transportation department orders an audit of how the plane was satisfied. so the united nations is describing cyclon each day as one of the worst weather disasters ever to hit the southern hemisphere millions of people have been affected and measure and beacons and way and in malawi at least one thousand people may have been killed in mozambique aid agencies are calling it the worst humanitarian crisis in the nation's history three days of mourning have been declared the storm then hit zimbabwe where tens of thousands of people are being cut off and then malawi nearly a million people still need humanitarian aid we have correspondents across the region in a moment we'll hear the latest from her room a tacit in zimbabwe but also have a report from outcome weapon central mess and big but first for me to mila has the latest from mozambique's port city of baghdad. the situation here appears to be
6:02 am
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 aid agencies that have been able to fly overhead say that the floodwaters are of
6:03 am
very high that entire villages have been swept away now here in barrow 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 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 well let's hear now from oakland where been this bigger better 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
6:04 am
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. the v so i don't know maybe she declares 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
6:05 am
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 with as we mentioned earlier cycle you know i was also back to jim broadway rescue teams there are warning that time is running out for people caught off his mall. one by one they arrived bruised and battered by the violent flood surge caused by cycling the 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 pawns because some we covered by my question or just a part of the border and some of. the cards in. turkey and on friday before some of the patients they were now sitting in fiction so it's going to be injuries that we've been seeing this woman walk to this makes
6:06 am
of 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 demeans the helicopters trying to 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 storm to hit and second in the nearly twenty years ago some government officials have reacted faster and learned from past natural disasters we're very
6:07 am
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 thier time may be running out for those still believed to be alive and trapped in a month parts of the country how did. she manage money zimbabwe moving on the first funerals have been held in christ church new zealand for victims of friday's shooting at two mosques that killed fifty people thirty bodies have been released to the families for burials police hope to return others as soon as possible new zealand's prime minister just announced that two minutes of silence will be observed on friday for the victims of the times islamic call to prayer would also be televised nationwide she said it was particularly tragic that
6:08 am
refugees were among the victims of the attorney. one of the things that was shared with me was that a family fictive were syrian refugees and i cannot tell you have got ing it is to know that the family came here for safety and for refuge. and they should have been safe here and you will see that you know amongst new zealanders on social media one of the one of the images any country would say it has spread the most has been that this was the home and they should have been safe here. well let's join our way in hey. way in the first funerals would be taking place. and we've been speaking a lot haven't we about the frustration among some of the family members about this process about the process of having the bodies returned following autopsies and identifications and then they bring them to get the funerals the burials on the way
6:09 am
will finally on wednesday that started the first people to bury to be buried was a father and son killed inside one of the mosques. fourteen year old they were refugees from syria who had settled. they arrived here just. so we understand that as wednesday draws to a close they may well be more funerals there was some hope as well nic that one of the mosques where the shooting took place the lynwood mosque would reopen i'm just going to step aside and allow us to show you that mosque it is still very much a police scene as you can see that is the mosque down the end of the driveway they have throughout the course of the day there have been police officers there have been cleanup crews we've also seen building contractors coming and going from that building so it seems like it is close to reopening whether or not indeed it does
6:10 am
reopen on wednesday we'll have to wait and see but we also understand that the mosque where the first attack took place on friday the al nor mosque will reopen on friday for friday prayers and weigh in their prime minister has been very vocal throughout this whole process she's been speaking again tell us more about what she's been saying. she certainly has been vocal hasn't she she's being leading from the front really in terms of the response to this this was the second visit to christ since the attack i'm sure it will. not be the law this one was very much focused on the victims again she met with leaders of the muslim community she met with first responders to see how they are coping up there arriving at such a horrific scene and she also went to one of the high schools here in christchurch that lost two people inside one of the mosques and she focused very much on what is going to happen next as you mentioned friday she said will be a very emotional day
