three seven max up to two facial pressure and refugee women are putting themselves at the heart of a fight for justice. leaders across southern africa have declared national disasters in the wake of cycling more than eighty people are confirmed dead in mozambique the president says that number could be as high as one thousand the storm brought down homes and trees and cut off communities then moved on to zimbabwe and malawi were caused more deaths and destruction in the middle has more from day to one of the hardest hit areas in mozambique. the situation here appears to be becoming increasingly difficult just behind us as you can see power lines are down in this particular street but that is the picture across the city there's also no communication we're using a satellite phone to communicate with people here we don't have that luxury and

that's what adding to a some of the difficulties that people here are facing so far the government has said that sixty eight people were killed during that cycle on in the days after but it's expected that figure will rise because there is there's no communication people aren't able to call for help or determine we're missing people will just also the extent of the devastation and aid agencies is that just one of the biggest challenges apart from accessing areas especially rural areas in low lying areas where floodwaters are continuing to rise apart from having difficulty in accessing those areas they simply can't determine just how bad the devastation is aid agencies that have been able to fly overhead say that the floodwaters are a very high that entire villages have been slipped away now here in barrow away the thin true hospital is that services the city of half a million people the roof of that hospital was torn torn away during that cycle own

and that hospital also is running out of medicine now the government is holding a meeting in a para at some point during the course of the day to to work out what to do with people who are also disappointed they were told to evacuate people to fly clone but the question for them was where do we go and they have a number of grievances with the government and just how it's dealing with this disaster so far and what happens next given the scale of devastation after was i'm very excited learned that in zimbabwe isolated thousands of people there mourners there in the dead as thousands wait for relief supplies communities have been digging mass graves at least ninety eight people were killed across the country and more than two hundred are missing aid agencies say several roadways have been destroyed making it hard to reach those who need help. how demitasse reports now from. days after tropical cyclone

a die struck the 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 you was expecting to see me is the last standing law in the family. in which he was i was expecting to see him talking to him but only to come in to see a board that was not all that to a careful me hilda debases she can't find her teenage stepson michael that. i think he was crushed under the house if he's dead i need to find him and bury him i need to know so i can move on with my life. there are many sad stories inch of money money four lines have been damaged and roads have been cut they say there is no way of knowing if the relatives and friends are alive people in the community say when it started raining lots of water came down from the hills over there carrying lots of rubble covering some of the houses in the area the police say

there was a bus up on the road over there it overturned fell down and was covered in mud sludge and water according to them they say at least two people are still missing there being two funerals here today two of them there from the houses there in the corner and this one here is the latest one. and government officials are still assessing the scale of the damage before the floods zimbabwe had been dealing with the drought the waters have washed what crops farmers hope to soon harvest. soldiers say it could take days if not weeks to clear the landslides they have been tasked with fixing damaged infrastructure rescuing those stranded and it treating bodies especially in village in that village we are told like this place is slow came from in the rain our. village supported the village to us in so far we are not clear.

at the rubble. but this is the place we've 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. that's why i want to other news now on the bodies of six victims of the christ church mosque attacks have been returned to their families and they say another six have been identified and will soon be released for burial autopsies have been completed on all fifteen victims in the first parliamentary session since the attacks prime minister to send ardern promised justice for the victims. he will face the full force of the law in new zealand the family use of the fallen will have justice he sought many things from his act of terror but one

was no shariah. and that is why you will never hear me mention his name he is a terrorist here's a criminal he is an extremist but he will when i speak be nameless when he has more now from christchurch. well this was a very emotional speech from the new zealand prime minister just in the first parliamentary session since the attacks that took place on friday in christ church she spent most of the time talking about the victims the family members in the wider muslim community and the need for new zealanders right around the country to show support for those communities but she also touched on a couple of key issues that she is very keen to pursue these issues that came out of the attack one of course is changing gun laws she says we'll know more about that within the next few days before the next cabinet meeting on monday and in this

speech she again touched on the issue of social media the social media companies and their responsibility she believes that they are not doing enough in the field of live streaming videos we know that the gunman of course streamed the video of his attack and now that stands by the prime minister is being backed up by big business in new zealand some of new zealand's leading companies have withdrawn advertising from facebook and now the three leading telecommunications companies have written an open letter to twitter facebook and google calling on them to do more some relief also for the families of the victims the first of the bodies have been released to the family members allowing the funerals to take place there have been some concern among some of those family members that this process was taking too long be a thorough thorough he say the process is now begun all of the autopsies on all fifty bodies have been completed and we're also hearing that the two mosques where

