lands to provide a brighter future, a more prosperous future, more democratic atmosphere to all of us. i also accept all application and gratitude to the rebel judges of egypt and the professionals who offer so the referendum that was an absolute success. my fellow countrymen, i am overwhelmed with pleasure by the honest patriotic sentiments that i felt among all the egyptians that brought all the egyptians to one side, one hand, one voice, one will, a will that will be safeguarded by god all -- almighty and i ask you to

officials say which passed with 98.1% approval. however, the critics point out that participation rate was less than 50% and officially about 38% and human rights organizations criticizing the suppression of forces, political forces which were opposed to the constitution in the run up to that referendum. all right, let's see what we are doing next now. let's shift gears a little bit and talk about the situation in pakistan where the taliban says it's behind attack that killed 22 soldier, the worst strike on the military since the taliban leader was killed last november and puts more doubt in attempts by the government to hold peace talks. and we report on the explosion in the city close to pakistan's tribal belt. >> the men were on their way to the tribal area when the convoy was attacked and part of a

military build up in the region the taliban's top leadership, a statement issued by the taliban called the attack revenge for the death of deputy amman, to his right is the taliban leader who was killed in a drone strike in november. the taliban statement reads the government of pakistan with the help of the americans first killed and then our leader, the pakistani government is not serious about holding talks with us or else it would not have targeted our leadership. the attack follows a targeted killing of three cell tigs people and they killed the men over the network's negative coverage of pakistan's taliban movement and later one of the members came on the same network and said this >> the attack was news to him because the network is involved in propaganda against us, this

is regarding the attacks. >> reporter: a vigil was held to condemn the murders and those present say the latest escalation in violence is a clear sign that taliban rejects the state's offer of peace talks. >> i have come here to express my anger on those people who says that we want to negotiate with those terrorists who have accepted the responsibility of the murder of the workers. i think that the government should make a difference, very clearly and announce it that what is their policy. >> the fact that they want to talk with the militants who are just not prepared and instead of the state showing its strength, it is completely exposing its weakness and helplessness. >> reporter: the government says it still wants to hold talks with the taliban but public anger over the action to deal

with the violence is growing. i'm with al jazeera. >> reporter: now we have the director for the south asia center of the atlantic council and joins us from washington d.c., good to have you with us and i'm sure you remember when the ledders of the taliban were killed by u.s. drone strikes some predict we will see the pakistan taliban take a tougher line is this, in fact, what we are seeing today? >> yes, and the travesty in pakistan is for having a proactive strategy which is to hurt the pakistan military and civilian forces whereas the government does not have a clear strategy. there is now expectation that a new government policy will be announced in the next few days, but the government has failed to shape the environment and to get the public on board as to

exactly how it's going to have a strategy that will be proactive, that will not only address the violence but also address the need for economic development in the area where the taliban are most active. the borders with afghanistan. >> reporter: up until now the government was talking about peace tracks and trying to sort the problems out, do you expect that sort of line to change on the part of the government going forward? >> i think it will particularly after this latest attack which is pretty heavy loss for the frontier core and when you look at it ever since 2001 when the government moved forces into fata and began these operations in support of the coalition work in afghanistan, there has been no attempt made to improve the conditions under which the frontier core operates. even the attack of today was in

a light-skinned vehicle which is not protected against ieds or rocket or even rifle fire. so over the years not much has been done to equip the forces and an opportunity for both pakistan and perhaps the united states to look at the situation post 2014 and see how best they can help pakistan in this regard. >> reporter: in this sort of situation do you believe what the united states wants? you may recall i'm sure when he was killed by u.s. drone strike many analysts said they are trying to prevent the pakistan government making peace with the taliban, is this a new pick up of dynamic of violence of what they want to see in pakistan do you believe? >> i don't think that it's a u.s. policy. really it's on pakistan as to what policy it comes up with. the question is if you are going to have peace talks what is the aim? the aim is certainly not to

concede to the taliban their desire to set up islamic efforts. they certainly don't want to stop their war once the coalition forces depart from afghanistan or once the pakistan military withdraws. the big issue was whether the pakistan army would act with where the troops were going. that is not going to happen until and unless the government that is under the same party as the central government is prepared to also tap down the local militants who had alliances with the taliban. so there is a very long front that is likely to open inside pakistan for which at the moment at least the government seems to be unprepared. >> reporter: and thanks for your thoughts. also ahead on the news hour, taking a stand against domestic

blocking the roads to parliament and set buses on fire, the police fired pepper gas and kidnapped a policeman. opposition leader and former professional boxer tried to calm the people with no success. this is exactly the kind of confrontation that opposition leaders were trying to avoid. but after 8 weeks of protest with little result some protesters have become very frustrated and decided to confront authorities in the streets. tensions tightened this week when demonstrations in the center of kiev illegal and the president signed into law measures that limit free speech and assembly and earlier sunday tens of thousands gathered on independent square to defy the regulations. >> translator: my appeal to law enforcement bodies, to servicemen, join the people, protect the people, because you gave an oath to the, ukraine people first of all and you have to protect them.

