are buried somewhere under these boulders and mud. al-jazeera zimbabwe. the secretary general of the international federation of the red cross and red crescent societies he visited mozambique early on friday and says the country's sitting on a sanitation time bomb. i visited yesterday one school fifteen classrooms six dialects but three thousand people in that school the school itself is flooded. and we're sitting really on the water and sanitation ticking bomb and we're all afraid of the sea water borne diseases develop and we working together with many other partners including with the government to improve the quality of those shelters and help people as much it is possible to recover some form of dignity and safety but is urgent limited shelf. temporary when it is possible have been people to start rebuilding for the long what is urgently needed also is of course water sanitation and hygiene facilities which is the best way to prevent water borne diseases and it is not i need it because many have been lost and they are under water and. they are the number of children affected many. lost their parents right now we will find the links for some parents are alive and unfortunately often children that will have to be taken care of and the need. huge and there must be that mention and the response also to be multidimensional. on this al jazeera news hour including widespread condemnation of donald trump's plan to recognize israeli sovereignty over the golan heights which belongs to syria. anger against politicians in iraqi city of mosul after a ferry accident killed at least one hundred people and australian cricketer cameron bryan croft returns from a nine month ball tampering ban and walk straight into a new team mass captain will have the details in sports. the united states has declared victory over i saw in syria the white house says i saw has been cold one hundred percent eliminated from his territory in syria the u.s. defense secretary patrick shanahan briefed the president was traveling on air force one u.s. banks forces have been fighting isone in syria since twenty fourteen as we said the u.s. acting defense secretary briefed president as he was traveling on air force one about the updates from syria alan fischer has this report from washington everything red is isis. now. saying there is no. declared victory against or isis as he calls it several times. days ago in the south lawn of the white house he insisted again the self-proclaimed caliphate. fact there's actually a tiny spot which will be gone by tonight he had already announced the end of eisel back in february but the group still had at least one stronghold in syria and one point i still controlled a huge territory in syria and iraq an area roughly the size of mainland britain. don't trump has wanted to end u.s. operations in syria for a while then in december he suddenly announced he would withdraw two thousand troops it was such a surprise it provoked the resignation of defense secretary jim mattis and criticism from allies world white now he plans to keep four hundred troops in country pushed by the pentagon and allies in part to stop any researches of the case of syria is a strange game of musical chairs in the point is this is not just for the united states but for russia iran turkey and israel whoever is intervene in syria is do not have a seat when the music stops because no one wants to pay for the reconstruction of a country and we have one against isis this year alone president trump predicted the end of i saw thirteen times that we will have one hundred percent of the caliphate i think president trump wants to emphasize that isis is militarily defeated he's not wrong it's just that as an organization it carries on and we have to make sure that it doesn't come back otherwise we really truly do get stuck in endless wars in the middle east donald trump wanted to be the man who defeated eisel as a territorial force. but he'll be told quite clearly this group hasn't gone away alan fischer i'll just say you know washington let's not speak she have a tendency also in washington for as she have as alan said then his report trump had been teasing this victory for days in if not months and now the official announcement from the white house but u.s. backed forces on the ground saying different. i would have several factors to you on the line from alan's package i think the white house is well aware of these that the small print in this announcement first of all they are being very careful in all their statements that talking about the territorial caliphates of isis that all talk about isis itself as an idea or a group or ideology the desire to defeat that for the terror the i think donald trump's understanding of that is when the reasons why he plans from the campaign trail on words to pull u.s. troops out of the middle east for what he thought was a waste of time but they're saying that territorial caliph of the islamic states what was once a generous area which i so controlled that has now gone however the administration is acknowledging that skirmishes what is often called mopping up operations do continue not necessarily with u.s. forces but with syrian democratic forces the s.d.f. the coalition of syrian fighters fighting the islamic state they talked about a particular area outside bob who is the cliffs and the under the cliffs and tunnels and caves by the river wesco much is still taking place also interesting though that all these reports about the territorial caliphate of i still haven't been destroyed are coming from the white house the white house spokesperson said the that said that the department of defense has told donald trump vats the caliphate has been defeated we haven't have the any official statement from the pentagon yes we do know that the acting secretary of defense did brief donald trump on the flight for on air force one over to florida the day after was taken and she had the s.e.'s the kurdish back to u.s. forces in syria just now saying that heavy fighting continues around this last area held by ice so in eastern syria to they say finish off