8:07 am
sure. not to pay them when we've seen the v. you is not a military alliance, unlike nato. but that's why we've always said our position here is consistent and clear. we have nothing against it. it's a sovereign decision of any country to join an economic alliance or not. and it's up to this economic union to accept new member states or not. but he knew it. i could, i was president, declared a state of emergency in 3 provinces because of ongoing protest. miguel law so says he's committed to defending the capital and the country. the protesters are mostly indigenous people. they've set up roadblocks and several states and demanding cuts to fuel prices. and a temporary barnum debt repayment for small farmers. you as president joe biden says he will not meet saudi arabia's conference one on one during his visit next month. biden's been facing criticism off to the white house, announced his trip to react. he once vowed to make saudi arabia a pious state after the murder of journalists, yamaha shows he. i'm not going to be with them yet. i'm going to
8:08 am
a international meeting. if you're going to be part of it, just like there are people part of the discussion today going to the goals as a professor of international affairs at texas and m university. he says sold and gas prices and high inflation to put president biden in a difficult position. i think that he's climbing down from some pretty tough campaign. rhetoric, calling on the ground, prince bry saying he was going to isolate him. and you know, the fact is that he's going to be in the same room with him. and i'm not sure why he'd be going to saudi arabia except to talk to him. but obviously he's gotta, he's got to work the domestic side of this and, and, and back away from some very strong language he used during the campaign. the president wants to show the american people that he's doing everything. he can even at the margins to bring down the price of gasoline. the ukraine issue just brought into very stark relief. the fact that saudi arabia is still the major player in the
8:09 am
world oil market. and even though the long term goal of the by the administration is clearly the reduce, the importance of fossil fuels. that's not going to happen in the short term. people are still driving their cars and they still need gasoline. and so combined with these other geopolitical issues in the middle east, the ukraine war and the effect it's had on energy markets is really driving the bite administration back into a relationship with saudi arabia. oh ok, we're getting a number of reports that rockets have struck, garza, the israeli army, says, is targeting what it calls military sites. these are pictures that have just been coming in to us now it is normal. but if there is any sort of interaction between israel and gas, of that there is a somewhat carefully coordinated effort made by both sides in order to try to hate targets, which are not necessarily going to be specific infrastructure buildings or hate civilians. but as you might be able to see from these pictures,
8:10 am
there are flashes of flame and a lot of smoke. and this which indicates that they are actually hitting specific pieces of infrastructure when possibly buildings rather than the more often than not an open field, which is normally targeted by the israelis in gas. i know, of course, the story is just developing, we're just getting more information is coming in. as soon as we have a more cohesive picture of what's going on, we're going to bring it to rwanda's foreign ministers calling for the de escalation intentions along the border with democratic republic of congo. it's after congress soldier was killed in an exchange of fire. the frontier tensions been rising between the neighbors who had a strained relationship for decades. alex o'brien, the courts, ah, angry crowds in democratic republic of congo pushed towards the border with rwanda . the chanting slogans against their london president polka, gummy. oh, it's too much now. this provocation for the people of rhonda. it's not the 1st time

8:14 am
a gun fired short serve in ne, slowed down. oh my, it was a complex attack. one. no, no, go to the water. a sick girl. no worship fingers site. no, no, dear daughter casualties. yet to be before could go officially, both that over. there had been i a lull in the number of bomb attacks when the taliban took over afghanistan. and then we did see an increase in the number of attacks during a rama down as at any indication. first of all, who might be behind this latest one? a not actually a wind turbine and power, the error of taliban, or lacking good capacity to cause capacity of counterterrorism. counter insurgency, the, all the solid cur, maritally, international law, mo, until sharing go support. so it will be a when a tough job with
8:15 am
a difficult job for tightly bound to narrow secured, or at least the big cities certainly securing the whole country with the children that have gone has done is having ruby are really much difficult for taliban in such a capacity or such attacks on minorities are of been recently are in there. my responsibility has been usually taken by now does share her son now, but there are many other groups also arctic for it is simply if we see the it is not the resistance, sir. or my of for the says the earliest national to resist and for to says, dear over freedom fighters at the name of the civil law that were criminal murphy, our group served the order or somehow disturb lazing situation with an afghan, a stand to benefit for themselves and i said, explained to have you know that, that hotter than as it is another and name for the for i saw there slamming state or group. let me ask you about the fact that this has targeted
8:16 am
a seek police of place of worship. previously we've seen a tax arm which have involved and assaults on mosques as well as other and secular buildings. why do you think you are are? is there any significance? do you think in the fact that a seek temple has been targeted in this case? yeah, it's not due for the storm or minority sir. specifically. are my sheer minority and sick girl and him my little to the of been i'd talked and passed many years or with the harshest attack, sir, we have in our mind. urban collateral damage was her happening. herb murray. group sir, who benefits from mo, such a target? and the odd where my targeting civil in that tags for the it will benefit off doing it instead of and there and stability and messaging the central government or in the previous. and now the current government that they do not have control over population security, their city are parameters and they can not her,
