spicer thanks for joining us authorities in the somali capital mogadishu say at least 78 people have been killed by a truck bomb explosion hit during morning rush hour at a busy security checkpoint is the deadliest attack to rock the somali capital in the years. it was. the survivors of a massive truck bomb explosion being ferried to hospital out of all the attacks the capital suffered in 2019. this is the worst. i think that the deity did not commit to the ground with its force i've never seen such an explosion in my entire life william but i hope that even more mention of that was once a blast took place as i was getting off

a minibus. i was on my way to work shut my eyes like got injured some of. the tangled wreckage on saturday morning the people of mogadishu were gearing up for the new working week when the bomber struck. by a truck loaded with explosives was detonated at a busy control checkpoint the explosion led to many deaths and injuries. that was never said are as most of those who died here were students who were going to school or university. here john. but in the middle of it a bus ferrying students to classes and lectures. no one has claimed responsibility for the attack yet but scenes like this of primly familiar on the streets of the capital the un backed government in mogadishu is struggling to take

control of the country the militant islamist group al-shabaab has carried out deadly attacks here in the past now once again the people of this city are mourning their dead. and joining me now on the line is somali journalist abdul aziz below what has the somali government's response to this attack been. well the federal government that issue is in partnership with the international populous a walking. thing of the. explosion one of it is. to the national committee to assist to evacuate some of the seriously wounded victims because for special treatment abroad and the state of katrina and to take us to the countries willing to send a medical team medical bring. some of the wounded people to you stumble and don't hobble specialized treatment and not on the ground as a situation. for locals to go to the local hospitals to if you need

glasses because most of the victims are in dire need of blood of the country doesn't. at the moment so authorities are saying that the for now is heightened security in and around every topical city of mogadishu the country's most populous city in the frequent hot spot for a deadly militant attack and so because he has been beefed up because the militant group is no interest to the deadly attacks. and to prove that it could mean the formidable force in somalia that it comes despite assurances from the government and its international partners that security has improved in the past couple of months and how are the people in mogadishu itself coping with this. well the country also might have undergone maritime one for the past 3 decades and one thing that has made the public in that country more resilient is the constant number of attacks and the constant number of deaths they've been able to witness

time in 100 again and these cases it's so tragic because most of the victims who died in these attacks are as students and they were 20 students in one box and they all perished in a single minute from the truck bomb so the chilling effect on the vast majority of young people especially for somalia where the population is a very high of young people mourning all for the loss of. doctors and potential lawyers who all lost their lives you know the gold strike that has not yet been claimed responsibility for but overall on social media is growing a sympathy or on the phone. to challenge the government to eradicate al-shabaab and come up with a strong security measure to ensure that the young people in somalia are not forced to flee the country but not in the queue that things are going just briefly if you would what needs to happen is for this situation to change. well the federal

government in mogadishu says that it is trying its level best in its capacity to handle and contain the militant group insurgency that are no entity strong yeah so the government in mogadishu says that it's limited in the past in one sense. a blockade and an up the bible rather by the international community the u.n. security council that was imposed in 1902 that is limiting the federal government of somalia from giving weapons to the forces to be able to touch the militant group one of the arguments that the generals are giving. the same weapons these militant groups are using is the same one that is posed that the government is using so it will be very hard for them to go ahead on monday might use what do you to god. the bible says they are asking the international community to give to the expectation to empower the tented to go to paul does at the time when general elections are due to take place next year and african union troops have been in the country for

almost more than one ticket now as opposed to the country so the government wants to support in its entirety sector reform to be able to contain this insurgency and secure the country ok thanks a lot of fake somali journalist abdul aziz below thanks for that and just a reminder that while the jihadist group al shabaab is often behind these kinds of attacks no one has yet claimed responsibility for this one. time now to take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world more heavy rains and flooding have forced thousands of families to leave villages and farms in western kenya close to 2000000 people in east africa have been effective these past 2 months with hundreds having died the rains are expected to ease up only at the end of the month. in lebanon hundreds of protesters rallied outside the home of the country's new prime minister demonstrators fired flares and demanded the

