a day after their schools attacks in afghanistan's capital 3 explosions were set off at the school entrance killing at least 50 people the taliban has denied responsibility and condemned the attack on syria's feel contre foody isn't comparable in a warning the report contains some graphic images. children screaming for their mothers scattered notebooks and casualties strong across the ground in western kabul. girls' school had been a place of safety education and hope for the future now the scene of an attack intended to create maximum casualties 3 explosions at about 5 30 pm local time the same time young women and girls were finishing school and streaming out of the gate dozens of wounded civilians were rushed to mohammad ali jinnah hospital many in a critical condition in my view unfortunately during the time when students
12:06 pm
were coming out of the school a powerful explosion happened and the number of children will wind up and you can see that all the hospitals are full of victims. those who lost their lives lined up in the corridors a family members checked to see they'd lost their loved ones concerned people can't stop to donate blood. but there were a lot of casualties there were a few male victims but most of them were female school students the victims were female school students the bodies were everywhere and some of the bodies were missing here. took place in. a predominately and huzzaing neighborhood these groups have often been at the receiving end of violence by armed groups in afghanistan due to religious and political differences rights groups say there has been a recent surge in targeted killings of women and religious minorities no group has

yet claimed responsibility for this attack but there is a circle of blame among officials and fighter groups the taliban condemned the attack and denied any responsibility blaming eisel but president blame the armed groups saying the taliban have once again shown their own willingness to resolve the crisis peacefully and fundamentally by escalating their legitimate war and violence. in a country already torn apart by decades of war is attack will no doubt lead to more fear more anger and parents scared to send their children to school. or country for al-jazeera kabul where chris fernie a monday is the afghanistan country director for save the children he described ways to better protect schools i think this is an outrageous attack that is happening again targeting children mostly us this is not you know this is the
12:08 pm
reality of life in afghanistan we see time and again that children are being targeted in this moment that we live in. and. we are panicking it's appalling that this is happening schools should be safe havens for children not zones of war i think we call all the all the perpetrators and parties to this conflict that they should do everything to protect judea and specially in schools and i think it's easy the schools declare vision is good guidelines on how you know this can be done in accordance with international humanitarian law including the void in use in schools is. infrastructure for all. the district that we are talking about at this moment is a district that is suffered

12:11 pm
a few minutes ago just one question here extended its lockdown the state of delhi has in fact tightening restrictions for another week you know flow starting monday there will be the current lockdown plus the metro services will be suspended for another week and then we've also seen long guns being announced by states like some allowed to carola and karnataka which in the middle which was in the middle of a curfew but has now extended that to a complete lockdown for the next 2 weeks and that's because as we've been reporting the numbers are just rising another grim milestone across today more than 400000 fresh cases and for the 2nd day in a row india recorded more than 4000 deaths. medical experts are predicting a 1000000 coover deaths in india by org. has this heard the indian government into action because you're describing a lot of regional approaches been taking both the national government.
12:12 pm
well the national government has come under criticism for precisely that for not having a national plan for various things for example the lancet the international medical journal has come out with a scathing editorial blaming the government for its response and really saying that the government is presiding over what the john has described a self inflicted national catastrophe and then there is domestically the indian medical association which has blamed the government for the oxygen shortage and also called for a well planned national lockdown saying that these clubs and cuff use sporadic across the nation are simply not working and then there is the criticism of the vaccine policy or the lack of it at the national level states are now scrambling to procure vaccinations only a dozen of them have started the 3rd dr daley now saying it only has enough doses

12:19 pm
house with that smell brewing the last 2 months has recorded more than 15000 deaths from the covered $1000.00 virus health experts say the truth is probably much higher symmetries are overwhelmed despite doing all they can to accommodate the increased demand. as you can see the sun is ours cemetaries on the verge of collapse which is complicated by the situation the world is in so we're trying to adapt our teams to mitigate the situation in our cemeteries but despite their best efforts it's not enough not with nearly 2000000 people in peru infected and 62000 deaths. unfortunately although peru is a rich country people are dying they're buried clandestinely in the hills by just digging a hole through is underfunded health system is overwhelmed an oxygen is scarce and the vaccination program beset by corruption scandals which is reach less than 2 percent of the population off with little hope some have taken extreme measures.
12:20 pm
i saw there were no places in the cemeteries and was worried that there was nowhere else to take the debt nor money to bury them that is my concern and that's why i'm building this so my grave is ready. it's not many regions of latin america simply don't have the infrastructure to cope with sharp increases in covered 1000 deaths earlier in the pandemic bodies were left on the streets in the ecuadorian city of black ill and the symmetries of the brazilian amazon city of man hours overflowed. but the 2nd wave continues to bite dealing with the dead is again presenting a huge challenge. their al-jazeera. emergency crews are trying to put out a fire at an all refinery in the syrian city of homs local media video shows for him and go off and points of facility i think black smoke billowing into the sky

