And its not president ial elections this could be the 1st transition of power from freely elected leader to a freely elected leader in the country where the arab spring began. An International Artist celebrate the intrepid german explorer alexandre from home boat on what would have been his 250 s. Starts a. Load. Time irish waiter welcome to the program. Western nations have condemned an attack on saudi arabias Oil Infrastructure they ratcheted up the rhetoric after drone attacks on the kingdoms largest oil plants slash the worlds daily supply of oil by 5 percent while hooty rebels from yemen have claimed responsibility the us has blamed iran for the attack raising tensions yet again between washington and tehran. One of the globes most crucial commodities going up in smoke the result of twin drone strikes at the heart of saudi arabias oil industry state media say the fires that erupted after saturdays attacks were quickly brought under control but Officials Say that production at the apple cake Oil Processing facility the largest in the world and the cories oil field the country 2nd biggest has been temporarily suspended there are fears of how this might affect World Markets with saudi arabia responsible for about a 10th of the worlds oil output the strikes of effectively cut 5 percent of Global Supply overnight for over 4 years now riyadh has been involved in a proxy war with iran in yemen the countries who the rebels who are backed by tehran have claimed responsibility for these attacks and found more. Promise the saudi regime that are coming operations will only grow wider and will be more painful than before so long as their aggression and blockade continues oh Good Washington is pointing the finger at iran u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei o said on twitter that there was no evidence the attacks had come from yemen is a rainy and counterpart tweeted back dismissing u. S. Claims that tehran was involved in strengths details about the weapons used and the damage caused remain sketchy. For more on this lets bring in our. Middle east analyst based in the soft thank you so much for joining us could the rebels in yemen have claimed responsibility for these attacks that the u. S. Is accusing iran of being behind these drone strikes tehran is denying its involved why is the u. S. Accusing iran of this. Well in fact. Politically i guess its a its expedient to believe iran for this with the maximum pressure complain that the u. S. Is driving against iran with this with the allegation at its core that irans destabilizing the region and the u. S. Ally has been attacked saudi arabia has been attacked sold this is the rhetoric from washington its not really surprising. What the rebels have threatened more attacks to come how do you think saudi arabia is going to respond to this. This is great to be interesting to see because the there had been attacks on the infrastructure in times of saudi arabia before but not with that magnitude not with that scope and i think for saudi arabia the important question now really be how theyre protected are we actually i mean the u. S. The u. S. Had delivered Missile Systems to saudi arabia and security umbrella so to speak but it still shows how vulnerable saudi arabia is and its going to be difficult for the kingdom to really think about how to respond to this and weve already seen some International Responses coming in the British Foreign minister our call the set is attacks a reckless attempt to damage Regional Security the u. S. Has not ruled out striking irans oil fields this seems like a pretty vulnerable situation what do you foresee. Yeah its extremely volatile the problem that i personally have with the 3rd was the rhetoric like this is that it ignores whats going on in yemen since for more than 4 years now so regardless of the fact that iran supports the roof the rebels in yemen there is still a war who are in on with a Saudi Led Coalition that is bombarding the north of the country particular and pushing back there with ease so a reaction from the who these. What they had to be expected in that form remains to be very volatile and i think its important that the European Countries including germany clued in Great Britain and france obviously condemned these attacks and called for caution otherwise this kind of explode into further escalation middle east analysts have buy into sadar for us thank you so much. Pleasure. Now bring you some of the other stories making news around the world at least 12 people are dead and more than 2 dozen missing after a sightseeing boat capsized on the go to voting for her in Southern IndiaAuthorities Say tour boats have been banned from operating in the area following recent flooding in the product stage.

To resign in april. Its widely viewed as a test of one of the worlds youngest a mock receives polls have closed in the 1st round of tunisias president ial election the country was the birthplace of the arab spring but its only the 2nd time voters have had a chance to choose their leader in free and fair elections. 26. 00 names are on the ballot paper although only 24. 00 candidates are standing to withdrew from the race just days ago to support a former rival but theres still no clear front runner the president ial election was brought forward after the death of the incumbent steps the interline the election has huge symbolic value to unity is the only country that emerged from the arab spring uprisings at the beginning of the 2010s with a peaceful transition to democracy. High unemployment and inflation have left many voters frustrated but at polling stations today preserving this democracy was the top concern for many. Of the. 481 years old and this is my 1st time. I believe i have i am very happy to take part in this free election that we could not have imagined happening in the 1950 s. Sixtys seventys or even in the 1980 s. But not. My daughter must learn in her youth the importance of voting so that when she grows up she will have pride in her country and love her country whats to come will be better god willing. And then. How this election is important because we are now in a different phase this one weve been dreaming of for years she said this is very important we hope whoever is elected will be up to the challenge. Him or her mentee or. If theres no outright winner in tunis he is vote for president will be a 2nd round of elections probably next month. For more now joined by journalist sara masters in the tunisian capital so there are so many candidates no front runners how engaged in this president ial election. Well a lot of people ive spoken to are actually very well informed about whats going on theyve looked at the program steve looked at the candidates but that doesnt actually reflect into voter turnout. So for until about afternoon it was relatively no. Because a lot of people mistrust of Political Institutions and mistrust a lot of. Establishing an attrition who are running for office so a lot of them who said did probably vote for or will just cause of the well because they dont trust institutions tunisia is seen as the arab spring Success Story possibly the only Success Story but given what youve just said how much of a success is it really. Will have been some considerable progress has that has been made when it comes to the political transition theres been the elections testing a new constitution adopted in 2014 and the if its not fully and place you do some things like the Constitutional Court actually have been part of the place for 4 years its not there yet but politically its relatively well over the very you have an active Civil Society as well that is playing the role of chris lets agree. On the other hand which is lacking has to be correct i left from the dots a lot with a lot of actual voters where he criticized a lot of Senior Citizens said we have seen any result of this uprising when it comes to Economic Development in the country prices rising up inflation is. A very experienced some just maybe thats one of the reasons as well or not were here to. Talk us through the rest of the process how soon are we likely to get the 1st results and then what happens next. So basically these results will be published by tomorrow or tuesday tuesday the latest and its very probable that the high number of candidates that are wants that there will be a 2nd tour that nobody will go into 1st and the 1st from the 2nd. Will take place 2 weeks after final results and 2 kinds of people object to national resolves a lot so basically it can be anytime between lets attack end of september and the top 2 so we dont have to wait for the 2nd round yet in the public there will be a military elections take place on the 6th so im straight.
