decision by the world anti-doping agency to reinstate russia paving the way for three to compete at international events one small. at least forty four people have died and more than two hundred others are feared drowned after a ferry sank in tanzania it happened in lake victoria near carry away island witnesses say the boat was overloaded when it was hit by bad weather there is catherine sawyer has more from nairobi. i've just spoken to the home affairs minister who says this rescue operation has been suspended till friday it's been very difficult for the rescuers to work in that back also i spoke to a journalist based in the capital the rest alarm and he's been talking to people on

the ground including a fisherman who told him that he saw many bodies being retrieved from the lake president mughal fully has also issued a statement condoling with the be removed asking tanzanians to keep calm as a rescue operations continue through the coming days and also as you know investigations into what exactly happened up and begin but what we do know from witnesses is that this ferry appears to have been overloaded it has a capacity of about a hundred people we're told it was carrying way more than that including many bags of cement and goods as well and it seems to have been toppled over by the very bad weather now this is the fast serious incident in many years to happen in that lake the last time there was a major incident was back in one thousand nine hundred six when another ferry capsized killing up to a thousand people it was also say to have been overloaded time is running out the

warning from e.u. leaders to british prime minister to resign may over brics it with just six months to go european council president don't want to risk says may's proposal undermines the single market and is unworkable may insists her deal the so-called checkers plan is the only one on the table lawrence lee has more. 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 for braggs the deal he said that the european twenty seven would go away and decide by their own summit in october which the british no longer invited to if there was any point having a summit in the vendor. then moment of truth for bridget to go through asians will be d. october european council. in october we expect much more progress and results in their budget talks. then we will decide whether conditions are there to call an extra summit in november to finalize and formulation the deal. all of which places to reason may 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 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. that 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 bracks it will even happen or the e.u. could soon be turning to egypt to help solve its migration crisis a subject which has divided many nations within the block was high on the agenda that leaders meeting in south austria's chancellor want egypt to stop refugees and migrants from leaving north africa and plans are underway for further summits on the issue is lawrence lee again but his report from south bend 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 c.c. last weekend he's come back full of praise at how good egypt is at stopping refugees from leaving your comment yet still on the phone there are bits with egypt

we have for the first time a country in north africa that is willing to intensify talks with the european union egypt has proven that it can be efficient since two thousand and sixteen it has 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 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

a poor human rights records 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's are being planned for the center of february indeed if it is the case that there is good migration management in egypt now it seems to be the case well and good but that does not mean that it's automatic is a 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 to continue the flat rejection of the british prime minister's proposed plan she now has under a month to come up with something new lawrence li al jazeera salzberg you know speak to rafael oxfam international the migration policy advisor who's in brussels

thanks very much for being with us so what's your reaction to this e.u. plan to involve egypt in the in the in the migration issue more we're very concerned about the direction players are growing the last three years since q part and fifteen in your. research for reach agreements on how to host asylum seekers repeated and the captives were persecuted. down the line to point out some of the. more some of. that would be really awesome . people. and we see the impact that this policy hard on people. struggling. with. here. really living that are all trying to push them out to press them somewhere else and i mean that in this instance how do you see this

being different from the deal that the e.u. did for instance with turkey. we're not sure that it is the print of course the situation is not exact because the search continues and between the number of people arriving today has dropped significantly since then but the motivation behind these two ideas it's their completeness a motivation of trying. to push away people rather than seeing what european countries can do what are their own responsibilities. there is definitely a situation here that is. that is completely ignoring the situation on the ground these are political agreements between european leaders that are and at the top level in order to show some kind of progress without a lot of details with either understanding of what exactly europe would like to see

how an ng in the mediterranean rather than finding solutions from the ground up rather than seeing what asylum seekers and riff g.'s needs when they're rescued see what's europeans actually expertly seeing especially the ones thought or do we need countries better dealing with this type of situation and what type of agreements could be reached across the mediterranean that are focused on protecting human rights on finding you know solutions that are answering to the needs of the people who are just being rescued and promoting respect for international law all across them of the three story across the mediterranean thank you very much indeed to feel thoughts and apologies for the sound quality i'm not. now north korea's leader kim jong un wants a second summit with u.s. president donald trump to speed up denuclearization south korean president when jane has just wrapped up three days of negotiations with kim where discussed how to

restart nuclear talks between pyongyang and washington but macbride reports from sell. this summit ended as it began rich in symbolism president moon j.n. of south korea and his north korean host kim jong un top of mt peck to the highest peak of the korean peninsula spiritually significant to all koreans into korean relations have seen many false starts with attempts at reconciliation often returning to threats of war but there's a strong sense moon and kim want to forge a bond so strong that they can never slip back to the acrimony of the past. two inches of the we adopted a military pact to end a history of brutal and tragic confrontation and hostility. some weapons facilities will be closed but there's little detail on how to fulfill them or they promise to make the peninsula you clear free it's enough though to breathe new life back into

