The attacks sparked huge fires at the abqaiq plant the Worlds LargestOil Processing facility as well as an oil field about 100 kilometres away. There are concerns that Global Oil Supplies may be affected with reports saying as much as half of saudi arabias output could be disrupted. Jon donnison has the latest. These were audacious attacks at the heart of the saudi oil industry. The abqaiq processing plant, one of the Worlds Largest, engulfed in flames after apparent drone strikes. The kingdoms second Largest Oil Field at khurais was also hit. On a houthi owned tv channel, a military spokesperson for the group said it was behind the attacks. Translation this Mission Comes as part of our legitimate and natural right to react to the crimes, of the aggression and its continuous blockade on our country for the past five years. The war between a Saudi Led Coalition and iranian backed Houthi Rebels in yemen began in 2015. Saudi air strikes have left thousands dead and left millions on the brink of starvation. In recent months, houthis have responded by increasingly targeting saudi arabias Oil Facilities with missiles and drones, but this weekends latest attack appears to be among their most successful. The kuhrais oilfield produces around 1 of the worlds oil. The abqaiq plant has the capacity to process 7 of global supply. Its not clear how extensive the damage is, but some reports say almost half of saudi arabias entire oil supply could be affected. In a statement, the American Ambassador in saudi arabia, john abizaid, said. And this weekends attacks suggest the conflict fought out in and around yemen shows no sign of ending. Jon donnison, bbc news. I spoke to robert mcnally, a former Senior Energy adviser to the bush white house. Now founder and president of Rapidan Energy group, a washington based geopolitical consultancy. I asked him why the abqaiq plant is so important. 0il plant is so important. Is the lifeblood of modern civilisation. Oil is the lifeblood of modern civilisation. Those avars who spent a lifetime analysing the oil market and working in Energy Security know that if the oil market has a beating heart, it is the stabilisation plan to. It is the most valuable piece of real estate on planet earth that nobody has ever heard of. Not only does it control about 5 of global supply, does it control about 5 of global supply, but more importantly the abqaiq controls most of what we call spare production capacity, that ability to bring extra oil if there isa ability to bring extra oil if there is a disruption. It would be possible to think of a worse thing than a successful attack on abqaiq for the oil market and Global Economic growth, but it would be very difficult to think of that thing. It is what we called the big one in the oil markets. 50 thing. It is what we called the big one in the oil markets. So we dont know the scale of the impact yet of the fires caused, but what do you think, best guess at this stage, the destruction could be . So far it appears from press reports, other indications, the damage has been like. Some reports have said they expect to restart the facility in 13 expect to restart the facility in 1 3 days, which is outstanding and good news. Where they to be sustained damage, you are looking at 5 Million Barrels a day, which seems small anyone hundred million parallel day market but it all matters on the margin and it has also bear production capacity. Howl also bear production capacity. How i would see it is, if by tomorrow evening when the asian markets open, indeed it was the case that damage was light, i would expect only a few dollars a barrel higher. There will bea dollars a barrel higher. There will be a base geopolitical risk premium put in the. But if those facilities at abqaiq, special tailor made equipment that cannot be easily or quickly replaced, if those columns are damaged or an extensive period of time, i think we will be heading back to the triple digits in oil prices. Fortunately it looks like the damage was light, and we should all hope so. The state funeral for former president Robert Mugabe has taken place in zimbabwe. At the ceremony in the National Sports stadium, African Leaders paid tribute to him as a hero of campaigns that freed many countries from colonial rule and apartheid. But the event was sparsely attended with many zimbabweans choosing not to go. 0ur correspondent anne soy has been following the days events. A state farewell for Robert Mugabe the highest honour in zimbabwe, a country he led to independence and ruled for close to four decades. Family, including his wife grace, as well as current and former leaders from more than a dozen african countries, paid their last respects. They called him a Pan Africanist and a comrade. A giant tree of africa has fallen. Indeed, the bold, steadfast and resolute revolutionary, comrade Robert Gabriel mugabe, is no more. To zimbabweans, he was a divisive figure. For many, a man to celebrate and today commemorate. But for many more, he was a man who oversaw the economic ruin of his country, which has been plagued with hyperinflation and social instability. Zimbabwe was once a prosperous country. Some called it the