and welcome to the new. headquarters and. coming up the next sixty minutes. have only been able to reach a quarter of nearly fifty thousand families. at least fifty. of the government protected status and people in hawaii a forced from their homes off to a volcanic eruption and a series of earthquakes. it is the n.b.a.

defending champions in the playoff race. by the pelican to cup and western conference. of disease outbreaks following severe flooding in kenya at least one hundred and twelve people have been killed and more than two hundred sixty thousand displaced over the past two months while aid workers say they managed to help just a quarter of the nearly fifty thousand families in need of shelter after weeks of torrential rain the red cross says it doesn't have enough money to fund emergency operations anderson has been traveling with one of the relief teams. it looks like a vast lake yet this is the river town or it's consumed villages and lives.

we change course away from the river going deep into the bush. the mango trees full of fruit. the birds make good out of most situations. is lost when you look through the clearing. was a seasonal stream turned into this. the forces of nature the water line that still rising on the shoreline ahead people who have walked for hours from higher land they've waited days for help to arrive no cheers no shouts no pushing but the need here is deep seated. it's not everywhere in the world where you'd find people so calm in a situation like this when they've been marooned for several days with absolutely nothing coming in until now but there are pockets of anger.

sadness i hear that i have been here for the days waiting for the help i haven't received anything. and wheat in it all now i need it now. he has all the right saying that but again i can also help way come. because we've done what we can for now and we are asking more people to come and help us so that we can reach more people. and even some of those getting their rations of food anough aid to give them basic shelter feel it's not enough this mother of eight is setting out on a two hour walk back to where she's living rough her home has been lost along with her life still oh i don't so much that let alone i get i was even though i'm scared about my children the hungry they're exposed to the rains and because of that we're likely to fall sick for those left behind you can see it from their expressions they need help now along with so many others and even more remote places than this

and i'm sure is joining us live now from school and ken if you county which has been converted to a cap for people displaced by the floods what is the situation where you are ender . well as you join us elizabeth chris move the camera right away there is a development here because more than three thousand internally displaced people who are seeking shelter in this school with reasonable facilities are now on the move again not because of the forces of nature but because of the government the government wants to get education going again in this region and that means reclaiming this school and as we look further along here along the line just now we know only a few people left the majority have already taken some equipment with them to set up camp in the area in the center of this town of work around she which is not

ideal i have to say where they will get some tents some food some basic rations but it's on a hillside and it's not ideal it's all there will be a total of four thousand five hundred people there in a short period of time and see their people are having to register all over again to do that it's a miserable experience for these people they've lost their homes they've lost so many possessions and now they're in this situation this is a different position to the one you saw in our report that was the river town this is the rivers the baki another major river in the neighboring county that's burst its banks and this isn't going away because the metaphor cost for this long range season is suggesting that it could go even longer than normal into june so there could be weeks of more suffering ahead and all the attendant crises that these people in not just here in this region of kenya but others as well. andrew as

we mentioned the red cross has said that they have run out of money for their emergency operations what is the government's doing it's actually making people from this camp to somewhere else is it doing enough to help those that have been affected. well if you ask people in a very calm and reasonable way they say enough isn't being done but they're very very aware that children need education and they're prepared to put up they're such a resilient people here they're prepared to put up with these hardships in order to get children into the school they're prepared to live rough and get their kids to school it's remarkable really you think they're just going to keep a zero no protests no nothing no cars the government's concern is this providing assistance to the kenyan red cross it's playing with equipment the boats we saw on a trip into that area the remote area and those marine people are provided by the

government the government of supplying food aid as well but it's not enough no it's not enough because this is an extreme situation and the knock on effect will be this area has come out of an extreme drought in what is a dry season by nature but extreme drought and the long rains started and they turned into torrential rains and this is an extreme of another aspect to the season it's certainly not right it certainly appears to be climate change of course it's hitting those in poverty harder than anyone else andrew thank you very much for that for now that's anderson and strong as live cattle from counting in kenya. let's move on to other news now the u.s. has announced a change in policy that could lead to the deportation of tens of thousands of doing immigrants donald trump's administration is ending a program that allowed them to stay in the united states humanitarian groups are calling the decision heartless and agalloch of imports from washington. fleeing

