terrorist network to the root. jessica washington has more from jakarta well what we've learned just in recent hours is that at least 19 people were injured in the attack both of the 2 bombers are now deceased one male and one female we still do not know which specific network was responsible for this attack and we don't yet know the motivation for this attack authorities are looking into the prospect of whether this attack was retaliation in light of the recent arrests that have been made against some of these violent groups in indonesia and what we do know about the group j. adey they do have a history of these attacks involving spouses involving families so this group in particular will be looked at but we do not yet know if they are responsible for this attack we heard recently from the president president dzhokhar widodo who called on every indonesian to work together to combat these violent attacks in indonesia police are still continuing their investigations into how this attack

happened but as was mentioned earlier the security landscape in indonesia has really significantly changed it doesn't mean the threat has gone right down to 0 the threat does still exist but at a much lower level than in say the early 2000 that's why we see these more small scale attacks with lower number of casualties and in many cases the fatality is limited to the bombers themselves and that is really recognition of indonesia's progress but of course the individuals in that cathedral today must be traumatized and and really fearful of what they experienced today in the intonation government says it is committed to protecting indonesians to protecting the freedom to worship in indonesia and will increase security around these places of worship in coming days but the publisher of term per one of indonesia's leading news politics magazines now he says many of indonesia's bomb because of trying to do afghanistan

and syria. because it happened again so many years and then it happened quite often maybe 20 or so years ago. and then after that there has been quite a bit of better security but now it's happening again. which is a bit worrying for us because. it happened a lot during that time when we have afghan war and a lot of indonesian were trained in afghan war about bombing but after the end of the then war there were should be ok but now each start again so we are worried . because of what happened in the syria for instance might be. connected to that one day after the brutal violence in me a man that killed 114 people protesters have turned out again across the country

determined to continue their fight against the military coup earlier security forces fired on locals trying to put out a fire in mandalay at least 60 homes were destroyed in the blaze overnight military chiefs from the u.s. and many of its allies issued a rare joint statement denouncing miramar security forces saying they should be protecting and not harming the people dozens of funerals are being held across the country on sunday demonstrators in taiwan are running to show their support for the anti cue protesters hundreds have been gathering in taipei's in liberty square for the past few sundays now they pray for those who've been killed in the crackdown and condemned the military coup 20 chang has the latest from bangkok. we've seen this again and again the military step up the severity of their crank stance they start employing more brutal tactics more brutal weapons we see the death toll increase and yet the protesters still come out they are the day after day they

aren't in it's many numbers today certainly they are keeping i think to the bank streets we've seen a new tactic of merging among the protesters to come out very early in the morning in the hope of avoiding meeting with the security services but they are making their presence felt and they're walking around and chanting the same chance they've been chanting since the military coup and that is that they want power to be returned to the people and they want their leaders their elected leaders to be released from detention this stage however that doesn't seem to be happening the military or the military in the police or security services still employing these tactics we understand there's been shooting on the streets of mandalay there was a fire overnight. local residents in the p.g. township area tried to extinguish their fire they were fired upon and couldn't get there until the blaze was so out of control that it burned down 60 houses today

people have been trying to get supplies to that area where people have lost all their possessions they have no shelter in their food they need medical supplies but people haven't even been able to get there to deliver that because the security services have the area under control. druzes the un special rapporteur on the situation of human rights bar he says the u.n. security council has to do its job and stand up for the people of me about. this is curity council of the united nations is there specifically for crises just like this and so it seems to me that the u.n. security council should take this up they should have a full blown discussion debate look at the facts and then let the members of the security council stand up and be counted on what they think needs to happen of course many think that there would be a veto likely and that may be so but i think it's important for members of the

security council to stand up and be counted because that is their job if they can't do the job if they can't stand up to the people of me and more then those countries who are willing to stand by them could should have an emergency summit in which various strategies such as who are needing the various the variety the large variety of sanctions that are in place right there we need to coordinate them focus them make them work together to have the strongest possible punch against this military junta we need to put them before the international criminal court if at all possible but we need to cut off their supply of what their of the writing of steps of the world can take but they need to take the steps and all the condemnation of the world is not going to matter very much the people of myanmar if they can't see the world standing up and acting for them as well as speaking out on behalf of this and particularly china has a direct interest here and we've heard from china expressions of concern call for

the release of political prisoners expressions that this is not what they want to see these developments are not what they want to see so these are statements that we have not heard in the past from china that we're now hearing so it seems to me that at the very least if we're putting this before the security council let china have it say let russia have it say let them stand up to be counted with or with the rest of the world. now the french energy giant total hers hold it operations in mozambique after an attack on the northern town of palmer the fighting has been going on there for nearly 5 days nearly $200.00 people including foreign nationals are trapped in a hotel the reuters news agency is reporting that some civilians who tried to escape have been killed fighting broke out in northern mizzen beacon 2017 and since then hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced in cabo delgado province parma has been seen as

a safe haven because of its near multi-billion dollar gas projects with heightened security and as many as $70000.00 people fled from other areas to the town they've not been displaced again so on wednesday armed groups entered parma forcing many to take shelter in the hotel but i think it's foreigners who worked on the gas project owned by the french company total there are reports of boats coming into shore to rescue those escaping the fighting and taking them to the provincial capital of pemba however tasa has more from harare in neighboring zimbabwe. well communication in. getting information that we can verify independently is still difficult but what we know so far from officials in the towns of this heavy attack happened wednesday afternoon armed groups into the town from different directions it seems like this was a coordinated attack they targeted a bank they targeted a business center and then they also went and targeted other areas within the actual town people in the town and in a nearby village fled into

a bush in the area some people mainly mozambican v.i.p.'s and foreigners holed up in a hotel there we told us some of them have since been evacuated the attack happened literally hours after the french company to tell announced that is using gas operations there because things have been relatively quiet so there's a theory that the attack could have something to do with that for the other theory that is just because of being quiet for a while humanitarian workers were able to bring in food and medicines in to the area to help people who knew those services so there's a theory that maybe these armed groups maybe these insurgents also targeting those supplies as well the concern now for humanitarian workers is that any military intervention of course is going to hit the people on the ground the mozambican locals who are running for their lives some of them we've been told are trying to make it to pin by the provincial capital to join thousands of others who've been fleeing from other parts of. the place getting crowded so government officials and

humanitarian workers are trying to move sound those people from pinball to other parts of the country with relief to be safe. well still ahead here on al-jazeera how coronavirus times neighboring countries in latin america nervously eyeing one another. and energy from the east how an ancient chinese martial art is finding its way into iran's public spaces we'll tell you about those stories after the break. it's time for the perfect gentleman the weather sponsored point qatar airways where the wind picked up recently this little swirl of clouds a cold front of tailing in that went through beijing and that of course brought in air from the gobi knots what caused the sandstorm what a week or so ago there was another one not so violent but that's just
