if you were looking at this from the outside it 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 pay for the world smaller and smaller we don't want to base that realistic in the world we would rather have a fantasy growing pains on al-jazeera. out. there. now. killed while celebrating sunday mass in the southern philippines at least twenty five people dead in two bomb explosions at a catholic cathedral. watching

al jazeera live from doha also ahead divisions over the power struggle in venezuela are exposed in a heated debate at the u.n. security council. process waiting for word on their loved ones distraught relatives of hundreds of people missing after brazil's down disaster lose hope also we meet the woman blazing a trail in transforming village life in the pacific island nation of want to. thank you for joining us to bomb explosions in a cafe cathedral in the southern philippines have killed at least twenty five people and injured many more there's been no immediate claim of responsibility for the sunday mass attacks on the predominantly muslim island of holo

a tory gate and b. has an eight. the first blast was inside the cathedral as worship is celebrated sunday mass that was followed by a second explosion in the car park a security forces were arriving there's been no immediate claim of responsibility they are trying to disrupt the peace process they're trying to destabilize it it's like four men being some sort of this time is a shock and to show that the government will not be able to control the area. the places that the various conflict the attack in the capital of solu province comes six days after a referendum on the neighboring island of mindanao the it is in the muslim dominated region overwhelmingly approved a deal for more self rule eighty five percent of it is back to an agreement between muslim fighters and government leaders in manila for a self administered area in mindanao which will be named bangsamoro. but voters in neighboring salue province where is rejected it there are attempts to stalk up

communal conflict but the thing is that so far none of these attacks on the churches have resulted in such type of hatred between muslims and christians. the predominantly catholic philippines has been plagued by decades of separatist conflict in mindanao more than one hundred thousand filipinos have been killed and millions displaced by the fighting despite the reconciliation process attacks like this show armed groups still pose a threat to peace in the region victoria gate and be al jazeera. holo is the capital of sulu province while its south of mindanao island is considered part of the predominantly muslim mindanao region and included in the new bangsamoro autonomous region as. linda going now in manila for as jimmy as we've heard there no claim of responsibility seo but we know that several on groups are active in

this area who could be behind this and what message are they trying to send to the philippines government. well fully the message is quite clear whether it came from a private armed group or than authority is i will say our group known to have exit given similar attacks like this the message is strong that no effort of the government for peace building that this fight the entire region of b. of mindanao be under marshall rule for more than a year and despite basically efforts to add more boots on the ground of state forces and the ground the region that the whole you are remains to be a powder keg that it's not going to be very easy for civil society groups for the more islamic liberation front in partnership with the philippine military to impose what they want basically in her law it is hard at this point of course. we have to avoid speculating about the possible motive behind this at that weight comes at

a very difficult time there is a referendum which remains to be unfinished of course the voted against it but he won't change anything simply because it is mandatory to join this new economists government it comes as the mid-term elections are going to be happening in the coming months and also as the leadership of the leadership of the philippine military continued to add boots on the ground what is critical here though is that it shows though that hold on the matter how small it seems will be harder for the miniature to control a recent statement released by the philippine government already says it will use the quote unquote crush godless criminals. those who are believed to have been purport to doug perpetrated this attacks but it remains to be seen how this can spiral out of control once the military brings in more forces how will this affect communities already bearing the brunt of this militarization and how that could

spill over to different parts of mindanao what it shows number one for lease that despite being under martial law rule and despite the million multimillion dollar intelligence funds that have been. poured over this region that they were not able basically state forces to stop this attack in hello thanks for that jamila island again reporting there live from manila thank you very much in other world news help is turning to anguish in brazil over the increasing likelihood that hundreds of people missing after a dam collapse want to be found alive so far thirty four bodies have been pulled from the muddy disaster zone after the dam next door mine caved in on friday. reports from the town of form an opinion. heavy rain only makes moretti fraught rescue operation much worse many have been saved to being cared for at this center relieved distraught concerned about their missing loved ones. the feelings that you're going to die that is the end of everything you don't know which way to run.

