In saudi oil output, but the authorities in riyadh say they aim to reverse a third of the losses by monday. The European Union says the attacks are a real threat to security in the middle east. Iran has dismissed us allegations that it was behind the attacks. Nina nanji reports. An increasingly bitter war of words between iran and the United States over who is to blame for the attacks on the heart of saudi arabias economy. The saudis say half of their Oil Production has been knocked out after drone strikes on two oilfacilities. Houthi rebels in yemen say they were behind the attacks. But the us secretary of state dismissed this, saying there was no evidence the drones came from yemen. In a tweet, he said that tehran is behind nearly 100 attacks on saudi arabia, while irans president rouhani and foreign minister zarif pretend to engage in diplomacy. Iran immediately hit back, scathing of trump administrations methods. Foreign media reports say the attacks could have a Significant Impact on world oil prices. The strikes hit the abqaiq and khurais Oil Processing plants, run by state owned aramco one of the Worlds Biggest Oil companies. The smoke visible from space, caught by a nasa satellite. Khurais produces around 1 of the worlds oil, and abqaiq is capable of processing 7 of global supply. Even a brief or partial disruption could affect the company and the oil supply given their size. Nina nanji, bbc news. Amy jaffe is a senior fellow for energy and the environment, at the council on Foreign Relations and told us more about the significance of the Oil Facilities which were attacked. We are talking about complexes that have several types of facilities and something called a stabilisation plan that takes poisonous gases out of the oil, and then you have the Gas Processing plants that take other type of contaminants and separate the things that come out. You dont just separate the things that come out. You dontjust get there magically from the field, there are things that have to be stripped out, natural gas, other kinds of presences, so you cannot natural gas, other kinds of presences, so you cannot expire the oil that comes out of the ground without putting them through the plants. Is that why it is so important that the facility is targeted can have such a huge impact because they are absolutely vital to the whole process . This is the jugular of the Saudi Oil Industry so the question will be in the next few days, how many of these vital facilities were hit and damaged . Are they damaged beyond repair . It can ta ke they damaged beyond repair . It can take a few days to fix something or it can take months and months, so right now saudi arabia have made clear that they cannot supply some of their customers from inventory, but depending on how long the plants are down and how extensive the damage is and how many different units need to process the crude are affected, you could be very serious. The fact that the saudis had to shut down 5. 7 Million Barrels a day is an indication of how extensive the damage might be and how critical the facilities are.

The former british Prime MinisterDavid Cameron says borisjohnson only backed brexit in the Eu Referendum to further his political career. In an extract from mr camerons memoirs, he says mrjohnson didnt believe in brexit but thought it would help him become the darling of the conservative party. David cameron says leave supporters left the truth at home when they hit the campaign trail three years ago. Heres our Political Correspondent chris mason. These two used to be on the same side. Were going to do blue team. Do you want to go in goal or up front . Ill go here. But now borisjohnsons attempts to deliver brexit as Prime Minister come with a running commentary about his character from David Cameron. Mr cameron, who led the remain campaign, has some scores to settle with mrjohnson, the Leading Light of leave. His accusation in his memoirs, serialised in the sunday times, is stark. Borisjohnson backed brexit out of self interested opportunism. David cameron writes. The conclusion i am left with is that he risked an outcome he didnt believe in because it would help his political career. You could not accuse us of being anti european nor little englanders. Nor little englanders but mr cameron is accusing him of a loose affiliation with the truth and questionable motives for endorsing leave. Nonsense, say his supporters. Remain would have been the easier career choice, so borisjohnson led the campaign, he did so because he believes in brexit and he is committed to delivering it. From silly hats to high office, some of the biggest names in the leave Campaign Just so happen to be among the biggest names in the government now. And mr camerons book is a production line of put downs. On michael gove he says. This morning, michael gove was keen to keep up with the news. Hes accused you of being a faragist, of becoming a populist. How do you feel about that . But rather less keen to tell us what he made of it. The now home secretary had no such qualms, though. David cameron said he was most shocked at how she as a minister during the Referendum Campaign had been willing to rubbish her own government. Let me say something, i mean, i was a minister in David Camerons government and it was a privilege to serve in that government, and i enjoyed working with him, and many of my colleagues. Obviously, you know, the referendum has happened, weve all moved on and the fact of the matter is were now working to deliver that referendum mandate. That is so important. There is no point going over the past. Thank you. The Prime Minister before last may have left the stage three years ago, but the noisy publicity surrounding his book launch in a few days time means itll be him providing the soundtrack to the week ahead. President donald trump has defended supreme Courtjustice Brett Kavanaugh after the New York Times published new allegations about his conduct as a student at Yale University in the 1980s. Mr trump tweeted that judge kavanaugh should start suing people. The lies being told about him are unbelievable. False accusations without recrimination. When does it stop . Last year, judge kavanaugh denied accusations of Sexual Misconduct made against him by two women during his confirmation to the Supreme Court. I asked our correspondent david willis about these latest allegations. Wrecked kava naugh was wrecked kavanaugh was nominated to the Supreme Court by donald trump in july of last year and