coordinated attacks. it's been years since there's been attacks like these on the transport system in jerusalem. a very dangerous development, say government and security officials. israel security minister, visited both scenes for an update. and as he left, he spoke to al jazeera, very, eh, difficult, if i may say terrorist attack to terrorist attack, there's no question that the, there was a synchronization between them where they was want, or ish, or several terrorists. we don't know yet, but i'm sure that we will find them. we'll catch them dead or alive. it might, may take days or weeks, but we will catch them both. it is our blanketed by security cameras. footage is no been reviewed. even the smallest detail is being scanned for close the explosions follow months of tensions in the occupied west bank between israelis and palestinians. and deco a series of attacks on the transport system between 2002005 security patrols on

buses have now been stepped up the palestinian group, hamas speaking from gasser, praised the attacks, but stopped short of seeing it was behind them. the man expected to be appointed that the new security minister in the next cabinet ultra nationalist politician. it might have been given called for a hard line against those behind the attack. as it's like league vaught with you. we have to strike price for this terrorism. i say clearly, we need to back up our soldiers and our policeman and returned to attack the killing and scope of those responsible league brought back you about the buses were soon back running as normal. but the feeling in the city after the twin attacks is anything but alan fisher al jazeera west jerusalem. it acts to play 16 hours after is really forces shot dead, a 16 year old boy in the occupied westbank and other 2 palestinians also died there on wednesday. because of his rarely fire,

a state of uncertainty. japan made sure they finished this match with that status confirmed. germany exited the last world cup of the group stage. after losing their opener against mexico. this time out they did at least take the lead, ill kick under one scoring from the penalty spots. germany had the chance is to extend the lead the brilliance of japan's keeper. she would she gonna insure that never happens. ah, and in the stadium where japan became asian champions in 2011. this generation of players rally to produce another historic when rit pseudo han, with the equalizer and into coma san i secured a themis to one victory. japan's goals scores perhaps benefiting from a little insight knowledge. they both play their club football in germany. japan

next take on costa rica with the knockout rounds already in sight. japan of never got beyond the last 16 at a world cup when the draw was made for this tournament. and they were pitted alongside germany and spain. few of documents even get out of the group. they enjoyed huge support from fans from all over asia. at this match in what is only the continence 2nd world cup. and after this, when there were believe that anything is possible prior to this victory that only $15.00 times had a world cup. victory. number 6, arguably the most important result in japan's footballing history and the richardson al jazeera at dough house, kelly for stadium. next up to germany, it's spain who made a big statement in their opening match a thumping, a costa rica, 7 nail the spaniards safe and the scoring alley on that with a danny on may strike a double the lead off to 10 minutes. 13th or is it picked up his 2nd or the 9th

after scoring a penalty in the 1st off, gabby became the youngest plans, his pele to score at the woke up to make it by eva, sustain substituted. carlos and egg goes in on the act and stuff. it's time for lewis m u k site. that was 6 now. and i'll read finish off the route with the 7th. perfect start the tournament to spain, them as they need to be famous. i thought they wanted 12 years ago. it is that biggest when at the outset and if the costa rica, well, they're heavy as defeat ever in the tournament. so let's look at the picture in group e then with usher, quangersha and jemma. so last, so usher was this, sir, just a bad day for germany or do they have bigger worries? it was really a bad day for them. you know, when you look at the way they played the 1st half, it was really a game of to have in the 2nd half, it kinda looked like they're not playing together as a unit. you, we know germany to play the ball from behind. and now we're playing long balls and

then they went on to consider 2 goals in 10 minutes. that's absolutely disastrous for aside like germany. so for me, i think that, you know, going forward, they can correct that. and you know, it's good for them to play against the spain and get that result and, you know, work it out. that game is certainly one that we are all looking for to you and nurse speaking of spain, gemma via it couldn't have had a better start, could they, they could on and need something unusual in span because they tend to have bud starts in their walk ups and maybe then improving aid garza all good news for spain . it's a reinforcement for later a strike, believe it or not, they are having issues on their day teams. baccha earlier this season. it gives a lot of confidence to meet feel that was really powerful. earlier to they with was scared spread that he and, and golden boy gabby, he show he the sort of that they, that prize and, and keys are starting to say born. and i think it was

a really good for a team that it's growing. it's really young is the 3rd at that youngest. the escalade in the world cup is so all good news, but lose america. the 1st see think he said is too much compliments. make your week . so he wants to, would that defeat down the ground and to fight for that to game against germany. he assert me near him in full complacency. you mentioned that game against germany. jemma. what are you expecting to happen there at albert stadium? well, it's going to be much more complicated for to spain em. i think there was a little bit of lack of to do in costa rica and germany will try to have the ball n a spain. yeah, it's a 7 neil with only 7 shot on target. again, germany against no year that might not be happening. so they will really have to be efficient on the final 3rd of tool to have a good result. and how do you see that game going asha, i think is going to be very tightly contested. but also my predictions have been

quite to an issue here. but i think that in that you did, you did predict a spain costa rica draw didn't yeah. draw can yeah, i sorry to remind you of that. oh no, but i yeah, i feel sorry for the one that i was so when but anyway spend look better dead than germany of course. and, oh, come to use that momentum that they got from the victory earlier today to going to that game and see love, you know, their qualification to the round of 16 as early as possible. well, let's see if that game lives up to you. the height now elsewhere that 2018 at semi finalist bowden. i opened it with a hot 4 to one know when i have a canada, canada he were playing there for well cut batches since 1986 had a great chance to go in front when they were awarded a penalty for handle after a via review. but alfonso davis is spot kick was saved by bout him go key, but she baked squash. and while they were made to pay it just for halftime and she best white school, the only goal of the game that is an 8th consecutive group stage when to belgium

and woke up equaling a record held by brazil. the other game in group asset finished goal us it between a morocco and croatia. the go go keepers a dominating this one, although both teams that did half the chances to win it croatia reached the final for 4 years ago. but a slow start, this time for them rocket still hoping to get out of the group stage for the 1st time since 1986. the 1st round of group matches is completed on thursday as the remaining 8 teams, a take to the field, switzerland to get things underway against cameron at albany stadium at 10 o'clock g m t. that is followed by uruguay against south korea. it's education city, christiana, rinaldo and portugal meet gonna in that wrapping in game maps at stadium 974. and in the last match of the day, brazil make their entrance at catherine 2022. as they faced serbia at lou sales stadium. se plenty,