whatever remains of isis as you said not holding more territory even if this victory is announced is different from being from i so being completely defeated so what are the plans of the u.s. of the trump administration some troops will remain in syria. i mean this has been the back and forth that we've seen within the administration this was a campaign promise of donald trump i will bring back all of the u.s. troops from syria and he made it very clear to his ministration officials last year he wanted a timetable last year for the troops to come back in the end he made that announcement december we have conflicting reports either it was a total surprise or it wasn't a total surprise it depends on whom you also don't from thinking it was clear it was what he said on the campaign trail he says enough money has been spent by the u.s. the main reason for being there was ice isn't to fight iran and turkey can take care of iran turkey is more important than the kurds. and the fact the some of the reporting we did at the time he was saying look if russia or anyone else wants to spend all the money we have to have to spend in that area for some sort of regional strategic reasons let them do it and see if they get to do any better than we did that was generally the dog from thinking clearly he's been talked about by those around him he's now got much more hawkish advisors like john bolton around him who clearly feel iran is the biggest threat in syria not necessarily the islamic state and he does seem to convince not just by the hawks the neocons but also by the outcry from democratic and the military industrial complex and so on just to keep these two hundred troops that we still don't have an exact timetable or time to over how long they will be there actually is four hundred troops two hundred in one area two hundred in another area but it's also it's all a river but he isn't keeping his campaign promise it does it does actually raise some interesting questions about what happens when the u.s. president campaigns on bringing all the troops home and whether a president can actually achieve that given all the pressures and the foreign policy blog in washington d.c. thank you for that she have a. washington meanwhile there is growing condemnation of the u.s. president's plan to recognize the occupied golan heights has spotted israel russia's foreign ministry says any change in its status would violate u.n. agreements iran and syria have also criticized donald trump's tweet in which he said it's time the u.s. recognize the israeli sovereignty over the golan heights. he was captured from syria more than fifty years ago it's estimated twenty thousand israelis live there as well as twenty thousand. syrians that speak to our diplomatic editor james bays at the united nations for us james the syrian ambassador to the u.n. has been speaking what he said about trump's plan it's very interesting that right now we have the syrian ambassador to the u.n. bashar al jafri his position on this issue on the status of the goal line is that she close to many of the u.s. is european allies the they are to the u.s. it's an unusual situation i think i've spoken to some diplomats from some of those that normally close to the u.s. they feel somewhat queasy that they're on the same side as the assad regime and bashar al jaafari who when he spoke to reporters in the last couple of hours said this was a recipe for war we reaffirmed that the united states admit states administration has no right or mandate to decide the fate of the occupied. and that any tickle condition or any action that involves a violation of the syrian out of a public sovereignty over its occupied territory is in fact an act of aggression provocation and illegal act and a failure to comply with the united states' obligations as a permanent member of the security council but also as the host country of the united nations so james what can what will the u.n. security council do if anything about this issue. well not a lot i think is the answer here at the u.n. now the spokesperson for the secretary general being very careful with their words they stand by all the existing resolutions which are really clear that the goal is occupied territory for the security council itself currently on a mission in west africa so well away from here but this will come to the fore next week because there's a meeting on undock that's the peacekeeping operation that is based actually there on the golan separating the israeli side from the syrian side more than a thousand u.n. peacekeepers there so the president trumps tweet bound to guard there and i think creates a bit of a headache for many members of the security council what to say on this certainly it would be hard for the security council to condemn the u.s. decision even though the u.s. on his own can't change any resolutions but any statement of condemnation of course would be blocked by the u.s. because it is a permanent member of the security council james bay that diplomatic editor life for us at the united nations thank you james and that has been reaction on social media to a transplant to recognize the golan heights as israeli territory that's more about that. and it's tweets israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu thanked trump for his gesture at a time he says when iran six you syria as a platform to destroy israel but what about the country at the center of all of this syria while its foreign ministry says syria condemns in the strongest terms the earth sponsible statements the american president on the occupied syrian golan adding that it reaffirms the blind bias of the u.s. towards design a sort of patient entity and its unlimited support for aggressive behavior it goes on to say it reflects its content for international legitimacy and its fragrant violation of its resolutions especially security council resolution four nine seven and then this is interesting because not long ago jason green that is the u.s. special representative for international negotiations hates wheat it's time to recognize that the no comprehensive peace agreement