>> and all the sport including a pitch perfect performance putting kansas city half which towards winning a first world series crown in 30 years. the greek coast guard is involved in an ongoing rescue operation to find dozens of people missing in the sees off the island of lesbos. hundreds, including children were in the sea when an overcrowded boat sank. let's cross to our correspondent. update us on the latest we are hearing from the rescue mission. >> the search and rescue is ongoing. there are three coast guard vessels and fishing boats and

coast cards are being assisted. >> at the moment numbers have not changed to what we new 12 hours ago. three confirmed dead, and 38 missing. there could be more fatalities, that's righties believe there's few chances in the old act waters, the deep waters between greece and turkey. there are also 15 people in intensive care in the hospital here, in the capital of les both. most of those people we are tolds are inquant or chin, and their continue is that much more precarious: it is difficult to predict how their bodies respond to the shock. they are not out of danger yet. i speak with two survivors.

and they told me the thinking is caused when the upper deck collapses on to the lower vessel. most seem to have successfully scrambled out of the wreckage. >> it's likely that 30 more missing people will turn out to have been trapped in the hull as it overturned. that number of missing people. there's no manifest from the illegal vessels. the numbers are far off from being finalise the. it's a grim tragedy. thank you for the update. as john said, medics struggled to revive the survivors,

including children as they were brought to shore. paul brennan is on lesbos, where he witnessed the arrival of many desperate people . >> reporter: the fishing boats emerged from the darkness, racing into port with no time to lose. huddled on the deck, wrapped in tarpaulins, blankets, a few of the survivors of another tragic sinking in the agean. they look bewildered. unsure whether to smile or weep. the volunteers, medics sprang into action. a young child was among the first passed ashore. unharmed but shocked into violence. many were worse. in the darkness, the key side was transformed into an emergency center. volunteers tended to the survivors looking to be

suffering hypothermia and shock. some appear to be slipping away. despite the best efforts of specialist medics. a child wrapped in blankets was hurriedly transported to hospital in the arms of a paramedic. others were able to walk. the island of lesbos has been receiving five, six, 700 -- 7,000 refugees and migrants every day this summer. this is not the first sinking tragedy here. residents are deeply affected by it. babies are drowning. i'm 67 years old. i can't hold back my tears. it's the save that must help. -- it's the big state that must

help. since we are small. unable to do so, they must do the job. people drowning are our own blood. we are sorry, what else can we do. shame. >> reporter: more boats arrived. more survivors, these in better conditions. the totals from this tragedy may never be gown. -- be known most of the refugees arriving on the islands in on flimsy vessels are fleeing the war in syria, the refugee crisis is dwarfed by that of syria's neighbours. turkey has the largest number of refugees, hosting over 2 million people. more than a million are in lebanon. many cramming into camps near the border. jordan, iraq and egypt have refugees in the hundreds of thousands. almost 513,000 refugees and

migrants tried to reach europe in the past six months. we are joined by the u.n.'s refugee agency spokesman for the u.n.h.c.r. in the gulf region. thank you for taking the time to join us. it's dressing pacts that we are seeing in paul's report and others. why are we seeing dead children washing up on the shores. >> it is sad to see the images. these people need help and support. there are once we see these folders and images. those people must hope for a solution. an appeal was launched for

support. it's about 14% of what we ask for. there's more than half services to be delivered are not there. >> lack of funding and political will happens with that. the crisis occurred months ago. >> we believe they failed to provide a political solution, and this will lift people behind. what we are expecting from those people, in the lack of hope and

support. that's why they give their life in the hands of them. in this year, 2015 alone, we witnessed 2000 people dead or missing. we have people in conflict situations. refugees, pregnant women. they are human being and are entitled for life and dignity. >> we look at the number. we have seen the number of these people. huge strains on their resources not giving the funds they need. you have to ask why g.c.c. is not going more. why have they not settled a refugee. they have been generous. the countries provided 1.2 billion to that situation

alone. the current situation, humanitarian situation is a humanitarian. requiring a response from all countries over the world. it's not the responsibility for one region, all countries, a massive unprecedented support is need. >> they have been generous, qatar donating $1.62 billion. people don't want to spend their lives in camps. they want to re start their lives, why can't they restart their lives in a g.c.c. country, why are they not re-evaluating their policy. >> camps is the last resort. refugees as mentioned. they used to live a dignified life and wants to see them in the city. it's not just the possibility.

