and upfront, it's hard, demanding environmental accountability, the climate emergency a season of special coverage on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera, ah, hello, i'm emily anglin. this is a news our live from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes, a rare attack in damascus. it bombs destroy military bus killing at least 14 people . russia housed regional talks on afghanistan, saying it recognizes taliban efforts to bring stability. rescue tain, struggle to find survivors after days of floods across parts of northern and

southern india. and planets at great risk, a un report says there's been an alarming rise in the production of fossil fuel. i'm devin ash, with for to steve bruce leaf. his role is new counsel had coach 2 weeks off for the saudi arabia, back to take over the club and how much out of school supplies will be maintained. that perfect record. sorry, i hello and welcome to the program. we begin in syria where to bombs on an army boss have killed at least 14 people, the worst attack in the capital in years. several others were injured. a 3rd bomb was dismantled near by van. honda had selected a rare attack in the hard to the syrian capital. a military bus was the target. many were killed and injured when,

according to state media to explosive devices went off, the bus was at a transport point under the east bridge and damascus. these kind of attacks haven't happened in years, particularly since 2018 when government forces clear that the armed opposition strongholds around the city, though there has been no claim of responsibility. but the syrian regime is facing threats on multiple front. i remain on the end of the declared kenneth syrian early, 2019 by the joint forces of the us. and as the did not mean the end of the year, had this organization which still pose the threats and create the challenge, especially after the change of steps of the islamic state, which largely focused on the site attack. not long after the explosion syrian government troops heavily shell, the town, and the northern province of ad lib civilians were killed or injured in a re how many of them children who were on their way to school. the area is

regularly bigoted by government troops. despite last year seems fire agreement, but when they shelling is being seen as retaliation to the damascus attack, much of northern syria is under rebel control. the country remains divided along front lines and millions remain displaced. and while some host countries are starting to promote their return, human rights groups are again warning. it is not safe in the absence of certain conditions. in a report, human rights watch said it interviewed 65 return knees or family members. it documented $21.00 cases of arrest and arbitrary detention, 13 cases of torture, 3 kidnappings, 5 extra judicial killings. 17 enforced disappearances. and one case of reported sexual violence. this includes people that had clearances, supposedly before they return, they assurances that they would not be persecuted or reconciliation agreements as

they are called and were given documents to say that they would not be hunted down . but in fact, that's exactly what happened to people. president, charlotte, such forces now control much of syria after military help from his allies, russia and iran help took the balance of power in his favor. but wednesday's explosion was a serious security breach. and it shows, once again, syria is still in crisis, then i'll shoot it off. let's bring in mowing cadillac. he's the head of policy analysis of the arab center for research and policy studies. he joins us on skype from joe ha, hello them i want, i want to get to the human rights watch report. but 1st, let's talk about these latest developments and the 2 bombs which exploded in the capital. what do you make of the timing of this incident? persona. thank you, emily for having me. this is eddie mind over. i think that the ward and sylvia has

not entered yet. and that that is still a long wait, actually and 2. and the need for moving a political process for what indeed, i mean this is from the cycle, the regime, it's a major security breach. specialty that, that, that the, it could, which has been thought that actually is in the, was, it was that was attacked and does that mean bus station in damascus? and, but he is subject location. and it shows that the grip of the regime, considering the security of the capital, is not as and spiked and slunk as, as it appears to be. but on the other hand, we see that the regime is trying to, to use it in order to put more brush out on the, on the opposition. it's likely that this attack will play into the hands of the regime by using it as another evidence that he's facing at some sort of terrorism

actions. and that he is trying to blame the opposition there, particularly in it live for that. but that attack in an attempt actually to frame the opposition in a way that would be that the minds it and justify any sort of the action by your resume forces in this area. and that is why i believe the regime has immediately after the attack. stop actually to bombard a position that our position is strong called in india. and just briefly, what you think will be the fallout from this attack. i said it's, it's likely that this will have him back on, but it's credited with heart which are taking days like now in geneva. you know that the regime and this should have the meeting over the past 3 days after many months of interruption. and the aim is to agree on an amendment to the

constitution. i believe that he's even right now would be saying that the 1st thing that we should do be discussing is the issue after that. because i've been trying actually to push the agenda with, with the you an invoice to start with talking about terrorism. and i talked to the is lucky to to boost the position of regina concerning this issue. that jim, he's trying actually to delete all sort of or sort of discussions about the more like ab important issues concerning the constitution on reform to a later stage and focus now on issues of sovereignty. asking the government to denounce, also offer after attacks. and he will be considering this one, which happened this morning as, as one of the amount on the issue that was insane is packaged the human rights