the worst violence that we have seen here in nearly two months. >> reporter: and as you are saying jennifer they are using tear gas to dispurse demonstrations and there is a ban effectively aimed at effectively stopping, preventing these gatherings from taking place, is it a matter of time before we see the police take further action? >> well, it's really unclear. i think everybody is uncertain. i ask what is going to happen next if they are progovernment or proopposition say they are not really sure. we did see the government pass sweeping new laws that cracked down on dissent court, published a ruling that it made earlier this month that makes public gatherings in the center of kiev as the goal. it looks as though the authorities are laying the ground work to clear out this protest behind me which is

moving into its 9th week but if police will come in the square, whether they will move violently is uncertain. it's encouraging so far though that when protesters went to confront police, not far from here, and there were thousands of them, the police have been very restrained. >> reporter: jennifer glass in kiev, thanks. that's it for me for the moment but much more later in the news hour including. >> i'm in london at a sunday service with a difference. this one he is not invited. ♪ iraq government says it launched an offensive against fighters from the islamic state, the alaska die linked group has taken over the providence and controls parts of the nearby city of fallujah and the silence

islamic state of iraq and the lavant. that group has an audio statement calling on all rebels fighting to stop and join forces against the government. the syrian revolutionary front and soldiers of lavant expressed a desire to attend the peace talks in switzerland but the islamic front is opposed to the idea, a leading member posted on twister account serious future on the ground of heroism and signed with blood on the front lines, not in hollow conferences attended by people who do not even represent themselves. another fighting force for the syrian army says president al-assad must step do you know and the syrian regime never indicated the president is willing to do so. >> translator: we support any solution that guarantees a political transaction of authority, fulfills the syrian people's demands and ask the

as possible. >> reporter: now, when of course before south sudan became an independent country uganda's interest seemed to be in helping south sudan fight against the north, that was the focus. how much of that changes now that south sudan becomes an independent country and has its own civil war going on? >> i think uganda interest is in this case and don't cease a difference between the count conflict and previous conflict. what has happened in the south is the south has become unstable due to internal factors. but otherwise, you know, uganda and the authorities have a proxy war in which the spla and splm wars and ally and the sudan people go with the large resistance army. >> reporter: so i mean, to what extent is stability of north

uganda at stake here for compala by the latest fighting? >> it is very much at stake. you know that the conclusion of the peace process in southern sudan and coincides with the exit of the lra for northern uganda and peace in the south is synonymous with peace in the north of uganda. so for uganda i think right now you can say there are three important elements of the situation in the south. one is peace in the north, the second is security in the south, of course the considerable economic interest in the south because sudan, south sudan that is is under a very important economic partner to uganda especially during peace time. >> reporter: if this drags on what does that mean for uganda, or isn't a peace deal coming

soon? >> everything is hinged on a peace deal and possible transition of government in southern sudan. the cost of the rebellion is huge for the treasury and painful for the families of those who lost their lives and men and women in the south. and i think that there is no illusion on the part of uganda authorities that a peace deal is to be best food forward. >> reporter: thank you so much. >> thank you very much. >> reporter: libyan jets attacked targets this the south of the country after gunmen stormed an airforce base and ground troops sent in and follows days of skirmish to those loyal to them and the army has been sent to restore order and we have the details. >> reporter: the decision to send troops to the south came as

it's a very tiny portion of people has already been said and white educated middle class. i suspect it will stay that way if for no other reason that british people and europeans and also americans don't like to identify themselves as atheist because it sounds a bit negative but perhaps this is trying to get rid of some of the negative connotation. perhaps i'm too british to find the idea of having a sing along on the fox song on sunday morning attractive and if i were an atheist i would like mine for sleep rather than going out but do you know what again people do what they do and if they enjoy it it's fine but the core of religion that people want and need is the relationship with god and that is missing if nothing else from this. >> reporter: and in eastern europe many of those who do believe have been celebrating the orthodox christian epiphiny and the baptism of jesus in the
