from the al jazeera london broadcast center to people in thoughtful conversation, i got much worse racism when i was at the university of oxford, which really scared me because i was like these people are going to be in positions of power with no host and no limitations empire is the reason that we live in a multicultural society part 2 of 5. the shaheen and adam rather fit studio b unscripted on out his era. i didn't cover all of latin america for most of my career, but no country is alike. and it's my job to shed light on how and why lou. at least 34 people have been shot dead and over a 100 or other killed brother and a 100 injured in the suicide bomb attack. inside the mosque,

we focused on the city of fish shower. ah, san jose dan. this is al jazeera live from dough hall. so coming up here, a secretary of state anthony blinking, arrives in tel aviv as tensions between israelis and palestinians. spiral us confirms israel kara, down to a drone attack on a military facility in iran. the democratic republic of congo lodge is not for asian to retake the strategic town of could change from level forces. ah, an explosion has ripped apart or mosque in pakistan's, northwestern city of per shower. at least 34 people have been killed around a 150 injured. many of those are in critical condition to where you could taliban pakistan the orchestra. the taliban has claimed sponsibility,

they must not be reports. the rescuers race to search for survivors following an explosion during afternoon prayers and a mosque and to shower. the blast so powerful the police say hundreds of people were in the mosque at the time. the. those able to pull themselves out from under the rubble the body on got out the injured and taken to hospital. the dead bodies are all inside the mosque, buried under the magic. and that in one of the hospitals across the provincial capital are on high alert. the many of the casualties are members of pakistan, security services gathered the table the, the target of the attack,

the neighborhood mosque of a housing complex, in one of the most tightly controlled parts of the city. home to members of security services, including the police army and bomb disposal units. the incident is a major security breach. the pakistani taliban says it is retaliation for the killing of hollow core, a son, one of its founding members and a senior leader in august. and last year and it's more attacks or come in basra v o d 0. now the focused on the thought yvonne has been fighting the government for more than 15 years. shares ethnic and ideological ties with the afghan tale bomb. last june, the focused on the tardy bond and to seize fire with the government off the talks broken by the afghan tale bond. but in november, the pakistani told yvonne ended the seas accusing the military of expanding attacks on them. since then,

the group is in. it's offensive ambushing. police military patrols wants the government to release its members from prison and reduce military presences in former tribal regions. thought han as a journalist based in islamabad. he says the group will continue to oppose security challenges until the afghan taliban stops that support. when the t v was, i'm in 2007 by it's a missile was killed in don't fight in 2009. since then until now the d. p, be considered declared illegal to the alarm that if they consider the land, if you want to do the go, the live on chief, he issued an audio message, again is august 20 judicial system. and then the audio was released by the d. p. p from the official. so it means they're still how submitted it be in thinking. and when i wanted one, what had, in fact the sun in the america started was going to pass on. so they came here and

there will be of the, the guest by just on that one know, 5, your sunday live on that here, i guess. so i don't think the battle and despite pressure, despite by your sanity to demand a medical statement, i don't think that one valley bomb will take any action. again the p t p. you've got a bill all if you see ation submitted be in or because you had the thinking in progress and i would say in a big trouble in today you want this thing happened when the american space and why if i don't want to stand on risk he's in the summer, he's willing touch with the the biggest on health issue. so i will say this is of a to see this yet, and now that i want i was ordered in denial. don't anyone even make that progress on that one operate? so this is allow very complicated issue for august on how to be with the t v p. well, the secretary of state is in tell of eve on a visit seen as a test of the biden administration's middle east policy, anthony blink, and is due to meet these ready to ship at

a time of deepening anger and mistrust. your whole discussions with the palestinian president, mahmoud bass on tuesday. ours before berlin can land another. palestinian was shot and killed by israeli forces in the occupied west bank. well, that took the number of palestinians killed this month to $35.00. it's ready forces of the gun ceiling homes of suspected palestinian attackers as they enforced the harsh measures announced by the far right government after a string of violent incidents, the weekend. diplomatic it is a james phase is that mount olives in occupied east jerusalem. it tells us more about lincoln's comments upon his arrival. we've seen in recent history, previous presidencies and previous top diplomat to set up the shuttle diplomacy. we've had special envoys to really negotiate between the 2 sides that i don't think is what secretary blinking is here to do. he's talking about restraint.

