Hello im terry martin good to have you with us authorities in the somali capital mogadishu say at least 70 people have been killed by a car bomb explosion hit during morning rush hour at a busy security checkpoint is the most deadly attack to rock the somali capital this year. It was. Survivors of a massive truck bomb explosion being ferried to hospital out of all the attacks the capital suffered in 2019. This is the worst. Ive been here all the beauty of it knocked me to the ground with its force ive never seen such an explosion in my entire life will be much. More mention of that but its a blast took place as i was getting off a minibus. I was on my way to work the short of it my leg got injured some of. The tangled wreckage on saturday morning the people of mogadishu were gearing up for the new working week when the bomber struck. By a truck loaded with explosives was detonated at a busy control checkpoint the explosion led to many deaths and injuries. That it was. Said hours most of those who died here were students who were going to school or university. Here job. But in the middle of it a bus ferrying students to classes and lectures. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack yet but scenes like this of quickly familiar on the streets of the capital the un backed government in mogadishu is struggling to take control of the country the militant Islamist Group alshabaab has carried out deadly attacks here in the past now once again the people of this city are mourning their dead. And joining me on the line now is the somali journalist abdul aziz below abdul aziz what more can you tell us about this devastating attack. Well as it has been clearly mentioned in the report today that the week in mogadishu and as expected the popular junction known as x. Control is a part of a cavity because its the last checkpoint before and she and exits to mogadishu thats when Security Forces have put on tougher measures there to contain the attacks from and cheering at the capital city of mogadishu so at any given time there is a file on being checked and they have a particular tick boxes before being allowed inside and it is one of the reasons why these attack caused such a huge a casualty figure because it can get to checkpoint on the out because the movie. Killed more than 20 given to students who are in one minivan as well as other small School Going Children as well as members of the security calls and very quickly as were headed to a movie that you are out of mogadishu among the dead also include 2 turkish nationals who were walking on a strategic road but linked movies and of good will also been dead by the ministry of Foreign Affairs of somalia is there any indication of who carried out this attack. Well a lot of the biggest concern right now under this part of the last comment from the militant Group Alshabaab the government of somalia is already pointed fingers and the president of somalia mammadov the life of much of his Prime Minister a lot of the male. Mohammed. Clearly the reason the house of attack aimed at him is taking causing much of will to to go to the somali public this a lot of president who is quite clear you know the address to the nation really. Is a potent ideology came to somalia to destroy somalia and to destroy the people of somalia the somali public come together in this fight ok of those is no small it has been battling an Islamist Insurgency with International Support for years what does todays attack tell us about how that battle is progressing. Well thats an important concern because in the next year the Somali Government is going to have a general elections and this is one of the key pillars that the Current Administration will try to use to be able to come back to power again because its been 4 years and its been. A few posters what the coaches ahmadiyya under the current government has been in place almost 3 years now so this didnt look good on the ground to write a case about from the ground this is one aspect of the opposition or make of the trying to cop on the thing that the government of somalia is focused more on politics rather than security because the issue of time is popularizing the country only the countrys most stable that there will be no political environment so how this plays out in the next general election as times out of the daily. Abdulaziz below theyre talking to us online small a journalist thank you very much.

Up until now recycling bins like the one in the Couples Court yard have been the exception rather than the rule but from january 1st moscow authorities promise that there will be separate containers for plastic glass paper and metal outside of residential buildings the reform will go into effect in 2020 across the country but critics say many garbage dumps arent properly equipped yet and in moscow not everyone is so sure about the changes.
