indulge your five senses news has never been more available but the message is a simplistic and misinformation is rife the listening post provides a critical counterpoint challenging mainstream media narrative at this time on al-jazeera. pakistan calls in the army to restore calm after more than one hundred fifty people are injured in violence between the police are really just

a test of. our own citizens and this is al jazeera line from london also coming our target suspected fighters after the mosque attack in sinai that's killed hundreds of people the cull continues in the way with finance minister ignatius trumbo detained until monday for his bail hearing on corruption charges and fear and distrust how many refugees are reacting to a deal that could see them returned to me. the army has been called in to restore order to the pakistani capital islamabad after more than one hundred fifty people were injured in violence between place a religious protesters earlier riot police fired tear gas. under water cannon at

highways including the grand trunk road that connects the north to the south as well as the motorway that connect this lombard to the provincial capital of the punjab the whole all are jammed people are stuck on the highways take an art move because all the able to take trains have been taken over by the protector and then we have also been told that the protesters are now back in strength at the same place where the security forces primarily the police where they tried to get across them are near this morning so indeed a crisis situation head and the military now being called in for the protection of islamabad but this is a situation that has been mishandled by the government that disqualified prime minister of the country had called all of his party workers and members including senior ministers for the meeting and it all was probably it was brewing in the city of karachi in islamabad so it appears that the government had miscalculated they did not know their strength of the reaction that would happen and on forward on the

streets across pakistan indeed a crisis situation one that age threatening to spiral out of control that is also talk that the form a interior minister's house was attacked the law minister who's resignation that people have demanded and also being attacked and of course that the government and all sorts of trouble. staying with pakistan washington says it strongly condemns the release of her fists the suspect behind the two thousand and eight mumbai attacks and says the decision will affect u.s. pakistan relations the founder of the armed group. has a ten million dollar u.s. bounty on his head he was put under house arrest in january after years of living freely in pakistan officials say he's being released because the government has failed to provide any evidence against him has repeatedly denied involvement in the mumbai attacks.

egyptian prosecutors say gunmen who stormed a mosque in sinai were carrying and i sell flag officially there is still no claim of responsibility but egypt's military has already begun bombing targets part of a pledge by president abdel fattah el-sisi and those behind the attack would not go unpunished more than three hundred people are now known to have died in the attack in bear the worst in egypt's modern history hanna hochstein reports. the egyptian military has released this footage which it says shows its warplanes hitting targets in the sinai it's part of its crackdown on suspected fighters after friday's devastating attack these targets the military says are believed to be housing or storing ammunition linked to those who attacked the mosque president abdel fattah el-sisi has promised to use brutal force and an iron fist against

those responsible for what he called a heinous act of terrorism he also declared three days of national mourning this is the worst attack in egypt's recent history apart from the devastating loss of life people here a feeling angry to. before anything thought our leadership because our leaders haven't taken decisive decisions with respect why because this isn't the first time this has happened and it's in a mall so that's. the brotherhood is giving money to these people they're spending all of them there helping them who else is going to help them this is the mosque that was targeted in the troubles northern part of the sinai it's used by sufi's members of a mystic movement within islam the attack began shortly after the noon worship started in the mosque was four witnesses described how between ten and twenty masked gunmen were

a military. form stormed the mosque using rocket fire grenades and automatic weapons it also blocks the escape route local reports described how the government surrounded the mosque outside to mow down any survivors as well as those who are rushing to the scene to help this thirteen year old described how he survived. i was outside the mosque and suddenly i heard gunshots inside i saw them running and i went inside the mosque i found all of the people climbing on top of each other they were trying to get out of the mosque because they were afraid and i was trying to get out of bullets and my like no one has claimed responsibility for the attack but immediate suspicion has form a local i saw linked armed group analysts say the heavy handed military response could potentially lead to more unrest you saw at the beginning of fomenting of a cycle of violence of state repression targeting these groups through arbitrary arrests leading to them for mounting a cycle of violence. meanwhile the president has launched

a thorough investigation of the families of the victims gather to bury that kind of . egypt is also securing its borders the planned reopening of the rafa crossing into gaza is now delayed until further notice it was expected to open temporarily on saturday but it's then put on hold egypt has kept the crossing largely sealed off since twenty thirteen while the army fights in the area and last says thirty thousand people have been waiting to cross earlier to make the kaldis from the tougher institute for middle east policy soldiers there at the military approach in sinai has not been effective. in the in the case of sinai the military has had a pretty active tempo of counterinsurgency and counterterrorism operations for quite some time and as yesterday showed it hasn't been enough to stop this sort of thing from happening and for us to continue to escalate. its tactics in the

