Fired on way ship as as they fled on a judge in reports. The bomb and gun attack happened during friday prayers at the other older mosque in bit aboud in egypts northern Sinai Peninsula local sources say the attackers planted explosives and then opened fire on worshippers while the sermon was underway. For. Oh it looks like it was a. Sideline a huge. Not really clear motive was i know its my responsibility yet but its very possibly and i said they have targeted sudanese in the past in sinai including you know ninety year old president im going to put that has sisi convened an emergency meeting of Security Officials has that had this this tragic event act of terrorism will make us more robust more a strong of a bottle against terrorism we cannot be intimidated i will result cannot be dented we would remain more united hello we need to bend the Egyptian Army would take revenge and they will restore order and security with an iron fist in the following day. Egyptian forces have for years battled armed groups in the countrys rugged and remote Sinai Peninsula attacks on Security Forces have been frequent like this car bomb explosion the targeted a Police Station in a lot in two thousand and fifteen really this i know theres been a lot of. Fighting between isis and Security Forces there for years now. And. In a lot of. Area as shock sets in and an investigation begins the Egyptian Government has declared three days of mourning my mage. And theres been an arrest in egypt Sinai Peninsula for decades ben i wouldnt chives in the region dont trust the government and there is anger.

Kills politics when when there were. Kills any hope of peaceful change. These these kind of humorous crimes happen so it makes sense although its in this climate we have to condemn it we have to fight it but we have to identify the real reason behind all these things if we dont then unfortunately im afraid its going to happen over and over again where does this leave the government now i mean what options are open to you i think the only way to keep to prevent i mean the preventive measure now if were talking about preventive measures i think we have to bring back politics. Something that was killed that was killed five years ago i think we have to call to to launch a call for social reconciliation along side by side with the security measures but we cannot we cannot talk about about stopping all these things when we have the president and i think the president should and his aides of course. They have to review the way they look upon these things when the president comes out yesterday last night talk about the engines then were not definitely talking about the state states do not talk about vengeance because vengeance only brings more vengeance. If we talk about justice then we talk about the only way to stop criminals of tomorrow from being born today this is what we should be talking about but we havent been hearing anything about doing justice for the lies last five years and that is also another serious mistake ok yeah kind of thank you very much. Turkey says u. S. President donald trump has agreed to stop supplying weapons to kurdish y p g fighters in Northern Syria is followed a phone call between china and the czechs president tired and one the white house later said it would make adjustments to its policy of arming its allies in syria the chump administration began supplying weapons to the y. P. G. Earlier this year before the battle to retake isis stronghold of rock or take he considers the y. P. G a terrorist group that speeches on a binge of aid he joins us from gaza and top near the turkish Syrian Border tell us what these turkey u. S. Lines mean. In the larger scheme of things relationship between the United States and turkey has been deteriorating this was seen and welcomed by the turkish government as the phone call between the two president s turkish media interpreted it as a call and an exception that the United States will stop arming the kurdish militias the Kurdish Fighting force the ethier forces who are mainly kurds and y p g a group considered terrorist organization by both sides is part of them so that is what the turkish media was interpret thing as but in the statement from the United States and from the turkish president s a very carefully drafted statement which says the United States will be readjusting its position to work when it comes to its allies it does not say that it will stop arming militias it will stop the flow of arms to militias but it does not the fact that isin has come to an end in Northern Syria which is itself declared capital of russia but that does not mean that the fighting has stopped Syrian Government and its allies have continued to hit targets not just in the countryside of aleppo but also in the countryside of Hama Province in there people are saying that they have been come under systematic attacks where opposition areas specifically have been targeted by airstrikes and and Ground Forces and there. Infrastructure including hospitals have been taken out and they are having to make some really. Archaic measures what theyre doing is theyre digging tunnels theyre going in the ground to save lives. Samaras on the operating table because his leg was injured in an airstrike but this is Northern AreaOperation Theatre its Hidden Underground so it can survive carried. Off im afraid when the regime targets a hospital i lost a member of my family in an airstrike. Its known as the cave hospital in northern thirty or so doctors are keeping its location secret for fear of further attacks by government gets they showed us photos after some of the hundred thirty five yr strikes which have targeted their Hospital Medical facilities and medical workers nowadays are far from being working an ideal situation theyre suffering all sort of challenges one of the main challenges has to do with the insecurity they are witnessing not only has been ongoing for a long time but at the same time it doesnt it mostly doesnt stop. This is what remains of many hospitals above ground. It took months of digging five hundred square metres in the mountains to convert tunnels into treatment rooms workers then plaster the walls and place fan bags at the entrance increased security. This is the doctor who began the project he was also killed in an airstrike last year and his colleagues continue to face challenges. The biggest problem is the airstrikes which target civilians this hospital is theoretically safe but we expect anything from the government and its destructive weapons making the hospital thief is just one of the many challenges most hospitals in opposition areas suffer from a lack of medicine and other vital supplies that are to emergency exits in case of any attack being on the ground brings the constant challenge of maintaining the flow of fresh air so doctors and patients dont suffocate. We face difficulties such as ventilation and shortages of medical supplies after securing ourselves in a cave inside a mountain because syrias Health Care System has been largely destroyed by six years of war Preventive Care units in Health Centers are nonexistent potentially fatal diseases are common because of a lack of vaccine. Health care is being used as a weapon of war in syria doctors say targeting hospitals means denial of treatment and the only option to save lives is going on the ground. Zero.
