you're watching the news, our life and my headquarters, and i am. danny novel gates are coming up in the next 60 minutes. one of the key concerns is that they just simply don't have enough food. living in dire conditions after the floods in malawi report from a school that's now a make shift cam. pakistan's, former prime minister in ron con, says he will march to court with his supporters as he faces an arrest warrant. i am grandma ida, all died. a ron holland, read in read dog and over the borders are getting ready to go. don't call you more protests and france after president macro bypasses parliament to push through controversial pension reforms and major u. s. banks upon billions of dollars into 1st republic bank in a bid to com fears about a growing financial crisis. i'm trying to get raska with the sports, his majesty to reach the rosalie quarter finals. marcus freshman scores. his 19th

goal since the welcome to seal victory of rail bettis, keeping them in the mix for another trophy this season. ah, welcome to the news hour. we begin in malawi, that's where the president is appealed for global support. after a tropical cyclone had the east of southern africa, so the country's commercial hub, blah blah, tire has seen the most damage with flooding and mud slides, at least $326.00 people have died and hundreds are missing. pharma, demila reports from black tar as people try to recover from the impact of psychos pretty. they also have to bury the dead. and as the rain continues here in the village of ta cura, the have to scoop water out of grave puts before laying the victims to rest. more

than 320 people have now been confirmed dead and thousands more missing after the cyclone tor through southern africa for a 2nd time in weeks. outside below is commercial capital plant. iow. people in this village have been cut off from their neighbors as roads and bridges lay in ruin. president lazarus, chuck. whereas appealed for international assistance. while his governments been criticized for not doing enough, the main challenge is not government failing to respond. it is the inaccessibility of some of his camps because bridges are been wash. ah, and roads had been caught. i, you know, so that people cannot travel to where they are. so there is hell that is already on hand. it cannot get to the people because of challenges of accessibility. in some parts, there's no electricity or running water. we have people who are,

has been rendered homeless, they don't afford it, don't up clothing, they don't, i, val, water clean water. so it's sitting there, but we, we, we, we don't even know what people are going to it for lunch at this day. all if in supper we don't, you know, because, you know, we have not yet received in it. if item as we speak across the country, more than 88000 people have been displaced. with many sheltering and temporary camps. maureen is expected in the next few days, raising fears a flash floods and more destruction. and earlier founder was at a school that's been converted into a camp for the displaced key priority at this point is accommodating the displaced and we at the camp for people who have lost their homes, were in blan tire. and this was once a school. it's since been close since the cycling pretty hit this area and in state it's been used as temporary shelter for people who've lost their homes are behind

me is what is the kitchen for more than 4000 people? and that number's growing, as you mentioned, because of fears around the rain that is expected to continue and the flash flooding, but also because there are homes that continue to collapse ever since 2nd 30 hit on monday. the women behind me of volunteers and they're preparing up to 3 meals a day for the 4000 people here. most of them children. and one of the key concerns is that they just simply don't have enough food. they run out of food every day. they're trying to prioritize children and pregnant women women, and many of the men you don't get to eat are some of the days that they've been because they just don't have enough resources. the camp is what was and also it was a school and, and they tried to do the best that they can with what they have available. and just behind me is a single ball. and that's where people are getting water. there are no taps, so there's no running water. people line up to up like that all day long to get the

water that they need to wash to do their laundry. you see people ahead of that trying to wash their clothes, leaving it out in the sun. when they is sun to drive, and that's one of the key issues here. hygiene, occlusion facilities, and just access to water. and the issue of hygiene is very important because malawi is struggling with a cholera outbreak. at least 1600 people have already died from colorado. and now that will be a key concerning the days ahead. when health remains a priority, we're pending across this area just to give you an idea of what it looks like and those 2 structures. those are the 2 toilets for the more than 4000 people here and people running this camp. and i have to emphasize that, that they're, they're struggling because they're community members. the private citizens are, there's a lot of confusion around how much the government is providing where it's being provided and when they'll have access to it. so people here are simply relying on

donations from the community, from private citizens, from 8 organizations, local ones. and that is a very difficult for them in terms of the funding that they need and also still many questions around accessibility to government 8. we know the president has appeal for international help and a 1500000 dollars has been put aside by the government to help people. but it still appears that it's slow in terms of trickling down to people on the ground. in pakistan, the former prime minister and run con, says he will march to a court in the hor, with his supporters. so that court has rejected. con, please to suspend and arrest warrant issued against him. the decision spart fears of new confrontations between police and con supporters. after when they violence, the warrant was issued after con, failed to appear in court on corruption charges come hider, joining us from the heart of your outside, enron. conn's home in the city. tell us what you're seeing around you and also what can we expect from this march?