mainland the government has been fairly successful at bringing down substantially the number of attacks however sinai has remained a different challenge. i think that the question that needs to be asked is when will the military and the government review its strategy and look to have a more sophisticated and mixed approach to counterinsurgency the military strategy alone has not been and has not been adequate and so it's time to examine what other options are available and how to win over the local population and help deny isis safe haven and the ability to move more freely. iran's president has reassured his syrian counterpart bashar al assad that will stand by him and the syrian people in the fight against terrorism and the efforts to rebuild the country iranian media is reporting has on rouhani told his syrian counterpart in a phone call that talks at the leaders summit in sochi was a right step at the right time for the future of syria it comes as iran russia

turkey hold a trilateral meeting at the summit this week for a major diplomatic push was made to and the six year. turkey says he expects u.s. president donald trump to stick to his promise not to supply weapons to syria and kurdish fighters also known as the white beach on friday turkish president ratchet type held a phone call with trump in which the u.s. president reportedly gave an order that weapon should no longer be supplied to the white the white house later issued a statement only say it would quote make adjustments to its policy of arming allies in syria the trumpery ministration began supplying weapons to the y. p g earlier this year before the battle to retake isis stronghold of raka turkey considers the white peachy a turkish group i mean. all i'm still on the one subject that

negatively impacts our relationship with the us is the weapons that it's given to the y.p. gene lately we've seen that some armored vehicles have been supplied and our esteemed president once again reiterated his discomfort to mr trump mr trump clearly stated that he had given clear instructions that the white b.g. won't be given arms and that this nonsense should have ended a long time ago of course we were very happy with this doctors in northern syria are being forced underground because a frequent attacks on hospitals one facility has been built entirely below the surface at a secret location to treat patients injured by government or strikes some of binge of aid reports from gaziantep syria's border with turkey. farmers on the operating table because his leg was injured in an airstrike but this is no ordinary operation theatre it's hidden underground so it will survive carried . they were i'm afraid when the regime targets a hospital i lost

a member of my family in an airstrike. it's known as the cave hospital in northern thirty or so doctors are keeping its location secret for fear of further attacks by government get. they showed us photos after some of the hundred thirty five yr strikes targeted their hospital medical facilities and medical workers nowadays are far from being working an ideal situation they're suffering. one of the main challenges has to do with witnessing has been ongoing for a long time but at the same time he doesn't. doesn't stop. this is what remains of many hospitals above ground so it took months of digging five hundred square meters in the mountains to convert into frequent rooms workers then plaster the walls and bags at the entrance increased security. this is the doctor who began the project he was also killed in an airstrike last year and his colleagues continue to

face challenges. the biggest problem is the airstrikes which target civilians this hospital is theoretically safe but we expect anything from the government and it's destructive weapons making the hospital safe is just one of the many challenges most hospitals in opposition areas suffer from a lack of medicine and other vital supplies that are to emergency exits in case of any attack being underground brings the constant challenge of maintaining the floor so doctors and patients don't suffocate. we face difficulties such as ventilation and shortages of medical supplies after securing ourselves in a cave inside a mountain because health care system has been largely destroyed by six years of war preventive care units and health centers are nonexistent potentially fatal diseases are common because of a lack of vaccine. healthcare is being used as a weapon of war in syria doctors say targeting hospitals means denial of treatment

and the only option to save lives is going on the ground. zero. still to come. german chancellor angela merkel says no. to happen you government in place. because i'm going to. have time to go play golf yes. just how many president. hello and welcome back now so look at the weather across the levant and western parts of asia you see these weather systems pushing through and a lot of cold air associated with it so there is snow across some of the stands snow up through the hindu kush couple that should be drawing up and temperatures

of a return to barracks and that action coincides with a high court judgment saying it's action and taking power and putting me under house arrest was lawful but human rights watch says it's an example of the military having undue influence on the judiciary and there are legal warnings that it could set a precedent. i was a little back in his inauguration speech had to hit the ground running with a raft of measures to revive zimbabwe's shattered economy but he hasn't impressed the main opposition party he has been part of the twenty seven years of disappointment thirty seven years of the unlikely that you see is from the same boat as mr mugabe they are cut from the same tree so it doesn't matter that present what appears to be a fresh deal it remains a pipe dream the people really want to see quick or selves to change their lives.

and then they may cause a problem with the local leadership that's not concerned though that necessarily leads to hostility walking around this market in a time fails to make a pretty sight but then i'm only here for a short time and i'm not a refugee from the middle east africa or south asia or things they say very different some refugees chose to leave the prison and move to lauren months even two years ago to keep occupied such hussein worked as a receptionist at the guesthouse but he's not paid refugees aren't allowed paid work and despite being much better integrated the most he says the town for refugees isn't safe one month there will be a good anyway you will deny on my neck the. port up or. if we didn't deal with the. many refugees have similar stories drunk young men attack them among the locals most
