authority that hill no doubt urge is very beneficial for both sides. another thing potentially on the agenda is hillary edge urge the palestinians to stop pursuing israel in international court. that's namely the i c j. and i see see 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 strengthening of ties between the u. s. and the palestinian authority. something that was almost a if not completely severed under the trump administration. and that was rebecca read or speaking with us earlier from jerusalem. and these 95 people are confirmed dead after a suicide bombing at a mosque in the pakistani city of pasha war rescuers are still searching the rubble . but hope of finding more survivors is fading. many of the victims were members of the security forces from a police compound surrounding the mosque. while the pakistani taliban commander

apprehension. as it remains unclear who is responsible for the blast. food walk, you're sure loaded off of milk while you're sure it's a huge concern for us. that bombers can enter mosques, so many people dead. they were beautiful people, people's children, people's father. so it is a matter of great condemnation. the terrorists can enter a government department, global law if they don't even have security. what safety can they provide us of order will go? mob called gravity, was almost hallberg as families and loved ones pray for a miracle. authorities are anxious to determine who would have carried out an attack that even the taliban refuses to justify. and here is a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. hope francis has left rome for a fix, a visit to africa. his 1st stop is the democratic republic of congo, home to more than 45000000 catholics. francis is aiming to bring a message of peace to the war torn nation. it is the 1st paypal visit to the

country since 1985. a new wave of strikes and protests is hitting france as opposition to the government plan. pension reforms continues public transport, schools and electricity production are all effected. more than a 1000000 people joined. the 1st nationwide strikes on january 19th, according to recent polling over 2 thirds of the front public opposed, the reforms u. s. defense secretary lloyd austin and said that washington would boost security cooperation with south korea. as he met with his counterpart in sol, austin also promised that the u. s. would deploy more advanced weapon trade to the korean peninsula. amid rising concern over north korea's weapons testing program, nato chief un stolberg and japanese prime minister for mucous shita have promised to lose ties. the pair said that they were concerned by the growing threat to

global security posed by russia and china as they met in tokyo. japan is not a needle member but cooperates closely with the alliance. belarus and russia have announced a week long training program for officers in charge of their joint military grouping in bella, bruce moscow's troops invaded ukraine across the belly, mercy, and border last february, ukraine says that the threat of a renewed russian offensive there is currently low. but they are doing everything they can to make sure that it stays that way. as our correspondence back standard reports somewhere close to the beller rouge and border under the cover of pine trees, ukrainian border guards are reinforcing their positions. as you can say, that it is not in new bedford, these trenches are designed to protect the lives of the people in the military e as well as to provide defense mobile my d a bonus to put in

a deep my chest at them. so if the enemy attacks from the nearest road, yes, sure our infantry will respond. i was just a little you let us know that i am would, unquote. and he won't go into detail about their preparations and won't even confirm that he's trenches are new at others, but you can smell sawdust and the boards seemed dry and clean. in the distance, we hear trees being felt broadly above it. all their message is russians won't get past them a 2nd time. with this bridge used to join ukraine and bela bruce. the defenders blew it up to try to stop the 1st rush in advance. now they are looking across the river again, right now, the situation here seems calm, but soldiers here prepared for this to change at any moment. the worries are that the russians could push through here again in the 2nd attempt to take keith with freshly mobilized troops and lessons that they learned from last time. it's places

like these that the russians moved through before. the settlement south of the border where the fighting was fierce, i feel had lives changed forever. alexander lived here with his wife and mother and stepfather. he wants to show us the damage to his property. took me in the moon with the regular citizens were shelled with mortars. let me, the russian artillery was firing at the farm thumb and our tanks fired back at them lightly, but the artillery and tank shells didn't hit our house, but the mortars did look to be mimi. a wall came down on his mother and on the leave on his elbow. oh, fool, fool dilemma. this is where my mother's grave was me to speak up only with lilly mccoy. lucy alexander buried her here in his guard. only after the russians retreated, couldn't move her to a cemetery. and yet, alexander doesn't want to be of was rosure luby. i believe that people have