first of all, it's important to know that because of the tension between the order date and the police of made several attempts to read on con, the government has now come out with 4 more cases against him for causing damage to government proper day for guarding injuries to many of the police men by them, ron hahn is not going to go to the law i cord where he's going to seek protective barriers as far as the new charges are concerned. and you're getting in the background support or that now gathering outside in residential. is there support? there will be a company and i'm to the guard is already given an undertaking that gave where to go to the court tomorrow. and it's not my bod, however, died undertaking was rejected by the tartar d simply because the police weren't started to have to read them and present them before the court, short dramatic moments as far as progress on for later good scenario is concerned.

i'm ron hahn will be proceeding with supporters who are now congregating outside and they will be of course, seen outside the court one once the people outside the court. where did the court really give him that protective bail or not? and the new charges that have been leveraged against them. and a big question i've got really be going to, it's not my boss tomorrow. and the cord bridge, i ordered him to be president in person. they've sent the police to them and present them before the court. right. so my come on when do we expect that march to actually start well it's not exactly a march. what happening is that because iran corner is going for protective belt the court support. they're going to a company him, so it is a distance away from here. some of them will be traveling and re codes. many of god

will be on for. we don't know how long it will take him to appear before the god. because the court said that it should be there by 10, g and d. so this is like need your dig a few words. and of course they will be seen outside the guard radio address. okay, got it. thank you so much. you can hi, no reporting for us from the horror protesters block the main highway around the french capital on friday that says unions war and they'll continue their fight against pension reforms. the, the latest action comes to the government, bypass parliament and it for through controversial plan to raise the retirement age from $60.00 to $64.00. and that anger processors even more so, crowd set cars on fire and more than 300 people were arrested for this story. natasha butler is joining us from paris. so would it be fair to say, natasha, that reaction to the french government's decision to force the reform through by

decree has actually been worse than expected. ah, well look, had been pretty bad. so french ministers have been trying to defend the decision to force this rather unpopular bill through by decreed, bypassing parliament, saying it was necessary for the economy. it's going to be necessary to have these reforms to sustain the pension system for future generations. but clearly that's not washing with a lot of people. we saw protesters again trying to block a part of the paris spring road. they were played by police, but other workers thank that. they all could going to continued with some of their industrial action. all refineries, a garbage collectors, and next week trade unions who have called this reform, unfair and unjust. i've called for a big day of action on thursday strikes and protests across the country ready saw

an order of protest my breast on thursday night after the decision was made in parliament. so a lot of pressure on the government and president mac raw has really come out rather badly in all this. because by using this degree, he is seen as somebody is b who's basically failed to convince people in parliament that his reform is necessary. he has failed to get parliament to vote on his reform and he's being seen to somebody once again out of touch with the general population . that's mike is ation by many opposition. m. p. 's. we're not expected to hear from president macro either he is continue with his duties, say dearly say, but once again, even that silence is just fueling people's anger, illinois with rate, and i looks like it could be another term, ryland, a in parliament. what should we be looking out for while there was any chaotic scenes on thursday, as the government did a push through that reform by to greet, we may see some of the same today's we expect the government to try to defend the

reform in parliament. but what we know is that a number of the opposition parliamentary roofs may meet on the last. on the far right cycle, they are going to table motions of no confidence in the government. now those emotions that would be then voted on on monday, if the government was to lose that no confidence vote than either macro would have to re shuffle his cabinet or dissolve parliament. however, at this stage and looks unlikely that the government would lose that vote because there are a number of employees on the right to a saying that they weren't supported. but look, we don't know what will happen because there was so much uncertainty or yesterday in parliament, they're still a good point next few days, i should say are likely to be equally uncertain. okay, thank you so much. natasha butler reporting from paris hunter moorehead on the al jazeera this hour, including thousands of photos of the interstate, and my roster are protesting demanding higher prices. for onions. the u. s. west