without addressing the golan heights issue and his gets another u.s. reference to iran in this statement here because he says israel would never let go and be controlled by what he calls the failed states of syria or iran this has been happening at the same time as the un human rights council adopted a resolution earlier condemning what it calls israel's apparent intentional use of unlawful lethal and other excessive force against of course protesters in gaza now twenty three countries voted in favor of the measure with eight opposing it and fifteen abstentions now palestinians have also been reacting to this one of those is by political these are one in ashrawi and she wrote now that donald trump is enabling israel to still the golan heights and destroy the chances of peace with syria she asks how exactly does that serve israel's security and regional stability . to iraq now and search operations continue in mosul a day after a ferry carrying about two hundred people capsized the ministry of the interior says one hundred people have died mostly women and children at the main report some back that the people are angry in mosul protestors are calling the iraqi president and other government officials the news they say the government has failed to keep a check on the safety of ferries and how they're operated and they want justice for the victims. of this ferry was packed with people enjoying a holiday at an amusement park it didn't get far from the banks of the tigris river before capsizing social media video shows bystanders screaming passengers struggling against the swift current to get to safety dozens drowned most were women and children more than fifty people were rescued those do affirm and my wife and my daughters are in the water and those police officers are not letting me through leave me leave me let me go. this accident has been described as unprecedented the iraqi prime minister announced three days of mourning and iraqis placed candles along the banks of the tigris to remember the victims. the most important thing is to stay in solidarity with the victims' families and to treat the injured and pull the bodies out of the river iraqi civil defense says the boats operators allowed to many people on board exceeding its maximum capacity arrest warrants have been issued for the amusement park owner and the ferry operators they were accused of mismanagement and neglect but i was an eyewitness unfortunately they're using old ferries that lack safety equipment to that they exceeded the maximum weight a search operation is under way the floodgates of the mosul dam have been lowered to assist emergency workers the iraqi civil defense says one body has been recovered twenty kilometers downstream from where the boat capsized dozens of families have gathered at the morgue desperate for information about their loved ones so far the iraqi authorities have not said how many people are missing natasha going to name al-jazeera

humanitarian assistance in the coming days hundreds have died from the floodwaters caused by psych don't eat dry but officials warn the numbers on likely to rise and the white house says i saw has been quote one hundred percent eliminated from syria but u.s. backed syrian democratic forces say there is so heavy fighting with i saw in bargirls the last remaining pockets under the control of the. time now for a check of the stories making headlines in europe. in our london new center. thanks very much it's been a dramatic few days that with the european council president saying that anything is still possible set off to a short extension to the u.k.'s departure from the boat from minister tourism a had to ask for a delay until the end of june ass and summit day breaks it deal has already been defeated twice in parliament but the e.u. only agreed to postpone the departure until may twenty second and that's only if the prime minister manages to get m.p.'s on side if the deal is voted down again she will have until april twelfth to decide how to proceed. it means that the twelfth of april and the thing if possible do extensions if they decided to rethink its strategy of revoking article fifty which is a priority for the u.k. government. the fate of bridget this and so far a british friend. of a u we are prepared for the worst. but hope for the best if you love. hope dies last or france's president has accused probe to politicians of lying to the public and says the e.u. must protect itself on evolve if them or their idea of course is to ensure an organized withdrawal and have as much clarity as possible with regard to dates and conditions of the ritual so that the european union does not remain a hostage in the system that we need to get out of this checkmate we need the u.k. to come up with a credible alternative plan to ratify the agreement and of course maintain a good strong relationship with the u.k. journal is live at westminster and joins us now so jonah the e.u. has granted prime minister tourism a more time to push the deal through parliament but as things look at the moment it's very unlikely that she will win the support of the commons. well never say never but that's certainly how it looks now it looks as if she hasn't done enough and anything but in fact to turn around those two massive defeats the first and second meaningful votes on her deal so that it can go through next week possibly tuesday or wednesday the do you play the northern and. m.p.'s on whom she relies for her majority show no sign of shifting their opposition to the deal and the so-called irish backstop that they're so opposed to is evident hardening of views in her own party among m.p.'s who appear now to feel that no deal is better than a bad deal which is how they see her deal and among the opposition parties some of the m.p.'s who may have felt minded to support her a few days ago may now feel very differently after the assault she launched on m.p.'s and on parliament as a whole on wednesday night to accuse in parliament of being to blame for the mess that breaks it is in rather than she and her government so a lot of sympathy would have evaporated