the stalled negotiations between north korea and the united states and could lead to a second summit between kim and u.s. president donald trump but many believe to make real progress it's now time for the photo ops to give way to detailed discussion i mean it's going to be really really difficult and the president and kim jong un don't know these things any kind of detail which is why we keep getting these some of declarations that are very short because the detail has to be worked out by the experts. more skeptical observers suspect north korea now with south korean support may have other reasons for pushing for a summit and this is another significant diplomatic success for moscow area because in a few months the two will disband told make preparations was a summit and during the summit itself they are not going to see any confrontation and this is exceptionally. technics their major goal is to wait donald trump

out as soon as moon returned to seoul he broadcast live to south korea. he revealed that kim has offered a number of unspecified steps towards denuclearization but would be expecting concessions from the u.s. in return. the detail measures or the appropriate measures are things that must be agreed upon between north korea and the u.s. . it underlines moon's vital role now as go between the north koreas negotiations with the u.s. as he prepares for a meeting next week with trump whatever the outcome this summit with kim has revealed to leaders building a home grown momentum for change that may be difficult to stop robert bright al-jazeera so. and much more to come on the al-jazeera news hour including fears for syria's last rebel stronghold as world powers try to hammer out a deal to avoid a brutal battle. identity baba off the coast of wales where complainers

say that's potentially radioactive sediment from a nuclear plants in england is being dumped by ships like this. and joshua and bob it can trade verbal blows one more time ahead of saturday's big heavyweight title fight find out what they said and sport. began and pop star turned politician bobby wine has promised to continue fighting against the government or die trying he made the comments while greeting crowds of supporters outside his home near the capital kampala one is returned from the united states where he was receiving treatment after allegedly being tortured in custody he faces charges of treason and is a vocal critic of president you're a seventy. the company you tell me to keep us slaves in our own country

i found out as i say not in a way i'm not you know i mean run down thinking that i'm the only right my freedom i don't get that freedom under fire don't get that freedom in my life that i just make sure that you get the freedom that the south. malcolm webb has more from bali lined hometown of my gary kampala. as soon as the plane that got the wind was in touch down on the tarmac up in to the international airport he left the aircraft people traveling with him say he was bundled into a police car arrested and taken away police deny he was arrested they just say he was escorting him home and then they are going to be brought in here to his house and there are still hundreds of supporters gathered outside they were waiting here for him to arrive we spoke to him a short while ago he said very tired and that he's still in pain from the injuries that he sustained when he's was saying when he says he was tortured just a couple of weeks ago although the government denies that his soldiers tortured him

while he was in detention be crucially the security agencies today were trying to involve trying to avoid the embarrassment of having a procession all the way from the international airport down the forty kilometer road that leads to the capital it's a built up area it's probably why not many supporters there said they wanted to avoid a parade with thousands of people out on the streets cheering him on they managed to do that by picking him up and bring him here. joining me now is x. fine just the head of the africa program at think tank chatham house thanks for coming in so how do you think the general parties will treat bobby why now some sort of just discussion about whether or not he was detained to take him home when he's under house arrest that's one thing. they're not going to back down i mean president seventy of uganda sees himself as the liberationists of uganda he sees himself as the father figure and bobby wine represents a challenge to his thirty two years in office so there will be continued intimidation and harassment maybe

a bit more subtle hopefully not torture but poppy one's going to find himself having a difficult time coming i think in terms of his is support me knots of young people support him and so on but does he have any build on that to sort of to make a political base and actually challenge the president was that not only ease that is such a brilliant question i'm glad you asked me because yes i mean the ugandan yoof and urban ugandans many of them are very sympathetic to bobby wine but if you look at the electoral pattern uganda is still a very rural society and so the president must seventy the incumbent leader still has quite a significant amount of support in the rule areas think the challenge for bobby wine is how to translate this now into rural support and also to unite the opposition to become a true figurehead there's no doubt he's won the argument in the urban areas in amongst youth but he hasn't done that yet in the rule there is and what about any kind of international pressure that might aid his cause well there's tremendous

concern about how he's been treated he went to the states he's had medical treatment he's walking a bit better from what i can see from your footage so you know he obviously a bit more healthy than when he left a few weeks ago for treatment but it's going to be very difficult for him and in terms of i mean body mind sort of he's a big figure head in uganda does he represent more. across africa i mean he is he a sort of a face of a kind of changing all generation in f.l. . he does represent more and more you feel challenge to incumbents who have been from very month long time like mr mousavi has been in power as president of uganda for thirty two yes. longstanding african leaders are on the decline i mean last year we saw mr mugabe leaving we saw zimbabwe we sold the president of angola leaving office off to thirty seven years almost in office so increasingly these

longstanding leaders are on their way out. very useful replacement song happening too often so we don't see that yet but there is a change in the air and to do it to get back to what we want him self and their treason charges do you think that will be a court case that could play out for a long time while they could well do and of course the treason charges do carry a death penalty also for and so there will be tremendous international scrutiny on this there's no doubt that mr mustafa nie and the ugandan government are under significant pressure at the moment and there's some fragmentation going on in their security forces poppy wine is just one of number of headaches you gundry's facing just now a mission to security services and the way they handle the heat of getting him back home they're trying to avoid a big sort of procession on the main roads i mean is that potential for violence if if people are stopped from supporting it we could well see more violence and protests because one thing that mr missed seventy seems to have left is violence is

