in sport, a cup final action across europe. >> don't forget when it came to persons. >> sepp blatter comes out fighting rejecting any blame for the recent corruption scandals engulfing his organization. >> we begin with a massive rescue operation in italy that saved more than 4,000 migrants trying to cross the mediterranean in the past 24 hours. the cost guard said distress calls were made from 22 different boats on friday. in one operation 17 bodies were found on three boats. another 217 people who were on board were rescued. there's been no letup in the past few hours. 700 migrants have been taken to the port in southeast italy. they were rescued by the british navy off the coast of libya.
11:02 am
we're live in catania in sicily. a very dramatic day on the seas. some awful and some very good. talk us through what happened. >> well, as you said over the past 24 hours the navy not only the italian but the irish and german have been very busy off the coast of libya. now apart from the 700 migrants that you talked about another thousand have arrived in the past hour or so in the port here in southeast sicily, and we're expecting many more to start arriving throughout the afternoon and the night. as we understand it the 17 who have lost their lives will be arriving tomorrow morning in the port of algust.
11:03 am
but since 22 distress calls were made many other calls were also made. the german navy is at the moment off the coast of libya and in rescue operation. we don't have the details of that yet but we also know that the italian navy has rescued at least throw boats. there were rubber dinghies, zodiacs, and on board each there were 100 people. as you see the numbers just keep on increasing, and with the good weather, the calm seas the worry is that we'll see that flow over the next few days just intensify. >> more to come. >> what happens to them now? >> well, first they are screened here medical test on land. then the government will do as much as it can. it has called on all regions own though some of the regions don't
11:04 am
welcome of move, evacuated schools to put migrants there so they can go through a screening process and identification process. most of them arrive here and they don't have travel documents. they either lost it before somewhere along the road, or it's in the sea or sometimes they just don't bring it because they want to move further on into other european countries places where they have friends or relatives places where there is a large community from where they come from. so certainly this is just another transit point on their way to their final destination. it's not much different on this side of the mediterranean. in terms of they don't have money. they don't have documents. they're not legal.
11:05 am
>> fifa president sepp blatter said that he does not fear arrests. what for was his response. we're live now in fifa headquarters. it was a pretty brutal press conference, wasn't it? >> yes he got a real grilling, but sepp blatter was defiant and somewhat angry reiterating he could not be held responsible for actions of all individuals in fifa and said he was the victim of a conspiracy. there was no coincidence in the timing of the arrests on behalf of the u.s. justice department being so close to friday's elections. also unhappy of a meeting held earlier this saturday. >> they wanted their fifth-term
11:06 am

11:08 am
>> the topic will be discussed. it seems unlikely. it's a big decision to make at such short notice. there are influential countries like spain and russia who do still support blatter. but his problems do not end there. there are the ongoing organizations by swiss authorities over bidding processes of world cups awarded to. and the u.s. department say they're hopeful more arrests will be made in connection with their investigation. the different days for sepp blatter are certainly not behind them. >> thank you for that, andy richardson. >> i want to take to you istanbul very quickly. there are pre-election rally.

11:13 am
let's go live now to the author of the syria dilemma and the director of the center of middle east centers. he joins me on skype. thank you very much for joining us. why this use of barrel bombs? >> primarily because of the devastating effects that they have they're indiscriminate weapons and wreak havoc on the population but also bashar al-assad has complete control over the skies of syria. there is no country no rebel movement. it's an easy way of perpetuating a series of massacres and demoralize the population with full knowledge that no one is going to stop him. >> i wonder why this rather than traditional weapons. i know they have been using chlorine gas as well. it has a real psychological
11:14 am
impact. >> it does. president obama was recently quoted as bragging one of his contributions was the removal of chemical weapons. but as everyone knows as reported in "the new york times" just a few days ago the use of chlorine gas constitutes on use of chemical weapons. barrel bombs and chlorine gas he's used them with complete immuneity. >> what is the end game. >> the end game is to survive and draw this war out as long as possible hopeful in the end he can retain portions of syria.
11:15 am
he still has strong backing from iran and russia, so it's a question of just surviving. it seems like the war is starting to shift against him but i think those people who think that this war is going to come to an end any time soon need to think again. he's still--bashar al-assad is still powerful in large parts of syria. i don't think it's going to end any time soon. >> when he does go, if it leads to that, what sort of space will syria be at that stage? >> it will be a nightmare. it will be a hellhole. the report issued this month on barrel bombs was called a circle of hell. and so it will be a breeding ground for radicalization, for the type of groups that we have all been concerned about in the region primarily isis to build support, and it will an tragedy first and foremost for the people of syria.