there has been villages under the concern. economic problems. aum countries over the world are invited to respond to the emergency situation. we are not seeing the css taking in the camp. they have space, resources and apartments. why not. we have to remember that you have legal and ethical obligations to provide access and support. this is not an adjustification giving support. all countries over the world

they are invited to join forces. we are talking about life saving needs. we are talking about the fifth winter. international organizations cannot respond with efforts to the needs of people in need. >> more needs to be done. thank you for taking the time to join us in the studio. syria is the focus of talks in vienna. the u.s. secretary of state had this to say about the crisis. the challenge we face in syria is nothing less than to chart a course out of hell. after 4.w5 years of war, and 2,000 -- 4.5 years of war and

2,000 deaths, the conflict is as bad as ever. mohammed jamjoom has more. when do we expect other parties to get to vienna, what is happening today? secretary of state john kerry arrived in the past hour. the russians, the turks and the saudis have not arrived, we are not sure when they are arriving. a contacted a ministry that told me that they'd be arriving late. this is setting the scene for major talks. we are expecting bilateral meetings, trying to prepare things for the big talks tomorrow, the first time the iranians would be involved in talks when discussing the fate of syria.

everyone involved, the u.s., turks and saud yils, russians and iranians. backers of bashar al-assad, and other countries involved a lot ever bilateral talks for major talks. as you heard. they'll be taking property. they include russia, saudi arabia. we have a report on the difficulties in agreeing to a unified approach. >> reporter: this is the town hit by an air strike. many streets and thousands face this every day. u.s. and russian drones in fighter planes.

u.s., turkey, saudi arabia and other gulf states support opposition rebels. they have been fighting the government backed by iran, russia and lebanon. the russian government makes little distinction between the fighters and i.s.i.l., providing air support and military advisors. the u.s. demands bashar al-assad step down, and is supporting rebels that are considered moderate whi conducting air strikes. bashar al-assad must be removed by force, and called for safe holds. a position that turkey supports. iranian special forces are fighting with the syrian military. >> large parts of the syria and the economy have been destroyed. hundreds of thousands have been killed, millions wounded and

displaced in a conflict in its fifth year. optimism about the talks, including iran. as all agree, continuing to fight is not the solution for syria. >> the view of partners was na we should test the intentions of iranians and russians about the seriousness arriving at a political solution. >> what iran spends on syria, it has not changed. we have said that the solution of the conflict lies in political solution. the mother is crying, don't worry. millions of others hope there's an end to the bloodshed. >> these are some of the huge

challenges outlined there. what hope if any, of finding common ground with these talks? >> it's a very important question. time and time again for the past four years, when there has been talks of this nature, it has not made difference on the ground in syria. it will be a test of how much these different countries that will gather around the table tomorrow want to effect some political solution to see if anything happens. for more perspective. i want to bring in a guest, with the political science department at the university of vienna. thank you for being with us. i want to ask you first - do you think it will make a difference in this round of talks that not only will the saudis be here, but the iranians will be here

represented in talks. >> geneva was a failure. but in between we had successful nuclear talks on ryan and vienna it was a basis to build upon. vienna talks showed a possible reliable partner. ethat's why when it comes to syria, there's no solution regional. net wouldn't be any solution. and iran is indispensable. otherwise they wouldn't have worked only on spheres much influence. they have to come to some sort

of agreement. and the common denominator is the fight against i.s.i.s. all the regional powers, they have to not talk about spheres of influence in rt first place. they have to address the conduct of the islamic state. >> there seems to be a talk about political transitions in syria. if bashar al-assad agrees to new elections, and if he would step aside. do you think that would be a major point of discussion, and do you think there's common ground on the issue when it comes to various companies. there has to be priorities, and that is the "ultimate 8."

then there has to be talks. there is a major disagreed. how much and whether to remove it. if they agree on coordination in the fight against i.s., there might be a possibility, coming to an agreement. what to do. transition government. of course, this will be standing in the future. it should not be the tumbling blocks now. the future of the government is important, but not for the talks. >> with russia stepping up a campaign in syria. do you think that they are going to be in the driver's seat when it comes to talks tomorrow.

russia intervened for one reason. they are on board now. >> i would think they are included now in the talks. i do not think that russia has an emotional relationship. there might be an agreement later on. it is important that russia and the u.s. do prints. there would be a fight about the sphere of influence. it's not a good thing because the major priority would not be impressed. >> as you see there, laura, the situation is complicated when it comes to anything with regards to syria. form will be a big day, whether

it can keeled to anything substantial changing where the humanitarian crisis spirals out the cruel. >> absolutely. we'll follow every development. that report from vienna. still ahead. >> we cane elect someone -- cannot elect someone that doesn't know how to do the job. plus... >> i'm in kenya, where the corn husks are turned into kilowatts of electricity going into the national power grid. >> we deserve to have a 2022 cup in qatar. the qatar foreign minister hits back at criticism of his country. details coming up in sport. sport.

