Full democracy, freedom of speech and security too.

After more than 500 people were arrested in central London at the weekend for marching in support of the prescribed terrorist organisation Palestine Action... So you're going to break the law by supporting them?

In essence, that's correct, yes.

Yeah, basically what the government has advised residents, particularly in areas which are considered to be high risk.

So these are low lying areas along the coast to move to areas which are considered to be safe, which is a farther inland.

They've been told to identify, you know, areas where they would be able to shelter themselves.

They've been advised also to reinforce their homes, so covering their houses with covers, and also at the same time, keenly following updates from the local authorities.

So this could be from the Meteorological Department.

What the government has also done is advised, because the majority of the people living in these areas are fishing communities, so they banned any sort of activity along the coast.

Any sort of navigation, maritime activity has also been suspended.

Absolutely.

The country has been battered by extreme weather conditions.

It's really been raining, especially for the months of November coming into January.

More than 100 people have lost their lives and hundreds of thousands have been displaced.

So it's not really what they would want to hear.

But because this is one area that has been very vulnerable to cyclones, going back to 2019-20,

with Cyclone Idai, Kenneth and also Chido last year.

So it's quite really a very, you know, anxious moment for the residents in southern and central Mozambique.

Details are still emerging.

What we do know so far is that 100 students have been released.
