a sleeve big mosque and sponsors small souls have come here to pray. right here right to show three. assemble one of them what i'm going to light move on to get to i've already thought. i was there if she did see was there already here globally most of of disgust of my life in europe because. i was there all day was the most complete human pride was a. part of my family for months here and it's not like because you never see

you going to put it to the side of my thesis just to go off and let me get let me just be in the music for more of me buying something more than yourself more through it you've been seeing here and there by six in the same month five years. forward you're right it was a you come across number one but you still miss them is all right simplistically spot. is going to you should know you know my space give someone out on your book about wanting to use your ball my human for what. you need. me mostly. i said to the north caucasus where dozens of small muslim nations try. to co-exist

with russia. one of them the russian autonomous republic of dagestan is it so home to some thirty distinct ethnicities. deadpanned in ancient city in southern dagestan once had an arabic name. the gateway. is through this city bordering on today's azerbaijan that islam started to spread into what is now russia as early as the seventh century. and millenium later russia now and powerful empire conquered dogs down after a long and brutal war. kasia muslim culture survived in the russian empire listserv each union and putin's russia mixing with some customs from russia's norm.

at the nineteenth century to my mosque. told me about the legendary leader of dug a stone a mom sharmeen who fought the russians but then made peace with the. what was the story they made. which. is just. a book or book. and. spoke when they call me. and. i was very encouraged to hear a young muslim from their band be so positive about our coexistence in the russian federation especially because they know that many ethnic. a prejudiced against

a muslim compadres from the caucuses. on the second day. i was honored to be invited to a mountainous village known for its long tradition of silversmithing. the regime. i'm doing. ali big time himself a simple smith took me to his cousin's house with a large extended family have gathered for a lavish celebration. try something more good you know quick that some choice i would rather who thought this was a big room and it will be ok. to look in because i didn't go there will remember three minutes of william go through

to know that some of this was renewal it only took a joke slower the symbol was then the. sum of. the whole sum however it is the truth for the bottles. of. cristal mostly yet it is good to be teach. a. bit. more about the most to you what is most to you when you're just a book in school girls mostly serious he says the fiscal issues and it's. more scorches consider just good luck tricia of course had an orange i'm going to go look in a quarter of the for your more scorching for the first year but in the distance and by this winter's. so let's go see this is something for you or.

i believe is sincere in saying that there's no conflict between his darkest tiny identity and his russian citizenship. i wonder if everyone in this small but ethnically complex republic has as happy about the coexistence of their culture with the russian state. twice since the fall of communism twenty five years ago russia has mounted brutal military campaigns in chechnya dagestan in egypt neighbor and a fellow muslim nation in the caucasus. dug a stock has its own chechen minority since putin defeated independence fighters in chechnya and installed a pro russian veto that pockets of resistance to moscow rule on may be active in

dagestan. and. you know i didn't want to. you know until. monday and. that. is because. if things are going. for fish the sycamores from a burning. man who was in the armed resistance or as they say in the forest for a year agreed to talk to me. the person of the most is the.

first person. in the room with through at the mercy. of. the we were the. principal. just literacy in the pool for business just there was a clear stand. that was. the story there was a boost just. so americans let us hear them and then we're going to do like i'm doing enough things a business of stone or this for a little skiff storm. and it's not. just almost alone number at this. moment only more of a bust a move i mean what is the core of this cause that much of what's what you let's say coast to actually release is like it was just to put the seemed in the priest room

where i'm sitting there just being true to the building should it be to the extent it astonished that it's their nation to do that it could go on or in that where you were. the only woman to do that but they do know that in their useful. and shook up over a new it gives them some. units to go to. when we do the same thing was you know that people will think this will run with us because it has to spinsterhood been a. huge issue is that it's in the. shop and bathroom and. arnica mushroom one and you know underneath all the books oh i don't know. any of the above that. was the first or the next month it's fortunate that i didn't. want to get the pretty much the sort of

the good. fortune if bestowed for exhibit. which removed it that's when it was only after the first do it through. the window poach the same crooked to me which there's a risk to me is that it's right but just the thought of same in the loop of the book. is don't get the destroy it just missed the degree. that this thing isn't. through little more launch workers from the greens. the good it is being used to just. big you stand in the wisdom and how could anything if it could get old and look over good for good it through which you can use for building a new jury could the true the. east and the shameful though that the boy is no. need look. the keys are going to look for never mind you freeze.