breadbasket of africa. But the controversial land reforms and the subsequent sanctions forced the economy into a tailspin, and even today many people are still suffering. Because of this, many chose not to attend the funeral. Take, take, take everything. So we have nothing. We are educated, but we live from day to day. Life now is a bit difficult. For me, i cant blame mugabe or what, but we have to solve the thing amongst ourselves. Robert mugabe is honoured here as the countrys founding father. He is celebrated for his progressive education policies. But for unleashing violence against his people and refusing to leave power before he was toppled, an indelible blot remains on his legacy. Anne soy, bbc news, harare. Lets take a look at some of the other stories making the news. Nearly 2,000 protesters have marched in the french city of nantes during yet another weekend of Anti Government demonstrations known as the yellow vest movement. Police had to use tear gas and High Pressure hoses to try and disperse the crowds, who had vandalised store fronts and statues during their protests against french president Emmanuel Macrons reforms and policies. Police said 35 people had been arrested and five officers were injured. Waters are starting to recede in the southeast of spain after torrential rain and mass flooding left at least six people dead.

Hamza bin laden a son of Osama Bin Laden has been killed in a us Counter Terrorism operation. Hamza who was about 30 years old was reported dead at the end ofjuly, but only now has that been confirmed by the white house. The Us State Department designated him a global terrorist two years ago and put a 1 million bounty on his head earlier this year. David willis reports from washington. The white house hasnt released details of the operation that brought about the death of hamza bin laden or its timing. There have been various reports here in recent months suggesting that he had been killed, but this is the first time President Trump has confirmed the news. The son of the man who masterminded the september 11 terrorist attacks, hamza bin laden had called for further attacks on the United States to avenge his fathers killing. And earlier this year, the Us State Department offered a 1 million reward for information leading to his capture. President trump, in a brief statement, said that as well as the symbolic connection to his father, the loss of hamza bin laden deprived alqaeda of important leadership skills and undermined the operational activities of the group. David willis, bbc news, washington. The former british Prime Minister, David Cameron, has said the current Prime MinisterBoris Johnson behaved appallingly during the Eu Referendum campaign. In an interview to mark the release of his memoirs, mr cameron also said the result of the referendum left him hugely depressed. 0ur Political Correspondent chris mason reports. Its 2015. The smiles of victory. Are you glad to have won at last . David cameron wins the election for the conservatives, in which he promised an Eu Referendum. A year later, the smiles have gone. He backed remain in the referendum and lost, and resigned. I love this country, and ifeel honoured to have served it. And i will do everything i can in future to help this great country succeed. Thank you very much. And now, for the first time since, hes talking about it. In his memoirs, the former Prime Minister says. Sir craig 0liver worked with David Cameron in downing street. Its absolutely the case that David Cameron feels a real burden, a real sense of having made mistakes in the referendum campaign, having got quite a few things wrong, and says that he failed. What he doesnt think, though, is that he shouldnt have done it. And the the reason for that is, i think he thought it was almost inevitable. Ukip were on the rise, doing extremely well. We were also in a situation where a huge number of conservative mps were rebelling all the time. The political pond, as you may well have noticed, is choppy enough as it is at the moment, and these memoirs represent another brick lopped in for good measure. But as extraordinary as our politics are at the moment, its still quite something when a former resident here accuses the current one from the same party of having a rather casual attitude towards the truth. Leaving the truth at home is the accusation mr cameron makes of how some of this governments most seniorfigures behaved as part of the leave campaign. Did you leave the truth at home, sir . Well, mr gove did leave home today but wasnt leaving us with any insight into what he makes of his old boss. Did you behave appallingly, sir . He and Boris Johnson will no doubt get other opportunities to tell us, though. Well be seeing plenty of David Cameron this week, and there are more revelations to come. Chris mason, bbc news. Stay with us on bbc world news, still to come. The case of the missing gold toilet. Police are on the hunt after the Million Dollar art piece is stolen from an london exhibition. This is bbc world news today. The latest headlines. Yemens Houthi Rebels say they carried out drone attacks on two major oilfacilities in saudi arabia, sparking huge fires. Lets