hindus there have have there's a lot of public support for the building of the temple for many hindus there not just you know you would hear this see the building of the temple really as a symbol of the feat of national group bible for some it's also correction of historical wrong in that they believe that building a temple at the at the site of the mosque really evil centuries of suppression and oppression by outsiders muslim invaders and the british so i think for for many people that's a big article of faith correspondent sonja falconer in delhi great to talk to you thank you. thank you. and now to take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world hundreds of mourners have attended funerals for the victims of a suspected cartel attack in a township founded by breakaway moments in mexico 9 u.s. citizens were killed 6 children and 3 women it's not clear whether they were targeted or ambushed by accident will. kumar brazilian