over go to undermine their thoughts their bullshit is so the most level because it was. merely measures which are. a bit over go at us where sim is still discussion soil much the smug ways we need bush for going to the potential social. what would have been spirit world almost total. he could just put them in this could go team just. could become used to. work and it's because of that but that that's a grim a reason. if the woodson. shit is an illusion. company which of the cousins insure the cars are on your watch and you could also see them if so look at the photo.

we're trying to get through to the village of gary the home of douglas town's nineteenth century leader. and today the epicenter of tensions between muslims and federal forces and our guest on. the recent leader of muslim resistance. also known as. this. is from here as well. we're stopped at a checkpoint the guards identified as journalists and we're not allowed through. so we're told just missing from the embassy federal security service.

but you're right if it isn't. me you mean yes you might. i mean yes he might what's the matter with that if. i'm one of the enormous number of sophism first of worth so. little by surprise. that it. was. that it. was it was. not allowed to get through. because there's a danger that might be kidnapped by some salafist. terrorists according to

their skills so just to talk. with might be able to keep me on my last. checkpoint. pentacle words i don't pay attention to the at this peace warning i wonder if a safety is the real reason for keeping us journalists away.

off to a few detours we managed to get through to village a frame in which like gary has been subjected to several so-called anti-terrorist operations. the army and security forces are looking for seventeen resistance fighters including their bita. a year later the villagers are still grieving for what they feel is barbaric aggression. and some in the past a bunch of generic this and i. know what unsubtle mr burton class on bullish show was tasha but i took a bow message on your one is that there are but bush gets to turn into a new home when the new cuts in the islamic press at the moment that i'm going nuts in the polling one year will screw to learn or who should decide to miss it so on per person posts a plug should be

a starter pup last start but. not supplying is still the. well deserved i can go to those days plus looking to leave them time by god with us that we can get something abou whether that's a planet that's a pretty big star scam now that they'll become a good one then there are three shining tech with either of the skills clear that you can just reject that dangerously go on that i knew that would really well that's a. good sign i mean if i didn't that's a question what's taking the time you think you would on bali's the one that. was like them i think of them as a battleground of the playing. of a mother with so little that still goes yes. this is just it so missed not just in the world. of the show yeah.

me neither is the mere quota regarded as. such an umpire stuck to their. well. if you were looking at this from the outside you would really wonder what was going on what is this gross is a religion that they have an in-depth exploration of global capitalism and our obsession with economic growth this is still the center of capitalism there is no limits i view myself as a capital artist we are trying to break the world smaller and smaller we don't want to be realistic in the world we would rather have a fantasy growing pains on al-jazeera the latest news as it breaks the different

is that in both bottles ossified this that authentic in the roots with the this time though truth truth is truth. with detail coverage has already said that he's ready to take over as interim president and calls for you elections. from around the world volunteers are doing what they can that's not the point behind the government's decision to criminalize homelessness in hungary. i'm sami's say that with a look at the headlines here on al-jazeera now at least five people have been killed in an attack on america and kurdish forces in northern syria a car bomb went off near the entrance to the city of us should be in the house countryside last week four u.s. troops were killed in the attack by fighters. as war. this is

significant because this is the second entire on u.s. forces and their allies in northern syria in a matter of a week and this is coming on the heels of president donald trump announcing that he will be pulling out his troops from syria and confirming that isis has been defeated a view that has not been shared by many commanders inside the u.s. military at least for syrian soldiers have been killed in israeli airstrikes on iranian targets in syria video posted to social media appears to show missiles intercepted near damascus russia says during those strikes early on monday syrian air defense destroyed more than thirty cruise missiles and guided bombs on sunday israel said it in the sense that a rocket fired at the golan heights from syria israel's president said the strikes were retaliation against iran. very. close

i mean.

because these. in the awful lot of i just said. and i have to tell. you as i believe this mr and i would hope that it just has to be kicked. on. but is that genuine that it. did to us thank god a fanciful and yet considering some of the time. but that is projected out is bigger than your ideas this. is to simply read would.

be used to share to. notice to me. but i was for this i'm going to go. at it. today in dagestan russian citizens of different cultures a free to follow their traditions and just. yet what is freedom for some is a moral challenge for others. that freedom may be seen as an imposition by bullies especially in regions once added to the empire by force.

