to strike india's east coast putting hundreds of thousands in harm's way victoria. joins us now to tell us where. this track has not changed it's got significantly worse in the last few hours actually if you look at the satellite picture our run it is currently a disc here so we'll move in closer and watch it spin up it develops is always a dangerous sign that we reassure cross every six hours or so in the last six hours it's like forty or fifty kilometers for any strength so it's nearly a category five i've not seen one this strong this century's at least twenty years since something this storm has hit this part of india it's when. is currently two hundred fifty calories for our gusting more obviously it's moving more or less north was just a bit east of north and i think about nine hours before it hits the coast of
12:04 am
addition probably of the top of forty and then it goes inland to the steering won't be exact once it gets inland but this first part of the coast to coast of the dish is going to be seriously bad devastating possibly worse than that because beyond the winds you've got the storm surge of about two weeks that adds to the incoming tide but maybe worse to the waves and i fifteen meters toll now you have that the storm surge and the incoming tide you get a huge amount of potential devastation the rains all boats in significant you might think that four hundred movies of the typical of that will come through off to his nickels that run down the rivers and there's more of that to come quite obviously so the pictures then in knowing are assisting the taught me a poor e. and then the following twenty four hours it goes over land towards buying this in which is where i sit on such a day all those conditions so soon to come rachelle thank you on the other side of the indian ocean people in northeastern mozambique are being urged to find higher

ground in the wake of cyclon kennett there's more rain comes down it's a second storm in six weeks to hit the southern african coast and it's already killed more than forty people harmatz hotham reports from one of the worst affected areas. we are in my career it's about a three hour drive from when the area was worst affected by the psych learned and in this community the houses weren't that well builds to begin with when the franklin came the heavy rains and the winds are rather more knocked over and completely destroyed some of the power lines were also brought down we're told some people were injured when the houses collapsed some were even killed in a couple of days trying to get aid into this community partly because some of the roads were damaged during the cycle and so now that some of the roads are fairly possible we're now seeing some aid agencies bringing in some much needed to these communities that's one of the first load to arrive is many maize meal and it's women and children who help first and then of course the main afterwards is not
12:06 am
enough but it's something that people here say they do waiting for days to get help the concern for aid workers is that trying to access people in more remote areas is actually more difficult partly because of the weather they can only get the planes and helicopters up in the air when it's not raining so for now it seems the weather has slightly improved but they are concerned if it rains again heavily it will hold relief efforts to give an idea of how some people are in those remote areas one u.n. worker said that they came across a family that had a young boy is what twelve years old he was so thin and there is so sick he had to be airlifted to a hospital and that's just one family out of thousands of people who need help wasn't big is really one of the most poorest countries in the world this hasn't made things in the easier the concern for aid workers and the government is to reach as many people as possible who need help who really stranded out there when we're head of a news hour including ugandan opposition m.p.

12:10 am
were in the senate the disagreements between democrats and republicans were on display in the house has failed to check the president's worst instincts is not only misrepresented the findings of the special counsel has failed to protect the special counsel's investigation from unfair political attacks yes himself unfairly attacked the special counsel's investigation he has failed the men and women of the department of justice by placing the needs of the president over the ferry administration of justice is even failed to show up today he is scared of answering questions to scare that it on you can disagree with the attorney general all you want before yesterday he sent for over all six hours in the senate voluntarily answering questions even in the second round that was taken out by democrats who wanted to ask more questions and you can agree did he do good to do bad it doesn't matter but we're not getting that opportunity today because the still in the circus continues over here. ok let's cross to patty kahane live in washington d.c.
