national emergencies markham way of recourse now from. central mozambique. divine this little people get in some places as a courtesy when others they were ordered to evacuate. a lot of people didn't know the people weren't able to follow it up because of course a lot of people around here don't have many resources to to relocate when something like a cycling comes the moment we haven't heard any further warnings but it's reasonable rain of course is only going to make things more difficult here one of the worst affected regions right now is the boozy district which is towards the coast the cyclon hit the coastal city of taylor but the province just eleven of there now suffering very bad floods a lot of the rain that fell here following a spike songs now rushed through the country into that area and in that place and the people stuck on the roofs of houses also stuck in trees awaiting rescue by helicopters if it's available mozambique does have some assistance from neighboring

south africa which has bought into military and humanitarian assistance an evolutionary of fifty square kilometers in that district is completely submerged in water a lot of people waiting for some kind of help. and alistair sami tim miller is in beirut it's more than big fourth largest city and the red cross says ninety percent government has been destroyed. 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's 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 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 will determine where missing people are all

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 an aid agencies that have been able to fly overhead say that the floodwaters are of very high that entire villages have been slipped away now here in bear away the central 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 before the strike loan 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 as you mentioned psycho need diet has also battered zimbabwe thousands of people are isolated in more than two hundred missing while the search continues for the insanity members. bearing the victims of the floods aid agencies say continuing rains are hampering relief and rescue efforts in other world news in new zealand the bodies of six 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 just into our journey made the vaal in an emotional speech during the first parliamentary session since the mass shooting when harry for some 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 or lot we ask you to protect new zealand and the whole was from such calamities i mean in an emotional speech the prime minister new zealand is to support the muslim community 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 a name of the man who took them he may have sought not sure i see but we in new zealand will give him nothing. the el 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 wood ship is are allowed back and 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 underway and 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. welcome guest to new zealand

and most of them so there's a lot of places all. so it's fair to say. 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 wayne hay al jazeera christchurch. the u.k. prime minister teresa mayes reportedly preparing to write e.u. leaders requesting a short and long delay. on suffered another setback the speaker of the nor house of the british parliament role that she can only hold a third vote on her deal to leave the e.u. if it's fundamentally different from before has already been rejected twice by m.p.'s and speaker john boehner says he won't allow another vote unless substantial changes are made the european commission says may must inform them about the next steps by thursday as it was in brussels for us way european ministers are meeting

today doesn't seem like there's a plan or a strategy from the u.k. what's the reaction from the e.u. leaders who are meeting in brussels. well just about. an hour ago or so we heard from michele baron he was the e.u. chief negotiator and he basically said very bluntly that there is no genuine uncertainty in europe at the moment and he doesn't know where this is going to go he said that the e.u. . seem to understand that the e.u. so far hasn't received an official request from terrorism a for any kind of extension whether short or long but he also said that they want if the e.u. would accept or agree to such an extension they need to first know clearly what it was for what purpose that extension would be and what could change once you grant that extension let's just listen to what he had to say really you can request an

extension because it wants a bit more time to look the political ticker ration they didn't record the despite ecological aeration we sets out a framework for the world through tradition good be made more ambitious in the coming days you for majority. of comments so we shoes if not what would be to propose an outcome of an extension and how can be sure that at the end of the possible extension we are not back in the same situation as today. well there you heard it and then you on the other side you have the speaker of the house of commons who said that the reason many could not show up again asking for a vote on the same exact agreement now some would argue that even asking for an

extension would be somehow a change in the agreement you could ask a vote over that change but here i ve you this situation is let's wait to see you hear from tourism a word what's her plan what she has on the table and how any kind of the way can change anything meanwhile we are preparing for a new deal for the brics it does mean a hard bricks in on march twenty ninth thank you for that whole job to have me reporting live from brussels still ahead on al-jazeera we find out why a growing number of people in need to me are following the anti vaccine train then we hear from those who say it's putting lives at risk plus dutch police are trying to figure out why and man shot three people dead on a tram terrorism has not been brought down.

clouds out here towards the west we do expect to see maybe some rain in the forecast over the next few days but for baghdad it is going to be a nice day at twenty four degrees but kuo a little bit cooler for you appear cross the caspian with a temperature of eleven but plenty of sun in the forecast for today ron we do see the rain pushing out but a temperature few of twelve degrees. and africa's technological and be sent into an awful us and group over to live side by side. in its. life ups challenges kenya up developers to help small scale flawless cultivate a new future but can mobile phones really be the seed of change introspection please because it's a really bold people to live out silicon savannah for knowledge and see and.

