was you with to 150, short documentaries from african filmmakers from booking of fossil and kenya lee, it's really important to teach stuff as it comes in bill, something that i can be proud of, the painting and g hines that africa direct on al jazeera hope. francis is set to visit the democratic republic of congo and south to dawn in a trip that is meant to heal the wounds that is still bleeding. will the pontiff visit started chapter of peace and reconciliation ending the internal conflicts of these 2 nations? pope in africa on al jazeera ah what we're seeing now. home city, a shrinking brightness. how expanding one event to. we believe

america's top diplomat wraps off his visit to the middle east saying a 2 state solution is still a priority. ah, hello, i'm molly inside. this is alan. is there a lie from jo, also coming up, an inquiry set up to identify security breaches after at least a 100 people were killed and monday, suicide bloss. that of mosque in boxed on 2 years since ministry sees power in mia mall were report on accusations of deliberate targeting of civilians and a special report from inside the country. just as the time with the family of a black man killed at the hands of u. s. police officers gather as a historic memphis church on the eve of his funeral.

ah, you as secretary of state antony blinkin has warned israel and palestine that the u . s. suppose is anything that puts a 2 state solution further out of reach, but he stopped short of making any concrete pledges. lincoln is now concluded his trip to the region of to holding talks with palestinian president man made a bass, says some members of his team will stay on to help defuse current tensions and at the worst violence seen in the occupied west bank in east to west lemon. yes, bernard smith reports now from ramallah in his meeting with the palestinian president, the u. s. secretary of state sticks with the line that washington remains committed to a palestinian state alongside israel. but antony blinking knows it's a diminishing prospect. we have been clear and consistent. neither side should take any, you know, or actions that right now potentially would,

would add fuel to a fire and over the medium to long term ah, would make go the prospects of achieving 2 states even more distant than, than they currently are. so far, $35.00 palestinians have been killed this year in confrontations with israeli security forces. benjamin netanyahu returned to power in december and appointed far right. politicians and religious nationalists in senior cabinet posts. one of them national security minister, it mar, been given, has promised to give more gum permits to israeli citizens and expand illegal settlements in the occupied west bank. and then there's a very high risk of escalation. the, this new israeli government is very fast. it's far right on it's very intent on committing inflicting violence upon palestinians. and in fact, you know, they're, they're political mandates are where, where premised on that. so i think in the weeks, in the months to come,

we're going to see a cooler regime of occupation inflicted upon the palestinian people. but mood abass and the palestinian authority are reliant on international pressure to make sure israel honors its commitments when it comes to the occupation of east jerusalem on the west bank. we want a complete cessation of all unilateral is really actions that undermine all signed agreements. it is the mean way back to re engage politically and end the occupation . the heads of the jordanian and egyptian intelligence agency sat down with a bass head of his meeting with blinking an indication of the concern in the region about the security situation here. it's understood, they asked the palestinian president to adopt a flexible position with the americans. the palestinian authority wasn't expecting much reminds me of lincoln's visit, certainly not a commitment to re engage on the peace process with israel. the u. s. is concentrated on the war in ukraine. threats from iran and its relationship with

china was certainly no evidence of any real pressure to stop a slide into a wider conflict. here. the palestinians are on their own. bernard smith, al jazeera ramallah, has sham yourself as a senior fellow at the united states institute of peace. he explains why the 2 state solution is still viable. there are diminishing prospects, but at the end of the day, this is what is agreed at the international level. and this is the position of the palestinian people and the policy, the leadership. and this is what was proposed in accordance to the ada, please initiative. that was adopted by both countries, and it's then the countries, so it still is supported politically at international level. and then at the states is not alone in asking for the establishment of police in state in accordance with the attic piece. and they need to see how this would be achieved. they need to