for the job olsen are all visited the disaster area but didn't stay long his ministers are overseeing the rescue and relief efforts. see that soon all the mud is being monitored by local and national institutions at this moment the heavy part is moving more slowly as we have several monitoring points along the river and we are tracking its movement and investigation is underway into how the dam burst releasing millions of liters of ways from the iron ore mine the owners vale expressed their sorrow they've already been fined sixty six million dollars but they were also part owners of a mine were a little over three years ago a similar downburst one thousand people were killed damage to the environment was immense we still don't know the scale of this tragedy on either the human or the environmental level what is know is that lessons were not learned from the last in november two thousand and fifteen nobody was prosecuted nobody took responsibility

many already asking whether they'll be ignored again here it's there it's disheartening it's sad what carelessness where are the authorities spare the petitions how long are people going to die for things like this how long we'll be crying for our loved ones. were sent to the morgue in search of a missing husband angelo he wasn't there but he doesn't know where he is she may never know and will join others wondering how another down they were told was safe this cause such death and destruction and danielle joins us now with the latest from daniel we're hearing of the risk of another dam rupture. you know that's what the authorities have said you can probably see behind me the only bridge in this town has been closed as a precautionary measure some people have been evacuated from the immediate zone around what is a temporary job taking some of the liquids from the original. it seems as

a risk of rupturing again so people here obviously after friday's downburst very nervous very cautious waiting to see what happened only a few emergency vehicles are being allowed across that bridge and it's sunday here is the disruption to everyday lives not immense but people here as i say very cautious very nervous how is the rescue operation going down yeah. it's an ongoing operation it's been huge it was curtailed somewhat yesterday by heavy rains today there was heavy fog in the area and for a time the helicopters were not allowed to fly over the area that is now resumed it seems. more forces are being moved to the area where the contingent of israeli troops are not in brazil. to do with. friendship with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu they are coming to this area it seems as though as each day goes by as the hours go by there's less and less chance of being survivors

thirty seven bodies have been recovered so far but we know about least three hundred people unaccounted for so as i say as each day goes by there's less and less chance of finding them some of those bodies will probably never be found so a great deal of concern a great deal of anger in the area as people wait to see what happens what emerges in the next few days yeah and i was going to ask you how we have a families of those missing are coping and what has been the why did reaction in brazil. well those families are obviously distraught or they're angry people here are talking about that also in the same state of being a short rise in the vendor of two thousand and fifteen which i mentioned in that report then nineteen people were killed there was massive environmental damage people then were talking about the worst environmental disaster in brazilian history this one looks like it's one of the terms of casualties it's already

surpassed that it is going to surpass it quite substantially people are asking why lessons were not learned there's something like seven hundred or so dams around brazil which the experts say it risks the budgets for investigating for inspecting those dams was cut substantially by sixteen or so percent last year it does seem as if this government has put the emphasis on profit and development of industry rather non safety measures so those families and others in brazil are saying that emphasis needs to change we need to be talking about safety and security ahead of profits and developments of industry thank you for that daniel schorr i'm never reporting there live from. venezuela's president and his supporters have denounced moved from some european nations which they believe are part of efforts to topple him spain germany france and britain have set a deadline for nicolas maduro to call new elections within a week if he doesn't they say they will join the u.s. in recognizing opposition leader one ground zero as the interim president.

the european union say they've given us eight days to call for elections. when israelis don't take orders from anybody. a quick reminder now of who's backing home in this political crisis russia says any moves to remove nicolas maduro from power are illegal while turkey and china are also standing by him mexico with a newly elected leftist president is recognizing the door as leadership for now but doors allies bolivia cuba and nicaragua say they remain committed to him canada meanwhile has joined the u.s. in backing opposition leader one and a host of latin american countries are also supporting him as the interim leader and as we mentioned the united kingdom spain germany and france say if the dura doesn't call elections they swing the behind quite oh my can i reports now on how these divisions played out at the united nations. a highly unusual we can search.