watch report. and i mean, i think the name says it all which is our lives are like death. what did you make of the findings of this reports? pretty harrowing. what i think care leash as i mean, if you're talking about violations of human rights by, by the city in the regime has been documented over the past about about 10 years. and every time i was seeing, i mean new for justing, dr. air that he has actually committed also crimes against against the cdn people. and i think this is the latest registry for the show just like, well mom and we appreciate your insides. my, when katelyn is the head of policy analysis at the arab center for research and policy study. thank. thank. moving on to the rest of the day's news in russia is hosting

a regional conference aimed at addressing the economic and security crises in afghanistan. talks around away in moscow with representatives from the taliban sitting down with regional powers, including china, india, and pakistan in his opening remarks. russia's foreign minister outlined afghanistan's challenges to sudden economy speech and the social, economic, and humanitarian problems. the new government and capital have taken on show the current situation in afghanistan cannot be called stable. first of all, terrorist groups such as idaho and al qaeda have to be stopped. they are again trying to raise their heads and all different parts of the country. and the drug trade remained depressing. problem in afghanistan is also growing concerned about the taliban. the ability to protect minorities, to she mosques were bombed by iso in the space of a wake. afghanistan was already struggling financially. but that's got much worse since the groups take over in august. the m f says the economy could shrink by 30 percent, which would push millions more into poverty. all right,

let's bring in shall a balance whose life for us in the afghan capital hobble. how laurie the charlotte festival, i just want to talk to you about the tell him on being in russia. how important these discussions from the groups perspective over the tele bonds perspective. i mean, they really need humanitarian aid and these type of diplomatic engagements kind of birth there if it's to try to work with neighboring countries and countries in the region to support them because their economy is in the state of collapse and also the, the humanitarian crisis. is getting worse by the day and winter is on the horizon, so they really need all the help they can get. but they also really want legitimacy . they want to be recognized as the official government of afghanistan. and for now, that is not on the cons. russia has said that they're not going to be offering the telephone any legitimacy or recognition at east and these talks. and the taliban has fed and a statement just last hour that they believed that filled all the conditions to be

seen as legitimate and before many recognized as a government. now in this statement, they also talked about security. they said they're working incredibly hard to ensure that afghanistan doesn't become a safe haven for court terrorism, as the russians and others are concerned about. they should be working very hard on the security front. and that also that they have the meeting will help with regional stability. they want to have good relations with all the neighbors, but for the countries that at the end of which they are 10, china, iran, india, pakistan since relation countries. and of course, russia terrorism is right at the forefront of their concerns and they really want to make sure that say, i saw which as you say, it has conducted a couple of attack since the telephone came and is under control. and the telephone can handle whim. russia has also said that it is, it is worried about the humanitarian situation. that same thing, more aid in the coming days. and it also interesting said want to see and inclusive

government and i've got a son and we haven't seen countries really pressing the taliban on, on having an inclusive government at least recently in the taliban push back on that. saying that we do believe that we have at least and that's acting capacity and inclusive government, unchallengeable. those countries that you mentioned the us was invited, but didn't attend the meeting. how significant is that? it is interesting because usually in this format the us does partake. also, it comes right on the hills of us special representatives, all my who have been in the position for a number of years. he resigned just yesterday and a new invoice, homeless west has taken over. but the us has been quite tight lipped as to why it didn't go to moscow. the state department is saying, and of course we were not in a position to take part this week. and russia responding this morning saying they found that regrettable. thank you for the update. charlotte balice live for us in cobbler. i. let's get some analysis on this. now. if i came a said that is an afghan analyst. he joins us from nord house and on sky,

which is in and not house moves in central germany for him. thanks for joining us. russia says it's not ready to recognize the taliban government. so what's likely to unfold it, meeting in moscow? well i think this is an important bar math and this is a somehow hipa time to chat with. ready the international, 30 get entry and see the reaction of the regional can be to what? so are they down and of the, from the reaction with give them a gravity where they go. mission and then he hangs on time the original country is but it would also interact with the

and to see actually and also the intentions of regarding the national race and. ready to what extent are willing to fight them and what i sure can give from this bill over all these groups due to russia. i'm also. ready china, so i think these things are very much in the preliminary and assessment for the future action, but also the can read or thinking about the recognition and given me what will russia be wanting out of the international told you spoken a little bit about security can you elaborate that elaborate more about what they

