palestinians. also on the program. grief and pockets taught as a suicide bombing claims, at least $100.00 lives and lost inside a police compound. authorities admit to a lapse insecurity plus ukraine reinforces its defense, is on its border with fellows, military intelligence. as the threat of a russian invasion, there is low but increasing as men closest brains with moscow. ah, i'm nichol fairly, it's cathy with us. you are a secretary of state to antony blink and has finished his visit to israel and the palestinian territories. after talks in jerusalem on monday on tuesday, he met with palestinian president. nothing a boss in ramallah for talks amid a spike and violence between israelis and palestinians. lincoln expressed his

condolences or the quote miss and palestinian lives civilians who lost their lives over the last year and urged a boss to de escalate tension. he also reiterated washington support for a 2 state solution, albeit without proposing any new initiatives. and during his short press briefing in ramallah, u. s. secretary of state antony blank and went on to say this. it's also important to continue to strive not only reducing violence, but ensuring that ultimately israeli somehow seems like enjoy the same right. same opportunities what we're, what we're seeing now citizens is a shrinking, brighten. oh, not understanding one. and that too, we believe is the same for the final take on lincoln's trip to the middle east. we can now speak to sammy suca. he's a journalist base in jerusalem. so me,

what do you make of blankets visit? was it anything beyond a show of good? well, well, at z a secretary of state, of course it showed his close ties to israel. a he met with a prime minister, the minister of defense, that there had this kind of like very close a link on security issues. and also all the issues connected to these early society . but what was really a striking where he says statement that he made in ramallah, the kind of sympathy that he expressed towards the palestinians. and also in condemning our or criticizing the kind of policies that the exact israeli government has decided on the last few days. he said that he is opposing the expanding of the supplement project. he's opposing the em legalization of outpost. he is opposing the demolition of palestinian homes. he opposes evictions. these are

the kinds of things that we heard saturday night from the israeli government. these are the kinds of policies that this government wants to promote and blink, and also of course stress the importance and the 2 state solution and resolving the long running conflict between israelis and palestinians. but that doesn't appear to be too popular with either side at this point. does that, how do we get out of the stand lock and do we need a new generation of politicians? well, blinking himself didn't have any strategy. he said that this is the vision, the 2 state solution. and he talked about reducing the tensions, but he didn't say, how do we reach to this a 2 state solution or a bus. on the other hand in ramallah was very clear. he said that the, the key is to follow the arab initiative. the arab initiative talks about it is early withdraw to the $967.00 borders, the establishment of

a palestinian state alongside israel with easters, lin, being the capital of the palestinian state. and this would be the key for normalization with the rest of the arab countries with the rest of the muslim world . on the other hand, nathan jo, he brought a different perspective. when he was speaking a, yesterday, he was saying that 1st of all, israel has to engage with the arab world, reach more normalization with the arab countries. and then the palestinian question will be solved. he doesn't say how and with this government that supports more settlements, clearly a palestinian state is not on the agenda at home or was lincoln's visit to ensure he has influence over the further course and events in the middle east, including of course the working towards the solution of the conflict yeah, well the americans didn't have any plan now. oh,

they just want to kind of like lower the flames. they. they gave a good boost to the movement here in israel. that is trying to block it. judicial reforms that want to weaken the judiciary a he said that he would add another $50000000.00 to a united nations agency that helps palestinian refugees. and the, basically, the whole idea is to keep things on a low flame. but we know here that things could explode again. summers are called journalists based interest on thank you for your time again. at least 100 people are now known to have died in pakistan, falling a suicide bomb attack and a mosque in signed a security compound funerals are taking place for some of the victims of monday's class. many of them police officers, pakistani taliban initially claimed responsibility for the explosion in the north

