a journalist based in the car he told 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 and president musharraf will has also issued a statement condoling with him 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 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 a 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. let's move on to other news for now and asian leaders have told the u.k.'s prime minister that time is running out to agree on a brics until the morning came on the final day of the sabbath and salzburg with just six months to go before the before version formally departs from the e.u. european council president of trolls says to raise amazed proposal is on the workable but may insists her deal call the checkers plan is the only one on the table. 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 there is no counter proposal on the table at the moment that actually deals delivers on what we need to do and respects the integrity of the

united kingdom and respects the result of the referendum ever about the shirt of the viewer the positive elements in that proposal. the framework for corporation. not least because it risks undermining the single market the question. something modern only good intentions i mean we need a. clear and precise guarantee. siddhis what you probably didn't bridget is the choice of the british people and it's pushed by some who predicted easy solutions but it tells us one think and i fully respect the british sovereignty by saying this it has shown us that those who think that they can easily do without europe that it will go very well and that it will make a lot of money are liars while europe's migration crisis was also high on the agenda and salzburg a subject that's divided. now on the block could soon be turning to egypt for help after chancellor made the suggestion long sleeve report. this is the

man to whom the european union is now looking to solve its migration issue president c.c. of egypt. it was a surprise development at the salzburg summit the idea was driven by the rightwing austrian chancellor sebastian coe it's 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 so far on the phone our bit with egypt we have for the 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 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 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 this in february there is no one size fits all solution to this 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 it does

not mean that it's 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 so you can't simply say we'll do we're going to do what we did over there over there you have to apply you know principles of humanitarian principles and support for human rights of those who are involved 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 li al jazeera salzberg. ugandan pop star turned politician bobby wilde says he'll keep fighting the government or die trying he is speaking to crowds of supporters outside of hard near the capital kampala after returning from the united states where he received medical treatment while since he was tortured and ugandan police custody nothing webb has more from
