Alice go to the us where officials are saying they have identified the exact locations in around from which they believe an attack on Saudi Oil Facilities was lodged on saturday. The broadcaster cps is more than 20 drones and cruise missiles were fired, they insist the projectjust came from rebels in yemen. The us are keeping a very close eye on the pressure on iran. Administration officials claiming to have pinpointed the locations in southern iran, from which they believe drones and cruise missiles used in saturdays attack on Saudi Arabian Oil Facilities were launched. Now given that the satellite Images Released over the weekend appeared to have shown the maximum damage on at least one of these Oil Installations being at the north and the west of that installation, that would seem to contradict suggestions by Houthi Rebels in yemen that they were behind the attacks. And the fact that Saudi Arabian Missile Defence systems also failed to intercept these weapons as the Administration Officials are pointing out, says they are facing south because they anticipated such an attack would come from yemen. Thats why they didnt pick up these attacks. They also say that the Houthi Rebels maintained that ten drones were used in these attacks yet they have counted least i7 strikes on one of these installations alone. All of which belies, they say, the suggestion that the Houthi Rebels were to blame. Iran, for its part continues to maintain that it had nothing to do with these attacks. Pitman fas, chief executive of the business consultancy, communal, you work in the middle east, saudi arabia, you work for the oil industry, the ep, the oil industry isa industry, the ep, the oil industry is a specialist of yours, what has happened .

They say they will haveit will have oil. They say they will have it fully restored by the end of september and then by the end of november there will be able to go to 12 Million Barrels a day. They have not missed a trick, they have reserves stocked, stocks all over the world, so they can from those emergency stocks take in they can keep clients happy. Keeping clients happy, the price will come down quite a significant amount, from the 20 , a knee jerk reaction is expected. Thats how markets work, but what about looking ahead . How vulnerable . What other Oil Facilities in the middle east . That is the question on what is a risk premium have to be because up to now, everybody forgot about the risk premium because it is nice and sta ble premium because it is nice and stable but it is in that too reason to track region of the middle east and that has hit home. So there will bea and that has hit home. So there will be a risk premium only,. The price of oil will be higher . Be a risk premium only,. The price of oilwill be higher .

You can see all the smoke covering the area but actually based on what locals say to me, they had worse before. But as you can see, you can see what is behind me, it is pretty thick, the haze and the visibility is only 500 metres so you have to be very careful when driving when you are biking because that is the main transportation here. Aside from that you can still smell very distant smell of smoke as if someone has just set some dry leaves and fire around you, the government has actually advised the locals do not go out of their houses without Wearing Masks but actually interestingly, most of the locals chose not to wear masks because they think that its ok and some of them actually feel like its a part of their daily activities, daily routines because of the length of this massive haze, that has been happening for the last two months and the government so far has done several steps to put up a fire in the forest is on the peatlands, they admit its a tough job to extinguish all these lands and the forest.

No one really knows, we dont yet but actually based on what pc from the previous case in 2015, and in 1997, it will last until the dry season ends and it will naturally, it will ends and it will naturally, it will end probably in november, early november or at the end of october but the locals are praying for the rain to arrive because they believe that the rain is the ultimate cure for the hayes and the fires that are happening across borneo and sumatra. But if it continues without long, at the local facilities got the resources to treat people and help those who are in need . Thats another problem. The hospitals here of course they try to treat as many as possible, they take in as much patience as they can because report of the tens of thousands of people have been rushed to hospital due to illnesses that they suffer from the haze they breathe, most of them are acute respiratory infections and actually some of the hospitals have set up some oxygen houses for those locals who want to get some fresh airto get locals who want to get some fresh air to get some pure oxygen, not the government oxide, Carbon Dioxide that they get from the air around them.

Early signs suggest there is no clear winner in israels general election. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu general election. Prime minister Benjamin Neta nyahu says general election. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he will now hold talks on forming a coalition. His main rival has called for a broad unity government. Lets discuss that further, the inconclusive israeli elections, and what is most likely to happen, if anyone can answer that question at this point, lets talk to richard, a political analyst based injerusalem and director of the Britain Israel Communications and research centre. Thank you for being on the programme. So israel are used to coalitions, but this situation seems to be more precarious. Talk us through the possibilities. Right, yes, good morning. A fascinating morning israelis are waking up to here. As you know, the background of the unprecedented second election after the april election, because of the stalemate, and at the moment it was looking like a stalemate again. We should caution that we are still talking about just we should caution that we are still talking aboutjust over 90 of the vote counted, so there are real results to talk about but nothing as yet final, so everything has that caveat. But at the moment it looks like the two big parties, the likud party of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu party of Prime Minister Benjamin Neta nyahu with 32 party of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with 32 seats, tied with blue and white, also with 32 seats, and the game is to reach the golden number of 61 to form a coalition. Looking at the left wing block on the right wing block, as it stands, neither of them has the right numbers to be able to reach that majority with what looks like the kingmaker, victor lieberman, formerly of the centre right, running on a very formerly of the centre right, running on a very right wing, liberal, secular ticket, they would say, who could be the kingmaker to decide. He made the most interesting speech during the night when he talked about insisting on forming a National Unity government with the two big parties. So what do you think is the most likely outcome and to what degree will let bring some political stability in israel . So political stability in israel . So political stability in israel . So political stability and the ability to govern other key issues that a lot of people are concerned about. What we now have in terms of formal procedure is that we will wait until we have the overseas ballots and the ballots of the soldiers that come through tomorrow morning to then com plete through tomorrow morning to then complete the picture after the counting is finished today. And then the president will formally start a process of consultations with all of the parties, starting on sunday or monday. In parallel, what Avigdor Lieberman is suggesting is that the president on an informal track brings together the leaders of the likud and blue and white and to see if they can understand and form a formal unity government. And the formal unity government. And the formal process once someone has been us formal process once someone has been us to form a government, they will have 28 days to do so. So the picture will not become clear, i think, for several weeks ahead. Richard, thank you forjoining us live from jerusalem with analysis of how those elections are panning out.

Lets bring you up to date on the latest sports stories. Hello, im Chetan Pathak with wednesdays sport briefing. Lionel messi returned from injury for barcelona, but there were still no goals in their Opening Champions League group game at borussia dortmund, whilst the holders, liverpool, lost for the second consecutive season at napoli. Dries mertens scored from the penalty spot with eight minutes to go, before Fernando Llorente made it 2 0 in stoppage time. Iam i am pretty sure there are different views on that situation, but when the player jumps before views on that situation, but when the playerjumps before there is contact, then it cannot be a penalty. But we cannot change that anymore, so thats how it is, and now we carry on. One of the other stories from the Opening Night of matches was this teenager, erling braut haaland, who at 19 years and 58 days old became the third youngest player to score a Champions League hat trick in rb salzburgs 6 2 win over genk.

They play paris st germain on wednesday. But the french champions will have to cope without neymar, who is suspended, and there is also no Kylian Mbappe or edinson cavani. Meanwhile, manchester city, the favourites to win the Champions League, travel to ukraine to face familiar foes shakhtar donetsk. They were in the same group last season, and Pep Guardiola knows it will be a tough trip. Its a short competition, it is six games, and you have to be careful.
