we know from the public of what's happening right. now. over the years you know rewind on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. i don't know about this and this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes towns and cities now there's more rain on the way mozambique struggles with the aftermath of sight from. the first bodies of at least two families after the new zealand mosque attacks as pressure mounts on social media sites. was a boeing seven three seven max approved quickly the top u.s.

aviation authority is under investigation after two fatal crashes in five months. or hinge a refugee women are putting themselves at the heart of a fight for justice. more than one and a half million people have been affected by cycle in. southern africa on thursday mozambique was the first to get hit more than eighty people are confirmed dead with over two hundred missing president felipe in new cities says more than a thousand people may have been killed at least ninety eight people are dead in neighboring zimbabwe with two hundred seventeen missing the cycling destroyed roadways making it hard to deliver aid and the malawi officials fear at least fifty six people were killed with over five hundred others injured all three countries have declared national emergencies but one of the cities in mozambique that was the

hardest hit as beta miller is live for us their family just bring us up to speed with the situation there. rugger of the city has certainly been devastated by the cycler at the airport here we're relief organizations as well as the government have set up operations to begin helping the people who desperately need assistance and the difficulty for them is that it's hard for them to reach some of these outlying areas where much of the devastation has taken place the war area has been flooded and we've understood from the u.n. that about an area of between fifty kilometers by sixty kilometers an area is so large that they have difficulty accessing by plane has been affected by that flooding and the numbers also uncertain with regard to how many people need help we think pictures of people stranded on tiny pieces of land and the u.n. having to drop foods just biscuits to people there because they can't reach them

there's nowhere to land and that's also a big issue for relief organizations in that there isn't any dry land for them to adequately assist people at least for the time being while they have set up some accommodation camps getting people from one area to another is quite difficult a big challenge for these organizations and them saying that for now is really about to saving lives moving people from one area where they the water reaches their upper body where their heads are just above water moving them from those areas to areas where they can actually stand and i avoid drowning but to give us more perspective into what is happening on the ground we're joined by an advance from the south african relief organization gift of the givers and the just how bad is the situation in there and the problems it's really catastrophic at the moment like indicated it's almost four five days after the site owner spots in excess of floods in search and rescue that's the point we're really trying to see there's no

not much helicopters available for search and rescue missions is. sixty but fifty kilometers of water there. says it also to reach those areas we need proper helicopters rescue helicopters it can all use people but also what we find years after the hospital people hoisted from those areas there's not really certain areas we have to take the people so the challenges that are being faced used. the few people that got elected i've just been elected to higher ground or to a place where there's an open feeling there's no water so that's not really defeating and you getting the purposes these in any game set up where you can we in this affected people where they can be given help get shelter food in things where they can just stay for the moment and then you have these efforts also frustrated by the lack of electricity is a complete blackout in there and comes communication is also down just what are the challenges that you continue to think especially as we expect more rain if you

mentioned with a huge problem because we cannot just took places we don't know how many people are affected i mean from the affected area we know up to forty kilometers up yes but the other thing that more people haven't meant is no government officials or there's no such in rescue teams that went up to all of those areas villages so there's no into and there's no qualms this or we don't know what we killing with and it's quite a huge magnitude of this disaster happening at the moment i mean thank you very much for your time i'm a mom there from the gift of give us now we are expecting more rain and the issues so far is that while the initial response was to do with cyclon and perhaps one hundred twenty thousand people just in one area think that they continue concern around the flooding that is affecting the area floodwaters coming across from zimbabwe into mozambique and as that we've just heard that search and rescue is the priority but it is the days following that cyclon and agencies here are concerned

