second kenniff is starting to become clear a week after a tour through mozambique the government has confirmed that the death toll has reached forty one but that number is expected to rise many parts of mozambique are inaccessible with remote areas and small islands still waiting for aid supplies our correspondent i've increased travel to ebo an island in the north of the country that was hit especially hard. we are onboard an aid flight headed towards the brick ation island of now for the first time we get an aerial view of the massive destruction up till now flights have hardly been possible due to the strong rain. i've never seen anything like this in this entire villages that are completely destroyed not a single house standing and if you look at the trees most of them fell down just like toothpicks. now we're about to land on the island of e-books the first aid packages have arrived but this is by far not enough to help out the six thousand

people living here. the island has been almost completely destroyed nearly all the houses have been torn down including that of shamu rai for days she has been trying to bring order to the chaos. momo mingin and our beds our clothes we have lost everything we are doing our best to put things in order again at least the sun is shining at least dry the few clues that we have managed to salvage. it has been raining nonstop for nearly the entire week since the cyclon hit shows us her house what is left of it this is where she and her children lived. in you at that day but they don't feel the wind was so incredibly strong that it ripped away nearly everything we lost everything now we don't have anything do you

know. i don't know if we will receive any kind of aid but nothing is left i don't have a job or field was destroyed it. i am a single mother i have to take care of my children and i have to take care of my parents my mother is sick we have to do our best to make ends meet. nearly everyone who lives here has found their way of life ripped away from them most of them are fishermen but many boats were washed away with the storm those that remained have to be repaired the mangroves were destroyed as well and the fish disappeared and have not returned since the cyclon hit. the few tells on the island we're also hard hit it might be a while before the cheeriest return. most people are completely destroyed it looks as a bulldozer drove over this little city here

a lot of people have no place to stay anymore so they had to build little shacks like this one but many of told me they don't know how life will continue because they don't have the money to. her children can't spend the nights in their own house anymore because the danger of it collapsing on them is too great. so they have to take their only remaining bat and all eight of them sleeping under an improvised roof their food just slowly running out they still have some fruit and vegetables but is only enough for one meal a day but she tries to stay optimistic nonetheless she wants her children to know that one way or another she will make things work. out that report from adrienne krishna and he joins us for more on the story from pemba on the mainland hi adrienne good to see you those images of utter destruction we saw there were so

dramatic tell us more about what you've been seeing and hearing from people where you've been reporting. you know what i saw in these villages that are cut off from the outside world is really shocking and looked like a movie to me but it is reality for a lot of people living there the families you have seen in the reports when i met them they haven't eaten the whole day they were hoping that late of the day maybe a relative would come by bring them some food so that they had least have one meal a day up until now and on this island they haven't started food distributions because only a few items could arrive the last days many flights were grounded because it was raining it was not possible to get aid there so that's why i'm standing in panama right now in front of one of the food trucks and one of the deliveries eight deliveries that are here but they are needed outside and the organizations here despite me trying to get them there what about the mozambique government's relief efforts is it on top of this. well if you have a situation whereby like evil people who haven't received any food aid after one

week after the cyclon i don't think we can say the government is on top of its of course there where the weather challenges the president was yesterday he visited other communities as well you promised to help but now action is needed but what is also clear is that the mozambican government alone can't handle this issue we've seen it thousands of people starting from zero again they've lost everything and they of course also hoping for international support our correspondent andrea increased speaking to us earlier there to syria now where over the past seven years the kurds have succeeded in carving out an autonomous region in the north of the country but with the u.s. pulling out its troops from syria that region is now under threat from the assad regime as well as from turkey which regards the kurds as a terrorist threat. this is the town of derek near the turkish border to see a group of kurdish women are preparing to face potential attacks. these women are not fair weather warriors. braving the rain they have come to practice their

marksmanship. of their house wives mothers and grandmothers but they're also part of the s.p.c. gen an all female militia that sprung up all of a coach controlled more than syria. this group from the town of derek is led by sharon farmer a veteran of the struggle for kurdish rights for. gays b.c. gen was formed as an internal security force but back at base sharon says the women will also stand up to any outside threat. i'm not saying we are not afraid of our enemies and we are all was well prepared for them was on the bed our enemies threaten as daily we will fight and sacrifice for this land. the kurds expelled the outside regime from northern syria when the civil war broke out in twenty eleven they have since been autonomous. but the regime has

a lingering presence. it's a hold on to some neighborhoods in the town of commercially the capture of the kurdish region and now that it is winning the war. goes once for control of the country. turkey visible from the rooftops of the border town commission is also hostile to kurdish self rule in syria. in the kurdish region it's not unusual for women to pick up a gun. thousands joined the fight against islamic state and many did not return home. they lie buried in cemeteries like this one coming. the kurds who control northern syria an offshoot of the p.k. a guerrilla group that waged a bloody insurgency in turkey and that's been designated a terrorist organization by nato. its lead up to actually on has been sitting in a turkish jail since one thousand nine hundred nine from a cell he now preaches ideals such as full equality for women it's an idea that the

