The polls open in a little under 3 hours from now in tunisia 2nd president ial election since the arab spring despite the success of the 2011 uprising many voters disenchanted theyre concerned about the economy security and corruption. And palestinian israelis are being called on to voting greater numbers in tuesdays National Election that softer just how full of them turned out to vote in previous polls in april a leading palestinian israeli politician says its time for palestinians to engage more fully in the political system. Perhaps even join a Coalition Government its an unprecedented call and one thats prevent strong responses as harry falls it. Big with days left in the Election Campaign a clash over race voting in hidden cameras came to a head in the israeli parliament. You are a liar shouted knesset member im an hors de confronting israels Prime Minister with a camera phone Benjamin Netanyahu had been trying unsuccessfully to force through last minute legislation allowing Party Activists to film inside polling stations palestinian israeli politicians saw that as an attempt to intimidate voters in arab areas. But in this election im an author isnt just taking on what he calls netanyahu is racist campaign hes confronting a long held within palestinian israeli politics saying he would be prepared to be the 1st leader to take his grouping of mainly palestinian parties into an israeli Coalition Government albeit with conditions that make it unlikely in the near future that they know that. We have a great influence on who will form the government if you put aside the arab vote need we are who will be the pm if you include the arab vote then there are other scenarios. Other members of his alliance have distanced themselves from his message but a recent poll suggests nearly 80 percent of palestinian israelis are in favor of either joining a Coalition Government or supporting one within the knesset nobody ever expected an arab politician to say it and the reason is for all sorts of historic internal debates among the arab palestinian citizens and israel theres been a very ambivalent feeling to what extent the parties should legitimize the Israeli Government to what extent being part of the Israeli Government puts them in a position where they would have to give up on very significant principles in aprils elections the turnout among palestinian israelis was down to a new low 50 percent so with this idea of more active Political Engagement lift that number cut to egypt and voting is a very positive step people here dont do it and if you dont vote our vote goes to rival parties but i am against arab parties joining an Israeli Government. Its good if they join a left wing government not a right wing races government that works against arabs the palestinian citizens of israel there is a level of support for the idea of engaging in Coalition Government in the future but the palestinian israeli politicians they say the vital thing is that their electorate comes out and votes in greater numbers than they have before to have any chance of bringing down the administration of Benjamin Netanyahu netanyahu is him so using orders stance toward voters of this oppose a danger in supporting the main opposition led by benny gantz and yeah i like pete will be me at the head of the likud or will be the period and guns at the head of a leftist government that will include a move to be and i mean as minister of them their government those politicians say no one you know who is trying to diligent him eyes palestinian israelis in gauge meant in National Politics the question is whether this time it might inspire them instead to engage more are a force that aljazeera israel.