about just the compasses what they're able to do in a quick amount of time from a thanks very much indeed well we've got another team that's been monitoring the situation in mozambique michael ware was reporting from . when ferocious winds ripped the roof tollways house she was terrified she ran outside into the to wrench will reign with her children just before it collapsed. we were very afraid we were panicking but there was nothing else to do except move outside now i have nothing i don't even have money to build a new house somewhere. she is among dozens of families who are now sheltering in school here in the town of. mozambique they've been homeless since cycling the die swept across the country after reaching mozambique's coast on thursday many villages and now completely cut off. this community has been

particularly hard hit the two houses destroyed here another one clapped in the middle of the storm the family that were living here so the iron sheets that were on the roof and they propped them up against their only remaining huts to try and keep out the rain and the neighbor's house completely destroyed as well it's very difficult for the authorities to know how many people have been affected like this because roads and bridges have been washed away and many of these places and i'll very difficult to reach. our journey here through the storm from neighboring zimbabwe wasn't easy is being affected to dozens of died there just like lame brought six months of rain just four days many rivers burst their banks. and blocked roads make it difficult to bring help. hearing them takes time

you know. the local administrator told us that assessing the damage and rescue efforts have barely begun the district's connected to the rest of the country by only two roads. was found on one side the bridge has been washed away and on the other side the road has also washed away so it's like we are on an island we have a big problem because now we can even get basic goods like rice and cooking oil. this terrier says she has enough food to give her children one or two more meals along with the dozens of families here and there are no number across the country she has no idea how she's going to survive. malcolm webb al-jazeera. mozambique well as we mentioned at the top of the program the cyclon has also bought a design of isolating thousands of people mourners of burying the dead as thousands more wait for relief supplies communities have been begun digging mass graves at

least ninety eight people have died throughout the country and more than two hundred still missing aid agencies say several vital roadways have been destroyed making it hard to reach those needing help a meteorologist having called it was joining me now from what i was telling is that one of the biggest problems they're facing in mozambique is simply finding dry land to air drop supplies what's the weather condition going to be for the next few days any chance of that well we are looking at let's go back this is the rainy season the storm has already cause so much rain across the region now we are looking at the storm dissipating and we're looking at the remnants but there the rainy season is going to continue of the next few days now there is going to be a break in the area i want to show you that in just a few moments but i want to take you back to the beginning where the storm actually caused so much of the problem in the northern part of mozambique as well as into malawi let's take a look at the history of the track when it made landfall here across into parts of malawi cousins very heavy rain and flooding across that region going back into the mozambique channel and then making landfall here just last thursday. i want to show

you what we are looking at in terms of the rain over the last twenty four to forty eight hours now we were talking about the disposition of the storm it came from a high category two equivalent hurricane storm down to a tropical storm down to a tropical depression as the remnants were really entering across this area now we're talking about mostly in this area we're talking about what we're seeing with the storm in terms of the rain as a tropical tropical system i want to put this into motion for you but have you have a problem with this system here there we go one more time then we come into landfall. now i want to show you the satellite with the storm system as we are looking at it for the use of motion there we go finally the system working putting this into motion we are seeing the remnants of the storm system still in the area and really affecting that northern area so of the next two days we're going to be seeing the rain continue across be era but what you're going to be noticing as we

go from today as well as it's tomorrow a lot of that rain begins to make its way up here towards the north that is the good news as we go through midweek and also into late week across this region beer will finally start to see a little bit of a break but in terms of the rain over the next few days we expect to see anywhere between another one hundred to two hundred millimeters of rain across this area for be era up to the north though it could be anywhere between two hundred to two hundred fifty millimeters of rain across much of that region so that is going to continue the flooding across much of that region back to you evan thanks very much indeed in new zealand the bodies of some victims of the christ church mosque attacks have been returned to their families the prime minister is promising justice for the fifty people who died to send our don has made the violin an emotional speech during the first parliamentary session since the mass shooting when his reporting from christchurch after friday's attack in christchurch this

