he's joining us from a boucher with the latest on best attack afterwards. therein base no statement yet from the security forces us to who was responsible for these attack. and what exactly happened or how many people have been killed. they have been several figures that been going around in the media, so go stay online mediums we have here. some are courting as many 50 people have been killed, but that is totally unconfirmed moment. somebody even saying that the ticket could be much, much higher because of the injuries inflicted on worship was at the church and or now the president and the state governor have both issued statements condemning b, a tag. but again, like we said at the introduction, we don't know exactly who carried out that to time. similar types have been going on in the north, northern and central part of 94. i've been a long time now, especially in the north west of nigeria, carried out by groups called the bandits who, by the way,

i've been declared as terrorist by the general government. it's not clear whether these groups have infiltrated the southwest of the country and carried out this attack at the moment. but again, we know over the past few years, they've been several cautious between local farmers and cut hunters in that area. at some point the states in the region have set up their own vision. i've just changed out these cut allowed is in that and it's not clear whether these are the groups responsible for this or talk. but again, this is election. yeah. other people are of the opinion that it could have, or this could have something to do with politics. however, nothing is totally confirmed at the moment. it could be a criminal gang that is our to carry out that attack and whatever it is that group really intended cost us match as, as much casualties as possible. because what we understand is they foster for donated devices and for what she was planning to worship was run out of the church

. and as they run out, they open fire on them, killing them instantly among the dead children, women and old people who went for church service sunday. so what does the government been doing about the increased the worst thing violence rather bought by armed groups in the country they've been, they've been putting out several of the same time during, but the fact of the matter is that the security forces really, really overstretched, dealing with this issues is that for us it hasn't been going to vote close to 10 years. now. remember, book has been there for more than 12 years. and several other classes are broken out over the past few years. over the last 10 or 15 years, especially in the north and north central part of the country. and also they have been ethnic cautious among people, various people across the country. and the security forces are really, really struggling to deal with these problems. and what makes matters worse for

them is the infiltration, are legit infiltration of foreign fighters into the crisis that happening in the, at the moment the pull much the current chief of different stuff announced that the security forces, especially the military, has deployed in almost all 36 states of the country and common going by the number of security forces in this country. these are really the numbers are really, really adequate to deal with. this problem is we talking about a country with a population of 200000000 plus people. and these are areas that have been targeted for very long term classes, similar clutches between religious ethnic as well as personal interests or other political interest have been going on for in this country for a long time during ok, thank you so much. i didn't use reporting from a boucher emergency crews and bangladesh are recovering more bodies from a fire that swept through a container depot. at least 40 people have been killed in the southeastern china. sit down near the port city chatter grum. the blaze sparked

a large explosion as firefighters rushed to the scene. some of the containers are being used to store flammable chemicals. about 450 people have been injured many critically. the actual cause behind the incident will be revealed when it's investigated. as far as i know, the deputy commissioners office, as for the prob committee, the fire brigade must have launched a separate investigation or will do so. convert child re has more from docker lay 10 hours on the blazer is still on. not in that intensity. of course, but many of the containers have fumes coming out, small flames coming out of them. firefighters are worried that if there are chemicals in any of those container, that could be a clear danger to the neighborhood and the public around did the spatial unit a burden, or the military is helping to fire fighters. now to salvage operation, does lot of chemicals on the ground. the neighborhoods around that container depot are polluted with foul smelling air. people are saying they're having breathing

problems. the hospitals are overwhelmed in children. are chartered around we call it now. many of the patient has been brought to dock on now and the government as announcing compensation package for the victims family. and as far as we know of their prob, comedy has been formed, but nothing confirmed has been reported as to what was the cause of this fire. we know that this is a private depot. what the firefighters did said that they were not warned off any chemical containers presence in that depot. and even if they where they should have kept separately, not with, along with other containers, that commodity take style and other items that typically chemical containers has to be in a guarded place. with a fire fighting acute mense near by this company did had fire fighting equipment, whether they're in activated during that time is hot to normal. and most of the people injured and died was due to that explosion. that is what cause most of the

