a group of young people are trying to revive a cinema going culture despite the ongoing war. at least nine people are dead after gunmen attacked a military parade in southern iran according to the revolutionary guard. the iranian state news agency says twenty people were injured at the event in the city of. the parade was being held to commemorate the iran iraq war which began in one thousand nine hundred it's not yet clear who is behind the attack let's speak now via skype from tehran to stuff a horse shares i'm a journalist and political commentator thanks very much for being with us so tell us what you know of what happened here. hello and thanks for having me

well as a matter of fact for today we're seven takio a mill and you know military parades marching go all of the respect if isis doing the war against iraq actually. before have it in just twenty people and there have been seven to nine casualties is official reports say now of the for terrorists to have been shot that apparently two others that being captured the one after being wounded that. they you know the information that we have so far i are just the spokesman has told the. iranian news agency that the terrorists were but were members of the. terrorist group the group is a secessionist movement and that's been nurtured and supported and trained and especially funded by the soul of the arabia and it's been operating for the past

several years they are looking to you know cut off work and separate iran's energy rich provinces a stone from a year run that's exactly what saddam hussein wanted to do actually reads they call him said it's out of nationalists but we know that they have very intimate. we have been a foul organization that there was organization that has been in charge of killing around twelve to seventeen thousand iranian citizens and officials and they have been both supported entering them funded by some of these according to intelligence in the last several years official reports that act. and. if it is this this group the you're talking about that is behind this attack how much significance should be attached then. to their choice of targets this parade. marking the anniversary of the start of the iran iraq war. you know this is

a very important event now because it comes only a few days maybe one or two after u.s. secretary of state. said so they are going to punish iran i'm sure any development in the region they are not going to punish any of you know being in allies like you. and others or you walk in syria it would go to strike you on the directly and only want to two days after that we see some tactic if you sell if you will help the terrorist groups are striking a deal once similar to what happened last year when the attacks on the bring in parliament as well as the holy shrine of the month i mean these are the new iran if you remember it's similar to that attack. and it's very significant because you know the bone of contention between iran and you know what some powers especially the united states is the i.r.g.c.

because i know just is oh you know responsible for iran's missile program most of your runs myside and that spans are done by our or your g.c. as well as iran's presence in the region and its influence is due to i.r.g.c. operations activities and command so if you strike at iran's military power then you have also struck that iran's power come on and its power components are mainly its nuclear program that was limited under the nuclear deal as well as the missile program and its regional clout. so these two are you know at the hands of the i.r.g.c. so when they come to lunch an attack like this the ideology see in southwest an iran in and out of a populated region in that me that there has been a bill and put out a plan in order to send a very strong message actually. so there are

a spectacular lation stupid leave now and there are reasons to believe now that. this is been an attack masterminded by the united states and the saudis especially because the attack hillary terrorists of all that was the supported by this all these you know have been recognized to have been in charge of this attack good to speak of human stuff. joining us there from tehran. now tanzania's president has ordered the arrest of the operator of a ferry that capsized in lake victoria john megaphone he has declared four days of mourning for the passengers who drowned at least one hundred thirty one people died after the crowded boat sank no dock on thursday hopes are fading for those still missing as rescue efforts turned to recovery malcolm webber has more from the ugandan side of lake victoria. the rescue operation resumed sunrise over on the

regime. program x. there were fears of a major assault against the province today there is a sense of relief following a deal between russia and turkey that will at least for the time being prevent bombing and displacement. russia and iran gave priority to ties with turkey over regaining control of its lib turkey had warned a government offensive in the province would be a breaking point in their alliance but it wasn't just that a bloodbath would hurt russia's efforts to convince the international community to pay for syria's reconstruction and support a political process that the judum ises assad's government but the united nations says there is still potential for a lot of fighting in civilian populated areas turkey and russia didn't say how they plan to implement a demilitarized zone free of so-called radical rebels but yan egeland's humanitarian task force was given some details it seems turkey backed rebels could play a role on the ground what i understand is that the so-called war on terror is not

called off in a country that will be. in the future air raids against the listed organizations there will also be fighting between on groups and activists and the so-called terrorists the so-called radicals. there is and will be many civilians in the serious. three million syrians live in atlanta half of them already displaced from cities and towns under state control for them reconciling with a government that has killed so many people is not an option they hope the international community feels the same for now the west has shown resistance to work with us had but many fear the political transition away from the syrian leader is no longer a priority for the center for their thinking. all right still ahead on al-jazeera.

have therefore we will continue to do activities and those activities have proven popular with voters for years maybe too popular a tie and its predecessor parties have won every election since two thousand and one but the military backed by some of thailand's most rich and powerful people organized to coups against them since the last overthrow in two thousand and fourteen the government has delayed a return to democratic rule several times with a tentative election date set for late february political parties are slowly coming back into the open being able to gather legally is a significant milestone for the political parties but those that oppose the military government like good tie know they still have to be very careful about what they say and any mistakes could be used against them i the new future forward party touted as a potential coalition partner for poor thai is already in trouble three party executives are charged with violating the computer crimes act for suggesting

politicians are being approached to join a pro-military party. and eight leaders of poor time were charged in may with sedition and breaking the ban on political activities for organizing a media conference to criticize the government experts say those prosecutions are a sign that the lead up to the election won't be free and fair without a lot of more to come in the sense that if. a party or any party would come across to. the who can't don't wince party that would be likely to pay to. the case to the election commission or constitutional court to the soul for their political opponents a prime minister preview is proving done not on a level playing field who led the coup isn't ruling out staying on as thailand's leader after the election. and at times he appears to be in campaign mode even though campaigning remains against the law for political parties wayne hay al

be closed you should use this be the door that it was so it was because of what i believe what happened is going on in all the museum institutions in brazil the tragedy can happen again because there's no state budget for public museums the state is not complying with its responsibilities. and. the loss of the national museum and all its treasures has prompted students. to try to save at least memories of the past the appeal to museum visitors to help build up an archive and received more than seven thousand e-mails with photos and videos of the museum collections was wrong which was. what we didn't expect this we are going to prepare an archive with the different collections to show what the museum represented to us with personal memories but all this effort to recover and rebuild will remain in digital form most of the original treasures are gone forward for many innocent just the honeydew because you. are human and may be at war but that's not stopping some
