post or two from that written but true but everybody is told that i'm just putting it out about the point and you think to send the truth we're going to put it on hold saddam have to be done with out widespread public. import so that all can really wanted out but not of the moment but for the islamists i would say right now that i'm all in a position of influence all the time at about a day in a very noisy car to mamma thank you. are not also to come here in the news hour including mozambique sends out a warning to expiate in the wake of a second. week that one region in spain that's pinning its hopes for independence on the outcome of sunday's elections. and a supporter kevin durant's dominates to put the golden state warriors one step closer to the funding the n.b.a. talks.

about mozambique's government is urging people to seek higher ground just days after. the country forecasters are predicting heavy rain which could lead to flooding and mudslides in the coming days reports. weather experts say it was the strongest ever recorded in the most. cycling kenneth stormed in with terentia rain and wind surges of up to two hundred eighty kilometers per hour tearing off roofs ripping up trees and downing palin lines tens of thousands of people have moved to safety but many state. on the island of mozambique the red cross says the storm destroyed about ninety percent of homes with fifteen thousand people also seeking shelter. aid agencies are assessing the damage but warns that it may take time because many rural areas

a difficult to reach the same as it urgently but. it was. nine districts in the northwest province of mozambique there without power so we're still taking what level of damages. but. yeah i mean that the first news that first the haitian this is a good one the area. islanders further out in the indian ocean including the commerce chain of islands are also starting repair as the film is our houses have suffered a tremendous disaster everything was destroyed meteorologists expect more severe rain across northern mozambique threatening flooding and landslides. facts from kenneth may require a major news humanitarian operation at the same time that the ongoing cycle response targeting three million people in three countries remain critically on the

funding. it's the first time in recent history two storms have hit mozambique and one cycle in season six weeks ago likely to die devastated the south where more people live in neighboring malawi in zimbabwe were also hard hit killing at least a thousand people and leaving a trail of destruction the extent of the damage caused by this latest cyclon is still too early to say more about a manly al-jazeera south africa is marking twenty five years since the end of apartheid on this day in one thousand nine hundred four for the first time in the country's history people of all races were allowed to vote the president sort of a porter says the day of freedom won't be forgotten. the great tragedy of tate. i was raised with great deliberation. begins differently this is what was it and the scale of human endeavor and in.

order. to be able to it was that deep division. was when a protest broke out in the same town where the freedom day celebrations were taking place the demonstrators say they lack basic living standards and for them apartheid never ended. well some progress has been made since nelson mandela's revolution to end white rule but not nearly enough that's according to critics of the ruling african national congress port's now from johannesburg. mark them an e.c.g. members a feeling of euphoria in one thousand nine hundred four when apartheid ended and nelson mandela became south africa's first black president she believed ending a white minority rule would mean a better life for the poor black majority after decades of oppression since then she's been waiting for the government to provide her with a decent home and she hasn't managed to find work in years if she was hunter.

opened up my cupboards and see i have nothing no food i have to go outside and house in order to eat something before going to bed so why should i take my id book and go out there to vote when i'm suffering. in soweto township we meet siblings he said he was a member of the football club founded in the one nine hundred eighty s. by nelson mandela's wife winnie a group that was politically active during apartheid twenty five years after the end of racial segregation he says he's angry and disappointed with the african national congress led government. jobs. we are hungary is because of those guys not the. thing for the people to protest over poverty poor public services and unemployment happen almost daily there's a general election on may eighth and the a.n.c. is facing mounting public anger over its failure to improve the lives of millions

of black people we have not looked at people over no real knowledge we have while the success is not just of challenges. and all over the road to accuse us. but everything must be done within the law the legacy of apartheid where black people were considered inferior to whites and not given the same opportunities is partly why africa remains one of the most equal societies in the world since one thousand nine hundred ninety four more people do have access to clean running water education and healthcare even though many say those services are poor these are some of the houses are built by the government for the poor are provided for free others are subsidised millions of been built since one thousand nine hundred ninety four but there are still housing shortages blamed in many on corruption and millions of south africans continue to live in abject poverty they won the right to vote twenty five years ago today the struggle is with economic

