a crowded most killing two hundred thirty five people. i know that i'm for the steve already watching al jazeera live from london also coming up. of a segment of god promises to fix zimbabwe's crippled economy as he's sworn in as president. just be to me i'm through with me over. ground the u.n. says it's shocking and inexcusable police in papa new guinea clear the remaining refugees from an australian run prison camp. and south africa's supreme court more than doubles the murder sentence handed to the paralympian pistorius. we begin in egypt where the military has launched

a campaign in sinai off to two hundred thirty five people were killed in an attack on a most president of the hill sisi had promised to respond with the brutal force the bomb was detonated and these hackers then fired all mushed because as they fled he's talking bella bad is the worst ever in the sinai region reports. the bomb and gun attack happened during friday prayers at the other old a mosque in be an album for egypt's northern sinai peninsula local sources say the attackers planted explosives and then opened fire on worshippers while the sermon was underway. or. looks like it was. outside of our age. not really clear this motive was i know it's my responsibility yet but it very possibly. they have targeted susan the last.

night. president i'm going to put that has sisi convened an emergency meeting of security officials has that had this these tragic event act of terrorism will make us more robust more strong i was bottle against terrorism we cannot be intimidated i will result cannot be dented we would remain more united when this event you depend on army would take revenge and that will restore order and security with an iron fist in the following day for the. egyptian forces have for years battled armed groups in the country's rugged and remote sinai peninsula attacks on security forces have been frequent like this car bomb explosion the targeted a police station in a lot in two thousand and fifteen so really this i know there's been a lot of. fighting between isis and security forces there for years now and so. a lot of violence in that area as shock sets in and an

investigation begins the egyptian government has declared three days of mourning. let's speak now to omar sure he's a visiting professor of security studies at the absence of a research and policy studies and joins us live now from doha thanks for being with us on the program perhaps you could explain more about just why the sinai region in particular is so volatile. well this goes all the way back to one thousand nine hundred eighty two after the israeli withdrawals and the there was a policy toward sinai that it only was seen as a threat to cairo basically that its residents are either potential smugglers potential terrorists potential spies potential basically evil that can threaten chiral and that led them for to a campaign of violence between the security forces and. militants they had

attacking primarily civilian targets a point point two targets and. that a white crackdown over three thousand people were arrested at that point you saw many of the bedouins trying to take up arms especially the ones that were released in twenty eleven and there were direct links basically the people who were arrested in two thousand and four and then released into salvador actually break away from prison dissolved in eleven some of them were directly attacking police stations in the city and then you had basically multiple patients that were operating there in twenty eleven on words were actually to from saw the nine onwards even on the mubarak they were operating but into southern fourteen something very unique to egypt happened it was the first or local organization local egyptian organization declared its legality to an international organization. and that was the birth of sinai province in november twenty fourth and it was since then it was literally

the most powerful state actor in egypt's modern history. capable of operating in a conventional special forces like way capable of using light artillery capable of using guided missiles guided and. missiles. and fighting poppy a conventional way guerrilla warfare way but also using a long campaign of urban terrorism. today we saw basically its deadliest attack in egypt's modern history yeah i mean i know you're saying that live in the sorry to interrupt you saying that there are many armed groups operating in that region the fingers are pointing out i saw right now do you believe i saw and i still think there's a group is likely to be responsible for this attack in a c three months. it's the primary suspect mainly because this was not the first attack on targets it's the

first indiscriminately attack the way that was conducted there was no particular person conduct. targeted before that they used to target specific person from the community so that they executed two famous. before that and they had a propaganda video issued you know to show that executions they accused them of being had attacks and so on but this is the first time that they attack one mosque and two. if you order on mass and the most specifically belongs to. the. village and you know some of the leaders of province are from the same tribe so that you know the tribal called here was violated first time attack almost the first time attack on. usually the indiscriminate attacks it's either targeting cops or targeting soldiers and officers from the army or the

police or that sometimes targeting israel but the other attacks are very very discriminatory especially when it comes to informants so if there's somebody was accused to be an informant they target him they try to avoid his family or his friends or the people around him the same thing applies with some of the tribal tribes that. militia tribesmen who fight along the army they target these specific groups of tribesmen but they don't attack the whole tribe so this was this is new in terms of its lethality and in terms of the indiscriminately targeting a large section of the society a horrific attack. joining us there from doha. now history has been made in zimbabwe where the first new president in certainly seven years has been sworn into office in his inauguration speech imus a moment gaga promised to create jobs reimburse farmers whose lines were seized and

stamp out corruption he also paid his respects to his predecessor robert mugabe. was at the ceremony in harare. a new and unfolding democracy is how emerson when i describes his ascent to power even if it took a military intervention to end robert mugabe's presidency tens of thousands of zimbabweans waited for hours to watch my god was swearing into office and inauguration meant to cement the veneer of a politically driven solution from within the ruling zanu p.f. i will protect and promote the right of the people of about. the right i will work myself. with the way he. and his people. in attendance the heads of state of zimbabwe's neighbors not here though the south african and and golden president instead meeting in south africa for

a very beautiful loving country and i'm happy because over this happened without violence. was when i got a form of liberation fighter nicknamed the crocodile for his uncompromising approach to politics begins his presidency under pressure with exorbitant government spending crumbling public services and facilities and few jobs for its people zimbabwe needs its economy resuscitated and elections are scheduled for next year. but for now zimbabweans hold their new president aloft reveling in the euphoria of a second chance for me to mina al jazeera. the saudi led coalition has given permission to eighty two age ships and planes to and say yemen following international pressure. the u.s. a demanded riyad fully implemented measures to ease the blockade on yemen including steps to ensure full fuel medicine reach civilians through the un stilted flow of