see a political poses that will lead to focus in this direction. but this is what they haven't seen for the last 2 years from the current administration. so this is why we would have to see how this can be advanced in the time to come. and if it doesn't, this would not, oh good. well and it would result in instability in occupied territories and beyond division this way. they're not. it states that presented a modest objective for this mission, which is the escalation. and they indicated that they will keep a team to continue to work, to see whether they will achieve this object or not. of course, on the bigger picture in relation to advancing the prospects of the said, nothing has happened and nothing, nothing is expected to happen as a result of this visit. but then, as far as the escalation is concerned, and additional steps that are being taken by the current extremist as a government,

this needs to be seen. what is important is what was mentioned by 60 blinking in a closed meetings today say we come and whether he was able to put pressure too bad to ask them not to increase sediment activities to stop the collective punishment and so on. so the coming days and weeks will prove to us whether there was really some pressure put on the. is it a government or not? the death toll from a suicide bombing in a mosque in the north western pakistani city, the shower has risen. t, $100.00 attack happen in cyber was thought to be a highly secure police compound. an inquiry committee has been asked to look into the security lamps and what's been described as negligence. i said back has the story. this is all that remains of the mosque and the police compound in the shower investigator say, a suicide bomber blew himself up during afternoon. pres, hundreds of worshippers were inside the mosque is in a highly fortified red zone,

which includes a police headquarters and a counter terrorism. unit raising concerns about a major security breach. own work yourself voted off of what you're sure of. it is a matter of great condemnation that terrorists can enter a government department. if the government department don't have security, what safety can they provide us? does a fraction of the her e get valuable? pakistan the fuck is the only valuable claimed responsibility saying it's the 4th suicide attack in retaliation for the killing of khalid horizontally, one of its senior leaders in afghanistan last year. but the groups leadership has since distance itself from the bombing sink. holy places should not be targeted. prime minister shabazz sharif has condemned the attack and promised stern action. he says, terrorism is a country's biggest security challenge. the books only taliban has threatened and talked to security forces in recent weeks with buddy's or her mission could be

colored with a little higher order. this is not the 1st time this kind of bombing has happened since 2006. the thousands of people have lost their lives and we have had enough of terrorism here, which again in november the group and did the cease fire with the pakistani government yet. and heard, yet this month released this video of fighters training promising more attacks and declaring its intention to impose a hard line interpretation of his slammed claw. the group has been raging a war against the buck stony government for more than a decade. last year it carried out at least $150.00 attacks, killing dozens of people. and let's say the group has been emboldened since the 30 bonds return to power enough placed on in august of 2021. it's evident that reagan valuable on is talked in security forces once again, even in places of worship. i said big, i'll 0 out spent 2 years since the military sees power in myanmar.

we're looking out, there's live pictures from outside the embassy of myanmar in bangkok, thailand where a protest is being held to mark that day. human rights organizations say nearly 3000 people have been killed by the genta since the qu in 2021. it's accused of deliberately targeting civilians to instill fear now and a special report from inside mamma out as here as tourney. chang looks at how one community on the outskirts of the city of demo, so has been affected the body of door. so me are lies in her modest home relative packs a bag with things she'll need for her journey to the after life. her son watches without emotion, as the funeral rights proceed. she died after being hit by an artillery shell and a shelter close to the fields where she worked. the sheldon explode, but she bled to death. after it hit her in the side who form along the ground was shaking and my child was crying. the woman shouted,

i'm head and hedge license. she was 9. this primary school in the same village was here 2 months ago. healing a 5 year old girl, an enduring each other's walls, pockmarked with shrapnel and a hole left by a direct hit suggest the school was intentionally targeted by mere mas military. in the nearby clinic, a young boy winces with pain injured in a traffic accident. the doctor tries to patch him up, but aside from stitching and cleaning the wound, there's very little that can be done. medical supplies, us guess. tomorrow the military government, right? this is that they cut food and medicine to the area when there is fighting. we have to come up with local resist, ankles to solve the problem, you know, even places of worship on safe villages say this church was burned down by the army in the summer, but no one can get in to rebuild or repair because the area is heavily mind, it's