12:11 am
. a lot of political showboating as these hearings often are but they are they really are about oversight patty so kind of tell us what that the games were today what this is really supposed to be about. well as you mentioned the house democrats wanted to sort of change up the usual procedure for a hearing normally every member gets a turn about five to seven minutes and it goes democrat republican democrat republican and what that does these congress these congressmen tend to come to these hearings with their with their questions preconceived so you don't see a lot of follow up so it's a lot easier for the witness especially because once the republicans go it sends to break the momentum so the house democrats wanted him to sit before one of their attorneys with congressional questions but letting this attorney basically interject do those follow ups that tend to be so critical and that is what william barr said he was not willing to do the big question here is has he already lied to congress lied to congress is a crime people go to prison for lied to congress nancy pelosi the house speaker
12:12 am
just the last few minutes came out and flat out said he lied to congress he committed a crime and but using all of the committees decide what to do about that all of this has to do with the moeller report so far gets the report he in a couple of days later puts out this four page letter that he testifies about it before the senate now he's asked but the moeller team says that you know they have issues with your letter that you put out your summary and he said and barr said to under oath to the senate i don't know if miller's upset about that well now it comes out the miller actually sent a letter to weeks before his testimony saying i'm upset about this i don't like what you did so now was that a lie to congress that is something that the house is going to have to take up they're not done with this the question is how exactly are they going to proceed and that's what they're figuring out right now and why all of this is happening yesterday bring it back to the fact that this this at its base is about the muller report and specifically donald trump and members of his campaign but right now the focus really does seem to be on the attorney general what does that mean for
12:13 am
getting to the bottom of the muller report. well it means that it is going to continue it means that the democrats are not going to relent they do have the power of the subpoena so coming up what's the next step well they're going to try and get robert muller before them and see if he contradicts william barr and that is really the testimony that is going to be must see t.v. because muller's report is just flat incident writing it's that it's very complicated muller will be on camera presumably basically taking as a prosecutor taking the country step by step by step through what he sees as the president's malfeasance so that is the next step for democrats and the question is how far are they going to go to push people within the trump realm to actually give testimony to use those subpoenas to get the financial records to get tax returns they do have the power to do that the course of side it was congress in the past but it is clear the people within the trump presidency are going to try and make
12:14 am
this a tough fight that lasts in the courts so we have to wait and see how that plays out patty kahane live for us in washington patty thank you heidel cox has a professor of government at georgetown university says barr has an obligation to testify before the panel. i think it's unfortunate that this is being framed by the republicans as an effort by the democrats to create political theater partially is but congress has an obligation to do oversight and the attorney general did not do his job properly in this process so far and i think he needs to come and testify or if he continues to refuse we're headed towards a constitutional crisis and we were at that place before with richard nixon but it's up to what republicans and democrats agreed that we were in a constitutional crisis and the republicans and democrats alike moved to deal with the nixon problem at this point the republicans are not onboard with dealing with this crisis and issue after issue after issue trump is stalling is this is his
12:15 am
natural impulse all his life he has you know delayed lawsuits and countersuit and whatever but i think it's a strange tactical decision because we're still two years off the election eventually he's going to lose on this issue still ahead on al jazeera a call for more mass rallies in sudan as the standoff between protesters and the military council shows no sign of ending. italian painter in order to venture remember five centuries on and is that. at its core and sharp it will have reaction from me and be a play on. quite a few showers with us at the palace of techie at the moment the satellite picture is showing all the cloud making its way across techie and up towards the northeast and it's going to give us a fairly lively downpours as we head through the next couple of days so quite
12:16 am
a few showers then across turkey once more on friday and then those pushing their way eastwards as we head into saturday was in particularly heavy downpours in the eastern parts of turkey but also through georgia and up into the fosse of impulsive russia so a lot of wet weather is likely his. i mean for the towards the south and for the arabian peninsula the weather is coming down and it's also pretty hot for many of us now doha will see the temperatures up to thirty six degrees as we head into friday there is that it'll bit more cloud just around parts of saudi arabia that's working its way eastwards and that will work its way towards doha towards cattle on saturday so be outside chance of a shower certainly looks like it's going to turn a bit more humid year in the day as we head further south we've still got one or two showers with us in the northern parts of mozambique some of those again are likely to be pretty heavy as we head through the next few days of course this is a region that was hit by also i claim those are also affecting us in tanzania as well but away from that there's a lot of dry fine weather to be found and should get to around twenty seven degrees

a woman for us but not as warm forcing cape town will be getting to seventy. may on al jazeera. as the world's biggest democracy goes to the polls we focus on the economic challenges facing india and the wrongs of cultural nationalism a new series of you want a winning environmental show which meets some of the people striving to protect the planet twenty five years after coming to power can be a unseen maintain its political dominance in south africa and a massive documentary series talk from lines of two youngsters in rural kenya and up in brazil over the past twenty years and with breaks it still looming and populism on the rinds across europe will these elections become a referendum on the new so may.