stay with that story. Fatima al asrar is a non resident scholar at the middle east institute, shejoins me now from washington. Lets stay with who is claiming responsibility. The Houthi Rebels in yemen have said they carried out this attack, but mike pompeo says he is blaming around. What is your take . It was a bit suspicious when the houthis play dead. A few hours after the attack i looked on the houthis official website, they are often quick in releasing such information, they often do it before the official media news comes out with any statement. They did not do so with any statement. They did not do so this time. I was surprised. This is number one, number two is that if you look at the location, it did not seem to appear that this was within the firing range for the houthis. The military experts i spoke to said this was outside the range of what a drone attack or belittling missile can conduct. If that is the case, if iran theyd back the attack, why would they launch this attack on this site . This all has to do with the us iran escalation in tensions. The timing is of the essence. We are three days away from the United NationsGeneral Assembly meeting. Three days away. There is the proposal floating by meeting. Three days away. There is the proposalfloating by Emmanuel Macron on giving a 15 million line of credit to around two help alleviate from some of the economic hardships that it is facing. But it is all contingent on trump my response, and i think that the Iranian Regime wants to tell trump that it could reach into places in the middle east where it could hurt us economic interests at the global interests, it is within iran was my power to do so. It is not the first time that the Republican Guards have used the houthi militia to cover up for other militias, because it wouldnt be in their best interest to say that the Iraqi Militia have conducted this given that they could come into confrontation with the us troops based in the region. On that risk of confrontation, what do you think the reaction will be from saudi arabia and the us . There are only two plausible scenarios. Either a military escalation are continued pursuit of a diplomatic solution. A military escalation at this time would really further hurt both the United States and saudi arabia, because it would just not only them as really eager to respond and attack iran or its militias, but there is no appetite for wharf. People want to see this reversed, especially as it is so close to the election cycle where we see the candidates, and criticising the republicans for their stance and President Trump in his stance for cutting the deal. I think iran is taking advantage of that, and magically they can continue pursuing talks with iran, though it seems like iran has backed them into a corner where this may not be the response that trump or the pressure that trump could actually acquiesce to. Time for all the sport. What a shock theres been in the premier league newly promoted norwich city have beaten defending champions Manchester City 3 2 at carrow road. Its citys first league defeat of the season and it leaves them five points behind leaders liverpool top scorer teemu pukki got the winner, but norwich were 2 nil up afterjust 30 minutes thanks to first half goals from kenny mclean and todd cantwell, city did manage to pull two back but it was just too little, too late. Congratulations to norwich, i had a feeling that we could not do too much, i thought we would see more than today. The first goal, 3 1, second one in the attack, credit to them,. It is what it is, we learn from that and carry on. Liverpool continued their great start to the season with a 3 1win over newcastle at anfield to make it 5 wins out of 5. Theyve now got a five point lead over city at the top of the table. Sadio mane scored twice in the first half after newcastle took the lead. Mohamed salah added a third after the break. Jurgen klopps side have now won 1a league games in a row. Elsewhere in the epl, Jeff Hendrick scored a last minute equaliser for burnley at brighton. Marcus rashford got the only goal of the game as Manchester United beat leicester city. Southampton won at ten man Sheffield United while four first half goals, two from son heung min, saw spurs thrash Crystal Palace and chelsea had a convincing win at wolves. There were plenty of goals at the bernabeu in spain five in fact as real madrid just about held on to beat levante 3 2 they had been 3 0 up at half time. Off season signing eden hazard finally made his debut after his move from chelsea. And afterwards his manager Zinedine Zidane said that its his fitness not his quality thats in question at the moment. Translation what he is missing is more training. He has trained with the team early on four occasions had been either take it slowly. We all know how good he is but we have a lot of games ahead and people need to understand that we need to rest him. I dont want him to get injured again. Meanwhile barcelona are looking to turn their disappointing start to the season around. The spanish champions are 3 1 up in the second hald against valencia. Elsewhere. There were wins for villereal and real sociedad. England have batted their way into a commanding position heading into the fourth day of the fifth and final ashes test at the oval. They cant regain the famous urn but they can still draw the series with a win and that looks likely after ben stokes made 67 and joe denly 94 his best test match score in their second innings. England closed on 313 8 thats a lead of 382. Europe and the United States are tied at 8 points all heading into the final day of golfs solheim cup after strong winds brought some really challenging conditions to gleneagles. Europe took a slender lead into the morning foursomes and maintained their one point advantage when georgia hall and Celine Boutier beat Lizette Salas and ally mcdonald. So it was 6. 