experienced such horror that it is difficult for me to add anything. yeah, you have to live. we want to live open and panic, so there's no sense in panicking yet. when you where to run that we have nowhere to run to liberty. we'll see what happens. i shall go live above him. most of those who are still here, feel like him. further down the road, elena runs, a shop at her house was also damaged in the fighting. it's, i don't even know. i don't want to go anywhere. and at the moment we're not able to . it's very scary for children and i'm very worried. every one we met, you can talk about pain and loss, but it seems courage and determination run just as deep. oh bella versus authoritarian liter. alexander, look a shank on meanwhile,

is moscow's closest ally in europe. while he is repeatedly denied that he is taking orders from bruton, the increasing collaboration between the 2 different countries tells a different story. in the early days of the war, a birds eye view of this ro towards cave caused shock and fear in ukraine and beyond. satellite images revealed is 64 kilometer long convoy of russian tanks, headed towards a ukrainian capital from the north as part of moscow's invasion of ukraine, russian troops and at the country from bella. ruth and territory. in february 2022, a grand assault on kia for thought it. but the offensive showed that moscow could count on its ally in minsk. i if somewhat is thinking about driving a wedge between us, it will not happen to many. it was no surprise it, but a ruffian leader, alexander lucas shanker, is politically isolated in europe and heavily reliant on the kremlin. in october,

the 2 countries announced the joined force of russian and by the ruffian military unit station in bel arose with an early january. so lucas shanker, pay a visit to russian soldiers. they're both putting in. lucas shanker, have looked to display unity, but that doesn't mean that the 2 i lockstep according to exiled belushi and opposition. the dot svetlana chica know sky put in also most that there are some people i guess we'll get shanker and disposable. and participation of bill we're central school rise. unpredictable consequences to i doubt that the possible at tech can take can k co place like lent, but south can be launched from billers and territory at any moment. hard evidence of a planned russian invasion from bella. ruth is also a spot and i'll get right to your questions. we do know that russian forces have conducted exercises with bella. ruth forces, but at this time,

no indication of any type of offensive action that looks imminent. but again, we'll continue to closely monitor real quick to, to look through joint drills with russia for defense purposes. only pictures like div haven't a late fears that moscow is planning a repeat of last year's assault on keith. and katya lod studies the relationship between bella, ruth, russia, and the west, as part of the european leadership network and the center for european policy analysis. i asked her earlier whether she thinks russia is preparing a fresh attack on the ukrainian capital. keith? well, most military experts saying that the attack from russia is quite likely this year, but we don't know where they will be from bella bruce. and to be honest, the military exercises in bella. ruth, don't really tell us that the attack is going to happen from bell roy. it is and

imminence. the most significant signal, hey, is that we are not seeing really sufficient number of russian troops. in fact, the number of russian troops has decreased a few months ago. that were about $1011.00, thousands now, half at least of those troops that have already been sent to don boss on behalf of round $5000.00 russian troops and bella, bruce, so we are really seen more than the military equipment on the soldiers. i b said further away from bell roads, that of course, does not mean that the situation will not change, but at the moment there are no signs that there is any deployment of troops or any deployment of joint commands being billed to bela bruce, what do you think that is, um, you know, you mentioned that there were fewer troops in belarus as that just because russian forces are stretched thin at the moment. well yes, as traits thing as also because bela ruin has been more usta and more

effective for being as a very good, safer logistical ria support to the russian boy in ukraine. we have seen that valerie has been used as a launch pad. ammunitions have been sent about 65000 from september to march last year that some figures behalf a billie bruce is read. it has been more useful in this sense because the troops that deliveries possess a small in size. and another thing to remember that's a very low in morale than not reliable they may deserve on the 18 percent of the bill origin public think that if bill origin troops were sent to fight to ukraine, they would find most people think that they would deserve they were trying to fight on the ukrainian side, but they will not participate in this war. ok, so you know, when we look at the situation also more broadly, belarus itself was shaken by of course widespread protests in 2020 and there is