sitting of parliament was not about politics in a rare move the floor of the debating chamber was given over to people from outside parliament they were religious leaders who came together to offer condolences and prayers for the victims. we ask you to grant patience and hope to all the family members affected by this tragedy. we asked you to protect new zealand and the whole was from such calamities i mean in an emotional speech the prime minister urged new zealanders to support the muslim community of memory and she spoke of the man alleged to have inflicted so much pain on that community but refused to speak his name he saw 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 he is a criminal he is an extremist but he will when i speak be nameless and to others i implore you speak the names of those who were lost rather than the name of the man who took them. he may have so. that we and new zealand will give him nothing. the l nor mosque where the first attack took place is still cordoned off a forensic examination is coming to an end and the focus is turning to cleaning before worshipers are allowed back in there's been some frustration expressed by family members of those killed about delays and having bodies returned for burial but that process is now under way and for now the area behind the cordon remains a crime scene but it's believed that in the next few days both mosques will reopen that will be a difficult time for people like. who came to new zealand from south africa twelve years ago he used to pray at the el nor mosque but at the moment this is as close

as he can get all of the people in the most state and prays this. welcome guest to new zealand and most of them so there's a lot of places all for us to eat. so it's. that's an emotion that will be around for a long time yet as the people here struggle to come to terms with the terror that came to this city. joining us live from christchurch now when first of all give us some more information if you can about these bodies that are being released back to the families. yes rob well the new zealand prime minister just. in christchurch on wednesday again i'm sure she will face more tough questions about this apparent slow process to begin returning the bodies to the families of the victims the latest from the police is that six bodies have now been returned to the family members and only twelve have been formally identified to the

satisfaction of the coroner so that means another six are ready to be sent back to the families but so it is only six so we expect the funerals to begin on wednesday as well all fifty bodies are in the hospital they have been through the post-mortem process but as i say only twelve according to the police have been formally identified to the coroner's satisfaction so when the prime minister. said today that she hoped all this would be completed by wednesday it seems there is still a long way to go and that target would appear to be quite unlikely the police are saying we understand the frustrations we understand the concerns of the family members but it simply has to be this way because it's a complex investigation and it's something that they just have to get right on another note we are hearing some good news for some of the people who were injured the mourners who used to pray at the two mosques that were attacked on friday and

they should be open within the next few days we're hearing that the lynwood mosque may reopen at ten o'clock wednesday morning local time the al nor mosque the first mosque to be attacked on friday which is a few hundred meters behind me may reopen for prayers on friday when of course one of the control of this attack crews the live streaming of the video of the kid on social media i understand that there's a certain amount of pressure now being increased on social media companies to try to prevent this kind of thing. yes will just endure a good day and again was very critical pretty much straight away after the attacks because the gunman live streamed this attack on facebook that we shared many times around the world and the prime minister rightly said that this wasn't good enough and that the social media companies in particular facebook needed to do more and she alluded to that again in the speech in parliament on tuesday that has been backed up now by big business in new zealand what have several of new zealand's

leading private companies withdraw their advertising money from facebook and now we have an open letter that has been signed by the management of new zealand's three leading telecommunications companies mobile phone companies to the management of twitter facebook and google saying they need to do something they're calling for action in this open letter and saying that they need to urgently find solutions to this problem of videos like the one that was live streamed on friday by the alleged gunman being uploaded on to the social media sites saying that this cannot go on and they are calling for action from these companies so it seems both the government at the very top with the prime minister now backed up by the leading businesses in new zealand are really stepping up the pressure on these social media companies were in very very much indeed. more ahead on the news including medical students and doctors are the latest to join the fray protesting against algerian

president with a fleet. brags it's limbo the u.k. has plans to leave the e.u. are thrown into further confusion with just ten days to go and in sports the san antonio spurs take down the reigning n.b.a. champions details coming up. in the u.s. and looking into how the boeing seven three seven max eight aircraft got the green light from america's aviation regulator a subpoena for e-mails and other converse once involved in the jets development has been issued by a federal grand jury investigators have found similarities between last week's crash in ethiopia and another in indonesia five months ago both involved seventy seven planes my comments get 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 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. britain's prime minister recently is holding crisis talks with her cabinet after her brags it plans suffered yet another setback the speaker of the lower house of parliament has ruled that she can only hold a third vote on a deal to leave the e.u. if it's fundamentally different from before may's deal has been rejected by m.p.'s twice and the speaker john boehner says he will not allow another vote unless substantial changes made lawrence leave his life for us and long in london lawrence what is the significance of this ruling.

