frustration but their president also warns that this was the last chills. just some promote good c.d.'s if there is to be an extension you can only be a technical one but we cannot have a long lasting situation where there is no visibility no and no political majority the measures be a deep political change for there to be anything else other than a technical extension. but will 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 wind 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 hope votes again not least because in her address to the british people she managed to blame parliament for not agreeing with her infuriating the very politicians who support she needs. it all meant by midnight they were heading home with a new plan if the deal passes the u.k. leaves in may if not brics it day moves from next friday to april the twelfth 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. for a prove the key date in terms of the u.k. deciding whether to hold utopian parliament elections. decided to do for. the option of a longer extension for automatically become impossible if this involves

a further extension it would mean participation and 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 would mean a land border crossing island 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 time to stop its all from happening and the prime minister to be on her way out lawrence lee al jazeera brussels. the un's describing the flooding disaster in southern africa as hugely complex and it says it will require an even more complex response fifteen thousand people many of them still stranded more than a week after struck. traveling through one of the west. this isn't

a district in western mozambique close to the border with zimbabwe. cyclamen it i ripped through roads and washed away bridges. journey from para. 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 honest who hasn't seen her husband through three storm mobile networks are cut off and she made the crossing to find him. it is good but what choices do we give what choice do i give to the at least three something that is happening with the locals the happiness 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. 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. 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 subsistence farmers. left in the field was there food for the year ahead. he held. the only sign of it helicopter makes one circle then flies off possibly an aid agency taking

morning. nostalgia i don't think he's a search and rescue operations are progressing at a pace at which the relief organizations would like much of the time so why has been sent so again the extent of the devastation taking out a number of reconnaissance helicopters to see exactly what's happening and it's been difficult in fact to them to determine just the the range or the extent of the destruction we do know now based on satellite images that are really going to have obtained that that area stretches about one hundred and twenty five kilometers from barrow into and we are now at the port in vera we emit a call center has been set up and people here are so huge so far they've seen about five hundred people in the last two days but they expect that number to go up to about fifty thousand and that's of course based on people being able to make it to

clear out when the it with the help of people in vera or with it's with the relief organizations but in many instances quite difficult for them to get out there to offer the help that's desperately needed to meet it was sixty thousand expected in coming days that that's a huge number how hard he's coping there. is a significant need and because these operations are ongoing as quickly as they possibly could to be they say they are also overwhelmed behind us we have the indian navy assisting at this medical center they didn't work to mozambique after that looks like lone had here to knowing just how great the demand here would be the united nations and set up about thirty seven facilities in various areas to help people there and they could. hands of thousands of people we know that there are many still stranded small pieces of land because they there's very little space

to maneuver there's also very little land for helicopters to to actually land and help people in need these these really look at these facilities that have been set up these transit camps that have been set up are just there to distribute food they aren't able to offer the medical assistance necessarily that's needed just because of the logistical difficulties in getting to these hard hit areas desires for me. in mozambique for us thank you for that update anita. well in zimbabwe the floods have cut off communities making it hard for help to reach them reports from qatar where many are still looking for their missing relatives. they say they can't wait any longer for authorities to help them find their relatives so they are digging themselves up a village in eastern zimbabwe has completely changed. or dark these boulders never used to be here the shops schools and government offices are gone. after cycling

through the community it's now an eerie gravesite my nephew. who was working at the clinic was now living. under structures this is the model. and. you can see him. he's wife in which four children. among the four children. but people are. under the stones where the people. community leaders say people climb trees in a desperate attempt to stay alive but a huge rolling boulders crashed into them throwing them down into the fast moving water below. it's frustrating a lot of people are missing they could be under the stones yesterday

a child's body was found in the mud there are people buried here cyclonic di is a worse storm to hit zimbabwe since like ilene nearly twenty years ago the impact was devastating it slipped away an entire community some people were sleeping at the time survivors say it happened just after nine pm on friday the water came from that direction and it kept rising and rising very quickly some people ran to a police camp which was near this area for safety but the water was too powerful and swayed. many of them away the floods ravaged several parts of eastern zimbabwe completely transforming parts of minicon and province it really has changed the landscape of this reform. as you know most of the bridges have been washed away. or certainly the entrances approaches to the bridges have been washed away this makes bringing in the humanitarian aid more challenging and this is how people now get across to what used to be a business center the precarious makeshift bridge is meant to be temporary until