coast is bracing for more heavy rain and flooding as the region experiences an unusually wet winter. and the camel race in saudi arabia worth $21000000.00. that's coming up in sport with joe. ah. but 1st, the finish government is expecting to hear from the turkish presidential edge of ty berto on, on the country's bed to join nato. so the finished president, sal eaten iniesta, is in turkey, a for a 2 day visit and his schedule to meet or tuan ankara has been blocking the succession due to concerns if an insufficient commitment among the 2 nato applicants to fight what it calls terrorism. finland's admission could be ratified by parliament before turkey is election in may. we're so sorry. are is joining us from ankara. so what can we expect from this meeting resume?

well, during the nato membership train for finland is moving and today it's expected to pass. perhaps the most critical station. so the sources are telling us that prison ad one and his team, they have agreed to air poo akim lands beat to nature to day. and pres, one wanted to announce it during a president to president meeting and base and that he has in white it finished residents sold in the mission to anchor em minister accepted. that's what she did yesterday. yeah, arriving turkey today in. busy hours they're going to have a meeting in the presidential palace in on credit, and after that meeting, we are expected for the oppressor and getting that dresser, probably president, our one is going to announce that turkey has agreed to to, to rectify the nato bead or finland and that's going to be that happens is going to be quite a story moment for both for finland and also nature. and of course if they agreed

on that, they announced that decision today. then next week, the expectation is that this decision is going to go to the turkish parliament and then being ratified. and after that definitely it will be thrown to bronsels half quarter of major, right, and interestingly rest. so sweden, of course, has been excluded from this meeting in this meeting suite in another country that turkey hasn't ratified. it's a session to nato so far. so why has sweden been excluded while that school? right. so it is quite a complicated story when it comes to, to sweden. so turkey around kind of has been making a clear distinction between finland and this via an anchor was seen that they do not have any problem regarding security when it comes to feeling that the feel land has at this turkey security concerns. however, nato has insisted that few minutes to eden to be a good as a package and asked on,

cut out to rectify or to approve the membership at the same time. but now it seems that nato has gets ro from dis, from that demand. so i'm kind of says that to approve does know the company's membership to nato. it has demands, the security, the concern needs to be at this. one of them is that particular this to be then to stop to, to leave out mom better go on turkey and to be, than has done that so far and, and cut off. she's asking that the members of the peak and y p g, which are regarded as total groups in on cut off the members of this 2 groups to be expedited to cherokee. so that is quite a complicated issue because it's to be a dish or toward of his are said that this is directly but beer, the domestic regulations are so far. the swedish government has passed several of the bills to administer keys concern here, but the least of the turn of the dead, the extra resides with the people that took you wants to be extra is, is quite long despite several good messages or were messages between speed and,

and on kind of so for that hasn't been that much of the progress and apparently based on our conversation with the sources, they're still a long way to go. all right, thank you so much. we're so sorry. our reporting from and carol, china's president, she, jim pang will travel to russia next week. the official trip comes with china offers to broker piece in ukraine. this is the 1st time the chinese presidents will make a trip to russia since the start of the war in ukraine. on this katrina you is joining us from beijing. so what does being say is on the agenda for she during this trip? well, according to china's foreign ministry, she is trip is all about promoting peace between crane and russia. china, our mystery says that being done during the conflict has been consistent. that all at once is to slide to sit down and talk and it released the keys back last month,

outlining the dialogue at the school. our saving is also criticized to us and other western countries, both employees in what it says, you need to sanctions and using the crisis white one new to support ukraine. now that's what kind of our ministry says, but there are really 2 other goals here that very, very much paging interests. the 1st is, this trip is going to be a major show of public support for moscow at a time when it's continuous invasion of brain. and this is what baiting intended intends to show that this is advancing a multi polar world, as opposed to one that just one by the u. s. and other western countries. they also want to deepen it academic ties with russia. we've seen trade so between the 2 countries, since the invasion and 2022, it went up by 29 percent to $190000000000.00 us dollars. and much of that is the buying of cheap oil and gas from russia for aging. something that agent very much need and beijing is also going to promote itself as

