can be done to improve safe access to water is next for nickel. oh indeed it is indeed absolutely one of the most critical components in terms of ensuring that people don't become sick. and as you said the scale of devastation is significant so you know it's going to take some time a lot is happening years months of supporters of courtin from iran mozambique i think it's fair to say that you know the mozambique to which is the mozambique government. and in a state of an impressive response they quickly called for international assistance on it and it's good to see that the international community has responded quickly. but of course as your. as your report indicated on the introduction we're still not able to get to some areas now on a daily basis the waters are receding so every day we can get through to places that were previously inaccessible but we don't underestimate the scale of the task

ahead of us to ensure that those that of lost everything come you know we minimize the pressure comes the suffering that we now and your boat it's a monumental tough that we have we have ahead of us ok robert holden of the world health organization thank you for that. thank you the red cross has reached an agreement with the government of venezuela to send a humanitarian aid to the stricken country the organization organization says the deliveries will arrive in the next two weeks and help more than half a million people around sixty countries recognize the opposition leader one why though as venezuela's interim president he's repeatedly tried to bring aid into the country but he's been blocked each time by forces loyal to sitting president nicolas maduro. was divided politics on the streets of caracas my angry and uncertain who's

maturity blocks who i doze own attempts to bring aid convoys into the country china which backs majeure i ascend to sit months of age now the red cross is also poised to help. you. we think this in fifteen days we would be able to start providing the aid we've committed ourselves to you know it's a multiple is already asleep this doesn't resolve the problems in venezuela a new one should assume this is a complete solution. adding to the problems of blackouts this the third in a month that probably caused by neglected infrastructure but majority blame sabotaged by quite in the us another example of a country whose people simply being left in the dark. and down to some of the other stories making news around the world. and health officials say israeli troops

killed one man in gaza in clashes as demonstrations got underway thousands are marching to mark one year since the start of the weekly protest called the march of return palestinians started the protests to demand a return to areas in what is now israel. u.s. attorney general william barr has told the u.s. congress he'll release a redacted version of special counsel what robert muller's report by mid april are has already made public a four page summary of the investigation saying it found no collusion between the trunk campaign and russia but democrats in congress want to see all five hundred plus pages of the report to. british lawmakers have dealt prime minister theresa may another big blow on the day britain was supposed to leave the e.u. the british parliament rejected the withdrawal deal she negotiated with brussels for the third time now britain could crash out of the e.u. without a deal on april twelfth. the guy is to the right two hundred eighty

six the nose for the left three hundred forty four so the nerves have it the news have it on well once again a vote in parliament and once again a defeat for the government for the third time prime minister teresa mayes breaks a plan failed. mr speaker i fear we are reaching the limits of this process in this house this house. this house has rejected no deal it has rejected no bricks it on wednesday it rejected all the variations of the deal on the table and today it has rejected approving the withdrawal agreement alone unless something changes britain is now said to leave the e.u. on april twelve may could request a new vote an extension or even cancel breaks it or call any referendum but it's uncertain how long she will remain prime minister leading conservatives are already

positioning themselves to replace her and the opposition also wants her to leave. this is the house has been clear this deal now has to change the has to be an alternative found and if the prime minister card to accept that then she must go not at an indeterminate date in the future but now the e.u. had anticipated may's defeat and will hold a special summit on april tenth just two days before britain may now have to leave the union. we'll be moody you just become more likely. scenario. to you twenty seven is no. that would actually be good news for these people break. supporters were poised to

celebrate their departure from the e.u. on friday. but now it's doubtful they'll get what they want we have a vote we'll have a democratic that needs to count. to die we want this law to great to get us out soon as possible and that by going to trial you have to fear. no deal new elections a second referendum no breaks it in fact anything is still possible the british parliament has once again voted and once again still nothing is clear. to shed a little more light on the situation we're joined now by dean potts who is in front of parliament in london the u.k. was supposed to be waking up today outside of the e.u. instead nothing's really been decided how are people reacting. well the mood is quite somber today in london i would say frankly people are asking

themselves what is happening next nobody can follow this whole game of parliament and the government anymore and as you mentioned yesterday was supposed to be the day where the u.k. leaves the european union there were a lot of leaf supports us out in the streets here thousands indeed and they were marching to demand an end to this immediately they were marching to demand that the u.k. exits the european union immediately at the same time there is hope now on the pro european side here in the u.k. that there might be a second referendum that there might be a momentum for a softer brecht's that or even for a no breaks it at all but in general i think people just really want to get on with the topic after years of political infighting about this. is it possible for to research the same question a fourth time. she could and she has been very resilient throughout this process that is something to say about to reset main she's very

determined or she seems very determined to bring the deal back for a fourth time in front of parliament but so far the majority is hasn't really changed and her favor and it looks very unlikely that she would get it through when she puts it in front of parliament for a fourth time at the same time parliament us on monday discussing alternative options for example whether there might be a majority to remain in the customs union to hold a second referendum but we have to remember at this point it comes down to two options and those options are that the u.k. leaves on april twelfth without a deal that could have catastrophic consequences for the country for the people for the economy and for the european union of course as well or the other option is set to resume a goes back to brussels asks for and a longer extension if the european union says yes we can do that then that would mean that the u.k. will participate. it in the european elections that are coming up in may and that would also leave quite frankly a lot of people here in the u.k.

very upset so that european election a may if the u.k. is participating could end up being a mini referendum on whether to stay in the european union an endless cliffhanger thanks so much for that show love to have thoughts in london you're watching the news live from berlin coming up next it is world stories with a special report on zimbabwe after cyclonic thanks to watch. city in ruins maron a. symbol of a long conflict in the philippines between the muslims and the christian population . as fighters occupied the city center in two thousand and seventeen president to church's response was crucial. i take it or it will never gain
