casting out a 0 ingles proud recipient of the new york festivals, fluid cost, or of the year award for the 2nd tier, running the gunshots on the streets of a turkish capital ankara. after an explosion near the parliament building the civil venue. you're watching houses here, a light from the also coming up to day across the river is mud and difficult terrain. tens of thousands are making their way to the southern us. border with countries across the region is struggling to co, empty streets, shops and homes and newborn know camera backs. nearly entire estimate armenian population has no less on media after as a by john took over the enclaves,

grief and anger in northern iraq, a special, massive health of the victims of last week's wedding fire that killed more than a 100. the we start with this breaking news from the turkish capital anchor. there's been an explosion and gunfire in the heart of the city near its parliament building. the interior minister says 2 attackers were responsible, including a suicide bomber. one of them has been killed. the other blew himself up. 2 police officers have been injured in the attack. let's get the latest from our correspondence. simco, so in is stumble, send him established for us. this took place about an hour and a half ago now established for us. what happened in the timeline of events as we know it so far as well through in the capsule. unclear of the area where the explosion happened is like, uh, just the magic area or the security area. because the capital is and meets city,

the parliament building the administer your buildings and the embassies, their old one a close to each other. and we know that the explosion happens very close to the parliament building, which is due to open today for its full 2020 square inspection and the interior minister building. but right after our latest and a phone connection with you at house. and now waco, a turkish media has reported, has shown some pictures of the lights, commercial vehicle that uh, that was used by the perpetrators right in front of the gate of the interior ministry building. so apparently, and this attack directly targeted at the interior ministry, the message was to the interior ministry itself because the picture shows up the car where it, which was used by the, by the perpetrators was harmed. and the barriers of the entrance gate has also been

harmed in a way. and we as the interior minister liada cat tweeted on his social media, and there were 2 perpetrators. one of them was the seaside bumper and who killed himself and the other one was killed by the a turkey security personnel over there in to turkish policeman had been slightly injured. according to his statement. then he said that the fight and by the turkish authorities targeting and what the government calls terrace organizations will continue on till the last. what he calls terrace member is eliminated. this is a situation in the area they, it, it a, the police has sealed the area and the bolts clubs are in the field because they're also trying to understand whether there are some sorry, explosives on the side or on the vehicle. that was uh that the perpetrators, andrew uh right to the entrance of the interior ministry. and these kind of

situations bump scott's try to eliminate a full, the suspicious packages inside the trash boxes around the area. and you kind of suspicious of element that can be a potential exclusive and caused some further x and for further explosions and darien. this is what we saw actually a couple of years ago when some at a text we were kicked every adult, then i stumbled and tucked some district door. so to not match a district where you are, where there are miniatures and, and there was an explosive, a, there was a 3 side number and then another expos, a lift out there in the other side of the area. so that right now and the bomb squads uh the a crime investigation team, they are working very near the a to see and to check any other potential checks on left out in the area as the parliament is opening today. and in the afternoon, like the in the $33.00 and

a half hours advocacy, lawmakers aren't going to be in the parliament. sports person entered as president is going to be in the 5 minutes. yeah. real quick before i bring in other voices into this conversation, is it fair to say at this stage that turkish law enforcement is treating this attack is over. i mean, i understand that there securing the perimeter, checking whether there might be any explosive devices left, but the attack itself over yes, of the sr itself seems to be over. but when it comes to these kinds of effects, you never know because there are the sometimes there are a series of attacks in one area in another area. but in the area where the ministries are located, where the parliament it is located, it seems to be over because the interior minister says never to the purpose, right, a perpetrators whom he called to terrorist and they were both eliminate sense

and he didn't underline any other suspicion or any other extension of the organs or organization group, but of course, it is too early to stage old. these 2 are already sent in a stand by i want to bring in some other voices into this conversation. we are very fortunate that restore 3rd or is with us in the studio. we'll also go to our, i guess, next pursue you've obviously covered turkey extensively haven't been formerly a h. okay. correspondence. alger 0, you look at this, the degree, what is your degree? i suppose of surprise when you see an attack happening in turkey. we've seen things like this before. absolutely. the last largest attack that happened in, in on kind of was a 2015, contacted by iceland. tons of people had been killed by that attack in on kind of terminals. so it was quite a trip tragic event. and right after that, you have seen that particularly the, the, the,

