that struck at 4 am on tuesday was heralded by earlier warning tremors i remember was 10 to 4 and start shaking the bed to start to get in. there they did open the door in my room and i jumped on balcony. and i knocked on the window with my dad and my mom because they were sleeping the 1st. 35. kids and everything 7 multi-story buildings collapsed nationwide and hundreds of homes are rendered uninhabitable creating a displaced and terrified population prefer in the open air to any concrete shelter here at the daughter's football stadium hundreds of families are sleeping in army issued tents overnight with little protection against the chill weather but a blanket many of their houses are damaged or destroyed or they are simply afraid to go back indoors. this woman's husband dashed out of the house with their 2 children before the house began to crumble around her they rescued her by

and some of the roads and the bridges have been cut off our correspondent mohammed atta has managed to reach west pocket the primary school in reality has been tom into a makeshift come for victims of floods and landslides these people have never had much but now the last thing their homes crops livestock and positions it's the loss of loved ones that's most profound. 3 of the video capellas sons were killed when a torrent of mad and rocks serp their home away in the middle of the night. i don't know what to do my house is gone my children are. just my wife and children who were injured in hospital the government is promising to help but no assistant can bring back my children at least 7000 canyons have sought refuge here the school can barely accommodate all of them many told us that they spend the night in the cold

there's a shortage of almost everything here joe in a touchy people i didn't really need food clean water in tent they have no homes left impassable roads are making that anybody of a difficult. the government has mobilized workers to rebuild bridges and sections of the road washed away by the floods it's a painstaking process slowed for the by the continuing torrential rains from the heels of near creole floodwaters continue to gush back at the company to coworkers or treating the sick and the most common ailment that we've seen is a power a spirit or retracted picture which is basically associated with their call the place is a bit cold and also doing a lot of psychotherapy for their patients we have a number of psychological counsellors here and there being a lot of clinical psychology here with 4 more weeks of rainfall cause the government is trying hard to ensure the disaster about happened here is not repeat that anywhere else in the country government officials are now appealing to people

living in flood and landslide prone areas to move to safer ground 6 shelter in schools and government buildings the torrential rain currently pounding kenya is uncommon for this time of the experts blamed extreme weather on the ocean of east africa been far warmer than usual causing more rain to fall here right mohamed atta now joins us live and mohammed since filing that report you've moved to a different location in the same county west pocket county but now you're in a place called macro tana tell us what you found there. well martin that we are epicenter of the disaster that struck west or called this is the torch village off that some college shopping center which has largely been destroyed by the landslides and a company. that's all cut here just

a few days ago. the son told where the village used to be there well how this all behind me now is nothing except a huge rocks that came tumbling down from the heel behind the. all area is that our own device hills and it is the line the slides and the rocks that came gushing out of. the hills killed last of the people and destroyed buildings that homes in the house that was just right you know where i am writes now 11 people died and of the 11 who died just 3 boards have been recovered government the rescue workers to reach here because of the swept away parts of the roll down bridges leading to these parts of the west or

called county and the people here are really not only striking but also say they would not get closure until they get the bodies of their loved ones about 21 people were killed here and all those 21 who died just 1011 bodies of since been found the villages have been combing through that area looking for the bodies in the stream that's known as a pale which was passing to my left you. know doesn't miss us to my left but now has changed course and is passing a little away from where eyes time i'm standing and to my right and they've been looking. for the bodies in there and there haven't been able to find any bodies they are asking the government to come with us moving machines to try and lift the rocks to see whether there are any bodies underneath the rocks and rubble that has

covered the place where the the how this aware that affected people were living in but again with the destroyed roads and bridges it will be a while before government help for that and mohamed i'm guessing therefore that these people who are still waiting for help to locate the bodies of their relatives died they're not going to be heeding the advice to move to higher ground because it cools more heavy rain is expected while they hopefully understand that they have to move because of the 4 more weeks of rain that's been predicted and they are saying with the the flood already you are caught in the the possibility of law coming their way in the coming days and weeks so they understand the danger they are seen by again saying they're not going to get closure until they get the full these of their loved ones and that's why they've

been here waiting for house up until now those who have been displaced from the village are living in a charge of about 100 or so yards from where we are right now they're living rough much how they like they like clean water and almost everything house and it gets very cold at night so. they don't have much to be honest i'm. live from. west county in kenya thank you very much indeed. we got a lot more to come here and out there including easy restrictions a saudi led coalition in yemen announces it will allow some flights to resume out of santa apple. and 75 years on how japan is still seeking the remains of soldiers killed in battle on a remote pacific island. and