brutal occupiers for some he read defenders from others in mainland russia on the settling of beds a sentiment of fervent loyalty and even poetry. that turn fans like this one in the west in siberia. if you need a guild bury. it. in his name. but this. is must. live up to. the good morning to. you.

ponder dos q since he no longer shares the government's version oh. the events would be a great. coach because we're so good he'll she thought means more to us but who. grew from a dream bilbo's of sitting here with. you. and your should push for just it's almost no budget oh that's it nico i just thought it was that thanks to all those cute thumb butte or cool little school in the city that would give you. more you couldn't pull the movie stupid or the. accuser to putus lansky but then you. know it was is this still a. good attitude. to schools would most ational schools over.

your political solution to a stroller but in a little small way they can see any other home would all of us we should be built on thank you i believe you know the good old lady and you. being so good to the senior. folks of your hole and we will pollute your true cool too close to more immediate for them those who are born as the coca-cola morning is for middle school pushing out of your old so the old thing you saw put any of the worlds there. for them when you had to pull the usual so they seal up the bill of a quote of to which he took this line mulching and there you go a little if you will get it if you close up of the blue is an inch goes to show you . where it is possible to both m g n e being a miles the desert has put a muzzle on for the middle of the city budget on top of all he took over the device

you want us all for your bullshit us but we should have done was on those up all the ships bullshit folks what is. the best. somebody had merely seeing someone to the letter see janja in the night she chose on bush's mistake but on some laws against the she is. dreaming and they all play it all chance think it's a bush for the show eighteen years could be a blow in your sleep but it's going to the bushel that i'm sure. you've been opposing since library door been opened but it's still with us multiple more a month with them so i just can see of choices for me what we have you know bickering you see me able look at the moment is still a little stiff likely chip or the thumb all the cues are a bit of a cushion for the residual mental. boot business from the u.s.s. cole to bush it was a duty even while you belittling it on top of me

a bit of the beautiful in the overblown sizzling buildable of know what i need to give you a deal. more . at this. she. going to use before proposals go into something you would come up with something good live in the muslim school mostly to duty and a little bitterness through one post but i think the signature if you're into the course is all just. as.

bonded don't ski first hand account all these war experiences may be troubling for the man of the street. many of my fellow russians prefer a more simplistic view of the world and its politics. because of the image door of them with others of. the adoption of races i knew. i could ask the question on more of my service we would only look at the little boy members here in the in the city. near me as it is a given going to stand up or go at the national guard or the hearse no one else but i was if there is a new yorker good ups then use one of them on one of. the grants and of course i'll go through. the way the goods are here during our order then you're one of the ones who was the most generous. i think. i see via the washing in that.

the military is one of the favorite pastimes for ordinary russians. i test one of the latest rifles from the famous kalashnikov company in the devil. despite western sanctions russia remains the second largest arms exporter in the world it has the world's best and largest fleet of tanks and the most sophisticated anti-aircraft defenses but those second american might on many counts russia is a formidable military force and an extremely proud one at the same time it sees itself as a benign power that uses force only in defense it will never admit to being an

empire its in numerable nations are supposed to be equal and happy to be part of a great country someone i met here alan has here from a city in the north caucuses express that view with astounding directness never. to me option that's not even about the i'm going to sell you live i'm not sure if i will need a god that is a male one. that. feels really was what should i go usually don't worry it is the one. not only totally noble genuine. was more this did. the deal. so to no media and. such because at your age and praise for our state doesn't tell the whole story. in the next film of the series will deal with the culture of open to keep it dark at pages about history. as for the future it seems likely that

the next generation will share the uncritically proud view of their homeland that prevails today. russian filmmaker andrina christoph explores how putin's russia impacts the very values of the nation the russians are famous for their cultural legacy but can traditional and conservative be the source of stagnation and authoritarian rule why his own c.u.z. waited by the police to seize ukraine said homosexuality is the significance of who came to the russian elite is that he was like a fake you who controls the cobra in search of putin's russia on al-jazeera.

