seen anything like it the city is devastated eight organizations a calling the off to match that is the devastation the destruction caused by the psych loan horrifying the biggest challenge for many of these will going to aid organizations is that they're unable to access or rather the extent of the devastation floodwaters continue to rise especially after a dam bust in the last a day trees have been knocked on this billion area in the city where trees haven't been uprooted power lines knocked down and many homes destroyed now aid organizations that have a rived in barrow in the last day or two and that's only after the airport was reopened after it was closed say they have a mammoth tosca ahead of them and the effects of the psych load on short term

rebuilding the city helping the people affected is going to take a lot of time one of the most a big storm bites and zimbabwe isolates in so that people least ninety eight who died arguments are as the. days after tropical cyclone a die struck zimbabwe families are coming to terms with what they've lost morgan was eighty three years old he was sleeping when a torrent of water washed away his home was expecting to see me is the last stand in the family but. it was i was expecting to see him talking to him but only to come in here bored it was not all that too careful me hilda debases she can't find her teenage stepson muscle mass. and i think he was crushed under the house if he stayed and had to find her and bury him i need to know so i can move on with my life there are many sad stories in she money money four lines have been

place is slayed came from in the rain across the village in separate parts. so far we are not clear. how many houses actually were. but this is the place we have recovered so far up to forty bodies the sighting of a military helicopter provide at least hope that some help is coming food has begun arriving for a few the rest of the aid is slowly making its way by road there is no way of knowing how long it will take them to reach those still cut off by floodwaters al-jazeera. to new zealand where the prime minister has paid tribute in parliament to the fifty people killed in the christ church mosque attacks you see in there are the passionate address in the first parliamentary session since friday's my shooting she is promising justice for the families grieving for their loved ones he

will face the full force of the war in new zealand the families of the four will have justice he so many things from his act of terror but one was no shariah. and this is why you will never hear me mention his name. he is a terrorist he is a criminal he is an extremist but he well when i speak be nameless. let's join in christ church and when interesting what's the promise was that saying that the perpetrator will remain nameless depriving him i guess of the oxygen a publicist. yes exactly she's being very strong on there that his motives what he appears to stand for and not welcomed in new zealand saying that this is not what you zealand's was about it was a very strong passionate speech by the prime minister in parliament this was the

first time that parliament had convened since the attack on friday and it was a multi religious affair normally not on members of parliament are not permitted all need to beijing for this time they invite to dinner religiously does the session was opened with a prayer in arabic and then we had the speech from the prime minister she spent most of the time or a lot of the time anyway talking about understandably the victims the family members of the victims of this attack but she also spoke about a couple of issues that clearly she is very passionate about continuing to push following this attack one of them social media the only suspect in this attack a live stream to the attack on facebook and that is something she says that the social media companies need to do more to combat she says they're clearly not doing enough and on tuesday she spoke about it again saying that they cannot keep continuing to reap the financial rewards while not taking enough of the

responsibility for things like this and also gun control we saw the first cabinet meeting since the attack take place on monday monday and she says in that cabinet meeting they all agree there will be law changes to the gun laws we don't know exactly what those changes will be she says the public will know within the next seven days and weigh in time moves on live. to a degree how are people. yes well i think there's been attempts at the start of the working in school week to encourage people in the city in this region really to at least attempt to try to move on with their lives but of course that's easier said than done it's going to be difficult before this community really returns to normal and we are still seeing in a stream of people coming to locations like this this is the police cordon further down the road there is the el nor mosque which at the moment is still

a crime scene it is still cordoned off that is where the first of the attacks took place where most of the people were killed and there's just a constant stream as a say of people coming here throughout the day even though it's a working in school day they're coming here too often just stand in silence and have a prayer offer their condolences to the victims and their families leave flowers behind maybe some good news for would ship is that the two mosques we believe that the lynwood mosque may be opens on wednesday and the elnora mosque behind me may be reopened on friday prayers only at this stage but certainly those would be significant steps if they had to happen indeed they would or it were in thanks very much indeed when he reported for christ church well in his speech to parliament the promise to pay special tribute to one victim. under thomas visit his family to hear about the father and grandfather very last. it was thirty six years ago but haji

the international arms trade treaty a treaty that it was a champion of not so long ago in a drive to continue selling these arms five billion pounds worth of arms since the onset of the conflict that is seven times as much is being spent on aid in the man the random nature of the saudi led attacks on yemen the heavy civilian casualties have prompted several european countries to suspend arms sales to riyadh every week more and more evidence arrives suggesting a blaring of the lines between military and nonmilitary targets her. there was a strike on the house and they told us to go inside because they're asked strikes we ran into the fields to disappear then the plane bombed dissin as we got there four women and four girls died and the only one left from those who were with me. the argument from britain amplified by the american government is that freezing

arms sales would open the door to either russia or china stepping in and campaign is against the arms trade argue that that is effectively the same as saying the whole thing is a business opportunity as with everything in the u.k. at the moment brics it's plays a policy in all this as well just the other day the government minister in charge of international trade was celebrating a continuation of trading relationships between the u.k. and papua new guinea if that's anything to go by than you'd have to assume that the arms trade with saudi arabia is going to be a very. quarter components of life in post bricks in britain. the al-jazeera in central london. prosecutors in the united states are looking into how the boeing seven three seven max eight aircraft got the green light from the country's aviation regulator a subpoena for emails and other correspondence involved in the jet's development has been issued by a federal grand jury investigators have found similarities between last week's crash in ethiopia and the air disaster in five months ago both involve seven three

