and considered a terrorist organization by the us, germany and some sunni arab countries. israel has no, it's officially claimed responsibility for the strike on a route, but less than a security. so also said it was caused by an israeli dry and has blah has vowed to retaliate, calling it a serious assaults on 11 on is a factor while i get the enemy big waging a war and 11 and say, well, we will fight without restoring tool without leaves without letting me eyes then without restrictions. yes, right on the nose. what i mean of israel's main ally, the us who said it was nursing homes before the blasting. they were said, washington is now urging restraint to tape the wall contained just want to before we don't want to see it. why beyond israel and am awesome. again, we're going to keep working with partners in the region to prevent that from that

has the law has so far refrained from escalating beyond board of skirmishes with these ro. but these to attack in the hoss of living on has raised fees of an all out war. and these railey army says it's on high alert and ready for any scenario that's bringing the w as a pos alco chalet who is in bay root. so we're seeing there, those images of the funeral of the deputy on loss leader getting underway. just walk us through what exactly the details are here and what we might be saying. transpire. the sort of the norm stopped at the as you days or what was in beta with that. and then i have the most good and i'm not even work in about 2. can you me 30 so south of this area and then they will hate to let shutting the shoes you can split. so, you know, to see you cams and loudly and his both the contain as an adult eyes. would it be better to and the that mark to as i just had

a similar 3 at later. so um there are many put insurance. uh, they take uh place and this federal and the many message, but it's a color message for sure, if not, but a senior inside lebanese being sent. so what is the situation right now in bare room? what is the mood the better to sit quiet, to be honest, some of the generous to go to this, which of the, you know, secretary of hezbollah has sent us a lot last night so, but on the same time the same time they are waiting, just be the model because he was talking about he will go more deeply to discuss and different topics. and so it's, so we'll see what he would say tomorrow. this is the 1st the side, the other side is the situation on the board or it's, it's not quite that's all that i was showing. there was a shelling and then in the i'm and effects and from both sides. so and beta,

it's quite the people of an hour and that is going on on the people are feeling good. it's a bit to come. thank you so much for your reporting that we use a boss of kashodi reporting from bay river as we have mentioned. you were seeing images there of the funeral of laurie. the deputy head of the box is a way to come so well now a ron is holding a day of mourning for the victims of twin bloss in the city of caroline. on wednesday, the death toll has now been revised to at least 84. the blast happening near the grave of top general kasan. so the money mourners had gathered for a ceremony working for years since his assassination by the united states and a drawn strike. the us has denied carrying out this attack and says it has seen no evidence of his really involvement the aftermath of

a blast that shook the city of care mont and ever on south for leasing, shrapnel into the screaming crowd. local media capture, the moment people started running as they heard the 1st explosion go off. another glass nearby followed some minutes later. the thousands were attending the ceremony honoring the prominent iranian general custom solely money killed in the us, drake, in 2020. the us says it has no role in this attack and that israel didn't either. it's too early, at least for us to be able to say what might have caused it. but i do want to address some of the irresponsible claims that i have seen circulate and say that number one, the united states was not involved in any way. and any suggestion to the contrary is ridiculous. and number 2, we have no reason to believe that israel was involved in this explosion. it's believed to be the deadliest attack in iran in over 40 years. there were reports of

a stampede that injured several people. as the tried to run away, the un responded with calls for accountability. the secretary general strongly comes via talk today on a memorial ceremony and carmen city and the stomach republic over on which reportedly killed more than 100 people and injured many more. the secretary general costs for those responsible to be held accountable. 3 human to ron has labeled the explosions as a terrorist attack. while iran supreme leader had told the human a valid to retaliate promising a harsh response. who could be behind the attacks? while i put that question to middle east expert daniel gala, as well as far as i understand the reading and leadership. when we talk about president racy and we talk about the supreme dot com and

a have not directly blamed iran, israel in the united states. one else that i use is deputies, let's say political surrogates, whatever you want to call them, has mentioned this, but it seems to me that the reading and leadership itself has not issued such an accusation. i might be wrong, but this is my understanding of the new situation at the moment and for good reason . i don't think we have any and see and american and then is really had in there. but they have been accusing of forces dog forces that are driven by a for an agenda. that is something else. so they don't believe that it's a direct whatever intel operation or end it seems that it is not. there is a number of uncertain groups any wrong that has the capacity of conducting such operations. and one of them is hales from the south east of the country from the village suddenly minority. and that used to be called the general law. the army of got it, then changed its name to j shalanda,

the army of justice. this group has conducted a tax and sojourn to tax the balloon. people have paid high, just told during the protest last year. and of course, there was good reason for village people to, to, to be in a way, angry and also radicalize. and they have also accounts to settled with the revolutionary god, cool of which cost them. so the money was an important officer, but they could also be, you know, drug cartels operating at the off gun and rating and border there is and also then of uh, the so called islamic state and for us on and i've got us down. so there is a number of suspects, but nothing in my assessment points to any is really or, or, or american responsibility will let you know later on any of the other neighbors of the run at the moment stairs. some other stories making news around the world. china has lodge, they protested to me on mar, after straight artillery shells leaded from across the border facing call for

a cease fire between me on mars, one to and revel that they have been fighting since october we on mars military junta has pardons more than 9000 prisoners, including 114 foreigners. it is part of an annual release to mark the countries independent say. there was no immediate indication that political prisoners were among those frank. a u. s. court has unsealed court records containing the names of people linked to convicted sex traffic, or jeffrey epstein. the identities of more than 150 people mentioned a lawsuit brought by one of epstein is most prominent accusers have been kept sealed for years. rolling last month found no legal justification to keep them private. oh, salvatore has demolished a monument commemorating the peace deal between the government and rebels, but ended the country civil war in 1992. that's after the president who kelly

called these sculptures statically, horrible, and said they glorified those who killed salvatore in peace. after weeks of heavy rain, many communities in germany are struggling with rising flood waters and burst river banks. the state of lower saxony has been hit hardest, with more heavy rain forecasts in the coming days. frances helping provide dikes to add the necessary protective barriers. japan has reinforced cruise working to find survivors of the devastating new year's day earthquakes. the confirmed death toll has risen to $84.00 with at least $79.00 more on accounted for . rescuers are still struggling to reach some of the worst hit areas is missing out, survivors rescue dogs and military personnel are racing against the clock to find anyone a life under the rubber. these desperate attempts are made even more difficult by

continuing after shocks destroyed roads and the remote location of the worst hit areas or in a final push depends prime minister has doubled the number of rescue workers in the area say again, but the situation in the affected area is very challenging as we go from the perspective of saving lives when making all efforts to rescue that to provide live, saving a to, to as many people as possible a for the crucial 72 hour period following the disaster elapses this evening. and as i said, my volunteers handed that free suit to the people whose homes were destroyed in the queen size and it's we're left with our electricity or water isn't. i didn't, i know that there's no running water for the toilet and we can't wash our hands. there are babies in the back, you ration center. and my biggest worry is that they'll get infected with covert or

influenza. and that illness will spread using over some have returned home in the hopes of receiving use of the missing relatives, only to find their entire neighborhood raised to the ground. even on the after shock stops and the dust settles. the reality here is that tens of thousands of people will be less homeless and we've talked vital services as the region starts the long and painful rebuilding. i just want to pursue what sets my thought desired or you think your kid is 2 different, risky, irresponsible, reasonable stopping port in those nonsense? i was under the dr. joe in the cloud. it's time to, to get your generation with a sleep asked and then winter.
