this is you know we do zion from berlin mozambique bears the brunt of another giant cycle of tropical storm canada only shiz high winds and torrential rains on this beleaguered nation destroying homes and pushing thousands of people in lead just six weeks after psycho eat a submerged and devastated the country also coming up the longest says the suspected ringleader of the easter sunday attacks died in one of the hotel bombings but authorities warn more attacks could be imminent and tens of thousands of anti

army protesters pour into hard to flooding sudan's capital to rally in support of a civilian government there answering the call for a million strong march outside army headquarters to demand the ruling military council seat power. well all right thank you so much for your company everyone we start off in mozambique this south east african nation is bearing the brunt of an intense tropical cyclone this once called kenneth it first made landfall in the kemar us islands before hitting the mainland was and because still reeling from the aftermath of psycho need a last month and it's the first time in recorded history that two cyclers have struck mozambique in one season over the next ten days this cycle own is expected

to dump twice as much rainfall as the previous one. holidaymaker dares to confront nature at its most extreme. case a resort in northern mozambique as the eye of the cycle on passes through kenya barreling into a country still reeling from a deadly storm just weeks ago. he waged war on the comrades islands remnants of a night of for russia's winds and pounding rain drivers and cyclists navigate the leftovers. several are dead here but authorities say the fill picture is yet to emerge. that it is difficult to get access because many trees fell many electrical and telephone poles fell so for the moment we are clearing the roads so we can make an initial assessment.

as kenneth cut its path of destruction residents found refuge in a marriage and shelters like this one. and a place to sleep but no rest bite from the reality of what awaits them at home. it's a huge disaster that we not used to seeing thank god to escape the worst but we really need her one of those and it that said. the problem was that there was a strong wind that demolished the houses but of rescuers found us shelters while we slept low nobody was injured and we didn't so thank god. for now many here grateful to be come join the cost in terms of chaos rather than casualties. well we're joined now by so butters assistant country director of care in mozambique a good day sir what's the situation on the ground right now as

a result of this source specially for the people of mozambique. we're still. collecting information and trying to understand the specific impacts of this storm . but your of course the sense it's no longer to understand the initial impact we have teams on the. ground will start conducting assessments and what i know from the team is there is the study of heavy rainfall which is likely to continue for the next few days the satellite imagery of forecasting suggests that as much as a year's rainfall is going to fall in in areas in a period of around two or three days so we're certainly concerned about the potential of flopping. in a similar way to what we saw in the. right because mozambique of course as you reference is still recovering from one of the deadliest storms on record cycle on

a day that hit just its shores just weeks ago and now this tropical storm how prepared is this beleaguered nation for what is shaping to be a humanitarian catastrophe. what is always a very well prepared we have we have international teams of experts from around the world already located in mozambique operating on a very similar disaster so we have in country capacity at the moment which is a very helpful and i think that's been reflected in the successful evacuation process that's been can carried out by the government and the red cross there. however only the other side of that is we have massive investments in times of people and money trying to cope with the initial recovery and the emergency response so it's like only a guy. and this is really going to stretch our capacities in the humanitarian sector and the government and in terms of how much money is available to respond to

this of the living now the timing of this storm a course that's putting the country at a severe disadvantage what are the most urgent priorities right now for authorities and relief organizations like yours. the most urgent need is to understand exactly the dynamics of what we're facing john understand where people have been affected and how they've been affected of what we can do to support these people typically you look for evacuation and actually to get people in to save. them provide shelter and search and rescue in the in the first days so the first as we identify people who are suffering and see what we can do in terms of bringing materials to help them through the. sabater is from my care in mozambique thank you sir for taking out the time to speak to us. i'd like to bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world.

massing outside army headquarters ever since the ousting of president omar al bashir just over two weeks ago. all right and with me here is our very own jafar advocating who has just returned from sudan great to have you here with us again extraordinary images coming out of a heart to thousands of people surrounding the army h.q. demanding they see the power you just returned from higher to what's the atmosphere like the that we just saw is where you see every day on the streets of course to people are angry people are frustrated people say we will protect our revolution with our blood too i even heard this phrase because people say you know it's either no or never we have to protect our revolution the military council should hand over the power to a civilian council that's what we want and the thing as we will not accept ok now how much stress is there that the military will make good on its promise to hold elections and allow for civilian consistence is the thing going on according what i

