more than 225 people. brain is now hampering rescue efforts. people are complaining that there hasn't been enough assistance. they're frustrated. ah, play you're watching al jazeera life from doha with me, 40 back to ball or so coming up after a devastating earthquake part. so se center key and now swept by flash floods. when i turn sand off in the hor, pakistan between policing supporters of former prime minister in mankind who were trying to prevent his arrest and our russian fighter jet, collides with a u. s. strong over the black sea prompting fears of a direct confrontation between the 2 military super powers. ah,

thank you very much for joining us. so we begin. we're in malawi, where tropical cyclone freddy, has killed at least 225 people and displaced thousands. it's one of the most powerful storms to hit the southern hemisphere. devastating parts of side the ether, africa. after making landfall, twice cycle and freddie has mostly subsides now, but aid workers say the situation on the ground is still dire. tens of thousands of people have been displaced by flooding and lance lights. by not argue long video while ago, when i was, we were told we are going to receive some help. we lived down town by the mangroves . all the houses are gone as the day before yesterday. you've had no food. he said he'd be put up. he got amazing. well, how was destroyed and we don't have a place to stay. there's no food and there's no way to build a new house because we have no money, no, only live now to my law. we and al jazeera tommy miller, who is joining us from the southern city of blan tie, give us an update on the situation there for me to

a huge cleanup operation is underway, but the bad weather is hampering rescue efforts. either an akina operation is really aimed at trying to find missing people. we're in an area just on the outskirts of blan tire, that has been devastated by mud slides by debris being pushed down the hill that's just behind, as people here say, at least 40 to 50 houses or homes have been swept away. and the government has said that at least 500 people are missing, but it's likely the number is much higher because people in an area as small as this one are still looking for those who are missing. the government has saved at least 225 people have been killed. people here in the last few hours today alone have found 10 bodies, and that's one of the issues they say, if they've been left on their own, they're getting very little assistance from the government, from rescue teams. we've seen people using spades trying to think away at the mile

to try and either recover what they can or try and look for those who are missing. there are a number of people, yahoo, don't know where their loved ones are and continue to look. i'm just going to step out of shot to give you a better idea of what it looks like. you'll see water coming down from the hill above us to breathe. people still winning a bow to try to watch excavate, so that's just behind us trying to remove some of the debrief so emergency vehicles can come through eventually, but this is now 3 days after the hardest impact of the flooding. most of it felt on monday when psych loan pretty move through this area. it's off, the hitting neighboring was in peak over the weekend. the main concern again is that there is very little help. there is no running water. there's no electricity. and it's also important to remember that malawi is facing one of the biggest

cholera outbreaks it, spaced in years, at least 1600 people have already been killed. so aside from these rescue efforts, aside from trying to clean up, there is also now a worsening a health concern of following the impact of psych loan, brady. thank you very much for that update for me to mila ally for a say in blan, ty malachi. at least 5 people have been killed after flash fronts hit the turkish, southeastern region heavy rain since tuesday night. inundated the city of santa you are for an idea. mon, the cities of san you file in our german schools in san you far were closed on wednesday, the flooding happen to as to reach and is recovering from last months. devastating earthquakes resorted. our. it's all in development, stormy stumble, like the earthquake that see it's more than one city now the philadelphia is affecting at least 3 cities. there are some other cities also been affected, but particularly shonda alpha of yemen and malaria are very much. yeah. he thought

by the, by the flawed there. so for people in shonda were fought already confirmed that and $42.00 did that the mayor of the city to people are still missing and in the city or by the amount which is the neighbor off, off, off shall lose, for one person is, is dead. confirm dead and the mirror of the city. i was just talking to him before the live and he said that at least there are 10 people that are missing and the that the rescue teams are search him, trying to to find that people. but the fear is death, probably they will not be able to save them because there is no sign from that people. and so here the disaster management authority in turkey is seen that since yesterday, the area that they received $111000000.00 bits of rain per square meter, which is quite which is quite huge here to pakistan now where they've been 10 scenes a near the prime minister, former prime minister of iran, from

a prime minister in ron conn's home in la hor, police have been trying to arrest him, but they have appeared to have posted the appellation for now. hundreds of concert orders have been trying to prevent his arrest. a warrant was issued against him for failing to turn up in court. on monday, the acid leader is facing dozens of charges including corruption, which he says are politically motivated as speak to command. hydro joint is on the line from islamabad. command there's been a decision i had to stand by the high court in law hor moments ago. absolutely dead coming off. busy most then before i go back to read, then the police were trying to stall on rather than to renting that. but the call that molly sure that the police gave. ready and rejects 5 key tomorrow

and they leave both sides. ready both sides. so in order to know that the bomber bob, i need to be mad by a petition cancellation of the government. that has also been likely to be at the time being that there's some respite like happens all the good that the deadline gotten all the different generation downs and i'll call the guy and the expected from about high call. come on hider. thank you for the update. come on hider on the line there from islam or by pakistan. a brazen

violation of international law. that's how the u. s. is describing the collision between one of his spy drones and a russian fighter jet over the black sea that caused it to crash. the pentagon says the fighter jet hit the drones propeller. it says the military had to crash the unmanned aircraft because of the damage. the u. s. insists are drawn was over international wars, and polls no threat. russia defense many 3 denies that it's jets, came into contact with the aircraft. moscow says it crash because of what it called sharp maneuvering near the crimean peninsula. incident is the 1st such direct encounter between the 2 military power since the ukraine war began. i cannot re, for some washington the us confirms the end to 9 reaper drone has been regularly deployed over the black sea, which has become an increasingly crowded air space. but a pentagon spokesperson says, this is the 1st direct air confrontation since the russian invasion of ukraine.

