president. at least forty four people have died and more than two hundred others a feared drowned after a ferry sank in tanzania it happened in lake victoria near where island witnesses say the boat was overloaded when it was hit by bad weather out there is catherine story 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 ressa lamb 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 michael fully has also issued a statement condoling with the be revived 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 appeared 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 the e.u. could sue me turning to egypt to help solve its migration crisis a subject which has divided many nations within the block was high on the agenda to leaders meeting in sulzberger austria's chancellor wants egypt to stop refugees and

migrants from leaving north africa and plans are underway for further summits on the issue orange the report from sulzberger. this is the man to whom the european union is now looking to solve its migration issue president sisi of egypt it was a 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 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 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 a poor human rights records to do it. also the e.u. if it means that egypt will run migrant detention centers whether 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 it is automatic it 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 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 well as far as they mentioned in his report leaders also met to discuss britain's departure from the e.u. with just six months to go european council president don't want to ask says to read a maze proposal undermines a single market and is unworkable it may insist her deal the so-called checkers plan is the only one on the table lawrence lee has logon. 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 you summit in the event to hammer out the final terms of brecht's the deal he said that the european twenty seven would go away and decide by their own summit in october which the british are no longer invited to if there was any point having a summit in the vendor. then moment of truth for revealed negotiations 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 in next or the 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. 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 brics it will even happen. in the end and pop star turned politician bobby wine has promised to continue fighting against the government or quote die trying he made the comments while greeting crowds of supporters outside his home in the capital kampala weiner has

nuclear talks between washington. reports from seoul. 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. in 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 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 most kerry because in few months we should disband to make preparations was a summit and during the summit itself they are not going to see any confrontation and this is exceptionally moscow that kicks their major goal is to wait donald trump alt as soon as moon returned to seoul he broadcast live to south korea. he

a meeting in the seychelles but says it's not without conditions russia's own agency was banned in twenty fifteen after an independent report found evidence of state backed doping and cover ups in russian sport the head of the u.s. anti-doping agency says what has decision is a betrayal to actually eat. it's a catastrophic blow to clean athletes and those who value fair play around the world but more importantly to the world anti-doping agency and its credibility and it really sets a clear line and a decision to be made of what type of global regulator do we want one that truly has the backs of cleaner fleets or one that is going to be sadly in the hands of a few i.o.c. sport administrator and be the puppet of those i.o.c. administrators environmental campaigners in the u.k. say they'll keep fighting to stop mobs from a nuclear facility being dumped into the sea and work has already begun with waste from the hinkley point plant being dredged and released into the bristol channel

but as nadeem other reports a legal challenge is underway. not far from the welsh coast environmental activists keep a close eye on a huge belgian registered ship we make in sixty four feet outside the. it's come from a nuclear plant that's being built on the coast of somerset england and campaigners say the mud it's dumping at sea could contain dangerous radioactive materials they also say it's dropping its load outside a designated dumping area which lies less than two kilometers off shore the campaign is legal bottled in the courts is still going on but they failed to get an injunction imposed on that means the ships like this can carry on the dredging and dumping off the wells coast on an almost daily basis. french energy giant e.t.f. along with the chinese partner is building a nuclear power plant known as hinchliffe point c next to two existing facilities the new plant should begin generating electricity in twenty twenty five and the

company says the dredging will allow six huge vertical shelfs to be drilled for the cooling water system and a.t.f. spokesperson told our jazeera all the permissions needed for dredging the hinkley point c. are in place and the money is no different to sediment found anywhere else up and down the coast the hinkley point sea project team welcomes public discussion and has been open and transparent about the facts around this activity. but this independent member of the welsh assembly argues that it's not clear a thorough environmental impact assessment was ever done it only done one kind of testing and so identify the uranium and the plutonium particles which may or may not be in the mud they need three types of testing yell for the muskets on the tree they only get gamma so therefore they just don't know and that in that building over there is a huge amounts of ignorance as i say they've allowed this country which treats it's like a colony the welsh government says international standards have been met but in recent

weeks hundreds of people have demonstrated outside the assembly one hundred thousand signed petitions calling for the mud dumping to stop. absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. there is no argument. there for precautionary principle so i think to be fair. the government in this case and the people think the most people for. the people behind the protests say they have the law and increasingly public opinion on their saw eat their legal challenge is set to resume next week. cards russia and turkey say they're still working out the details of their plan to avert a major battle in syria's province but they're optimistic a fifteen to twenty kilometer wide demilitarized current always to be set up to keep government troops and rebels apart stephanie decker has more from antakya on a techie syrian 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. 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 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 in the city about ten kilometers away from the agreed. i gave that i feel i don't have any what's happening a lot of foreign states are involved and you 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 on taco. dancing dolphins jumping whales and performing seals that make china's marine theme