8:17 am
her defender and the local population. specifically, there are minorities which is cleared. so, you know, bad govern and strap, and beards distance between people and the government and had increases. herb my trust deficit, no witcher to sell for somehow. talent is their central government grip over the country over the population. so now it can be related there with the symbols sir. i tax which happened and on the sick minority and anger hard in carbon land austin now passed many years. and these attacks sort of somehow there were a series or for a tax on my, the different minorities located in afghanistan. you mentioned that there is a growing trust deficit between the people of afghanistan and the taliban. at least in terms of the taliban is ability to contain and control this kind of attack. is there any effort being made by people in afghanistan to put pressure on the taliban
8:18 am
to deal with this kind of thing? oh my, i think in several cases sir, my local people there for demonstrated their their grievance. the i've been out during the even and past the i've done some my demonstration is also built sharing go the other glover and send a andras to with media. the air, the i don't even communicating directly with my a taliban leadership on the specific uses or no. the problem is that taliban suddenly within government it's only 9 months pastor that taliban and cobbling power are expecting them to have a stronger grip on said her situation and controlling such as will tig town. it needs a pretty it needs to be done, cooperation. it needs people or cooperation and it also needs some kind or for counterterrorism counter insurgency at planning,
8:19 am
which to luck. so the question is mounting one different area on the pallet, one government to be of economic alert. my case is currently powered d from and, and drought is been getting harsher or economic girl or of gunner said to freezing that is increasing and mounting problem. so under governor governor and say, and not having recognition legitimacy that santander, 80 off british on pallet brand. so it all somehow encompasses and increases problems within the country, rather than helping anybody else. fi son as a professor of political science had couple university. so we appreciate you joining us and our da 0. thank you very much. indeed, for your time somali as government says that 70 algebra fighters, including 3 foreigners, have been killed after the army filed what it says was an attempt to terror attack . the on group was attempting to ambush an army base in the region of goggle dude.
8:20 am
some on his information minister says a man who was intending to conduct a suicide bomb attack has been arrested. bruce president, pedro castillo has appeared before national prosecutors for questioning. in a corruption case is accused of receiving bribes for public work contracts. 6th, cotton politicians and a former minister also being investigated kasteel as the 1st peruvian leader when lucy times to be investigated. while an office. 6 let me bring you some bringing use out of garza regarding those rocket strikes that have been happening in the last few hours. israeli military says it's been targeting what it calls military sites and a sam we can talk to or, you know, i'll saeed. who is our correspondent in garza, on the phone, una, if you can hear me, can you tell me what the targets are? yes. so there was one rocket that the military said,
8:21 am
i was blanched from the got the strip that was intercepted by the iron dome. and then it said through military posts, because it's trip in the central gall, this trip area where it targeted by an israeli raid. there were no, actually, any cases could be reported, or no billions hurt or anything lost of material damage in the post. other than that, nothing has been reported until now. we're still looking closely that it's such an incident happened suddenly and $43.00. that's our, your rates in, in the quite a, quite some time now. you know, tell us about this rocket that was fired from gaza in the last few days or so. what doing more, do we know about that?
8:22 am
we, there isn't a certain, there isn't a certain faction or policy an armed group that has until now cleaned responsibility for this rocket that has been fire is really media. on the other hand is over. they think that it could be a retaliation for the killing of the 3 policy and on goods in any g, which happened before last night or last night. so it was like a retaliation on thursday going, so they say or the crane that this could be a retaliation for the killing of the 3 palestinian on the other hand carried the got district. know they're good. yes. 3 clean responsibility for it. that's a time it is just one rocket that was intercepted by the iron dome stores or you were just looking at some of the pictures here. please correct me if i'm
8:23 am
wrong in this. my understanding is that when there isn't, is really retaliatory attack there is, there are specific targets said the israeli will, is really well a might in order to they say limit the number of civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure. but they're doing it in order to make a retaliation and make a point. the pictures we're looking at seem to be significantly different. there seems to be a lot of smoke and a lot more flame coming out. are these the same targets? these are, these would normally attempt to hit or is this something different? usually they are the same targets, but the, the, the can, the targeting every time. it's different every time. so, oh, both it's time. it is just one rocket with seen less less retaliation in thompson or in $103.00 and $5.00 israeli military some time. but at this time it was pretty
8:24 am
tight. several, several bell posts were targeted. yes, they were all in the central because it's trip. and at what location, but there was a lot of material damage. there were lots of rocket fits where rating are those that where where a rating on the location. and that's what could the lot of flyers to happen, even in those agriculture close to the school. so basically i'm talking about the 1050 off the rates that were conducted last night that even the agriculture land around the post or military posts or the policy in fact you have, i think the where affected and i could culture where, you know, thank you very much indeed young i'll say joining us on the phone from guys and we're going to come back to you. obviously we find out more about what's going on, but for now, thank you very much indeed. all the tensions high in the occupied. why spank many