his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary committee was highly contentious and highly partisan. There were allegations from two women of Sexual Misconduct on the part of Brett Kavanaugh but an fbi enquiry later found on the part of Brett Kavanaugh but an fbi enquiry laterfound no evidence to support those claims. Now, to New York Times journalists who are about to publish a book on the whole affair has alleged that there was Sexual Misconduct on the pa rt there was Sexual Misconduct on the part of Brett Kavanaugh involving a former classmate at yale and a female classmate at yale, both of whom allege that he exposed himself in front of them and that comes on top of the allegations made at the time of his confirmation hearing last october when the professor at a California University came forward to say that she had been pinned down to say that she had been pinned down toa to say that she had been pinned down to a bed by Brett Cavanagh when he was 17 and she was 15 kavanaugh. He had attempted to stifle her cries for help. All of this has led to democrats saying that perhaps its time that Brett Kavanaughs nomination was investigated. The republicans, for their part say this is all part of an attempt to smear him. Touching on it there as you finish, but what is the sense of how this will all play out, how this will affect his position . He has been appointed for life, lewis, and its very difficult to imagine how a Supreme Courtjustice its very difficult to imagine how a Supreme Court justice could its very difficult to imagine how a Supreme Courtjustice could be anything other than dislodged from that sort of position, but there are calls now and the senator who is a democrat running for her party mike ross nomination for president has called the process that she took pa rt called the process that she took part in as a member of the Senate Judiciary committee a shower.

Polls have closed in tunisia in the countrys second free president ial elections since the 2011 arab spring uprising which toppled the authoritarian president ben ali. The planned november election was brought forward after the death of the first democratically elected president bayji kaaid essebsi. 26 candidates, including two women are running in the election in one of the worlds youngest democracies heres professor Mohamed Salah omri from the department of oriental studies at the university of oxford on why this election is so important. This election is very significant. First, its the first election in general in tunisia since 2011 and its also a president ial election in a new system for tunisia which is where parliament has a lot of power but the president has less power, yet the perception of the president ial office is still very, very significant in the minds of tunisians. Its also significant because its the first time in the countrys history that we had 20 people running for office and they represent the entire spectrum of ideology and politics in the country and also age groups and there are a lot of stakes in this and therefore it is another test for this young democracy, as you said. A test for this young democracy, but early reports suggests turnout is pretty low. The turnout is very low compared to the 2014 elections, but the number of registered voters this time is actually higher, about 2 Million People and new people registered, a lot of them young and it is may be reaching 35 or 40 , which is still low but the problem will arise if the number of young voters is actually low. One of chinas leading environmental waste experts has told the bbc that his government needs to rethink its policy of radically increasing the amount of rubbish that it wants to burn. China is aiming to incinerate up to 80 of household rubbish in some areas, using it to generate electricity. Robin brant reports from the countrys biggest city, shanghai. Lunchis lunch is done at this place, and now comes the big sort. I think we have got plastic, shellfish, but not the bones, not the shelves. Yes, its too big and hard. All of this now needs to fit into shanghais new categories for what gets thrown out from 24 Million People. Do you not think china has a big enough problem with what goes into its air that burning rubbish is not the answer . That is why we are classifying it. If we put it all together and burn it, then we had pollution to the air. The problem in this part of china is particularly acute. The local communist Party Officials talk to us about a garbage siege. Shanghais big push to get people to sort their rubbish at home is aimed at achieving a couple of things, getting them to think a lot more about consuming less, and getting them as well to think about throwing out far fewer things that cant be recycled. But there is one thing that china wants to use a lot more of, and its this. This is the biggest incinerator of rubbish in the world. This Energy Centre generates electricity by burning rubbish from this man made mountain. It is the future for china, so says the government here, but theres long been concern about poisonous emissions. And on that plan to burn more, he does not think it is the answer. Time is not something People Living the worlds near the worlds biggest incinerator so they have. A group of local men approached us. They claimed that cancer rates here are higher, and the astounding thing was, they were on duty policeman. The fact they were willing to talk to us shows how potent still chinas battle against pollution is. Lets get all the sport. Hello. There was huge drama at the end of the final day of the solheim cup at gleneagles in scotland, where europe won the last three singles matches to win back the trophy from the United States. There wasjust one point in it, our reporter Sarah Mulkerrins was there. What a day, and indeed what a solheim cup this has been for the wild card pick from norway, suzann pettersen. She was the story of this european win, nerves of steel to sink that but to regain the solheim cup trophy. Her impact has been huge on the sport of golf. After she announced she would retire from the professional game, shes 38 years old, and there was a controversy about our pick because shes not really been playing any professional goal over the last two years but she did Catriona Matthew proud. She is a nine time player in the solheim cup and she won two majors over the course of her career, so now the big question is, if shes so good as a player and can produce like that, with that but on the final green, what