12:22 pm
the chinese space agency but the land area here just west of the maldives is not yet clear whether any debris landed on the islands though china says most burned up on reentry. well the vote can't scald long march 5 laws 10 days ago kind parts of china's 1st prominent space station nasa has criticized beijing failing to control the debt free saying it isn't missing responsible standards. is a senior research fellow at the strategies university of southern queensland he says china is the only country to stabilize the uncontrolled re-entry the space junk. large spaces can reach the ground but it doesn't happen too often and certainly not really where in populated areas today the main place that entered the atmosphere was about 20 tons and 30 meters long so that was certainly the single piece that entered the atmosphere once it entered the atmosphere it really broken
12:23 pm
up into many smaller pieces previously and one match for ip is being reported to drop a piece that was 12 meters long so you could imagine if there were people around that it would be dangerous but again landed in the ocean and that's where most of the space debris doesn't back and so this chinese long match is one of the 1st rockets and exactly the 2nd of its type it's been launched with by the main stage of the rockets at a very large component actually went over them so this means it's all going around the earth and that's what we've been tracking for the previous few days normally these rockets would be disposed of in a manner that means they drop into the ocean fairly quickly after the launch and don't go into an uncontrollable that like this one with the set up they've got they can put more mass into orbit so for their actions they station about launching their i want to get more of that into orbit perales up costs both in mass and doubles and the result is of course that we have this one piece left over after woods for example people like space x. are of course really landing everything so they can reuse it and that seems to me
12:24 pm
like the international and global trend that's happening this single use is not really seen anywhere else outside of china so hopefully it won't be continuing in this line. russian president vladimir putin has said his country will firmly defend its interests your issue of military strength to mark $76.00 victory day is the anniversary of the soviet defeat of nazi germany that's in has been watching almost 12000 soldiers and 200 pieces of military hardware were paraded through red square in moscow. london's mayor said it can has been reelected its 1st 2nd term in a narrower than expected victory over his conservative party by a full consequent 55 percent of the votes. the poor dependent scottish national party won its 4th straight parliamentary victory and leader nicholas sturgeon says shows people are ready for another vote so in scotland breaking away
12:25 pm
from the u.k. join a whole reports from edinburgh it's not the outright majority the scottish national party had hoped for but the election has produced a majority for independence with the s.n.p. bolstered by the greens 1st minister and s.n.p. leader nicolas sturgeon made clear what she intends to do with it both the s.n.p. and the scottish greens stood in a clear commitment to an independence referendum within the next parliament shit here and both of us be clear that the timing of a referendum should be to say by a simple majority of m.s.p. in the scottish parliament. pandemic recovery is the immediate priority after that the plan is for the scottish parliament to legislate for a referendum to take place within the next 5 years it will be for the government in london in charge of u.k. constitutional affairs to agree negotiate or challenge it in the supreme court
12:26 pm
a spectacle that would risk inflaming separatist desire even further so right now polling suggests perhaps the slates in that support for independence in kind of 4849 percent and 50 percent consistently over the last year when thing that makes that would make this referendum different though is that there's not a whole lot of people who are undecided there's not a whole that if you will have it be their mind on independence so you would have to change their minds rather than rather than in like the people i bring people together so you would have to have to change their entrenched positions which meant that my. prime minister boris johnson has consistently ruled out a 2nd referendum the 1st in 2014 was lost by a 10 point margin something he believes should have put the issue to bed for a generation but then brics it happened which scotland voted against by a large margin in 2016 being taken out of the e.u. against their will as many see it as reinvigorated the drive to leave the united

a poor community lacking running water and electricity. villagers have relied on the sale of traditional medicines and more recently honey for their survival but amid drought in environmental degradation neither industry is viable anymore which is why they are looking to grow marijuana now legal under federal law. it's a madison ill plan the treats many things so why not we would accept working with associations to use our fertile lands that are free of agro chemicals for cultivation of cannabinoid which is medicine. many of you marijuana legalization as a potential boom for mexico's struggling economy a green gold rush to create jobs in poor areas and a new source of tax revenue for the government. policy experts however say the new reforms are not designed to benefit small communities like last. season so. unfortunately the side of social justice to benefit rural communities who have been
12:29 pm
among the worst affected by the drug war seems more like fiction these communities will supposedly be given priority to obtain certain licenses for growing but the entry costs are too high for them to afford. critics of the new law see the mexican government has not only falsely promoted the legal marijuana initiative as an economic relief for poor communities but also a benefit to patients who depend on marijuana for medical use. the mother's bed is has been treating her 8 year old son with medicinal cannabis oil for the last 6 years she says it's the only thing that's helped against his chronic epileptic seizures but the reform still makes it illegal to give minors products derived from cannabis little sample in the hand the white and the law leaves us out so we're left with no choice but to make this medical treatment for him and for many other children in mexico illegally and also cultivate illegally in order to obtain the oil extracts at home. the legal cannabis in mexico means recreational use will