injuries and bad, and it is also due to this chemical field people a nail. several large fires have broken out in bangladesh in recent years with many people killed and injured. they are often been blamed on poor safety measures and a lack of regulation last year, a blaze at a drinks factory outside the capital killed $52.00 people. many had been trapped inside. in 2019 nearly 70 people were killed in a fire and jacket and cramped high rise. apartments also used as chemical warehouse says in 2012 blazer garment. factoring the capital kill 217 people in one of the countries worst industrial accidents. the factory supplied western clothing, bronze madman's rule. islam is the managing board member of the bangladesh, red crescent society. he explains the chaos in responding to this incident is a by got a lot of people, but the all that was we didn't know they didn't even tell the people what is in

that container. so that is a big thing. but now it isn't one of your home last night. now what they did in the beginning because the people who are injured at their time to take them to the hospital, never asked to talk to the medical for the hospital, some private hospital and some of the people, even 5 member there was that they became seriously injured some of the laws then and legs our volunteers as well as general people there for us is that they, when that part is a small fire, it will go away and the good thing. but then we can fuel when it was a big explosion, it is very frustrating because our volunteer then also i think, i guess and then just situation. because the owner is the bonus. if they don't give the information to the hard to get company to learn for 2nd to see who our volunteers, how they will know how far they can do. if you time i'm checking, if all my volunteer has, if the senior after the single incident,

we have an investigative committee, we have some punishment with going on by steve. that is a plenty to go. lot of invest is going by this is economy could go very high, but with this federally, the law enforcement agency fire, we get all of this or it is not been in all of the private 80 s, even some of the government facilities and jazz rolling b j p is suspended at national spokeswoman over comments about the prophet mohammed comments made by newport sharma and a television debate spark protest from muslim groups. the party has also expelled its deli media operation, had not been cru margin dahl, and his statement, the b, j. p. said this, that it's strongly denounces insults of any religious personalities of any religion . the party also said it strongly against any ideology which insults or demeans any sect or religion. southern, not free as a journalist, base in new delhi. she says this incident is bringing warrants for national

attention to the issue of hate speech in india. the bgp has benefited a lot from mobilization against muslims. but in this instance, there has been an international law right to pay. so in the gulf region, odd, middle east countries have now this issue has now come to their notice. so it's, it's outrageous. so o, 2 days before this has happened to day when no border and another be functionally have been put on suspension. and they will no longer be dead. so 2 days before this happened, the sort of ideological head of the, of the b g b, which is daughters this, she did say we respect or religion. it did, it did not did of testing the waters how walk in. we go with the anti muslim rhetoric without having a blowback. many of them loyal, is this

a border there in goes actually are very happy to abuse muslims and in this case they went on to the prophet. this is the rhetoric that they support. i think it's had a good snowballing effect. i think something like the cotton is freeze stumbling. it's good because this is nothing short of it speech. india has one of the was largest muslim populations. so it has come to the notice of the boy that this is happening. and i think it will be harder for the official us, at least you cannot say on this eventually. even if you are mobilizing against muslim hunter's us is really settlers have stormed in. ok, so mos compound at dawn under the protection of is really forces the incursion led to confrontations with palestinian worshippers as follows. violence last week by settlers during the is really flying day march and the muslim quarter of occupied

for hong kong, thunderstorms and humidity on tuesday, as to whether official, irvine, the john lima, hundreds of thousands full, a reason they think have supernatural healing, important, towing power. one or one. it is the magical world of the buddhist to called on algae 0 me ah, al jazeera ah, ah, all i the me

