5:03 pm
or i'm afraid we've lost our line to delhi between difficult to understand wish that connection with new delhi in a short while and let me now move on but we come back to that story later let me not move on and take you to news from somalia where police in the capital of somalia mogadishu say a nearly daily long battle with militants is over special forces in mogadishu reportedly killed all the shabaab fighters holed up next to the hotel the bombed on thursday night officials are reporting heavy casualties after the militants carried out a suicide car bombing the target was a city center hotel popular with government employees. the w.'s east africa correspondent melanie joins me now from four more melanie where how do things stand right now. well i'm greta as you french and we now know that the deadly siege in mogadishu is finally over that it has ended with all
5:04 pm
the extreme and attackers killed that is what police say the special forces in some honest captain had really been trying to quote neutralize the insurgents all day long and witnesses told us that blast and shot the by exchange could be had all day is still just tried to enter the building we still are waiting to learn more about the heavy explosion that could be felt kilometers away but what we do know is that this is the worst attack we're going to show has seen in months and that the number of victims and injured the still very likely to keep on rising. questions being asked as to why it took so long to end the siege and rescue the people. yes there are questions that are being asked and cans of slow intervention at first as well as to be really hampered rescue and rescue seem to for example have struggled because they had no lights or no equipment to take out the wounded one of
5:05 pm
the factors that could have contributed to that situation is the fact that the attack happened at night which is really unusual for attacks occurring in somalia and of course we have also speaking of a country that has really been conflict ridden decades and now it's a country where the government were to struggles to control large parts of somalia so resources seem to just be missing the quick response mechanisms and this is of course something bad shabaab is very well aware of and has taken advantage of the us of all this being active in somalia for many years give us some context to this attack melanie. they have and not only in somalia and this is really something the attack is this very much a part of a pattern that al-shabaab has used across the region the militant group has used vehicle bombs and chosen similar targets in somalia in neighboring kenya and uganda
5:06 pm
places which are frequented by government and security officials as well as foreign as and civilians as to why this attack in somalia happened at this point some blame the rising numbers of asked trikes again and the ten groups which were carried out have been carried out by the u.s. which is backing the somali government and their struggle to take control of the entire country but really this has been happening for a lot of for a while the trumpet ministration has significantly stepped up the number of as strike astrid's almost weekly where al shabaab militants have been killed so there's really no one explanation as to why this attack happened now but it's much broader an example of the country's very sad reality. ben and. thank you very much for that update on the attack in mogadishu. let me not bring you up to date but some of the stories making news around the world tens of thousands of people
5:07 pm
have been protesting across and against the country's president and his bid for a fifth term in office in the capital algiers demonstrators faced off against security forces while trying to reach the presidential palace president of the beautifully has been in power since one thousand nine hundred ninety nine and is reportedly in poor health. saudi arabia has stripped citizenship from osama bin laden's son hums of bin ladin's this comes after the u.s. offered a one million dollar reward for information on his exact whereabouts officials believe holmes of enlargement is emerging as an al qaeda leader the group brought down the world trade center the nine eleven attacks in two thousand and battier. north korean leader kim jong un has been meeting dummies present new and tong north korean media are describing it as a goodwill visit it comes
5:08 pm
a day after the break down of a vietnamese posted summit between kim and us president donald trump which ended when the two sides could not agree on conditions for sanctions relief. let's return to our top story breaking news coming in that an indian pilot who was in pakistani custody has been released and he is back on indian territory joining me now from new delhi is our correspondent and the mission jess while he misha the deal of the release of ring commander benumbed then took a long time people have been waiting there for hours he's now on indian soil give us a sense of how he's going to be welcome there. when i'm with others reed has definitely been a long one initial report was that he would be handed over at about four pm and then time but it's been well over five hours since then the reports are also at this point that this is basically because of procedural t.v.