the dement suppose cities in churches in the city is that the security measures have been quite tied to the heavy increase the number of the products officers. and also the other measures have been taken. so since then we haven't seen such a dramatic attack and this is now happening right in front of the intuitive ministry which has hung but as of powers of its members that are armed. so in that sense, it's quite dramatic. however, what they can see here. now is that the attack has been conducted by 2 perpetrators, but as of now, according to the minister of interior, it has been browed under the control. but one of the be sure he is it, is that so who and why? these are now the speculations because according to the statement that is coming from the minister of interior is just like to a time rest. tried to attack the ministry,

and one of them had been killed and the other one, the attorney to to himself or herself. and apparently, according to the statement and the pictures of your receiving an occupational, a rocket launcher, which is a russian maid, rocket launcher and is widely used by the p k for y p g, particularly in syria. so, and also as one of the perpetrators have, has definitely 8th of himself. when you look at the acute, must have used the way that the conduct of this attack. it shows that now the minister of interior is seen the projected, the most likely part of it filters here. however, seeing that doesn't mean that it's or functionally that they're accusing that. so this is just, you're trying to read the circumstances they're afraid to, to, to, to, to, to see that, to, to understand, to read this information,

to the very clear and the end to sort of pull back the curtain for viewers. this is exactly what all the analysts not to mention. law enforcement in turkey are going to be doing right now. they think they look at the facts on the ground and they see what they can, how they can star test or put them, and what questions those raised. let's bring in on there was because there's a cure, a foreign policy and security analysts. thank you so much, sir. for joining us. you were in, you are incorrect and heard the explosions from what i'm being told. let's just 1st go there. what did you hear? what did you perhaps see? so i did not see anything but i here to some kind of revise the above the coast and make it suppose that i'm a bit of thoughts with the area of what takes about i would say would i usually use? and i know the ever quite well and knowing it. usually if you have to go to the central, uncover the, all the shopping malls, i imagine it just takes you to business based upon co, a cause of life. you have to live alone next to the thing to minister then you have

to to just kind of met then to the patient to see and then the shopping most stuff . and the just the highest thing came in. he says, all say come picked up to 2 different things. so it's a thing that we offer to people could teach, but it's quite interesting to underline that piece. this area has usually tough feet at 930 and 9 o'clock, but they choose to take on a sunday we can, which day i usually no traffic. so they would have to kind of get paid yesterday or tomorrow. that would be much quicker like me, with those $3000000.00 casually deep. and perhaps i could be one of them because i used to sort the almost every day. so that for this i pay for me shows that the 2 minutes, the specific target and the ticket, but typically try to uh, take them to me without uh, having an aim to call us as much as possible to the customer of the 10 most important thing here what is that if the pickups were, do i have to make a match?

now, they could have a tech that took this party and the distinction of choosing the gym, and it's the over the defense and to find them. and i think it's also important to see who could be behind it as the for i, the church parliament would be a much more symbolic and a text type actually from the ices ideology, the church parliament, it's demonstrating that to get the quote unquote unemployment and that uh, they would have preferred to just find them in tie pack, but some of the books, the p k. k. chairman, if that would be a much and more. no japan attacked by so over i'm, i'm listening to what you're saying. listening to what we're, so we're saying just now and we're so if you have any questions for them or by all means jump in and we are looking at an attack that apparently did not attempt to maximize civilian casualties. we're also looking at an attack that took place and one of the most heavily guarded and secured areas in the entire country. i mean,