freedom which many say still feels a long way off. but let's bring in lawson i do in johannesburg is a lawyer and former a.n.c. activist twenty five years now since the end of apartheid many observers say look some progress has been made by the government but the a.n.c. has come under growing criticism over things like unemployment jobs living standards is this criticism justified do you think. well i think the criticism is certainly justified i mean i think you know one has to start by saying that south africa today in twenty nineteen days is certainly a much better place than it was in one thousand nine hundred four but you know there are many many child does that remain issues of inequality poverty and in particular on employment and in particular unemployment among the young people is that made a major concern in south africa at this point in time it's a social source of social contestation lots of anxiety and frustration

amongst ordinary people in south africa who feel that more could and should have been done to alleviate their plight so whilst a lot has been achieved we have an awful long way to go to really realize the dream of freedom that our founding fathers and mothers had for the society yeah and many poor black people in south africa thought that with the end of white minority rule their lives would change for the better but millions of people say things have only got worse in south africa the economy is stagnant around is through the through in the country can't even provide enough electricity to consumers i mean so where is the hope going forward. well you know that's very very true but i certainly think as i said south africa is in a better place that it was yes we have huge. huge economic problems that we have to confront there's been very lackluster growth in recent times we're in a recession last year and employment is rising it's a state that has been captured for the for the better part of the last ten years

extensive levels of corruption and looting of state resources which have undermined the ability of government to to deliver basic services of. housing education and so on but again you know a lot has been achieved you know over sixteen million people save social grants in south africa now which is alleviated some of the plight of of poverty but you know there's a long long way to go in order to turn around the economy. foreign investment as well as to release local capital into the economy so that we can begin to create the jobs that can fulfill the dream of a better life for those of african people just a final thought from you i mean south africa has general elections in a few weeks time if people are so unhappy with the a.n.c. are we likely then to see parties like the economic freedom front in the democratic alliance the da make substantial gains in protest i suppose against the a.n.c. . well i mean you know the election is and in about ten days

time and you know it's being very closely fought and you know many people say this is going to be the most tightly contested election in our democratic era most analysts and pundits would predict that the a.n.c. would would would achieve a majority at a national level perhaps not as high as in previous elections where sixty two percent was the margin of the a.n.c. success in twenty fourteen and some of the key issues are going to be around unemployment and a general dissatisfaction amongst the population so it's a really going to be a question of how many people are going to be bothered to go out and vote on the on the eighth of may to give a full and proper mandates to an incoming incoming government to be able to deal with the many many social and economic ills that we confront twenty five years into democracy last night you thank you very much indeed for your time. but mexicans are

having to cope with unprecedented numbers of foreign migrants seeking a new life over the border in the united states many thousands of migrants are walked all the way from places like guatemala honduras and other countries despite warnings from donald trump that they're not welcome and some mexicans are running out of patience with the new arrivals to buy now as the story. outside a small church and mexico several dozen central american migrants are taking a break from the exhausting heat for most of these people faith centers like this church are among the few places left where they still feel welcome. notice it all in is from us and is here with eight members of her family she says she was recently chased down by mexican immigration agents and hasn't found much sympathy from the mexican people but when this they think we're criminals but we're not it's true there are all kinds of people in the caravans but we're being cursed for the sins of others some places we've been one even let us use the toilets and my kids

have been denied water how could you deny a child water we're all human beings. over the past few months in mexico there's been a shift in public opinion toward migrants many business leaders in the state of chiapas have closed their doors to central americans publishing videos online for training migrants is disease ridden criminals people in chiapas no longer come out to donate food and water like they once did it would appear the migrant caravans have worn out their welcome. to grow neatly veta also from a window to us says that without support from local communities migrant shelters are a last resort but the shelters can't provide for everyone. is that coming up we're going to say like oh now you were not on this journey because we want to hurt anyone and we're here because we want to better lives for our families we would never hurt anyone here in mexico they are brothers and we respect them but at the same time we wish they would stand by us because they do feel there is

a lot of discrimination against us migrants and that is not fair. several hundred migrants have gathered along the train tracks their goal is to head as far north as possible. we're standing atop a train car in the town of arriaga in southern mexico many migrants who are worried about being detained while walking on the side of the road will opt for hopping on one of these freight trains this one's called la or the beast but hopping on top of one of these trains carries its own risks and over the years many migrants have died falling off the sides of these train cars right. just before sunset migrants began to rush the train many of them women with young children. no longer feeling safe traveling in caravans it appears migrants are resorting to the back roads and train outs of the past even if it means a whole new set of risks. measured up and. mexico. time for