a time zone with seoul either. when north korean leader kim jong un stepped over the border and thirty minutes ahead in time a week ago state media says he felt it was painful to see two clocks on the wall of the summit venue indicating pyongyang and seoul times so he decided to realign the time zones as the first practical step for a national reconciliation and unity. up through a bumbling degree is a unifying the future the standard time should unify first is what you need this is just the beginning step by step what maybe not in our generation but in the next year we will have unification south korea welcome to the move saying it represents a decision to remove the obstacles in the path to enter korean and the u.s. north korean exchanges and cooperation that are to come. well such reconciliation steps have given hope for peace but there is still tension especially near the border with scuffles broke out with police on the south korean side when

a question of when but where the volcano might erupt what's different this time is that a new fissure is a period much further down the mountain the challenge with this activity is the fact that it occurred in a populated area now the question is will it stay in that area will it move to another part of the part of the volcano and how long will it last. officials ordered at least seventeen hundred people to leave their homes including everyone in the town of. residents are familiar with the dangers for years ago kola way is lava flow stopped just short of the town. experts say the guess is and highly toxic but while the lever is dangerous it's slow moving that means people will have time to escape even for those who did get close to it that buildings can't be moved and homes have already been destroyed or an evacuee you know have to. take it over to get food and coke and all those. red cross.

a ceremony and tree as the celica of bread and reports. karl marx is everywhere in tree here his face is on posters his name is on street signs his image is even on the traffic lights tourists are flocking to the house where he was born and to coincide with the bicentenary three new exhibitions are opening here to examine marx's life and his pioneering work in political theory and economics marxist this weekend and marx is such an important thinker because he connected the us society and the developing capitalist production in a way no one else did so intensively it is especially doc connection so significant even though it now seems self-evident and we can learn to do the same thing today for our circumstances because we live in complicated times translated into dozens of languages marx's communist manifesto change the world it inspired revolutions in china russia cambodia and cuba and profoundly influenced modern day social

democrats across europe and beyond his prediction the communism would inevitably overthrow capitalism has since been proved wrong but marx is analysis of the unequal relationship between workers and capitalist bosses remains relevant to this day. germany has a somewhat ambivalent attitude towards marx but in three year he is embraced in a way that the man himself may not have appreciated the bicentennial of the godfather of communism is actually turning into something of a capitalist bonanza for the town of true here in the souvenir shops as a whole variety of comics products on sell comics books comics clearings a money box a mug even a column marx rubber duck and here look a column marked wine naturally it's a red wine perhaps this image appropriation proves that his analysis was actually correct evidence that material he would see his theories is being confirmed because he wrote that everything becomes good so merchandise and capitalism now here in

south has become the dice marx's image is certainly iconic his profile instantly recognizable of marx's funeral friedrich engels eulogized his name will enjoy through the ages and so also will his work it certainly has paul brennan al-jazeera . well let's get more on this now we're joined by a solution either a researcher at the institute for global dialogue that's an independent south african think tank and she is joining us on skype from cape town very good to have you with of on al-jazeera i said mark this ideas were important to africa's liberation movements as well as movements around the world but are they still alive would you say in south africa and especially the ruling a.n.c. . good afternoon elizabeth i think definitely i think as we've seen the icon ism and the ideology that marx had advocated in dust up and taught in the communist manifesto was very much the foundation of liberation movements across the

continent and in particularly in sub-saharan africa and for the ruling party in the end see if you go back and look at for example the foundational document of the freedom charter it captured its a lot of what marx put together in these ideological writings about the role of capitalism the production issue and the ownership structures which if you go and look at some of the questions that we're now dealing with the inside africa around . restructuring of resources that the people shall own the the wealth of the land it's really around those those dynamics that box that put together in terms of how do you create an equitable society and an equitable distribution of resources in terms of where the role of the state is critical i think the con the challenge for us in south africa is that like many other societies we caught in a complexity do it in a dilemma in terms of one where there's a market level approach to the economic policy of the country but at the same time

it's very much aligned to the way in which production production space is defined and and constructed and then of course there's an expectation by the elected by the by the citizens of the country that the state will redistribute wealth so given the problems in the challenges and the inequalities that do exist not just in south africa or the continent but the rest of the world how do you think that marxist ideology can be useful or can be successful i mean how does it need to be adapted or has it been defeated with the dominance of capitalism. well i think it's quite an ironic statement because i think at one level we've seen. people like marx and others in like shape who have become who have been very instrumental and played a very instrumental role in the we. in the liberation movement the revolution movements in africa and elsewhere who themselves have been called modified in terms

