Hello im sam is a than this is the news hour live from coming up in the next sixty minutes egypts military uses add power to hit back after the attack on a mosque in sinai kills over two hundred people. The pictures pakistans government doesnt want the people to say private Television Channels on and off the air as hundreds of riot police move in on protesters. We go underground to check out a secret syrian hospital built to survive air raids plus. Comedy in a fantasy us ahead of sundays general elections the government says it has we do dramatically the number of violent deaths in one of the most dangerous countries in the world. Agents has launched a military campaign in sinai. The two hundred thirty five people were killed in an attack on a mask on friday president has sisi has promised to respond with what he calls brutal force a bomb was detonated in the mosque and the attackers then fired on worshippers as they fled the attack on the mosque and be alive it is the worst ever in the sinai region. Bob ayers is a retired Intelligence Officer and independent security analyst he joins us via skype from somerset good to have you with us that region does have a bit of a security challenge history you think brutal force will solve all fuel the problem i think for she made so you know media problem which were the perpetrators of the attack on america on the mask but brutal force isnt going to solve the problem but terrorism and china. Let me ask you this why was a supermodel targeted does it have anything to do with the perceived support from some figures for the regime like the october eighteenth announcement by share of the run him a xyzzy of the Supreme Council they supporting in indorsing the president s new term. But we have to stop for a moment and examine the sort of philosophical nature of terrorism today there used to be at least one point in time terrorism had a very specific purpose usually a political purpose unification of the irish ireland or drive the british out of india but were reaching a point now where terrorism seems to exist only for its own sake its becoming a needless philosophy typically terrorist attacks are designed to destabilize government put fear into the population demonstrate to the government as powerless in the face of terrorism and this is another example of terrorism for more than a psychological reason its for a political reason is trying to destabilize the Egyptian Government or show that the Egyptian Government is powerless to deal with this threat on that issue of showing the government is powerless showing will that undermine that the fact that has ccs security credentials in the eyes of people well unfortunately what sisi is going to do this hes already declared success overwhelming military forces that airstrikes use kill a terrorist cell that hasnt stopped the problem in the sinai now the next terrorist event that occurs in the region is going to be in spite of r. C. C. Saying hes wiped them out hes made the place secure so a c. C. S. Setting and so far up for a fall if you will because hes after east declare success its going to be shown that it wasnt a success is the solution here the thing that they there really has to be a serious political process to reintegrate those sections of society felt cheated by the military coup. Well were seeing a lot of a lot of different underlying reasons for people joining terrorist groups and the. The thing that we must come to grips with different when to deal with terrorism is not to try to if you will incorporate them into society is not to try to address whatever their perceived wrongs are its to address the fundamental underlying idiology that motivates people to take a terrorist group and embrace them and bring them into government for example simply moves the terrorist closer to the center of the government and then trying to destroy it or to destabilize thats why we have a problem with using a military term french terrorist you can kill a terrorist but you cant kill an idea and you cant kill is really ology right i mean it may be one thing to think of trying to bring people who actually engage in violent acts into government you know one could see how that could be a stretch as you you put it but i mean is there not a role for having more wider inclusive political system that doesnt leave people feeling like the political system doesnt really represent them and make them vulnerable to recruitment to extreme ideology. Well were seeing a past dating phenomenon in western europe and in the United States today and that is even in the political systems that or for the most part all encompassing all embracing very tolerant of different opinions different colors different races different creeds even in these very tolerant western societies were seeing an alienation between one economic class of people and the leadership of that country so we have to be a little bit careful in saying that the solution to terrorism is to make them feel more representative or more part of something when were seeing exactly the opposite occurring as a trend in western democracies that im glad you mentioned that because one could say though in the case of what were seeing in many western democracies at least if people go do things like vote for braggs that vote for dont trump rather than you know taking these kinds of extreme violent actions that were seeing in other parts of the world where the political process doesnt have so much the just of the c yes youre right but what were talking about is that a difference in the way of expressing dissatisfaction when you have western democracies at least for the last several hundred years the population has been conditioned to express their discontent through the ballot box and they do that as we see in the United States in the election of President Trump were seeing that more and more in europe you saw it with reports that but however if you live in a country that has no democratic tradition has no history of change through the ballot box youre left with change to violence change throughout who changed the rebellion and. All of these whether its about stranger rebellion change or a reflection of the underlying problem and thats a million asian and most people from leadership all right good enjoy this discussion i think weve come to the same page of the un thanks so much for an