to united peoples, but he still insists that ukraine was involved somehow the case could actually has been around the rejected outside of moscow with western states. clearly pointing the finger is alarming state affiliate and warning of increased security concerns in their own countries. i'm feel gail in berlin and this is the day the people came to a concerts. some people came to relax with their families. and any one of those could have been in that situation the, the guilty will be punished. they do not deserve nothing or share them in your file . there was no indication, no proof whatsoever that ukraine was in any way linked to these attacks. to post, i think that it would be both cynical and counter productive of russia itself and the security of its citizens. to use these contexts to try and turn it against

ukraine when a company. in fact, what we know to be the case is that ice k is actually and by all accounts responsible for what happens also on the day the us of stains on the lives a un security council resolution calling for the cause of cease 5 to pass is ready, 5 minutes, that criticizes what he sees as a change in us policy. it does not represent a change at all in our policy. it's very consistent with everything that we've been saying. we want to get done here. and we get to decide what our policy is. the prime minister's office seems to be indicating 2 public statements that we somehow changed here. we haven't, and we get to decide what uh, what our policy is. welcome to the day for mand johnson and connection with friday's concert hold attacked me a moscow bidding housing custody and raising trial on terrorism charges,

i believe to be members of a branch of the so called as lumnick state group more. and is it continuing to buy flowers outside the crow to city whole concept venue, in which at least $139.00 people were killed in friday's assault? it was the deadliest attack on russell russian sold for 2 decades. one after another, the suspect said dragged into a court in the russian capital. investigators say all of them have confessed to carrie. now it's friday's attack. inside a most cool concert, whole fi, do us have immersion? social media is suggesting some of the group were tortured. well, in custody, one of them brought in directly from hospital in a wheelchair. all 4 suspects now facing terrorism charges, any possible sentence of 15 years to life in prison. of the outside, the croakers, seated whole with the attack and folded people continue to lay flowers on sunday,

russia health a nationwide day of morning for the dozens of victims, people came to a concert. some people came to relax with their families to any one of us could have been in that situation. i want to express my condolences to all the families that were affected here soon soon, and i want to pay tribute to these people. i'm on those here, 2 more and a survivors of the concert massacre. some of the 5000 people evacuated from the vein you during the attack manual of them with the help of its workers. i am so grateful to all of those people who were there that evening. they showed us where to go with directed us and we'd like to thank each of them. they did a great job with the countries tightly controlled media has so far notes

raised questions about how the security services dealt with the attack taking place . just days after president vladimir putin dismissed a us warning about an event and a sold. and despite an affiliate of the so called a slamming state, claiming each was responsible, the cramming has chosen to instead point the finger right to crane. without providing any proof, a claim that keeps says, is absurd. it's francis joined the us on the u. k and confirming that intelligence sources indicate their time was carried out by a branch of the so called islamic state group. and i've got this down. notice i says k, just last week of jem and police arrested to suspect the members of the group and accused of planning an attack on sweden's parliament and retaliation for a crown. but things that happened and driven interior administered in nancy phase as well. that is k posey's just greatest is the misread, is more on the group terror in moscow. the latest attack by isis k at the experts

warn, probably not the last. the tara group is named after an old term for a region that spreads over parts of a ron truck meant us down and afghanistan, isis k, emerged in eastern afghanistan in late 2014, and became known for extreme brutality. it survived even as the so called as lumnick state in syria and a rack has largely been defeated. it supports itself by local donations, taxation, extortion, and smuggling. on in 2021, isis k claimed and attack and ask and us down the bombing at the capital airport, killed over 170 afghans and 13 us soldiers. the group doesn't just target the west . it also staged an attack in pakistan last year. and a bombing into ron earlier this year that killed more than 100 people. experts fear that isis k is preparing more attacks and several countries german roger's ranking member smith. ladies and gentlemen of the,