6:11 am
a very difficult day very poignant and so to mark the first week anniversary of the attack on the two mosques there will be a nationwide broadcast on television and radio of the call to prayer there will also be two minutes silence right around new zealand for people to mock what happened here on friday yes it will be a very poignant way for the time being thanks very much and thank you. the news chief breaks it negotiated says that britain will only be allowed to delay its departure from the block if british prime minister to resign may can show that that will increase the chances of getting the brakes a deal through parliament may is expected to last the e.u. for an extension of at least three months the deal has already be rejected twice by british m.p.'s. if prime minister may requests such an extension
6:12 am
before the open accounts are on thursday it's really before the twenty seven leaders to uscis the reason and their usefulness for an extension if you really do is we need a concrete plan for the u.k. in order to able to be able to make an informed decision and the questions will be does an extension increase the chances for a direct if you question of do we do agreement or lawrence lee 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 law school fifty on a delayed subject sits and clearly she's working on the assumption that that's going to be granted on some level but a lot of the 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 i'm certainly the french among others
6:13 am
are suggesting they might not guns an extension asshole now just to extrapolate that that would mean that all of 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 politician head and cite you this is your last chance about an ideal but even if she says that the ultra hard pull bricks it says will not vote for her because they would say i'm going to do that because we're out with no deal at the end of this week and that's what we've always won seats 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 ah the no deal crushing out with all the turbulence and economic damage that would cause all series of my having to face the choice of abandoning bricks it's an revoking cicle fifty that would split the conservative policy the government in off and probably would collapse the government's side of the decision of the european union is about to make is absolutely critical for the
6:14 am
democracy of the united kingdom the future economy of the united kingdom all these things now absolutely it's a critical moment. still ahead here on al-jazeera. every day thousands of people come to this war to find someplace to i'm thirty five or what i like twenty four that were destroyed by now people in this country continue to struggle to survive. hello the winter is disappearing at some tremendous rate across most of north america no still a line of snow on the ground across the upper midwest and the northern plains and the central primaries of canada and at night this thing as it comes down to when so please a little bit of snow is mainly
6:15 am
a rain band in his remaining star running through teria so the picture generally quiet one although temporarily it will feel cold however we got the problem of quite a lot of flooding struck this the midwest and central plains that i'm in nebraska significant flooding the river in missouri for example and having discovered that california is now one hundred percent free of drought for us not good enough we need some more rain and some more snow pack so that's the case for both wednesday and thursday it goes all cloudy wet or snowy once again to the south also the actions increasing by the more significant shower seemed likely as they leave florida for western cuba and the bahamas and increasingly we see showers around not just in colombia but panama costa rica and maybe a few parts of guatemala and certainly mexico mexico as of late have been heavy and they're becoming rather few and if any is going to be on the gulf coast east coast east of mexico city as for the small arms of the eastern caribbean still to draw out. the weather sponsored by cat our employees.
6:16 am
are all dismissed remember takers working here is a seven days a week job that's grown with a community my father purchased a black ambulance and started to do the funerals in london and really we sort of stopped being part of indonesia and we can isn't this stories we don't often hear told by the people who the gift is such a level of actual east and undertakers this is europe. again you watch out zero a reminder of our top stories this hour the un is describing cycling as one of the
6:17 am
worst weather disasters ever to hit the southern hemisphere hundreds are confirmed dead many more missing millions of people have been affected across mozambique zimbabwe and malawi. the first funerals have taken place in christchurch new zealand for victims of friday's shooting at least two mosques that killed fifty people and thirty bodies have been released to the families for burial. he used chief breaks in negotiated says that britain will only be allowed to delay its departure from the blog britain's prime minister can show that that will increase chances of getting the brits a deal through parliament the deal has already been rejected twice by british m.p.'s. the u.s. transportation department is examining how the country's aviation regulator the f.a.a. so to find the boeing seven three seven max a craft several countries have grounded the planes in the wake of two fatal crashes in less than six months i recall has more now from washington d.c.
