3:01 am
a historic meeting with north korea's kim jong il and. rescue operations are due to resume friday morning on lake victoria in tanzania at least forty people died when a ferry sank near get away island on thursday but that toll is expected to rise a warning some of you might find the following images disturbing estimates suggests the boat was carrying hundreds of people when it capsized the national ferry service operator says it's hard to know the precise number because the person dispensing tickets is among the dead catherine sawyer has more from nairobi in neighboring kenya. 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 rescuers to work in the dark i also spoke to a journalist based in the car he told the rest along and he's been talking to
3:02 am
people on the ground including a fisherman who told him that he saw many bodies being retrieved from the lake and president musharraf will have also issued a statement condoling with the removed asking us 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 one 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
3:03 am
a thousand people it was also say to have been overloaded. now the wild news e.u. leaders have told the u.k.'s prime minister that time is running out to agree on a brac said their warning came on the final day of a summit in salzburg austria with just six months to go european council president down task says terry to me is bracks a proposal is unworkable but maine says thirty other so-called czech aspirant is the only one on the table there ensley has more from south america. if the reason why 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
3:04 am
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 to hammer out the final terms with the deal he said that the european twenty 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. moment of truth for rigid negotiations will be the october european council. in october we expect to mark simone progress and results in the budget talks. then we will decide whether conditions are to call an extra summit in november to finalize and formalize the deal. all of which places to resume a in the most invidious position you can possibly imagine this plan was hers a bit in movements of goods freely across e.u. borders but everything else leaving it breaks all the european union's own rules
3:05 am
and lead both france and germany the e.u. are basically saying. come up with something else they don't like her 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 her 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 a new 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.
3:06 am
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 meanwhile the european union is considering turning to egypt to help solve its migration crisis a subject was has deeply divided the block and was among the main agenda items at the sounds were examined austria chancellor wants egypt to prevent refugees and migrants from leaving north africa coming to you for on the phone our bit 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. ugandan pop star turned politician bobby wine has vowed to keep fighting
3:07 am
the government or to die trying he was speaking to crowds of supporters outside his home near kampala after returning from the united states wade received medical treatment wine alleges he was tortured in custody malcolm webb has more from company. the the these people want change in uganda and they think pop star turned politician robert schalk you lanny can bring it out he's better known as bobby wine he's very popular among young people because it is home to wait for his return from the u.s. so what do you mean the president of uganda is coming to. us and is fighting for us this government of ours. everything they use. we citizens who don't have guns they use maintain form. and the men in uniforms made it clear that people were not allowed to gather in the
3:08 am
street just being in the wrong place at the wrong time was enough to get beaten. well the wine says soldiers tortured him when they arrested him last month fiame denies it was in america for medical treatment i assume he landed it yak hopis bundled him into a car and rushed off the last thing they want to crowds of thousands of his supporters gathering on the airport road that leads into the capital kampala. back at his home supporters came to welcome him his popularity the threat to seventy four year old president you know rima seventy who's ruled for more than three decades all the ones that i was inside of clothes were just in the gateway of the banks and there was the old zero cleric so i think it was they don't know as well now the place they were accompanying the over there is so closely spaced they gave her the i only allow it was a cool we're going to get the president of the earth the police didn't want to take
3:09 am
any chances so they pulled him away to his front door. three quarters of ugandans around thirty years old many of them are running out a pop stop it was the change of mass it appeal i have come to continue exactly where i stopped i am going to fight on and like i say that we must get our freedom . so i will get our freedom his wife and children hope it won't come to that but you can as never have a peaceful change of power you will be ones being charged with treason. which will bigger crowds than any politician in the government attempts to stop him only seemed to make him more popular. malcolm web al-jazeera come pala uganda alex vines is the head of the africa program at chatham house he believes the ugandan government will not back down and keep up the pressure on bobby wine.
3:10 am
president seventy of uganda sees him self as the liberationists of uganda he sees himself as a 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 probably winds going to find himself having a difficult time coming i think 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 in a seventy the incumbent leader still has quite a significant amount of support in the rule areas so 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 you for but he hasn't done that yet and the rule there is there's no doubt that mr move seventy and the ugandan government are under significant pressure at
3:11 am
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. the british foreign secretary has met with me and my theater on sansom she jeremy hunt says the address atrocities in rakhine state that pushed nearly seven hundred thousand willing and muslims to flee to bangladesh. but it talked about the importance of speaking out for due process and for justice but we should remember that she doesn't control the military in this country and the person i wanted to meet that wasn't prepared to meet me is the commander in chief of the military minong lane and had seen what i would have said to him is that it is absolutely essential that the perpetrators of any atrocities do have accountability that there is justice and that the world is looking to see if that happens and if it doesn't happen it will

hold him accountable. south korea's president won j.n. says a declaration officially ending the korean war should happen as soon as possible his comments follow a historic three day summit in pyongyang now moon has to turn mediator between donald trump and kim jong un to help fulfill the promise of a nuclear free korean peninsula rob mcbride reports themselves. 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 muna and kim want to forge a bond so strong that they can never slip back to the acrimony of the time.
3:13 am
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 store 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 in 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 a significant diplomatic success for most kerry because in
3:14 am
a few months we should disband to all make preparations was a summit and during the summit itself we are not going to see any confrontation and this is exceptionally moscow that picks 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 man and then turn for

3:19 am
a major military offensive against rebels in need but our stephanie decker reports from antakya any of the syrian turkish border many people in it leave are confused about how the plan will work. 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 one of the clinton's words the demilitarized zone will be a separate zone between us and 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
3:20 am
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 h.g.'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 mud of. the 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
