east and undertakers this is europe on al-jazeera. came full no. hundreds of dead in mozambique zimbabwe and malawi have to cycle and causes one of the worst ever weather disasters to hit the southern hemisphere. alone down in jordan this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up the first funerals get underway for the victims of new zealand's mosque attacks. further federal investigations in the u.s. and our boeing's seven three seven max airliners were cleared by regulators to fly with two deadly crashes in five months. and journalists feel the pressure from new

tactics imposed by the government in indian administered kashmir. the un is describing the cycle and as one of the worst weather disasters ever to hit the southern hemisphere millions of people have been affected in mozambique zimbabwe and malawi at least a thousand people may have been killed in mozambique alone aid agencies are calling it the worst humanitarian crisis in the nation's history three days of mourning have also been declared well the storm then hit zimbabwe where tens of thousands of people have been cut off and in malawi the only a million people still need human a tarion aid well we have correspondents across the region in a moment we'll hear the latest from her in zimbabwe we'll also have a report from outcome webb in central mozambique but first as the latest from mozambique's port city of bell. 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 swept away now here in bear 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 but people here are also disappointed they were told to evacuate before the cycling 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 and that is malcolm went from a spirit in central missouri. the cyclamen brought ferocious winds and days of torrential rains just a few days ago this river was up above the level of what remains of this road and

it swept away the entire bridge that was here you can see some of the few pieces that remain of it and that's left people stranded on both sides mobile communications are down so people can't speak to their relatives they don't know if they've survived or what's happened also means essential goods and humanitarian aid can't pass since the friday. to go to. be so i don't know what the degree is because there is no bridge the. bridges and all of the officials from the district headquarters have come to inspect the damage but realistically there's almost nothing they can do without help from at least the central government or possibly from outside of ms mozambique there's no way that they can fix a big piece of infrastructure like this and so every day people come down here to see if there's a way if they can pass to see if the water levels low enough to get

a small boat or to walk or even get a vehicle across but until that happens they're still stuck. well rescue teams in zimbabwe are warning that time is running out for people cut off how much hassle reports. one by one they arrived bruised and battered by the violent flood surge caused by cycling a die these survivors spent days marooned in remote villages but damaged phone lines destroyed roads and bad weather delayed the help they needed some posing for pictures. but they always just bones because some we covered by my question or just a part of the border and some of. the cards in. turkey and on friday for some of the patients they were now sitting in fiction so it's going to be injuries that we've been seeing this woman walked as makeshift

medical center she was injured when a house fell on top of her during the floods two of her children were killed her surviving baby is the sole focus of i love. my husband and uncle said the waters in the house they were trying to pull out one of my children from under the rubble he wasn't breathing and then the kitchen collapsed that's where my other child was killed doctors say they saw at least twenty patients in one day they hope that number increases as reports of more people needing help come in those people's rescue depends on the weather rescuing people when there is a bad way they can be extremely difficult he needs the helicopters can't take off and some of these people have been waiting for days to hear news about their loved ones they don't know whether they are alive or dead. is a was daunted some and second in the nearly twenty years ago some of the government officials have reacted faster and learned from past natural disasters we're very

exists in structure. that give us an indication that the people were prepared but the magnitude of what you've been now was unimaginable. in new. ford. the priority for now is burying the dead finding the missing and cheating the injured many fear time may be running out for those still believed to be alive and trapped in a most parts of the country how did. she manage money isn't public now the first funerals have begun in christchurch in new zealand the victims of friday's shooting at two mosques that killed fifty people twenty one bodies have been released to the families for burials police hope to return the rest of the remains as soon as possible a minister to send our has been visiting christchurch where she told people to do their part in the fight against racism i need help from fruit single one of us. and so if we want to feel like we're doing something to make a difference yes cheri there is outpourings of love get i think you've seen that

strongly said look after one another but also late new zealand be a place where there is no tolerance for rice isn't it and that's something we can all do a lot of thomas joins us live now from christchurch andrew said the first funerals for some of the victims have begun tell us what's been happening there. yes well the first funeral for two of the victims of friday's attacks is under way right now this is the funeral of a man who only came to new zealand from syria he was a refugee he fled here just six months ago he arrived and he was shot dead in the al gore mosque last friday as was his teenage son and both of them are being buried together right now at a cemetery on the outskirts of christ church the police gave a press conference earlier on wednesday and they explained the delays in getting back the bodies to the families of those who were killed because it's two people and i think you're seeing their coffins now being buried on wednesday that some of

the first to be released but only about half the bodies are in a position to be released so far twenty one as it was at the end of choose daylight not tuesday christ church time six further ones are being released or at least are in a position to be released the family met they've been formally identified now so just over half the bodies have been formally identified so far a very slow probably process obviously to be done meticulously no months to return the wrong body to the wrong family but the families are getting frustrated by the delays which has been visiting a high school here in christ church earlier on when stay she was talking to the people they lost two of their own two of the students at that school were killed in last friday's attacks as were five other people associated with the school parents and former pupils she was talking particularly to the children about social media these children have seen a lot of the horrible imagery around this event last friday. saying please don't watch that don't share that but use social media in a positive way share stories of your friends that you've lost share your own

