one of the little boys she went to the church i'm sure of it never did that she always comes home after going to the church. but she never came back you know mother she's still not back to the autumn evening we went and searched for her but we couldn't find her. we're still searching the way there's no information we have . seen tampa news was one of the locations hit in the cedar blast on sunday all around it is a neighborhood in mourning residents here saw another explosion on monday in an abandoned when i speak will read to receive the bodies of friends and loved ones they silently contemplate their own survival a few feet from the site of two blasts. as locals here prepare for few one of those they tell us that the death toll in one neighborhood could have been much higher but for the practice that people closer to the charge of ben was on saturday evening and on sunday morning people who live farther away at the end services the

blasts hit on easter which was a sunday morning. this is a mixed neighborhood people from all religions just like here many resident muslims and hindus pitch in to help local christians are unable to understand the carnage there and then a little will say this is new for us you know even during the time of the tamil tigers we were targeted even the tsunami didn't damage this area these attacks of shocked us. the world at the gardens buz day this is so sad today's choose day we usually go to mass but the church is closed as sri lankans and especially residents of this neighborhood were very sad. but sadness and anger have to be put on hold to bit. lost. today colombo has come together to mourn well today's are called islamic state claimed that it was behind the suicide

bombings but he provided no proof just a photo purporting to show eight suicide bombers. in sri lanka intelligence officials were reportedly warranted that attacks were imminent but the country's president says these warnings were not shared with him he has vowed a shake up of this relate in defense forces also today the prime minister told reporters that investigators are making good progress but he warned it's likely that there are more explosives and militants still at war. joining me now from colombo is journalist jamila. it's good to have you with us again and we heard president today saying intelligence reports were not shared with him is that is the message here that political infighting in sri lanka is the reason that these warnings were not heeded and that nothing was done that could have prevented

this tragedy. present my photography resending on that this is a mission to the evening set that since two thousand and seventeen heavy sense has just for about a radical group forming but according to the sri lankan yours this is not test you know if you can take them into custody and then decide on onesies effect it's happened of she doesn't government at the help it has not no prior warning to take with the police will have to but there seems to be a name given to stop the pain from this it still isn't the government's leading thing to do since i'm being told this is the president so somebody has to take responsibility and i found no one will come forward and when you say that apartness denison what is going to happen now i mean is there pressure on the government to show that it is taking action and you know to replace someone i mean they have to find someone to do to blame for this grotesque failure.

since a dictator has openly said that he had not been kept informed about these pirates act and so has simon as saddam has become a member of having us and says basically i maintaining that these two of these off you know the pheasants are you saying yesterday evening said this isn't the next twenty four of us he's going to change the face that the defense forces and in the coming run be on the street me so that the syrians and the police and the security forces so the coming few days is going to be asked to do see crucial to see what seems is the effort to see what the progress we expect now from yesterday and assess does not happen again doesn't go to your current and i'm not choice with that the management of us is a service the prime minister today said some very hard questions from reporters a valid the political infighting in the government he also managed to talk

a little bit about the investigation into why does happen what did you tell us then the government of a prime minister has been maintained that maintaining that some had multiplying commissions at best not to you saying that's more some suspects have been over thirty bus them more well most i'll say and there's a message mannheim these have been gone spoke at them give them that he said that that was obviously according hand but he said that severs of the day every since the pool said dave i think that the i.c.c. . right now was beyond hearing is that a mistake nations are going on and just coming to days of a vixen disclosure by the journalist jamila not what do you need in these relating capital colombo but the latest on the investigation there tonight thank you. well here's oblio the stories now that are making headlines around the world russian and north korean government sources have confirmed that north korean leader

kim jong un will hold his first ever summit with president hu either me or putin this week on thursday preparations are already underway in the eastern russian city of stuff that is where the meeting will take place mexican immigration officials have detained hundreds of central american migrants in the southern state of chiapas is the biggest single read since large groups started traversing the country last year in route to the u.s. mexico initially welcomed them but has hardened its stance since the increasing numbers began overwhelming u.s. border crossings. the united nations security council has adopted a heavily watered resolution on sexual violence in conflict zones of the measure was originally put forward by germany as the centerpiece of its security council presidency but russian and chinese objections to extensive rewrites before the u.s.

threaten to veto the resolution entirely critics say that what was approved tonight let's denholm the victims of weaponized sexual violence. women in syria are hinge a muslim women women in all wars throughout the ages allegations of rape as a weapon of war spring up wherever there is armed conflict rape is a war crime under the geneva convention but enforcing its prosecution has long remained unattainable german foreign minister high command has brought this issue front and center during germany's term as chair of the un security council must also coauthored an opinion piece in the washington post with actor angelina jolie urging the perpetrators of sexual violence be brought to justice while presiding over the council germany introduced a resolution which would make it easier to prosecute rapists and help victims among its supporters not. z.d. activist and nobel prize laureate who survived years of i asked captivity and rape

in her speech she criticized the u.n. for taking little action after use e.d.s. came forward to describe their ordeals it was also not so if i think we were hoping that our testimonies would pave the way for bringing us to justice. however thousands of ideas elements are free thousands are detained without trial they just don't know if if we come here today to ask that those perpetrators of genocide be brought to justice. i'm all clooney the international human rights lawyer who represents nadia and other war crimes survivors give a strong call to action against i.a.s. comparing passing the resolution to the trials of the perpetrators of the holocaust following world war two. excellent seas ladies and gentlemen this is the your nuremberg moment your chance to stand on the right side of history. and to the thousands of women and girls who must watch i think members shave off their beds and go back to their normal lives while they the victims never cam the counselor

approved of the resolution but only after the text was watered down in order to get us support washington insisted language referring to reproductive health be removed before it approves the text advocates have warned it will be extremely hard to enforce the diluted version ladies and. gyptian have approved a series of controversial constitutional reforms which will allow president. to stay in power until the year twenty thirty in a referendum over the weekend eighty eight percent of voters approved the changes which will extend the presidential term from four to six years and allow l.c.c. to run for a third term though he claims that he needs more time to complete major development projects and economic reforms the changes also boost the powers of the military. are joining us from cairo now is journalist ruth michelson roof it's good to have you on the program very strong mandate eighty more than eighty percent of the vote

for these changes. that you know makes me wonder health fear in free there was this referendum do we know. well there are certainly plenty of questions about how strange that this election was despite the say the extremely strong outcome in favor of changes. in the fasting with the u.s. he seriously won reelection last year with ninety seven point eight percent but in so you know neither of these results were expected to be quick to keep three also at. but you know i spoke to several people who had talked about being paid in boxes of food in order to go to the polls and that they certainly felt that once that they were in the polling station have a shot in their right each of the start working that if that they totally get the change means that there will be some kind of punishment that you could find out and so this is an election that as he's

a terrific very strong results it's certainly likely they're oppressed now to things i heard today there were comparisons to mubarak's. with l.c.c. trying to use this referendum to consolidate his powers and of allah mubarak are are people in egypt are they worried about just how much power they have now given their present well i mean it certainly can saying there are people that say that they feel that this will more or less allow sisi to become president for life much in the style of mubarak and he say. that you know though these amendments and posts only allowed things will until twenty thirty that there is already the prospects that the constitution could be changed again before that happens to allow into same calories for. the changes do you increase his control over the judiciary i mean also increase in military has grown from six mean trying