question you, what we shall, again, we're, we're fighter aircraft dumping fuel in front of this, you avi. and then getting so close to the aircraft that it actually damaged the propeller on the m q 9. 0 we, we assess that it like we cause some damage to the russian aircraft as well. the russian defense ministry has a different version of events insisting the drone crashed often maneuvering sharply while approaching the crimean coast. the russian ambassador was summoned to the us state department, and afterwards he gave what seemed to be more a justification for you then at the nile. this ah wrong can carry 1700. you loss of explosives. these drone can carry, if you booms, you see that what will be the issue of united states if you see such russian drawn

very close, for example, to san francisco or new york. what blue will be reaction of united states. the national security liaison officer at the white house echoed the pentagon in describing the russian action as reckless and unprofessional confirming the president was informed straight after the incident. the key issue say, u. s. intelligent sources, whether the russian pilots were acting unilaterally or under command. mike hannah out is era washington, eula chappelle over his a journalist faith in moscow. she has more on rush. his reaction to the incident. laska is not looking for confrontation with washington. those on the was of the russian on the, to the us. but he went home saying that russia considered the incident with the american train over the black, the part of a cation, the ambassador, also that train flying and dislikes the area, allegedly collect intelligence,

that key, and then use it was taught of russian military positions. there are also some important reports right now that the forces of the russian life, the, please for the my head searching for the right page of the read. but while the united states said that reconnaissance flights will continue that, that haven't been much information on the russian drug defense on the sheet. they was in the telegraph tunnel, but the m. p 9 re patrol lee with the truck pulled his hand off and it did violate the boundaries of the area of the so called temporary space climate stablish key to russian special ed shock ration in ukraine. and they also said that in order to identify the flying object to rush to find the trend of the air defense both urgently to crumble that according to the defense ministry of the result of shot maneuver, any of us he went into an uncontrolled flight. the local shoot and collided,

the voice of the black, the somewhere over the crime in putting you that russian find it did not use own board weapon did not come into context. would be a month aerial vehicle. american and safely returned to that home as case hello. take a closer look at the u. s. john involved in this incident, the m q 9 reaper can fly of speeds of nearly 500 kilometers an hour and at an altitude of up to 15000 meters. typically, the drone is used for intelligence gathering and reconnaissance by the m q 9 also carries missiles, and it's an effective tool for the u. s, because it can be piloted remotely from any military base in the world. some employee is a visiting lecturer in war studies at king's college london. he believes this incident whartley to any dangerous occur escalation between the western russia. this is a very significant events, but it's probably container both in terms of the difficulty is going to cause what

is most go thinking. well, the key distinction is whether this was ordered by the russian defense ministry or whether this was an accident or whether this was the initiative of the sequoia 27 russian pilots involved in the mid collision. we don't know, we may never know that, but other important thing is that the russians will consider this to be very beneficial because they will be taking that claim to, to the air around the black sea and above the black sea. because the americans are using the supervisor intelligence with whom i certainly assisting ukrainian war and probably helping them so partner allies like romania which are black, the little country. so i think the russians, even if they didn't order this, they will probably be quite glad to be destroying, crashing to the waters very possible that the russian plains, quote 27, which you know, very maneuverable, very far into sets, is all bit quite old. now they may have been trying to fly, pulse,

drawing very close to the drawing. they may have been trying to, well, let me see, they are trying to disrupt the flight path. if the report of the don't think the fuel is accurate, but it's possible they quit, sit by the move. i mean if you will, the clipper on purpose as the pilot, one of the fall sign itself is a very dangerous, very risky maneuver tier or neck. ralph, but as we understand the rushing across a lot destroyed, to the extent to which they were damaged, we don't know that may also be a face. they think oh, by the americans to say, well, you brought down the droid, but you would damage director often in time, but we can, we can't verify this accurately. still ahead on al jazeera 12 years since the uprising against syrian president bush on the side. we look at how the civil war changed the lives of millions of people and looking for a lifeline. british families struggling with high living costs, hope to find some relief in the government's upcoming budget. ah,

water city has become a major global issue. the demand is going straight up and the supply is going straight down, turning an essential natural resource into a commodity traded for profit. just because it's life. i mean, it cannot be priced. what about the guy that can't afford it? that guy told me it's water. al jazeera examines the social, financial, and environmental impact of water privatization loads of water on al jazeera australians of the world's biggest gambler, losing him, the billions of dollars the year one or 18th. investigate with friends, getting a new one out of the year. ah, ah