syrian kurds have been putting into practice so you know it's a co-president of the autonomous government base and coming here government positions a coach at by a woman the whole mission. to show you what we consider this revolution to be the revolution of women. we're trying to change the mentality within our society by implementing gender equality you know what you know islami ones would ask creating a new society based on democratic governance. and have a video of them. back at home sherry in pakistan or for a son and daughter. she says that action inspired her to join the kurdish resistance in syria when she was still a teenager. who. could have. hocussed if he spoke she landed a lot for. before he came we almost forgot that we are kurds because of the

oppression and the denial of the kurdish identity by our enemies one platform warm enough. on sharon's phone memories of a fight for kurdish rights it's been a long struggle and she took time to defend the hard won gains. let's get a round up now of some other stories making news around the world spanish police have arrested eleven people as part of an investigation into a people smuggling ring they say border officials in algeria and morocco worked with bangladesh based traffickers to smuggle hundreds of people from asia across the mediterranean migrants reportedly paid up to twenty thousand euros each indian authorities are evacuating hundreds of thousands of people as a major storm approaches the country's east coast cycle and finally is packing to wrench will rain and winds of up to two hundred kilometers per hour it's expected to make landfall near the seaside resort of puharich on friday. and joining us on

just appeared before a london court for the first hearing over a u.s. extradition request washington wants the wiki leaks founder to face trial for allegedly trying to hack a pentagon computer assad says he does not wish to surrender to extradition on wednesday assad received a fifty week jail term for skipping bail in two thousand and twelve. to venezuela now where president nicolas maduro has called on the military to fight anyone plotting a coup this after opposition leader one guy though called for a series of strikes hoping to force modo to hand over power where though was called the move the final phase in ousting mother would go but the protests have so far not broken the political stalemate clashes yesterday in caracas left one woman dead and dozens injured why though declared himself to be venezuela's interim president back in january a move supported by the u.s. germany and several other european and latin american countries i think and let's get some analysis on that story now we have with us professor of political science

at the university of rostock and he's an expert on venezuela because thank you so much for joining us in our studio the first now why though as we heard there has been recognized internationally by various countries including germany and the u.s. as the interim president of venezuela they were fairly early to do so to to recognize him as the interim president and now this crisis continues to play forward it's been going on for months now were europe and the u.s. germany as well too early in recognizing well perhaps but we have to go back to the situation in general this year where the overall select the new president of the assembly i must muster none of the national assembly a freely elected parliament the freely elected parliament and he appeared to be a little bit in this well and obama. that he symbolized hope and promise to old. this is your position so the people were with him in venezuela

end the people outside of in this way and perhaps this was well organized we don't know that up to now but perhaps there were some previous diplomatic action specially from the united states and from latin american states who prepared the situation so we got caught up in the momentum of it germany and europe perhaps the u.s. as well has not really affected their ability germany's ability to influence the situation on the ground in trying to resolve this conflict the conflict is long it started nearly fifteen years ago we have demonstrations many for station since nearly fifteen years and it's very complicated because who are the partners for a dialogue everybody wants a dialogue specially in the european union but brazil don't accept the opposition and they don't accept. he says this is a young man very primitive what to whom when i talk to. this new

face did not have the real power and this marks a situation until now and specially if i'm. resigning but it doesn't look. has any intention to resign and we don't know if the military men are interested in not over to resign because a little bit he does the job for them. nicolas vast professor of political science at the university of all stripes joining us here in our studio thank you very much thanks to you. now german chancellor angela merkel is on a three day tour of west africa which will include a visit to german troops in mali on wednesday she promised millions of euros in german aid to help fight terrorism and support economic development in the g five countries for kenya faso mali we share more attaining and chad a condom is in the region are suffering due to poor security and conflict and poverty are driving migration to europe. the german chancellor has come to the

sawhill to show solidarity in a region where countries like book enough. have to spend more than a fifth of their budgets on security germany has some eight hundred fifty soldiers stationed in mali as part of the un force machall pledged support to continue to build up the g. five own capabilities to tackle terrorism. but the joint meeting in water due to five leaders called on the chancellor and europe to help solve the political conflicts behind the violence. that. we talked about the situation in libya that questions concerning it and sudan and also first and foremost the impact of the crisis in libya on security in the extended region. we were all of the opinion that it is important that europe's leaders and

institutions make a plea in favor of the g. five so help for all of these issues since these are of course questions that concern us. because on the good side of. the fact that germany didn't agree with the two thousand and eleven bombing of libya that ousted moammar gadhafi gives it great credibility here accepts europe's joint responsibility. it's the responsibility that also affects europe because if chaos gets the upper hand here which we would like to prevent that would also make itself felt in other areas also germany's message here is that while it won't deliver weapons it will keep up its support for the d. five in the sorrow region where the former colonial power france continues to do most of europe's heavy lifting in fighting terrorists. german chancellor angela merkel wants to reassure the region countries the g five that they're not alone in