interesting chat there bob wise what now bangladesh in miramar of agreed to ask for un assistance in their patry ation of hundreds of thousands of rohingya Rights Groups have insisted on outside monitors to safeguard the return of their hunger to me in march but the un has expressed concern about the process. Is due to start in two months more than six hundred thousand rangar fled from violence in iraq and state to bangladesh child stratford has the latest from cox bazaar. According to the Bangladesh Government theyve come to some sort of agreement with the myanmar government as to a role for the United Nations the u. N. H. C. R. The Refugee Agency we now understand the myanmar government has given them the green light to myanmar had originally pushed back on any kind of role for the u. N. We also understand that according to the Bangladesh Government they are going to ask me and my to petition india and china to help set up these temporary camps in the areas where these villages that weve seen have been so horrific destroyed and burnt to the ground no particular timeframe though with respect to how long this process is going to take we know according to the Bangladesh Government that its expected to start in around two months time interestingly enough and its important to recognize that there is a specific group of reading that are being looked at as part of this agreement and they are those that came here to bangladesh last october and the six hundred twenty thousand that have arrived here fleeing me and mar since august so as you can probably understand there is a lot more flesh that needs to be put on the very bones of this agreement something that the Bangladesh Government already refusing to call an agreement theyre saying that they are working on some sort of a range meant to try and repatch we ate some of hundreds of thousands of people that you see in these camps one lady that we spoke to said that there was no way that she would agree to voluntarily go back unless she could be guaranteed some sort of citizenship card some sort of i. D. Card would be issued to her before she went back into the country guaranteeing some sort of citizenship status and as we know these people the right thing are they are not citizens of myanmar theyre affectively stateless people so theres no real understanding of pushing any kind of initial agreement forward and looking at the legal status of these people once they return to me and mark. Many minorities who live in but this majority me and say they often face discrimination christians living in the mountains near the border with india faced violent oppression on the military rule although the situations improved system remains stacked against them they say scott highly reports from half inch in state remote and rugged straddling mountain tops chin state is the poorest region in myanmar resources scarce development slow what is plentiful are churches they dot the chin hills home to about a half a Million People nearly ninety percent of them are christian and in buddhist majority myanmar they have faced decades of oppression under military rule. Forced labor force conversion to buddhism and persecution at one point bibles couldnt be imported. John across. To symbolize. The christian. But. A member of this Baptist Church who has lived all his seventy years in chin state capital four of his children emigrated to the us. Previous military governments didnt have interest and sympathy for i blame them for the Poverty Development and for no Job Opportunities for young people and thats why i had to send my children away. This small hillside compound commemorates the man who founded the First Christian community here in chin state American Baptist reverend Arthur Carson and his wife laura were the first missionaries to come here in one thousand nine hundred nine he died nine years later hes buried right here in hockey. The people of chin say the situations Getting Better but one Government Official himself a catholic denies past oppression. Most chin people felt like we were being oppressed but we werent it was just miscommunication between the government and people. But still today the government system favors buddhism. Even though we are a christian area the government schools are forcing Young Children to worship board ism and to take buddhism classes. Human rights activists say that the way forward for the people of chin for its future b. N. Mars leaders need to make good on promises of religious freedom. If not the minorities will continue to be treated and live as second class citizens got hotter aljazeera aka me and my. Zimbabwes former finance minister is in cold accused of corruption just a day after a new president was sworn in ignatius charm bow is detained by the military during the takeover that forced president Robert Mugabe from office meanwhile the high court has just rolled the militarys actions during the takeover legal under simmons joins us from a so the High Court Says its legit dymo sim bob when say the army action is that. Well zimbabweans are still in a mass state of relief and enjoyment in this position with mugabe out of power and really this seems to be more of a technical exercise thats the way it seemed to justify the whole action by the military ten days ago in taking power and allowing the events to progress basically its legalizing what happened now that is obviously good news in some ways for the present Administration Administration but then it does according to many lawyers and constitutional experts and indeed human rights people they suggest this could be a dangerous precedent it could act effectively legalize the military intervention act as a means of stopping someone from continuing in governance so therefore there is a controversy bound to emerge from this but the judge did say that it was completely legal for the army to take over and also support the president Robert Mugabe under house arrest so now were seeing the day after the big inauguration magog is getting down to business hes talking about getting foreign aid hes talking about investments hes talking about getting that debt relief its a long list but were also hearing from the opposition that things are not as rosy as they seem Nelson Chamisa the Vice President of the m. D. C. Which a lot of people know about its the Main Opposition Party is here