eight years and this is not something which i think then in the recent past where i thought we missed occasions on going to see if this group was leading to any other radical group in the country and may that they have had any funding links so this investigation is going on and maybe in the coming days the government should be able to shed more light as to what exactly these groups were and were connected to them ok journalist as i mean the national do you know with the latest tonight from colombo i mean i thank you. for many muslims intro say they fear a backlash after the easter sunday attacks the suicide bombings have been condemned by muslim groups but many in the community say they feel vulnerable. has this report. sheikh. back home to. sought he's too scared to spend the night in his house for enjoyment and other ships on easter sunday a few hundred metres from the even lives

would be happening if the last summit in one or in between or between kim and trump if that summit had not ended so terribly would there be a summit now with mr putin maybe we don't know exactly but it provides a terrific opportunity for russians the russian foreign policy of provides a terrific opportunity for us east asian policy and it provides a terrific opportunity to spoil u.s. foreign policy in the region yeah i mean we have two different approach this year. the one the big plan the big. the big deal. the plan by donald trump and step two step approach by commune one the russian president is supposed to give me one and i can imagine that when vladimir putin was watching me twice with kim jong on he he had to have been sitting there thinking why why can't i be there is he doing this summit now in an effort i don't have to do don't troll.

it's a win win situation for both sides and it allows the communal one to show to the chinese and to have been pretty good to be americans look i've got other options as well and there's a nice return for russians east asian policy and allows to president putin to present himself as a responsible leader he needs to we i would be surprised if you. read invigorating behind the six party talks with jeff and then. would have been dormant to put it this way and this might be one diplomatic approach he's cruising all right mark is not as always we appreciate your insights thank you thank you. the leaders of ireland and the u.k. were among hundreds of guests today attending the funeral of slain northern irish journalist earlier mckee she was shot by irish nationalists last week during a riot in the city of london derry which is also known as derry
