10:02 pm
a journalist who's been talking to people on the ground he had spoken to a fisherman who said that he so many bodies being retrieved from the lake president john palmer mughal fully lauren has also issued a statement condoling with those who've lost their loved ones asking terms onions to remain calm as the rescue operations go on and also saying that the government is going to investigate to a site in what exactly happened to cause this very to capsize but what we do know also from witnesses is that it appeared that this ferry was overloaded we're told that it has a capacity of about one hundred people but it had way more people than that it was also carrying bags of cement and many other goods that were on board and it was and. what happened is that. heavy bad weather
10:03 pm
caused this four to six a cup size this is according to the witnesses that we talked to catherine story thank you very much indeed for that update on the ferry disaster like terrific you . the e.u. could soon be turning to egypt to help solve its migration crisis a subject which is divided many nations within the block was high on the agenda to the leaders meeting in sulzberger austria chancellor wants egypt to stop refugees and migrants from leaving north africa and plans are underway for further summits on issues earnestly reports from salzburg. this is the man to whom the european union is now looking to solve its migration issue president sisi of egypt it was the surprise development at the salzburg summit the idea was driven by the rightwing austrian chancellor sebastian could who visited sisi last weekend he's come back full of praise at how good egypt is at stopping refugees from leaving your comment yet so far on the phone there are bits with egypt we have for the
10:04 pm
first time a country in north africa there is willing to intensify talks with the european union egypt has proven that it can be efficient since two thousand and sixteen it is managed boats that leave egypt for europe and when ever they have lived it took them back to. the thousands of men women and children who have drowned in the mediterranean and bear witness to the total lack of a strategy from the e.u. either to help rescue them or to find a reliable partner in libya to help instead europe now has many leaders whose biggest priority is to keep asylum seekers out egypt c.c. looks to be in. the european union has found it absolutely impossible to persuade individual member states to share out asylum seekers between them but if you ask those same countries would you pay somebody else to do it then they all reach for their wallets in terms the new european migration plan is to outsource the whole thing to egypt and they see no moral hazard in getting a country with such
10:05 pm
a poor human rights record to do it. also the e.u. if it means that egypt's will run migrant detention centers or other asylum claims for europe will in future be done in cairo and they say it's still early days but more summits focusing on egypt are being planned for december and february indeed if it is the case that there is good my ration money and in egypt not seems to be the case well and good but it does not mean that it's automatically the solution for libya where there's a very very completely different set of circumstances different issues of governance in fact almost no government in many cases if there was unity about the need to keep asylum seekers out there was just as much on trying to stop the u.k. from leaving the e.u. or at least the continued flat rejection of the british prime minister's proposed plan she now has under a month to come up with something new lawrence lee al jazeera salzberg i firstly mentioned in his report it is also met to discuss britain's departure from the e.u.
10:06 pm
with just six months to go european council president donald tusk says to read a maze proposal undermines the single market and is unworkable maine says her deal with the so-called checkers plan is the only one on the table normally again. if the reason may the british prime minister thought that by coming here and looking european leaders in the eyes she might have more chance of persuading them that her so-called checkers deal was worth thinking about she'll be going home i think really disappointed at the final press conference the head of the european council donald tusk said in no uncertain terms that there was complete unity among the e.u. twenty seven that checkers would not work but only that he said they all had complete faith in michel barnier the european the ghost who the british side doesn't really like and worst of all for the british he poured cold water on the idea that there was definitely going to be especially use summit in the event to hammer out the final terms of brecht's the deal he said that the european twenty
10:07 pm
seven would go away and decide by their own summit in october which the british were no longer invited to if there was any point having a summit in the vendor. then moment of truth for a rigid negotiations will be de october european council. in october we expect much more progress and results integrity talks. then we will decide whether conditions are there to call in next or the summit in november to finalize and formalized the deal. all of which places to resume a in the most invidious position you can possibly imagine this plan was hers abates in movements of goods freely across e.u. borders but everything else leaving it breaks all the european union's own rules and led by france and germany the e.u. are basically saying come up with something else they don't like a plan her own political party the conservatives are split down the middle about it all the polling in the u.k. suggest that eighty percent of british people remain as as well as leavers don't
10:08 pm
like the plan either but it's all she's got so what did she say as a final news conference well she said exactly what she always says. yes concerns have been raised i want to know what those concerns are there's a lot of hard work to be done but i believe that there is a willingness to do a deal but let nobody be in any doubt that as i've always said you know we are preparing for no deal so where it leaves the u.k. now for surely all the pressure is on the u.k. so they have to find some sort of new plan between now and the middle of october and it's really difficult to see what that is it seems to me that overwhelmingly this makes the chance of a bespoke deal for the u.k. much less likely the chance of the u.k. crashing out completely of the european union in late autumn very likely but perhaps just as likely the idea that the british government could even collapse at some point in the autumn of the might even need to be fresh elections at this point still it's impossible to say whether breck's it will even happen.

10:23 pm
says is that it wasn't their fault their points are that it was extensive and inaccurate air defense fire from the syrian anti-aircraft batteries that down the plane that when these missiles were launched or the russian planes actually the israeli jets were already back in israeli air space during the strike that the is ready jets were engaged in the russian plane wasn't actually in the area of operations and that the syrians didn't even try to determine that there were no russian planes in the air so essentially what they're doing is saying to the russians we aren't to blame and also and this is important they're also trying to persuade russians that the current arrangement between russia and israel to allow israel to operate against iranian and hezbollah targets inside syria is mutually beneficial for both countries and shouldn't be jettisoned then outside

these fighters a coalition called the national liberation front are believed to be backed by turkey and getting them to fall in line will be easy the problem may be with groups that have been deemed terrorist organizations like the hague formerly known as the nostra front and accused of having links to al qaeda. i don't think hired to reality will disappear they will break up and join the other factions there is no way that turkey will accept them staying in a loop so what if he asked and other groups refuse to abide by this deal their positions remain unclear what will turkey do and what happens next will government forces be taking over these areas over time there are many more questions than answers that confusion is also felt in my. city about ten kilometers away from the agreed demilitarized so i gave that i feel like i don't live in the congo or what's happening a lot of foreign states are involved and you don't know anything so. this is not