of branding and and products but i think they still have a relevance today because what we're seeing today is not is a complexity of how capitalism as you volved and created its own sense of contradictions as well because in terms of what boxes philosophy was and how capitalism would eventually you know in conflict with the labor structures and labor would eventually revolt against capitalism i think what we're seeing today is the question of the inequality of that of what capitalism has happened in the mass produced and how that's creating conflict and tension and there's an interesting study done by i think an author called guy standing who talks about not just applauded teria which was what marx could define his his his burial his his working class around and the structure of society but also about what we see today as a precariat a precarious is a group of people who are not secure in their jobs they are basically between jobs

and as a result it creates an insecure livelihood and i think that's what we see in terms of how marx is adaptation of what you wrote as you can evolve in the context of capitalism and that is now where the real challenge and conflict lies within the state and the relationship between state and society that's not it's very good to get your thoughts on this that astonishing joining us live from cape town thank you . now zimbabwe's ruling party has launched its campaign for july's presidential election president. remains zanu p.f. candidate but party primaries earlier this week for go shop divisions seven government ministers and. it will be the first election without former leader robert mugabe. police in mexico say poor working conditions mean that they are struggling to fight crime as well and surges in the capital officials have told al-jazeera that they often have to buy their own supplies including bullets john

heilemann reports from mexico city corrupt inefficient and in some cases even in league with crime not surprisingly many mexican simply don't trust their police officers but there is another side to the story a survey of. policemen and women found that many especially at municipal level a badly paid back the basic equipment to do the job this office in one of the most violent towns in the country told us they aren't supplied with enough bullets regularly have to buy their own. it's not just alms elsewhere francisco escovedo had to retire of the damaging his spine push starting his police truck every morning he says he spent a year asking superiors for a new battery to implement and they were told me the same he says put up with it or buy one yourself ngo counselling commune who surveyed offices across the country found some police paying for uniforms car repairs and petrol all out of their own

low salaries so if you could have police that badly trained and not paid the right amount what are the implications for society in general in mexico well if you get paid like two hundred bucks a month and an irish prime consing to one thousand a month of course i'm going to take for many those few other ways to get ahead more than two thirds of police surveyed had never been promoted officer is my old ramos told us that in many cases the only way to get a step up is to pay superior officers it's called the quota but here we have intermediate positions superior positions and all costs pending on the position of the one and it's this legal of course is the legal but that's a system in mexico city the mix cross city police force toto dizzier they didn't know of any such cases although the quota isn't present in every force other

municipal policeman told us they have to pay not for promotion but to get a car will decide where they patrol they said the systematic corruption at least to some offices extorting the population to pay their own superiors which in turn leads to the mexican public distrusting the police it's a vicious cycle and it's happening just at the wrong time minutes can murder levels of the highest in two decades and the country needs a strong respected force to deal with that and those for the police who are trying to stay honest is my rameau's has twenty years experience to decorations for bravery and a master's in public security but he's been assigned the job he says of a new recruit guarding a metro station john homan how does it make scary city. california has surpassed the u.k. to become the world's fifth largest economy the u.s. state's gross domestic product rose by one hundred twenty seven billion dollars between two thousand and sixteen and two thousand and seventeen to reach two point

a bonsai craftsman and five tama and he says he listens to the voices of the trees as he put. it through my name is. a bonsai craftsman. i was a mechanic at toyota before this i had nothing to do with it until one day i visited a grower and as soon as i set foot into his place i knew instantly that i was going to quit my job and start working with. bonsai is grown in a pot but cultivating it also involves creating trees that inspire sceneries and the natural world. and. i find beauty in trees when they're healthy and full of life instead of in the shape. i used to be very ambitious and how i transform the trees some of which were the most admired and respected in japan but when i turned thirty seven i realized how much i had damaged

them and then suddenly i heard their scream saying we're alive just like you i felt strangled this experience changed me completely. i try to understand what the best conditions are for each tree and deciding on the spot what i need to do now what i shouldn't do and what can't wait. the trees taught me not to force my own a statics upon them that's why i study hard to understand how the trees the sun and the wind can best work together. i give them only moderate amounts of water and fertilizer it encourages the trees to grow the roots out. it's important to give them the strength to survive and thrive on their own. some are more than a thousand years old the junipers are around four to five hundred years old it's

astonishing but i'm equally moved by the life force of plants growing from the seeds or cuttings. the trees grow into certain shapes to thrive and i respect that what i tried to do is bring out their beauty so that more people can appreciate and take good care of them i think that's the job of a craftsman even if they're highly valued i wouldn't say that they're true bonsai unless your heart feels at peace looking at them you'd give the trees all your love and pass them on because they will outlive you by hundreds and thousands of years. and that was for the news hour thank you very much for watching. and.
