6:09 pm
a reminder that they live in one of the most cycloid prone of australia we've dodged a bullet but you know this is the sort of stuff that happens in this area or end when it does he does it you know it creates a significant amount of damage you know how about people's preparations for this everyone takes this very seriously look at complacency is a worst thing that can happen in a community end and dead the community itself pulled together and they got very prepared for the cycle and so you know what we will well prepared for there is also the economic impact of storms like this one this part of western australia provides much of the world's iron ore and a lot of it goes through places like port hedland normally the horizon here would be full of cargo ships waiting to take iron ore out to the world's markets and the speculation that this disruption will of caused doc all effect even to steel production in china it may only be temporary but it is

6:11 pm
get a real idea of the power and severity of this psycho namie flooding that followed by this area this entire area as far as you can see was covered in water it destroyed everything around here the power here even pushed off this car off the road and miraculously the driver escaped he swam to safety but it destroyed about one hundred meters a road that had been you rebuilt by the chinese the road was cut for a week on sunday it reopened after chinese contractors and local workers worked day and night to build a new stretch and restore a vital lifeline that serves malawi zambia and zimbabwe does the road being damage it's bad for them you can see we have a situation like better see it is well for us to get poor relief help these kids are difficult but they are like a seed for was the greek and they also for the good come to the neighboring countries in order six really important. food is needed everywhere and mina and her sister regime there live next to the road their home was destroyed in the surge
6:12 pm
that swept the road away they said the water was up to their necks and they had to climb trees to survive but there aren't and cousin drowned and those did you get the men are very nice that one she told me that she thought she was going to die that day but since then they have received no help or food or shelter she says she prefers to stay here with family in hardship rather than go to beer with nothing that. is the same story for hundreds perhaps thousands of people who prefer to live in makeshift shelters close to where their homes once stood. mozambique is relying on the outside world for help but local people are rallying around to to help their fellow countrymen at this church in bira they were collecting money and food for the victims. a separate will be and that is that it's going to take time to recover our houses were basic but they were not built in one day or a week you will need more time five years ten years it will depend on what people

national government has released two million dollars to help other kenyans are making donations through different initiatives there's a rush to get out to those who need it most of this is the drought that's what i. was wondering when i was there i was the primary pang of the old rules about how the government has responded to this crisis. droughts cattle rustling in conflicts over what had postures are common in this vast region with an incredibly difficult tearing local government has spend millions of dollars sinking ball holes trucking water to those who need it and setting up a culture projects official say harvesting and storing water in dom's will help but there's just not enough money to be dams will request a shell of. m for priorities of the people. you do budgeting in the produce of a people you do people care less it only money toward that then you and freeze

a problem because if you question is a problem. aid workers also say convincing donna's to invest in a long time projects to deal with climate change has been hard the acceleration of a full climate changes fast and i would capacity to to cope and respond he's not as quick as it should be and therefore we are very much in entering into it to a vicious circle where we are looking at short term solutions addressing the effects of the crazies and not in the city did the root causes of the crisis but for now the focus is getting immediate help to families that have nothing but these wild foods to eat but many villages still with us they want more they say they need a lasting solution if they are to survive what has become a cycle of devastation catherine saw al-jazeera to camera north western kenya

c.f.l. on the base something in the government social ministry was recently implicated in a monumental corruption scandal but civil society groups say the wholesale scrapping of programs for the pool is not. and some worry there are other motivations well my concern is that is really an attempt to concentrate power to have all the social programs in their hands to be a political platform i mean that if you really committed to transparency and avoids corruption will be transparent spread in the sense of the of a new feature of the of the new of the new programs that you're putting together none of that so far. the new programs he's talking about include expanded help for students the old and those with disabilities the president it seems does will social programs just ones bill to his own design john home and out is it a scarcity.

after a rocket attack north of tel aviv is vowing to respond with force. and al-jazeera investigation uncovers close links between america's biggest gun lobby and some australian politicians. beyond ending misery caused by four years of war we look at yemen the shattered economy and its impact on people in school one of baseball's most sought after players has had a financial run mike trout has landed a record breaking four hundred and thirty million dollars deal with the los angeles angels. now the firing of a rocket into
6:50 pm
a house north of tel aviv has prompted israel's prime minister to cut short a visit to washington d.c. but he may netanyahu will meet donald trump in the next few hours before returning home he's already talked of responding with force israel's foreign ministry says the single rocket was fired from gaza early monday morning seven people are reported to have been injured all of this comes two weeks before elections in israel who was to have spent several days in washington stephanie decker has more for us now she joins us live from west jerusalem for first of all stephanie what's the word from gaza on the rocket fire. well there's been no official claim of any of the factions that they carried out what is one of the longest range rockets that has been fired over the last couple of years sami and the only official statement we have is from islamic jihad one of
6:51 pm
their leaders warning israel against any form of attack of response they called it on gaza because they are ready to retaliate now we are seeing movement in gaza like usually when you do expect retaliation from israel hamas is evacuated its headquarters its positions also its leaders are not moving around as much as you would expect any form of normal day let's say yes in moore who's the leader of hamas was scheduled to give a speech in the next couple of hours to mark the one year anniversary which is coming up this weekend of the great march of return which is of course the border protests that have been ongoing for the best part of a year now he has counseled that everyone is expecting israel to do something there's a lot of pressure on the israeli prime minister here sadly you mentioned there he will be returning to israel after meeting donald trump we have had escalations in the past where it goes up and down there's a response there's a cease fire but now you have calls at the time of the election that is that the
6:52 pm
president by netanyahu sorry is not doing enough that he needs to deal with this with a stronger hand so we're going to have to wait and see what kind of response they're going to take it's particularly steffen the pressure for a military escalation waters on because what's on the table. absolutely what has happened in the paul sam is that you will see an escalation particularly by airstrikes for example the last escalation we had just over a week ago one hundred targets were hit inside gaza but again there were no casualties there were empty buildings there were empty land what people are talking about now is the potential because of the pressure on netanyahu because of the fact that it hit the civilian home and the pictures coming out in the israeli media putting even more pressure on the israeli prime minister is perhaps talking of an escalation militarily that will see there's calls for example for a return to the israeli previous policy of targeted assassination on hamas leaders
6:53 pm