a global leader and immediate. she didn't think it's very much capitalizing on the recent success of one aging. being top did not brokering a piece deal between saudi arabia and iran, and he's very much going to tell the international community to point out to the international community that speaking to both russia and ukraine is something that aging can do. and the us cannot. now we know that china is foreign minister, king guns located your premium counterpart on thursday, and that's the willing report that she dipping plans to speak to the modem is lend the following. it's moscow is more so visit now. this be his 1st conversation with ukrainian president since the invasion in here says that it causes the receptive debating involvement as long as any piece deal includes the full withdrawal of russian forces from occupied ukrainian territory. thank you so much. katrina reporting from beijing. the australian government is expected to abound the popular

short form video, apt tick tock from its devices. that's once a 7 month review is completed. their growing fears the app could be used by china to obtain user information. new zealand has just been the app from devices connected to government applications. the u. s. as order tick talks for and shareholder holders to sell the company, or than face being banned from operating in the united states. and then the u. k. as well as the european commission have also bound the app from government devices . let's talk about this with matt warren. he's the director of the r m i t university center for cyber security research on innovation. joining us from melbourne, thanks for your time with us on al jazeera. so do these bands actually have the or, or did they address the worries of these governments? well, the good, what the concern is from a government perspective is up slight tick tock or actually trojan horses or

spyware. and what they're able to do is extract sensitive information from other people's mobile devices. but what you will see in the is that governments are banned in the use of them by government employees. because of that, more easily able to enforce that part because that sort of key decision makers each much, much harder to implement sort of national bands of these technologies. right. and it's important to point out that in response to the u. k band, for example, the chinese embassy has said that the move was motivated by politics or rather than facts. well that there's been, you know, it tests up, you know, reverse engineer in all the apps that, you know showed that the tick tock does, you know, harvests x, excessive amounts of information, you know, such as, you know, keep whose email was, telephone details, date of birth, gio locations. and the,

what the concern is is every time an app gets updated, it can have additional functionality. so the problem is you're not just looking at the current version of tick talk. it's what would the future versions of tick tock may have in terms of the functionality. so when the u. s. government demands or asks the tech talks, chinese owners actually sell their stakes in the company or than face a possible u. s. ban of the app with the sale if it were to go through, would it actually address the perceived security ris? well, it's interesting did that, that this is an issue. you know that donald trump raised when he was president and the, the, the owners bite dance still haven't made a decision about it. they've made lots of public statements on, you know, that they're not sharing information. the, you know, the, um, the statements about them are a force, but to date they haven't made that splits,

you know, of the tick tock, part of their company form by dance. and i think what you're seeing is that weston governments are, you know, just been in, out of patience and are, you know, are in force. and these partial bands are full. governments are employees. and it's not the 1st time this is happened. it's also happened to have other chinese apps such as we chat as well, or, you know, sort of part of a trend to it. we now see in rates so, so our tech talks, privacy and security are issues actually different from other as such as instagram and facebook or even twitter isn't just down to the fact and because it's chinese well, the concern is, is the in chinese intelligence law, which me, which would enforce any chinese company. i'm here a vast by the chinese government to share any data that they hold up directly with

the chinese government. up weston are companies, you know, such as matter except sher, i who operate facebook and instagram, you know, wouldn't be in that same situation of being forced to share all of their data. we've resting governments. okay. my or and thank you so much for speaking to us from melbourne. my pleasure. hundreds of farmers in india have halted their march to one by after a meeting between their leaders and government officials. so the farmers were protesting against a huge drop in onion braces. the 200 kilometer march began in the city of nasa, but it's not clear if it will continue of name at all. has more on this from vaskins farm. was that continuing to pressure? the government were about 2 hours from move by and farm was a camping here. this a been only go off to the government passes a resolution in the state assembly formerly agreeing to their demands. these