12:18 am
such. just. watching al-jazeera let's recap our top stories now and as labels opposition leader one boito is urging his supporters not to lose hope after their protests fail to topple president nicolas maduro the president's supporters held a rival rally in the capital caracas a woman was shot dead and dozens injured during fighting with security forces parties in india evacuating nearly eight hundred thousand people in the path of psycho and ani it's expected to hit india's east coast on friday pastors are also
12:19 am
mourning those. low lying bangladesh u.s. attorney general bill barr refused to testify before the house of representatives about his handling of the border into the russian vest acacia checked into plans by the committee to use lawyers for questioning. as protests continue in sudan where demonstrators are staging a million strong march to press for a civilian administration artists leaders say the military isn't serious about handing over power to two sides have agreed on forming a joint civilian military council to run sudan are at odds over its composition sudan's military council has been given another sixty days to hand over power to civilians by the african union or face suspension mohamed joins us live from khartoum so mohamed has there been even the slightest bit of progress between the two sides. rise knowledge just a while ago the forces of that location of. finally published.
12:20 am
a piece of what transition should look like. the early hours of the main structures of the government in the document all four pages opticals. paper has been handed to the military council just a bit. to pilates and each would spell the end of the two thousand and five constitution in sudan hold the articles lead to public light some individual freedoms will remain will be transported into the transition put it into the. constitution but nicely. so talks about a constitution. all in council joint council of military and civilian as has been expected but no details about the membership the forces how many from the military
12:21 am
how many from the civilian police has not been clarified in these documents. it talks about an executive cabinet that should have the power to declare the state of emergency in consultation with the military council. this vision has been submitted as i said to the military council the expectation during the last few days was that it would be submitted during a round of talks between the two sides but that didn't happen the talks have been stalled for the third day now the two sides are now speaking to each other through mediators and we're waiting for the military council to announce its reaction to this the understanding is that there will be still divisions between the two sides because there is no agreement on the representation levels from both sides but in principle the forces of the declaration of freedom of change have agreed on a share of one a share of suffering council between the two sides and that at least that shows
12:22 am
that the trend within the protests that has been asking for no negotiation no more negotiation has no gauge given to the trend that says no we have to share with the military because they have been instrumental in changing the former regime the list of demands is so long and the negotiation has been stalled as i said so there is going to be difficult times ahead. for the two sides to agree on the details ahamed nama the latest from khartoum mohamed thank you. i'm going to thomas a research associate at the school of oriental and african studies which is part of the university of london he says the ongoing standoff between the military and the people could lead to conflict. dimity enormous pressure not only from the african union but actually from the protests of them serve. on the ground because they want them to hand over because that is ready for board so right now actually the equation the bronston in the question of what i know on the ground actually in the
12:23 am
action of the civilians and civilian they want civilian or that is very important action for them so that is internal pressure and also that it's a pressure from the african union but people are very suspicious in sudan but whether the african union is going to be actually you know determine or committed to this kind of you know pressure or some sort of because some of this would in doubt they can in themselves actually they're supporting the military council and they don't want action at a concert over the power to the people of sudan and that's one of the big problems i think the the way for her to say ability in the country is for them to report to the real that is very important because actually the the they they you. from the beginning right now i think it is for them actually to fulfill the four for their promise that is very very important but but but the thing is it's the defeat if you're actually that you know this can lead you know to some sort of confrontation because they say they're not somebody you know are involved in and actually
12:24 am
supporting the rhetoric also to stay actually in power while the people on the ground there are going to there is enormous costs right now across the country that they want to be in power so people are up to ten minutes you have to stay on that you know on the restriction and could be you know the ability to hunt over a pool for them and that actually could be due to some sort of confrontation is very is very worrying indeed south sudan's warring parties are meeting about ending the six year civil war the talks are being held in ethiopia as capital addis ababa before the deadline runs out to form a unity government a peace deal was signed in september by president salva kiir later shar and other rival factions. meanwhile south sudan has rejected un allegations it was behind the killing of two prominent government critics agree injury is bonnie and dong. disappeared in kenya and two thousand and seventeen wall they lived in exile the government has repeatedly denied responsibility for their disappearance amnesty international is now calling for an end depended investigation into the execution