a more permanent structure is built as long as this place is difficult to reach by road people here say they have to improvise there is an official death toll for the province but community leaders fear once the missing are accounted for that number could be much higher those who haven't found their relatives say they won't stop looking for them survivors believe those who were swept away cheering the floods are buried somewhere under these boulders and mud. zimbabwe. brazil's former president michel tamar has been arrested in connection with the country's corruption scandal has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing his arrest as part of a larger investigation into corruption and racketeering and that's led to several politicians and business leaders being detained a new study is revealing troubling trends in the u.s. opioid epidemic the situation has moved into a more deadly third wave john hendren reports from chicago. it is one of the

americans every day this police video shows a man near death in skokie illinois revived by the drug nor can which many police in the country now carry a few song signs grains of fentanyl are enough to kill most people when they do overdose the lucky ones end up at places like stroger hospital in chicago but many don't make it at all in terms of the sheer volume it's really the biggest we've had that the rate of rise of fatalities in cook county has just stepped up up on in twenty fifteen we had about six hundred sixty five fatalities the next year we had eleven hundred and for the past year we're collecting the statistics on it looks like it'll be at least at that level maybe able to hire us police say the strength of fentanyl they're recovering from black market drug dealers are powerful than ever meaning its victims could in time be counted in the millions john hendren

and boys were killed in a campaign of genocide against poles noone was thems when on wednesday the seventy three year old lost his appeal against a forty year sentence u.n. court in the hague increase that to life behind bars survivors of the massacre celebrated but many both still regard courage as a hero son your gager reports now from the hague. the faces of the dead of the strip it's a massacre remembered by their loved ones victims of the genocide perpetrated by bosnian serb leader radovan cottage which it has taken nearly twenty five years for justice to be realized a painful journey often bereft of hope but learn excellent but the wait has finally come to an end kind of listened intently as the court listed his grounds for appeal and rejected them almost entirely the prosecution's appeal in a lot of respects sets aside charges to prod and order wrong side to sending the

sentence of forty years of imprisonment and imposes just two pradhan goes into sending a sentence of life imprisonment. outside the tribunal it was a decision welcomed by all who had gathered there but the suffering is never far away for this is or someone like us or they go about what i am satisfied but i want to ask which school did they go to to learn how to kill our children our sons our husbands i am satisfied but then again i am not because i no longer have my children. in step and itself tears of relief fell for the tribunals and ousted would increase kind of sentence. this is one of the last remaining rulings dealing with the brutal breakup of yugoslavia and the sentencing of that i had a church is also being seen as a crucial test holding to factor leaders to account for crimes committed during

conflicts in the case has been one of the most high profile legal battles of the yugoslav was more than eight thousand muslim men and boys was slaughtered in the strip and it's a massacre it was the worst genocide to have taken place in europe since world war two well the town has become symbolic of the very worst atrocities that took place in the balkans during the war it has also been a milestone for the legal consequences that followed it took twenty years and let's hope it's not going to take twenty years for syria for gay men for all of these other places where similar atrocities being committed we as an international community have to be more committed to bring justice to defectives way sooner than twenty years. will now spend the rest of his days behind bars his genocidal actions scarred an entire region and they leave behind

a legacy of anguish from which many will never recover. al-jazeera the hague. all right let's bring in our guests joining us from raleigh north carolina is yasmin. a political scientist a research as the balkans you know university in the reactor in croatia on skype is referee called such a journalist who's worked for the international center for transitional justice in the international criminal tribunal for yugoslavia and in toronto we have. a professor of humanities a religious studies at york university welcome to you all good to see you there we would like to start with with rough it with a rough week holds it because you are from an area that was at the very heart of the atrocities what does it mean to you to see this life sentence handed down. i think that one prevailing feeling is of.

a final. end of a stage in which a lot of our coverage in fact shaped our realities for now close to thirty years. he's been a figure who has first. committed the crimes and dehumanised most importantly an entire population of people in boston you know and left a legacy which lingers on today i think that his verdict especially the verdict which basically removes him from our midst effectively now opens this base for a new stage and it is a stage in which we will hopefully find strength to deal with the legacy york dehumanisation and genocide that he leaves behind a miller in toronto a new stage is welcome by all no doubt to try and seek out reconciliation but reconciliation does seem a long way off doesn't it it does allow us the legacy of another man carriages

persists and this is something that we have to address it is very difficult of course to undo history over the past thirty years but from now on there must be a way of addressing all those issues that have been left behind he might be now in prison for the for a very long time we don't really know but those who have supported him and those who have in fact built a reality on the ground are still around and bosnia is partitioned in that regard as well so that has to be addressed ok well let's give this some context now we can look at this the background to everything the bosnian war ended in one thousand nine hundred five with the dayton peace accords the aim was to ease ethnic tensions but they created one of the world's most complicated political systems in the process the country was divided into two entities the federation of by. and herzegovina and republika srpska bosniaks and croats form the majority in the