state violence is intimidation is a sort of thing that we've been seeing in the past with presidential godmothers that's very worrying basically if there isn't any other options left to keep his grip on power and expands thank you very much indeed i'd like to thank you. high stakes standoff is underway in washington a woman who is accused donald trump's supreme court nominee of sexual assault says she's willing to testify before senators but only under terms that are quote fair and ensure her safety christine lacy ford's lawyer says she's been receiving death threats after she went public with the accusations against brett kavanaugh party guy and has more from washington d.c. . where the testimony you're about because confirmation seems certain brett kavanaugh poised to cement a conservative supreme court for a generation i do until this woman went public with an allegation she says cavanagh

in addition to say to the russians that iran is continuing to attempts to transfer strategic weaponry to hezbollah and establish a military presence in syria now regarding the downing of the plane what israel 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 at the russian plane actually the israeli jets were already back in israeli airspace 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 should be jettisoned then outside despite the anger of the russian defense ministry over all of this there's no sign yet from vladimir putin that he is willing to tear up that deal over this incident . russia and turkey say they're still working out the details of their plan to avert a major battle in syria's italy problems but they're optimistic a fifteen to twenty kilometer wide demilitarized corridor or is to be set up to keep government troops and rebels apart they remain calls for certain groups to be removed from the area and it lived this concern and confusion about how that will be done stephanie decker has more fun takio nato syria border the demilitarized

zone agreed on by turkey and russia is due to be established around fifteen kilometers from here it's a topic on everyone's mind among the clinton ones who are in the demilitarized zone will be a separate zone between or send the regime turkey will ensure our side and russia will ensure their regimes in order to prevent any battle i think all the factions will accept this because turkey is pushing forward and we are with turkey. but 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 hill formerly known as the nostra front and accused of having links to al qaeda. i don't think hyatt 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 the s. 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 medicine man city about ten kilometers away from the agreed demilitarized zone i gave that i feel i don't have any congo or what's happening a lot of foreign states are involved and we don't know anything so. this is not the end of the revolution there are twenty million people who wanted the region to fall that twenty million wanted to liberate syria there are twenty million who want to see the victory flag on the presidential palace but it is seen to be the last stand of the armed opposition how much of it lives future will be decided militarily and how much will be decided politically remains unclear what is clear damascus is adamant it will take it back stephanie decker or jazeera. you're watching our zero still ahead millions of shia muslims around the world commemorate the shura but

several athletes and anti doping bodies who feel russia have not done enough to earn reinstatement namely preventing access to their labs and refusing to publicly accept the mclaren report which on covered the government backed doping of more than a thousand athletes the water presidency craig reedie said today the great majority of waters exco decided to reinstate to solder as compliance with the code subject to strict conditions this decision provides a clear timeline by which water must be given access to the former moscow to bar a tree data and samples or he says they will reinforce the ban so russia's lair but must still allow access but as you can imagine over in moscow the chief of risotto welcomed their reinstatement by water. purpura sure it's the first step in a significant one it opens the way to international competitions for athletes and

federations moreover opens the possibility of competitions to be nominated in the russian federation in fact this is a result of very very hard work broussard are happy but there is widespread dismay among many athletes and in te doping bodies who before the vote urged water to stand firm against russia in fact they were to no votes within the water itself including its vice president to linda hello and she said it was wrong and so welcome restart a back until they had fully and transparently met the roadmap today we failed the clean athletes of the world. there's a similar feeling from the chief of the u.s. anti-doping agency travis tygart who says water put the wishes of a handful of sports administrators above the rights of millions of clean athletes and the dreams of billions of sports fans and more strong words from the whistleblower who exposed the russia doping program in the first place dr gregory chink of through his lawyer jim walden he described what is decision as the

greatest treachery against clean athletes in a limb pick history our sports correspondent lee wailings has more to help unpack the story of what's been one of waters toughest stays in its eighteen year history while his reputation is in a very difficult position hey you could say this is close to being the biggest crisis that ever had you remember that one doesn't sort of sit above all sports water is actually funded largely by the international olympic committee so they have to study in with the i.o.c. and have to try and get on with them and they have been under pressure from the i.o.c. over a very cozy relationship with russia at a high level to find a way to reinstate them and of course this goes against the incredible findings originally where there was over a thousand russian athletes in different sports were implicated so you can see people looking at this as usual the public that are watching these events and

watching these sports wondering can i trust any of this now of course let's not make the mistake of talking just about russia it's only russia that has athletes who died be the first to say that this is a widespread problem throughout many nations and throughout such a large range of sports but i think what's happened here is that over the last few years so widespread so wide scale was the russian doping that if proper action could have been taken then to ban russia in these sports for a year is. can we trust anything we see in sport. doping has been a topic of conversation ahead of saturday's wooll heavyweight title fight between anthony joshua and alexander povetkin the russian fighter who failed to drug tests back in twenty sixteen after serving a short then he's got the chance to take all four of joshua's belts if he wins their fight in london joshua admits it's not good for the sport and wants tougher sanctions. you know if you're on drugs you get banned