a tactic the military uses frequently. now, you know, they are many land minds. we retrieve more than 700 land miles from john da village, which the enemy has planned it. they use it as protection when they're weak. we have lost many lives lakes amount to land mines of suffer more because our minds that in battle back in the village, the body of those formula is ready to be buried according to local tradition. her possessions of burned as mourners wail her coffin, his nails shot and load into the ground. another civilian victim of the army was supposed to protect her. tony chang has more from on the ground and may salt in thailand. it does appear to be and from the reports we've heard from people have come across the border. and the last couple of days it's pretty widespread. i was speaking to a young man yesterday who had his legs blown off by a tank in

a town just 20 kilometers from here. so i think it illustrates that this is going on all over the country. we've got reports from sun gun, which is the center of me and my place, which is traditionally been very stable even under military governments. were in the last 6 months, 40 percent of mamma's air force is as drugs have taken place. so that does appear to be resistance all over the country. the military do seem to be fighting, but increasingly they using s strikes heavy artillery heavy almost to push back. but we're also approaching a situation of deadlock. i think where the military realize that they can't get the kind of support they need to run the country. they're positioned in these heavily fortified barracks, around the country. those people who are fighting against them, they have the numbers, but they don't have the heavy arms. they require to overcome them. so we get a situation that civilians cut off from basic services, health care, education,

things basic things like running water and electricity are almost nonexistent in many parts of me. i'm on now. at the same time. those people who want to push back against the military who don't have the strength to do it. well, joining us live is on your men. he's the human rights minister of me on most national unity government, which was formed in exile. thank you for joining us. let me pick you up on our report is point would you make of the regimes increased use of strikes and what impact is it having on ordinary citizens and me more the milky has been using and tried to check on the civilians. communities, including the houses are schools and samples. so saw hospital that bro bye the human dinner assistant. so they intentionally targeting the civilians, so that cause a lot of casualties and the big damage to the life of the community. this is,

you know, some of the victims are men, young people and even to school childrens. and also very, very elder people who are living in their communities to that make a terror. i would see that you know, tariff of from the sky to the civilians. so as try has been increasing, but at the same time, it's sure that they don't have any control in the ears. only way to check on the civilians is the attacking from the sky and also using s tried. do you think the international community could be doing more to help, particularly when it comes to these airstrikes? well, you know what we're calling use of, of, of our, of as zone free zone that you know, beg, nor ever relieved or no attack are, is allowed. but it is very difficult to apply that because it is within the

territory and even the international wanted to monitor and do something. it is very difficult to monitor and control from the outside. but, you know, we also calling the ali, wanting system that allowed to be bull, to how far do be alerted when it strikes or something, you know, happen. so this is that being we are calling, but we really want to call the international arm in a prevention of free as a areas there. so that's super life and not to stop the indiscriminate use of our air forces using the military, our jet fighters, and also calling good to attend you on the feeble other we is, you know, just are recently that you know, you key make our, our last man all the sanction on the a v as in hugo, that is another supplied to the military do use to admit air forces or to

a tech on the people. so we really need to global our actions out. oh, but military and embargo, including every asian fuel, bet supplies to the military right now and say, well when you look to the future, do you have any reason for optimism that things could improve for the people of manual? when what we have is just dawned commitment of the people and then people are very resilient, but also ready to fight against a military. by all means possible. that is what military don't have military have the power where forms. but on the other site, the people are very brave and they are not in beer anymore. so this is what we have . but at the same time, we need the international support. 2 on tim, you, our struggle against the military and other we calling the international to pick

gown, economists sanctions and embargoes and to stopped the immunities and bringing justice back to the people by taking legal actions against the criminals. of the military in near my and me all men, i really appreciate your time. human rights man, stephanie, on most national unity government. thank you. so, head on out is there a pe francis gets a warm welcome in the democratic republic of congo, home to africa as large as roman catholic population. ah, hello, we got more, very wet, sand, windy weather, and at times wintery weather across northern parts of the middle east. farther south, it is largely quietened and improving picture winds coming in from a southerly direction. how to the u. a. pushing up across carter where to weather