12:25 am
about morgan has more from. the two warring parties from south sudan are here in the capital addis ababa to try to resolve outstanding issues as they face potential delays in implementing a peace deal that was signed here if you think capital addis ababa in september last year now they're supposed to be forming a transitional government on the twelfth of may this year but it doesn't look like that's going to happen the joint monitoring and evaluation commission the body that is set up to wanted to the river to lies to peace deal is saying that there are a lot of delays specifically in terms of implementing the security arrangements now asper the deal the touring sides are supposed to be bringing their armies together unifying them and training them ahead of the return of the rebel leader regular chargers team his post as vice president now that's hasn't happened yet and doesn't look like it's going to happen in the coming ten days there's also the issue of the number of states and the boundaries something that should be resolved ahead of the return of the rebel leader that is also not yet resolved so it doesn't look like
12:26 am
that the transitional government that is supposed to be formed will happen and the opposition camp is already complaining they're saying that they want an extension of the period of the deadline they want another six months to ensure that security arrangements are in place so that their leader can come and assume his post meanwhile has not been getting good publicity a u.n. report released just a few days back says that the government is responsible for the diff disappearance and the killing execution of two activists who disappeared from nairobi on the twenty third and twenty fourth of january twenty seventh seen now the government has repeatedly denied knowing where these activists are and have always been repeating saying that if anybody is to. and question in terms of their disappearance it should be the kenyan authorities but the un report says that the two activist disappeared from kenya then appeared in south sudan specifically in the national security prison known as the blue house before they disappeared once again and were executed in a presidential compound in the southwest of town so the government is denying that it has any involvement and is saying that if anybody is to be held accountable it
12:27 am
should be nairobi all this comes as the opposition party is demanding accountability and the formation of a hybrid court so a lot of issues to be resolved a lot of issues to be discussed with me very hard to see how a transitional government will be formed in the coming two weeks ugandan opposition politician bobby wine has been granted bail he attended the hearing via video link while he's being held in a maximum security prison since monday i was arrested on incitement charges stemming from protests last year against a social media attacks catherine soy has more from kampala. when the magistrate granted bobby wine bill though the law of celebration in the courtroom and outside where some of his supporters had been gathering they started singing one of the favorite songs that he performs often they say they're happy that he's been released but they also feel that he's been politically targeted unfairly by the government this charge is comes from an incident that happened last year where he
12:28 am
led protests against the social media and mobile money task that had been introduced to people asking why is he being charged now for something that happened last year so we also spoke to his wife who said that she's just happy that he's going to be home tonight the procedure now going forward is that he's going to be taken directly to he's how the police do not want him to make any stopovers or to address any of the supporters who will be gathering perhaps to hear a word from him what also stands out from this is how the case was hard he was not physically present in the courtroom proceedings of a video link from the prison where he's being held this is a fairly new system that has been introduced by the judiciary officials they it's more effective they also say it's going to cut down costs of physically bringing us
12:29 am
back to court but then some of the supporters people have been talking to i hear a thing that the reason why it's happening with poppy why is because the has the government does not want too many people gathering to wait for him to appear in court there is a lot of fear he's been garnering a lot of crowds everywhere he goes to perhaps people are saying the government is afraid of that the situation in the political situation in the country i've talked to lawyers and politicians with saying it's very. indeed we've seen some media stations being function for how they are covering. issues with the key opposition being the movement being killed the government very keen indeed to show that it's in control but the opposition politicians led by will be one thing that we will not relent we will continue and ought to continue to hold the

government to account and to see that is meaningful change in the country. around one hundred twenty million voters in india appear to be missing from the electoral roll activists say it's far too easy to delete names on the list and now a new app could help or get their voting rights back. reports from new delhi. works as a domestic helper in new delhi throughout her adult life she's always voted but might not be able to this time. maybe i. don't know my name is. i have voted before but they have removed my name from the voting list i live it doesn't get it she says her husband's name is also missing and believes it's been done on purpose what on those one vote can make a government that's why they remove names from the list as my vote can also remove