the attacks took place will be reopened in the next few days to the netherlands now where police are investigating the motive of the shooting on a tram that killed three people cockman thomas is in custody after police launched a manhunt in the city of tracked dutch authorities say they are still investigating a possible terrorism related marcia but other reasons haven't been ruled out including a family dispute but let's get more on this our correspondent atia butler is joining us live from the city what's the latest with the investigation of tosh. well dr police say that they are still questioning three suspects so they arrested on monday in connection with this shooting on a tram in utrecht that took place early monday now the main suspect they say is a man that they have identified as thirty seven year old. tennis now they say when thomas was born in turkey but he grew up here in the netherlands in utrecht he was arrested about three kilometers from the scene of that shooting in

a building now in terms of the most recent motivation for the attack what they are saying so far is that it's unclear that it could be perhaps a family dispute a family route but it also could be they say what they call terrorism as a motive at this stage though the investigation continues the questioning continues they can keep the suspects for two days and at the end of those two days they have to either release them or charge them. to help people and trying to fit in this morning as the city returned to normal. well the city has returned to normal you know people are going about their daily business going to work shopping and school and that sort of thing but of course it was a very different scene on monday morning local time when that shooting took place because of course this man opened fire on a tram that was packed with people a shocking situation you know some eyewitnesses described how they saw him open

fire randomly and some boys that were on that tram was smashing windows in order to try and climb out terrifying scenes and of course the city officer that was in a veritable knocked down schools and universities was shot police told people to stay indoors because there was this enormous manhunt and you know attract is one of the netherlands main cities it's famous for its you know its canals its beautiful buildings it is not a place that you would just sociate with violent gun crime so of course this is a city that on the surface is normal today but i think many people would still be incredibly shaken natasha thank you very much for that for now that's with the latest live and tracked thank you. still ahead on the bulletin a brac said limbo in the u.k. is kind to leave the us thrown into feather confusion with just ten days to go a day and they are straight in connection new zealand's debt paid mosque attack fourth of its neighbor to take a close

a no and it's empty immigration stands. hello again a welcome back or here across the southern part of the philippines we are watching a tropical depression right now making its way towards the west you can see it right there on the satellite image so do expect to see some heavy rain here on wednesday as the system makes its way across parts of the southwestern philippines and then by the time we get to thursday we're going to see some scattered showers across much of malaysia because of that same storm well across queensland australia we are watching trops like lone and that is making landfall here in queensland there it is on satellite in the system is going to go fairly slow so we do expect to see some very very heavy rain across much of that area over the next twenty four to forty eight hours actually anywhere between three hundred to five hundred millimeters could be falling in that region we watch tonight very carefully over

the next few days as we go down towards the south things looking quite nice across much of the area not a lot of rain across anywhere between melbourne up here towards sydney tempter from melbourne about twenty six in sydney a nice day for you at twenty five degrees there where the conditions across new zealand have been nice we are going to continue to see most of that continuing as we go towards midweek but we do expect to see more clouds in the forecast down here across christ church nice day on wednesday but as we go towards thursday we are expecting clouds in your forecast with attempted there of about twenty degrees on thursday. all this muslim undertakers working here is a seven days a week job that's grown with a community my father purchased a black ambulance man started to do the funerals in london and their families we saw a stopping father and daughter and we can do business partners the stories we don't often hear told by the people who the death is such

a level of. east and undertakers this is europe on al-jazeera. to have you with us on al-jazeera these are our top stories president says more than a thousand people killed by. ninety percent of the port city of beta has been destroyed or have declared emergencies there and a neighbor boy and. the bodies of six that. mosque attacks have been returned to their families the police say autopsies have been completed on all fifteen victims promising to promise that all bodies will be returned to families by