their fight against terrorism she's brought some fifty million euros in first funds phobic enough aso and he said alone at the same time germany still stop sort of from missing anything beyond military advice and the eight hundred fifty soldiers currently stationed in mali as part of the east stabilization force for now france will remain the big player here in the region. now italy's populist government has opened its new minimum income welfare program fulfilling a key campaign promise to try to reduce poverty and unemployment the new system for poor households provides more money than current unemployment benefits but critics say italy cannot afford it the country's debt load is the second highest in europe after greece. rafaela ferraro got the good news a couple of days ago their application for a basic income has been approved she's just one of some seven hundred thousand to

talian citizens who will soon receive the new social benefit for years rafaela has been getting by doing odd jobs she's a single mom with a seventeen year old daughter. knows that authentic my hope is that from now on we won't be limited to just buying what's on sale we might sometimes be able to buy something better method of humanity rafaela finds out how much she will receive in the coming days the highest possible amount is seven hundred eighty euros but few will receive that much it depends on the recipient's income and their assets rafaela receives three hundred euros a month in child support from the father of a daughter so she's hoping for about four to five hundred euros even before it begins the program has been heavily criticized by many in the e.u. italy currently has record levels of debt and many experts believe the country can't afford a program like this with a price tag of about six billion euros but the criticism isn't good tearing luigi

demaio his five star movement wants to get the program up and running before european elections. it was one of their election promises very important ambition of this government especially for the five star which has come under increasing pressure in recent months. italian authorities have been busy with applications for weeks a lot to do with the payments will be strictly monitored money won't go directly into bank accounts rather on to special credit cards it's strictly forbidden for example to buy lottery tickets buy items online and book airline flights but experts doubt if the system will have the effect on the country's economy but the government promises. that. the basic income is rich understates investment policies that were implemented by many european countries up until well into the one nine hundred seventy s. and then bit by bit disappeared. rafaela ferraro says she will vote for the

fun stuff movement next time she goes to the polls she's grateful for the money but she would rather have a job. now israel has been marking holocaust memorial day the commemoration of the six million jews murdered in world war two comes amid the largest spike in anti-semitic violence in decades experts say part of the reason is that memories of the holocaust are slowly fading now a new projects come up with an innovative way to keep those memories alive and our reporter been following this story for us karl tell us more i mean how do you keep just kind of passing those memories on from generation to generation so it's not an easy thing to do so the idea here is to use instagram to bring holocaust stories the stories of those who perished and survived to a younger audience and you can really think of this as similar to and frank's diary but just imagine if and frank instead of a diary she have a smartphone. this film depicting the german army entering hungary during world war two might look like

a hollywood film production but it's not in fact it was shot on a smartphone and portrayed format for an instagram audience it tells the true story of thirteen year old eva hyman in nineteen forty four she kept a daily journal for three months before the nazis deported to auschwitz even a story is told in the first person as if she had a smartphone during the holocaust and could have regularly documented it on instagram israeli tech entrepreneur monte coffee personally financed the project and together with his daughter directed it with the help of social media they're trying to establish a new way to remember the horrors of the holocaust museums and books from important we bring them in a meaningful and c.s. way into the social media and. and young people to learn about it and young uses are already starting to discuss story online many have suggested the effect heavy instagram portrayal is too superficial for a story of such suffering others appeared to be embarrassed we break yeah yeah but

the media. has traditionally been in the past so i would say that was a little bit taken aback thousands are now learning about the fate of. she gave her diary to a neighbor shortly before she was deported to auschwitz it survived she did not she was murdered in october of nineteen forty four. karl it's a really interesting approach and give us more background on this project that means a powerful story and to tell it i mean this isn't your typical kind of low budget instagram production this was a big deal and really spent millions of dollars producing it you saw the director there he spent millions on a cast and crew of nearly four hundred people there were authentic military costumes tanks and trucks as you saw in the video there he also developed a special camera at the. actress could use as if that were her smartphone basically to film to film that way so far it seems to the money seems to be paying off well

spent in just a few weeks this account has now gone more than eight hundred thousand dollars a lot of people have their eyes on this that's the question how is it being received yeah i mean as we heard a lot of people really think this is a great job of bringing these stories to life but there is some criticism but secularly in israel some people say you know instagram in this kind of selfie culture it's not the most appropriate way to tell stories that are so serious like the holocaust and you know the videos they don't shy away from using this language of instagram you see hashtags here like hash tag life during war and a location tag that simply says ghetto so so you might argue look you know that might be a little bit insensitive when it comes to telling stories about the holocaust there is though some one very high profile supporter that would be israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu himself and here's what he had to say about the project who is who the girl is now i want to encourage you each and every one of you to also make

a story about people who were murdered in the holocaust so that the world will understand and so that we will remember what we've lost and what we've gained back with the establishment of the stakes in israel. because. yes one high profile supporter they're calling on other people to tell stories make their own videos you know in the end projects like these are not only meant to to pass on the memories and these these horrible atrocities to the younger generation also meant to grab attention and clearly that project has been successful in doing the now really interesting project there carl write our protocol now it's been looking into this story for us thank you very much and we will leave you now with some images of israel commemorating holocaust remembrance day with sirens sounding this morning. were. never.
