abu bakar abu ba kar ba'asyir abu bakar ba'asyir pledged allegiance to the so—called islamic state ineal concern is now, even though he does not wield much power over the jemaah islamiah, he is senior enough to influence other militants, that is really what many are concerned about. we will leave it there. thank you very much. brazil has surpassed 200,000 deaths from covid—19, with no signs of the virus slowing down. the country registered 1,524 deaths on thursday, the highest number in more than five months. brazil is the second—worst—affected country in the world when it comes to fatalities, as our south america correspondent katy watson now reports from sao paulo. history is repeating itself in the amazon. nine months after the biggest city in the rainforest was overrun by cases, manaus is once again struggling to cope with covid—19. it is a picture that is being repeated throughout brazil. hospital beds filling up, medical teams working relentlessly. 0n the very day brazil registered 200,000 deaths, it also clocked another unwelcome record — nearly 88,000 new cases in 24 hours, th

interestingly, he also said, abu bakar interestingly, he also said, abu ba kar ba'asyir‘s interestinglyba'asyir‘s son, said he was going back to an islamic boarding school that he had established in the 1970s. the graduates of which were linked to militant attacks, to militant groups. so again, a whole load of concern notjust in indonesia, really, but around the world, especially here in australia, at what the release of abu bakar ba'asyir means, whether or not he is going to go back to inciting violence and hate. and actually we heard from people, family members, for example, who heard about his release and said he should not be freed, he should receive a life sentence for each life lost. but we have also heard from one person who lost five friends in the bali bombings saying that the fear now is that now that he is out he would preach more hate.|j thought this was going to be ultimate closure from me. i thought after 15 years we're not going to see him walk out ofjail. now we can see him walk out ofjail and i am thinking notjust the horror and the memories coming back, but it is the f

now, abu bakar bashir, a radical muslim cleric and alleged mastermind of the 2002 bali bombings, hasd from prison. his family picked him up from a jail on the outskirts of jakarta. the 82—year—old is widely considered to be the spiritual leader of an al-qaeda—inspired group that was blamed for the attack that killed 202 people. the bbc‘s shaimaa khalil is in sydney with more details. we know that abu bakar ba'asyir was picked up by his family from jail and reportedly taken back home to centraljava. as you say, the 82—year—old is the spiritual leader of the al-qaeda—affiliated jemaah islamiah, responsible for many attacks. the most consequential, of course, were the 2002 bali bombings. 202 people died, 88 of them australian, so this news brings up so many raw emotions for so many people here. of course, not very far after in 2003, the jw marriott attack in jakarta. important to note, though, that even though abu bakar ba'asyir was strongly linked to those two attacks he was never really convicted for them. he was actually imprisoned in 2011 for links with a jihadi training militant ca

the prison just outside of jakarta with more on the reaction to the clerics release police released abu bakar bashir in the early hours of the morning before the sun had even come up in part hoping to avoid any sort of spectacle by supporters of the controversial cleric the question of the shias release has always been controversial in 2019 the government proposed an early release for the cleric and that was met with strong condemnation from from the public and in the end that police never went ahead this time is different however abu bakar bashir has served his sentence in full and there are no further mechanisms to keep him behind bars security experts say that the 82 year old is in poor health and has diminished influence over the years and it's unlikely that he would continue to be a security threat police however will continue to closely monitor bashir and he will be under surveillance for the rest of his life. and present a ruling a south korean court has ordered japan to pay compensation to 12 women used as sex slaves during world war 2 turkey has called the ruling regrettable an