invite a short time ago. we saw him arrive at been going in airport in tennessee. he'll then and right now he's making his way to jerusalem for a meeting in the next hour or so with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. when he arrived, when he came down, the cross that he spoke briefly to reporters condemning recent violence fridays attack was more than an attack on individuals. it was also an attack on the universal act of practicing one's faith. we condemn it. in the strongest terms, we also condemn a subsequent terrorist attack in jerusalem on saturday in which a father and son were wounded. and we condemn all those who celebrate these and any other acts of terrorism taken this in lives, no matter who the victim is or what they believe. and you'll see that and i'm sure it was noted by many who are watching palestinians that there was reference of

course to violence which killed israelis, but no reference to what happened on thursday in janine and that very large palestinian death. so that's the sort of thing that will, i think be remarked on here. bernard smith is live for us in ramallah. but 1st let's go over dora, sol, sound about in sil, one and occupied east jerusalem. there's been a lot of told why israeli officials about demolition, stripping people of citizenship and residency rights. always seeing that kind of thing. starting already in the it's sammy, we are a see in the impact of the decision made by the israeli screwed the cabinet yesterday and the day before already here. so today in the morning is rally and bulldozers have the monastery garage on by a palestinian family and then another house of palestinian. and the family has been seized by these righty. security forces later or did his ready forces have storm

into the funeral house off off where the abbey removes a boy, a 16 years old boy that has been killed a week ago by israeli forces. and the family of the boy says that the for that, israeli, a security forces storming into the house. they confiscated the fun. they fornes more by fornes to erase their the recordings or that shows the assault or the israeli forces. there was to say that they had been beaten by, by, by israel leah forces here. so the family is demanding the body off the boy to be returned or to be handed over to their family. because so far, disraeli authorities are keeping that the body that, that by the or 16 years old boy. so that, that we can see that the constant bullying and the provocation is, is, is going on here. and the israeli forces are showing no sign off of the di escalation due to deescalate distribution here. so in sit when in this very packed area, there are 63000 palestinians are living here. and the israeli government has already

issued 4650. demolishing orders, and if these orders are implemented, it's simply impractical. it means that there will be no palestinians left you. all of them are going to be forced to leave their homes and without knowing where to go . so right over there, you can see where the a hela at the starting at the south of alex a mosque. and they're, they're escalations conducted by d by, by, by the israelis. and they said that they are looking for the remaining of the area of king davis. so true that escalations palestinians, i'd be forced to leave their homes right down here, down to the hill. this is al boston and you see the houses owned by palestinians. now these rental authorities are, seemed at these houses are going to be demolished and the area is going to be turned into a national park. so up to the heel. it is out metal. how are and then at 116

demolish in orders from the israeli, or thought it is regarding but nell howell as well. so the mood here, sammy, is quite tense among the palestinians because now any time they're us, it could be confiscated. their hands could be sealed, or for them their houses could be demolished, and that to be honest, a here were when we are doing this live right down there. we can see that israeli waterfall is, is still patrolling across the day across the, the area, the district here. and it is, it is, it is a kind of woolly and, and, and also added the pro occasions that are now going on. and the seizures that had been made by the by did the district cabinet are remarkable in terms of not they are going to go after the individuals did the attackers. but the at the deer extended families and whoever is related to that n one can be accused of the relating to related to an attackers. and also another