they're watching live from doha to remind our top stories mozambique's president says more than a thousand people may have been killed by side go and die officials have declared emergencies stare and in a brain as in bob and. in new zealand the bodies of six victims of the christchurch mosque have been returned to their families prime minister. promises suspect gunmen will face the full force of. the u.k.'s prime minister teresa mayes reportedly preparing to write e.u. leaders requesting a short and long delay after. the north house of british parliament

that she can only hold a vote on her deal to leave the e.u. fundamentally different from before. brazil's president of also narrow is in the u.s. where he's meeting with president donald trump as well it's narrows first foreign trip since taking office the two leaders are expected to discuss a range of issues including the political crisis in venezuela both leaders are fierce critics of president nicolas maduro alan fischer is live at the white house for is so alan the south american trump and the man himself and finally met politic on. well the trump of the tropics as many people have called him get finally gets to meet the man he modeled a lot of his election campaign on the two of them sat in the oval office donald trump answered a few questions about his relationship with brazil but the media were more obsessed with some domestic stories that are ongoing at the moment certainly we know that the two men get on very well also not always says that he is the first pro american

brazilian president in a number of years he's praised donald trump that never goes down badly or donald trump as a c. took a few pages out of the donald trump playbook for his election campaign he talks a lot on twitter he talks about complex issues but how he has simple solutions he attacks the elite he talks about how he's going to work for the common man all of these things resonate very heavily with donald trump no they're going to talk about venezuela that's obviously one of the key issues that they will be discussing we know that donald trump has again said just in the last hour all options are on the table he's been asked in the past of that includes military options he said all options are on the table therefore he would be very keen to have an ally such as brazil which is right next door to venezuela and also shares a very long border there if there was to be any possible action but the loss will

be talking about economic sanctions they'll talk about trade as well brazil is likely to offer visa free travel for americans going into brazil but that won't easily be reciprocated but brazil would like to get not nato ally status now what would that mean that would mean they would get access to buying u.s. military hardware would also give them the chance to pick up some excess military hardware as well as the brazilians see this as the key point and donald trump has never been shy in trying to sell american weapons abroad so that could well be a point of agreement during these talks and a lot of people wondering what this new year on u.s. president relations could mean for other countries not just one is the way that you talked about but also china for instance when it comes to trade. exactly right we're talking about the two biggest economies in the americas donald trump is keen to get as much american business into places like brazil as possible he

believes that that will help american businesses and help him deliver on those election promises the brazilians are looking for investment in their nuclear power industry one thing that the united states really wants is access to the brazilian rock which means they could fire satellites into space the brazilians have in the past been reluctant to grant not because it's giving up some sovereignty of their own soil to the united states but given that these two presidents are very much alike in with each other when it comes to very key political issues there's a possibility that the huddle could be overcome certainly we will find out a lot from both men when they hold a joint news conference in the rose garden and what is a fairly fairly chilly day here in washington in the next hour or so thank you for that alan fischer lifeforce in washington. catholic sounds president has announced

when his fourth term is year to expire mom advantage has more. to choose the marks the anniversary of the r.g.b. in war of independence. this year it's coincided with unprecedented calls for change thousands including university students and medical doctors have joined the protests in the capital of jews calling on president of the isis but a few buttons on. the word change which for weeks was the exclusive demand of the protesters is now being used by their leaders to but while the protesters want to change the entire ruling class the leaders are talking about changing the constitution according to state media president with a flipper has announced that an all inclusive national conference will be held soon what people can decide on a new constitution through a referendum senior algerian diplomat lot about a brahimi who is likely to be assigned a role in the political process weighed in by stressing the arrogant nature of the

national dialogue. he stuck in an interview with the national radio he said there was a deadlock in the situation and desisted the demand for change is in his words totally legitimate comprehensible and expected if the circus is proposing to those who present themselves as the spokespeople of the street to those who say we need immediate change in our leader should go i say very well let us go but we have to organize it we can't just throw the keys and walk away to escape it's impossible and i've said it several times before in iraq they are left at once and look what happened after that. the head of the army also spoke out loud like this but they should be just the algerian people have proved to enjoy a supreme sense of civilization nationalism it denotes a deep popular awareness that has amazed the entire world in light of this awareness of the sacredness of the nation its security and stability i know renu my

previous engagement before god the people in history to ensure the continuation of the rule of the national army as an impregnable fortress protecting our people in our nation and in any imaginable circumstance. but a large section of the political opposition says official statements fall short of the mop and thirteen independent unions have refused to back the newly appointed prime minister's efforts to form a government risking further political analyst in the weeks to come amid fog of disease. canada says it will stop the use of the boeing seven three seven max eight aircraft until july meanwhile prosecutors in the us are looking into how the model was created by america's aviation regulator as a pinafore 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 another in indonesia five months ago both involved seven

