the escalating violence in the occupied palestinian territories. and israel just as the u. s. secretary of state visits the region are diplomatic editor, james bayes will join us from occupy the east jerusalem in just a few minutes. but 1st, we're covering some breaking news out of pakistan. let's bring that to you. and our blast has ripped apart mosque in the northwest and city of per shower. at least 18 people are killed. dozens of others have been injured. go to come all hide and now his life rough life, frost rather from his slammer. bad. so come out, 1st of all, how did this attack happen? well, according to the deep j is the suicide bama had been, i was able to get into that was not just get into them, was what we end up front. role of congregation often known tre and that is

re detonated explosives. now the police lines is a highly kill l. shaw load. given the fact also that there's been a spate of dogs against the police and the security forces, especially in the high book, while province. so questions as to how such an incident that happened if it just a chair, the wall with the governor house on the one side, the chief minutes does house on the other side, a highly kiln. and according to the board, the suicide bomber was able to get entered that march. so indeed, did a dead don't counting. as you mentioned now, standing again with 70 people have been wounded. and i've got that a fear that there are given go higher. you're going to hospital so the saying that some of those room day are in critical condition. come out. tell us what we know so

far and the claim of responsibility. any investigations going in the direction of anyone? well actually just to give you a little background just a few months ago, the bug is sunny, governmental and involved with the $10.00 bond focused on how to fight right across the board and of one on the other $1.00 bond god had said. busy are not allowed to be you against any country get be fighters, that he's a dollar bond focused on fight. what installed there was a sci fi and the government was trying to reach a negotiated settlement because up 240000 of including families, 10005 days from june, july, august on, and had sci fi with the government, but that sci fi did not last long the t d p said that the government was not seated . the government said that the demands of the ttp were not acceptable. that they

have to come within the end of the constitution after that the d. b and dies which have gone to those to all but aging and not being able to come across the border into august. on, along with the ftp fight, i started a spate of dogs. they started attacking police stations, targeting police fissures, the police. of course we're on high and no, but just a few weeks ago when we were in for shaw. some of the policemen complain throughout it. i think they did not have life jackets did not have proper weapons. and it was today, richard the ttp fight, guys were using my imagery, which means they were able to snipe back these for nice and therefore in the dead of the night. and also using sophisticated weapons that they had brought along with them. from of honest on, you know, the united states has left a, a huge

a rail weaponry inside of one that's on the d. d. p. of course also had the police as poorly trained. and there will be serious questions as to how the suicide grandma, where the explosives strapped to his body, was able to get into such highly secure area. the police lines is a very secure area. so big question mark on the lack of security, lack of repair notes, and as i mentioned, the police not having the adequate equipment to be able to deal with the level of that threat. all right, thanks so much come, i'll hider. how moving on it? so visit seen as a test of the bible administration's middle east policy, u. s. secretary of state antony blinkin arrives in west jerusalem shortly. top of the agenda. rising tensions between israelis and palestinians, just hours before blinkin lands another palestinian has been gone down by israeli

forces in the occupied west bank. well that brings to 35. the number of palestinians killed this month is ready, forces of begun enforcing the harsh measures announced by the far right government after a string of violent incidents that the weekend all right, so our diplomatic editor james base is in occupied east jerusalem along with a team of correspondence, we can go over to james right now. so james, literally anthony blinkin lands in the midst of political storm clouds gathering on the horizons there. yes, absolutely. sammy, we're expecting secretary blink in about 2 hours from now to arrive. here, let's look at the backdrop for his visit. let's find out by looking at the geographical backdrop, this amazing view of jerusalem and the old city of jerusalem. the ancient world old city divided into the christian quarter. the muslim quarter, the jewish quarter,

and the armenian quarter, and in the middle, of course, the alex, so mosque and the dome of the rock. but also we have to look at the political backdrop of where we are politically right now. the most deadly yet 2022 for palestinians in terms of palestinian desks, the most right wing government that israel has ever got. ministers who want to take total control of this old city including the alex. so mosque ministers don't believe in a peace process or a 2 state solution. and we've had recent violence. for example, on thursday. janine refugee camp, that raid in one day 10 palestinians killed on friday attack the settlements, they were people outside synagogue, several and killed the response to all of this is come from these really security cabinet. they have a lot, some pretty draconian measures. and we also had an attack in sil one. let me show

