And in german soccer its a job a day in the rule a valley with tris has hit the rich you dont want facing in the form shall come dont want a coach probably needs a victory to survive. War. Welcome my name is Christopher Spring a good to have you with us egyptian warplanes have. Hit back at militants suspected of carrying out fridays attack on a mosque in northern sinai the jets struck a mountainous area where the militants of thought to be hiding out yesterdays bomb and gun attack during friday prayers left at least two hundred thirty five people dead and more than one hundred injured so far no one has claimed responsibility but socalled Islamic States remains active in the region. House of prayer turned into a place of carnage these images from egyptian t. V. Showed the horror of what went on inside the mosque. The attackers came in off road vehicles surrounded the mosque and bombed it was fired upon as they try to escape. Hundreds were injured many were quickly rushed to nearby hospitals some even had to be taken two hours away to the city of is my. One of those who managed to escape recounted what he had seen. When the shaikh said in the name of god the most merciful and compassionate to begin the sermon he heard gunshots and sob bombs being thrown and for his people all of them they were firing on everyone with. Egypts president tried to reassure shaken a nation with a sad and im going to stick with the military and police will return security and stability with absolute power within a short period of time this is our retaliation. We were respond to this attack with brutal force against these terrorist extremists. The military later said that it had destroyed the vehicles used in the attack but that means little to the victims of this act of terror theyre still shocked that a place of peace became the target of such hate. On the line now for more from the egyptian capital cairo journalist karim. Karim is the background to this attack any clearer this morning. Not really i mean we have a claim of responsibility circling the internet. Claims responsibility but its not clear if if this came out of course we have competing militant groups. Connected to other groups connected to al qaeda operating in china so its not completely clear who is responsible and karim tell us a little bit more about the sinai region an unsettled region Islamic State has been active for years what is egypts strategy in the region. Thats exactly the very potent point that this is an area where we have a small scale war between Security Forces the military the army on one side and. The other side and this war is going on actually goes back to the times of Hosni Mubarak what happens is that the security increasing if you. Yesterday for example the military airport. As an answer to the attack yesterday. Before so one of the Big Questions right now is what can be done which is not already done in order to fight the terrorists in northern china so there are really no recipes there is a discussion right now to evacuate. China but that would increase the problem because you would report the problem to other parts of other parts of. The nile valley so there is no real what this will do more than it already and karim just briefly if you may you know this is the first attack on a mosque in egypt most of the attacks have been on christians is this perhaps a new strategy from the militants. You know it could be illustrated you get twenty five you get them what the pick of course its an easy target because we have hundreds of thousands of one through this country and its because of course to put it possible to protect those who get good data on the weak point but at the same time it could double edged split because im short because you can easy target but at the same time of course you dont make friends in the bijection population you dont win the hearts of my Digital Coalition if you are going to church ok karim hari in cairo many thanks for that background youre welcome. Time to catch up now on some of the other stories making news around the world the libyan coast guard has intercepted more than six hundred migrants bound for europe most of them including women and children from Subsaharan Africa the United NationsInternational Organization for migration i. O. M. Says more than thirty three thousand migrants have died in the mediterranean trying to reach europe since the year two thousand.

