Says iran is to blame for drone strikes on two saudi Oil Facilities. Calling it an unprecedented attack on the Worlds Energy supply, he believes theres no evidence the attacks came from yemen, even though Yemens Houthi rebels claimed responsibility. The attacks have caused huge fires, one at the Worlds LargestOil Processing facility, which may have an impact on the Global Market. Reports say as much as half of saudi arabias output could be disrupted. Our World Affairs correspondent paul adams, reports. Audacious attacks on the heart of saudi arabias economy. The abqaiq Oil Processing plant one of the Worlds Largest engulfed in flames, attacked by drones. The kingdoms second largest oilfield, khurais, also hit. The smoke visible from space, caught by a nasa satellite. Yemens Houthi Rebels are celebrating. 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. Aramco, owned by the saudi state, is one of the Worlds Biggest Oil companies. Khurais produces around 1 of the worlds oil. And abqaiq is capable of processing 7 of global supply. Some reports say half the kingdoms Oil Production will be affected. This could Impact Oil Prices in the coming days. In recent months, houthis have carried out a series of strikes on saudi arabias Oil Facilities, using missiles and drones, but the latest attacks are among their most destructive. This is embarrassing for saudi arabia. In this hugely uneven conflict, the houthis have once again demonstrated their ability to cause damage and fear in a war that shows no sign of ending.

He was reported dead at the end ofjuly, but the white house has just confirmed the information. David willis reports. 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 Million Dollar 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 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. 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.

Forensic scientists in the mexican state of jalisco say they have managed to identify 44 bodies found in a well outside the city of guadalajara. The remains were discovered in Early September after locals complained of a bad smell. Mexican police have given no details about the victims. Candace piette is the bbc World Services americas editor. Well, jalisco, where this is taking place, is one of the most violent states in mexico. Two very big and dangerous cartels are at war with each other there. So the size of this mass grave thats been seen has really shocked people all over mexico and has reminded people of the case of the 43 students who were killed a few years ago. And the kind of activism that started around that case since then. But it has also shown how violent the war injalisco has become. And also, the tragedy of the vast amount of people in mexico who have disappeared and who have been killed, and the lack of interest infinding them from the authorities. So what are the challenges that mexico now faces . Well, mexico has a very good law around the disappearances, and really, if it manages to implement this, this is really going to make all the difference. It includes creating a National Database that doesnt exist, there is no database of dna samples from these bodies. There are 26,000 bodies in morgues waiting to be identified, and they say some 37,000 people have disappeared. Thats the latest figures, in the last decade or so. So creating this National Search commission is Something Else that is on the cards, and special legal units to deal with this very specialist part of the law. Now, the problem with this is that it requires the president to put money there. And to do this. And also to overcome the resistance of, for example, the military, who dont want to be investigated for their crimes, and also the power of the cartels, which makes it very dangerous to investigate this kind of thing. Gareth thomas, the welsh rugby star, has revealed that he is hiv positive. Hes thought to be the first british sportsman to speak publicly about living with the virus. The former british lions captain said he hoped it would help to break the stigma around the condition. The reason, the reason im doing this, is because firstly. Iwant to. I want to remember what its like to live again. I want to remember what its like to feel free. And by doing that, i want to empower so many other people who are in exactly the same position as me. And probably ten times worse. To be able to feel free as well. Well, for more on this now, were joined by dr david fawcett, a clinical psychotherapist who specialises in gay mens health. Doctor fawcett, thank you for joining us on bbc news. It was very emotionalfrom gareth joining us on bbc news. It was very emotional from gareth thomas. Joining us on bbc news. It was very emotionalfrom gareth thomas. Why joining us on bbc news. It was very emotional from gareth thomas. Why is it important that a sportsman of his stature, of his fame is able to talk about this . Why is it important for people out there who perhaps are not famous and are living with hiv . All right. Well i really applaud his courage because even in this day and age, some 30 years into the epidemic, it still requires a tremendous amount of courage to the stigma and shame that is so inherent in so many of us. I think you have someone in so many of us. I think you have someone of his calibre and his fame ra ke someone of his calibre and his fame rake through as a role model is tremendously empowering for kinds of people breakthrough. Tremendously empowering for kinds of people breakthrough. Absolutely. You talk about the stigma that is still there was a survey believes showed that 25 of people in the us you think you can catch hiv by drinking water. That is incredible, isnt it . That people think that way. This was a study several years ago, yes, iwas way. This was a study several years ago, yes, i was appalled that there was that level of misunderstanding oi was that level of misunderstanding or shall we colour, ignorance, that is so pervasive. Shall we call it stop this information is really lacking in quality. And yet, and yet, for someone living with hiv in 2019, you know, it is eminently controllable, isnt it . With the right medication now, it is not the death sentence like many people feared. That is absolutely true. We have come a tremendous amount of thing without tremendously far in terms of medical management of hiv we have come a tremendous amount a we have come a tremendous amount a tremendously far distance. The problems with the