you was still one is just at the foot of the old city and attack on saturday, but we a 13 year old boy. well, resume is inside one for us now resume these measures, the, the israeli security cabinet announced which include kicking people out of jerusalem, demolishing that homes. any sign of those coming into force yet? well indeed. yes. so just in the morning or james, there is rarely bulldozers have demolished, a garage owned by a philistine ian. and now at the moment, another housey owned by a palestinian is being seized by the israeli security force. and so here c one is quite a hot support located very close to the old city and takes place at this south of

us come mosque. so in this very packed place, there are 63000 palestinians leaving here just and still one. so there are more than full power and $650.00, demolishing orders issued by the israeli government. so practically, it means almost all of civil one. so if the decisions are executed, all sil, one is going to be taken from the palestinians rights just up the, the here in, in, in, in 202257 houses were demolished by the israeli security forces here down to the hill in elbows stand there are 116 demolishing, or there's a way thin. and then if you go up to the hill in baton and how we're that are also $68.00 of accretion orders that are awaiting. so as i said, just in this morning, one garage on by palestinian have been demolished,

and at the moment and at that house is been c. so this the mal demolitions excavations, ceiling ceiling off. the of the houses is happening on a regular basis here. so but yesterday the cabinet had adopted the draconian measures and now the situation is even getting worse because any time the houses off palestinians could be sealed off, ask away fit could be demolished, and they could be simply taken out of their houses either by the israeli government or by the saddlers here. thank you very much razzle who is not very far away in so i'm giving us the view from that which has been a place of real tension in the last couple of days. let's discuss this further. i'm showing by munos who's a resident of jerusalem. they've been taking the pulse, i think, from palestinians in east jerusalem for us. first,

these measures the security cabinet, say, all going to cow, palestinians, stop the attacks. this collective punishment revenge tactics, demolishing homes, kicking people out of jerusalem. what's the response from local people you've been speaking to? we we in these hills i'm, i'm not new to this occupation has been going on for the last 70 for the last 55 years. we've had these kind of collective punishments being implemented, lithonian both and also in the west bank before. so it is not necessarily a new technique technique but, but rather the new government, right. when government amazon is pushing further. if we, if we can say, pushing further palestinians, you know, if, if, if the police didn't commit an attack against them to take 5 days to close that house down the ship. now it's the pushing to make this one day, making your stripping away nationality and, and been away from palestinians is another way to push this thing as i was and cutting in many benefits,

they can make it take from the status is on the ballistic. this one says over, i mean, i don't see how these actions, the bit of it in a strengthening the 2nd thing it sands is going to make, but it's been afraid to make but expanding and not really tell you to not addressed if we're allowed to use them as this against this occupation. it's not new and i don't see hopefully the thing is i'm not going to, you know, now it's not, i don't see it holding off anything from doing anything for those who are planning to do anything. let me ask you about the diplomacy, the international diplomacy, the us secretary of state coming here. we know what the international community say they say 2 state solution. they say piece process, but they're dealing with ms. re, the government and israeli ministers. they don't believe in a 2 state solution, do they? so the policy and understanding is that it is not interested in 2 states and not this government another. this government obviously is on the right of the it is the service. and so that i, that we have got in terms of his id politics,

i will tell you, arguably from the existence of the, of his on a, when you know that go the left, you still form government and is not today the government and it's extreme. so obviously not interested in a 2 state solution and listening and over time, you know, it's also until today we're talking about 29 years of a promise to be it's peace pulses of a promise to the solution of a promise. developing states with eastern time, with capital, with promise, thomas promise, that stands that they have only lived to see this dream vanish to see this dream not happening. so talking again about 2 state solution is like talking about science fiction. now, from the perspective, you know, you can, you can, can go sit with the cabin, they talk about the 2 state solution, but obviously nothing is going to happen. this is a 100 percent belief that's nothing is going to come out of this talk about 2 state solution i would wanna select, shall i, resident to these 2 recent. thank you very much for joining us here. all now, which is 0. well, we're injury some sex to state blinking will be here for his talks with israeli

government. but on tuesday he's going to be going to remodel ramallah just 15 kilometers from here. seems close. but if you going to go there, you need the best part of an hour because you need to cross through that great big wall that israel has built between the and here and through checkpoints as, as well in the law. my colleague bernard smith is now bernard. first a new killing over night. in hebron, what do we know about the policy was killed that? what happened james, this was a not mangled, not see him out. abu food, or who was shot to these railey, say, because he was planning a ramming attack. that means he was driving his car at the time he hadn't carried out this. is that no evidence it carried out in the palestinians? say that he was just driving his car in the wrong place at the wrong time, but his death brings to now the number of 35 palestinians killed in confrontations