well it's not so it creates an absolute flood crisis for the government rob be honest because as you said to theresa may having lost the votes on her deal so you can leave the european union twice by very large margins strategy had been to keep bringing it back to parliament with bricks it's supposed to be only ten days away or so on the assumption that the hardline woods effectively folds because otherwise you get a long delay and potentially no bricks it's old but the speaker who is the man who decides what's gets to be debated and what gets to be voted on said last night that she can't keep bringing the same vote back unless there's a material change to the circumstances in which the vote is held and so in the end it now leaves the government absolutely stuck they that they simply don't know what to do then there is one conversation about what they just ignore it and try and have another votes potentially tomorrow before the european union meets or potentially come back for a final vote next week which should be a do you want

a long extension or do you want no deal or to all sorts of vote but that assumes that the speaker would then allow that to happen as well and that's not clear either so so for the time being the government has absolutely now lost its way and probably is now at the whim of the european union as to what length of delay it is prepared to offer if i understand it correctly the euro ministers from both france and germany have been speaking this morning do we have any sense of how the e.u. how the european ministers are going to be reacting to this latest development. well i mean that beyond frustration now that you know this that that that the thing about the european union is that for a start it's got to decide whether actually wants the u.k. to still be a member you know it's a bit like as i've said before if you're in the european commission the european council it's a bit like being at a playground and you're a teacher you got twenty eight kids the members of the your opinion it more or less all behave in the same way the needle was in the u.k.

they keep setting fire to the dustbins to get some attention and you know that they are that they are so frustrated at the lack of progress but again it's that they don't want no deal because it would be massively destructive to them in so it looks like they will probably offer a long delay but it has to be on the assumption of the u.k. comes up with a different plan and there is an enormous trust deficit now between the e.u. and the u.k. because they don't trust the u.k. to have some sort of alternative strategy and that is in the end of biggest takeaway from this it's you know you can hear m.p.'s here saying we've become a global joke now that the reputational damage to the u.k. through all of this is absolutely enormous lawrence thanks very much indeed my medical students and doctors in algeria are protesting the president's plan to stay in power beyond the end of his term in the capital algiers they've been chanting but what a free democracy and that the military people are brothers as he's beautifully called wants to stay in power beyond able to twenty eighth when his fourth term is

due to expire after weeks of protests but the think has postponed elections and promised reforms but he hasn't given a timetable for the changes however algerian opposition leaders have bowed to the army not to interfere in the political crisis instead the chief of staff of the army says the country's military should take responsibility for finding a quick solution. we had a new amid this privileged awareness that the homeland comes first and that 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 the fortified shield protecting the people and the homeland under all circumstances. one hundred dollars more. antigovernment protests in algeria continue to spread oil and gas field workers in the far south of the country the latest to join the outcry workers in-house at

a mill which is obvious largest gas field are echoing calls nationwide for president of the us is beautifully to resign managers of the state energy films on a truck say production is unaffected algeria boss the world's fifth largest reserves of natural gas but with a flick us critics say after twenty years of his presidency the energy wealth is reaching few are judeans than ever before and employment and the cost of living are rising and they say the political atmosphere is choking the economy due to the decades long grueling of a corrupt elite backed by our jury as military friday saw the biggest rallies ever in the capital of gere's. other major cities. and the revolt has spread to expire three years in former colonial power from us they were out in force in paris for the third consecutive sunday on an armada of you