wednesday police in the netherlands are investigating the most of the shooting on a tram that killed three people bachman thomas is in custody after police launched a manhunt in the city of tricked. you say they are still investigating a possible terrorism related much. more now on the mosque attacks in new zealand the man arrested as from australia and some mainstream politicians they're being blamed for the fuelling a growing anti immigrant sentiment from mcbride reports from sydney. anti immigration protesters face off against left wing opponents at a recent street clash in melbourne. politics in australia is increasingly becoming divided and this is where the war outrageous becomes the more populist like anti immigration senator polian hunts and wearing a burka in parliament. all far right said it's a phrase anning who blamed the christchurch shootings on muslim immigration into

new zealand getting. them to pass. it. stream behavior but home affairs minister peter dutton seen as the architect of australia's controversial immigration policy has accused left wing opponents like muslim senator marine faruqi of being equally confrontational faruqi says there's a reason for dotson's accusation there have been mainstream politicians who for years have been race baiting have been dog whistling have been creating this atmosphere of us and them a division between migrants that might look like me and the rest of australia australia doesn't have the mass populist movements of your opponent the americas but there are plenty of people who hold extreme views who can contribute to a divisive and often toxic political atmosphere. prime minister scott morrison has

joined calls for the internet companies to do more to control the flow of hate filled messaging we have spoken to die about the real enemy being hatred and intolerance this is the root of all extremism and terrorism an admirable goal but the prime minister's critics say morrison's own reputation is one of dividing rather than uniting robert bright out his era sydney. britain's prime minister prime minister said to hold crisis talks with her cabinet on tuesday are to have breakfast planned suffered another setback the speaker of the lower house of parliament has ruled that theresa may can only hold a third bite of the deal to leave the e.u. if it's fundamentally different from the previous one may still has been rejected by employees twice. what the government cannot legitimately do is to resubmit to the house the same proposition or substantially the same

proposition as that of last week which was rejected by one hundred fourteen. johnson lists as deputy director of british influence that's a problem you think tank and he says a second referendum is a more likely option the longer this drags on. well you certainly derails theresa may strategy because she was desperate to to bring her deal back this week and get it through and so she could go to the european council on thursday and then ask for a short extension to the thirtieth of june which would mean that britain wouldn't have to participate in the european elections and election knew any peace which was the big sticking point for the government but now that it's from blast out of the water because to reason they cannot bring the deal back and as it goes the deal is not be renegotiated and that really just leaves her with two options no deal which parliament has already ruled out or numerous occasions or

a referendum or something that changes the situation and a referendum would be a change of circumstances and parliament would be likely to vote on it they would necessarily endorse it at this stage but that could be very still and so really just to go back to brussels and also that long extension which she hates but she has no other options all in brussels they're tearing their hair out because they can't understand what's happening in britain they don't understand why parliament isn't getting on with the brakes so that they say they want and they haven't faced up to the reality that the bricks at the perfect bricks it can never be achieved and will never be achieved and so really brought to steer on what's going to happen but now that reason they can't guarantee that because she can bring a deal back they're looking at offering a long extension it seems possibly nine months to give britain some breathing space to try and figure out what it wants to do now in terms of ratifying the deal there might be some opportunity to negotiate the non-binding section of the deal the

political declaration may need to have a single market solution for example which the government has rules out but the fundamental fact is this the withdrawal agreements the binding part of the deal which includes the backstop which everyone hates in london will not change and so if we want to get this deal through it has to change or we won't be able to break the deal through it or if they steal. kabi renegotiate says that if the government doesn't want to renegotiate its political decoration to make a softer bricks it's then the deal is out and that's the only dealer offer so that leaves two options and no deal which parliament would never endorse and which the e.u. which never in april if we didn't want it or a second referendum possibly to stop this process offering the british people the choice between a deal which m.p.'s think is a bad deal and which is very unpopular or very chaotic all fifty and remain in the e.u. now that looks unlikely now but the longer this drags on the more that could become the option that we choose to algeria now where opposition leaders are calling on

the president to step down at the end of his term next month that is both a figure has confirmed he plans to stay in power beyond the april twenty eighth deadline but if they could abandoned has bed for a fifth term after weeks of protests also postponed elections and promised reforms but hasn't given a timetable for the changes. and opposition leaders have also urged the army not to intervene in the political crisis for the army's chief of staff says the country's military should take responsibility for finding a quick solution. which you did lose amid this prevalent awareness that the homeland comes first and its security and stability are paramount i renew today the pledge i've made before god and before the people as history will judge me that the people's national army will remain in the four to five shield protecting the people in the homeland under all circumstances so the u.s. now a prosecutors are looking into how the boeing seven three seven max eight aircraft