what that would be one what they're right him doing their work. basically the reichen hopkins from the change and i've done their elected graph 3 a, one of their mother had a visit that the russian hob also did right ago i did re emergence of ida and the right of i kid dies are the 2 concerns. the russians were all because it's been over of radicalism, mankato rhythm. jacinto will be stabilized what we call the backyard of russia, and looking at the almost $25000000.00 muslims in russia. the russian ration this bill over the long term impact on the russian security. also, these are the concern that the ration from the from one is done and they need

to say god and also the right need to make indoor within the in our to understand what is the agenda, what is the future course of the coming to power? how their relationship would be when the, when and how we can use the day. so it could be something on the cost for the with, but that would be something that the russians are viewing it this week for him. the russian foreign minister says he regrets the absence of us officials at this meeting. what impact will washington the absence have and what does he mean by regrets their absence oh,

if we see you in russia, we're always all of each other. but there was a brief page recently where the bullet found in a line on a crisp and that was for us to seek the assistance of the regional countries for the reconciliation. so they were somehow on the same page. but overall it seems that right? yeah. and it does not share the common interest on any more for the americans. the re emergence of ida is a concern. we did think they would be able. busy to maintain it, to the over the horizon operation. but for right, yeah, we close that. do do the backyard, the rival i get, and the re, my immediate be so of this meeting, we will not be a cooperation of us and russia in regard to the russia. how might

the ones along the river have been destroyed, but the ones that are left standing, they are covered in mud and people were trying to still, you know, 3 days after the worst flight and they were trying to clean up their homes. obviously they can't do that anymore because the rates started to get and the state is back on high alert because of the heavy rain that's expected over the past few days. logan authorities have been releasing water from march. some of the main dams which almost filled to capacity because of the wrench of rain over the weekend. and they've been releasing that water to avoid more flooding. in case of more heavy rain people living all along the petty over there. and it's tribute trees, people living in the low lying areas have been taught on high alert. the number of relief cam. can you state have doubled in the last 3 days? would the more evacuations expected. and these in the situations likely to go from bad to worse with more rain forecast. what are authorities going to pay for the

security council resolutions and our threat to the region. we call the d p. r k, to refrain from further provocations and engage in said stand and substantive dialogue and our commitment at the defense of the republic of korea and japan remains ironclad. these launches also underscore the urgent need for dialogue and diplomacy. our offer remains to meet anywhere anytime without pre conditions. david sidney is a former us deputy assistant secretary of defense for east asia. he says, north korea is sending a message to the united states and its allies. i think it's quite wiring not just for south korea and japan, but actually for countries throughout the world, the ability to launch the ballistic missiles armed with nuclear weapons from a summer rain gifts north korea much greater reach than many people had believed had before. now of course they haven't moved that summary far from their coast, yet they haven't shown the full capabilities. but when, when mercury has shown over the years,

is the ability to do what it says. so the continue testing of nuclear weapons expansion of their ballistic missile arsenal. and now this additional summary launched for the missile. i show that that was re as a threat again, not just to the region but to the entire world. oh, they've been very direct about their message. both of these launches on displayed new missiles earlier in the year. what they're saying is they don't trust the united states. they don't trust the rest of the world. and they are prepared to use nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, in case they feel threatened, they're trying to use what people, some people call it hedgehog strategy to try and get the rest of the world to resume what it was doing in the past, which was paying north korea to not be a threat. as strikes, if the capital of ethiopia is to grow region for the 2nd time this week, at least 3 people were killed in makella. on monday, the government initially denied those strikes, but later the state news agency reported in air force, right?

saying communication equipment was, have the conflict in the north has been going on. if amelia, you now and 1000 have been killed. generalist samuel get a to says it's difficult to confirm details independently. because if communication black out in the region from the images were able to watch but cannot verify, it seems to be a heavy target. and there will be many, many victims from this paper strike. so happened then they took and government likes to react on social media. we've been watching their facebook pages, tweets, hoping they haven't said anything, but we expect them to be on monday, they denied it and they confirmed it. but the target this head is communication equipment to try to slow down the success that we've been watching for in terms of capturing towns outside of to go into the horror and fighting we just

from the get go. the ciocca and government has been clear in terms of pointing their fingers against a t p. they've been saying that it's government that has been stealing resources and using it for to perhaps provide support their soldiers. that's the persuasive of ethiopia in the past. the t p i left, they would say the opposite. so this is a conflict of bait in a challenging position to verify what's being said because we have no access of the state of a us congressional committee investigating january's assault on capitol hill has voted unanimously to approve a contempt charge against stave ban. and it was a long time a to donald trump. the committee says it was shocking, been refused to comply with savannah's seeking documents and testimony. they paved the way for a full load by the house of representatives. later this week that could lead to a criminal came 22 palestinians have been arrested during