decision of making access to the weapons easier by, by the, the, the thousands of the s did the israeli civilians aussies quite dangerous because the settlers here is ready. settlers here are already heavily armed. and so, given more weapons to the settlers that, that could escalate the situation here even further. i could stop there from russell's or the, let's take this now the bernice smith, his life for us in ramallah. are the palestinians keeping any hope her high for the secretary of state to contribute something to dear skeletal. resolve the key issues some a very low expectations here that blank, antony blinking or can achieve anything the palace scenes. don't believe that this current u. s. administration is interested in advancing talks between the israelis and the palestinians and doesn't leave was any plan for it to do so. so what the palestinian authority will at least try to do is ask the americans to concentrate

on things it can immediately do in terms of getting his rail to roll back on some of the unilateral measures, it's taking whether that is demolishing or ceiling up the homes that a wrestle was just talking about, whether it's freezing any further expansion of settlements or even the treatment of palestinian prisoners in his railey jails, which has become much tougher in recent times because the minister in charge those prisoners is that far out extremist, it my bank of air in netanyahu's cabinet. so the polish tip palestinians, concentrating on that, they'd also like the by done ministration to follow through on promises. it's made to reverse that. some of the policies of the trump administration by the administration has promised to reopen the u. s. consulate in east jerusalem that that deals with palestinian affairs. that hasn't happened yet. and they promised to allow the p l. o the palestine liberation organization to open a reopen is representative office in washington d. c. that hasn't happened yet either. but the palestinians also know that

politically, it's easier for the u. s. administration to criticize and arm twist the palestinian authority publicly than it is for them to do anything against the netanyahu and his railey government. my thanks so much bernard smith. yes, media are quoting, a government official is saying, israel is behind a drone strike as an iranian military facility. officially, the state department is refused to comment, as has israel rogers condemned the attack. it comes during heightened tensions in the region as on the consumed sharif reports. this footage, add on iranians. take television, purports to show damage to a military facility near the central city of is for han. it also broadcast the debris of what it called bomb caring. trump, the defense ministry says at least one was intercepted and shot down there and

blames israel for the attack in there for the army. this cowardly attack was carried out against us. our security bodies are powerfully acting to ensure maximum national security and such moves can't impact on nuclear scientists will and intentions to achieve peaceful nuclear energy. several incidents have been reported at iranian military facilities in recent years, including a fire and a black out. although provides few details thereon blaine's as while and describes them as targeted the tax iran facing criticism on separate from at the moment the west has condemned to supplying russia with happens for the war in ukraine. uranium enrichment has resumed as talks to revive the nuclear deal have been stalled since september and have been months of anti government protests for the death of a young woman in custody. it does, nevertheless achieve several israeli object. if 1st one being that israel is under

increasing pressure to side with ukraine against russia, these ratings have for almost a year now held out to avoid taking sides because of their own vulnerability to russia. and this strike enables the israelis to make the argument that yes to not providing workers to the ukrainians, but instead they are targeting iran who has been supporting russia is foreigners, by 440 kilometers from rome. it houses a large base and several nuclear energy research and production site among them, the towns which is at the center of iran's nuclear development program. when we consume sharif, i'll just lever those. giovanni has more from her on now. there is an official who has been speaking to al jazeera and this person is saying that the initial reports indicate that israel is behind this attack that took place on saturday evening at

near s 5. now, at the source who's been speaking to al jazeera said that the investigation of course is continuing. and that once it is proven that israel is behind this attack, then iran will respond accordingly. he also went on to say that this is something the israeli government has chosen to carry out it to try and really as spin and narrative that this attack was successful. but according to radians, officials, as well as a defense ministry, these many drones that were launched on this site were not successful and they didn't manage to actually cause that much damage. this official has also told us that this incident is now escalating. the war of words that have been ongoing between israel and iran over the past few months. this is not the 1st incident. we've seen it taking place in terms of sabotage when it comes to iran. various facilities, insensitive at sites. the last one though, it was in the summer of 2021 when

