embassy here in central beijing but now as you can see behind me the security lot really is basically over both the police and the u.s. embassy have now issued separate statements the police say that a twenty six year old man from inner mongolia detonated what they said was a suspicious fireworks like device they say this device injured his hands when the explosion happened he's now been taken to hospital for treatment to those injuries they won't say any more than that they won't say what his motivation was but of course he is going to be interrogated i'm sure during the days to come the embassy though use different language they say that it was a bomb that was gotten a tip outside the embassy but they also say there was no damage to the embassy after the incident we spoke to an employee of the u.s. embassy who was inside at the time she said they heard a very loud explosion just after one pm lunchtime when many people inside the

embassy were having their lunch he said that they were then taken to a secure part of the embassy by u.s. marines but i think the fact we're now being allowed to stand outside this embassy . and the police are moving us on is a measure i think of just how as i say the security alert appears now to be over if this had happened of course you know in the middle east if we had this happening in other parts of the world we would have jumped to different conclusions you could get random acts of violence here in china so helen i have reported on that but what is rare what is unusual is you get something like this happening outside one of the most secure buildings in beijing yes lots of questions to be answered by the authorities about security at the moment adrian of course we'll leave it there and follow that for the as the days progress thank you. at least eighty one people have died in greece after wildfires near athens rescuers are searching both the sea and on land as they try to track down missing people these barker reports from r.t.

political system itself in the early game. but i don't say you know i would have. been there but i'm over here and if you know your political scene almost in the fall it will be and then you know you know personally i am never. admitted to giving millions of dollars to the nationalist party to finance to complain about young. president from two thousand and eleven to two thousand and sixteen. if you only guess on google must celebrate. illegal. days. when you. were a good doing. begin occasion she called you please you can three million dollars and complain but at the city's company supported the left not only to promote other branches interest in peru but to curry favor with loyalist workers party in brazil you know what i'd wish she were imperiously key to the miracles.

iran fun came out to celebrate for them the result was pre-determined. this is the first time we've had the chance to defeat the two parties who've been in control taking turns of power. in an early morning news conference the most immediate said the election was rigged they claimed their party was targeted that voting was deliberately school down and results were manipulated. it's not about government or opposition it's about the future just going tree it's about. it's about. bog standard being. better too. it's a large issue not just the pm and then but all major political parties apart from him. every tick tick the preliminary results on thursday they will decide what to do next this was a landmark election but the civilian government handled it part of for a second time but even before voting began it was being called one of the dirtiest

elections in pakistan history and with further allegations of manipulation and a controversial vote count. may been strengthened even further. by let's go to the capital islamabad now and another our correspondents come all high to come out it sounds like this is a very precarious moment for pakistan all the plates still being counted and what are they saying. precarious perhaps because yesterday when we went around the polling station we saw a new train and train good repeated throughout pakistan in fact in baluchistan province hard where that deadly bombing it was unprecedented when large number of women came out in the rural areas toward despite that attack what the trend that we have seen here is the fact that fifty percent of the targets on the population in

less than thirty years of age what we saw was the young and particularly the women who came out and boarded in train and did the battle and what has happened to the oligarchs who have. done the politics for decades have been wiped out by a new movement so to speak one dad was inspired by the social media the awareness campaigns on the social media on the electronic media. and because the country is confronted with problems that people realized that day for change something that imran khan was all free now he had already. go ahead mark the problem is kemal is of course all the opposition parties are claiming irregularities and therefore they're calling into question this result that you told us about which might indeed represent a generational shift in pakistan. but if the if the result is not going to be

accepted by the opposition parties where does that leave the sounds election. well there definitely were. you have a relevant point this is something that everybody hated what it about but when it comes to allegations over rigging it's not something that is new in pakistani politics when you talk about dirty politics or engineering that is also nothing new in budgets on the politics back in one thousand nine hundred eighty one the country was truncated into two portions because the push their new one did election and if it's done was not given that dry heat and that led to the independence of bangladesh so their spirit is in fact good tempered good already quite high these political parties were literally daggers drawn and they were that. against the country and something that we saw yesterday we saw from various political parties

including the nationalists including imran khan's own party targeted we saw their dog or one hundred fifty people so this was not an easy election without the military were it would be impossible if the civilian administration was gone for it and now it would have had the elections on its own so there are definitely the opposition is saying that where they're going to bring to the street reports pressure and say we don't accept this election definitely in order all go well for a country which is on the brink of financial ruin and also because of the rampant corruption institutionalized corruption that has plagued this country. thank you very much come on hyder our correspondent live in the pakistan capital islamabad thank you. let's move to the middle east because the israeli military says it struck a rocket launcher in syria after two missiles fell into the sea of galilee now the

sea is close to i still held territory which is syrian government forces trying to clear this pocket pocket of law. and borders he is radio golan heights russian and syrian jets have stepped up their air campaign to try to dislodge eisel within the last four days now israel says it will act against any attempt to compromise its sovereignty will mean more mass funerals are being held for some of the at least two hundred forty victims of the coordinated us a little bit in the government held city of alsa wait the attack on wednesday involved multiple suicide bombings and similar trainees raids this is been the deadliest attack in this particular area since the war began in twenty eleven let's go live now to stephanie decker she's a correspondent in these radio golan heights quite a bit to talk about staff let's start them with the alarming. intervention

again of israel into what is essentially the syrian civil war. well there has been spillover as you mentioned those two missiles fired into israeli territory landing in the sea of galilee and yes the minute you responded targeting the launcher where it came from it does do this when you have spillover the army did say that it didn't believe that those rockets were targeting israel it was spillover because the war is so close martin we'll just show you there is the fence and then where you see you know the remnants of explosions that is the area that a group affiliated with eisel still holds this morning what we saw unfold here was the most intense battle that we've seen so far over the last we've been here for around four five days actually so i mean there's a mountain in the distance that they've just ahead and there's also been outgoing rocket fire from government troops for the first time in the last couple of days

we've seen through our lens government vehicle syrian government soldiers moving along this road which means that they are advancing from the ground so this is making a lot of headway and you can see there's multiple multiple to your right multiple hits there's been all over really at the moment we're seeing hits coming in it's very much an intensive campaign why is it significant martin because it is the last pocket of opposition in southwest syria and also another indication isn't it stephanie as to how complex the civil war in syria has become with multiple fighting forces which the government is now trying to rid itself of completely in this part of the country. yes i mean you mentioning swager earlier that's around a hundred kilometers from where we are that's an area that's been under government control for years and it really is sort of managed to stay out of the civil war and

when you had this. attack i don't know if you can hear that because it's so windy here but you know a lot of outgoing rocket launches happening. from the syrian army towards islip positions but this deadly attack where you had a suicide bomber managed to infiltrate in the center of the city you had i saw mill atones open fire at civilians families in their homes in the countryside that death toll now over two hundred forty one of the most deadliest single attacks all of this conflict martine just goes to show and question the security situation going forward as the government is taking more and more land making these deals reconciliation deals with rebels of course the dynamics have changed if you look at syria how it's become now to how it was before the war so certainly that is going to be a big concern moving forward. live in these radio. thank you. the military wing of hamas in gaza says it's on high alert after three palestinians were killed in.