by the springtime flowers of a mountain lake. to the first snowfall on a winter's day. hello there the heavy rain has finally eased across parts of south america for the northern parts of argentina uruguay and into brazil has been incredibly wess over the past few weeks but now the cloud has fizzled out so they'll just be a few more showers as we head through the next few days but the showers of move their way towards the north and now and they've lost their intensity say far more bearable here instead the what the weather is for the north across the amazonian base and where you'd expect it to be at this time of year and we'll still see

plenty more showers here as we head through the next few days now for the north and across the central americas we have this little area of cloud this is a cold front that's gradually sweeping its way towards the southeast behind it it is bringing in the corner so the temperatures are dropping for some of us twenty three degrees there in the bahamas and we're also seeing that rain just nudge its way across parts of southern chiva there as we head through monday that will also be affecting us in parts of jamaica but look what happens to it don't choose they don't breaks up and war of us will enjoy a dry a day for north america where we've had morning ted. in the east that has now cleared you can see it on the satellite picture as it moves away towards the northeast but now we're seeing more cloud work its way in from the pacific this is bringing us a lot of snow and as it sweeps its way eastwards we'll see more of that wintery weather and it's also turning bitterly cold for many of us the weather sponsored by qatar and he's. talked to.

you personally one of the main beneficiaries is that the case listen for you one relation with india that's what exactly my point we meet with global newsmakers and talk about the stories that matter. every. this is al-jazeera. hello i'm sorry say that this is news hour live from coming up in the next sixty minutes under attack a suicide car bomb in northern syria targets american and kurdish forces. a stern

warning from israel's prime minister to anyone who threatens them hours after launching air strikes in syria. the shock for the world's second largest economy growth in china falls to a twenty eight year low as the trade war with the u.s. starts to bite and sport three time champion saudi arabia had been knocked out of the asian cup japan beating them one yell to reach the quarter finals of the chinaman. us and kurdish forces have been attacked in northern syria is yet another escalation in a turbulent twenty four hours in the ongoing conflict because dish why p.g. said the suicide car bomb exploded near the entrance of the city of a showed that the bomb went off as a u.s. patrol passed by but there were no u.s.

casualties this comes as prime minister benyamin netanyahu warns iran that it will face consequences for threatening to destroy israel remarks came just hours after israeli jets launched nighttime air strikes against what it described as a rainy and weapons depo xin damascus russia says thirty israeli cruise missiles and guided bombs were shot down by its advanced air defense system another reminder of the challenge facing newly appointed united nations special envoy to syria met with russia's foreign minister in moscow and we have several teams covering this story so in a hole there is in beirut rory chalons is in moscow harry force it is in latin israel kimberly is in washington d.c. first let's start with binge of aid is on the syria turkey border what more details are coming out about the attack on the casualties of. the

u.s. led coalition about what happened and they told us that this was a convoy a joint convoy of u.s. and kurdish forces this is passing through. and that's where it came and retired a car bomb targeted it is interesting that it is in a matter of days that the second time u.s. and kurdish forces have come and retired just a few days after president dollar time declared that i still has been defeated in syria and his forces will be pulling out it is all happening on the border between turkey and syria very close to the turkish border problems of. where this attack took place a the turkish president has been speaking to the u.s. president he called them last night they had this conversation about what are the one says is an attempt to derail the u.s. pullout this is how he described the previous attack in the city of miami beach which was the deadliest yet on u.s. forces where at least four u.s. personnel including two minute feed members were killed so now as the rhetoric that

we see. today great to have out of the gun has told a local audience that turkey will be monitoring closely of promises that turkey has been made to be made to turkey are kept he will he also said that turkey is also almost repaired to carry out an operation on the eastern part of the euphrates river that is going to be the safe zone which has regrouped heard so much about between turkey and the united states in case the u.s. forces pull out and he also says that he will not let this become another repeat of what the u.s. did in northern iraq. date from the ground babbitts go over the company how could she's live for us in washington d.c. we've been mentioning can believe this is what the second attack in just a few days and it comes after that announcement by the u.s. president saying he wants to withdrawal from syria is this going to increase on him to. the pressure on him to change his mind. there are many

who will use this as an opportunity to criticize donald trump he has been criticized widely for having no strategy when it comes to syria beyond the withdrawal something that even his own policy advisers have been walking back in recent days whether secretary of state mike pompei o or the national security advisor john bolton who have all been attaching conditions to withdrawal in order to stretch out the timeline but the president continues to press forward with the sort of surprise december nineteenth announcement that two thousand u.s. troops would be withdrawing and it's unlikely to change even as there has been now another report of at least one u.s. soldier that has been injured in this latest attack what we see here essentially as we know that the president has been talking with turkey's present. about this is that there are ongoing to get ongoing negotiations that are underway as both sides

