Everyone no one my question is why you did not ask him. Mohammad subfield leads an association which oversees 56. 00 mosques in cotton could he he says he was concerned about xerox all month which called for the killing of nonbelievers. But mohammad couldnt stop him building this Religious Center downtown. I strongly believe you i did my part. But the police. And all of them to conduct the program then they did the program so the security personnel must take all the responsibility in terms of this blast and misters ahead on activities. Mahmud hizbullah was the governor of this region at the time of the attacks a political ally of sri lankas president hes been accused of not doing enough. Before the instore attacks did you have any knowledge of the m. T. G. I and their role in iraq if in this area of course theyre there theyre functioning no 2. Indeed here as as the devil in this group. Not terrorists we dont know about the terrorism as a religious group theyre functioning but only think that extreme on the religion when wasting their norm using nothing in the white could be a tux a photograph surfaced from 2050 showing his blood shaking hands with zac brown as 2 other Easter Sunday suicide bombers the bomb if you need to his school law and some polity. Believe in new on we knowingly or unknowingly supported these type of extremists you hide these groups without you know concerning the consequences of this a number of politicians have accused you of being involved in the n. T. Before the attacks is that a fair accusation how involved do this come. Portelli denying is indication. Of the count to 10 percent of sri lankas population and most practice if he is but in recent years conservative interpretations of the faith taken root at towie. Gradually within the 2025 years that this community how very very keen interest to practice islam as a saudi arabia as the middle east you know because within 15 yes they have the Muslim Community they have changed the address. Critics of the law say as governor he allowed too much change to the social fabric of cutty. To this town have a problem with radicalization. This this ridiculous situation and specially extreme is we had some issues before. 2 years ago and theyre taking their people and. Their mind from that there is. That extreme is a religious group. That National Poll here but we never expected. In all the terrorist groups or. Muslims that conservative tar we mosques say they follow peaceful teachings and now being unfairly targeted at one of these mosques we meet mohammad built. Around when the suicide bomber was in his light. And was identified as though hed from the beginning so we say and because he committed suicide people are looking at us suspiciously and i thought he thought but not although hed sent does follow his line of preaching. You know 1st in sri lanka who are align ourselves with. His action has affected all the muslims in sri lanka where there are no heed to feeling a little bit. Mohamed says as ron became more radical he leftys months and started delivering his own hardline sermons. Across kept them. Then in 27 tane he when he the hiding after a violent clash with a group of sufi muslims or any other of the layout of the human body he has antagonized politicians and also antagonized islamic groups who are against his teachings or who didnt follow his teachings so he accumulated enemies on all sides because of his actions he says clerics now educate youth year about the dangers of extremism but he fears islamophobia and new aggressive security measures who discriminates against members of the Muslim Community. They were over ruled out by this so they get out there checking every house and the muslims are welcoming them and are prepared to identify the perpetrators. But if this situation continuous its natural that the muslims will feel victimized by the money going down so these actions have to be stopped if weve gone to stop a lot of people like zaha done being brainwashed then we need to unity and Cooperation Among all the risks. Under the state of emergency 10000 soldiers have been deployed across the country and as during sri lankas civil war the been given powers to search interrogate and arrest anyone without a court order so theyve been sweeping the same houses in this neighborhood for the last guy searching again and again and again. Some muslim politicians fear a whole community is being demonized for the actions of a few. That needs to be education among the Security Forces so. That they will not. Over do over each dam and it and. Sudden produce has to create a sense of grievance among minorities certainly governments should not become regulators of lifestyle. But the government has imposed a temporary ban on muslim face coverings islamic schools and sermons by clerics and now subject to time on the true. Conservative members of the government also want bans on foreign islamic teachers and kids on Things Solutions islamophobia not peepers identity in their faces. And i said you would not ask them mostly i say human we all human should you know that. This is muslim i didnt. C read the clampdown we hear reports of attacking shops in homes owned by muslims we head to a town 2 hours north of columbus where theres been an outbreak of communal violence and inflammatory social media post by a local muslim has reportedly triggered the mob spirit apparently a curfew has been in parts and papal im allowed out but were going to see if we can get close to the site but theres some damage over that you can say that some damage over there and it appears as though someone is throwing rocks into their shops. When we begin filming a story owned by a muslim man grab your stuff they are stopped the police try to stop it stop they say showing such images make sure lanka look bad. But a day like that theres no hiding the violence sweeping the country. 20 movie or a tucked. Hundreds of muslim owned properties are burned. Down. The government says the only way to stop such attacks is tougher hate speech laws the while and attacks against the other religion that cannot be accepted we should poorly really get that type of extremist groups with dates coming from. Their days coming from islam is where those coming from. In recent weeks there were demonstrations by powerful signal of buddhist groups linked to past violence they accuse governor has blocked into local muslim politicians of being involved in the attacks the men deny having links to the in t. J. And quits they government parts we had to stop all this ridiculous im not totally muslim even saying hello in Sola Darcy Ralph how cute and 7 of the muslim ministers also step down they all insist the government is filing to keep muslims sites from persecution there is a gender fear say causes that is being exploited by certain unduly elements certain is enough forces out there who survive on propagating their own brand of ideologies. As face becomes the new front line in post bush manka those scarred by the easter attacks feel abandoned and where in the future as catholic priests we are not now of us but we are now or some other people all of hungary. I mean in the harmony my message here try your best to keep close to your relationship and we need to members. Though somebody has his family handles catholics ok stand just be to get into and to work together. I mean tension and heightened security st sebastian stretching new gumbo is slowly trying to recover but the hope of priests like father pereira. Yeah i mean the papacy to me now with a change he stated the and i will for my people i mean this in the novel. But for many Parishioners Church will always be the place where loved ones came to pride and never came. Upon him entry is investigating the security lapses that led to the Easter Sunday bombing but sri lankas president is refusing to cooperate his. Father pereira says the politicians id just as culpable as the suicide bombers i would like to say that its a terror act by them though and they have done what he would damage to our families i mean it it even to the christians. And these members should how to resign and. I myself in person really. Im never going to want them. In future. So you have no forgiveness for what i have done. To me how part of the. Act. I am not ready to accept them because they may be going to do the same here i mean it is a game. Laxman says he writes that his family were not high in the Easter Sunday attacks. But for him for lanka will never be the same again. And i would to family out of that and how do you consume a family who has experienced debt album. In one house the father is alive but the children a dear little died. In another but children are a life full of mud to find that is not their land them in the church there was one abandon charge crying without beatings. Who will console the child and what ive seen politicians come and go but the charity will live with this sort of whatever. In future i hope we can move forward and that all religions can prosper together in harmony. For now unity remains elusive in a tiny island nation of many faiths and in the cities. Where bigotry often spirals into bloodshed another war with the could to rile the prosperity bilks from 8 years of pace. Across china millions of cameras are watching citizens every move and score their behavior one i want to investigates chinas surveillance crackdown on how does the. Its a climb to one of the holiest sites in. The streets seems to defy gravity every few cities is expected to complete the pilgrimage to ensure peace and happiness but it became a democracy in 2008 the time put happiness at the center of all political policy inspiring the un to pass a resolution urging other nations to follow putins example but how do you measure it. Its a nice happiness when sure its if it is quantifiable but by simply turning its pursuit into policy time has done what no other country has.