but cooperates closely with the alliance. used president joe biden has ruled out sending f 16 fighter jets to ukraine. there is growing debate among western allies about delivering war planes to keep ukraine has been seeking modern jets to replace its soviet build air force since the war began. followers and russia have announced a week long training program for officers in charge of their joint military grouping. and bella, bruce bosco's, troops invaded ukraine across the bell, a ruffian border last february, he crane says the threat of a renewed russian offensive. there is currently low, but they're doing everything they can to make sure that it stays that way. as our correspondent lux sunday reports somewhere close to the bell rouge border. under the cover of pine trees, ukrainian border guards are forcing their positions. she does not in these trenches are designed to protect the lives of the people in the

military as well as to provide defense bottleneck obama support as of them. so if the enemy attacks from the nearest road, if sure, our infantry will respond, it 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 these trenches are new. that others, but you can smell sawdust and the board seemed dry and clean. in the distance, we hear trees being felt broadly above it. all their messages russians won't get past them a 2nd time. with this bridge used to join ukraine and bella, luce, 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. oh, phil had lives changed forever. alexander lived here with his wife young mother and stepfather. he wants to show us the damage to his property. look me lemeu. the regular citizens were shelled with mortars mimi, the russian artillery was firing at the farm thumb and our tanks fired back at them . but the artillery and tank shells didn't hit our house, but the mortars did a little to be mimi. a wall came down on his mother and emilia, when they double billed wilma, this is where my mother's grave was. me said, speak up ali visibly mc, let loose alexander burried her here in his guard. only after the russians retreated, could he 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 to open you and panic. so there is no sense in panicking like when you mer to run, that we have nowhere to run to liberty. we'll see what happens. i shall go live, i'll budge him. most of those who are still here feel like him further down the road. yohina runs a shop. her house was also damaged in the fighting. it. 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. alexander look, ash ankle has rolled belarus with an iron grab 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 fellows and fleeing the country. many of them ended up in ukraine where they now have to contend with russia's war w. sonya found carson us this report from keith. hi. yeah. oh, glory to you creed, long lives better loose dissidence and even fighters, the ukrainian army, commemorate federal bill russians who have died fighting for keith organizers, see, it's the 1st rally bell russian exiles in ukraine. since russia's invasion, just months. audio 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 it along, the attitude has changed, but i get it lossless spoke the ukrainian security service came to my place or to check the apartment my phone little and we had a talk phone, but it was politely mom and bella, luce, people come in masks and with weapons, and that's the end they or muskogee thumbs. yes, but i am not sure unless says he can look freely, but he is 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. well, some younger chuckle, winnie me at the beginning of the war. i was really scared,

especially because of my last name, which is lucas shanker national health was a, was, i was scared to even say it or to show my documents, to say that i'm from bell. ruth resource 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. so he'll, she's volunteering for the war effort and is determined to stay in the house. 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 belarus, popping at the rally i. this is even as a reporter, he has to take a stance. he and i were to the tricia there below. when i came here, i asked myself, should i take the bell a routine flag with me still? a walk i decided yes kaya,

i knew this journalistic ethics don't allow it to leslie tell. but on the other hand, just 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 the keep touch. so this is our common more i came against our common enemy. and so with the support there, i love this over. it's supporting a lot of her. wow. the far closer look, we can now speak to all got drained of us. she works at the research center for east european studies at the university of bremen. she's also the coordinator of the network for bella. ruth, at bremond university, mr. novak good to see a russian and bell, rudy and troops have been holding joint military exercises in bella. ruth's for months now, but more broadly. how close is the co operation between minsk and moscow these days? well, i would say that it has never been that intense as we'll see it nowadays. of course i made you to the fact that the regime of lucas franka is now drastically dependent on russia. both political economically and also of course, militarily, as we see now,

not out of would reasons. but i would say that and also the russian side needs him because he seems to be actually the last so well represented. the last real aly of all put in the, in the so called paul. so it's the so both autocratic seem to have, you know, this common interest of seem to get in this situation. i think that lucas jenko would let himself be dragged into the war in ukraine. while there has been much speculation on that in the last months, we really do not know what happens odd between them. when they talked together on out of for me, logical reasons, i would say no. because this would destabilize a political situation in belarus and both lucas jenkins would, you should understand it. we have some data, some polls that show us that only about 5 percent of population in belarus would