mental and societal attitudes, shame and stigma havent really kept up with the science and so we still see, as you can see in the video, the tremendous power that such a diagnosis carries, and the tremendous internal costs that people still have two pay to manage coming out about living with the disease. Eric thomas is the first well known british sport started to come out about this, but not the first of all time . Early in the Academic Year in the United States we had magicjohnson, a basketball star, who came out as a heavy positive black, heterosexual male earlier in the epidemic here in the United States was the breaking the spell that people thought that this only affected all of the homosexuals or haemophiliacs back then. It so that everyone is potentially someone who could get hiv and his ability to deal with it with grace was really tremendously important. Going back to gareth thomas. A highly emotional admission from him, how does it affect someones Mental Health to be told you have the hiv virus, even though we know obviously it is very treatable . Right. So i think it makes parents even today, people who are diagnosed, it is still a traumatic reaction, a punch in the stomach. We know that there is a lot of trauma that goes with that, and i think this has to do a lot with the echoes of the societal messaging about hiv and stigma that we have all been internalising for 30 years. So even though our rational minds as it isa so even though our rational minds as it is a manageable disease, we go to these places of shame and stigma. What are our friends and colleagues and children going to say . So it is tremendously impactful. 0k, dr david fawcett, it is so great to talk to you. Thank you for your time. My pleasure. This is bbc news. The headlines the us secretary of state has blamed iran for the drone strikes on two saudi Oil Facilities, saying theres no evidence the attacks came from yemen. The white house has confirmed that hamza bin laden, the son and designated heir to the late alqaeda leader, Osama Bin Laden, was killed in a us counterterrorism operation. Lets have more on our main story this hour now. Jason bordoff is founding director of the center on Global Energy policy at Columbia University and he was White House Energy advisor to president 0bama. Hes in new york. Thank you forjoining us here on bbc news. We have talked about what the secretary of state mike pompeo has said, naming a run for these drone strikes. The fact of the matter remains whoever is behind them, this disruption is going to be significant, at least in the short term. Thats right. It is a hugely consequential disruption. About 6 Million Barrels a day, about huge loss to the daily market. How long will this persist . We dont know the a nswer to will this persist . We dont know the answer to that. The more information we get suggested may not, it may be days or weeks or even longer. They will be a huge shock to the Global Market, it will mean higher oil prices. How different do you think the uss responses given it is not a Net Oil Importer . I think the rhetoric from the us is suggesting thatis rhetoric from the us is suggesting that is the case. If Global Oil Prices spiked, consumers in the United States and in every country will be reminded that it doesnt matter how much oil you import, prices are set in a Global Market and the fact that we are on the verge of being a net 00 oil importer, which is a huge turnaround, doesnt change the fact that prices will spike about with her political repercussions and countries will want to do something to bring prices down. It is the last thing President Trump wants, right . It is, we know from his twitter account and other statements that he definitely prefers Lower Oil Prices than higher oil prices. At the same time, he is also pursuing a strategy of maximum pressure on iran. We have pulled a radiant supply of the market and the potential for this, we dont quite yet know who is replant behind, whether it is around directly, but the potential for this to escalate into broader regional conflict was as oil prices up regional conflict was as oil prices up yet further, something markets and consumers have to consider as well. It will have implications on iranians oil sanctions, isnt it . Well. It will have implications on iranians oil sanctions, isnt mm may have implications. Again, on the one hand, if this is a persistent supply disruption, you want those iranians barrels to come back to offset the supply loss. What we have seen offset the supply loss. What we have seen from this president and secretary of state pompeo, who said today that there should be, iran will be held accountable for this aggression, that the goal of maximum pressure may even outweigh the goal of Lower Oil Prices for the United States. How much do you think Something Like this underlines global overreliance on particular appliance . How much does it tell us on the oil market and how it works . It isa on the oil market and how it works . It is a 100 Million Barrels a day market, that is a lot of oil. We should remember that small changes really matter a lot. Saudi is one of the largest suppliers to the market. This is probably the most Important Oilfacility in the this is probably the most Important Oil facility in the world, and even though 5 Million Barrels a day of might not sound like much with a mark of 100 Million Barrels a day, changes of one or 2 million will have a huge impact on the price. We have a huge impact on the price. We have much less Spare Capacity so the country, mostly saudi arabia that hold a little bit of oil backjust in case it needs it in the event of a disruption. An important question is whether the damage to the facility going to limit the ability started to bring some of those other suppliers back because they have cut reduction with the recent 0pec agreement. They could bring that supply back, but it is a question of whether they can do that with their own disruption. That is an interesting question. Thank you so much. The funeral of Chester Williams has taken place in south africa. He was the only non white member of the team that won the 1995 rugby world cup, a moment that symbolised the countrys return to international sport. He died earlier this month at the age of 49. The bbcs tim allman reports. Band plays Police Outriders and a marching band. Full honours for a hero of his nation. This farewell taking place in cape town where he had played so many times.