and the risk of attack emanating from afghanistan is increasing. i ss, i says, course retains the capability and the will to attack us and with western interest abroad in as little as 6 months with little to no warning. friends in germany have also warrant that isis case, actively preparing terror actions in europe. so particularly the key which appears to be involved to this on top of the has made several attempts on the populace, so they don't think so i'm in the course of maybe met josh. but with the, i'm just taking the limits. i think we need a model to increase the baby to this level. the dc did the seat up a still do this. all calm says paris gears up to host the olympic games this summer . germany is also set to host the euro 2020 for soccer tournament. millions of visitors are expected, but an intense pressure on authorities to keep the festivities say, i don't. why is that? it is a senior fellow at the washington institute for near east policy,

even exports on your hobby movements, such as is not extinct. welcome to d, w. if we cast our minds back what angel? 9 years there was a whole period where we seem to have one i s o l, cairo to attack after another. all we about to enter another such period. do you think? i so it's definitely a possibility we've seen over the last year so that the, the, as long as the course on providence or i escaped the evident building up it's capacities internationally, 1st targeting local countries in afghanistan and pockets done expanding it out to more regional states. like a ron and turkey, obviously we seen the most recent attack in russia and these long state for some provinces been targeting the different countries in europe as well. but so far, law enforcement has been able to stop them. but if they continue with this pace would not be surprising. it within the next 6 months, they're able to do something unfortunately. and is that sort of unifying purpose?

because as i recall with, i'll tell you that it was all about that. but the caliphate, what did these guys want? well, the 1st one province is just another part of the islamic state. the same group that we saw in iraq and syria that were attacking people in france, belgium, in the u. k in germany and elsewhere in the past. um, it's just that the external operations arm and the center of gravity for it has moved from syria. uh from you know, around the 2014 to 2019 time period. and over the last 5 years it's, it's moved towards the dentist and, and uh, well, the group has been degraded within afghanistan over the last couple years by the towels on. the group has been able to expand its sort of networks outside of it and, and doing these attacks and in a broader scale. and what's that based with russia as well?

so one, just from the local perspective within afghanistan, the russians have been engaging with the taliban government, and i s k p is viewed as hold on is in a positive regime. then besides that, you also have other geo political factors such as russia bombing places, syria, as well as russia's wagner, forces now the recon form, after the car has been fighting them within molly. and then besides that, just from an ideological perspective, just like western countries. um, you know, they view russia as crusaders, just eastern crusaders a lot to find you a sound bite from russian president vladimir pro said and then get your reaction. me is my, we know use a crime, was committed by radical islamists who follow an audiology. these, let me quote itself as being fighting for centuries. what is that you can, can you if it is necessary to find out why after committing that crime, the terrorists tried to go to ukraine,

who was waiting for them the to establish though. otherwise, ellen, a lot of my food invest needs to be tried to link what appears to be the action of i is terrorism with the conflict and you christ. does that sound credible? i don't think so. it appears more for local political audiences. and this information than anything, there's no evidence to suggest that any i s k p networks have ever had any links to create at all. and also how do they actually know which direction they're specifically going? since there's a large amount of space between moscow and ukrainian territory, the attack was reminiscences of the west, et cetera, attacks in europe, not in the bicycle on attacking power since 2015. what sort of planning time and effort would have gone into this? so it's, it's clear that, you know, they've been planning this for awhile. it's likely that the individuals involved in

the attacks likely chased the actual concert hall ahead of time and, and looked at it to see what they can do and how much they can potentially get away with it. and this also comes on the heels of the large scale bombing attack, the highest, which he did in iran earlier this year. so they've increasingly been able to have extremely, sadly attacks through the broader networks of individuals that they've been able to recruit likely train as well. as facilitate the financial transfers to help them out, plan such a sophisticated operation. right? so the, the, the period of a relative quiet. so if i can put it that way that we've enjoyed, of these last few years, what do you put that down to? is that, is that down to military intervention in syria for instance? or is that dance of a, the work of the various national security agencies? or i think it's a combination of the military campaign in iraq and syria and taking ios out of the

