the more the temptation is to drink unclean water and that can lead to water borne diseases like dysentery and diarrhea and that can cause serious repercussions so there was an urgent need here to get aid to these people quickly and get the most fun of people out the death toll at the moment stands at something like two hundred seventeen but the president of mozambique said that's probably easily going to rise in the coming days the problem is getting to these outlying areas and finding out exactly what the scale of the problem is if we take you to small hamlets like the one i'm standing in now they're also near boozy boozy a very vulnerable area about four hours away from now people are either being taken come bringing water here to be or all of it being taken to smaller patches of language or above the water level closer to boozy now because he has an additional problem the two big dams in mozambique which are overflowing they've got to have the water released in a controlled way but there's a fear that if this is not done properly it will cause a surge and boozing in particular will be very vulnerable to that surge so you know

a clear roadmap many in algeria believe the eighty two year old would flee may be unfit to govern due to his health. the country's newly appointed foreign minister extended a conciliatory hand to the protest movement the likes of which algeria has not seen for decades ok then and when she and what the solution lies in dialogue the algerian state is fully ready for dialogue moreover it is fully ready to welcome the representative of the opposition and civil society as members a new government that is being formed now. a constructive dialogue is the only way capable of finding successful solutions that meet people's expectations in the state's responsibilities. the demonstrations led by the young have already scored success which was forced to withdraw from the possibility of a fifth term but he also postponed polls which were due in april with no new date set and he remains the nominal head of the transition process. many protesters note

ironically that they've asked for elections without beautifully but what they've got is beautifully still in power and nowhere lections complicating matters even further is the fact that protesters want to see more than just a go they'd also like to see the ouster of the entire establishment that has backed him until now which means the protests looks set to continue. with if lisa and his f.l. and party have not ruled jury alone also at the top table is a coalition of business interests and the military on tuesday algeria's army chief declared that the public has expressed noble aims during the demonstrations analysts believe those words to be the strongest signal yet that the military may be distancing itself from with of leka. an explosion at a chemical factory in essentially now has killed at least six people and injured thirty others it happened in young chiang injun's benz brown has more from beijing . well the investigation into this latest explosion at a chemical plant in eastern china is now underway this was

a very powerful blast several hours after it there was still a large plume of smoke hanging over the industrial complex a number of people were injured at least thirty they're being treated in hospital so it's possible the death toll could continue to rise at least thirty people though were rescued many of them workers from this chemical factory now we know that at least ten schools are within a five kilometer radius of this side of course that is one small raise questions about why people are able to live a permitted to live so close to industrial states where these dangerous chemicals are produced now sadly industrial accidents like this are not rare in china there have been at least four serious ones during the past five years the most serious of which was in the northeastern city of tension in august two thousand and fifteen

when a hundred sixty five people were killed after an explosion at a chemical storage plant now china as i say does not have a particularly good record when it comes to industrial safety worker safety in two thousand and seventeen at least thirty eight thousand workers died in accidents in factories and mines but that was a twelve percent fall on the previous year it is improving china's government says it's improving but clearly the government has a long way to go to improve on that safety record. people across india have marks the beginning of spring with the hindu holy festival the celebrations involve people covering each other in brightly counted powder and water it symbolizes a tyrant of good over evil the two day festival of colors is also mocked in many countries around the world. so.

close again i'm fully back to go with the headlines on al-jazeera at least seventy one people have died after a ferry capsized in northern iraq dozens of survivors have been pulled from the waters of the tigris river in mosul about two hundred people were on board the ferry when it went down natasha good name has more on the struggles that people were already facing in mosul we were there several weeks ago and just to see the sheer misery that people are living in living among rubble some people said that you could still smell the d. came bodies deep under the rubble especially when it rained people struggling to eat and relying on charity to get by so again this is a tragedy on top of the tragedy that many people are enduring day to day on a national holiday that you can tell many people just wanted to seize a moment of happiness and escape from it all britain's prime minister is in brussels to defend her request for a brecht sit delay e.u.

leaders say they will not agree to a short extension unless they u.k. parliament approved teresa mayes withdrawal deal rescue workers in mozambique are struggling to reach victims of psycho and nearly fifteen thousand people are stranded and at least three hundred have died since the storm struck mozambique zimbabwe and malawi. new zealand's prime minister has introduced sweeping gun controls after last week's mosque attacks that killed fifty people just into our durned says it will be an immediate ban on military style semi automatic weapons. president michel ten man has been arrested in connection with the country's largest corruption scandal has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in venezuela opposition leader one. of his chief of staff is a sign of weakness by president nicolas maduro or battlement addle was detained after a raid on his house in caracas on thursday morning an explosion at

a chemical factory in eastern china has killed at least six people and injured thirty others it happened in young change in john's province you're upset with the headlines on al-jazeera the news will continue right after this is europe.

