stories just mended yesterday were in-depth enemies and we don't feel in favor. across the globe. from mother to daughter an ancient craft kept alive by a bustling matriarch. from start to finish. all traditions intertwined with new designs making this family's place unique into a rich tapestry. the threads at this time on a. egypt

val's fierce action after a bomb attack on a mosque in sinai kills at least two hundred thirty five people. hello again everyone i'm come on santa maria this is the world news from al-jazeera . we ask those who have families in the past. that they cannot make any political sense you're going to. zimbabwe swears in its first new president in the seven years and he is promising sweeping changes in argentina a submarine is still missing and hopes for a happy ending a quickly fading and after years of court fights and delays the u.s. tobacco industry is forced to fund antismoking investments.

so at least two hundred thirty five people killed in what is being called the deadliest attack in egyptian history gunman bombs and then opened fire at a mosque in the north sinai town of. in the latest in a string of attacks by armed groups there egypt is launching a military campaign now in sinai president of the fact that he declared three days of mourning and then pledged to respond with brutal force and egypt is securing its borders we have the planned reopening of that rafah crossing with gaza that's not happening now delayed until further notice mohammed with the details. the bomb and gun attack happened during friday prayers at the other older mosque in 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 a. outside of. not really

clear motive was i know it's. very possibly. they have started to use the last. night. president i'm going to put that has c.c. convened an emergency meeting of security officials hasn't had this these tragic event act of terrorism will make us more robust more a strong of a battle against terrorism we cannot be intimidated i will result cannot be dented we will remain more united hello we need to bend egyptian army will take revenge and they will restore order and security with an iron fist in the following day. 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 i know there's been a lot of. fighting between isis forces there for years now. and. a lot of. area as shock sets in and an investigation begins the egyptian government has declared three days of mourning. and. the thoughts now of on what i'm sure who is with the arab center for research and policy studies here and he told us isobel's influence has changed the nature of attacks in the sinai. into southern fourteen something very unique to egypt happened it was the first all local organization local egyptian organization declared its legality to an international organization and us and that was the birth of sinai province in november twenty fourteen 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 party in a conventional way partly in a guerrilla warfare way but also using a long campaign of urban terrorism so that you know the tribal code here was violated the 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 the militia tribesmen who fight along the army they target these specific groups of tribesmen but they don't attack the old 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. after thirty seven years as we has a new leader. who was sworn in on friday in harare he has promised to create jobs and to compensate white farmers whose lands were seized and he also paid tribute to robert mugabe and was forced to step down from the tamil reports. a new and upholding democracy is how innocent when our god was describes his ascent to power even if it took military intervention to end robert mugabe's presidency tens of thousands of zimbabweans waited for hours to watch magog was swearing into office an inauguration meant to cement the veneer of a politically driven solution from within the ruling zanu p.f. party was again not to be processed. we can

do in the present and huge your. nation a different person. when i was promised to implement economic reforms that would appeal of the lives of millions of zimbabweans left jobless in a battered economy and work toward stimulating local industries as well as compensate the white farmers for the land they lost under previous policies has also vowed to fight corruption tall order given the corruption allegations faced by many members of his ruling party often from politicians we have learned that there is a gulf between what they say and what they actually do this in government that is coming from from the same party that elites know from his people two million jobs and really did in those years of need to create. enjoys for military backing from the same army that in two thousand and eight intervened in elections lost by mcabee ensuring he stayed in power one of the major things that we were going to know is

that we are faced with an election and what happens if this new president loses that election the military be able to hold their noses a stink about it and say we respect the will of the people when gaga has promised free and fair elections next year he still has u.s. sanctions hanging over his head from his time as serving the regime for what it called acts to undermine democracy but when i got worse as now is the time to reengage with the west for people here president was certainly made all the right noises talking directly about the needs of everyday zimbabweans has moved away from traditional political issues instead addressing people's concerns about his presidency but the worry is that zimbabweans could one day face a crisis of expectation with apparently well intentioned economic and political plans unlikely to work overnight from either miller al-jazeera harare zimbabwe or.

many in zimbabwe never imagined robert mugabe would ever step down how do we chance has been speaking to people in harare about their hopes now for the country and the president. everyone you talk to here says they expected robert mugabe to die in office not resign after the military intervened they had it been said every day on state t.v. they started to believe it. but now mugabe's former right hand man ima said when i got why isn't always a new president after decades of economic stagnation high unemployment and political repression people have high expectations when we grew up and going to school in the ninety's we had everything i mean agriculture the drive down the roads down the highways it was. everything happening he went to the industrial areas there was smoke coming out now when you go it's dilapidated there's nothing going on there so we want to see that again just a very vibrant. oh when i got close close ally say they are confident

the rulings on a party will work with opposition parties and the white community we have been reaching out to the opposition with absolute confidence that an admission is more than two hundred onan on an even keel and they are going to be well known urban our base is also reaching out to the world community they have been added to the modern economy in the new york times some of them feel marginalized we want to observe that they belong to this country that's good news to those who feel the policies hurt the country economically many people here and in the age of forty innocent and not what the new president will say or the right things will be jobs life will improve for the poor people of course is optimistic you know change if it happens will take some time no one knows how long it'll take for the economy to recover some people say it's too late for them they believe they will always be poor but they hope their children will have a better future i'm good four years old i was born three years after independence

an explosion close to its last known position. it's a difficult moment for everyone and obviously especially so for the family of the forty four crew my first request is that we get through this moment on the following days with the utmost respect for the pain of the families and to them i say i'm here to guarantee we're going to continue with the search especially now that we can count on the support of the entire international community with all the technology available this will surely bring us to find the submarine in the coming days. at the naval base at montel plantar the submarine is scheduled destination. even the news that there was an explosion shortly after the arkansas lost contact with the submarine on the fifteenth of november came about in a very roundabout way through asia in austria which monitors nuclear explosions it was not a nuclear explosion but they monitor the explosion pass the information on to the

argentine ambassador in vienna who then related to the authorities here that news of them broke into 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 the search and rescue operation continues there are something like ten countries involved in the argentine authorities with aircraft with ships with very sophisticated on the water 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 the 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 summaries indeed

for one year on major u.s. television networks along with adverts in fifty newspapers. radio and t.v. ads promoting cigarettes were banned in one nine hundred seventy but the new adverts should have added years ago they were ordered in two thousand and six after the big tobacco was found to have misrepresented and deceived the american public about the effects of smoking by a federal judge they brought appeal after appeal after appeal. contesting every issue they could think of to try to delay the time when they would actually have to be forced to tell the truth to the american people. campaigners are skeptical as to the difference these ads will make partly because the media has changed so much over the last decade most us smokers begin as teenagers but now less than five percent of network t.v. viewers are under twenty five also the trumpet ministration is filled with those who once worked for or received large sums from big tobacco infamously vice

the public about the facts of smoking is no less today than it was ten years ago which is critically important for everybody to understand this these ads are a sharp reminder that the back of companies haven't changed their wrongful behavior that's why they continue to fight these verdicts ments even tell now out the last appeal shockingly was just over whether or not the ads would begin with the phrase here's the truth the tobacco industry still doesn't want the public to know the truth. on the us has one of the highest murder rates in the world and as voters head to the polls on sunday public safety is understandably high on the agenda the government says progress has been made in tackling it. reports many are not convinced by that. young innocent and the victims of gang violence for now with extra security forces deployed to this neighborhood children can play without watching their backs. on average more than three hundred people. and young