resignation of house and who is backed by the militant hezbollah group lebanon is facing its worst political crisis in decades protest against corruption and mismanagement have gripped the country since october. and 3 skiers were killed when they were buried by an avalanche on a ski slope in south to roll in italy the woman and 2 girls all german nationals died when a sheet of snow broke loose above the toefl had slope at 2400 meters elevation 2 other people were injured in the incident. russia has a trash problem just 5 percent of the country's estimated $70000000.00 tons of household waste is recycled every year that moscow is looking to fix that starting in january and plans to put sorting bins into every building the new recycling program may help quell protests in northern towns with landfills which receive

moscow garbage. when it comes to recycling big tortoise all of you over and mark seems a valid ski are ahead of the curve for around a year now the 2 muscovites have had separate bins for recyclables at home they try to avoid creating unnecessary waste and signed up to an environmental newsletter for advice on recycling. and it's not just muscovites well worried about garbage i see it in my friends and my colleagues to the issues getting traction because it's become impossible not to notice the problem using the chat. up until now recycling bins like the one in the couple's courtyard have been the exception rather than the rule but from january 1st moscow authorities promise that there will be separate containers for plastic glass paper and metal outside all residential buildings the reform will go into effect in 2020 across the country but critics say many garbage dumps aren't properly equipped yet and in moscow not everyone is so sure about the

changes. but we don't have separate containers in our building yet so even if you're a cycle at home it all ends up together with. separate recycling bins and out for a while now we separate plastic and cardboard. of course it's difficult at the beginning you need different bins and you need to separate everything. moscow's garbage problem has made waves far beyond the capital the city produces around one 5th of the entire nation's garbage up until now moscow has shipped out its waste to dumps all over the country sparking protests like this one in the northern city of our congress trash has become a political issue in russia one that its leaders can no longer afford to ignore at his recent annual press conference bloody near putin said russia needs to change its approach to. the sector of household waste processing never existed in the soviet union and it never existed in russia we are. relating it from the ground up

to now we've taken the fundamental decisions to stop that process. surveys show that most people in russia are ready to recite more at home but as the garbage continues to pile up critics worry that russia will just keep burying its problem. the 1st half of the current bonus league a season has offered plenty of surprises relative newcomers are being leipzig sit at the top of the league table and right behind them in 2nd place are bogus to mention blood by recalling the club's glory days of the 970. mark gotos a style of play has been a big part of blood back success pressing high up the pitch quick transition between defense and attack more push towards goal results in the 1st season half were impressive. he says ok so we're enjoying being higher up in the standings because it's important that we understand what's happening this is special for us

but it's not by chance we've worked hard for this week after week in the whole 1st half of the season and we're proud. of setbacks during the 1st season half didn't throw gladbach off balance newcomers braille them below and. are a perfect fit for the system and of boost for team spirit then this one from the start we've gotten along well even off the pitch or in the locker room you can see that on the pitch to every player who gets a chance shows the coach what qualities he has being successful together is the most important thing in mind some of. which takes a strong cohesion and successful football that's what characterizes the moments. and it brings back memories of the 970 s. when the club was one of the best in europe. this. is a club that has definitely made

a lot of history. at the moment we are in the process of putting the whole thing back on stable footing. when it comes to that is tradition and the president are certainly very closely connected. to ground work has been laid for making more history in. the teles away ingle is nearly blind and one of the fastest swimmers his age in germany now he's beat the time needed to qualify for the paralympics 6 months before the final decision on who gets to go to tokyo in 2020. she's 17 he's one of the fastest swimmers in germany and it is visually impaired and has a clear goal and shrewdness is the reason. i would be really excited to participate in the paralympics i would also be happy if i want to but i