what about the gentleman who died in north fundable this week is with us she sent us the better this is a guest when we're going to be able to oh please see you later when you stretch we bury him two more for we're going to look i'm still working here is a twenty four hour a day seven days a week job to do with the amount of stress that we experience sometimes is immense i can still hope to maybe go on these balls. looking for work. i'm good i'm a muslim funeral director here in london. i've now part time and i'm letting the young people take over. so what will happen now is we have to take and miss valentino in front of the most praise this is

present in his coffin and we have another funeral happening today so after the prayers finish move will take the deceased down to the money i'm sometimes ideas such as the tall nine foot building at the back of the most open and she lets the germans over will take you down into the muddy him sometime and one of the rooms will do it but if you look at to see a signature ready my colleagues will take it to the rest of. the ladies sister who passed away and was mostly in the. nephew and the people that can travel feel that they're christian. i believe that a bit vague in terms of what happens in the muslim funeral as in a sonic muslim as a basic and simple in that sense but floor and off to the main explain what's happening.

right now my grandson in college so i know he's coming in the last six months and we hope that we can train him to take over for me to carry on to do shrooms to carry on the service for the people who are you know under his. it's a. moment i'm. going to. want to be i want. to be judged on my dad and. mom i do know. that you know that. other stuff.

as you said it was this girl gave it all. my whole family's for a member who is with her and has sort of been overwhelmed. the idea of death and death is an everyday thing. that's. carrying on my family's legacy. one to walk up to three knowing. my mom dad she went into the company was my great grandfather wonder a little bit help so sure for we can then he turned the years and she just carried

on. but she decided she wanted to go back teaching. i was quite surprised you wanted to do this and i didn't know whether it was just because it was an easy option because you like. what. you really want to do it didn't. really enjoy doing nothing so my dad's a big character and it's really difficult because for twenty years over twenty years we stopped we saw a stopping father and daughter and became business partners which challenge to stomach lee how i was dealing with him and talking to him and there's this very much disrespect thing. and we deal with things very very differently i was in partnership with my dad only up until recently. who know was here for twenty years and she decided to achieve would stand back for

a while because maybe she wanted to direct her to trust him to nose and i was standing in her way we have women come here their husbands have died and they can relate to a woman better than they can a man especially with asian women so we need a woman's touch here and i think it will be coming back. we have about thirty thousand plus muslim population here in the white chapel east london area and this is always been the kind of melting pot of southern england. you know did not reply you paula visit the mosque every now and name and not only did i go. to the extent the mosque to cause trouble that bit of a channel but islands. lovely little towns and causing quite a bunch of. they came here that day was. i don't think it was it was the other night temperature leading to for what great

britain's first was privileged to be in london i was speech you might arrive in belfast is someone that isn't and you always assume it's because the kids in the. working quite strict was closed off because you had to find the same time i'm sure it was developed by now friend. and you know i don't live in the area. something. well let me know what the it's simply you know there and if you engage me we work together we go on to give a what. i want from some in the media well. we all respect one another's views yeah to a point of we disagree sometimes but we don't ram if you spend people's fronts. the way i do you can't be fearful just in case you as you know that. when the downy i'm not ok and think we're going to happen is it going to happen yeah especially

when you got to kate's. what i could. to get to your original question yes you have to give them the original green certificate last year which is flowing this country you have to have the greens and difficult original ok i need problems give me a ring but i think you're going by. you only bury somebody once and people remember things when they go wrong weddings and funerals and if you do it right the way my dad used to do it then that's good and if you do it wrong those people will never forget you and will always curse you. too. this is the picture of dad and me. yeah when i was about five years of age because my father that wasn't very happy about having photographs taken when mothers in the sari and i'm sure this was about nineteen fifty six this was taken.

around about the mid sixty's when there was an influx of muslim people arriving here in east london mainly bangladeshis or at that time it was east pakistan. the the need for a funeral service grew so my father purchased a black ambulance man and started to do the funerals here in london. tasneem army was only seventeen is anyone he deputized this find his father was away on pilgrimage to mecca i grew up here in this area and we had this phenomena called bashing we had right when the groups coming along looking for asians to beat up just for the sake of it. my father was beaten up and. it wasn't a wasn't

a good time in east end of london. my mum was welsh she converted to islam too in the second world war with my father she was a coal miner's daughter can you imagine the stigma of a white lady marrying a dark person but she didn't care but i'm also proud to be a bangladeshi as well. oh yeah that's my dad that's my dad roughly. four weeks before he died and is now when he graduated and muna when she graduated she sees the world in a different way because being younger than me she can maybe project forward where i don't that's why i think politicians shouldn't be allowed to be politicians after sixty five that some young blood for us away because they've got better ideas and

see things better than we do we're always thinking in the past and they're thinking in the future and it's important. so i do miss her yes. today we have the you know gratian of the strong room for the first british muslim archives and guests who want different books of life have come to join us in the celebrations of this kind of pivotal moment. hygene taslima setup the country's first and indeed it was europe's first muslim burial service

we're hopefully going to see. her family members coming in. we're starting at five thirty so fingers crossed show sure to make it on time just go fifteen minutes. that's a very good move you should call. i can have just missed the whole case and if finished safely perfect timing. ok so where is this that gary this is going to guy in the marriage and point is before you go down to this town and how many can see it would you want to hang out in that ok to play the victim of all that play. dirty funny because i didn't

realize and i think the i'm basically a five but is that your point that we're all maybe you can take a photo and i can send it to dads. be nice for dad to say that i was a.