a short break here al-jazeera when we come back another case of alleged police brutality goes viral in the u.s. up to offices in florida caught on tape. why this year's election and byname has taken an interesting turn as voters prepare to head to the polls on sunday. and sports celtics celebrate the life of the hero of nine hundred sixty seven with a sixty seventh minute goal and then march towards the start of the title bar in the stay with us. hello there was generally quite quiet to over parts of the middle east at the moment you see a little bit of cloud just drifting its way across parts of iran but nothing too significant as you head out through afghanistan you see a little bit more in the way of cloud that could give us a few showers and still want to outbreaks of snow but all of that is clearing away for the west there's also only one or two showers around parts of turkey at the

moment i think those will intensify as we head into monday and some of the downpours will be rather lively but that's really the only regions of wet weather for the south though there's more cloud here and there's also more activity lots of thunder and lightning out of the cloud over parts. saudi arabia and is a drifting its way eastwards receive a fair amount of cloud and few outbreaks of rain here in doha as well that's still going to be with us the system as we head through the day on sunday so still a chance of seeing a few showers here but on monday it clears away and then off to that it looks like the temperatures will shoot up say thirty two degrees on monday but i hope to as we head through cheese day and wednesday down to a southern parts of africa of course we've seen all storm kenniff but it's largely disintegrated now there's just a few rather heavy showers to be seen most of those staying off the coast there will be more showers here as we head through the next few days and again some of them could be very heavy before the south is looking largely dry and at twenty four .

i am a tradition every weekly news cycle brings a series of breaking stories and then of course there's donald trump told through the eyes of the world's channelise that's right out of a hamas script that calls for the annihilation of israel that is not what that phrase means at all he joined the listening post as we turned the cameras on the media and focused on how they were caught on the stories that matter the most imbedded use a free palestine a listening post on al-jazeera. with a big breaking news story it can be chaotic trying to behind the scenes. people shouting instructions in your ear you're trying to provide the best most curious up to date information as quickly as you can. it's when you come off air on things thinking that you realize even witness history in the making.

welcome back a quick reminder the top stories here on the news hour as president just two groups accused of being involved in the easter sunday bombings which killed more than two hundred fifty people follows more raids and arrests across the aisle of. saddam's opposition is hopeful of reaching a deal but minute from transferring power a delegation representing protestors met army leaders to demand a civilian led government. mozambique's government is urging people to seek higher ground just days after saddam kind of battered the country. forecasters are predicting more heavy rain which could lead to flooding and mudslides in the coming days. now in less than

twenty four hours people in spain will head to the polls to vote in a general election one of the main issues is the independence movement for catalonia any in the region hopes sunday's results will help their cause well we have two correspondents following the election. is in the spanish capital we'll be speaking to her in a few minutes but first let's go to jonah hill who's in jonah of course catalonia is a region as a region essential to the national debate how could the election influence the reason do you think. potentially the result of this election could be decisive for independence aspirations here in catalonia it is an issue that has come to completely dominate the national debate and indeed the national election campaign it is pro independence and peas in the national parliament two largely triggered the snap election by withdrawing their support from the socialist government earlier this year in addition to that the

independents who has been a huge catalyst to the growth of the ultra conservative party the first far right party in spanish politics since the death of general franco forty years ago and the outcome of this election as i said could be decisive either a coalition of the right including vox determined to stamp out separatism in this country altogether or perhaps these probably depend its forces again lending their support to a left coalition led by the socialists perhaps just the faintest glimmer of hope of a possible negotiated settlement of some sort in future. letters of support arrived regularly after eighteen months in prison and on trial in madrid catalans haven't forgotten independence a former interior minister. and his wife laura and their daughters know the team hasn't forgotten them. doesn't it was us. saying that he hopes in next year. today that.

the trial of twelve cattle and independence leaders on charges of rebellion sedition and misuse of public funds follows the region's referendum and unilateral declaration of independence which was met by police violence in two thousand and seventeen it's taken on heavy significance for a movement struggling to reassert itself last in search of a way to achieve its goal. i see very clearly that people don't feel like compromising in this ends up giving up of recognizing a mistake or renouncing it i don't see that it is possible that some people may think that we need more time that it doesn't have to be an immediate thing but i don't see any reason nation at all if not now then what is to happen in the interim at the national level spain's socialist government may pay a heavy price in this weekend's election for its attempts to negotiate over

