but why use to politely respectfully push back and say this is wrong this is not the way we do it lead by example as prime minister i don't is doing but constantly in the genes of paying attention to people's concerns when they say that they discriminated against and we need to start i think in a stroller and userland keeping i list of hate crimes a national register paying attention when somebody says this horrible thing happened to my sister on the bus somebody pays attention and we treat it seriously so that there's lots of practical things to do but it's an ongoing process it's a struggle frankly that is never over like all of our sponsors to hatred and to a great center rational thea. was saying a very good start now and that's the cards you've got in the story right greg barton we thank you for speaking just now during the rest of the day's news and still ahead on the al-jazeera news hour in the human cost of war we follow one yemeni family's plight also ahead. i'm florence louis in northern thailand a political stronghold of a party that was removed by

a military coup almost five years ago and the people here are vowing to turn up in huge numbers to vote in the upcoming election. and want to support the biggest names announced as her retirement home will have the details a little later. but first your leaders have agreed to offer the u.k. two options for the labor exit beyond the current departure date in seven days time if prime minister to resign may can convince politicians to approve her withdrawal deal which they've rejected twice then bracks it will be moved to may the twenty second if they vote it down again the u.k. could lurch out of the e.u. on april the twelfth or instantly reports from brussels. if brics it is supposed to be about taking that control then what's happened at this summit was nothing short of a humiliation for the reason may she turned up assuming the european union would grant her a short extension to the brics it planned. the language from everyone else was more

or less the same ok a short extension they said with a sigh but only if you get your deal past the most threatening language have been coming from the french who would threaten to veto any delay such was their frustration but their president also warns that this was the last chance he didn't get just. if there is to be an extension he can only be a technical one we cannot has a long lasting situation where there is no visibility no path and no political maturity the mess be a deep political change a day to be anything else other than a technical extension. but when make gave her pitch it all went wrong she refused to tell the other leaders what she would do if a plan fails yet again so she was ushered from the room in the e.u. started to change its plans there's a fairly even split between those who believe that if her deal collapses next week for the final time to reason they will simply throw caution to the winds and

announce that the u.k. is leaving the european union with no deal it's all others who think that is simply so inconceivable that she must have some sort of alternative arrangements e.u. leaders asked straight out at this meeting if she had a plan b. and as usual she refused to answer. the e.u. assumes she will lose her vote again not least because in her address to the british people she managed to blame parliament for not agreeing with infuriating the very politicians whose support she needs. it all meant by midnight they were heading home with a new plan if the deal policies the u.k. leaves in may if not brics it day moves from next friday to april that's well that gives parliament's more time to get the prime minister out of the way and find a new plan and that could lead to the u.k. staying in the e.u. for the rest of the year. terms of the key date in terms of the u.k.

deciding whether to hold utopian parliament elections. slow decided to do so but. the option of a longer extension will automatically become impossible if this involves a further extension it would mean participation in the european parliamentary elections as i've said previously i believe strongly that it would be wrong to ask people in the u.k. to participate in these elections three years after voting to leave the e.u. nobody needs reminding that no deal with me the land border crossing garland into jeopardizing years of peace backlogs for essential goods going in and out of the u.k. economic and social instability inside the european union what happened here was that the e.u. gave the british parliament more toy to stop its all from happening and the prime minister could be on her way out lauralee al-jazeera brussels the us president

donald trump says it's time his country recognized israel's sovereignty over the golan heights which it captured from syria more than fifty years ago it's estimated that twenty thousand israelis live there and about thirty settlements as well as twenty thousand syrians who are mostly part of the druze sect the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu thanks for what he described as a historic move well israel and syria have fought two wars over the golan heights the key conflict was in june one thousand nine hundred eighty seven when after defeating egypt and jordan israel captured the area from syria six years later syria attacked and tried to regain control but was repelled in one nine hundred seventy four syria and israel signed an agreement establishing a un buffer zone then in one thousand nine hundred eighty one israel announced there was an exciting the golan heights this has never been recognized by the rest of the world mike hanna reports from washington. the closeness of the israeli u.s. relationship and the trumpet ministration emphasized the u.s.