three seven max eight planes robert wall is the senior aerospace an aviation additive for the wall street journal he says the probes into boeing could have serious ramifications for company. obviously the prosecutor the investigators keep it pretty closely really held what specifically they're looking at we can assume that they will be looking at all the documentation or as much documentation as they can get their hands on between boeing and the f.a.a. to see if everything was complied with if there were any variances maybe even any shortcuts taken so i think that is definitely going to be a key part of the probe and i think also important to realize is the u.s. congress is getting involved and is going to start up its own investigation and they can also obviously require people to come testify before before congress so this is a multifaceted. scrutiny that boeing and the seven three seven and the f.a.a. will be under in the coming weeks this is certainly a big crisis for boeing i think there's no other way to put it how

how financially how big are the financial implications i mean certainly the costs of this can run high between litigation damages they may have to pay for airlines that have had to ground their planes. you know this is a costly undertaking. in all fairness you also have to realize boeing is a big company with many many businesses principally known for its commercial airplanes but it does many other things i mean this is not the kind of thing you would expect would threaten the future of the company but it is certainly in an uncomfortable position for them to be in police in the netherlands or investigating the motive of a gunman who shot three people dead on a tram men tanis is in custody after police launched a manhunt in the city of tracked authorities say the thirty seven year old man had previous run ins with law enforcement that's your thought he say they're still investigating a possible terrorism related motive but other reasons haven't been ruled out at the

ash about now has more from the trapped. police are continuing to question the main suspect in connection with this shooting on the tram that happened in neutral on monday now they have named him as a thirty seven year old a man. they say that he was born in turkey but he grew up here in the netherlands in fact lived in utrecht and he was arrested about three kilometers from the scene of the shooting he was found in a building now he was known to the police they say that he has a past a criminal record past including a crime such as burglary but in terms of any motivation wolf that still remains unclear police are saying that it could be a family drama a family rao but they're also saying that terrorism could possibly be a motive now in terms of what happens to this suspect he'll be kept for forty eight hours after his arrest investigation the questioning continues and after that time

the judge will decide whether or not police have the right to keep him for a further two weeks in custody now the man of utrecht has also come out he has said that the three people who were killed in that shooting two men and one woman but he's not yet released the names and that is out of respect he says for the families there's no doubt though that this city the people in the city still remain extremely shaken by those events on monday because you traped is well much like the rest of the netherlands it is not a country it's not a city where gun crime is very common. which is among a number of countries that i've seen an increase in cases of measles in the past few months the country has put in place emergency measures that keep vaccinations compulsory medics blame a growing anti-vaccination movement for the rise. has a report from rome. home schooling is sometimes a necessity for. when she was just eight months old she had to have

a liver transplant one side effect was that. not get vaccines such as the one required to prevent measles leaving her vulnerable to infections she has to rely on something called herd immunity which requires ninety five percent of the population to be vaccinated to create wider protection. i can't do many of the things my friends like if i go to school and there's an outbreak of the flu i get sent home as his mother christina has campaigned for mandatory vaccines and she's furious that it is government for attempting to allow parents to self certify that children vaccinations without official checks but they didn't meet the skill why does there have to be this risk it's not a joke the problem is a basic ignorant sense of the bad. it's not a consideration for this family who didn't want to use their real names so we're calling them out and cloud they've decided to forgo the measles vaccinations for

that child yet they have self certified him so he can enter the public school system their choices aren't informed by scientific fact but on debunked theories promoted by the anti vaccine movement designated by the u.s. health body to be one of this year's worst health threats. research is taken from different sources some from the internet some from friends medications are important and science is fundamental but the most important thing really is personal choice. it's really had been a leader in vaccination strategies but over the past four years there has been a ten percent decline in those rates. it's especially dangerous for children last year the country had one of the highest rates of measles outbreaks in europe this phenomenon of self determining medical practices has gone down well with those who are somewhat skeptical of the or forty such as the doctor who is devising the

vaccines and the politician who is implementing them but the problem is that this populist approach to health care is having very real consequences and flies in the face of scientific evidence. both really gd my own math yourself ves the five star and the deputy prime minister say they are in favor of vaccines but they have spoken out against the current law in a radio interview last year salvini even push theories university debunked by medical professionals have been amplified by social media. you know get confused and don't know if trusting a million to or even trusting other people that may be also more famous to doctors and that's one of the problem we face now. as the cases of measles continue to rise some believe is from the populist government surprised many recently by signing a science pact in favor of vaccines but the damage from the disinflation campaigns

may have already been done so now you go al jazeera rome. well again i'm fully back with the headlines on al-jazeera mozambique's president says more than a thousand people may have been killed by cyclonic diet officials have declared emergencies there and in neighboring zimbabwe and malawi the u.n. says it is possibly the worst storm ever to hit the southern hemisphere the u.k.'s prime minister theresa may is reportedly preparing to write to either leaders requesting a short and long delay after breck's it plans suffered another setback the speaker of the lower house of the british parliament ruled that she can only hold another vote on her deal if it's fundamentally different from the one before brazil's president also narrow is in the us ways been meeting with president donald trump as well snarls first foreign trip since taking office the two leaders are expected to