with israelis just in this month. so the death toll increasing almost on a daily basis as antony blinking is scheduled to arrive. yeah, and you say sac street blinked in coming here very so shortly going where you are to meet the policy and leadership. he's going to be beating the policy and pro present mahmoud abbas a president who is in the 17th year of what was supposed to be a 5 year term. tell us what people there in ramallah. think of the visit of secretary blinking. is there any hope in us diplomacy? is the u. s. in any way? seen as an honest broker any more? james, the the view here amongst the palestinians, is this very low expectations of, from what we're going to get out of anthony lincoln's visit. they don't believe that the current by the ministration is really interested in getting involved in

the israel palestinian conflict is interested in advancing peace stalks. so what are the palestinians hoping for? well, at least, but hoping that they can get the americans to persuade these ready to minimize the unilateral action israelis taking not is in terms of settlement construction that he's feeling up or destroying the homes of palestinians related to policy and alleged have been involved in tax on israeli, that sort of thing, keeping a lid on things the palestinians know the americans believe they've got big fish to plot fry with war and ukraine with, with iran, with china. so very little expectation here from the palestinians that they're going to get much from antony blinking. but at least i hope that blink can, can perhaps carry all coming out promises that the by the ministration to promise. when it came to power, they promised to reverse trump era action, such as reopening the policy, the consulate, the deals with palestinians in east jerusalem. the americans haven't done not yet.

they want the americans to allow the palestinian palo to open its representative office again in washington. dc that still hasn't gone through, so at least the palestinians hope the americans will carry out those promises they made when by the administration came into power. james, but it's smith's in ramallah. thank you very much. when we saw that attack on thursday, the raid in jeanine, it was followed a by a response from hamas rockets far to men and israeli response in garza, in gaza. city, my colleague, emron. com. they were fears on that nights on thursday night that perhaps this was gonna turn out, turn into another all out war emron i have those fears now receded or not they haven't receded. there's still people very, very worried about what will happen in the coming days in the coming few weeks. now, like you say that there was a response to the attacks of janine,

we don't know whether it was a mass. we don't know whether his loan to hat, it was simply the palestinian factions officially, the responded, but they knew that that attack would be a deflated be would be deflected by the israeli rocket defenses in the i don't went into these really city of ashland and these railways for there are moment bombed, ah, mt targets that they knew wouldn't escalate the war, but the palestinian position in gauze is always been very, very clay. it's about occupied easter islam is about occupied westbank or encouraging people to rise up and fight the occupation. they keeping a very close eye on it, they all ready to escalate. they say a for the red lines across, but you have to ask yourself what those red lines are actually spoke to. one of them asked officially said, you'll know the red lines when you see them, so a lot of nervousness as to what might be coming in the next few weeks. the big ferries that one of these is hackers will be linked to say is like,

you had here in the gaza strip or hamas. and that would mean a retaliation by the israelis and that could lead to an escalation. thank you very much. iran in garza, well we are now joined by our senior political analyst mon bushera. my one lets you take stock of the situation and the u. s. diplomacy that's taking place here. from my conversations with diplomats from other members of the international community. they don't like to see the us start to condemn some of the heavy handed tactics of israel and to actively get laur involved in diplomacy. in the past, of course we've had shuttle diplomacy from the u. s. we special envoys appointed. do you think we're going to see anything like that from the, by the ministration? you know, it doesn't seem like it. they say if it's, if it's gone away and we would have seen some clouds. and clearly the,

by the ministration has its focus elsewhere. notably in ukraine, but also in domestic affairs. and i think the president just considers nathan, you know, you know, his best friend and sees that any pressure on israel will simply backfire in the united states in washington itself in congress that he needs badly at this point. in time, and he also thinks, i mean by that, that there is no real horizon that these radios are simply not going to accept the minimal require rental fees, which is some sort of our roadmap towards that to start solution or the beginning of a withdrawal. or freezing the settlement and so on, so forth. but what we see is something completely opposite. what we see is, is there an escalating and we see a new israeli government that's the most fanatic in its history. that is really interested in escalation. we have ministers that haven't political view of the