catalonia a surge in support for the far right nationalist brock's party risks dragging the entire political landscape to the right making a compromise over cattle and separatist aspirations seem less likely than ever if there is to the right and the radical right in spain everything is going to be more difficult because these parties in the right have the explicit proposal of imposing self rule on the money again so it's not going to be only a matter off of in the pan this project but they're very. very core of the government and the old don i mean that was recovered during their off of democracy and so perhaps inevitably there's a quiet shift towards a more pragmatic approach is this it is hard to see the republican unless the main political party of the roughly fifty percent of catalonia seen supporting independence some of its leaders as you can see are in prison addressing the crowd

here by live video link the message increasingly is that unilateral action didn't work the way forward now is through does long and political legitimacy. that means winning as many seats as possible in the national parliament and influencing change from within the dream of independence isn't getting any closer but it does remain very much alive. so a movement. in a sense searching for a way forward but make make no mistake a movement very well galvanized nonetheless and even the thing attracting support around another issue that is more immediate more present than independence itself and that is of course the trial of the twelve pro independence leaders in madrid many many cattle and see them now as political prisoners as symbols of the rich freshened of central government in madrid a verdict is expected in the coming months if that verdict is a guilty one for any of those twelve will that may be the spark that reignite

passions here in catalonia that reignites should mirroring frustrations anger and resentment towards madrid potentially drawing even more support towards the independence course or i join a whole there in barcelona jonah thank you for that as possible now to some of the jaeger who is in madrid summer so what makes this election so different from previous ones in spain what and what of voters paying attention to. well there aren't really it is a fairly new situation for spaniards here who said decades really have dealt with a two party system that some of the right wing conservative people's party and of the socialist party now for years this was really a binary choice for most voters they would normally vote for either one or the other but over the creasing years because of political corruption scandals and of course a stair a t.v. series it was opposed quite harshly here in spain people have been very

dissatisfied with that status quo so new parties have emerged and have moved in to fill that gap now the one that is getting a most attention as journalist mentioned in his report is the far right tops party led by cent. who has spoken of a reach conquest of spain as well as other far right and to my rhetoric tactics there now they feel that they can. use that catalog issue something that i was asked that he had to use the catalan issue to try and gain more support a lot of people dissatisfied with the way the previous government had tried to resolve that issue so what this is done it has had the effect of chipping away at the support of the people's party but however in the lead up to the elections on sunday it has been the socialists who've been ahead they say that if it's if you don't voting for them you are century voting for the far right and that is something to consider for the forty percent of spaniards who are undecided as of

yet as they go to the polls on sunday so thank you. now people in bernina are also heading to the polls on sunday but they'll have no opposition politicians on the ballot election commission says groups opposed to the government were unable to meet new requirements reports in the commercial capital caught on fire. by campaigning for these elections has been everything but business as usual there are two parties able to field candidates for eighty three national assembly positions and they're both pro-government. according to the electoral commission none of the opposition parties met the requirements of a new electoral code and charter of political parties one view from the eligible republican party is that the opposition party simply couldn't get organized in time to meet the requirements. it's also about taxes most of the national assembly members who cannot take part in this election campaign in government over the last

ten years and have properties and business interests and companies and now they can't meet their tax bills so they're not eligible for us in the republican party we are not only proud to be taking part in this election we're also doing our best to defend the constitution. that's not the view from the other side opposition politicians believe the eligibility ruling is a deliberate move to fill the national assembly but candidates that will comply with the president's agenda to force to do so. it's a legislative coup and for us in opposition it is not acceptable we cannot endorse what's happening whichever way you look this is an unprecedented situation so much so the response of religious leaders traditional regional chiefs the west african bloc. and non-governmental organizations and also the president to intervene however the president says the polls on sunday should go ahead the assembly failed to reach an agreement on a constitutional way forward following the announcement in march that the

opposition parties were ineligible according to a prominent. civil society activist what's happening takes the country back decades so. it's unfortunate it's sad and it's a step back for a democratic tradition and been in and it's contrary to article three of our constitution since multi-party democracy the people of britain have had the right to vote with legitimate option and this is a part of their sovereignty and now millions of been in the us will be denied that right. as the country prepares to vote many are wondering what will happen next as they find themselves in unfamiliar territory i'm reporting al-jazeera. security forces in afghanistan are free dozens of prisoners from a jail run by the taliban u.s. special forces join the raid in zabul province the jailhouse many security force personnel some are reported to been tortured during their detention eight taliban members are reported have been killed during the operation. yellow vests protesters