federation while republika srpska is eighty one percent. instead of one president bosnia has three they represent each ethnicity and share the job they're elected every four years and rotate in the post every eight months as well as the national parliament there are assemblies at the entity and it can tone levels each region has its own parliament and has its own ministers who govern by consensus yes been me out of it it's complicated to say the least and these ethnic divisions were largely frozen in place by the dayton peace accord when they and that is very much a problem. yes it is i mean it's a structural issue in bosnia herzegovina the ethnic partition as a mill is talking about has created a state where it's very difficult to imagine and in fact enact any kind of meaningful democratic change and which also impacts the possibilities for ordinary citizens to engage in meaningful reconciliation efforts as long as you have the

primary of political administrative units in the country being essentially solely based on the category of ethnicity which was also the purpose and indeed the intent of people like that of the one cottage to create such a state to create these bond the stunts as long as that remains the lived reality in bosnia herzegovina it's excrete extremely difficult to imagine bosnia becoming a functional democratic multi-ethnic and secular state as it should be right but to didn't deconstruct the system is likely to reignite and further inflame an already difficult situation. i think the reality is for most ordinary bosnians and heard to give any and they have lived with the consequence of. project for the better part of the last almost thirty years and they have lived every day the reality of the dayton peace accords i think there is a widespread albeit quiet recognition that meaningful change is long overdue for bosnia herzegovina obviously there's been efforts made very serious efforts to

allow those changes to take place within the framework of e.u. and nato enlargement and that is an absolutely integra part of the story but it must be said that sooner or later bosnia must undergo a process of constitutional change ideally that is a process that will be grassroots led but it will also necessarily involve a significant commitment on the part of the international community to facilitate that process happens in a peaceful manner for all involved what do you think about that what do you think about this process of constitutional change is that something that's going to be possible to achieve in the coming years yes i do think that the constitutional change is inevitable. it simply has to happen and i las i don't think it can happen only with the players in bosnia herzegovina it has to happen at international level it has to be over overseen it has to be in engaged in a way that in some ways it. pays attention to the fact that there is

a reality and some people in children who were born and grew up within this reality they cannot imagine a different bosnia and they need to in fact come to terms with the history that has actually created it and they need to move towards a civic society which is not which does not prioritize identity which does not prioritize who we are against others but rather civil society civil institutions civil values that have to be taught from scratch and that has to in fact i think be done with international recognition supervision and engagement and did a terrific odds that there are absurdities out there you have you have schools segregated with students attending the same school but going at different times so they avoid it oh look i think the issue here is that there has not been in fact an effort on part of any group including bosnian muslims and its leadership to in fact. do do legs york outages crimes so

far it seems that the elites have been happy to rule in their own fiefdoms which allows very much war. rampant corruption and control of their own resources if you look at the report because. you know places like korea that where i come from there is no effort to actually do to rule constant systematic effort to help people who have returned again. poor women or invest in fact in the integration of the country and that is one of the key problems that republika srpska has never been made by its partners at the state level to acknowledge what has happened and what crimes were committed or root beer its citizens or your boss and most in the crowds so in fact

i think this is why i see this moment as an opportunity to actually change the paradigm completely not simply to expect that somehow by miracle people will wake up one day and say oh yes genocide with committed lies and what is that change that like what is changing the paradigm look like in my opinion first of all we have to accept that if we are to insist on constitutional changes today out of the context that exist it is very unlikely to happen without major major international pressure whether that pressure is realistic to accept expect or not i really cannot say but what can be done again are steps in. knowledge in the crimes that were done repairing the victims repairing the communities which

were destroyed and having that process in fact catalyze what the miller is talking about in terms of civil society engagement that can lead to a situation where constitutional change that is required is in fact possible when the look of constitutional changes what i'm after. that what's your view of that how would it shape up at the moment we have three presidents how would we change that well i mean again i think we should be reticent at this stage in particular to to not engage in sort of concrete blueprints or spell or concrete blueprints because that itself comes in a tremendous source of conflict. and acrimony and bosnia herzegovina unfortunately i think what needs to be emphasized is is something that. already gestured at that is that in so much as bosnia is continuously told to be a state with a european and indeed perhaps even one hopes i hope an atlantic future as well it