a facility in carriage that is in the outskirts of the capital, teheran was attacked by a drone. that is where a sensor features would be made for iran's nuclear program. this incident certainly comes at a time when many parties in the region believe that the tensions between the 2 countries are escalating to an all time high. i'm still ahead and i'll just there are no mom been doors at south korea lift the last of it's covered 900 restrictions as cases for the death toll in the ukrainian city of her son continues to rise. russia strikes the town. ah, ah, that time the philippines get back to wet weather, but also to stand the tend to get it further south and west to clean the lazier

main, the malaysia. so over borneo then back in towards just catching singapore too. it's a sudden sumatra as well. and java, we've got this arish, i think we'll see repeated thunder soaps and the potential for flooding that north about the story has been of snow. and although the snow looked little bit weaker on tuesday because the air isn't as cold, it still heading for han shoe, hawkeye dough. the others feeding into nothing like his cold either that cold air has gone back over to the himalayas it's leaking out into western china at the moment is very warm here. pounds $21.00 above it should be schanzer at 13. now those temperatures will drop as the cold air is leaking out and will bring with it some cloud and eventually rain. but at the same time, a strength in the wind here means significant snow and increased avalanche risk, cra, honju, and carter. so changes taking place all over east asia, but it's our smallest normal winter. likewise in india, the problem is always been a quality in the door for india and pakistan. that's like to get worse again. think

over the next day or so because nothing's changed. yeah. but you see, for the soft tickler focusing on sri lanka, significant rain is on his way. ah, talk to al jazeera, we are a band in by the international community. we listen, we are p shooting for the war against terrorism that's going on. so my, we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter. one al jazeera, there is no channel that covers world news like we do, we revisit places state just there are really invest in that. and that's the privilege. as a journalist. oh,

the me watching. i'll just remind you about headlines now. at least 34 people have been killed after a blast destroy the mosque and pucks tom's northwestern city of the shower and other 150. a wounded. many of them seriously. the arm group to he gets out of bond focused on claimed responsibility. do a secretary of state anthony blinking his landed in salivate for to day visits. and israel and the occupied westbank trip comes amid writhing pensions between. busy israelis and palestinians earlier on mondays, reading forces shopping kill the 26 year old palestinian man, i say was attempting an attack. he was killed near a check point. hebron in the occupied west bank democratic republic of congo governments has launched an operation to retake this strategic town of could china and 23 rebels. seize the town of east of the country on 1st day off the days of

fierce fighting regional leaders. broken agreements in november and 23 fighters were supposed to withdraw from marius, seized in the east by january. the 15th malcolm webb has more from kinshasa residents, by towns and villages. se began with a silvery sunrise, fired by the communist government towards the town of tango. and it's widely reported that the government forces fighting alongside a coalition of armed groups known as a c p to providing the infantry for this event that the government denies supporting and fighting with the groups. now we're also hearing from local press residents and 23 flights of launch the counter offensive that trying it take from the government forces the town of where so where so where the government forces retreated to last week when i was 23, took the town of kit anger and if m 23 can take where so they'll be on their way to

the town of sar kaye. if they reach there they will have succeeded in circling the city of goma the provincial capital. now m $23.00 is widely understood to be backed by neighboring rwanda. its fighters have been photographed alongside rwandan soldiers. they were rwandan equipment. congolese, military sources say that they've received substantial reinforcements from rwanda just in the last week or they were wonder, denies backing. am 23. ukraine says russia has targeted residential areas in the northeastern city of hard cave and have saw in the south. at least 4 people have been killed and several injured in the attack. president below them is the landscape urging allies to speed up the supply of long range missiles. tasha her name has more it is and relenting. this is car. keep a city that is endured almost constant russian attacks in the nearly year long war

and usually don't know like normal ago i was in my bed and i was thinking, thinking up, think like you like. and suddenly a strong force. what me up. i flew out of bed right into the kitchen cooking, how i was not killed. i do not know. grains president, val, autumn years, the lensky has urged allies to speed up the delivery of weapons, especially long range missile. neither it would be possible to stop this russian terror for could provide all military with adequate missiles. so the terrorists did not have a sense of impunity. ukraine needs long range missiles, in particular to remove the possibility of the occupy, of placing its missile launchers far from the frontline and destroy ukrainian cities with them in care saw in the south, a hospital was among the buildings, hit ukrainian troops retook the city in november and russian troops withdrew to