secretary of state becomes the most senior u.s. diplomat to a company and it's really a leader toward jews call the western wall flanking the haidar musharraf one of islam's holiest sites might pompei a state department signaling what was to come by referring to israeli control of the golan heights rather than israeli occupation and more than half a century of u.s. policy reversed by one presidential tweet after fifty two years it is time for the united states to fully recognize israel's sovereignty over the golan heights says president trump which is of critical strategic and security importance to the state of israel and regional stability replete groups will for review. unbelievable and unmatchable support for our security and our right to defend ourselves we will double our efforts to make sure that we protect all of this

important what is important to israel what is important to america and indeed all that is important to the world some those see this as a dangerous u.s. move in a deeply sensitive region this from a former state department spokesman for probably who concludes he's not advancing the peace process he's killing it president crown statement international or rather the printer by you in charter which specifically states that any territory forcibly occupied cannot be legally admit. that is a principle argued by the us in the un with regard to the russian invasion of crimea the contradiction apparently ignored by president trump but welcome by the israeli prime minister who's standing has just received a major boost ahead of next month's elections in israel. or shinton. or p.j. crowley served both as u.s.

assistant secretary of state and a senior national security council spokesman he tweeted this once again real donald trump allegedly the great negotiator able to secure a better deal for the united states makes a major concession to israel without any corresponding move that advances american regional interests he's not advancing the peace process he's killing it and p.j. crowley is joining us from washington thanks for speaking to us just first can you explain your tweet. well the golan heights is one of what we would have term a final status issue with respect to the the notion of a a peace agreement between israel and syria it's hard to imagine that happening you know in the in the current circumstance given the ongoing syrian civil war you know but it is the it is the fact that the united states is taking these actions in the absence of any process that advances american interest which has been you know to

achieve israeli security but part of that is by by reaching agreements with israel's neighbors that allows israel to exist to be secure but the region to be stable this is not going to stabilize situation it's going to least politically royal it how much do you think this move by donald trump tweets right now we don't know if it's going to be translated into policy. but how much do you think it has to do with this this deal of the century that his son in law is putting together. well i think if it was just a tweet absent the fact that the secretary of state you know stood next to the israeli prime minister and listened to the prime minister thank america for a change in policy it is more than that in obviously the prime minister is coming to washington next week and i would expect this to be a major topic of conversation it it doesn't change the facts on the ground the

trumpet ministration is right and as you have reported you know israel has controlled you know the golan heights you know for decades it is that it's hard to see how util actual lead a lot of real action absence any kind of broader process. advances these this tour it's the ultimate objective which is. recognition by the arab states of israel's right to exist. so it's hard to see how this advances the the process and as to your your question you know it's hard to see how. you know you know peace plan is going to be popular in any place other than you know within the israeli government u.n. resolutions are very clear on this issue and israel in fact occupies the golan heights does not control it and resolution for nine seven specifically declare as israel's onyx

a center of the golan no and void that's just further isolates the us from the international community it doesn't nonce and what does the international community do in the face of the us going against un security council resolutions. well as your reporting indicated it certainly is hard for the united states argue that israel is entitle to to take over sovereignty of the golan heights while also arguing that russia does not have that right with respect to to crimea so it it directly undermines sake or interest of the united states i think what it really does is it it further erodes american status in the region it's very hard for the united states after the universe unilateral decision with respect to the american embassy and now respect the golan heights to argue that it remains. a neutral arbitrator in terms of all these issues you know the trump administration

has tilted very decisively towards israel and that is going to undermine american interests and it's stature with respect to the rest of the region p.j. crowley we thank you for speaking to us on al-jazeera of vigils been held for at least one hundred people who died in iraq after the ferry they were traveling on capsized in the northern city of mosul it was carrying families who were celebrating no ruse that's the person new year most of the victims are women and children that's also been a reports from baghdad. hundreds of iraqis were celebrating the no ruse holiday at an amusement park in mosul when tragedy struck. images on social media reveal a distressing sea after a ferry carrying an estimated two hundred people capsized a distraught husband and father begs the police to take him to the banks of the tigris river and now i don't know if they're my own novel my family through the

water right now my wife and my daughter and i'm asking the police to be a right to go to the other side but they will give me one. bystanders were screaming some were jumping into the room. to try to rescue people some passengers could be seen swimming furiously against the swift current. in the immediate hours after the ferry capsized the death toll kept rising the ministry of interior noted that many of the dozens of victims were women and children the iraqi prime minister has called for an immediate investigation into the cause of the accident however iraqi civil defense says it appears it was due to the ferry carrying more passengers than the maximum capacity recommended this ferry accident appears to be unprecedented in iraq it's also yet another misery to be endured for the people of war ravaged mosul who have already lost so much natasha going to.