seven max eight planes mike hanna has more now from washington d.c. . well the justice department investigation is virtually unprecedented in fact there's only been one occasion before in u.s. aviation history where this type of criminal proceeding has been launched in the wake of an accident now what the justice department is looking at in particular is the certification process of these boeing seven three seven maxes and the role that the federal aviation authority the f.a.a. did or didn't play in the certification process now it's significant that the subpoena was issued by the federal jury and the day after the crash in ethiopia however this was a coincidence the investigation had been ongoing it's taken since that particular day for news of the investigation to emerge boeing's chief executive

officer has issued a statement on these accidents saying only that boeing remains committed to safety it is carrying out its own investigations but he does not address the issue of a justice department investigation an investigation that will not only look at boeing's procedures but is also likely to look at the relationship between the federal aviation authority and boeing with regard to these safety procedures it is president donald trump has been taken to court for allegedly violates in the u.s. constitution a hotel owned by him is at the center of the legal row because it's a story. u.s. presidents get a lot of gifts what many people don't know is they don't get to keep them these expensive tokens belong to the u.s. government. in part because of this the founders were so worried about foreign influence on presidents they put this prohibition into the first article of the constitution basically saying the executive can't accept any president amalia mint

office or title of any kind whatever from any king prince or foreign state unless congress approves it the moment is basically a payment but in a lawsuit the top lawyers from maryland in washington d.c. say that is exactly what trump is doing when foreign leaders stay in his washington d.c. hotel we know that foreign governments are spending money there in order to curry favor with the president of the united states just one example the kingdom of saudi arabia whose government has important business and policy before the president the united states has already spent hundreds of thousands of dollars at the trump international hotel three billion dollars the washington post reported lobbyists for the saudi government paid for an estimated five hundred nights in his d.c. hotel just after the election these marble and gold clad rooms are not cheap they range from around five hundred dollars a night to as much as ten thousand so how much did saudi arabia or any other

country spend we don't know the hotel doesn't have to report that but the trump business says it's giving foreign profits to the u.s. treasury so far more than two hundred fifty thousand dollars the problem is we don't know if that is the full amount a judge had ruled that lawyers in maryland and d.c. can subpoena those records to find out if the president is violating the constitution on tuesday an appeals court will decide if the case can proceed if so it would mean even more problems for president over ready surrounded by investigations. al-jazeera washington. the police say they've arrested a man suspected of shooting dead three people on a tram in the netherlands when thomas is now in custody after police launched a mon hunt to find him in the city of detroit several others were injured in the shooting some of them seriously dutch authorities say they're still investigating a possible terrorism related motive but other reasons have not been ruled out

including the family dispute to look up lack of law democracy is stronger than fanaticism and violence we will not give in to tolerance never. listen this update from the scene well dodge police have confirmed the arrest of this thirty seven year old man that they have identified as common tanis they had put out a picture of him earlier in the day standing on the tram in question now what they say is that he is turkish for they haven't said whether or not he is a dutch national but he was known to police for things in the past such as alleged assault now in terms of his motivation while it remains unclear they say that this could be the result of a family drama or dispute and if that's the case it would certainly tally what with the information that came out from the turkish news agency earlier in the day they had interviewed some relatives who said that this was most likely

a family dispute now they're not ruling out the dutch police of course not ruling out the what they also call perhaps a terrorism related motivation well in terms of the city it was at ten forty five in the morning local time when the shooting broke out in a city that was really thrown into the grips of fear many people were extremely worried as this enormous manhunt took place it's a city that is popular with students it's famous for its canals its beautiful mediæval architecture of course it is not a city though which is used to a violent crime. the chief of police in the french capital has been fired following the latest yellow vest protests and the government says it will shut down further demonstrations if there's a repeat of the writing on saturday police run sites and burned shops and on the shelves of these in paris a yellow vest protest began four months ago after president micro introduced a fuel tax increase that rise was scrapped but the demonstrations have continued

of scase i think the best way to understand the circumstances of his arrest is to read a fencing novel about unicorns fairy dust and pixies because that's that's the degree of reality that you'll see in the evidence that's been concocted against the d.f. was investigating cases of torture and extrajudicial killings at the time of his arrest he had continued to work after his predecessor natalee. was murdered ten years ago. this is not about the verdict but about the u.s. criminal prosecution about the fact that the drugs were planted and that it was impossible to prove his innocence after the drugs were planted in his car drugs were also planted in our office this means that they're ready to use any possible measures against independent human rights defender. while prosecutors had asked for four year prison sentence the judge decided that ditty if conserve his time in

a so-called colony settlement which will give him some freedom i have to fear first of all this trial and you. see and this present sentence is seen as a strong message to human rights defenders to stay away from chechnya marking a new phase in the crackdown by chechen against. chechens leader idea of has announced that after the trial human rights defenders will be no longer welcome here raising serious concerns about an increase of abuses in a region that has come under international scrutiny for its poor human rights record already step fasten al-jazeera chechnya russia's president is in crimea celebrating the fifth anniversary of its sation from ukraine in two thousand and fourteen russian troops invaded the key strategic peninsula on the black sea and since then putin has invested billions in infrastructure despite condemnation and sanctions imposed by the west. has more. switching