is a state that must move towards a meaningful liberal democratic reform i think in this way what it means is that there is and can and should be an accommodation between the rights of individuals on the rights of communities and certain kinds of ethnic rights and certain kinds of ethnic interests as it were but you cannot have this kind of. tarion state that we have at present given it can and should look to states like south africa which have gone through similar experiences of dealing with with tremendous trauma tremendous historical injustices in the past even places like canada which obviously deal with a multiplicity of communities crimes and indeed a cultural genocide that was can be committed against the indigenous peoples in canada as well so there's a multiplicity of examples that are available to us but what it requires is the first step to get to everything that both if he can amila have been talking about is a joint commitment a joint campaign of pressure building both at the grassroots local level in bosnia

herzegovina and of course a meaningful commitment to meet in pull reaching out on the part of key international states to say that yes this is possible yes we will accommodate this and yes we will support these efforts so that bosnia can become a vibrant multiethnic liberal democracy right and this is a member of the presidency that will not go to the he has said that the yugoslav war crimes court was designed to build trust among both new form a wall for years but is instead driven them further apart that seems to be true. yes i think that we can criticize of course of the course and we can criticize the whole procedure and how long it has taken but i think it's extremely important to acknowledge on the one hand it's symbolic power and also it's put its potential to become a platform for change symbolically of course it sends a message that if you do such things you will not be treated as a natural disaster it is not as if some terrible metaphor fell on the bosnia and

destroyed the communities it is an act of political systematic project of genocide of removal of the humanisation as if he mentions and so on so forth so this way there is an agency and there is a person and there are people who are held responsible and therefore it is a message it's a symbolic message that such things should be held accountable by international community it's also i think symbolic in the sense that we should be just saw in new zealand what has happened there is an inspiration to this has leaked over into into international scene perhaps surreptitiously but it's out there we need to come together as a as an international community that upholds certain of bad news about the. human rights about the value of human life and proceed from there so dog at this point of course will have hess to find a way of both acknowledging that that's process had to happen but also that it is

now fault and this is not unusual i mean it is not unusual to see denial that there is any legitimacy in this but legitimacy has been given an international seal and i think that is a very powerful statement that international community can now go with and then started the process of change that both yasmeen and talk about and i think is immunity it has to happen right away. you brought up the sort of nationalism was going to move on to the concept of white supremacy. talked about new zealand in the suspect in new zealand's mosque attacks it seems was inspired by kurdish and seven nationalist heroes. at home and away from the region candidates his extremist ideas still gain a lot of traction especially in this this changing world of leaders who have these nationalistic visions i agree i think that. the key

concept here is the dehumanization of muslims that cottage has shaped as an ideology which allowed for all these crimes of extermination and genocide to take place because don't forget we had decades of living in the concept of brotherhood and unity and in order for people to be able to actually engage in this convo allan's against their neighbors their neighbors had to be dehumanized to the level of vermin that needed to be removed for death kind of just went into history and found examples many examples of the suffering of the people and of the ottomans or was the shows in in the second world war to basically send a message that these were dissing people who inflicted this suffering on the serbs on the christians and that they could not live together these are the messages that brant brant and tyrant and the rest break dick and the white supremacist across the

world are taking as their own messaging in dealing with quote unquote invaders muslims who they see as a foreign cancerous body in. christian society and that is deeply deeply troubling and if that if that the humanization is not to burst at the source we are it was in fact implemented in boston then there is no way that. messaging. yasmine is that where you fits really occurred is that he played on the idea of this clash of super super bugs ations which seems to have a growing appeal to the dog corner of the world yeah absolutely i mean i think there's two points to be made the first is essentially what if it was just saying that we have to be cognisant the manner in which cottages serve alter nationalist

project in the project of of course his benefactor slobodan milosevic and serbia those who initiated these these genocidal campaigns of the one nine hundred ninety s. that project remains very much active and alive within the sort of narrative and ideological framework of the global far right and obviously it's having catastrophic and horrifying consequences for our friends and colleagues and you zealand and of course it's as if it was mentioning that this is not the first time that we have noted this not only was it present in the terrorist attacks in norway a number of years ago but of course for those of us who research and spend any time looking at the narratives and the discourses of the global far right the circle to nationals project of the one hundred ninety s. has become a major ideological pillar of how they understand the contemporary world it has arguably sort of entered. their mainstream their proverbial mainstream on par with things like the holocaust and the crimes of the nazis with things like the apartheid regime in south africa and zimbabwe the american confederacy things like