have advocate for their own security interests and well the united states and turkey continue to do that there certainly is pushback here in the united states in terms of support for the president's withdrawal you have to remember that we are heading towards a presidential election of twenty twentieth's seems a long way off but already there is campaigning underway in donald trump campaign to end the so-called endless war so well you see many saying in criticizing this withdrawal many of those interests tend to be the military industrial complex that generates a lot of wealth from ongoing wars but it's not always the view of the american people so as we see these casualties the bodies coming back certainly there isn't happiness there is sadness over that but it many ways underscores sort of the broader feeling of the american public that they don't want to see more american lives lost defending interests that may not be in line with american interests all

right let's kill. let's continue this though with harry force and he joins us now. in israel unlike perhaps in the past where israeli attacks of been treated with silence or policy of ambiguity in this case israel very quick to announce its responsibility how is that being interpreted. we have that ambiguity policy wasn't in in force one hundred percent of the time israel has claimed or admitted to strikes on occasion in the past but certainly there seems to be an increased pace and overnight israeli military talked about confirmed what it was doing in real time as these three waves of strikes we're told took place strikes against munitions sites against intelligence sites and against a military training camp or all iranian targets israeli military said and when

those attacks came under counter fire from syrian air defenses syrian air defenses were targeted as well now this follows what took place on sunday when there was another round of israeli airstrikes targeting an area near the damascus airport or in the damascus airport and there was a missile israel says launched by the iranian quds forces inside syria a surface to surface missile targeting israeli occupied territory in the golan heights that was intercepted by israel's iron dome and there was speculation that there would be a response from israel and indeed it came in the small hours of this morning here just north of a lot in the timna valley where he came to to open this new airport the ram on airport the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu had this to say at little earlier. images alone. we don't allow such acts of aggression to go on answered as

iran attempts to establish itself militarily in syria and in the face of iran's explicit statements that it intends to destroy israel we act against iran and also against the syrian forces that either iranian aggression whoever tries to harm us we will harm them we're going to whoever threatens to destroy us will bear the full responsibility. so this comes just eight days since the last time benjamin you know was publicly talking about an israeli strike a much more low key strike that time a couple of fridays ago and that was the same weekend that the outgoing military chief got eyes and caught was detailing in much more color and information exactly what is really been up to over the last few years talking about hundreds of air strikes really talking up the success as he was putting it all of those strikes against iran so it is a real change in that the kind of way that israel had been talking about so we're not talking about what it was doing inside syrian territory there are two

explanations being posited largely here in israel for that one domestic politics we've got the elections coming up on april ninth benjamin netanyahu is under serious pressure over multiple corruption investigations a possible recommendation for indictment from the attorney general coming up before those elections so perhaps that serves his political profile to be seen to be strong and in favor of israel's security as he has sold himself to so long also potentially the military wants to talk about what it intends to do against iran inside syria in the context of the u.s. pull out ahead of potentially further increasing that action there is a risk attached to all this this greater openness does give israel's foes the opportunity to strike and potentially escalate but that's a risk that apparently the israeli military and government deem worth taking. how many forces updating us with the perspective coming beth israel nikolai circle of is a professor at the moscow state institute of foreign relations he says syria's use

of advanced russian missile defense systems serves as a warning to israel the same situation we had a year ago when there were massive israeli strikes and moscow always stressed that new modernized russian weaponry systems were used against israeli missiles first of all not against planes but mostly against israeli cruise missiles so i think just now moscow is now also warning that russia can easily can easily prevent those strikes if it decides to use its more sophisticated systems so russia is trying to signal that israel must be cautious and not to overstrain this kind of blanched it has at the current stage but. clearly moscow doesn't want another. plane being downed so i think israelis will be much

more careful careful when they work or strike in the areas where russian military personnel might be especially in lattakia or to the new u.n. envoy to syria is in russia where he's meeting with the foreign minister sergei lavrov last week again pedestals visit to damascus this to damascus rather for the first time said he's interested to hear the u.n. envoy position on the syrian constitutional committee that's meant to draft the country's new constitution so talk to roll the challenge now is live for us in moscow so what's coming up in those talks. well look i don't think this is going to result in any massive steps forward for the peace process for syria this is primarily a meet and greet basically with get a better son who's been in his job for two weeks now coming to.