to put it bluntly to men with a rocket launcher in the middle in front of the interior ministry that was never going to get very far. that's what i'm reading from a both of you are saying, oh man, what do you read into that? a so i think the go to the tickets about clear and they fade. so the goal was to launch or connect to effect and the phone at the open gate that usually come to explore needs a who's secured the area and out the closing confusion and destruction and impasse getting them fixed police officer at the bottom aid. the 2nd effect have good luck . going to blow him several headset up in the entrance of the compound. and then they embody them. would be that to 2 to 10 minute that would that take the $1010.00 . so they did not have to go to and cut the components into a 10th or something like that. this worked a specific aspect of a suicide mission up to 10. and so probably don't know anything about the identity of the effect. that box is one uh, the 2 side pick a rug, a woman. this was

a very strong the on the line that it's very likely the c k j as in contracts. so what you're saying is, it's been hacker where a woman, no, that's not the case. right, so we can, you're saying that would be one, you know, that would be, well, isn't the interior ministry reporting that the 2 attackers were met and did i, did i get that wrong? not the we do not know they're jumping. okay. oh, okay, hold on. let me, let me double check that then. um, we're sold and send them. we don't know. absolutely. we don't know if they were meant or whether you know, the minister of interior seem to be perfect for it or so not specifying whether to women or men. we do not okay. consider maybe i jumped to conclusions earlier. the interior ministry did not give us that information, correct? you know, after this is all about the turkish grammar and the english grammar. okay. we don't have gender definition when we were mentioning about him or her, he just set to terrorist he 2 terms. he didn't specify the gender and he didn't

specify any possibility. so any possible. ok, thank you. that is so that is invaluable insight on there to pick up on the point that you were making. then man, women, that could be already something that you know, gives us some pretty significant clues, a yes, good and concert. so i, the p kid is, is it's taught that i do need to believe in gender equality in the peg and therefore preferably to use women. and we know from the top to get in see we adding wax, that to be usually professed to use the woman as a palmer manipulation. instead it's taught that i don't junk fortunately, but i did it. i had not to use it on the box area to from few as a function, it women into 2 side effects. and so just recently, particularly in the last couple of weeks, we have seen that a huge increase in the operations that are conducted by the turkish security forces army, the circulation colleges,

and the ministry of interior across the country in see ever yeah. and in iraq, particularly queen off there, the key members or those were basically and they are linked to. so um, in the last couple of weeks you will wake up in the morning. i see an official statement from the minister frontier. we are seeing that house is off the price of users last night when involved in an operation. a gas such a group and hundreds of them have been arrested as could be the on dealers, the drug dealers, orthopedic a members, even the iso members as well. so the dramatic inquiries of the operations going back to the by the police. he's also showing us the, probably one of his actors could have it kind of discontent him to regarding that. and that could be a kind of act of retaliation as well. so here as the and that with the, with the specific target because they targeted. now we've established that they targeted of all the government buildings that were there and diplomatic of

facilities that are in that area. they targeted the interior and they had a new front of the headquarters of the turkish military. definitely wouldn't be much more difficult or the getting in front of the turkish, the headquarters, the touching pathogens, football, mostly possible. so i think among these 3 because this see the ministries and the directories are the ones that are coordinating this operations, right? so among them, the easiest part of the probably was administered interior this way. they have picked that up and it seems that is history. say that fact, because simply one of the attackers right after being given as much as hon. then he did tell me that the blow himself or herself up. so that's why i probably it was a kind of organized attack that has been more there by someone or the groups. that's how having this comp time for us to have regarding that the recent, the, the recent operations that have been conducted by the security forces. and it was

not only across tricare, but also in syria and iraq as well. and have you seen the several senior members of y p g and a particular particular recently had been killed by the throne. that tax in a coordination between these 3 ministers simco sailed? well you will have to report on the attacks on attacks. not like this one, but on attacks in turkey, a before and on the aftermath of the attacks. what is the investigation going to look like? i mean, in the hours after an attack, what does law enforcement have to do and what do they look at as well? so this one is the old security unit, and so the government of the state is working hard. right now. first, they sealed the area and the boat squads were in place. and they are trying to see whether there are any other explosive devices hidden on the car or any caused by