david if you it tired of all people since nine hundred sixty two we've always been with old people leave the place to the young get out of the way the system is clear make way for the young the ailing eighty two year old president of the as his would have relinquished his bid for a fifth term following weeks of under arrest but his decision to postpone the presidential election should yield for april eighteenth has provoked more widespread anger which of libya has appointed a new prime minister nouri in bed weak and a deputy in talks to form a cabinet mostly of technocrats but the prime minister is receiving little support from protesters who say they don't trust any politicians linked to it with a flicker of god. a few members of parliament including some from the ruling evident party have resigned in support of the protests no not for. sure we refused to participate in the upcoming cabinet because we believe that such cabinet should

only result from a national conference in a transparent national popular dialogue that people have taken to the streets to bring about real change and make sure that none of the same people who have been ruling us continue in power. even the staunchest supporters of change in algeria seem to realize a listing the military from their influence on politics may be impossible instead protesters hope for younger leaders who will be less corrupt more democratic and more astable to the rule of law even if supported by the generals got on top of stability how much fun a disease. in a couple of minutes we're going to have the weather but still ahead on al jazeera dutch police arrest a man after three people are killed on a trial but there's still confusion over the exact motive of the attack. journalists are feeling the pressure up to new tactics imposed by the government in india that most of kashmir. and in sports you know messi has ended his international exile fata is going to be here with that story.

well earlier you updated you on mozambique i want to update you on what is happening here in queensland we do have a tropical cyclone that is making landfall right now as we speak here on the north coast of queensland this is trouble cycle and trevor and it is a very powerful cyclone it's equivalent to a category three hurricane if it was in the atlantic winds right now making landfall hundred eighty five kilometers per hour gusting to thirty one moving to the west at seven kilometers per hour so it's not a very fast moving storm and that is going to be the problem over the next few days as it crosses the cape york peninsula i want to show you what we can expect to see we are going to be seeing the worst of the storm on the southern side just like we did see in mozambique here in the hemisphere the southern side of the storm is

always the worst side of the storm bringing very heavy rain across much of the area as we go towards thursday the storm is going to be crossing making its way across towards the gulf of carpentaria one. cyd enters back into the gulf area on thursday we do expect it to be a tropical storm the amount of rain with the storm is going to be quite heavy with this area across much of the region three hundred to five hundred millimeters of rain could be expected over the next three days so we do expect to see extensive flooding over the region. whether sponsored by cancer is. the latest news as it breaks if the e.u. wants to avoid money laundering for the financing of terrorism it has to be ready to displease governments including saudi arabia with details coverage lynching such injuries were known to take place in the past but they were rare now thirty six cases have been reported since two thousand and fifteen from around the world for

some mainstream politicians are being blamed for further fueling the growing anti immigrant sentiment robin bribe 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 more outrageous becomes the more populist like anti immigration senator polian hansen wearing a burka in parliament. or far right senator fraser and ing who claim the christ church shootings on muslim immigration into new zealand getting egg. then getting back. extreme 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 for ruki 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 europe or 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

followed while residents were urged to stay inside their homes schools were closed and security was increased around mosques as heavily armed police and counterterrorism units raided several buildings in the area. a photograph of the suspect shooter was released on social media by police event if i came as a thirty seven year old man born in turkey early reports by authorities pointed to a possible terrorism motive but later added that other factors could have been behind to killers action. what has happened today before going into deeper research the first indications of the facts the statements that have been made in the tracy that have been found leaders to take into account the terrorist much of a sion the dutch prime minister mark speaking after to suspect was arrested said there was still some confusion about his motives but acknowledged he was known to its origins. there are many questions in rumors it is still unclear what the

