the two people at the helm effectively in court. the captain and the first mate that have ship that sanction last weekend. this is a preliminary and the judge will hear additional evidence against them and decide whether or not to confirm the charges of homicide which have been laid against them. the arrests were confirmed the process is slightly elongated. yesterday the arrests were confirmed today it's the charges being confirmed. we will, though, expect, hear from some prosecution witnesses namely survivors from that wreck and we are expecting at least five adults and as many as two juveniles who came off that wreck who made it through. and will actually give evidence as to the behavior of the captain and first mate before the crash happened. and our understanding from the preliminary evidence that's been leased by court papers there were three collisions between the migrant boat and the larger portuguese ship that eventually rescued some of the 28 and the

other thing was some of the conditions they were kept in in libya sound truly harrowing. >> we know the e.u. has agreed to triple it's a search and rescue funding for the migrants. will that really make a difference in italy? of course a country bearing the brunt of this crisis. >> reporter: it's probably going it make more of a difference to the migrants themselves to be perfectly honest. the actual propose which was originally put forward earlier in the week was a doubling of the operation triton funding. now, that would not have brought it up to the level of last year's operation, which was an italian navy operation. at least tpwraoeupaling by tripling it approaches close to last year's funding. triton is a specifically border control patrolling type of operation. it's not strictly a search and patrol operation. so will those extra ships that

are being pledged actually be able to go out and look pro actively for people who are out on the high seas in flimsy boats that have left libya. that's not clear yet. that said the reaction to what was decide in brussels huh brussels has been largely positive. some describe it as a child step forward and save the children working particularly with the unaccompanied minors coming off boats, described it as a critical breakthrough as well. the maltese prime minister said, whatever resources you put in to it, it will never be enough. that's joseph muscat the maltese prime minister. so a glimmer of hope, but it depends on who you listen to as to whether it will actually make a very serious effective difference out there on the high seas. >> paul brennan in catania paul, thank you. now, armenians around the world are marking 100 years since the massacre of their an an sisterses during the first world

and there have been several world leaders and dignitaries here as well to kind of recognize that, including prince charles, the amir of qatar and others from around the world. the government continues to deny the action accusations that the on the man turks at the time committed a massacre, they say many were killed there was also many on the man turks killed by armenian gangs, it's still a very divisive issue here, the government however says it wants to move forward rather than focus on the past. it is stopping short of recognizing what the armenians claim is a genocide it has issued an apology or sort of retro con dole against for the second time in its history the first time last year. they are trying to recognize some of the faults committed however they say the mass killings as described by the armenians is exaggerated. >> all right jamal, thank you.

and now this. >> translator: it's not the life we imagined finding in europe. we don't know what to do. but we are obliged to be here. this is the path we took. but i ask myself, why are we here? the even u. states don't seem to be interested in us anymore think those trying to help migrants in france say people like mohamed are victims of a system which is intentionally slow and designed to discourage. >> the argument which is brought forward by the government is that if you welcome them too well. more will come and it's hysterical because it's not true. people in sudan or in syrian don't think i am going ask for asylum in france because i will have a shelter. they only think i have to leave home i cannot stay there otherwise i will die. >> reporter: this unprecedented surge in the number of people trying to reach europe unfortunately for them, seems to be matched by a hardening of attitudes here in france to

immigration as a whole. so finding the political will to help migrants settle more quickly and in greater numbers is going to be very hard. the rise of the national front in france is mirrored elsewhere in europe tempting politicians in ever tougher posturing immaterial grace. add to that soaring unemployment you can see why the latest tragedies in the mediterranean have led europe to seeking better ways of keeping migrants out rather than welcoming more in. the worry for these migrants now may not be thousand get asylum, but thousand avoid being sent back to where their long journey began. simon mcgregor wood, al jazerra, paris. u.s. president barack obama has apologized for the accidental killing of an american and an italian hostage. they died in january during a u.s. drone strike on al qaeda hide out in pakistan. patty culhane in washington explains how the events unfolded. >> reporter: the u.s. government rarely even acknowledges drone

both the standards that are being used as well as the reliability of the intelligent that is being used to carry out this lethal force program. >> reporter: it's a program that independent experts say has killed thousands of people, including hundreds of innocent civilians. now, the president is not promising a review of the overall drone program. but says the american people will know in this case what went wrong and why these two civilians were killed. patty culhane, al jazerra washington. australian is trying to counter a growing number of people travel to go iraq and syria to join isil. the government is rolling out a program aimed at what it calls deradicalizing possible recruits but not everyone thinks it will work. andrew thomas reports. >> reporter: muslims at a fun fair this one attached to a food festival is not the sort of image you often see on australian television. a constant stream of negative impressions is not just frustrating, but dangerous for

them. the media providing bad role models for young muslims. >> we have a lot successful people here, doctors businessmen, lawyers are they should project those positive images of the muslims. >> reporter: instead this is more common on the news. muslims being arrested, a cased of plotting attacks. some say the government so-called hard power approach with raids like this earlier this month in melbourne and stopping people from traveling if they are suspected of want to go join the fighting in syria feeds an image of muslims under attack that can encourage a backlash. that's why a soft air preach is being tried too. in brits ban the all en multicultural foundation sun are running training sessions for community leaders. >> 99.9% of us in the muslim community are strong, have a strong foundation and true australian and make their contribution. but there is always that small minority that fall between the cracks. >> reporter: part paid for with grand from the australian government the leader here says his work is an early intervention program aimed at

an easy transition. >> translator: i am mostly nigerian it doesn't matter who you think i voted for. why kick me out? it's my right. freedom of expression even if i am not from here. >> reporter: religious leaders commune at this elders, local and international groups are trying to calm tensions. and teach people that ultimately there is no excuse for inning inning tolerance. >> instead of campaigning on issues we campaign on personalities and therefore the personalities begin to create a rift and anything that happens to them they take it personal. instead of taking it as just part of the game. >> reporter: this is a vibrant and busy city. it's one of three states still under a state of emergency because of boko haram attacks. it borders borno worst affected by boko haram attacks, a lot of