got the going live from america's aviation regulator a subpoena for emails and other correspondence involved in the jets development has been issued by a federal grand jury investigators have found similarities between last week's question ethiopia and another in indonesia five months ago both involved seven three seven max eight planes mike hanna has more 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 at 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 if they did or didn't play in the certification process now it's significant that the subpoena was issued by the federal jury of 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 to venezuela now a presidential us model has asked his anti or cabinet to step down as he struggles to maintain control of the country has been in a power struggle with opposition leaders though for more than two months trey's about has more. the government of unequal i don't know announcing who chuckling the

whole having the vice president does you know the it's also said that the president has got the recognition of members of the cabinet and that he will start naming and giving information about who's going to be part of that cabinet when this is not given to quell any but that's not a has had at least for vice president since taking office the business community and attempt to lean on chinese administrations show the venezuelan people especially his followers of the government is trying to solve many of the problems that people in this country are facing today among them there's been an enormous power outage in venezuela for days people clear where without electricity without more from one of the things people struggling with hyperinflation shortages of food of medicine among other things and everything pellets that the situation is going to get the boys to peer past us sanctions start to have an impact in venezuela they're expected to begin the all of sanctions against this country later in april

but we're being told that it's already having an effect i'm not sure if you can see here i am in port but i can do in the state of i'm so i think he and i can count from here at least seven or else hunkered that venezuela has not be sealed with the oil said venezuela as not being able to sell anywhere like twice a week maybe the place of the united states has in the oil markets here but in apparently they're trying to send it to india and of course russia and sixty six people i'm proud of what we're being told that there's already what is known here is over compliance people that are afraid of buying venezuelan oil because of the consequences that something like this could have with the united states and angering their night in states in the meantime the opposition leader flung why you don't that said he was going around the country and trying to get people to march towards the pilot to be applauded that's where you call out my little sidestep the

presidentially palace that would be massive an enormous demonstration that's what a petition you know for why you don't is trying to do and i would certainly generate more tension in that country. russia's president is in crimea to mark the fifth anniversary of its crane and twenty four troops invaded the case on the black sea and since then that a persian has invested billions in infrastructure there despite condemnation and sanctions from the west charlie angela has more. switching the power for crimea cutting off another link to ukraine russia's president putin inaugurating two new power stations in the cities a survey asked a poll. announcing that the peninsula is now energy independent. today another important step has been taken to strengthen the energy security of the crimean peninsula and the whole south of the russian federation to develop its economy and infrastructure. this ceremony is part of

a three day festival marking the events of march two thousand and fourteen when russian troops invaded and successfully seized crimea. sealed the annexation with a referendum in which majority of crimea voted to rejoin russia a vote condemned by the west. five years later they lie in the streets to celebrate that day speaking of their happiness under the russian flag. this is my life i was born in crimea russia is everything to me russian this is why i came here to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the return to russia my motherland. but international sanctions designed to punish moscow have isolated them pushing up prices and slowing crimea is development. at the same time putin has poured billions into the region ensuring its isolation from ukraine a new bridge now links crimea to the russian mainland what

a sixty kilometer security fence snakes along an illegal border with ukraine in brussels the european council marked the anniversary with condemnation today with this informal opening of our council we are further on the lining of our european unity and our commitment to keep premier high on our collective agenda would continue to implement our non-recognition policy of the legal and exception to restate our firm belief that is ukraine. but despite the costs internationally and domestically this is a president with no regrets charlie angela out there. a female running a refugee addressed the un human rights council for the first time last week a mother katherine as part of a woman support group brought together by their trauma they began meeting in the refugee camps of cox's designed by but a stephanie decker reports they are much more than just

investigation into allegations of genocide persecution the court is now conducting a preliminary examination into the case of the it could lead to an official investigation the women are being supported by a legal and we represent them in various forums such as the international criminal court and should other accountability mechanisms arise then we will also support them in accessing justice through those forums it's difficult to comprehend what these women have been through difficult to imagine what goes through their mind. but their public message is clear they're not victims they're not refugees but human beings who deserve and demand justice stephanie decker all jazeera in cox's bazaar of southeastern bangladesh. again as a problem in doha with the headlines on al-jazeera leaders across southern africa