with me thank you for joining us on the on this show im going to ask you first of all nelson straight up could you really party can it really do anything about the machine thats rolling now with a fresh face a new plan. Well i must say that sort of fresh face is a fresh hair cut it doesnt change the human body yes the fact that. Zine appear to simply change a little bit in terms of. Their hair cut not the face the face remains the same the board remains the same we are conscious as them to see that their face phase for us has been to do with the mugabe the person but the second face is to make sure that we deal with mugabe this is to so we have done with half the marriage we are going to the next major just to do the system but we have got twelve asli is not a fresh fresh face in terms of of governance because hes got a lot in the past hes associated with Robert Mugabe going back nearly half a century and with all the dealings and Everything Else but moving on from there it is a fresh deal in terms of the presidency with a whole new image potentially in terms of wooing the electorate isnt the m. D. C. Stuck really with the image that it was contesting but god his presidency more than anything else what do you bring to the table in terms of dynamism and can you actually deliver in the elections in fact were going to deliver and. We have very clear that this is our best opportunity to move forward we dont i mean were futuristic but more importantly we have a better and then i mean police alternative which means someone got ways and. He has been part of the twenty seven years of disappointment thirty seven years of the unlikely that you see hes from the same hotel as mr mugabe they are cut from the same tree so it doesnt matter that you present what appears to be a fresh deal it remains a pipe dream he said hi and this guy ok lets move on from there though you are being accused not you personally but the m. D. C. Is being accused of not really being with it not really being in a position to actually go with the time when they you do get free and Fair Elections assuming you do. Do you know able to actually get connected to actually have the dynamite not just the dynamism but the resort to communicate and reach out to the electorate what do you say to those accusations where the only credible alternative in the only credible deal in town in the country on the political make i must say that for the past eighteen years we have been consistent in king checking and fighting a dictatorship and we are so happy that we have one part of the war is not yet complete we need to make sure that the last do which is to do with the smushing of the system is what we then engage in in terms of the policemen you we are putting across is second to none and mr tries to borrow our language but he is not borrowing the sense in substance of change and this is ways going to be stuck with no doubt in our mind that is going to be a very tough period for him its easier said than done yes making a speech to say that is promising said and things does not necessarily mean that its going to deliver in fact is fine as we are concerned we see a deficit of action a deficit of delivery a deficit in terms of their commitment to the rule of law to governance to free and Fair Elections the situation on the ground is what is going to indicate i would have expected me to say is going to do away with the public order security act is going to do away with aipac is going to do away with the muslim of the press is going to do away with the political. Victimization of political players even within zanu p. F. The chief Board Members who are under arrest are supposed to be brought to the courts they are supposed to be accounted for in terms of the just system those are indications we would want to see because democracy has to be our first price Nelson Chamisa thank you very much for your thoughts and so there you have it a situation thats going to play out over many months to come when those elections actually come it is unclear at this stage its going to be next year it could be before september under the regulations it could be as early. But not before to you in the studio Sandra Simmons there are plenty more still ahead on the news hour including after years of court fights the u. S. Tobacco industry is forced to fund anti smoking at this months. Swing it will look at whether the u. S. President s playing too much golf. And in sport where the world tennis ball Company Davis cup final has. Now protests are spreading in pakistan after Security Forces launched an operation to clear a protest camp in the capital islamabad and right police moved in and threw tear gas canisters at the demonstrators who are supporters of a religious Political Party theyve been occupying an intersection for three weeks ignoring demands to leave the area private Television Channels were ordered off the air during the crackdown. Is near the eastern city of lahore so first of all of the police been able to disperse the protest camp near islamabad. Where the. Situation as you and the projects have now spread to other parts of the katie im right now on a main motorway that. We are toward that. Point and the city of lahore leading to a huge. Traffic jams karachi there. At the airport and weve just been. Going out. And. All right our apologies there were as you probably would have noticed having a bit of audio connection problems with. Well come back to you later now turkey says the u. S. President has agreed to stop supplying weapons to kurdish y p g fighters in Northern Syria this followed a phone call between trump and turkish president of the one white house later said it would make adjustments to its policy of arming its allies in Syria Trump Administration began supplying weapons to the y. P. G. Earlier this year before the battle to retake eisel stronghold of iraq are turkey considers the wife a terrorist group i mean. Number one subject that negatively impacts our relationship with the us is the weapon that its given to the y. P. Jean lately weve seen that some Armored Vehicles have been supplied and our president once again reiterated his discomfort to mr trump mr trump clearly stated that he had given clear instructions that the white wont be given arms and that this nonsense should have ended a long time ago of course we were very happy that this. Has