Now here in germany the center left social democrats have said they are now open to Coalition Negotiations with chancellor Angela Merkel s. P. D. Leader Martin Schultz had originally rejected the prospect of another term as junior partners to mckelvie conservatives but she changed back after talks with the german president on thursday now germanys current political turbulence erupted when the countrys probusiness free democrats walked out of negotiations on a socalled Jamaica Coalition some commentators saw that as a serious blow to chancellor merkel others however say she may emerge stronger. In the middle of the night chancellor unlimited his dream of it to make a coalition was irrepairable shattered. The possible alliance with the greens and liberals collapsed a bitter defeat for america but not the end she takes it as a challenge and moves on. As a german chancellor as acting chancellor we will do Everything Possible so that this country can be led through these difficult weeks ahead if you have votes. And her party stands behind her every move despite the cd use poor Election Results and the failed Coalition Talks even policy mia formally a staunch critic now supports marco. Near the end the fact remains that germany need stability and if anyone represents the stability its the german chancellor and. Journalist and listening to wrote a book called the miracle glossary for him one thing is clear even though the Jamaica Coalition wont happen merkel will profit in some way. That merkel has experienced that a defeat can be transformed into a win or a small success this has happened again and again on the european stage. One triumph after months of fighting with their sister party the c. S. U. Over refugee policies now the c. S. U. Praises markel. Thank you thank you for these four weeks. Second triumph the relationship with the greens has improved previously an alliance with the environmentally Friendly Party would have been unthinkable now they are potential partners. How do you now its all options open to them we stand united thats the difference between us and all other parties merkel and the german president have been discussing new Coalition Options one thing seems clear merkel will remain chancellor. Because we have not prepared an immediate successor charcoals who would be accepted by everybody and there is no one who naturally fits the bill of becoming the next chancellor that leads to the c. D. U. And c. S. U. Uniting in support of america. Even in the event of new elections on america would again step forward as lead candidate even in a minority government she would remain leader. In a t. V. Interview she clearly states im not afraid of anything. There are still new chapters to come in the miracle glossary but the one covering jamaica is certainly finished. Turning to german soccer now the days big fixture in the bonus league or is the rule valley a barrister dortmund hosting show after a blistering start to the season dont want to know in crisis coach peter bosch facing speculation over his job boss knows that nothing short of victory today will do. Shift change at. The last coal mine in the ruhr a region once peppered with them both Martin Hildebrand turned to me kyle franz can now focus on darby weekend martinez a dortmund fan. A shock a supporter this weekend these friends are rivals and if you go through the votes in teams fans are always having a go at each other and maybe ill come out on top but maybe he will but someone has to be the winner and i hope its dortmund this time. Hoping for a three one win for shall go if its us then well have bragging rights over the dortmund fans in work on monday and. For the first time in a long time shall car favorites their coach to many go to disco is taking part in his first start be the thirty two year old has helped his team reach second in the table hes been accused of playing unadventurous football but the shock of fans dont care. And can monday morning i was buying bread rolls normally everyone is friendly towards me but this time i noticed they were extra nice and because. Its a different story for a counterpart paid up polish indorsement its the dutchmans first darby at the helm but hes feeling the pressure to pick up three points his side hasnt won a blunders league match since september. Another defeat could mean getting the boot even if this person i know that could happen this its happened to great coaches in the past but it doesnt concern me that im just focused on the match because its a game i really want to win. The derby isnt just any old game in the ruhr mikail and martin will be both hoping that work on monday isnt the pits. And for more on the job the earlier how tacky with me now from g. W. Sports we just saw peter bosch the top one coach there under a lot of pressure going into this job in the early game today if fail to win. Is he out there different ways to look at it from a mathematical point of view they have one win in their last nine games and the two against a Third Division team in the german cup so if football is a numbers game has to go out but perhaps i mean it was also not everything lets take a look at it and is perhaps bosses i use tactics to blame the pay us sure seem to struggle with that but one can argue that maybe the pass ought to be aimed because they are the ones who are not executing his system one hundred percent but that of course begs the question as a coach why not implementing a system that suits your pay is so either way you look at it coaches are always doomed theyre always to blame they that the buck stops with the coach but things are going so well for bush at the start of the season a fantastic beginning to the season whats gone wrong will add the results were going well you know i mean were not going not going well recently but the problems will always be they were caught out early they were exposed in the Champions League we saw their problems in the fens and. You know bosh being bosh he was always really stubborn saying that im not going to change my tactics im not going to fix the system because its giving giving me the results in the industry as it was just a matter of time before those very same problems caught up with them and were seeing it right now ok so clearly something is not working dont what about childhood theyve been pretty good form recently second in the table they the favorites today yes they are and were talking about this yesterday that it seems like shock is dancing to the to disco tango so its like they come to the left of the coach yet because youve got you know that they come packed a few in it and most of all the Main Building block has been defensive stabile a d. And its working for them they have after by and nick actually the best defensive record in the d. And a much sought after midfielder in leon correct. I dont identify as already and i think theyre going to leave as interested as well i think with the truck if indeed of the sportsman he thinks. Youre watching t. W.