a very active exile movement against its ruler. alexander lucas shankar, i'll secure, do you think his hold is on, on power and how dependent is he on, on russia and couldn't yes, his hold is free to secure it now and he still has very um, small supports compared to their supports dead opposition enjoys in deliberation society. um however, there are some people there at minority are always minorities in bella. greece could think that it's thanks to the consent that bell risk is not being dragged into this war. at the same time, people on that very frustrated with the war because over 80 percent of the bill origin, public unlike in russia, did not see this war as justified. and they did not want to see russian troops stationed on the bill of rich and soil. so from that perspective, people are against the regime. however, there is, the team is still very strong. it's garza and obviously as you mentioned,

is got festival russian supports politically unfamiliar political, military, and economic support. and economic support has been very important. we have seen that despite that the sanctions that have been imposed by the west on beller roost, beller is, has been able to read, have wrecked most of its trade flows to russia. now about 40 percent of the for example, are trade between bella ruiz and the european union has been taken over to russia. so roughly is really a very safe harbor to deliveries. and we have seen that the relations between the 2 leaders have been recently quite good. we have not really seen thus. poison is pushing, lucas hankins is sending troops. on the contrary, russia has provide a cheaper price for the gas for delruda, our lower price for oil, it has given bela rizza, more investments in terms of helping to peel enjoy into your equipment. so it's a,

it's been quite good for lucas shanker, but his support is still their catalogue fellow at the european leadership network . thank you. lucas chateau has ruled belarus with an iron grip for almost 3 decades. the last election was held in 2020 and it was followed by mass protest over the results. the descent was soon crushed, leading to thousands of delaware scenes fleeing the country. many of them ended up in ukraine, where they now have to contend with russia's war. he w sonya found the car reports from keith i. oh, glory to you creed, long lives better loose dissidence and even fighters, the ukrainian army, commemorate federal bell russians who have died fighting for keith organizers, see, it's the 1st runny by bell russian excites in ukraine since russia's invasion,

just months earlier, alice me now had fled to ukraine, to avoid prison for his activism. he said a warm welcome don't, frosty after moscow used bell russian territory to launch its invasion as rosamille tell them on the lawn. the attitude has changed, but i get it and push lossless, spoke the ukrainian security service came to my place, or to check the apartment my phone little and we had a talk for now, but it was politely long and bella roost. some people come and masks and with weapons, and that's the end. would they or muskogee thumbs. yes, boy, i'm not sure unless says he can work freely, but he's working alone. and on a shoe string, he says, feels the bellows might again, help russia attack. make people ho wary of him. it's a feeling familiar to irina. another young been a russian who fled to ukraine. they bought miss home, but starting to feel settled here. with some younger chuck grainy me at the

beginning of the war. i was really scared, especially because of my last name, which is lucas shanker national helpers alliance. i was scared to even say it or to show my documents, to say that i'm from bell. ruth was patty and i don't know what's worse when there's a war and missiles can rain down on you, or someone can come to your home at any moment and send you to jail. that will elena says, she's applied for asylum and ukraine. but as a bella, russian still can't open the bank account. the 3rd hill, she's volunteering for the war effort and is determined to stay in the highest. i'm inspired by ukraine, how they're organizing, how they're volunteering, how they're working together. i would love to see the same thing and bella, luce, my property, at the rally i, this is even as a reporter, he has to take a stance. he and i were to leticia below. when i came here, i asked myself,