territory there as well as degrading its capacities and the, the center of gravity, of these external operations had to move to another province, quote, unquote of the islamic state, but also uh, great law enforcement of local authorities and in many different countries and intelligence sharing between them. it's important to remind people that the us actually warrant russia a weeks ahead of time that they had credible intelligence that there was the potential for an attack. and yet they ahead of time. uh, president, putting a stop stop is if it wasn't a serious thing. so, you know, hopefully the, you know, the russian government keeps those warnings in the future. and now here on the continent of, of europe we have the power southern fix on their way. um there you are in football championships, both of my favorite crowd events, the thoughts of spectacular as that said, the terrorist would like to pull off. yeah,

i mean we've seen in the past that they've tried to, uh, you know, be influential on, you know, large scale events as well as surrounding holiday times. um, so i wouldn't be surprised if we saw specific a plots trying to target this. but, you know, the hope is that through a law enforcement greater intelligence sharing amongst different allies and partners that you know, they will be forwarded as most of the plots so far have been forwarded in the last few years. good talking to you. thank so much for joining us. i don't. why is that? and from the washington institute for near east policy, thanks for asking me please the raise their hand.

those against how the extension of the the reserves over the voting gives us for us 14 votes in favor, 0 vote against one extension the throughout 55th at 5728. what was the un security council approving a new draft resolution quoting for an immediate humanitarian seized by in gaza for the remainder of the most imposing month of ramadan and useful to us on boss of it to the un glenda thomas greenfield. abstaining a council had failed to agree on a number of the ceasefire resolution since the war began in october. the late night towards the wording of this latest resolution was a meant to make it acceptable to the rest of the world. and it was changed to

lasting. the king section of the final version rates, un security council demands an immediate cease 5 for the month of ramadan, respected by old potties, leading to a lasting, sustainable cx 5 overseas. the reaction to the vote from the palestinian is regularly basset as to the un. it has taken 6 months over 100000 palestinians, give a name to a 1000000 displaced. and simon, for this consul to finally demand an immediate cease fire, a vote for humanity to prevail for life to prove it save the lives of those whose advice against all odds. 10 of them had is on the way hold accountable. those who inflicted such self funding

upon them and this injustice and now of this is long overdue. your demands for a ceasefire without conditioning gate on the release of the hostages. not only is not helpful, but it undermines, undermines the efforts to secure their release. all members of the council, all members should have voted against this shameful resolution. this council is riley blood is cheap. this is a travesty. and i am disgusted. thank you mister president. was ready, 5 minutes of benjamin netanyahu responded to the vote by canceling the visits of venetian identification to washington. they've been due to discuss a plans is really military operation in the southern guys and the city of rafa. the

us had hoped to use the talks to present israel with an alternative strategy is a u. s. reaction to that consolation. so i saw the statement from the government of israel. i would say i was a bit surprising and unfortunate. there were issues with that. we had concern issues with which we had concerns related that resolutions affected not kinda from offices, terraced tax of october 7th. that's why we didn't vote for it. but the reason we didn't veto it is because there are also things in that resolution that were consistent with our long term position. it is a bit surprising and unfortunate that they are not going to apparently attend these meetings last spring, an hour. and david miller, who is the middle established and senior fellow of the comedy gate endowment for international peace. st. previously worked out the us state department for 24 years . so i think 6, the secretary of state as an advisor on the very least, welcome to the w, will vision cx. 5 resolution, prevent israel from, from continuing its plans to go into gaza. good,

good. this resolution is certainly not shameful, as these really rep described it, but it's also not very effective. this is going to change nothing on the ground. and the reality is today was not a, my judge was not a good day either for the united states or as, or we had a un security council resolution that essentially cannot affect and advance with the president really wants. which is the fundamentally c, a d escalation in gaza. secession in his room was no way military activities free. now hostages and surgery and humanitarian assistance. i so desperately needed by 2300000 gospels, where essentially besieged this resolution, which will accomplish none of that. israel's response to this resolution, which was to politic prime ministers already begun his re election campaign to