there it doesn't look good and should the commons vote down this withdrawal agreement what the terms in ways options then. well i mean that you have presented with a ray of great big question marks at that point one over her future there's a lot of pressure on her from senior members of her own party to resign at that point she's reportedly said she won't be stepping aside in order to make the process any easier but rather more urgently perhaps even than her own future would be the scramble to find a plan b. at that point because her deal would be comprehensively dead there is no evidence of a plan b. the e.u. would be waiting until april twelfth to hear what britain plans to do next also wanting to hear that britain is willing to participate in european parliamentary elections in order for a longer extension to become available and so to find this plan b. they will have to have a series of watercooled indicative votes panamint have been pushing for these for ages the government has consistently resisted it now looks like the government will allow this to happen it's a sort of menu range of all the options on the table a free vote likely so that m.p.'s don't vote along party lines choosing between the current deal softer deal no deal or no breaks it but there is no majority for any of these options even an evident majority which is why a lot of people now start to think that the no deal precipices merely moved a couple of weeks down the road to april to twelve and i thank you very much for the latest from westminster jonah how meanwhile the u.k. second largest city voted to leave the e.u. by a tiny margin and remains divided over now people on both sides of the debate say they are disappointed but the country's politicians eve barker reports from bombing them when many from the city's knowledge south asian community who initially set a changing their minds. thank you very much this is the sound of britain's political crisis. comes to the t.v. we david cameron lyrics that speak of a nation an odds with itself is mine. ninety's popstar patchy indian who now coaches new artists on how to confront politics and on when i say breakthrough what does it make you think it makes me think everything that is wrong. is not i mean put it this way when you first heard the bricks evolve did anyone know what they were voting about really is now we're getting to the nuts and bolts of it or maybe should've got to this point first before we had that vote if you like so i think a lot of it was the blind leading the blind is a view shared by many britons second city birmingham narrowly voted to leave the e.u. more than two years on the city still divided over breaks it we spent all this time and it changed nothing. that's what i think. and we need a new prime minister just saying fact. it's all mom thinking it's for the best but. i'm a bit lost this impeach word it's been next to my fans to my customers of birmingham's oldest indian supermarket are also reevaluating their choices more than twenty percent of the city has south asian ancestry jatin to dylan voted to remain but the city's south asian community chose overwhelmingly to leave citing the arrival of cheap labor from the fringes of the e.u. as the main reason i think it was affectively to do with immigration i think they felt that immigration in this corner areas was get out of control where my dad came . it's hard work they're working twelve fifteen hours you know twenty four hours just to make ends meet here and now it's the i think it's different i think people

to chance to change their minds second vote delayed departure whatever the next move could bring communities together or pull them further apart leave barca al-jazeera birmingham. that's it from us for now we'll have more from london in about twenty minutes now let's get back to folly in doha by him thank you very much for that u.s. secretary of states mike one pale has warned lebanese leaders of what he calls hezbollah. activities in lebanon and the region paley's in beirut ways meeting officials including some who are aligned with the radian backs lebanese group the visit is the last leg of his latest middle east towards a man and child has more from beirut. this was mike pump ales first visit to lebanon as secretary of state and he used much of his public statements you know to centrally lambaste parts of lebanese political society for the inclusion of hezbollah he said that hezbollah was a destabilizing force should not be considered as part of lebanese society and must be shunned obviously this was rejected by not only his counterpart foreign minister dr brumback see that said that if other countries wanted to classify what lies terrorist organizations that was their prerogative however as far as the lebanese society was concerned it represents a significant section of that society and was a legitimate force but it was also criticized by the president michel own who also rejected the new calls to disengage with hezbollah what is significant here is that there was no mention of that hugely controversial tweets by president donald trump visibly the illegally occupied golan heights remember parts of lebanon itself a lebanese land that continues to be legally or q pide by israel according to international law and from player when he started his middle east tour a couple of days back in kuwait prior to his visit here in lebanon he was actually categorically aust by one of the journalists whether there will be a shift in u.s. policy with regards to illegally occupied golan heights after the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu made a call for countries to accept it as part of israel's sovereignty he said point blank there will be no shift now whether from pale was lying or whether he just hadn't found out he had ties is the case sometimes with this u.s. administration under president donald trump when policy decisions seem to be advertised or announced via twitter. people all over new zealand mourned dan prayed together on friday and nationwide memorial service was held to remember those who were killed a week ago in the
