in new zealand the reserve problem of islamophobia and there is a problem of racism and we have to be mature enough to recognise that and then try and take steps to deal with it i think that we have to give closer attention to this ghastly insidious invidious problem we have to give closer attention to it i mean for instance we the new zealand human rights commission has been asking for better collection of. hate related crimes we need to know the scale of the problem and then once we have that information we need to have a comprehensive survey examination of this phenomenon in new zealand and then we need to devise on top of that an effective plan of action to deal with this sort of xenophobia extremism and i think that it's beholden on us in order to support the

a freight train has derailed in the democratic republic of congo killing ways to a hitching a ride at least thirty five mostly children died in provence police expect the casualty count to rise as bodies found in wagons which overturned a cycling that swept across southern africa has killed more than one hundred thirty people mozambique ninety percent of the central city of beara has been destroyed winds up to one hundred seventy kilometers per. hour swept away homes and bridges damaged power lines cycling travel from a long way across mozambique and into zimbabwe it's me now is michael ware who joins us with the latest from one of the hardest hit areas in central many malcolm tell us what you've seen and what kind of devastation you've witnessed. hard time began thursday evening ferocious winds and that was followed by days of
10:06 pm
torrential rain which is only just started to read off in the last few hours although it's very thing again right now that stopped almost all rescue efforts along with roads and bridges being washed away you can see some kind of damage here these trees completely blocking this road brought down the crowd lines power's off all of the affected areas as are all communication networks and as our running water as well so people are really stuck here and you can see this tree landed on a house to the side fortunately there was no one in the building but dozens of people have been killed across the country and officials are only just starting to put together a picture of how many people are killed and injured in this area hundreds of houses have been destroyed people homes are quite basic here just bricks and mud tonight and sheet until it's ready to rain the strong winds destroyed many of those around here there are dozens of families just in this small town who are sheltering in schools. we're hearing that from one city alone to bury the red cross international
10:07 pm
red cross is saying that it's ninety percent of the city has been destroyed. that's right that's based on an aerial survey that they did actually weyburn an aircraft looking at it from above because in very little access to the city so far it's a city on the coast and that's where the cyclamen came in from the indian ocean connected with land so that's where most destruction was done the last road did connect the barrier was washed away on sunday when it first said the only way in and out of there now is by and that's been restricted because the weather in the last few days to the rescue efforts only just beginning to come in and with of course no communications roads rivers roads washed away bridges and so on destroyed it's very difficult to get which you can begin any kind of humanitarian response and that presents all sorts all manner of implications does not from the potential for
10:08 pm
disease to food supplies and so on that's what i mean in this region where we are most people are subsistence farmers actually struggled with some drought in recent months then about six months worth of rainfall coming down in three or four days not destroyed a lot of people a crop so that means people here of course are going to be stuck without food and no way to get it to them in this town i spoke about are. two main roads that connect it one of them has a bridge that's been washed away the other one crosses through a river not right now completely submerged so there's almost no way to get any humanitarian assistance to this area any time soon unless it's brought in by a markham thanks very much for that update michael ware reporting there well you know just when may is the africa regions communications manager for the red cross or the red crescent and he says wide scale damage has hampered relief and rescue efforts in this is your bureau. we are continuously receiving reports in images
10:09 pm
and footage from beira from the affected areas and all we can say now is that the scale of destruction is massive we have been informed that about ninety percent of the area has been completely destroyed most of the roads have been destroyed and about two days ago one of the dance in the outskirts of a or a bust and it cut off all access to this fifty dollars a last access are valuable and prior to that paul had closed in that no flights were approved so you can see that you know accessing to people who needed help has been a challenge so we have tried to prioritize and there are system inside our own going by the us we have been some assessments already so priorities are in terms of shelter so you will remember that before the cyclon hit beira.
10:10 pm
floods and rains for both a week which had already displaced are both seventeen thousand people so even before this i clone made landfall there were must needs in terms of shelter so shelter is one of the most immediate needs people in parts of zimbabwe are also cleaning up after the cycle and i do through work is underway to please several major roadways to reach the epicenter of the storm the districts of the money money and near the border with mozambique is one of the areas reeling from cycling and is being cut off from the rest of the country and the military is helping to restore at least two vital routes more than eighty people have died in eastern and southern zimbabwe that's enough for her return so he reports from the town of chipping in southeastern zimbabwe close with mr beaty. a big problem is that a lot of the bridges and roads in the area have been cut off or destroyed by the
10:11 pm
flood waters a lot of people are stuck in the car moved so this is an alternative and people in the local community are coming together using big rocks to try and create different growth so people can pasternack says areas people have been stuck some of them for days the situation in some parts of the region like my new money for example we are told that some boarding schools have been cut or sold and they are stranded the army is trying to reach them but of course that depends on how good the weather is with the helicopter fly and reads the children who've been stranded there also hundreds of people stuck at a hotel who were able to walk the when the floods came and they sought shelter there but they need things like food blankets and clothes and they say time is running out the problem for aid workers the military anyone trying to reach people who need help is that the roads are just not possible at the moment so that really it's the are trying as much as they can to take it upon themselves to make sure
10:12 pm
that people who need to cross over and help people who are stuck are able to do that of course it's going to be a long process it's all manual as you can see even on the scenes here so who knows how long it will take these people to get the word done meanwhile people are alive up across the road in their cars because they can pass hoping and praying that this process is slow painful review process. the number of indonesians killed in flash floods and landslides in papua province has risen to at least seven doctors have set up turns to treat the wounded many people are homeless following flooding caused by drenching rain rescues are looking for survivors trapped by mud and fall into a baby found on the rubble was reunited with his father all sorts of weather happening at the moment the arctic cold has disappeared from north america. perhaps she quickly wrote yes maybe not entirely happy stories all about floods this is spring
10:13 pm
fronts come early so the temperatures across north america now already subzero who are less than just north of nebraska society go to an up into canada but it's nothing like as harsh as it was is not what you'd call an arctic cold which at least ten days ago in omaha the high temperature by day was minus two there's eighteen cent which is now in the ground and not in doubt about minus eight well as i say it's fairly quickly warmed up so ten days later march fourteenth plus sixteen by day no frost at night and all the snow has melted and i'm fraid it's also rains now you measure of a combination going to your waiting for spring thaw anyway but it's just have done little bit too quickly so in eastern nebraska or inside to care some degree and further east in iowa is now extensive flooding where they measure the height of the rivers and they do it quite often there are forty new records in south dakota and nebraska now i can't say it's all over the still a lot of snow still has disappeared because this strip is still full of it and the still some cold air is discussion which might bring down
10:14 pm
a little bit more stars of the high ground or at night even to lower ground but look at these temperatures across the u.s. in particular by day they generally speaking above freezing so what snow does for he's not going to last but the flooding you're afraid probably will make a rippling slope a second israeli has died as a result of the shooting that took place on sunday in the occupied west bank rabbi and an israeli soldier were killed in the attacks at the nupkins israeli army has made arrests in the village where the palestinian suspect lives and he says that searching for him it read the scene after a soldier was stabbed in his stolen gun used to far people outside the jewish settlement need to bring him has more from ramallah. there's a really army is still looking for a nineteen year old palestinian whom they believe has committed the attack yesterday they have raided the village of the north of the west bank and they have interrogated several members in the family including the father who was detained
