Promised a brutal response. This these tragic event act of terrorism we make us more robust more stronger was bottle against terrorism we cannot be intimidated i will resolve cannot be dented we will remain more united when this event army will take revenge and they will restore order and security with an iron fist in the following days. Egypts Security Forces have been battling eisel fighters in sinai for years resulting in hundreds of deaths at least forty eight soldiers and Police Officers have been killed just this year one of the worst attacks was in july when twenty three soldiers died after a suicide car bombs tore through two military checkpoints in the last few months theres been a rise in attacks targeting local tribes who work with the armed forces i saw brands them traitors for cooperating with soldiers and Police Another major target is Coptic Christians in february dozens of christian families fled the region after a number of killings by suspected i saw fighters but i think how this is a nonresident fellow at the tully or institute for middle east policy he joins us now live via skype from cairo thank you for joining us here on out jazeera in the past hour we heard from president promising that he would deal with it with an iron fist and then we get reports of air strikes very close to where the attack that took place is this i guess the sort of response we can expect from president c. C. Oh its certainly predictable that there would be a high profile a military campaign. In response to the attacks of what we saw earlier today which is. I believe the largest death toll from a terrorist attack in his modest rejects. The question that we have that we weve been asking for quite some time is. Is this drudgery effective without the concern that many many of us clean myself share is that the kind of scorched earth approach that the government has undertaken. Doesnt help really combat long term the threat of terrorism coming from sinai. By. Making peoples life inside actually difficult with extremely draconian curfews and a lot of crackdowns and round ups that are often very surgical. There we run the risk of isis finding it easier to recruit people and easier to find safe haven and so the. The the important thing is to look at approaching this with a more sophisticated strategy that balances the need to be decisive at times with the need to to build a coalition that can really deny isis any ability to operate in sinai. I mean it has to be said no one has officially claimed responsibility for this attack just yet but we were reading earlier just how many attacks there have been in sinai that this is really nothing new but what do you make of the differences the specifics about this one the number of dead obviously a massive attack and also the target a mosque. Well the number is on precedent as i said even the metric at the tax side i call you back killed two hundred twenty four people so to thirty five its actives the largest death toll that its ever seen from a terrorist attack. The mosque is known as it is known to be a sunni mosque so theres a theres theres a reasonable theory that. To an extent this is art of isis kind of view that cities are radical and so it would for them legitimize them as targets that has to be coupled with. Reports that this mosque is one that a number so architrave ten who have been. Who are seen as collaborating with the government by isis and as you mentioned earlier in your report we have seen a number of attacks against people inside guy over the view by isis that theyre collaborators in the us. And the maze. And its part of the but this is also part of a really troubling trend with isis attacks this past year in which high profile attacks on civilian targets are being more and more often started with a lot of attacks on churches and a group of christians traveling to visit a monastery now we have this attack on another place of worship. Its a scary try and its a dangerous trend and it gives one a lot of concerns about the safety of civilians now in egypt. When the sinai is willing to a target them as well timothy call this long resident fellow the tarring thank you for middle east policy thank you. Was staying with the Story International condemnation of the attack has been quick the white house has called on the International Community to strengthen efforts to defeat terrorist groups u. S. President donald trump also tweeted calling it a horrible and cowardly terrorist attack on the fenceless worshippers israels hard line Education MinisterNeftali Bennett also says its time for International Unity in the war on terror and the british Prime Minister to resign may says he is appalled by the sickening attack and sends condolences to all those affected.

But has more now from cox is bizarre. There are of course a major issues with respect to the implementation of this agreement that has been made between bangladesh and men with respect to the repatriation of bringing the refugees chief of which of course is the question of exactly where many of these people go back to their villages have been destroyed burns to the ground hundreds of thousands of them across this border and they brought literally nothing with them including any form of identification and myanmar is insisting that an identification process must start that says that this agreement is loosely based on one that was put together ninety ninety two when there was a similar outbreak of violence in one thousand nine hundred two they were going to refugees that came they had white cards now these white cards were proof of residency not citizenship myanmar government now saying that if the regime the cuties here now have proof that they once had one of those white cards then they would take to eventually be allowed to return and they also say that there is going to be a system put together. Papers disseminated within the refugee camps where people can register listing their former addresses their family members but of course is the issue of literally thousands of people there who are missing family members many of them are children so its very difficult to get solid identification of these people.

To Arabian Peninsula where we have a little bit of rain clearing through and certainly cooler conditions quite chilly in fact in riyadh nineteen degrees certainly with low humidity will feel pretty chilly meca still though it thirty three degrees heading on through into sunday temperatures begin to recover a little bit conditions chair across the region of abu dhabi looking at my sort of twenty eight degrees in southern portions of south africa weve got a lot of cloud and rain developing across eastern parts of the country some heavy rain is likely here should ease off later.

Argentinas president says he expects search teams to find his navys missing submarine within days but he didnt specify whether the navy expect that the find survivors the second one went missing nine days ago off the coast of southern argentina with forty four crewmembers on board it can only remain submerged for seven days russia is sending a new search plane but hopes of any survivors are fading after the navy detected an explosion close to its last known position vanish rymer is at the naval base and mark the plot that would speak to him now. What do we make of mockeries statement he does seem a little optimistic perhaps. Anybody really expects them to find at least one of life among the people crew members. The the president and the Argentine Naval autoroute is still continuing the search is still determined not to give in on that score they have the help of the craft of ships of. High technology on the water rescue vessels out in the south atlantic theyve been searching pretty much the all. Already lost contact with the submarine the a r a a sound one on the fifteenth of november but they now think that the submarine is at the bottom of the sea anything from two hundred meters or below the sea level to several thousand perhaps so they hope to find a submarine ready to answer some of the questions but the families of those forty four crew members many of them left this base yesterday very angry with the way the operation the search operation is being conducted with the information that came their way many of them have said theyve been told that the crew members are dead and theyre not going to see them again but they like the rest of argentina are asking for answers as to what happened as to why the information took so long to come to light the way it came to light and also the vessel itself the sunk one it was built in one nine hundred eighty three commissioned in one thousand nine hundred five a very old a diesel electric submarine it was true to carry on operating for another thirty years or so so people are asking whether it was obsolete whether it was safe two of those taken to see the author or it is a been trying hard to answer those questions saying they did all they could but really is a country in mourning now for those forty four crew members the families gone home to carry out that morning leaving the base where im standing now and obviously you know this is a tragedy for the families their loved ones of the forty four crewmembers but for months at a political point of view you were mentioning a lot of the issues that this raises what could be the political repercussions of this. Well really to ask first of all argentina has three submarines possibly now two what the purpose of those submarines and why the governments of previous governments have not invested in upgrading dating some of this what seems to many to be obsolete equipment although the storage you said is not obsolete its still functional. And also really just the way the search operation is being carried out whose hopes were raised there was talk of a sound of sonic waves being found in the south atlantic which then turned so nothing families were kept here without being given much information they say the really many questions about of the future role of the armed forces of the navy in particular how it should be funded and what it should be funded with. With the latest there from argentina thank you its give you an update now on the breaking new
