lose. the announcement from malaysia's government brings neither closure, nor comfort to the families and relatives of the victims. some even believe the wreckage was planted on the island. >> translator: it's not true. a lot of things would have been easier to find, but they didn't find them, like the chairs, baggage and other stuff that is much lighter. >> translator: during this time, we cannot believe anything. because aircraft had a gps. the airline doesn't want us to know the truth. that's why we cannot believe them. >> reporter: they want answers. this was not a protest against china's government, which is why it was allowed to happen. one placard appealed for help from china's president. by coincidence, his foreign minister is in malaysia attending a regional conference. >> translator: the search should

shipwreck in the mediterranean have been bought to shore. it is thought that maybe 200 people drowned when the fishing boat overturned off of the coast of libya. let's join claudio who is live in the sicilian port. you talked about the survivors coming ashore, but also the bodies of those who were lost at sea. >> reporter: yes, indeed. i don't know whether you can see this behind me. there is a hearse waiting for one of the coffins. we have seen a number of hearses here taking the bodies in the coffins, away. all of the 367 survivors, have disembarked, now the ship is the same irish navy ship that picked them up and answered the first distress call yesterday. they were given first aid, food, shoes, and anything they needed

immediately. of course they will then be distributed across the reception centers across italy. but of course, these are people who are seriously traumatized. they went through a serious life-threatening situation. we don't even know how many died for real. we know that 25 people who drowned have been pulled from the sea and have been taken on the same ship, which -- let me step aside you can see anything now. there are more coffins coming out, but there are wooden coffins being used to take away the bodies. we have seen also pretty tragic scenes of their relatives who were traveling with them who had to go and pay their last respects. we heard from doctors without boarders and save the children that among those 25 who died, there were three children. doctors without borders told us their mother who is also pregnant survived. so you can only imagine the situation and feelings she is

going through right now. this is just the latest of a series of horrific stories we heard since the start of the year. >> the ordeal isn't over, is it claudio? they will either go to a reception center or lose themselves in the system and perhaps end up on the french british shores trying to make another journey that can cost them their lives. >> reporter: yes, indeed. well, officially, they will have to go to a reception center here in italy, because of the convention. they are supposed to ask for asylum in the country where they set foot first, and that country most of the time is either italy or greece. thing is, they don't want to wait for the very lengthy process. they just want to get there as soon as possible to the location of their choice, usually -- most want to go to northern europe.

a lot want to go to germany. some to britain. some to scandinavia. not many want to stay here. so they try to avoid getting stuck in that long process that can take between six monks and 18 months, in very dreadful conditions. because reception sterns are overcrowded already. so they do tend to just go on their own way with all of the risks that it takes with that decision. >> thank you. thank you very much indeed. still ahead on this program here on al jazeera. 21 years on, a court in argentina looks at what happened in the a aftermath of this terrible bombs. and asking for peace in a city that suffered massive destruction in war. japan remembers hiroshima.

>> reporter: all of the teachers are volunteers. they say around 100 people at tend their classes each day. >> translator: in general, they come with no french at all, and some with only basic english. we have also some who can't even speak english at all, and that's very difficult for us. >> reporter: but most people in this camp aren't interested in learning french and staying in france. for the students that study here, this school represents a symbol of hope with respect to their future, having decided to stay in france. but the majority of people are still determined to get on

years ago. let's talk to teresa in buenos aires. remind us of the background. >> reporter: this trial started back in 2004, and at the time the trial was suspended and the defendants were acquitted when the judge was found trying to bribe one of the defendants with $400,000. so that's what is going to be investigated in this trial. they want to know why this judge tried to bribe one of the defendants, who was the owner of the van that was used to bomb the jewish community center here. the former president is on trial. he is also being accused of coverup, of abuse of power. apparently the case against him involved him trying to block the investigation. all of these things will be debated for about a year, and around 140 witnesses are going to be presented here.

with the cooperation of both nuclear and non-nuclear powers. >> reporter: the aircraft that delivered barely imaginable destruction was named after the pilots mother, the bomb it was carrying, little boy. for the u.s. it was a strike that saved lives, shortening the second world war. for the people of hiroshima it was a visitation of hell. tens of thousands died in the blast, the figure would rise to 140,000 by the end of the year. life somehow went on in the wasteland and the city was rebuilt. it's current mayor used his speem to call nuclear weapons evil and inhuman and to prize the passivist konsz tugs, while the prime who wants to loosen the restrictions listened on, a reminder if needed that events of the second word war are still influencing japan's politics today.