criticize the united states and refused to send a delegation to discuss whether there are alternatives to ground campaign in russell. that was also fundamentally counterproductive, neither what the us did today, what israel did today is going to alter what i owed of the conflict that we're watching. and it has been ongoing for 6 months. the only thing that will do that is that is really how mos negotiation, which produces a 6 week pause, which might, might create a time and space to fundamentally change and alter the dynamics it guides of today won't do it either. what us you did, or what is real, did. so it's so as if from was from the analysis that you just given us here. you're saying to be saying that that the, the u. n is really irrelevant to what's going on on the ground. do you want to do a lot? it has agencies and expertise with respect to humanitarian assistance. and in the

middle east has demonstrated a pension for a for peacekeeping and other other conflict, gary. but in terms of other things, 5 you think it has have, i think this is tim, are all through the behavior of the 2 major combatants to this conflict. and the reason we have is going on for 6 months is because no outside power is willing and or able to fundamentally change the battle field. dynamic between what is real lots and what i'm us 6 to achieve that should be apparent. every right? so do you think then so, so given everything that you said it's and you and you talked about uh benjamin netanyahu. we essentially paula switching now on, on re election. everyone that is raise get to that stuck in the silo. the us doesn't change its position until i know the last as that president

biden is removed. those 2 dynamics a don't change this. this sounds like, unless something major happens, perhaps militarily, everybody stays where they are. i think frankly, the only party or party explorer would seem to be in a hurry to end the conflict between israel and loss. certainly not israel. and it's certainly not a mice. the parties that are disappointing to create a sense of urgency. and it's politically inconvenient to recognize are the parties that are external to these concepts. i've been around middle east negotiations for a very long time. they tend to have to speed slow and slower. and in order for them to succeed, each side needs to have urgency. and achievable goal that will somehow fundamentally address their concerns. i see no way right now to do

any better than a 6 week pause. how much wants to survive? they'll keep 50 hostages, even if 45 or release is riley's, are determined to obliterate a mazda is a military organization to kill a senior leadership. i don't think either side has a band and those goals. and in view of that, whether it's germany or the when or the us, nobody is willing and or able. um, the fundamentally alter their, their calculations are the 2 combatants. that's why it's complex going out for 6 times that that's clear. yeah. help us understand. i'm washington's thinking. what was it about face resolution that made them not to use the visa, which they have use 3 times against similar resolutions? it's a very good question. i think on one hand, there is a certain exhaustion of having to somehow fundamentally try to alter

or veto for you in security council resolutions, i think the united states wanted to send a signal is such a signal. there's no question about that. it's very unhappy that it may even be angry at uh, at the current government of israel. and so its policies, i think political pressure is building mainstream democrats, the so called uncommitted, in a very close election, which could be determined by 3 or 4 states under 800000 votes in november. the uncommitted don't show for any number of reasons, including the administration's policy and gods, and may choose simply not to vote. so i think all of these things combine. so, but the ultimate objective is heavy. the opposite effect. that's the problem. it's not advancing what joe by the wants, and the only thing that couldn't deliver that would just literally change the

pictures and guys, break the battlefield dynamic, create predictable car doors to search humanitarian assistance. and maybe just, maybe after 6 we pause, try to extend that somehow. the only thing that's gonna do there is, is what's happening in doha. nothing in new york or the you and can bring that about. okay, that's a, a facet. i think, very interesting. and rather bleak analysis, but we thank you for the interview. i'd be kind of getting down with for international peace. thank you so much. thank you for having me. we'll finish with a look, be on the planet to what's been going on in space and russians. so he was rocketed counting 3 afternoon or about as arrived, successfully. dr. the international space station. it lasted off on saturday, 2 days after it's originally was imported for you to a technical problem. the spacecraft to progression the roofing under the american