should i take the bell a routine flag with me still awoke? i decided yes kaya, i knew this journalistic ethics don't allow it to leslie tell. but on the other hand brushed it's a time when even journalists should take a position for to hold. that is the show which side there on. so was out of sticky trash. so this is our common war against our common enemy. and so at the support there are in the presence of principal in a lot of her. and here's a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. news zealand is bracing for more heavy rain this week, following new severe weather alerts. at least 4 people have died and flash floods and landslides. auckland is under a state of emergency order. on friday the city experienced its worst down for on record. lawmakers in peru are considering bringing forward elections to try an end weeks of violent protest if approved holes planned for 2026 could be held this year . protesters have been demanding fresh elections since former president pedro

castillo was removed from office in december. indian billionaire guar tom a dani has fallen out of the list of the world's 10 richest people. days ago. he was the 3rd richest person on the planet, but his wealth has plummeted. more than 7000000000 euros in the last 24 hours. this follows allegations of stock manipulation and fraud in his spiraling business empire. brazilian president lewis ignacio let us sylva says that his country will not send weapons to ukraine to be used in its fight against russia. during a press conference with the german chancellor, olaf sholtes in the capital, brazilian, the south american leader said that brazil does not want involvement in the war. bar lula said that china could play a role in peace negotiations. schultz who has pledged more than $200000000.00 for environmental projects in brazil, was hoping to rally lula support in providing weapons for ukraine. at the brazilian

president reiterated his fans that russia and ukraine were equally to blame for the war renewable few seconds. it can't be possible in the 21st century that we're seeing a war, and we don't even know why it exists. or some say it's because of nato. some say it's because of entry to the european union program. some say it's about the territory that russia occupies, so there needs to be some one at the negotiating table. and i think that our chinese friends have an important role to play wash. if i go to china and march as planned, that is an issue i want to discuss with president sheeting ping, it's time for china to get involved and to try and help find peace between russia and ukraine. forgettable. recycle. prepare shoes you big. and earlier i asked you to be a political correspondent, li, only phone hammerstein if brazil's refusal to help arm ukraine is political liability for german chancellor olive shots. well, all of shows certainly had hold,

she would get munition, but it didn't come as much as a surprise because brazil and lula have been pretty clear on this position of the country of peace as lula said again in the, in the press conference and also m he wasn't the 1st latin american political leader who basically told shoals know to sending weapons argentinean president, am i better fernandez had said that argentina and latin america would not send weapons to ukraine, would, did come as a bit of a surprise and you could see it in air chances shows us face and was when lula reiterated that both countries were to see, you know, share the blame for the conflict and, and didn't find, unlike as jillian and argentinean counterparts. very clear words of condemnation of russia invasion of ukraine. and also said that china would have to play a very important part in potential peace negotiations. and the brazil, as

a country without a clear stance, sort of unusual player, would help to achieve peace in ukraine and, and in working you know, helping sort of in those p piece talks indeed. and just to reiterate, i mean, what was said was he said that russia and ukraine were equally to blame for the war . tell us a little bit more about that statement and whether or not it's an opinion, shared regionally. what are we to make of it? yeah, i mean it's important to just look at the context in general because obviously rushes and, you know, the war and the sanctions, the harsh sanctions on russian of russia and, and they're in suing, soaring food prices, energy prices have hit the region of latin america, particularly hard and plus brush had become sort of an important player in the region. just one example to our vaccines. it sent to latin america during the

pandemic, m plus in general. and you know, in latin and many latin american countries because of their own past chair, sort of a skeptical skepticism towards interventionism and sanctions. so i was just one part of the actual asian off off lula statement there. leon if, on how much time in berlin. thank you. from cook's 4th news before we go by, our munich have completed the signing of portuguese defender jour gonzalo from english champions, manchester city on a loan deal until the end of the season. after a disagreement with the coach pet quality. although con charlo was given the all clear to leave manchester in search of more playing time elsewhere, he arrives in munich during a spell of uncertain form for the german champions. who haven't won a league game so far this year? it's understood that the loan deal includes an option for buyer and to buy him out right at a price of around $78000000.00 euro quick reminder of our top story