12:31 am
the government. will be able to vote she's one of around eighty six million new voters this year she feels it's important she should be able to cast her ballot we are educated so we should always utilize that. but many more people are finding they no longer have that power activists say there are up to one hundred twenty million people whose names are missing from the list. voters and political parties across the country say names are being indiscriminately removed from electoral rolls activists are working to get them back but say anyone's name from the voters' list is actually quite easy to exclude somebody from the wood list who. has studied how the election commission's own systems are being used to disenfranchise voters with just a few clicks on a couple of websites. step one find out in a by do. if there. is not getting enough boards step to
12:32 am
see the list and find out who are the people who. step three just. by taking the names and the see the numbers of those particular people and somebody. asked for an interview with the election commission to speak about the missing names but it's yet to receive a response. does not jimmy suspects a government conspiracy he's not on the voting list for this election nor are for members of his family. people ruling government their names have been removed from the list this has affected the minority community and that. is. developed an app which is helping people get their names back on the electoral roll. but that's little comfort for the many
12:33 am
millions of others who fear they won't get to vote in the biggest election in history. says jamil al jazeera new delhi. we can link founder julian assange has told a london court will fight extradition to the united states is wanted for alleged computer hacking hearing spanish are in what the next session on may thirtieth supporters say more serious charges could be filed if he's extradited including the death penalty although that will not happen a sign just serving a prison sentence for skipping bail before staying in the ecuadorian embassy in london and has more from outside the court and london. julian assange has told the court via video link that he wasn't prepared to surrender himself for extradition for in his words doing journalism that has won many many awards and protected many people now that's a view that's held by a lot of his supporters outside court here they say that he is being prosecuted by the u.s. justice system for simply doing journalism for revealing the truth now the charges
12:34 am
so far which carry a maximum sentence of five years in the u.s. pertain to conspiring with chelsea money to harkin two pence ago on computers rather than publishing information itself but a lot of his supporters and his legal team say that it's highly likely that if he were extradited to the u.s. then additional charges could be brought and they say that is a worry you prospect all along his lawyers have said that the reason that he sought asylum in the ecuadorian embassy was that he wanted that the fear that he could be sent to the u.s. to face charges which could carry the death penalty those arguments didn't get very far so far in the courts here in britain but what's clear is that his legal team will be fighting this extradition request all the way and it could take months possibly even years before it's concluded alan jones as a journalist at the press association has interviewed many times he explains the
12:35 am
complexity of the court cases. the problem is there's been no precedent for this kind of case it's hugely complicated you know there will be there's already been books written about this there will be several more books written about this what what he did the allegations he faced war his job was what we did why he upsets huge administration why they've come for him which is basically what they've done you know his argument all along and his lawyers arguments all along and again today as you've said are that he's a journalist all he's done is acted as a journalist so i meant to have a free press in this country in the united states what why should he be facing extradition and potentially several years in prison and possibly more. possibly more extreme you know that has always been this case and that won't change either in the coming months and it will be months if not longer these cases will return to the courts in london and these arguments will be played over and over and over
12:36 am
again and it's not clear what will happen by the end of the year after he serves the time that he's been sentenced to for jumping bail here for breaching bail here there's going to be some very big decisions having to be made by the british authorities as well as the american authorities a second day of talks between the taliban and the u.s. are underway in qatar it's the sixth round of talks between the two sides who are trying to find a framework for peace and the country the afghan government has not been part of the negotiations it's five hundred years since the death of the italian painter leonardo da vinci a sculptor architect an engineer was born in near the town of inchy and fourteen fifty two that is but spent most is professional life in florence and milan his last supper and mona lisa are among the most widely popular and influential paintings of the renaissance david schaper reports from. france. the another divin she arrived in france carrying his most famous work the mona lisa on the donkey's