Saudi arabia cuts all oil output by almost a ha following drone attacks on key facilities. U. S. Secretary of state blames iran for the attacks on saudi aramco despite claims of responsibility by yemens who think rebels. Hello im martin danish are with aljazeera live from doha also coming out to new zealand head to the polls later on sunday in the countrys 2nd president ial election since a 2011 arab spring. And im nicholas hark in the now forests where century old trees are going down and cut down find out next what the government in kenya are doing to prevent the destruction in east africas largest indigenous forest. The u. S. Secretary of state might pompei has accused iran of direct involvement in saturdays drone attacks on some a saudi arabias most important of facilities this is a tweet that he posted it said tehran is behind almost 100 attacks on saudi arabia while rouhani and zarif pretend to engage in diplomacy amid all the calls for deescalation iran has now launched an unprecedented attack on the worlds Energy Supply there is no evidence the attacks came from yemen but who the rebels say they are behind the attacks on the Worlds Largest Petroleum Processing facility in abqaiq as well as on an oil field in could ice and that is full syria to temporarily cut off production by around 50 percent the u. S. President donald trump has called it an attack on the Global Economy he spoke to the Saudi Crown Prince mohammed bin bill been sound man and he said that he would guarantee Saudi Security a solid binge of aid begins our coverage. Of the Worlds Largest Oil Processing facility went up in flames after a drone attack amateur videos captured the fire and smoke at saudi aramco is uptake unit that was targeted by drones belonging to yemens hooty rebels with the capacity to process nearly 7000000 barrels a day of great plays a pivotal role in iraq because operations and other oil fields in her race which produces a 1000000 barrels a day also came under attack. State media carried a statement from the interior ministry and said the fires were brought under control saudi arabia has been leading a coalition against the who is in the war in yemen since 2015. The rebels say they want the world to see that they have a list of targets which they can hit in the kingdom look at some. Attacks are our right and we warn the saudis that our targets will keep expanding we have the right to strike back in retaliation to the air strikes and the targeting of our civilians for the last 5 years saudi arabia accuses iran of backing the hoodies a charge denied by the rebels some believe the saudi response to the drone attacks is going to be more of whats been happening during the war in yemen this would probably help them project their what theyve been doing in yemen as something legitimate especially given the International Report about the violations and about the at truscott is committed in yemen i think the saudis would continue or the thing that theyve been doing over the last 4 years is bomb bomb bomb would be fighters tactics have evolved in the last few years and theyre drone attacks have become more frequent accurate and long range as conventional air defenses struggle against multiple small drones some see aerial attacks on Oil Facilities as a possible game changer in the conflict a drone like this can be assembled from 10. 00 to 15000. 00 or explosives this provides a unique opportunity to target the military and in this case its also more concerning because you will want to target facilities that have a huge impact besides the physical damage the hoodies also seem to have time the attacks just a saudi aramco announced it is moving forward to sending a part of the state oil company the stock listing has been on again off again but attacks like these will not help Investor Confidence to bring in billions of dollars to diversify in the south the economy the primary mistake is that its not really working out also. Maybe someone. Since saudi aramco is no ordinary company its the engine of saudi arabias economy and a source of power for its rulers its also the crown jewel of the Saudi Crown Princes embellishes plan to diversify the economy but with seemingly expanding strike capability as from the war in yemen this would give investors a moment to pause some of it job it out is there more now on the view from washington from our correspondent gabriel elizondo. The reaction from washington to this attack really took on 2 forms we never heard publicly from President Donald Trump on this on saturday but the white house confirming that he did speak to the crown prince of saudi arabia and really just trump was offering his full support to saudi arabia and the crown prince of saudi arabia self defense trump saying that the u. S. Would support saudi arabia and also saying that this is attack was a threat to the Global Economy but then you saw a very strong statement again from mike pompei oh the secretary of state later on saturday if there be a twitter in this statement just really pointing the finger at iran directly so a different tack from the president who just so support for saudi Arabia Pompei o basically coming out and saying this was an attack by iran and iran will be held accountable for it just shows the 2 different messages that are really coming out of washington on saturday on this support for saudi arabia but also pointing the finger directly at iran important to point out the pump a 0 did not give any or provide any evidence at all on. Where he comes up with the idea that iran was behind this well be watching that closely in the coming hours and days to see if the state department or Defense Department anyone else can give any is any evidence on this but clearly 2 big strong messages coming out of washington on saturday support for saudi arabia and also baled threats to iran threats that they are behind this according to the u. S. In a couple of hours from now the polls will open in june easy a 2nd president ial election since the arab spring this what the success of the 2011 revolution many voters seen this in chanting to the countrys new democracy the stephanie death of ripples from the capital tunis. For 20 years feisal has been sitting in this exact same spot in tunis is ancient medina creating souvenirs engraved with tunisias pots but this. Future is far harder to hammer out militant ideas with been going downhill since 2011 and everything politicians are arguing and we pay the price what used to cost 1. 00 do you know is now 10 or more used to cost team day now now its 30. 00 we ask him if he will vote in sundays election and maybe know. He voted many times before he tells us and thats been more than enough for him he doesnt trust the politicians 36 year old abdul harder feels the same disappointment he will go to the polling booth on sunday but in protest the commercial police just i will cast a blank vote so no one else can use it many of us are not satisfied the president ial elections were brought forward by 2 months after the death of the late president 92 year old.

Democratization process succeeding and this is happening because in the middle of the middle east and north africa this is unique this is an exception we cannot deny that at the same time what can democracy provide in terms of economic demands thats the major challenge so its a mixed story if we meet a group of ladies in the medina they too arent happy with whats been achieved in the last 8 years economy security corruption. The main issues everyone highlights was after the revolution everything had to change but nothing has changed everything is actually worse infrastructure for instance we just had terrible floods here the economy before everything was covered up but after the revolution its now out there for all to see tunisians go to the polls on sunday if no candidate gets over 50 percent of the vote there will be a runoff in november many will tell you that is an almost certain scenario parliamentary elections will take place in october the next 2 months could reshape the entire Political Landscape and determine what tunisia will look like moving forward Stephanie Decker aljazeera tunis. The 83. 00 migrants rescued by the charity ship the ocean viking 6 days ago and now on the italian island of lampedusa the decision to allow them ashore was a reversal of the closed ports policy implemented by the previous Coalition Government spearheaded by the former interior minister. Who brennen reports. The news brought tangible relief to ocean viking after nearly a week in limbo just heard. This side play some say he was. Was. It sparked a spontaneous celebration among the rescued migrants in what it is were very happy about the news it is amazing were going to arrive in a place where people understand and listen to us very happy to learn that we have to some backing in lampedusa its lees new Prime Minister. Has been in power just a week center left Coalition Government supports a more humane approach than the hardline closed ports policy of the previous interior minister Matteo Salvini but ministers in.

Stuck to our request to take the majority of the microbes it must be clear that already is to ensure that those who arrive in italy or redistributed to other European Countries that hasnt stopped salvini from criticizing we have only part of the redistributions in europe are just words because i am still waiting for the other European Countries to take a few 1000 of those that they have already promised to take so this is a surrender obviously one of contest promises to europe was that it really would return to being a refugee camp. Back on board the grounds are already planning where they might be sent germany has promised to take 25 percent of any refugees rescued in the mediterranean but the rest of the distribution is less clear the subject will certainly come up when e.