more from the turkish city of ghazi untapped near the syrian border. Whats being reported in the turkish media as United States saying that it will stop arming kurdish militias does not reflect in statements that have been have seen from both president s met press offices they say that United States will be adjusting its policy when it comes to its allies in syria especially after the fall of ice and rocca turkey on the other hand has been calling for on the United States to stop arming these mainly kurdish fighters with turkey sees as terrorist wants the United States to be part of its campaign to try and clear the area of what it calls all terrorist groups which include these kurdish militias which are allies of the United States as these statements come there is no end to the fighting on the ground inside syria but we have seen attacks by Syrian Government and its allies on opposition positions rebel positions in not just the province of aleppo but also in the politics of hama in hama doctors and workers have been telling us about the situation on the ground they say their infrastructure has been systematically targeted by the regime and to save lives all they can do is dig tunnels and go underground. Samaras on the operating table because his leg was injured in an airstrike but this is no ordinary Operation Theatre its Hidden Underground so it can survive. 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 Syria doctors are keeping its location secret for fear of further attacks by government get. They showed us photos after some of the hundred thirty five yr strikes targeted their Hospital Medical facilities and medical workers nowadays are far from being working an ideal situation there are all sort of challenges one of the main challenges has to do with witnessing not only has been ongoing for a long time but at the same time he doesnt. Doesnt stop. This is what remains of many hospitals above ground. It took months of digging five hundred square meters and a mountain to convert into treatment rooms workers then plaster the walls and 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 safe is just one of the many challenges most hospitals in opposition areas suffer from a lack of medicine and other vital supplies to emergency exits in case of any attack being on the ground brings the constant challenge of maintaining the floor 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 Health Care System has been largely destroyed by six years of war Preventive Care units and Health Centers are nonexistent potentially fatal diseases are common because of a lack of vaccine. Healthcare 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 from a job with aljazeera. Mohammad cut too busy an advocacy manager for Syrian American medical society joins us live from gaza and tap into thats near the border with syria good to have you with us so since the hospitals have gone underground has that improve safety for medical facilities. Good morning actually this is a tactic thats we used against the strategy of attacks on how has we have been seeking protection for her for presidencies and didnt even the answer go to the concert a solution which was adopted on may in maine twenty sixteen no protection and no accountability for the violators why attack in the hospitals what we did is to start digging under the ground and using underground facilities and different strategies and different mechanisms to protect the Health Workers and the patients who are coming to receive health care in our hospitals one of them is underground facilities is this a beauty of the divisions of one hospital in several locations so. As were delivering the patients from one part to another instead of having all those in one place over socketed we will decrease the affected. Have workers all the injuries. Day after day its more challenging because when we started fortifying the horse with. Two or three years ago in different ways like sandbags. Building an additional war around the hospital and then the regime and its allies started to use alternative we more destructive weapons like a witness to use uses of. Bombs it was used against the hospital in a few days ago hospital under the ground which is supposed to protect the Health Workers and the patients this camp and its over six meters of cement so we have to dig more and more on top of the five hospitals and different ways in addition also we have to be prepared for Chemical Attacks and his host ryan to have been several times because its a strategy to attack hospitals so you have to dig under the ground and the same way sometimes raised to elation fire your facilities i understand youre under a lot of pressure to reveal the location of some of your facilities to the u. N. And you are reluctant to do that why do you fear that that will find its way from u. N. Officials to some of the people who are bombing your hospitals. As we as we raised this issue and we have been talking about this in every platform using the n. Channels and other channels media every place there and have been doing some what i feel like those of course but i think one of them is to share the demands of our hospitals with the. Military operation in the. Syrian government the russian the International Coalition we are open to do this but we need to get indies we need at least two and monitors so minute of the location so if its socketed what the next say theres no. Plan b. For this for this plan of of sharing coordinates of the hospitals was the next step if one of those occasions was attacked we did it we dont see any accountability mechanism for this even have been seeking for a visitation the commission of inquiry on syria in the middle Un Commission of inquiry in syria have you reported similar attacks hundreds of attacks actually on syria but but. You know even decreasing the rate of tax the. Hospital was a well known hospital it was a Public Hospital have been working since dozens of years and it was visited by the u. N. Delegation which entered a few weeks ago so its well known facility for the you so who can guarantee that a well known facility for the will be protected by its target a few days ago by a bunker buster. Designed to to penetrate any type of fortification all right well leave it there for now thanks for explaining the situation of the hospitals to us. Thank you.