israeli forces shot dead a man in the occupied west bank. the military says the soldiers was stabbed in the head by the attacker. nadim baba is in the occupied west bank. >> once again there are conflicting narratives over the death of a palestinian. a man in his 20s on thursday was shot dead. it occurred in the center of town. the israeli army said he stabbed a soldiers before he was shot dead. palestinian witnesses say he had cross the a checkpoint and walked some distance before he was shot at close distance. this is not the first time and

palestinians claim the army or police planted weapons, in many cases knives, to suggest that there'd been a threat to an israeli before the palestinian had been so the dead. on thursday there were clashes. hebron is an oh tense place at the best of times, with a few hundred israeli settlers living among the residence. with movements redistrict. it's somewhere where many families whose bodies have died have not been returned by the israeli authorities. that is something causing anger on the treats. the economy took center stage at the presidential candidates met

for ard third debate. we have reports from boulder, colorado. it was a night when frustrations boiled to the surface. >> we have to wake up. we cannot elect someone that doesn't know how to do the job. you have to pick someone with experience, the know how and discipline. >> this is a battle where battles have not gone as planned. >> when you signed up for in this was a 6-year term. the senate - what is it like a french work week, you have three days. someone convince the me that attacking you will help you. my campaign is about the future of america. i'll have admiration and respect for noah bushell. >> reporter: there was anger at the way the debate was conducted. >> this is not a cage match. if up look at the questions donald trump, are you a comic book veil yan, ben carson, can

you do mats. john kasich, will you insult two mere. marco rubio, why don't you resign. jed bush why have your numbers fallen. all the demands, this will be remembered for the flash of anger. it was the significant moment. this was a night-jed bush imposed himself where christy, crews made some impact. when it was over. they tried to put a gloss on the performance. there's little that can be said in here. the changes what happened in there. these an impact. >> a way that messages works and policies that did well enough. >> let's get the weather with everton, and news of rain in

australia. >> that's right. we have seen much-needed rain, it's been a hot dry start to bring. you can see this rash of making its way to the east. we have seen welcome rain. not so useful and welcome. that did come with very, very strong. roofs were ripped off buildings. trees and parr lines down. there was damaging hail. trees uprooted in the process. we have a few showers to come around the area as we go on through friday.

heavy downpours a responsibility. for many it will be dry. sprinkling of showers. and the thicker cloud making its way out of south australia. easing to victoria. pushing eastwards as we go on through saturday. it's not a bad thing. we'll need to rain. welcome rainfall dousing the forest fires. that is not a bad thing. there'll be more over the next couple of days. >> thank you. >> the india african forum is under way. heads of state and ministers up to 54 african countries are attending a 2-day meeting. india and its economic rival china are the fastest growing economies. to keep up the pace. india needs the natural resources, oil, gas, gold and

other metals. and a vast market to sell what it makes. africa reaping the rewards. attendance by african nations almost tripled. trades between india and africa trebled to more than $70 billion this year. we are joined via skype by president of the center for policy alternatives in new delhi. good to have you with us. india wants to capital ice on the market and resources. what else is it hoping to get from the continent. it gets all the gold, there's a hunger for gold.

it can only take it to africa. >> africa in many wayless, in the situation, the population, the reasons are about the same. we have the same problems africa and india has. we have the disparity. and there's great economic opportunity. these are the to markets worked to drive global growth. 30-40 years. it's been announced there will 10 million credit will be

extended. in was a huge invest. for india. hopefully we are part of that group. it's the relationship after neglecting africa for decades. >> the issue of the security council is raised. they offered the support before, what lessons do you think it learned. it was against japan and lost out to japan. indian can't get the solution. part of africa is coming around to supporting india, and africa needs the representation from the security council. they cannot be ignored. so i think it's a 2-way

relationship trying to be forged, and i think it's working. >> everywhere you go in afghanistan key, there's evidence that the chinese have been there, investing and getting resources back. what room, really, is there left for india's presence on the continent. >> if you have money, you can get what you want. if there's money, they have the money to invest in it. i don't think india should judge itself as being in competition. we compete for resources and markets. india has the kind of goods it exports and demands. i don't think we should. it's the fact of life. they have to compete with china all over the world. >> okay. we'll leave it there, thank you

table? >> it's likely that we'll see images showing that the broadening of the group that is the foray to the forum to resolve the syrian quagmire. i think expectations for a breakthrough is low. >> we shouldn't expect to see more than a family photograph, if you call it that. >> the conclusion of iran in this forum to resolve the conflict is perceived by european diplomats in the united states as a breakthrough. turkey has been supportive of iraq's conclusion, but the sides are so far apart the likelihood of any kind looks remote. >> do you take as much risk of the country growing isolated over the conflict. you see it after upsetting the
