we're in for you. dozens of people are killed off to an overloaded ferry capsized and tanzania. welcome to al-jazeera live from my headquarters in doha the middle of the problem also ahead tories and they went to salzburg expecting support for the brics plan but all the e.u. countries delivered a very different message. celebrations in uganda as a pop star turned politician bobby one who turned on probably due west where he received medical treatment for injuries he says he suffered in that ugandan police custody and a show of unity south korean president and returns to salt water

a meeting with north korea's kim jong il on. rescue operations the jews will resume on tanzania's lake victoria on friday morning that these forty four people died when the ferry sank they were island on thursday but that toll is expected to rise as a warning that some viewers might find the following images disturbing estimates suggest the boat was carrying hundreds of people when it capsized the national ferry service is operators says it's hard to know the precise number because the person dispensing tickets is among the dead 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. also i spoke to

a journalist based in the capital the rest alone 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 of president musharraf when he has also issued a statement condoling with a believed asking to keep calm as a rescue operations continue through the coming days and also as you know investigations into what exactly happened happened to begin but what we do know from witnesses is that this ferry appeared 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 one thousand people it was also said to have been overloaded . to other news now and e.u. leaders have told the u.k.'s prime minister that time is running out to agree on a break said the deal the warning came on the final day of a summit on salzburg with just six months to go european council president all of top says choice amazing breakthrough proposal is unworkable but may insist call the checkouts plan is the only one on the table lawrence lee has more from salzburg. 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 for the final press conference the head of the european council donald said in no uncertain terms that there was complete unity among the e.u. twenty seven the check is would not work but only that it's. 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 van 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 are no longer invited to if there was any point having a summit in the. then moment of truth for rigid negotiations will be de october european council. in october we expect much more progress and result in their budget 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 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 a no deal so where it leaves the u.k. know for sure the 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 brics it will even happen. meanwhile the european union is considering returning to egypt to help solve its migration crisis the subject has david divided the block and was among the main issues that salzburg austria as chancellor months egypt to help prevent refugees and migrants from leaving north africa your common view 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 code that leave egypt for europe and when ever they have lived it took them back to ugandan pop star turned politician bobby one says he'll pick a fight in the government or die trying to speak to crowds of supporters outside

his home near the capital kampala after returning from the united states where he received medical treatment while says he was tortured and ugandan police custody welcome webb has more from kampala. the these people want change in uganda. and dating pop star turned politician robert chowgule money can bring eight. he's better known as bobby wine he's very popular among young people who gathered at the time to wait for his return from the u.s. so what do you make of the president of uganda has got me on the news for us this government of was. everything they use god yet. we citizens who don't have guns they use maintained form thanks and the men in uniforms made it clear that people were not allowed to gather

in the 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 he's in america for medical treatment i know it was soon as he landed at the actual piece 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 whose ruled for more than three decades will be one survivor was inside of was there just in the beginning of the that and sixty was so over her old zero very exciting they don't know as well now the place they were accompanying her over there i believe the state going her only allow me was that they kill her that's

a present for her the police didn't want to take any chances so they pulled him away to his front door. three courses of ugandans around thirty years old many of them around employed a corpse often 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 or we sowed die so i will get our freedom his wife and children hope it won't come to that but you can and never had a peaceful change of power you will be winds being charged with treason. with bigger crowds than any politician in the government attempts to stop him only seemed to make him more popular malcolm webb al-jazeera come pala uganda now alex miles is the head of the africa program at the think tank chatham house and he believes the ugandan government will keep up the pressure on vavi vine. the

president must seventy of uganda sees him self 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 probably one's going to find himself having a difficult time coming i think the ugandan youth 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 was seventy the incumbent leader still has quite a significant amount of support in the rule areas so i 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 mustafa ne and the ugandan government are under significant pressure at the

moment and there's some fragmentation going on in their security forces the wind is just one of number of headaches you gunder is facing just now south korean president roh j.s. has a declaration officially ending the korean war should happen as soon as possible as comments follow a three day summit for the north korean leader and can yank nauman would help mediate between kept on and donald trump to help fulfill the promise of a nuclear free korean peninsula while mcbride reports from solve. this summit and did as it began reach in symbolism president mungy end 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. moon and kim want to forge a bond so strong that they can never slip back to the acrimony of the power. into which 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 political or nuclear 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 moscow area because in a few months the disband told make preparations was a summit and during the summit itself we are not going to see any confrontation and this is exceptionally mosk idea that kicks their major goal is to wait. alt as soon as moon return 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 detailed measures or the appropriate measures are things that must be agreed upon between north korea and the u.s. . it underlines moons vital role now as go between the north korea's 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 a change that may be difficult to stop cried al-jazeera so. the british foreign secretary has met me all muslim to enfants or cheney jeremy hunt says they addressed atrocities in iraq and state that pushed nearly seven hundred thousand range of muslims to bangladesh. but you 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 want to meet that wasn't referred to me really is the commander in chief of the military may know lane and if i'd seen what i would have said to him is that it is absolutely essential that the perpetrators of any atrocities do have accountability that is justice that the world is looking to see if that happens and it doesn't happen it will hold him accountable.