S. Was prepared to launch an attack the doning of an unmanned military drawn by iran. These pictures are said to be the Missile Launch which are really in television says was filmed by the islamic republics revolutionary guards the u. S. Said the drone was over International Waters a claim disputed by to run. Donald trump says while 3 sites had been identified for strikes he cancelled the operation they came in they censor were ready to go wed like a decision i said i want to know something before you go how many people will be killed. In this case or rainy and i said how many people are going to be killed. Sir id like to get back to you on that great people these generals they said came back said sure approximately 150 and i thought about it for a 2nd i said you know what they shut down and manned. Drone plane whatever you want to call it and here we are sitting with 150. 00 dead people and that would have taken place probably within a half an hour after i said go ahead and i didnt like it i didnt think it was i didnt think it was proportionate in tehran the revolutionary guard put on a display of what it said was wreckage from the u. S. Drone recovered and a really intended trick the head of its Space Division claims a manned u. S. Spy plane near detroit was not targeted that i wonder is it at the same moment when the aircraft was being tracked another spy aircraft called p. 8 was flying close to this drone that aircraft is man and has around 35 crew members where we could have targeted that plane it was our right to do so and yes it was american but we didnt do it we hit the unmanned aircraft.

Special representative in iran has been in riyadh brian who promised the u. S.

S. Ships and bases are within range of their missiles Hillary Mann Leverett is a former white house official she says by canceling the attack President Trump is trying to send a message to iran. I think the president s 1st choice is to have a dialogue that would lead to a bigger better deal and i think that the launching of an attack or ordering the launching of an attack and then ordering it to stop is a message to the iranians im not sure that they will get it it may not be all that coherent but i think it is a message to the iranians that look the president United States can attack but has stepped back has actually stepped back and is now waiting for iran to come to a negotiation or to a dialogue of course iran is not going to want to negotiate or talk on these terms but the problem for iran is that President Trump has these 2 goals either to get iran into a bigger better geo which could potentially be good for iran or to to take Even Stronger i think military action against iran both of those goals can in trumps perspective from the white houses perspective serve his purpose either he has this great deal to advertise as hes going into a Reelection Campaign which he Just Launched this week or hes got you know hes got himself looking tough against iran on the world stage when he calculates and he may be wrong but i think this is the calculation that the europeans and even the chinese and the russians are not going to come to irans aid and so either he will benefit because hes the triumphant person who can bring about a bigger better deal or he can watch iran be fundamentally weekend with no one coming to its aid either way trump thinks that he you know he will have a win for the tensions in the region and pushed oil prices by almost 10 percent in the last week analysts say it is driven by feasibly u. S. Military strike on iran which could disrupt supplies from the middle east it accounts for more than a 5th. Of the set of global will exports poss through the strait of hormuz. Do you think that if we saw a military engagement between the u. S. And iran that oil prices would spike not only because that era is not the source of a lot of barrels of oil but its also a very important transit way and with military action that could cause a halt to shipping in the region were already seeing an impact on air travel in that area where the f. A. A. Has issued warnings to u. S. Carriers not to fly airplanes over that area and if we did see a military military activity it would impact shipping which would impact the flow of oil now immediately the areas that would be most impacted by this would be asia because asia is getting at is where most of this oil is actually going.