5 points to 5. 5 at saturdays half way point. Team usa hit back in the afternoon fourballs, though and in fading light Daniella Kang holed a putt to win the last match of the day and tie the scores, ahead of the final 12 singles matches on sunday. And thats all the sport for now. Thank you. Now what do you think are the chances of this . In america baby Christina Brown was born on the anniversary of the 9 11 attacks this week at 9 11 in the evening weighing 9 pounds 11 ounces. Her parents say shes a little miracle during such a sad time. Now, heres something you dont hear every day police here in the uk are on the hunt for a golden toilet worth around 1. 25 million. The toilet, a piece by italian artis Maurizio Cattelan was stolen from an exhibition at Blenheim Palace one of the uks biggest and grandest homes and the birthplace of former Prime Minister winston churchill. Visitors to the exhibition could book a time to use the toilet for three minutes. Officers believe a gang stole the piece using two vehicles. They said a 66 year old man has been arrested but they are yet to recover the valuable lavatory. The chief art critic of the i paper, hettiejudah, whos been to the exhibition, says the toilet even has a connection with the us president. Maurizio cattelan is not the most su btle Maurizio Cattelan is not the most subtle of artists, he is highly intelligent but this is a gold toilet called america that was originally installed at the Guggenheim Museum in new york during the Election Campaign in which donald trump was running for president. I think, donald trump was running for president. Ithink, i believe at donald trump was running for president. I think, i believe at one point that chomp white house was offered the toilet as a loan. I imagine that they hoped to get it back, but it was probably well insured, and unlike the mona lisa you can recast a toilet in gold, something that could be made again. It is not a tragedy on a grand artistic sense. Saturday turned out to be a glorious day for the most part across the greater part of england and wales, and fora time greater part of england and wales, and for a time to was sunshine to be had in part of Northern Ireland and southern and eastern parts of scotland. You did not have to go far north through the day to see the cloud filling the air. Across the far north west it had had been a filthy day. Combination of strong wind, a lot of rain associated with this weather front which through the night will tumble its way towards the borders. Dragging that bad of weakening rain, a lot of cloud down through the southern half of scotla nd through the southern half of scotland into the north of england and through Northern Ireland. It is to the north of the weather front that i have concerns into the small hours, because a major low pressure, not 1 hours, because a major low pressure, not1 million mild away from euston side of iceland, but generate 70 mild by will wind, across the Northern Ireland for a time overnight. We watch that one with some trepidation and no little interest. However that at the opposite end, clear skies, persisting into the small hours, it good be that somewhere across east anglia gets down to around five celsius to start the new day on sunday. Anywhere near this frontal system you will have a lot of cloud starting, waiting in the wings theres pulse of energy to thicken theres pulse of energy to thicken the cloud and bring more persistent rain back through Northern Ireland, southern half of scotland including the central belt, far north of england as well. It will take a time before the rain cleared the way from the star south of scotland, perhaps dragging that prospect down towards the north of wales and maybe also towards the north midlands. Keeping the sunshine in the south east, higher temperature throughout the day 25 celsius, to the north a fresher feel for sure. 13 15dc, day 25 celsius, to the north a fresherfeel for sure. 13 15dc, but the wind moderating is the major low pressure eventually moves over towards scandinavia. As we move from sunday into monday, pushing those fronts away, opening the door for as all to see fresher conditions in the northern part of the british ice on monday, becoming a little bit more extensive during tuesday. Perhaps a little more of a fresher field but what you takeaway from this synopsis is there is a lot of dry weather in the forthcoming week. Goodbye. This is bbc world news. The headlines.