5:09 pm
isn't really it and they're both have documentation but of course there's been a huge drug that's been has been set up here for the butchers of warning actually because of what information has just been trickling in making about events actually call exactly she would be drunk but still there were reports that india wanted to send in. tenders and internet for the jet to pick him up budget but the box on the side denied based on actually that he would defend to the borders of course now the visuals are fine becoming sure there was also a bit of tension building as the lid kept as the village can be coming in longer just about what exactly was happening but now that they're actually ritualised off of in command of london where the was a monument to that of course really on the inside of course the laws and a lot of hope also for the escalation of tensions that have been building over the last few weeks and of course the mission in india there was a lot of anxiety about the fate of the spot it when the initial visuals of him came
5:10 pm
out you know with a blindfold and blood on his face visions isn't it a deleted in pakistan and pakistan says it is releasing link amanda i mean and then as a gesture of peace how is how is this being viewed in new delhi. well on the top of the reaction from new delhi have actually been far more as the than what pakistani prime minister and runs hard has that that this is a gesture to be cut from new delhi just off evening there was a press conference a press briefing held by the heads of the military on foster's gretzky's that they are prepared for any kind of action to the pakistani side and that they would only give the action to the pilots are these ones that actually went to india have also been emphasizing the talk on it simply following the line of a convention there's not about any of it a credit that's been given at this point at least so far out of pocket on my list
5:11 pm
and run hard gesture to be it is also worth noting that in just emphasizes that pakistan is not doing enough to release all mileage of this five i didn't find it was gas is definitely the u.s. as well as abiding by the geneva convention but is still not seen as doing enough to promote because when the two countries india says that it got out and as strike because that part of refusing to take action on the information and that was handling all of our concern of course founder of this thing is this taking all the action that it had committed to getting back in two thousand and four again that option and that india is actually a country that needs to accept that people and of course a great international cause for deescalation a new mission as we've been killing when two nuclear neighbors are not seeing eye to eye there's always a lot of concern what the people saying on both sides of the border. well again on the back when the actual attack happened in russia we know all this
5:12 pm
haitians have been building since february fourteenth when the in the closet struggle of the terror attack that took the lives of forty indian security forces was a volatile and back then there wasn't logic at all of cross india for action against pakistan there were even values and volatile social media for action against office on and then the actions they take these within two weeks there was a lot of cheering on this end to however when the back of our usual spark fun of was the readiness of the wonderful the world that occasioned very good countries in almost five decades there was also a lot of concern coming in from both sides the hatchback to go to war began trending on twitter from india and pakistan where many concerned civilians actually stepped up and said that this is not the boss the two countries should be taken and of course they find that they acknowledge the fact that two nuclear armed country gives letting tensions escalate in this way was not going to be good for either side so definitely this release also this indian violence is
5:13 pm
a step in that direction a step civilians have also said that they would appreciate on both sides but of course abuse would be a long way to go given that i don't think that says victory to be restructured or it's a tick box term employer provided or more seriously. certainly this evening will be a mood of celebration as wing commander of the nandan arrives home thank you so much in the michaud jessel in delhi for your update from there to not to france and the surge of anti semitic mandans and hate speech has caused members of the jewish community to fear for their safety president in money them a crew has made a very public show of condemning the crimes which include vandalism of cemeteries online harassment and physical attacks as the w.'s catherine martin reports many french jews increasingly feel under threat. they want to move the good of a job or those of us if i was going to do that they were there for the benefit of
5:14 pm
us of all there's no one will get some sort of a lunch alone is preparing for shabat it's friday and tonight he's meeting other members of his jewish congregation together they are going to read the sabbath prayer is the thirty four year old is an active member of the jewish community here in paris being jewish is important to him but so is being french that's why the increase in violence disturbs him so much to both parties and cities with their insults vandalism and sometimes even cases of murder for us that means staying aware and alert and always keeping an eye out we wouldn't have to do that if we didn't feel threatened now we're also asking ourselves is france really the right place for us. around half a million jews live in france the third largest community behind israel and the us last year there were more than five hundred anti-semitic offenses here in increase of around seventy five percent. flossy califano president of the umbrella
5:15 pm
organization representing france's jewish community is also alarmed he says the real figures are much higher as not every offense is registered he's most concerned for the young. italy is awful sharif we're noticing that in some regions jewish children are no longer going to public schools they're being pulled out because they can't have a normal school day they see they're being insulted and their physical safety can't always be guaranteed system cleave. back in the synagogue young ballerinas are practicing for a big performance the synagogue offers jewish children an afterschool program which parents gladly make use of deaf intel have is the mother of three sons she tells us one of them has moved to israel because he feels safer being jewish there delfin says she's shocked by the rhetoric she hears she thought it was a thing of the past. or not or this when we hear things like go back
