was there another symbolic meaning to this beautiful painting that perhaps we just don't understand? the search for answers starts from 1110 on the w. o. this is d, w. news live from berlin. grief in pakistan as a suicide bombing claims more than 80 lives in a mosque inside of a police compound. most of the hospitalized are police officers and the search for survivors continues. now there are questions around the pakistani taliban initial

claim of responsibility. also coming up u. s. secretary of state antony blanket meets israel's top politicians and calls for both sides to pursue your call. after the latest alfred break of violence between israelis and palestinians, and ukraine reinforces its defences on its border with belive roofs. military intelligence says the threat of a russian invasion there is low, but increase it as men closes ranks with moscow. ah, i'm sarah kelly walked into the program. the death toll in the suicide bombing at a mosque in the pakistani city of pasha. war continues to rise. more than 80 people are confirmed dead, while dozens more are injured. rescuers are still searching the rubble,

but hopes of finding war survivors is fading. many of the victims were members of the security forces from a police compound surrounding the mosque. while a pakistani taliban commander initially claimed responsibility for the attack, a spokesperson for the group has backed away from the claim that they were involved in a motor home. mournful prayer, as, as officers are laid to rest with fill police honors ah, just hours earlier and a legend, suicide bomber detonated his best at a mosque during afternoon prayers. emergency crews raced to the scene some using their bare hands to free those trapped in their rubble. languages, there was chaos. at the sight. i rescued 7 people and put them in ambulances, or just one portion of the mosque had totally collapsed in the blast. and i cannot

give you the exact figure of casualties. there were many worshippers at the time of the explosion make up any more digging of the mug away. most of the victims were members of pakistan's security services. the mosque is located inside a police compound, in a high security area with other government buildings. it's a major security breach. it's not yet clear how the bomber was able to slip into the walls compound and blow himself up amongst the hundreds of worshippers. dozens are injured and in critical condition. hey, this is a good week. i little there are a lot of bodies here and we are transferring them a good idea. but me, but this is not the 1st time this kind of bombing has happened local to halo. your hobbies are here from 2006 to now we have had enough of terrorism and thousands of people have lost their lives. requests with the victims were visited by prime

minister shabazz sharif in hospital after he condemned the attack. it's still unclear who is responsible for the blast. as the victims fight for their lives. authorities are anxious to determine who would have carried out an attack that even the taliban refuses to justify. and from war, let's bring in d, w reporter venus javert. joining us here in the studio, there's some confusion about who's behind this attack. unfair, i thought initially a faction of taliban are by carefully valuable known as the tippy claimed responsibility for the attack. but the mean group ttp has distance. it fell from the attack. but d t p has been attacking arca. funny security officials are in federal, dedicated incidents, and they have claimed responsibility of these dogs believe that the fear that us last year more than 100 police officers were killed. ah,

but it's not only ttp that's operating in the region. last year there was a suicide bombing in a mosque claimed, and the, and an affiliate of the for qualifying. instead, group came responsibility for that. a dog embedded i got out 60 people were killed for different groups are operating in the region. but ttp forces the most threat to the state when it comes to terrorism. when we talk about that threat more broadly speaking, um, why has the government been unable to deal with the insurgency? the government did carry out multiple military operations against insurgents, especially after 214, when in a school a been, a school was attacked by ttp, and more than 120 children were killed at that time there was a consensus among the government and multiple multi mom military operations were get it out and between 20152020. there was a significant reduction in data incidence. but now the government saved as i've

gone. taliban have taken over in understand our buckets on a valuable have started attacking aggressively, especially targeting security officers. the govern government also blamed the former government for initiating peace dogs with burgundy taliban for him. don hahn former prime minister focused on an initiative these dogs. there were at that facility did by a taliban, a critic fear that these dogs with the deadest organization emboldened them. because during this dogs to offer compensation m, ron asked some of the fighters to return back to pakistan. there were, there was a plan to the heavily did them as long as they lay down their arms. but in reality it didn't happen. the choice between the 2 parties august and the taliban broke. that was the govern government also blames of gone balaban for providing 5th heaven to buckets any valuable and for not in not controlling their movement when it comes

to entering into pakistan. so there are multiple factors, and there is also a criticism that currently the government lacks consensus and doesn't have a cohesive strategy to counter terrorism feeder views. venus shove it with more on on this incident. thank you so much for putting it into context to us. as turn to other news, u. s. secretary of state antony blinkin has met with israel's defense minister. we are jo of galant into ruth's love. he told him that washington's commitment to israel's security remains, quote, iron clad. lincoln's visit comes amid an upsurge and violence between israelis and palestinians. he also sat down with the opposition leader jojo le. pete lincoln is also set to hold talks with palestinian leader mackwood abbas in the west bank. he is expected to urge abbas to de escalate tension and resume security coordination

potentially on the agenda is hill urge the palestinians to stop pursuing israel in international court. that's namely the i c, j and i c. c, that something that may well be discussed along with other gender items that were already this was a long planned visit and there were some other things that were going to be discussed and they will continue to be discussed, including bolstering the palestinian economy, which is struggling and of course, a strengthening of ties between the u. s. and the palestinian authority. something that was, are almost if not completely severed under the trump administration. okay, and, and rebecca, we also know that in terms of agenda today, blinkin is going to visit ramallah after that meeting that we mentioned with israel's defense minister and the leader of the opposition. what, what have we been hearing after these meetings? other streaming, as you speak of the yale appeared and the defense minister, of course, is very standard meetings with a high profile visit like this. it's usually these hope visits of the person will meet with the opposition later. the same happened in the summer when joe biden came

. he meet, he met with that, then opposition later benjamin netanyahu. ah, but what makes it it perhaps, especially now gives it more emphasis is of course the proposed changes to the supreme court in this country, which are very contentious and, and concerning for the u. s. they really see any potential changes to that as, as a threat. to democracy in this country. and so that would have been high on the agenda when he met with yellow paid earlier this morning than he met with the defense chief. that's also very standard. the 2 countries have very close security ties, and this visit does come at a time of high tensions, not just on the israel palestinian arena, but also because of the iran. we saw the thwarted attack yesterday, which some people, some media outlets in the u. s. a. reporting came from israel, that there's been no comment from here and so he will have been briefed on the situation there and bins and been thanked for the u. s. support. okay, the debbie is rebecca readers interview salaam are following this visit. thank you