support the participation of bill over in arm in this war. which is a way last that the potential electorate of lucas shenker, which should be nowadays between $20.20, maybe 30 percent. so lucas shanker definitely understands that i think he tries to present this to me. so not much support for a potential involvement, but how is the war in ukraine perceived by people in belarus, in general? do they have any access to unbiased information on what's going on in the country next door? that's a very good question. are because there is a big problem with excess, the attic, that information on the when valerie is since the, all the independent median values were blocked closed on the latest, i think in the of 2021. so people in belarus have a relatively easy access to lead wrongly a russian language, a state media. so they read it. and of course, there is also a note from the pause that there is

a very strong correlation between what kind of media people are. reads the state media from russia, belarus, or lieutenant media and what they think about the war and what they actually think about the role of belarus in this war. but still, nevertheless, even though they don't have this very good access to the information and there is still not the majority that supports the warrant, baller worse and all the imperialistic merit chiefs coming from marsh. they are not popular valor is of the way that popular russia, because it's a completely different society with different history. and that's also the problem of them. potential direct participation of belgium. this one that vellows itself was shaken by widespread protests in 2020 and there is a very active and prominent movement that once alexander lucas and go gone, you already sent that he's treading carefully out. secure is his hold on power. currently i would say it's not that secure as it might seem as

soon as there are 2 main pillars. i would say that's are the basis of his power nowadays. the 1st one is there oppressions apparatus. so we see that repressions have been lasting for over 2 years now and not just like that. he understands that he has lost his legitimacy within the country also internationally. and he doesn't have a majority so he can not stop there. oppressions. this is the 1st pillar, and the 2nd one, once again, the of the russian leadership. so economic and political support of russia in coming from russia without this support, he would not have been in power. i think nowadays, all that drilled of, of the university of bremen. thank you so much for your time. thank you. brazilian president losing nasa lula de so la says his country will not and weapons to ukraine for its fight against russia during a press conference with german chancellor or last shot in the capital. brazilian, the south american leaders and brazil does not want any involvement in the war

shots who has pledged more than $200000000.00 for environmental projects in brazil was hoping to rally lula support and providing weapons for ukraine. louis suggested his country and china can play a role in peace negotiations. a few factors that can't be possible in the 21st century that we're seeing a wall, and we don't even know why it exists from say, it's because of nato. some say it's because of entry to the european union. some say it's about the territory that russia occupies. there needs to be someone at the negotiating table. and i think that our chinese friends have an important role to play. if i go to china and march as planned, that is an issue i want to discuss with president changing ping. it's time for time to get involved and to try and help find peace between russia and ukraine, recycled. there should be no doctor when he says the car, while yo as the director of the brazil institute at kings college in london. and he told us why lula proposed

a broader piece talks that include china. that that comes together wheat, a typical approach of flu, less both and he's people's government. and now again, a sort of a more collaborative approach to international relations in not only concentrating the traditional players. and we should remember that brazil together we, china is part of the greeks in which we include russia force and also india. interesting during the speech of flu les, yesterday he mentioned china several times, but he also mentioned india and indonesia and menu, the congress. he was talking about, let's create that club to those, went to beauty peace in the planet. she used the example of what happened after the economic crisis, 2008. when did you twin to was create in order to, to reshape the globe to do the congress. and he's proposes something similar. so yes, in some way he was talking a lot about china, but not only in china in menu or that are actors here. he meant literally as

a said, india and indonesia as well. but frances has received a rapturous welcome in the democratic republic of congo. upon to have is making the 1st paypal visit to the d r c. since 1985 and a special address, francis condemned centuries of exploitation at the hands of colonial powers in africa, he demanded that foreign power stop pillaging the continent for its natural riches high hopes and happiness and the democratic republic of the congo. a massive crush of believers crowded the streets at the capital consortia port glimpse of pope frances as his fame pup. mobile cruised through working class neighborhoods towards the presidential palace. i am very, very happy. i don't know how to express the sentiment of joy. all kinds of feelings that i have decided must die out. why do sewer runs out?