5:16 pm
home to you it hurts us deeply. you feel threatened to some. of all gone. to lunch alone is determined to stay in his homeland france despite the worsening situation experts say that anti-semitism is no longer solely coming from right wing groups but also from radical islam but it rarely has anything to do with religion and jews often meet hostility because they're seen as being part of an elite. todd reason see the host it is the rejection of a community in this case the jewish community that is seen as being privileged as the group with the most influence on the powerful. before the launch on them says he will never conceal the fact that he's jewish despite the dangers which i make issues it is really just i've never hidden the fact that i'm jewish and i won't do that now when i go to the synagogue for sure but i will and i will continue to do
5:17 pm
so much so little. but when it came to the question of whether he would let his own children wear a key part in public in line couldn't give us an answer. now france is not the only european country that has seen a rise in add to semantics incidence these obvious a robot video of us israel's ambassador to germany about his concerns over the issue mr ambassador not only in france also in germany we see rising anti semitism rising numbers of anti jewish attacks how big is the problem from your point of view i think any form of manifestation of anti-semitism should be of concern not only to the israelis but germany in general and to the essential democratic and tolerant nature of german society insults immigration minister dr golland has urged especially the jewish people in france to come home saying that it's not safe
5:18 pm
anymore for jews in france and in europe is not a solution to the problem look i. think it's very clear israel is always being a homeland for the jewish people and any jew who feels that they want to make ali and i would always want to somebody who's made that step that every jew should come because he is coming for positive reasons or not because he feels that he's been pushed out of his country and i don't think that that is the solution in the sense that we have to first and foremost look at the anti semitic activities and what needs to be done to stop those because even if somebody will get up and leave and go to israel you still need to deal with anti semitism so you have to look at the whole situation in a much more holistic approach germany has more or less freshly installed. special commission to combat anti semitism the german government doing enough to
5:19 pm
establish jewish life in germany well that's a very good point in the sense that his title is not only to combat anti semitism but promote jewish life in germany. i think that that is of incredibly strong importance to the german leadership and obviously we are fully supportive of. and i think it shows again the strength of german society that we can overcome things that have happened in the past and can build a better future for all peoples as we can see in many different areas but definitely i feel that. not enough can be done there has to be very clear responses not just condemnations but actions to prevent and to to make sure that this criminal activity is checked is turned off law enforcement in the field i think clearly needs to be more in the sense that the challenges in
5:20 pm
all of the different areas in different contexts and different venues but also given the history of the internet and the possibility of moving on social media and he semitic. tropes and stereotypes i think this is creates an ever expanding need for greater control mr ambassador thank you so much. that was jeremy soccer all of israel's ambassador to germany talking to my colleague who put that we now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the world they've been tsunami alerts in chile after a powerful earthquake struck in neighboring through the magnitude seven quake hit north of us on gado province media reports say the tram out was felt as far away as brazil and bolivia. russian authorities of ordered the release of nearly one hundred reals held captive in the far east of the country charges have been brought
5:21 pm

5:22 pm
a break from protesting in germany she joined schoolchildren on their weekly protest against climate change for way too long the politicians and the people in power have got no way was not doing anything to fight the climate crisis but we will make sure that they will not get away with it any longer. thousands of students have come together to demand that politicians save the planet so they can grow up in a world worth living in and they're demanding that politicians do something about it such as stop burning coal to generate electricity. it's no secret here in germany that the country's going to fail to reach its twenty twenty climate goals now in a bid to reduce greenhouse gases the german government has planned a coalface out by twenty thirty eight but for these school students hitting the streets a comeback today that just isn't soon enough. the kids who took to the streets instead of going to classes today know exactly what their message is.
5:23 pm
i think it's important to stop using coal to produce electricity use and it's possible and to be more aware of climate change like stop using plastic bags and stuff like that. i'm here because i'm concerned about climate change but seeing going to live is also a special experience. here i have taken to the streets today just like every friday personally i try to act in a sustainable way know at travel and i get around town by public transport or on a bicycle in part for. i'm going to turn back had a private message to everyone too. and i think we should focus more on the climate is this not about doing the crime i said. the young protesters say they plan to continue demonstrating as part of their fridays for future campaign.