see and when i talk to the people i don't think they trust the military because they just look to their neighbors in egypt and they know what happened there so they have the feeling the military is saying no it's only a part it's only a small amount of time where we are in power but they are afraid that the military will take over the power for a longer time and that's that's why they are very persistent on saying no we don't want to have a ministry in power ok so we know what the protesters don't want us gone with the army yes what do they want when do they agree on you know the protesters are here through a genius group from people who are different parties you have this is the news as a profession is as. and you have the youth of the revolution you have everyone today in sudan says on the river person i'm a protester you know there's no one unity among democrats and that's you should understand it i mean thirty years of dictatorship and now suddenly you cannot imagine that they are united because i even heard you know people saying the dictator is gone but the dictatorship is not done and when you talk to the people

they never had this opportunity to express their opinion to say what they think there's no political structures organization it's all now happening people are it's a discovering of politics is discovery of being part is the discovery of having a voice so they are not united to have the audience of freedom and change they are down the anti government and. military but among them they are also not united and they don't unite all protesters and this is important to say because when we look from here from they say from berlin to to to sudan with thing it's all organized and you have. parties and all of that but it's not the case everyone in the street feels like i have a voice no i want to talk i want to protest because there was no civil society so you're brushing grass roots movements exact forming a civil society in real time what i wonder you've been there too far yes why is the army taking a wait and see approach because they could just go into squashes protests what are

they afraid of they are too smart to do this they are giving the people the feeling we are for you we support you we love you we're protected you from the very bad guy person alba she the president a dictator and we are the one who made the last step in order to letting him step down and now they are observing you know it's kind of observing even when you look at the sit in area where the protesters are it's at the headquarters you see everyone observing they know everything going on and they will not give the people of the feeling that we are against you they would do it that the right time record . what i see and what i observed that they would do it at the right time when there is no unity and then they say here we are again we are the ones we can unite to we are the ones who can protect you because protection and security is also what. part of the people's thinking the whole time because you know over the wars that happen in sudan people are sick somehow afraid and they say they could protect us but we

want the cabinet and the power to be by civilians so it's going to be really interesting to see what's going to happen will it end like egypt or will the protestors they know will not accept it so the next day is the next week's would be saying it more and more are a very very crucial there for advocating thank you so very well currently appreciate it thank you. next up spain is gearing up for its third general election in just four years this weekend prime minister petro sanchez is leading the polls but neither his socialist nor the conservative people's party are expected to get an outright majority well that means they will need help in forming a coalition from smaller parties which are enjoying a surge in support for our correspondent lisa louise visited some rural communities near the spanish city of tara well where many feel forgotten by mainstream politicians the two big traditional parties are scrambling to regain their trust. and a kill claimant has decided to speak out for anti spain she grew up in this village

with three hundred inhabitants one bar and a bakery only open for an hour a day now she's running for parliament in the province of parallel for the conservative people's party. nothing in representing ten well would make me really happy. if every piece of good news is being celebrated by everybody here. and even if it doesn't concern all of us directly we are like a big family if you look at even up the media she takes us to a nearby village with one hundred thirty inhabitants the local people around government recently convinced someone to run the villages only shop and bar by not charging up in any rent the village hadn't had a grocery shop for three years but that hasn't convinced everybody here to bring people that are not in the good. order of. the provinces completely

isolated we don't have proper infrastructure our trains are falling apart and are really slow the traditional parties have promised action and pledged millions of euros but they just haven't delivered from it your options are now that. we want to implement an action plan for the countryside and take special measures intended well. we've been fighting for people here for a long time. i just don't trust the political class anymore. they all talk about grand ideas but afterwards there are parts of spain that are just forgotten. or. desperate and disappointed people are putting their hopes in smaller more radical parties in the provincial capital we need model b.s. from the far left party who need us put there most she's promising voters a breath of fresh air and

a fresh start. and another the traditional parties have governed spain for forty years and are responsible for the emptying of the countryside people should have the courage to vote for our innovative policies they will bring people back. we will build new roads and train lines and create more job opportunities for women . like the smaller parties raquel's says the p.p. also has a massive plan to bring us back to the countryside she's promising better infrastructure and more support for farmers and better internet access it is that it that people should trust us to make the most out of their vote not vote for the smaller parties the fewer seats our party has the less it will be able to do for the countryside. but the elections are expected to show that spaniards not just in a drawer lariats but across the country are losing faith in the traditional parties