baghdad an explosion at a chemical factory in eastern china has killed at least forty four people and injured about ninety others it happened to me and chang and jennings and province that's a coastal area north of shanghai people living nearby say their windows were smashed by the force of the blast a germ brown joining us from beijing what are you hearing about this accident. well i think it's possibly fair to assume that the death toll is going to rise because of those ninety people who are injured at least thirty two of them are described as being in a critical condition now some of the injured we know are children there were five schools within a ten kilometer radius of this blast and this was an explosion by the way it was actually felt more than forty kilometers away it was an explosion that had the power of a small earth tremor in fact china's earthquake administration says it recorded

a magnet shoot three quake on thursday afternoon which is when this explosion happened now we're getting more details of how the fire happened where it happened it apparently happened in a part of the factory where benzene is produced there was a fire there and as a result of that there was this huge fireball and explosion and workers were trapped in there we don't even know if there are still workers trapped inside the plant we know the fire has now been brought under control but there's a lot of rubble that this explosion created a number of children they say are being treated in hospital and what this disaster is once more underscored i think is the fact that you have these chemical plants producing some of the most dangerous chemicals known to man close to where people are living this was the case in tinge in august two thousand and fifteen in northeast china where one hundred sixty five people were killed after an explosion

at a chemical storage plant so this is beginning to look you know very familiar adrian brown an update from beijing thank you. manas stories we have coming up on the al-jazeera news hour we'll hear from a war of our reporters in southern africa of the worst hit areas a week after cycle on a dime. and one of the legends of baseball size goodbye to his home crowd in tokyo after a twenty eight year major league career. we got some rather wet weather in the full cost parts of central and southern china this thick band of plaids in the process of sinking its way further south what's going to bring a fair bit of rain there into eastern parts of china twelve celsius the high for

one hundred people who died in iraq after the ferry they were travelling on capsized in the northern city of mosul it was carrying families who were celebrating. khartoum after egypt's government offered bids for oil and gas exploration in the red sea so some of the bids are in the disputed triangle the area which is controlled by egypt has been claimed by sudan since the one nine hundred fifty s. making it a source of contention between the two neighbors. a trail of death damage and flooding is devastating southern africa one week after cycling through mozambique zimbabwe and malawi have been hit the hardest more than one point seven million people are affected many have lost their homes spending days without food or water two hundred forty two have died in mozambique alone that number is expected to rise

and the government says fifteen thousand people many of them still need to be rescued in zimbabwe the death toll has jumped to one hundred thirty nine and the rain is still falling roads and bridges have collapsed making humanitarian operations difficult and the u.n. says two hundred thousand people need urgent food aid for three months and fifty six people have died in malawi eighty two thousand are displaced and there are now fears of disease in a moment we'll hear from tony demler who have been in and around beirut in mozambique her with us as in zimbabwe she's going to report from kabul which isn't far from the town of to pinch but first this report from markham web he's in one of mozambique's worst hit places these two sun tangled districts. cyclamen die ripped through roads and washed away bridges. journey from barrow. began in small boat made of tree bark. then

a few kilometers down the road another broken bridge. the cyclamen split central mozambique into islands cut off from road access. we met machree on a sire who hasn't seen a husband for storm networks are cut off and made the crossing to find him. it is good but what choice do we give what choice do i give. this day something that is happy in the hand being us the actual helping us to cross to get food. people need to cross to reach loved ones or food so they find whatever ways they can offer to reach broken bridge we paid to ride in more type of vehicles we could find most people here don't have the means to travel far like this when we reach low lying planes but the storm damage is worst this river

burst its banks. there is total devastation homes have been destroyed crops. by the wind and rain field off the field of them completely destroyed so a lot of people here will be very hungry. more than three quarters of mozambicans live on less than two dollars a day many people here are subsistence farmers. what's left in the field was their food for the year ahead. he held. the only sign of it helicopter makes one circle and flies off possibly an aid agency taking a survey people can only hope they'll soon bring food and shelter. but with so much damage to the roads it'll have to come by at. the last broken bridge just before has been made possible with some blown down cables. and ten year as the