lou ah, play you're watching al jazeera live from doha reminder of our top stories. more than 225 people have been killed in malawi in the wake of cycle. and freddy, it's one of the most powerful storms to hit the southern hemisphere. devastating parts of south east africa after making landfall. twice

a court in pakistan has ordered police to delay the arrest for former prime minister in long con until thursday. have been 10. seems to be a cons house in the war between his supporters in offices who have been trying to arrest him. he's facing dozens of charges including corruption. the u. s. has condemned what he calls a reckless maneuver by a russian fighter jet that brought down one of its in surveillance drones over the black sea. russia denies if straps came into contact with the aircraft and the u. k . finance minister as you to unveil his spring budget in the coming our the economic outlook is better than a year ago, but many is still struggling with a soaring cost of living. john, a whole report from coventry way communities are watching to see if jeremy hans budget does enough to improve their livelihoods. among the world's most advanced economies, it may be, but the u. k. faces the worst economic outlook in a generation. people like jasmine almond and her husband, chris,

have found that 2 full time salaries no longer sustain a family of 4. great, great, great. the high cost of living, especially childcare, means that jasmine was earning enough to pay the nursery fees. it worked out less expensive to give up her job as a teacher and care for daughter carina herself. is i a wife and a mother? and i have to do the right thing for our household. i am just going week to week. we survive like that and it's just life nowadays. on wednesday, britton's finance minister jeremy hunt will deliver his 1st spring budget since taking the job last autumn. child care will feature but must take its place in a long queue. public sector workers on strike, again,

even as the budget he's announced in an economy left reeling by kobe, breaks it and the war in ukraine. i think $11.00 area with a will be cut off a lot of focus, particularly decisions is around public sector pay. and you know, it's kind of lot of pressure and that with, with strikes, fitting, rising vacancies in the public sector. that scenario we will see kind of quite a lot of pressure. and it's not just families looking for help, but whole communities in towns and cities across the country where political promises to level up in the qualities have not been met. and slow growth is led to calls by business leaders for a clear strategy to attract investment. take coventry, for instance, here in the west midlands, once a center of manufacturing so important to britain's economy, that hitler's air force took great care to bomb it into oblivion. coventry's damaged cathedral is testament to those bleak times. but at the heart of the de

industrialized midlands, it's a hollowed out place. even now, jeremy hunt will announce funding for new low tax investment zones to try and spurt business and growth in areas like this. such as the scale of the task that his budget will offer. no quick fix. joe. the whole al jazeera, coventry, live not to hurry, far settles in london for so harry, what do we know about what chance is going to say? well, there's already been one measure announced before this budget. that's because it is market sensitive. and so it came out earlier on wednesday morning that is that the assistance for households with the energy bills and the government has been providing the assistance which keeps it to $3600.00 us dollars per month for an average household energy bill that is going to be extended for another 3 months or something that is widely trails. and the hope is that by the end of that period in july,

those costs will start to come down. but the other big announcements that are likely that have been heavily trailed that. jeremy hunt is trying to get people back into the workforce, the so called economically inactive. and so he will extend government assistance for child care, 30 hours per week for those who qualify it for it. not just from the 3 and 4 year old children for those with one and 2 year old children. so that is something that's going to cost nearly $5000000000.00 us dollars to an end of the other end of the working spectrum. those in the fifty's who have given up work will take an early retirements in recent months and years. they're going to have that pension parts the tax re allowance of that extended to more than $2000000.00 as well. and so that is something that they hope the government will encourage more people to, to get back to work and top up those pension. when it comes to business, there is good to expectation of any tax cuts. indeed,

the cooperation tax rise from 19 to 25 percent is expected to go ahead, but as gender was reporting just then, there are these kind school tax re investment zones and some tax breaks for long term investment as well as they try to drive growth. which has been very, very sluggish for decades. now, how big of a test is this for the conservative government it's, it's a huge test. i mean, the, the economy is, of course, a major. it's not the major issue. politically. the conservatives are way behind the labor opposition in the polls, recent post foot labor, with a percentage leaders in the mid twenties, even high twenty's. and if they were election an election tomorrow, that be a massive bay. but majority in that building behind us. and when you look at what people think of the economy, 6 in 10, according to some polls, believe that the economic conditions only going to get worse over the next years,

only one in 10 believe that this budget upcoming budget will fix those problems and you are hearing about the cost of living crisis, as well as that there are hundreds of 1000 people on strike this very budget day from teachers, university lecturers to junior dr. underground train drivers. there is be no way of industrial action at this real upset with the idea of real time wages lagging well behind inflation. the amount of inflation is starting to come down. the cost of living is still a huge priority for people. and therefore, for this government doesn't have enough time over the next 18 months to really set things right. or at least on the right path at the next election. thank you for harry foster live for us in london. is really forces have arrested at least 2 palestinians in overnight raids, see targeted towns across the occupied west bank including nablus. and janine the size of recent violet reeds, according to van athenian media. one of those arrested is