include financial assistance like loan waivers and compensation after onion prices crashed. in the state of my russia, in weston india, now far most have gone from the city of nasa that's about 100 kilometers from here . and it's been a difficult journey. they've walked over here. it's taken them 4 days in this blistering heat. and over here, they don't have too many facilities, as you can see, the sitting on straw matt. it's where they're also sleeping at night and cooking their food sod. these up parsons, i la la la la, and this is our 3rd march towards the city. the government didn't fulfill its promises during the fast to protest, so we don't trust the government. we cheated every time. i've been looking for 6 days, hoping our demands will finally be met. and you have that this. onion prices have fierce political implications and have brought down governments in the past. it's a staple, an end in cooking and affect the majority of the middle class. and nearly half of windows working population works in agriculture, making formulas

a critical vote. bees. this protest comes as form was in north india, are protesting and demanding increased financial protection from the government. bob newman, the largest, 0 vash, and western india. and over in southern india, it's an unusually wet forecast. let's bring in our weather percentage of heritage to explain more on this. so what's so unusual about this? well, you know, during typically at this time of the year we would see pre monsoon heat slowly but surely starting to build. and in some cases in india, that is the case. for example, in western india from the states of go right through to my roster. we've seen temperatures in the forty's, in fact, a few days ago and by was about 39 degrees. and we need to remember is some the year, these are some of our dry as months of the year in many parts of india. so let's take, for example, that city of janai and tom and i do state averaging 123 millimeters of rain for the month of march, but wow, that is all about to change. so let me show you the forecast for saturday. keep in

mind the colors on this map, that's the rain falling dark of the blue, the more intense it is. and when you see some of these yellow pop up that is concerning. so see how it's fighting down the east coast from entrepreneur dash rate into time on. now, do we take a look at the 3 day forecast? so for parts of entrepreneur dash, the march average is about 11 millimeters of rain, but i think we're going to be soaked with 60 plus millimeters of rain over the next few days. and remember, tonight are just chatting about it, right? 3 millimeters average for the month. where the forecast 20 to 30, so certainly the risk of seeing some flooding here. so that is his story in india. but let's talk about boxed on as while we have had some pretty intense hailstorm. so this is in jam charo in sin province. not too far away from hydro, bad, and in some parts of st province. we've seen golf ball sized hail. i think that's going to continue on saturday for that western side of sin province. right through to below just stand. and really, truthfully, these waves of precipitation will be coming across over the next several days,

right through to k p. k province as well. and i know it's karachi for the 1st time in about a month is dip below 30 degrees. so during a lot of rain to come, not only for india but so pakistan his follow for the next little bit. yes, sounds like it. ok jeff, thank you so much for that. we will take you to the united states because there are flood warnings there and there in place for parts of california. it follows a storm soaked winter that's brought much heavy rain. and costume sharif husband. ah, this is the only be tennis had garcia can get around to feed her animals and retrieve any of her belongings. a river burst its banks and flooded this rude little town in central california on thursday. people, yes, say the fast moving flood water destroyed everything in its part within minutes. were shocked that all this happened as quickly as it did. so now we're all, you know, we're going to do it. evidently,

we're not going to be able to come back here and live anymore, so we're gonna have to just take our losses in southern california, summoned the coastal city of san clemente were forced to leave their apartments as the earth slid away from their back outs. at least 35 out of 58 counties on a presidential emergency declaration for areas hard hit by natural disasters. i think everyone should understand. we have a dynamic situation here. we have another arrangement on route is going to be stretches are still in peril. as a mercedes perspective, again, safety for so we're going to make sure that everything's done before we get to go in the united states. west coast is facing an unusually wet season. after 2 decades of trout, it's endangered, lives destroyed homes and turned roots into rivers. there been puzzle out to just to and with rain in the forecasts this likely to be more flooding in the