and winning that back will take more than just promises. the last week of april is world immunization week and this year the health officials have been sounding the alarm over falling back summation rates worldwide as well as new disease outbreaks measles. cases have skyrocketed over three hundred percent in the first three months of this year and health officials say anti vaccination campaigns here in germany are making the problem even worse. than the five year old memory has not been vaccinated her mother is against it she's afraid vaccines will damage her daughter or compromised her health. that stands for no obvious anger flung me as when i was hiking and i started looking at every illness someone how do you get them the course of each disease the worst case scenarios and how effective vaccines are and what negative side effects the vaccines have. and how much for me

and then i weighed the risks and benefits. and i'm just not that afraid of many illnesses for fear. she's also not afraid of measles one of the most dangerous childhood illnesses in germany it kills one in a thousand patients studies find that complications arising from the vaccine are much rarer but many parents mistrust the science they are more afraid of the vaccine than the disease something pediatrician you're going to claim us says he has experienced. oh. yes how. many people don't know about these diseases anymore. and especially with the measles vaccine which is very controversial right now like. this there's a lot of misinformation on the internet. the german federal center for health education says not just too few children but also too few adults are being

vaccinated that can be dangerous newborns for instance are too young to be vaccinated they rely on what's called herd immunity that is when at least ninety five percent of the population is that zenaida viruses cannot spread. germany has yet to reach that level of immunity that's why some politicians and doctors are now calling for mandatory vaccinations for preschool children twelve other e.u. countries have already introduced compulsory vaccination measures. the global. believe that criminal law would apply followings could be imposed people could also be prohibited from visiting community facilities. that would mean that unvaccinated children would not be allowed to go to preschool jennifer says that wouldn't persuade her. expression of this i wouldn't like that and i certainly would not like to be forced to do anything by the state and i would

want to do it of my own accord having received so much information that i'd say. yes that's a great idea of the day. jennifer says if she must she would go to court over it her daughter will not be vaccinated any time soon. is this is this is a very topical issue here in germany or across the world let's talk more with dr siddhartha he is the program manager of the vaccine preventable diseases and immunization program at the world health organization's europe office a very good evening sir there are outbreaks of measles in areas around the world how concerned are you that the disease could spread to other hot spots and how contagious is it thank you so much you know lucy is one of the most contagious infectious disease that you know human history has ever known and from doug lute european feet in regards dreamily concern about the high rise of

weaves of that we have seen in two in two thousand and eighteen which is actually followed in two thousand and two what basically this theory is that there are pockets of unvaccinated children and vaccinated population and the measles virus being so infectious and it will find those on backs in to children and vaccinated people so we have to ensure every member state every country or every community need to make sure that you do have protection from those is measles and get the coverage offered on ninety five percent to ensure that the measles these users don't happen or even any of them use a virus comes in it dies its course so we are. you know console in front of me to the point greta ok now let's tackle this issue a head on a can you for the record state conclusively whether or not there is for instance an autism vaccine link what is a scientific communities position on this claim made by some anti vaccine.

you know let's just put it they're really strict but they're there so see asian which has been told to between to me though these are the measles vaccine and autism kind of has been has been has been debunked far many years so that is known as the situation between the audi's them and their measles vaccine so why does but why does it persist why do a third of citizens across the e.u. according to the e.u. commission believe that vaccinations cause the very illnesses they are supposed to protect against hasta w h o failed in its communication with the public ok i think we have to see this entire thing in the context of the vaccination colonies in the vase to majority of the patten do vaccinate that you and i think that is what we need to understand the coverage of meet those in the in the region is that on ninety to ninety two percent that means voc majority of our patents do back off course concerns about vaccinations that's understandable and because

everyone you want the best for the chinese i think big did they approach should be that we will should be able to answer the questions and the concerns my patents have got when they come for a vaccination any questions they have water for me to use whatever contacts these we should be able to give them credible and reliable information but why is that and i think you know why don't they believe you because there's a growing number of parents who are refusing to vaccinate their children and endangering other people in the process. but i think it's not it's not that they are not believing that there are several information rich on every level in the internet these days and i think this is the responsibility of every few zeeshan every pediatrician every health care worker to use and providing those facts and reliable information to the parents at the time when they do have those questions i think they have to be made in

a more comprehensible way in which that is more understandable by my parents went dark ok christian and i'm right across mississippi that's a program manager of the vaccine preventable diseases enemy has ation for graham for the world bank sir thank you so much for spending time with us thank you and the news asia is up next and i'll see you get at the top of the hour.