future of palestine. and so what the, by the ministration could do at best, at this point in time, is simply try to call in the situation as it where. but even calming the situation is going to require some pressure and the pressure is not i think up the new nathan government while claims to be de escalate is in fact escalating and not only in palestine, but seemingly, i guess there on my one let me bring in what seems when you 1st look at it to be completely separate story, which is this news of a military operation is really military operation in iran is for hon. i'm taking out a nuclear related site there, but i'm all right and being a bit suspicious that this news is coming out. now as the u. s. secretary of state

is here because we know that president prime minister netanyahu likes it so much more about iran and he does about the palestinians. absolutely. and there is a long record of that. we know that since 2009, when he 1st became prime minister in his 2nd term, he basically insisted to then the obama administration, when by them was vice president. that it, but a stand is not the issue that the issue was iran, and he kept on insisting. and he found that to be the best way possible to avoid speaking about a sty, documentation of palestine, or by deflecting and speaking or by the threat of iran. and now he continues to do so. and as you said, is not coincidental. white israel is involved in and i said mitchell warfare in palestine basically in organized army with battalions proliferating would then occupy thirty's against basically individuals and groups. and that's not doing very

well. it seems they are involved in some sort of proxy or perhaps conventional and other forts of warfare against the one, whether it's in syria and lebanon, or that directly it seems now against the or on, on both cases. james, what we are seeing is really catastrophic escalation because in palestine we are seeing a vision of apocalypse and against iran. we're seeing the prospects of regional war . so i'm not sure exactly what is the calculus of the nathaniel government or what the united states is going to do about it. but unless it does something quickly, i think the escalation in palestine and the interest of these fanatics within days are in the government to form the way they feed on bloodshed and violence. as all fanatics do. and the way this could escalate against iran within the region that

does not bode well for stability for peace and certainly does not board white for anyone's interest. we might see some serious violence moving forward within palestine, but also in the region. do you think? oh that it complicates things the palestinian decision to go to the international court of justice and will certainly these railey government hates that. but what is the biden administration going to say about that? do you think and do you think that further compliment capote complicates the diplomacy? what james, you are in are probably the leading expert on the united nations and, and what's happening there. but let me just say that the palestinian authority goes to the united nations, out of desperation, not out of strategy, simply because there is nothing else they could do. they move in to try to get,

to extract some sort of symbolic because and end of the day they are symbolic resolutions from the united nations that don't add up to anything regardless whether they're happening in europe or in new york. but in the end of the day, neither the international criminal court nor the curtain international court of justice or the united nations will be able to change any of the situation the ground. so these resolutions are symbolic, and the, and the policy, you know how to do that. i tried through its various sir, you know, are part of these factor and others to stage some sort of popular resistance. press a pacifist or piece for the possible raising flags. crossroads or voice, i think there's really supplements and so on, so forth. none of that has worked out. so the c o thought is losing steam and losing popularity because it had to call them a security with a red. none of it worked out a lot is this is not what cannot be, not this,

this is not getting evolved international. give me there's not getting involved. united nations resolutions are not helping out. so what we're seeing now is individuals and group stepping up on trying to carry some sort of on the resistance against occupation. and that does undermine the procedural dorothy and clearly needs escalation. so the policy hurt is really getting more, more desperate. and it's trying to rely in the united states, but the united states has long term. it's back on the phone, it's all in bush. thank you very much. you'll continue to watch very closely what happens during the plane can visit as a say. he's been in caro on his way here, expected to land in the next couple of hours and will continue to monitor it from here in jerusalem from ramallah and garza over the coming day. sammy, thanks so much. james base, their reporting to us from the occupy bear is over jerusalem.

are still ahead on al jazeera, no mosques indoors, south korea lift the last of the car with 19 restrictions as cases fall. you know, fistfights. yeah. we were, we were, we definitely had some passionate words about the meaning of film. and the 1st in person, sundance film festival in 2 years wraps up in utah. ah . right. looks like proper winton add another bout of significance that on its way through good part of the european plain overseas, especially in the mountains. that's one of the reasons for it. but the following tight lines mean he's going to be windy too. so here's the picture for monday, then there's the obvious know, running through. there are warnings in the czech republic, for example of