next few days or michelson, surely i'll just 0 still had on the i was there a new sour, an alarming trend of what's been called economic abuse in the u. k. as people struggle with the high cost of living and the reform cultures in the philippines who are now helping to save endangered seats workforce. we'll also hobble it as action from who's in wells where this team tennis star is closing in on the world. number one spot that's coming out. the jo ah. ready too often of canister is portrayed through the prism of war. but there were many, i was gonna say thanks to the brave individuals who risk their lives to protect it from destruction. an extraordinary film,

on friday, these are the pictures from run in front unions or warning. they'll continue their flight against pension reform. the latest action comes after the government bypass parliament and it force true controversial plan to raise the retirement age from $60.00 to $60.00 form. let's talk about the process in france and bring in a gabriella time job. joining us on skype from paris, gabrielle tons of teachers that policy on cellphone university, and he's one of the thousands who have joined the protest. welcome to the al jazeera news our how big a political crisis is this? as big as i can remember for the past 10 years. look, it's hard to understand the french situation, if you don't understand how divided the country is. politically it. busy feels like we have nationalists on one side, a centrist government in the middle, and then the left wing. look the pension reform protests that have been happening

for the past 2 months, and that will keep going strong for the next few weeks. really are not just about pensions, it's about money, there's the money you get now and there's the money you get later. myself as a teacher, i feel undervalued, very much like other people. people who take care of the trash, people who take care of people's health. this is what it is about money in the end, and there's a lot of tension when it comes to there's a social aspect to that question, but there's also a political aspect to that question. the problem is that the government cannot find a 50 percent majority. they just don't have it, they don't have it with people and they don't have it in the national assembly. so what do they do? well, they just do what they have to do, which is try to, you know, save money and we ourselves feel like we are underprivileged. so yeah. okay. let's just talk about the social aspect for a moment. and then i'll get into the political question and what happens next with micro. now unions, as i understand, are saying that they will continue to oppose these plans. there's another day of strikes and demonstrations, a big one in fact, planned for thursday,

the march 23rd. i me, what are these protests and people like you actually achieving at this point, besides crippling the country because we saw president my went ahead and he in fact bypass parliament look crippling the country. i don't know. i feel like i keep going, every day i teach young people, i try to help them achieve the best version of themselves. i feel like i'm not true crippling anything. i'm just reminding political people, you know, people in power that are useful and that without, there's not much can be achieved. so look, it's been 2 months right? that the movement is going on. i, you know, i'm of the bedding sort. i would say that next thursday will be the biggest thing of demonstration. we are very motivated because people not only disagree as to how much money end up in their pocket. they also disagree as to how the political process should go. okay, and in terms of that political process, what is it that happened next? so the president, bypass parliament, he forced through that controversial plan to raise the retirement age. what are we

looking at next? because some say that it's likely that the government of micro will actually face a no confidence motion. do you think that's going to happen? yeah, look, i'm not sure what will happen in the parliament. it's possible that some people on the right swing. and so people in left doing end up, you know, agreeing on what to do. what i do know for sure is what i'm a participant in, which is the coming demonstration. and they will be method. my impression is that we will have people that so far has not participated. that will start participating precisely because they believe in democracy precisely because they believe in a social republic. in france we are not just republicans. we also believe that the republic should be social fronts has never been more profitable for the past 3 years. and there are record profits recorded in the tech count, which is the top 40 companies here. look, inequalities can't keep getting worse, that's not possible. and that's what we're doing that we might sell, but far as the protest movement willing to go. that's a good question. look, even the protest movement. people disagree depending on what you do,

you will act differently, students and teachers. we don't do the same thanks. people who work, you know, in service the service industry will not take the same way that people work in the industry. there's a sizable minority who wants to radicalize, but what really will matter in my opinion is how we will all be together next thursday. and next thursday will be the real, you know, thermometer that's when will know where we stand. okay, we'll leave it there. thank you so much. gabriella. tunzia, for speaking to us from paris. fighting continues and back moved the bloodiest battlefield in the war in ukraine. so the institute for the study of wars as russia's wagner mercenary group is nearing culmination in it, siege of the city. and according to the russia, back leader of ukraine donates region, the situation for russian forces and back loot is difficult because there are no signs that key is ready to order. withdraw off its troops. stephanie decker is joining us. me. cranium. capital came to discuss more of what's happening in back