that so it's very much become a meme in the true sense of the word in their worldview the other aspect that must be acknowledged is that at this very moment the government is the government. that can and does her to goodness our rights and says he is at this very moment in gauging in an orchestrated an organized campaign of historical revisionism and denialism that features by organizing the so-called committee commission to reinvestigate the evidence of genocide in the broader crimes against humanity. took place in bosnia herzegovina as part of the broader bosnian genocide and that commission includes a number of individuals from from europe and from the wider world so there is a real global phenomenon there's a group real global resonance to what that other one cottage slobodan milosevic and all their cohort did in the one nine hundred ninety s. and it's and it's crucial that it be recognized as a an immediate threat to communities not just in the balkans or an end bus here is

having a but indeed everywhere where we value multiculturalism and multiethnic city. as a. carrot it is free to maybe go on but it seems his poisonous project if you like is still very much alive where do you find for optimism. cottage has indeed and his projects have destroyed so much of bosnia and we we touched upon of course the biological destruction the killing of people displacement we haven't mentioned much other forms of this genocide such as cultural destruction the which a loss under the u.n. banner is not to be named as cultural genocide. but nevertheless it is it's a form of saying you do not belong here and i will not just rewrite your theater i'm going to rewrite your history so displacement is is more complex you know there

is another of course yet another element and that is rape camps in which the idea of ethnic cleansing through impregnating nonsense women with serbian semen is a way of propagating greater serbian identity and so i so forth so the legacy has been both psychological and real in material and it does take a lot of costs trauma of course effort to to deal with it with those with with things that people feel i mean i think yesterday was in the a highly emotional day and i think that there was no really catharsis for say there was simply an acknowledgment this had to be somehow given a seal and then move let's move on but i think what the it what's something that ethic and yesman have already alluded to and that is the humanization that continues at schools you mentioned the segregation we have a situation where children are asked not to walk on the same street and don't not

others we call our appalling governments around the wards including new zealand. and the neighboring countries to bring in. to hate speech and the politics of fear will his sane came from australia for the event last friday two of his relatives were killed for touched by what would be a monastery and i think he was saying the right words. being given but not everyone in the park had a personal connection to a victim or even share their faith for many perhaps most of those who came here these would have been the first friday prayers they'd ever attended but came not because they're muslim but to show solidarity with the victims of last friday's attacks and islamic community of new zealand more generally many muslim women wore

a headscarf as an added mark of respect i just want to express myself this terrible time just how terrible made clear by the mass burial held on friday funerals for twenty six people in a single afternoon after thomas al-jazeera cross church. while tacky is hosting an emergency meeting of the organization of islamic cooperation in istanbul in the wake of the new zealand mosque attacks the turkish government called the meeting to address rise to be said by islamophobia new zealand's foreign minister spoke at that for whenever and wherever a terrorist strikes we know and you know the aim is to provoke fear and panic well in new zealand it is failed. it failed because al thoughts are not the terrorists thoughts. is extremist ways are not our ways and to be clear in new zealand hate speech is not tolerated

well everything else may have changed in our country on the fifteenth of march a few days ago. new zealand's essential character has not and will not. let's go now to sin and cos the owner who is live for us in istanbul so will talk us through what's emerge from this meeting president has just spoken. the world president aragon just finished his speech and today's meeting for the organization of islamic council was actually an emergency beating after this attack that happened in new zealand shortly present aired on a press that this attack cannot be classified as an ordinary crime as an ordinary murder but it has some more deep roots. and some other sentiments in this crime also we criticize the media coverage of the coverage of with western media because he says that he believes that the western media hasn't reacted properly

against this crime but he has some interesting issues that he has received from the e.u. said that this effect was actually. and that act of neo nazi movements and he saw that new nazi movement can no longer be treated as a political ideological movement but it should be treated you nazi movement it should be treated like as if it has something terrorist organization equals like i saw you k.k. or al shabaab in africa so you made the school that you are not synonymous which has something to islamic sentiments. hate of speech and that's why he made the school also he said that the world phones against the rising and the seventies and after the world war and he said right now on to islam islam is on the rise that's why the world international public should be fighting against

islamic sentiments as well and he made the call to i see members that they have to create a mechanism to fight against us and to islamic sentiments and on to islamic. reactions around the world and basically he may have made the call for the recent countries come together and give up for stance give a proper reaction against what's happened in new zealand and he said that this is not only a problem for them is the world but it is also a problem a security threat for the whole humanity and for the whole world out as terrorists and prosperity that lie for us in istanbul thank you senator. russia's foreign ministry says any change in the status of the occupied golan heights would violate u.n. agreements it follows u.s. president on a trans tweet saying it's time his country recognized israel's sovereignty over the region which it captured from syria more than fifty years ago it's estimated that twenty thousand israelis live there and about thirty in the eagle settlements as