positive stories use social media for good not for the he notes purposes that the killer wants it to be used he was very strong on that at the school she also talked to people about why she wants to reform gun laws here in new zealand she said that her minutes is a working in her words very very hard to bring in gun reform very very soon she promised that gun reform will be brought in within ten days of the attacks well that would be this coming monday so we're expecting some kind of public announcement of what a cabinet has already said to the grade in private before next monday in a few minutes she'll be meeting emergency service workers in the building behind me she'll be talking their lights are as well about the updates on all the situation as it stands here in christ church and really just showing people here in christ church modes and service workers among them of course she's leading from the front and she is saying not only is all new zealand behind them but the whole world as

well she wants this message to be one of unity and not of division and i wonder what's the what's the atmosphere like in christchurch now i mean how are people coming to terms with this. well down not being here now for five days ever since friday and of course over the weekend there was just profound shock on everybody's face you just saw so many people carrying bunches of flowers look at being asked about the police presence on the streets and yes you did see place carrying firearms but quite frankly you still owe more people carrying flowers and they were talking in reverential terms as they got to the memorials a very subdued atmosphere i'll be honest it's a working day it's wednesday now and in most parts of christchurch the city has largely returned to normal its normal working week most of the roads are open only the one that runs directly past the hour nor most of the bigger of that suit that was attacked last friday is still closed off otherwise the city is operating normally but of course you go into cafes you talk to people in the street obviously at the memorials everywhere you go there is only one subject on people's minds and

it's not the attack so much that's done and dusted in a sense for the people here it's how this city can move on knowing that it has a horrible scar now but nothing too but it won't be defined by this and christ church will grow stronger from it's all right to under thomas there in christchurch andrew thank you for now israeli forces have killed two palestinians near nablus in the occupied west bank medics were prevented from approaching the scene by israeli forces the palestinian red crescent society says one of its ambulances was fired on by the israeli army as it tried to reach the wounded where the only israeli forces shot dead a palestinian suspect thought to be behind an attack in the occupied west bank on sunday the suspect nineteen year old omar i mean was found in the village of abilene that's north of ramallah when troops raided the building where he was hiding israel says he was killed after he allegedly opened fire at the security forces that came to arrest him two other palestinians were arrested in the operation you know abraham has more now from ramallah. yes it's has been officially

confirmed that two palestinians were killed we have initial deports from people there saying that israeli forces shot the men who were in that car in nablus which is. north of the occupied west bank now as you said medics were not allowed to see . them switch shots at them tried to reach the injured it's still unclear what happened between the palestinians and israeli forces prior to the shooting but usually it is there the forces come to nablus specially in the much of the hour to secure the israeli settlers and breaking into the joseph tombs area we never that really prime minister himself benjamin that and now it's going gradually to the israeli intelligence agency for killing go on much of the late evidence they believe has been on that on sunday after committing that attack in that it will make that look at such a moment of and israeli intelligence agency has said this is scared all might in an

exchange of fire after finding him in his hiding place in our brain phillips that locals say that at first an undercover unit has entered the village close in confrontations with the palestinians over there before more and fourth man has come to the village and surrounded the house and asked for much to sudden death before shelling gets as a result of the competition's that's happened to palestinians arrested magic stylez that fifteen other students were injured including two by life and mission. for short break your knowledge is there out when we come back changing course we know what the british prime minister's options are as our present crisis worsens. and an unexpected resignation and kazakhstan the president steps down at least thirty is in power more mistakes.

departure from the bloc if the british prime minister to resign make sure that it will increase the chances of getting the bugs that deal through parliament maze expected to ask the e.u. for an extension of at least three months the deals are already been rejected twice by british m.p.'s if prime minister may requests such an extension before the open accounts are unserved day it's really before the twenty seven leaders to us the reason and their use for nests for an extension. you really do wish you would need a concrete plan for the u.k. in order to able to be able to make an informed decision and the key questions will be does an extension increase the chances for directv kitchen of the reader agreement lawrence ne has been following developments in london well to reason may is right singh has written is in the process of writing to the head

of the european council and just asking for an extension to our school fifty and a delay to bricks and clearly she's working on the assumption that that's going to be granted on some level but a lot of the new music now coming out of brussels is to say why should we do it you can't tell us what you'll tentative plan is and certainly the french among others are suggesting they might not grant an extension asshole now just to extrapolate that that would mean that after the e.u. summit at the end of this week there would be one week left until the supposed bricks it dates of march twenty ninth the reason may was then you have to come back as a parliament here and say this is your last chance about an ideal but even if she says that the ultra hardcore bricks it says will not vote for her because they would say no no to do that because we're out with no deal at the end of this week and that's what we've always wanted so if you assume then that even if she tried to bring a vote back the third time she would lose it's then the u.k. is staring down the barrel of either no deal crushing out with all the turbulence

and economic damage that would cause also reason may having to face the choice of abandoning bricks it and revoking article fifty that would split the conservative party the government in off and probably would collapse the government so the decision of the european union is about to make is absolutely critical for the democracy of the of the united kingdom the future economy of the united kingdom all these things now are absolutely at a critical moment. the u.s. transportation department says it will examine how the country's aviation regulator the f.a.a. certified the boeing seven three seven max eight several countries have grounded the planes in the wake of two fatal crashes in less than six months on tuesday the white house nominated a new head of the f.a.a. the post had been vacant for more than a year particle lane as more from washington d.c. . the white house has announced a new head for the federal aviation administration that has been under fire it's steven dixon he's a former senior vice president for the delta airlines an american company he was at