motives are behind this attack now predominantly there's a sense of horror and disbelief which prevails over the terrible events of today that innocent people have been taken away from their relatives in this way. this shooting on the country's busy public transport has shocked people in the netherlands who are on a custom to fight crime or gun murder. forensic teams are working through the night to uncover what really happened here. is here at the island's. journalists in indian administered kashmir are often the first casualties when they try to report from one of the world's most militarized regions and newspapers are under more pressure the indian government has stopped advertising into kashmiri dailies taking away a vital source of revenue so how raman reports from new delhi. the job of a journalist and bashir is not an easy one there are many protests to report on protests often aimed at the central government to new delhi or the security forces

photojournalists a cherry knows not everyone will be happy with the work he produces. on the government's side on the security forces side and unfortunately. from the people side from the. many places to go to you know situations whatever we see. moving around this highly militarized region is no mean feat there are security checkpoints at regular intervals and patrols by heavily armed soldiers stop and search is a regular occurrence for everyone including journalists thanks and documenting the region's news has become even more difficult this month the government withdrew advertising from two major kashmiri newspapers it didn't give a reason but such a move is being seen by journalists as a warning from new delhi to toe the government line or face closure as much as fifty percent of newspaper revenue comes from government advertisements and

announcements and that goes a long way towards paying the wages of the journalists and others who work for the newspapers it has been happening for a long time we had two thousand sixteen it's. edition media was banned for three months and then it was stated it was banned but that time there is a formal log. newspaper editors hit back predict blank front pages to illustrate the pressure they feel is big placed on the by new delhi. assets rights for a local magazine but he's been detained did accused of harboring rebels his family hasn't seen it since last august. he is innocent even police know that he is innocent despite that they charged him this is what happens on a news story you can imagine what does a common man go through here who will save them his work was to report what about the freedom of press freedom of speech and freedom of expression the press council

of india has sought clarification on what appears to be an informal ban of government advertising in kashmiri newspapers it's happened before but it seems more serious now according to analysts in the light of the attack on military personnel in pole warmer it also raises a much larger question of freedom of the press across india and how far journalists are willing to go before falling foul of the government so rahman is there a new delhi a court in russia's chechnya region has sentenced a human rights activist to four years in prison for illegal drugs possession. was stopped by police in january they say he discovered marijuana in his car that you have as the head of a moscow based human rights group that's been critical of chechen police as supporters describe the case as politically motivated the world health organization says progress is being made in the fight against the a ball outbreak in democratic republic of congo health workers predict the virus

may be fully contained by september but recent gains are being undermined by attacks on health facilities or the reports. feable al break is just one of several problems facing the democratic republic of congo treatment facilities have been targeted in recent weeks adding fear to a community that's already on high alert violence from armed groups is posing another risk for patients and health care workers so there is a need for to strike a balance between what we do in terms of security protection but at the same time staying with the community to fight earlier this month a treatment center in the city of baton bo was attacked twice within days soldiers carried one of the suspects away from the scene of a health care worker was wounded a police officer killed more than one hundred armed groups are reportedly active in

eastern d r c teams on the ground believed two of them may be behind the attacks these are analysts include the allied to credit forces as well as my like groups believe us a break in the republic was detected in the keeble province in august of last year government data shows more than nine hundred confirmed or probable causes of a bola in the last seven months almost six hundred people have died despite the challenges the world health organization remains optimistic the virus has been contained in eleven of twenty eight affected communities the number of reported cases is also dropping in generally that we have fifty cases per week now we have an average of twenty five cases per week so there is a decline but health care workers know that attacks on treatment facilities remain a constant threat and one that could reverse the progress that's been made in

tackling the disease carthy a locus for the young al-jazeera. venezuela's president nicolas maduro has asked his entire cabinet to step down as he struggles to maintain control of the country it's been facing pressure from opposition they don't want to go for more than two months quite zero declared himself of venezuela's interim president in january that is a bow as 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 had kept the rest of nation of members of the cabinet and that he was card 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 but this is clearly an attempt to lean on cheap administration show the venezuelan people especially his followers of the government is trying to solve many of the problems that people in