a version of from you again it just here to me and drove me over the. ground and it's i mean all of my body australia's immigration minister said on friday he knew of only three very minor injuries we saw more. i was inside the detention center and i was beaten with wooden iron bars. two years ago al jazeera filmed on manna silent when almost all the refugees were still locked up the closest we got to an interview with one then was over the phone while sitting near their prison in a boat we argue we are nuts and a mouse. that refugee is now out of that prison but does not feel free. when you are free you are free living you can have a job you cannot you know make a relationship you can have a life i am still here for years and i have. still in the same situation some

refugees say they fear being attacked in the local town some have been for the main reason they refused to leave the prison was as a protest to draw attention to australia's mistreatment of them australia's prime minister in his country's capital canberra said he was glad the protest was over complying with the lawful directions of the pay injury authorities and moving to the alternative facilities available to them and that as a short. that is precisely what you should do if you're in a foreign country you should comply with the laws of that other country for refugees papua new guinea could be home for many years to come the absolute closure of the refugee prison and the eviction of all the remaining men inside won't make much practical difference to the refugees lives or their future but frustrating as government they say is a significant moment it's the clearest sign yet that they are transferring responsibility for those refugees from canberra to pack when you get in andrew

the submarine is going to be found within days that's quite an optimistic strong statement to make i guess he's under huge pressure isn't. he certainly is. the command of the navy to come up with answers as to what exactly happened because things have been fairly vague even the news that there was an explosion shortly after the last contact with the submarine on the fifteenth of november came about in a very roundabout way through. an in austria which monitors nuclear explosions this was not a nuclear explosion but they monitor the explosion pass the information on to the argentine ambassador in vienna who then relayed it to the authorities here that news was then broken to the families of the crew on thursday so they were extremely angry about the way the news came about about the whole handling of the situation and it's now thought that if there indeed was an explosion onboard there is very

very little chance of the forty four crew members having survived but as you say the search and rescue operation continues there are something like ten countries involved in the argentine authority is where the aircraft was ships with very sophisticated underwater rescue vessels trying to reach the submarine wherever that may be it's still not clear how deep it may be it was sailing at about two hundred meters below sea level but the area it was sailing in was very close to the continental shelf and it was it was moving to the east of that the sea there goes to a depth of something like three thousand meters if the if the submarine is indeed there there be very little chance of reaching its all retrieving the wreckage and of course it's just such an incredibly painful time for the families as they wait. as it's been extremely painful for the family is they've been in the naval base

behind me since the. news was announced watching and waiting there's been many false leads a lot of hope that they had in fact located this. submarine that turned out to be misinformation a very painful experience certainly for the family members but really for the whole country has been watching and waiting for news until it finally became clear on thursday there was very little chance of finding them alive at the oxygen supplies had almost certainly a ride out and now really is a case of the family members of the country mourning and then the questions being asked about exactly what happened this is a very old vessel something like thirty four years old whether that should in fact have been in service for those questions are still way remaining to be answered daniel in model plastic thank you south africa's supreme court has more than doubled up a story says murder sentence after finding the original ruling shockingly. the

research shows that more than half of chinese parents choose not to have a second child because of the lack of proper childcare how you're going to resolve not just incidence. is quite nerve wrecking it reflects the problem more serious lack of child care this is a serious social issue. now i'm and only and have put china second child policy into practice but the young parents are struggling after care worker forced their daughter to eat in the toilet at the childcare center now says she quit her job to take care of her children so that the supervision on this private kindergartens is very loose the kindergartens past that year inspections by using their connections and providing fix that if it gets they just want to gain profit instead of providing a real education lack of sufficiently trained staff is a not a problem sadistic show that for forty four million thoughtless will need daycare

are complaining of exploitation. freedom drew paul bonder to trucking over the ride with me in the throat and i love. ben to stay closer to home he became a poor trucker paid by the little he did so well he wound up leasing first one truck from his employers and then a second. family with everything that has to be moving the united states via cargo container has to be moved from poor to warehouse via trucks like these. several lawsuits now accuse the companies that dispatch those trucks on behalf of some of america's best known retailers of cheating drivers treating them as contractors with almost no labor rights withholding overtime pay and expenses and trapping them in endless leases according to attorneys representing the drivers if we have twenty different companies we. there are now. why stop it

or why is that. for boehner the lease is where he sends things weren't right when i got down to start asking questions about how much longer i have to pay to truck so that's when everything went bad once you get behind us like you're working for free and you're feeling is that they intentionally withheld work for you but what you have is definitely they definitely did it because. you know i would want to hear time about. truckers seeking lost wages go to the office of california labor commissioner julie sue. who has brought more than forty six million dollars in judgments against port trucking companies but she says that enforcement is difficult and sometimes impossible. industries which is where this chronic under capitalization and chronic wage theft we often see that when workers come forward and they follow wage claim and they win their wage claim that the employer simply close down go out of business change their name start over. hundred new name and

that makes it much harder for us to actually get the money that is. is one of the lucky ones. he got out and he managed to buy his own truck. he says the experience taught him a terrible lesson care about us as people you know we are we are humans we were just somebody to get the job done. affordable imports make it possible for americans to buy almost anything. but truckers are paying a heavy price for moving those goods for the rest of us jake aboard al jazeera long beach california. of course you can find out much more about many of the stories we are covering by going to our websites there it is on the dresses. al jazeera dot com.