places. that's why we are seeing on the ports that the bomb squads are working and they are trying to designate any kind of bags or packs inside trash cans in the area close by that has been sealed by the security. a forces right now, as we have mentioned earlier, today is the 1st day of the parliament winter session, full session and presence. our job is scheduled to deliver an opening speech in the par argument around 2 pm locally, which is nearly 3 hours from now long. and that a low makers, some over the begin getting inside the apartment building. but apparently the latest pictures that showed up like commercial vehicle, used by the, the perpetrators, the parts part right in front of the gate of the interior ministry. so there's a specific message, but what the mac are has under light is very valuable during the weekdays,

as we also have an office in the caps, the encore and we always cover. sure. uh o. o, o political events and on the a we are is very crowded and everyone in on for especially if you're working in the as to the center you close by that area. and there was a huge population using public transportation, the private cars. that's why this was very impressed and that they have chosen this the weekend sunday. and for this attack, is it because they avoided the, at a collateral damage or is a be cost and a to 1st. but that wasn't a good looking back to the attacks carried out by other uh, arms groups like i so they usually prefer collateral damage. and, and of course, in these kinds of incidents mostly, and the secure, to expose to speak on media. they usually refer to the out those curtis,

some workers party. and also there is a left this word called a dash golf h a d h a k pc. this is also another suspected group. and these kinds of incidents we don't have and a specific specifics about the situation. but according to interior ministers, it's weights and his explanations. things seem to be content, but investigation is parked on the way. and now there is a broadcast band for turkish media about the incident. okay, that's also interesting context. look, i want to think all of you, this is what we know right now, and thanks for the information you gave us the context you gave us, notably in it, and we're going to just wrap this up with this thought. several of you. in fact, you've all emphasized that this attack appears to have taken place in a way that minimize civilian casualties. ok, that's something we're going to be looking into as we bring you back on the shows in the coming hours. thank you. sent him castillo and is stumble over was because those are thank you very much. and on a personal note,

we're obviously very happy and we, we that you're safe and we hope everybody's continued safety in ankara. russell sort or thank you for joining us on set and for your expertise the, as the hope of a better life in the united states is drawing tens of thousands of people to its southern border every day. and many are tricking through jungles and waiting for waters and central and south america to get their definitely in violence poverty, and seeking a way out of desperate living conditions. and those who make the journey from south america face a particularly dangerous obstacle. the darien gap that you see there on the map. it's the stretch of jungle just between columbia and panama. a record breaking, 400000 people have crossed it so far this year. i'm sure 0 is john home and is in southern mexico near the border with guatemala. but 1st our latin america editor, lucy, and let's see a newman reports from the darian gap in panama. i mean that,

that in gap and this is by 40 people, the 1st populated area where it has, it doesn't have running water, it doesn't have electricity, but at least it does have occasional wi fi and the migrants can stop for a while, there is an outpost a health health office very, very small. the place is full of mud. people are coming here. they've been, they're desperate in fact because they were roberts with the majority of the people in the to the you see here were rob. a few women were raped. things are getting more and more dangerous, more difficult here in this passage through that, that in gap on the attempted trip. cuz united states, but still the people just keep coming every day or so it's between 3 and 5000 migrants passes through a small indigenous hamlets in the that in jungle. close to the end of a treacherous journey to the 130 kilometer long. that didn't get the thing cool.

yeah, 5 long days indicates christopher they braced scorching heat, much mosquitoes, poisonous snakes, contaminated river water and vengeance equity y'all. though our group was robbed at gunpoint due to all over money and food, the fixed women's chest to see if we were hiding our money. they're telling me that when i were joining this group on the last leg of their jungle crossing, you may wonder how all of these people don't get lost in the jungle. something that is so easy to do. and the reason that they don't release the majority of them don't, is that they're told to follow these markers. they're blue pieces of blue plastic, that service ribbons and they go all the way down outside of this jungle. everyone whose hands to prove fell in smoke crossing the river into back, which you people might antonio, somebody i know carrie, he's handicapped suddenly. the entire journey. the baby who's being treated right