the western pacific is still sporting a tropical cycle which is really on the very edge of your screen but you don't live in the western pacific if you're living in a landmass the chances are you don't see many shots now you should be seeing rain proper it in today's at the moment has come as far south as sort of ways in borneo they're ready does it do much in java and that's still true in the fall cos it's further north it's in singapore kuala lumpur sudden thailand peninsula malaysia sudden with gold in sumatra and that's where it's going to stay with some more forming on the coast on vietnam but in jakarta a low likelihood of sun's tones which is wrong really for this time of the year we have seen some pretty active weather recently in new south wales that front now has gone through queensland's you can see it was cold enough briefly for some snow in the victorian house and of course we're just about to knock on the door of summer proper temperature wise we're still in the twenty's which is about right anyway

from brisbane down to hobart it has been a lot warmer in person about 31 so don't hugely warm or not doesn't change very much in the next day or so as a cloud that hints at the nothing spectacular i don't think if you're on the west coast news even particularly on the south island you can see what's coming your way significant cloud and some rain. a $150000000.00 trees disappear every year into the clothing that we all wear from uk cycling to save the forests the famous yellow dress fade from blue jeans. to conserving the world's dwindling wetlands 3 of the 8 year old global bird migration quite right where we are the basic discovered a treasure trove it is one of the most special low clouds on the planet at fry's

makeshift camps after widespread flooding and landslides at least 65 people have died in the past 3 days up 212-0000 people have been affected. now to yemen where the saudi u.a.e. led coalition has announced that it's easing restrictions to allow sana to be reopened the coalition says it's to allow patients in need of medical care to be flown out from the rebel. area flights will be operated in cooperation with the world health organization airports being closed to commercial flights says 2016 hussein he is a pro journalist and commentator he says the move taken by saudi arabia can't be considered as a step towards peace i think this is step from saudi arabia is clearly showing that saudi were the one who was blocking. from my live in sanaa a port to get an urgent medical holds most of the of those patients mainly that is

hold of the saudi war in yemen that's why i want to just to mention that the agreement was signed between sanaa and world health organization about 10 month ago . patient. report on the u.n. flight to get medical help abroad but it was as old who refused to give to give a green light for those flight that's why i don't think that we can consider this as like a step toward peace because to block a patient from. from going abroad to get medical help it is a crime against all international laws amnesty international has accused egypt of misusing counter-terrorism laws to suspend fair trial rights and detain peaceful critics a new report examine the cases of 138 people many of whom were detained for participating in protests or making political statements online it found egypt

from where our correspondent. joins us if i'm right in saying you're quite close to the outer tree of the trash or any sign of the tractors there yet. no no sign of the tractors i actually can probably see behind me it's a pretty empty road are the moments there at the foot of the we understand about a 1000 tractors are heading towards paris they are supposed to be just on the outskirts and the idea is that they're going to drive up avenue fortune or actually going to be on the shores of just they're going to be on a road quite close there also of course in the area near the lease a palace and that is where the french presence emmanuel micro is and it's a some all symbolic protest here if you like in the heart of paris because they are here to try and demands a meeting with the french president because they say that the government is simply not doing enough to help farmers that many of them are struggling financially and not only that but the french government is increasingly signing up to deals that

are in fact damaging the life of the french farming community even more such as the recent a european union in canada deal farmers are saying these sort of the. elza mean more cheap food imports in fact is simply giving them even more competition to deal with we did hear though from the french agricultural minister a little bit earlier today he spoke on french radio and he said look he supports the pharmacy understands their concerns but that the government is doing everything it can to try and support the agricultural community so a really bold statement them planned by the farmers of friends how much sympathy i mean the culture minister has been talking on the radio as you mention but how much sympathy do you think the complaint is likely to have with the manual macro where is hard to tell is as i said the french agriculture minister has already responded saying that he does support these farmers and as far as he's concerned

the french government is doing what it can and you know it's interesting that of course the french farming community has always been very widely supported with the french public because people cherish their farmers they see farmers as you know the backbone of a french way of life but in recent times there are that image you might say a very positive image of farmers has been changing somewhat because environmentalist are saying that farmers are responsible for damaging nature for more and more pollution and what pharmacies saying is they're also suffering from what they call a grid bashing this idea that they reputation is being tarnished they say that they are people who are actually very close to nature who know nature more than anyone else and if there are some bad practices that is because the consumers are forcing them to overproduce and that's meaning that they're having to resort to these bad practices all right natasha thanks for that natasha butler live in paris. a few government ministers in malta have resigned in connection with

a case involving the murder of a journalist the prime minister's chief of staff also quit as police searched his home reporter daphne could have lived here was killed by a car bomb 2 years ago while investigating corruption between politicians and business executives a move as prime minister joseph muscat has once again being confronted with the public's anger over the case the crowd threw eggs at him as he left parliament he's refusing demands to resign. now the sound of between police and pro-democracy protests is a hong kong university seems to have ended the polytechnic university says search teams found one woman earlier on wednesday but she appears to be the last one protesters have barricaded themselves. so most 2 weeks ago they've been violent demonstrations on the roads outside the university as they try to shut down a major tunnel that has since been reopened sarah clarke has more from hong kong