6:18 am
. two fatal crashes of the brand new boeing seven thirty seven max eight months apart and every day it seems there are new troubling revelations the federal aviation administration is in charge of making sure this plane is safe but now there are reports the f.a.a. said it didn't have enough money to check out all of the plane systems with its own employees so they asked boeing engineers to police themselves. a controversial move but one that has some defenders. there is always a risk of delegate. some of your direct sort of occasion authority over the aircraft design but you need the manufacturer's expertise they know their product better than anyone investigators are trying to determine if a new system was responsible for downing both planes boeing put in new sensors in the autopilot system but it didn't tell the airlines or the pilots that it was installed when they did after the first crash they told the pilots to do
6:19 am
a voluntary class on their i pads to learn about it all while insisting the airlines shouldn't have their pilots train on a simulator which would have been expensive a simulator is the nearest thing you can have to actually having it happen and they're critical in any pilot's deep tissue understanding of their aircraft should this plane have been certified that is something the transportation department says it will now investigate along with congress and the justice department in the midst of all of this the white house has announced their pick to lead the f.a.a. former delta airlines executive and pilot steven dixon if confirmed to be walking into an agency long overlooked now under fire pedicle al-jazeera washington. amnesty international is accusing the u.s. military of killing civilians in somalia quote contradicting claims by the us government that analyzed satellite imagery from five out of more than one hundred air strikes and found that at least fourteen civilians were killed the u.s. government acknowledges that strikes under the trumpet administration have tripled
6:20 am
and that hundreds of fighters have been killed but it maintains that there have been zero civilian casualties in the statement of the u.s. military deny the report it said that africa goes to extraordinary lengths to reduce the likelihood of civilian casualties exercising restraint as a matter of policy assessments found that no africa home resulted in any civilian casualty or injury well david mina's a senior policy analyst at the new america think tank he says u.s. drone strikes in somalia appear to be less targeted than in other campaigns. so one thing that is critical regarding the counter-terrorism campaign in somalia is that it's become in many ways an air campaign in support of somali forces and in defense of a number of u.s. advisors on the ground level it's a lot different from what the counterterrorism strikes in pakistan that became many people's vision of drone strikes was there wasn't in the ongoing conflict in the
6:21 am
same way it was more of a targeted killing campaign of high profile al qaeda and taliban leaders although also in that campaign there was sort of a move towards broader getting wrapped up in an existing conflict the united states should absolutely do more oversight particularly congress on what the u.s. is doing and the costs of its strikes it is worth noting that in comparison to other combatant commands or other campaigns such as a covert one in pakistan africa has been extremely forthcoming with casualty as suspects after every strike they conduct but it's simply not enough to us us gun ducted many strikes killed many hundreds if not thousands of people over this campaign. there really needs to be more an amnesty international laws push forward the discussion it will certainly be reviewed many of these reported
6:22 am
incidents whether they are strong claims of civilian casualties and the next weeks or months israeli forces have killed two palestinians did not do this in the occupied west bank medics were prevented from approaching the scene by israeli forces the palestinian red crescent society says one of its i'm doing says was fired on by the israeli army to try to reach the wounded. israeli forces shot dead a palestinian suspect thought to be behind an attack in the occupied west bank on sunday the suspects nineteen year old i mean. was found in the village of the 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 and need to bring him as more now from ramallah. yes it's has been officially confirmed that two

6:27 am
a major issue most of the fishermen we have spoken to say that they have been robbed by thieves that are operating in the area and the local also most of them are former fisherman turned into smugglers. was robbed a few days ago it's a funny thing is something. the government detain them and then releases them they are armed and if there are five five of them are the boat i work with was stolen i am without a boat and without work. once had one of the most trying fishing industries in the region when i came to power he nationalized company some ports. he also wanted to prioritize fishing but things did not go as planned for. the government express companies and gave them to cooperate of no experience there's no knowledge in how to handle these companies when the equipment starts failing the nobody knows how to solve it initially b idea was good but look where