money's trying to reach the town check on his family. hundreds of died. i'm a survivor but i have suffered too much not just physically but also psychologically traumatized is the first time i've seen a cycle of this now people can travel a little families are trying to reunite many people are still missing it will take a long time for mozambique to recover from cyclonic die malcolm webb al-jazeera insists and then the district. this is the primary school on the outskirts of deraa it's now home to about four hundred people forty one families it's been made homeless by the cycle own their homes were ripped apart by the cycling with the strong winds and you see around the corrugated iron roof and rips apart on thursday they got their first regular food three square meals for the first time in five days but they're going out of water they are relying completely on local n.g.o.s

for their food and their water but i suppose in some ways they're the lucky ones in the hinterland is a far different case three hundred sixty thousand people are at risk and the problem is getting food and clean water to those people which is proving extremely difficult now these kids are making the most what they can but people are living on roofs in the hinterland sickly around places like. the problem is that although the water line is going risky was can't get to them they don't have sufficient means now more helicopters will come on friday and saturday more teams will come in and that will help people but still some massive operation here the death count at the moment stands at something like two hundred seventeen but the president of mozambique estimates that it's going to be far in excess of a thousand so that is a big problem the massive operation here so this is not over the water is going the weather is improving but still the challenge is to help the people who are most at risk and that's a problem now is also additional cross a problem lot the bosy there. large reza was actually filled to overflowing now

they have to release the waters in a controlled way if they do that in the wrong way it could cause a massive surge and cause additional problems in those areas so problems are improving the problems are still there for the people of mozambique. in the speech and this is a lot of people being stranded in that sea have been. it's to get a chance into the last six hours yet we haven't. seek medical attention now there was a number of n.g.o.s and relief organizations present there are trying to assist you as they possibly can but the demand become great that you almost concrete bunkers one of the main issues is that he's a pretty dry land or some of the toughest and he could have just that risk people and sometimes to keep it the way you have down to your aid to the. local fisherman

using his boats to get across the board to use each risking his many people. in the last days of his rescue the mountain. people he says you need to do this because it's great he's not able to take his way to grieve over my section to assist him you know you take people you can see in many instances haven't eaten in to be stranded in the flood of. these rocks and boulders they never used to be here this used to be a busy bustling busy center and then cyclonic happened leaving behind all this destruction all the stiffness station and all the grief the water was so powerful it managed to drag parts of a bridge which was nearly a kilometer away from the area is shows you how strong the raging water was now

people are trying to find out how many of their loved ones are dead and way the people who are who are missing we don't know exactly how many people are missing but what we've seen throughout the day is people coming going through these boulders walking through these parts trying to figure out was this a place where my house used to be if it was is a possible that maybe someone i think you may be missing may be buried underneath the boulders or buried underneath the mud if they know it's going to take a long time for officials to come here andrea. all of this debris if it ever happens right now the focus for rescue operations is that they want to find as many people alive as possible they want to try and get food and medical supplies to people as quickly as possible we've seen a lot more here the copters flying around the area and a sign that perhaps more people will be coming in to the place but in this particular area they said so far they have received no direct help from government officials or from aid agencies in terms of food blankets clothes etc but they are

hoping that come soon for the moment though it is a moment of grief families or survivors have managed to come back to the area trying to find out more about their loved ones and some are even trying to rebuild their homes and try to move on their lives. it's been almost four years since the. start of its military offensive against the rebels in yemen the war has taken a toll on millions of people who are on the brink of starvation gupta has the story of one little girl and her family has offered to keep her alive. afirm is ten years old and weighs just nine kilos that's a third of what a girl of her age should weigh lack of food has taken its toll our five can no longer go to school she's too weak she's also had to fight hepatitis probably through drinking dirty water. mask and

the war and now we get them for thirty five hundred rails and sugar we used to get a pack for two thousand reals and now we get it for five to five thousand five hundred and the price of wheat is going up to nine to ten thousand there are many more children like afaf in yemen today so many a man nourished making them easy prey for diseases like cholera. doctors in this and a hospital struggle to cope more than hundred suspected cases have turned up in just one day. and the lives of so many depend upon peace especially here in the fight to port at who they're eighty percent of yemen's food in need comes into the sport there was supposed to be a truce between the hooty rebels and the yemeni government forces backed by the u.a.e. and saudi arabia but fighters have not withdrawn from the city so relief for off of
