. 00 seats will Stay Together and his secularist partner pede would be unlikely to serve with netanyahu ultraorthodox allies will they with him the fears might go well we will wait another day or 2 and wish the people of israel a good and necessary unity government that the system will calm down a little bit and we will move along. Dances own prospects could be improved if a mainly palestinian israeli joint list now the 3rd Biggest Party in the knesset recommends him for Prime Minister it could even be a step on the road to what its leader im an order says he wants to head the official opposition netanyahu postelection play is certainly no time to carry on making the political weather but in a sign that this is a crisis for a man who in just 2 weeks