a snow drifts forming. they'll be wanting to leave the place of snow falling, the temperatures about where they should be. low single figures, the most part that's extended right now beyond the eci and in the eastern mediterranean studies. okay. for spain and portugal that still cooler than you might want it to be. snows formally, mountain tops, and some of the barriers cotton's prague shows the forecast, which could be typical of central europe the next couple of days. it might be snowing and then maybe you'll get slightly less cold. so rain or sleet is more likely. here's the big picture for tuesday, then the main bell to snow breaks up and goes south followed by this mixture of radiance. now which would be rather nasty to driving. for example, still windy weather through the british isles and running through denmark in the far north, northern coast of germany as well. but this head down for the cold air towards the eastern mediterranean. because here is most likely to affect north africa, libya towards carter and the levant, particularly wet and windy, ah,

talk to, i'll just a bend in by the international community. we listen, we have a huge price for the rural. i'm going to terrorist that's going on in some money. we meet with global news making. i'm talk about the store respect on al jazeera. oh, a with a ward winning documentary from around the world,

which is 0. a ah, welcome back here watching. i'll just hear a time to recap on headlines. the secretary of state is due to arrive in jerusalem in a few hours from now on a visit. overshadowed by spiraling tensions between israelis and palestinians as the bank and is currently in egypt. as of is the least tool. israel forces of shot and killed the 26 year old palestinian man who they say was attempting an attack. it was killed near a check point to hebron and be occupied by bank. $35.00 palestinians had been

killed by israeli forces, and specialists saw the year and breaking news out of focused on the blasts is route to pass a mosque in the northwest and city for showered at least 22 people have been killed and hundreds injured. go to come out higher in islamabad for bring us up to date. now with where things stand there when you mention the dead door of god, climb to drain. to do so, it's in the saying that some of the wounds are in critical condition and that door may go higher. now also rear door that 150 people are wounded. the explosion work for that part of the structure game down. many of the paperwork crushed under the debris and he gets all of on august on also in the last few minutes, had claimed responsibility for the diag saying that this was in revenge to the

killing of commando mer. holler horizontally or was carried in a roadside bomb and no one is on and all good lot. yeah. so and did the late case of god, senior question as to how the suicide bomber would fall for the explosive, able to get into a highly, to come up with these lines. if it's rated in a center for jaw, off, go to the governor, how that you minutes out. and if he were able to be on the front row or a new designated explosive, the leader of the congregational, often on bread, also amongst the dead. and a few questions about the preparedness, despite the fact that the police had the number of attacks against them. and. busy although the police had been fighting and the advisors that been rendered by them,

they have complained that they don't have the kind of equipment that, that he gets all a bond focused on fight does have including term, an image. the goals which target for nice men and the date of the night. i know it's all good for us to get a weapon. all right, thanks so much. come on. hi, the reporting hoster from bad. let's continue this here in the studio and we have our corresponded some of innovative. he's of course spent a lot of time you've been out and about, and some of those areas the blast has occurred as famine. so let's start, 1st of all the, the history of trouble say this doesn't come out of the blue, does it? absolutely not. although this is the deadliest attack that we've seen this year. a brazen attack and secure red lines inside the mosque where report saw that they were army personnel, security personnel from the bomb disposal score. police. this is where they usually go and pray and congregate during these times. so assuming that we had to get through some security to go inside the most inside a police station. absolutely. so this is a red zone inside the shower city. and in the red zone in the century is the most

of them being able to go through all of these checkpoints surely needs a lot of question marks. but to me back to you question, this is not not coming out of the blue. in the last 6 to 8 months, we've seen a spike in attacks against pakistan. the security forces, mainly the police personnel who are usually in small groups patrolling the streets, guarding remote areas and frontier constabulary and from day corps. well, and these are the people on the ground and in the last few years, although the situation has come down as compared to what it was in 2008 into 2012. but the situation still remains tense. there are groups that have been operating in this area by cosigning government have been carrying out various operations to route out these what it called miscreants and militants from the tribal areas as well as settled areas. and we've got of course say there's been no crime of responsibility so far, right. so we can't say who's done it, but there was