Tim allman, bbc news. More damning extracts have been released from the memoirs of the former british Prime MinisterDavid Cameron. In a sunday newspaper, he claims that borisjohnson didnt believe in brexit and only backed the campaign to leave the eu to further his career. 0ur Political Correspondent chris mason reports. Its 2015. The smiles of victory. Give her a kiss 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 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 he says that he failed. What he doesnt think, though, is that he shouldnt have done it. And 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 mayjust have noticed, is choppy enough as it is at the moment, and these memoirs represent another brick lobbed 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 senior figures 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 borisjohnson 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. A toilet made of solid gold and said to be worth more than 6 million has been stolen from an Art Exhibition at a stately home in southern england. Police have arrested a man in connection with the theft from blenheim palace, the former home of winston churchill, but theres no sign of the loo so far. Sarah campbell has the details. Its called america, and when on display in new yorks guggenheim museum, more than 100,000 people experienced this fully functioning artwork. Relocated to one of britains most famous stately homes, blenheim palace, visitors were to be allowed to spend three minutes alone with the toilet doing whatever came naturally. The exhibit itself was designed to be a reflection on the American Dream and the idea of something ordinarily unattainable in fact potentially being there in a way that you could touch. The choice of the toilet was designed to make that physical. Butjust two days after going on display, the toilet was stolen, causing significant flood damage to the palace. We believe they used at least two vehicles during the offence and they left the scene at around 4 50am. A 66 year old man has been arrested in connection with this incident and he is currently in police custody. Blenheim palace say they are relieved no one was hurt and are urging anyone with information to contact the police. Sarah campbell, bbc news. Lets have a look at the weather with phil avery. Hello. Welcome along. So, latest thoughts on how sunday is going to shape up right across the British Isles. Quite a variety of weather on offer and then we will take a look at the next few days after that. Sunday starting off really very windy again after a wild night across the north and north east of scotland. Some Storm Force Winds there. Weather front producing a fair amount of cloud and some rain for northern ireland, the western and southern parts of scotland in the first part of the day. Eventually that rain just moving a little bit further south, getting into the north of england, maybe into the far north west of wales. Thankfully, by this stage, clearer skies getting into scotland and the wind much reduced during the course of the afternoon. Very best of the sunshine across the south eastern quarter of the British Isles, temperatures responding accordingly. Further west through wales and the south west of england, i think therell be more in the way of cloud, and that may well be reinforced as we get on through the evening and overnight, so the remnants of that weather front Still Producing the odd bit and piece of rain will gradually ease its way into the southern half of the British Isles producing quite a mild night here, but further north, underneath the clear skies, you will end up with quite a chilly do, 4, 5 degrees, something of that order. Over the next few days, the week ahead, largely dry across the British Isles. Some pretty chilly nights to come. But there will be some rain across the far north of the British Isles. Monday, as i say, starts off on a relatively mild note across the south, but those colours beginning to drain away. Something a little bit fresherjust trying to dominate across all parts. Monday, as i say, the remnants of that weather front taking the last of the relatively mild airs away to the near continent. Following on behind, the very best of the sunshine will be found across the northern half of the British Isles, a pretty pleasant day. Not too much in the way of wind. A high on the day of about 21 degrees. As the last of that frontal cloud slips away and the High Pressure builds in, so tuesday will start on a pretty chilly note with clear skies, a lot of sunshine around. I think you will lose that somewhat as a frontal system just shows its hand towards northern ireland, the western side of scotland. Quite a noticeable north westerly breeze at this stage, so the temperatures struggling across the north east of scotland. 20 still to be had across the south. As we start the new day on wednesday, High Pressure centred towards the southern half of the British Isles, and it allows this weather front to roll around its northern flank, producing more cloud for the northern half of the British Isles and there will be some bits and pieces of rain coming in across the north of scotland on its way to the Northern Isles and, again, top temperature on the day around about 21 in the sun. This is bbc news, the headlines the american secretary of state has blamed iran for the drone strikes that set fire to two major Oil Facilities in saudi arabia. Houthi rebels in yemen said they carried out the attacks, but mike pompeo said there was no evidence for that claim. Saudi Oil Production will be halved. The white house has confirmed that hamza bin laden a son of Osama Bin Laden was killed in a us counterterrorism operation. He was reported dead at the end ofjuly, but its not clear when the operation, in the afghanistan pakistan border region, took place. Forensic scientists in mexico say theyve managed to identify 44