positions across the disney bro river. but the bombardment has continued the last few days have seen intensive shelling. there is no respite for the people here. natasha g. a name l to 0. wearing se, se masks in most indoor places will no longer be mandatory in south korea. sol is lifting that requirement, which is the last remaining cove at 19 restriction from brian as more from saw doing this before. now not wearing a mask in a public space like this could have landed you with an $80.00 fine. now a finally from monday, the indoor mask mandate that's been enforced for well over 2 years has been lifted . it comes with a mark decline and the number of new cobit 19 cases on monday that the more than 7000, that's the lowest. it's been for 7 months. compare it with around this time. last year, when they were recording around half

a 1000000 cases or more every single day, there are still some exceptions. you still have to wear masks on public transport and in medical facilities like hospitals and pharmacies. but in spite of the mandate suddenly being lifted, there is little evidence that people are giving up their masks and that's almost to be expected. they lifted the outdoor mask mandate last meg, and yet, by and large people outdoors are still wearing their masks. there are a few different reasons for this. people are still nervous about the virus also because people are unsure about when they can and can't wear their mask or dispense with their mask. it's just easier to keep it on. and also, this is a place where the very high degree of compliance people by a large follow the rule. so, 3 years ago when they were told to wear masks, every one did, and have continued to wear them through the pandemic. it does seem 3 years on that there is a habit that is now very difficult to give up. new zealand is bracing for more

severe weather. rain warnings are in place for the top of the north island for the coming days. at least 4 people have died since friday. storms caused flash, floods and landslides. the state of emergency remains in place, the largest city war, clint, my focus and the focus of central government is supporting oakland through what is still a big challenge ahead of them. there's a big clean up to go and of course, we know through the forecasts that there is more bad weather heat. let's go back now to our top story. the mosque attack in pakistan. come on high. those outside the lady reading hospital and the shower where many of be injured are being treated . so come on, what's the situation there? right. as you can see, the crowd waiting outside day. i've got to go over hundreds of doors, policemen who wound

a some of them are in serious condition. everybody would want to know what's happening inside the emergency ward, which had been up, got busy at that door to climb. now we're getting also more details dishwasher and data suicide bomber d was able to move back in the police lines. and what able to get into that march? where do you get your noted there? why guarding to the hospital? so some of the wounded are still in critical condition, which means that the door could go even higher and of course, shaw and other major garage buggers. dawn had been poured on a heightened state of alert shaw, where did that city were just seen deadly or die? deadly a dag over the years and enrich hundreds of people have been carried so they are not. this is not something that had happened before, but people of course, i didn't shop on the congregation and bread in the afternoon. hired to hundreds of

people. the explosion was so ball for that it brought down part of the structure. so everybody now waiting to read the debt, don't go then i've got the hospital right now. hard trying to save lives. all right. come all at the same time while this is going on. give us an idea of the back story to this. this doesn't come out of the blue. does it? absolutely. because after did that, did he get dollar bond focused on took responsibility for the shit died. they said this was the avenger tag. for one of the senior leaders of the day that $1.01 focused on college. horace sonny was killed in a roadside bomb and i've run this done and all good. and that's what the revenge

are diagnosed. it should also be remembered that budget on a government board in talks with a $30.00 bond bug just on an order to find a peaceful schedule demand. however, door stock broke down a few months ago after the $30.00 bond budget on guard all day. she fire a day or they've been able to cross the border from one just on have now along the border where they're hiding and they're very active because the high book doing well proven deadlier. dag over the past few weeks, then raise your number of police or fisher. they've been getting there for being targeted. policemen have been killed in the nation on the dreaded show, the $51.00, ready on red alert enough. gosh, they will be serious questions as to all that suicide bomber was able to go over it into a much situated and they were red zone which i the governor.