could she potentially do as a future captain . Away from gleneagles, england have won the fifth and final ashes test against australia at the oval to level the series at 22. England were dismissed in their second innings early on the fourth day, leaving australia chasing a target of 399. Despite matthew wades second century of the series, england completed a 135 run victory, with jack leach and stuart broad each taking four wickets. Our sports correspondentjoe wilson has the details. The final day of this ashes series as it turned out to be really did justice to the entire series because it was intense and the fortunes fluctuated between the two teams. Stuart broad again hugely influential, getting rid of australias openers and steve smith cheaply. When ben stokes took the catch, i reckon england thought they had the match, but matthew wade was the batsmen here who defied them and made a century and his battle with jofra archer in particular was as fierce as anything we have seen in the summer. Archer getting up to 95 mph at times and there were stairs between them and was between them but archie did not get matthew wade out, that fell to joe root. But archie did not get matthew wade out, that fell tojoe root. He has not had the impact on the series with his batting that he would lie but he made an impact in this match with his wickets and with his final catch to end things in the early evening. Now, is it possible that both teams end the series feeling happy . Australia retain the ashes but england levelled the series and this was the summer when they also w011 this was the summer when they also won the world cup. A final thought, these five test matches have been played in front of huge crowds and the ashes significant to the whole concept of test match critic seems as important as important and as valuable as it ever has been test match cricket. There were two matches in the English Premier League on sunday, including a thriller at bottom of the table watford. They fought back from 2 0 down at half time to draw 2 2 all with arsenal at vicarage road. Roberto pereyra rolled in a late penalty to secure watfords second point of the season in Quique Sanchez flores first match since being reappointed manager. And there were four goals at bournemouth too. They moved up to eighth in the table with Callum Wilson scoring twice in a 3 1win over everton. Thats all your sport for now. A 97 year old war veteran took to the skies in an historic spitfire fighter plane today over 70 years since he flew them during the Second World War. His flight commemorates the battle of britain when the British Royal air force turned the tide against the german luftwaffe in 1940. Kathryn stanczyszyn reports. This is how it feels to be back in a spitfire after seven decades. 97 year old george dunn is no stranger to the skies, joining the raf aged 20. A lot of the battle of britain took place over sussex and kent, so, i did see a lot of it. And i suppose, being young, and looking up there and seeing the aircraft flying around, dogfights with the germans, and i thought, well, i think ill have some of that. He carried out 44 missions during the Second World War for bomber command. When the war ended, he flew spitfires. You couldnt have any instruction on them in those days, because there wasnt a dual aircraft. So, it was a question of getting in and making the best of it. He has since helped the Raf Benevolent Fund raise tens of thousands of pounds by telling his story. This is a thank you. It was still exhilarating, to be there, flying it, knowing it was yours marvellous. The special flight also marked 79 years since the battle of britain, remembering all those who took part in that crucial campaign. Of course, george is a piece of living history himself, thats it. This was bbc world news. I dont expect any complaints about the weekend whether who spent the weekend in the south eastern quarter and a good part of scotland got to see sunshine finish of the day and so see sunshine finish of the day and so to parts of northern ireland. Its the bit in between thats been a bit ofa its the bit in between thats been a bit of a problem, given we have had a weather front, a great banner of cloud but still with enough about it to produce the odd bits and pieces of rain. Not amounting to much but miserable fair continue its journey south, filling in the gaps in the cloud that brought the sun to the south east during the day and that the blanket of cloud will keep the temperature is up but where its more broken to the north of the weather front, temperatures tumbling away. Borders, for example, three or 4 degrees as the night time minimum but we are starting with some sunshine and the north a rattle of showers. Further south across wales, the midlands and east anglia, a lot of cloud, odd bits and pieces of rainfading of cloud, odd bits and pieces of rain fading through the day and no more than 26 and 27, many locked into the mid teens. Many of those showers through the evening on monday will fade away overnight and this guide will see broken cloud and some clarity that again will allow temperatures to fall away for many of us down into single figures. For the dry aspect of the weather in the week, we have the High Pressure tank but we are not tapping into mild air and infact but we are not tapping into mild air and in fact the flow on the eastern flank came in from iceland and the arctic oceans. There is a decidedly cool feeling about proceedings on the far north east of scotland and the far north east of scotland and the warmer colours are there to the west and south of us but tuesday, pleasa nt west and south of us but tuesday, pleasant enough day and if you have outdoorjobs, this is the day for you, certainly. A fair outdoorjobs, this is the day for you, certainly. Afairamount outdoorjobs, this is the day for you, certainly. A fair amount of sunshine around but not doing that for the temperatures and im afraid you will lose the sunshine across the north west is the first sign of rain eventually gets towards the Western Isles later in the day. We moved from tuesday to wednesday in the centre of the high moves east, cutting off the flow from the north westerly is and there will be a slow process of it, but through wednesday and friday we will see the temperature is taking up by two or three degrees. Thats it. Take care. This is bbc news, the headlines. Saudi arabia says it will have to halve Oil Production after a drone attack hit two major Oil Facilities.