come up with the top stories and i'll just 0 gunman have a talk to church during sunday service in nigeria. it happens in the south western kind of the reports that dozens of people have been killed in the attack. at least 40 people have been killed in 450 injured and a large fire in bangladesh. the blaze broke out at a container storage facility where flannel chemicals are being kept in just really b. j. p has suspended its national specimen over comments about the prophet mohammed sharma may be allegedly derogatory comments in a television debate. they sparks protests from muslim group. several miss all strikes, hit the outskirts of ukraine's capital keith after weeks of relative calm. he has largely been spared for major attacks and russia refocused military campaign on the east of the country. they miss robbie has more from keep the air raid sirens here has been a constant reminder that every part of ukraine remains under threat from attacks

from russia, from the sky. so certainly there is a certain basic level of preparedness, but they've become so routine that largely people don't really rush to bomb shelters. there isn't that much of a perceived threat of attacks within the main city center. but what we seen this morning, the dramatic events that happened in the capital city in the east of the city this morning, certainly do draw a line under one simple fact that ukraine is not a country that is in command and control of the skies over its territory, and as long as that remains the case, the threat of russian attacks anywhere in the country will never be 0. what we do know is that we're there, we're at least 2 missile strikes in the eastern side of the city, east of the new pro river that runs through the center of the capital. keep these strikes. we saw that form soles hit an area in an industrial area at a rail yard. 3 others hit

a tank repair facility at this rail yard. these are industrial spaces. they are home to large manufacturing factories and large lots where there are warehouses. and what we're hearing from the ukranian government is that the missiles came from she 1995 strategic bombers that were launched from the caspian sea. certainly a very high profile attack on the capital today. russia, the president are threatened to strike new targets if the west supplies ukraine with longer range, missiles, flood reputed, and made the comments to rush and state media, but didn't specify what new targets he was referring to. last week, joe biden said he would supply key with advanced precision rocket systems. after receiving assurances, they would not be used to strike targets inside russia. just then you will send you the list if they supply them with this, then we'll conduct our own appropriate conclusion. use our tools which we have enough of and we will strike those targets, which we have not yet been hitting farmers and brazil are complaining about

a spike in fertilizer prices caused by the war in ukraine with about 30 percent of their supplies imported from russia. and bella roost, farmers are feeling the effect of a war, a 1000 thousands of kilometers away. monica danica reports from brazil. farmers in southern brazil are feeling vehicle nomic brunt of the warn ukraine. 3 months after russia's invasion, they're still able to secure fertilizers for their crops, but at the very high priced it. well, but as you say, ordinal, brazil is the world's largest. so producer, be good, and it's the only international giant green producer that is almost totally dependent on important fertilizers, 86 percent of what the country needs comes from abroad. and much of it from russia and bella russo, despite international sanctions against moscow, russian ships are still being able to dock a brazilian poorer such a gumble. this is not enough for market as big as brazil's,

the war has complicated the logistics of importing products from that part of the world, generating insecurity among investors. that's why fertilizer prices have skyrocketed . last to year, each of these bags, with one ton of fertilizer, used to cost $600.00. now farmers are paying twice as much for the same amount. brazil's president able so maddow visited moscow shortly before vladimir putin ordered his troops to invade ukraine. he said latin america's largest economy would be neutral in the war because business with russia is fundamental. fertilizers is sacred for you also not as stanley as the support of brazil's powerful agricultural lobby, even here and put them thought bodies were 75 percent of the population is of ukrainian descent and he's running for reelection in october. we'll be glad to hear market from what's happening in the green is terrible. but brazil has to think

about itself here. if you cannot get involved because 30 percent of the fertilizers report come from russia and bella rose, which kind of thing from brazil has announced a 3 decade plan to reduce the countries dependence on imported fertilizers. but experts say it could also take decades before there are any results. mean more farmers in brazil are hoping for the war to wend. monica in our give al jazeera but then thought body's brazil. china has lawns, 3 astronaut into space on board. it's shun zoom. 14 spacecraft, so the crew will spent 6 months completing the construction of the chang space station. brianca groups are reports. ah, 3 ty connotes a chinese astronauts carrying the nations pride and the ambition of making china the world, news space, superpower. so the blasted off from the church one satellite long