a dynamic going on last fear of peace talks between the pakistan taliban and the government. and that broke down, right the by sunday, telephone call, the t t p. has been talking to the bucks. plenty government ever since they have gone taliban came to power packets on long standing claim has been that these are groups which operate from the african soil. the african taliban actually facilitated these talks between the buckets, money taliban, and the bucks money government, which broke down because the dollar on demands, according to the back of the government were outrageous because it wanted to carry arms. it wanted the government to go back on the merger of the tribal areas to a province, and it wanted a release of prisoners which were not acceptable to the funding states. so those talks have broken down. and there's been us one way declaration of war from the t t p or the bucket, finally volleyball towards the pakistani state in the last few weeks, almost on a daily basis. there are police personnel that are being targeted. there are military personnel which are being targeted,

their attacks that are taking place. there is extortion that is happening in some areas of focus on from these groups. so clearly there is a lack of security and safety, which is felt amongst the people who are living in the very than in the last few months. they've come out in their hundreds to protest against this spike. overtax and intimidation from verizon groups including the $1.00 money $1.01. now in addition to that political dynamic, we've got an economic dynamic going on in pakistan, right? they're up against them hard times and one has to wonder how that's impacting the authorities ability to not only project their power and control over these areas, but also to provide basic services. absolutely. so the police has been on the front lines during the so called war on terror, which buckets on with a partner up. and they are one of the most lowest and the lowest trained personnel on the ground when it comes to focus on economic situation. it's teetering on the brink of collapse right now. it might not be able to balance its payments unless

the money from m. f comes through and the brunt of it goes into cuts in public services. you have that doesn't help you. and when you as a government, i want to integrate these, these areas more in, within my control, what, prevention? and then you have to realize the mechanics of the dichotomy of power is bent. so there is the provincial government, which is responsible for the control of cities, et cetera, and then the vital responsibility of the federal government. and here in the shower, especially in the tribal areas in the north west of focus on where there's been a porous border for hundreds of kilometers between of going to fund these groups have been able to operate freely. these have been carrying out these attacks and the people in these areas are fed up and they don't seem to have any life at the end of the tunnel, especially when it comes to the economic situation. and there's a tassel that is going on for who's going to pay the salaries. it was going to increase training. how are these resources going to come from where they're from? the federal government are the provincial government. of course, it is early days to talk about how this will impact the security apparatus in

pakistan. but it is a clear indication where the state is not being able to live up to its promise of providing security and safety to all of it's not necessarily easy times to come there. thanks so much. it's been jervey because you've been watching that area. i'm sure you continue to do it for us, but thanks for coming in the studio, you know, the democratic republic of congo government as launched an operation to retake the strategic town of china and 23 rebels sees the town to the east of the country on 1st day off the days of fierce fighting regional leaders broke an agreement in november and $23.00 fighters would withdraw from seas physicians in the east by january, the 15th, or malcolm when joins us live from concerto. so 1st of all, how is that offensive going? residence of nearby towns and villages say began with a barrage about sunrise,

the attack overwhelming and inhumane. she wants answers. she's spoken val just here is gabriel alexander. i want to welcome you to the house. come on. but teresa robinson is a member of the memphis city council. so she was shown the video of the beating of tyree nichols of the hands of police before it was released to the public and we share with the world. i was all the way up when we were so sound that video. i saw it with my own ass and into person sitting in on a brown leaning up against the car and no wine given them any attention. seeing and bleed and in pain act, it was just an humane. there's still a lot of unanswered questions into the death of tyree nichols, including why police even pulled him over in his car in the 1st place. even

robinson, as a high ranking city official, has still not gotten an answer to that question. they keep telling me it was for a traffic offense. but from the video that i've seen, i can't hear why they stopped him, but was even more deplorable to me. why would you be angry when you just stop somebody for a traffic i violation? why do anything they never told him why we even pulled him over. oh, why we even trying to hang up you. he had no idea. and to me now was the saddest part. this is the big grey girl. oh, the lawyer for nichols family has praised the memphis police for the swift punishment of the officers. yes. but within 3 weeks, all the officers were fired. criminal charges were pressed against them. and all were arrested. we're doing all that we'd noted to robinson thinks that sets

a good example separating bad police from the good once they, i know they are great people there. i have worked with great police officers. you have bad players everywhere. but the system may not be such that we can act readily identify who those may or players are. and that's something we've gotta get in place immediately because we don't want this to happen again. now i'm going to have citizens who are afraid of the police as well. so what do you do? and city leaders like robinson are in the middle of self reflection on policing and likely will be for a long time to come. gabriel sandow al jazeera memphis, a controversial pension reform spell has been tabled in the french assembly president emanuel microns proposed legislation plans to raise the retirement age from 62. to 64,