now is suffering from diarrhea, vomiting and fever. but he is not the only one, just about everyone who's come here to this health center has exactly the same symptoms or even worse. no one comes out of the jungle with nothing unscathed. just outside women screams and p as another been swelling. migrate. a mailed verse treats her for trench foot on the wireless or a business. while the woman with a baby died after she fell into the water. when she slipped on a rock, too many people are dying in a jungle. it's hill on us. the next morning, the migrants form an endless line to get a seat on the beat, our long canoe like books that will bring them 3 hours down river to a town where they can get a bus to the cost to become bored. as they leave a new group arrives, we seem to think that they could have survived that, that the gap and also across the us border. even though objectively the words could

still be a hit. to see in human al jazeera that in depth, panama. and here's john, home and at the mexico, guatemala border, where thousands of people are waiting to cross. this is the suggest, the river, which is the border between guatemala and mexico. here and every day, 6000 people have been crossing over the river to get to mexico and continued to the united states. according to the mexican government, which is said that it's overwhelming. you can see over here that there are tense, where people are camping, waiting for buses from the mexican government to take them on in the route and to the pressure, right? so the government says this area, you'll see more in our pool, mich coast is over. well, that's 6000 migrant today. crossing here, the southern border and looking to push on twits know the name of the united states

. this is to revise that quote, it exceeds whatever capacity we have, even the mexico wants to do a good job and use the many the 1st city they reach is tough to, to, to just a few kilometers from the guatemalan buddha. it's full to overflowing. people have been queueing to days outside of mobile asylum, old you the papers, try and get through the country. we've been here for 4 days. sleeping on the floor . it's rained on us, then the sun. we sleep in the queue so we don't lose our place in the government, so we can always buses to and it's woods, the pressurized temperature, and take people to be processed in another nearby city. some people want to go, it's building up the route, but there are not enough seats. so another comes in that the, by the roadside. when money is stephanie and have family a way to i, you know, some people have time. we don't,

we lost everything after leaving the diary and got as always, been out in the open. and if it trains wherever we go into shelter and with the children to the funeral. on the nova boat at the same store, i want to see it as quite as matamoros who migrant cities or for this is just a small number of the people heading through top of to the mexico right now. where are they from? so i'm up from venezuela. a country where 7000000 people have left in recent years, playing a ruined economy. so i'm a from hate see, playing terrible game violence and hunger in that country. a visit from cuba, a visit from nicaragua. there's various countries in this region right now that have political instability or economic instability, an order of them, hoping to find something better in the united states. the more of those at the heart, this continue the journey. sleeping rough suffering hung up next to should. only

the dream of safety and prosperity in the united states keeps been going on home and out. is it a tough tutor? nearly all the estimated 120000 ethnic armenians living in the go into the camera, back of no fled to our media. the town square and still panic or it's which was crowded with people who were getting ready to leave. it is now deserted. a solid binge of 8 has more for us from how are these near in the going to count back. okay . only a fraction of the i think i'm indian population, if any is left in what was formerly known as no more. no car boss for us off. now either by johnny's are moving in, although there is no media which is allowed inside this territory. we are witnessing some pictures, imaging of what is now almost a goes down to binding shops, places of the stay town centers and residences are all vacant. people have left and whatever they could pack on their vehicles. and this is the situation

of hunting, the whole jelly and other adjoining villages in areas either by dining, they're sending in medical help as well as a ambulance is to ensure there is some semblance of an administrative control there . and the 1st thing, according to the other resident government, is to make sure that the commodity needs are looked after off all the people who are left behind. but they're not allowing any access to people or the media because they are afraid that there still might be some danger left in this area which has been under armenian control for the last 30 years. in addition, they're also allowing, allowing for the 1st time, the united nations, the mission in buckled to take you in agencies into this area. i've, you've seen 1st pictures of you and costs moving from the area of exam to words fund can be, of course, defined the codes as armenians call it. it is going to be a fact finding mission. it is going to be an assessment mission where these you and agencies are going to be shown according to answer by john the kind of disruption
