well you know. some of it i like. the death toll rises to one hundred after a ferry capsized on the side of lake victoria many still missing. from doha also coming up vietnam's present. at the age of. at his legacy. syrian refugee camp on the jordanian border plus. their. warning on the growing numbers affected by.

one hundred people a. ferry they were traveling in capsized on day that death toll is expected to rise as more bodies are found in victoria more than two hundred and fifty others a feared missing. three countries tanzania uganda and kenya a ferry sank between a core island on the lakes south east and. katherine sawyer in neighboring kenya so death toll as we've been saying that figure rising throughout the morning are expected to keep going up that way. yes we do expect this death toll to keep going up we have hard information from government official saying more

than two hundred people have missing so on the a hundred bodies have been recovered in what is coming out of all this tamara is that this ferry was overloaded government officials said that more than four hundred people were on board we have information that the capacity of that ferry was just about one hundred at most two hundred and it was going on just talking about the people who are on board this was a market day so there were people with their goods for trade there were vehicles bag of cement etc and what we're being told happened is that this ferry was just going to dock and as people surged forward this is unknown because everybody wants to get out of the ferry ahead so they shifted weight to one side of the ferry and that's how it was toppled over so recovery efforts going on there's a lot of help that is coming from the locals local fishermen are using their boats

to try and retrieve as many bodies as possible that are still trapped under the water of the relatives of those who are still missing there as well hoping that their loved ones are going to be found alive but this operation laura has moved from rescue to recovery and of course gotten a real tragedy here is this is not the first time a disaster like this of this scale has happened. yes very this is the first large this is the first major disaster in the last few years in lakes in lake victoria the last serious other incident involving a ferry happened back in one thousand nine hundred six when many people died more than eight hundred and this was blamed on overloading we see in also in the last few years incidents in late victoria small fishing vessels capsizing several

people dead but when you look at tanzania as a whole particularly the indian ocean we have seen in the last few years other major tragedies back in twenty twelve a hundred and forty five people were killed when a ferry capsized it was coming from the mainland tanzania heading to the island of zanzibar a year before about two hundred people were also killed all these incidents blamed on overcrowding so investigations that have started are really going to be focusing on that the issue of overcrowding we're told in this particular incident the ticketing officer is among those who were in that ferry so investigators are going to be scoring the offices trying to see whether there are any backup records to try and see how many people exactly were in that ferry a lot of questions are going to be asked the government need to supply those answers quickly people hoping that this investigation they're going to be speedily

done that they're going to get. the information publicly and the government is going to do more in terms of putting measures in place to make sure an incident like this a tragedy does like this does not happen again absolutely catherine sobering is the latest from nairobi thanks very much kyra. that investigation by the associated press news agency shows a systematic campaign by the chinese government to strip young weaker muslims of their language and culture the un has set around one million muslims in the region have been rounded up and held in so-called re-education camps tony's government denies this where the hand has more. when many pictures of old with her husband and young baby to turkey to visit his sick father she lived for with the children with family the oldest was eight the youngest just three but that trip appears to have coincided with what the united nations says was a systematic campaign by the chinese government to round up muslim we give the

a crackdown on corruption and dissidents posting on social media he'll also be remembered for a major expansion of the power of the ministry of public security and the police in the larger vietnam political system he quite clearly has made the ministry of public security now one of the preeminent organs of power in that country and it continues to affect the lives of daily via the maze and not of her positive way i mean in terms of our rights violations he was he was the leader of the band abroad one try to stick to vietnam's policy of non-alignment whereby the nation doesn't rely too heavily on any one superpower and exploits rivalries to its own gain he quoted various international leaders from poland to iran and was the last head of state to see cuba's fidel castro before his death but vietnam's maritime disputes with china in the south china sea and its long term concerns over its northern neighbors territorial ambition has seen its edge a little closer to the united states one sign billions of dollars worth of deals

with the u.s. president donald trump and pursued a trade pact after the u.s. pulled out of the transpacific partnership once enemies on the battlefield and the u.s. defense secretary james mattis to discuss the prospect of military cooperation between the two countries in march as a sign of this growing relationship a navy aircraft carrier with five thousand soldiers and pilots on board anchored near the port city of the land this was the first time that had happened since the end of the vietnam war in one nine hundred seventy five and the historic visit carried a message to another superpower now that was a very significant decision and it's. very astute because the color would. be part of the united states navy and so was about two clues into sas china sea as a show of defiance against china the rule of president is largely seen as

a very close adjacent to the borders of jordan the most up and point within syria what is appalling is that the last time to grow to assistant was in january and the time before was in summer to the indian and you have women children many civilians or in desperate need now the latest development is that over the last act to a clinic that you have up until a week ago so we're really talking about is definitely treasure and were appalling to everybody to be able to take anything. which primarily will go from within syria to the. south and forty of syria it requires the cooperation of everybody everybody needs to put the humanitarian needs of these people above and beyond anything out we're talking about families we're talking about children and information that really. increases medical cases people children are hungry so politics have to come to the side and

a lot of the humanitarian agencies to provide assistance to this group of people who are in a desperate situation to have head on out of nigeria the money line jungle sold into slavery to bring it to a map that. hello again well this hour we are going to start here in north asia where we are seeing one from about new pushing through but if you notice here across the korean peninsula these clouds right there well in those clouds we're going to start to see more rain showers forming as we go towards saturday and a lot of circulation right here towards the northern part of japan so up towards kind of four sapporo rain for you than down across most of japan here on saturday but as we go towards sunday things do get much better going to see that front push out towards of civic and clear skies for most of the areas in deede well here

. reminder of our top stories the. hopes are fading and tanzania for around two hundred fifty passengers missing after a ferry capsized these one hundred people are now confirmed dead totals are

expected to rise as more bodies are found in lake victoria. the president of vietnam has died in hospital the age of sixty one the government says quiet has been sick for several months he was one of vietnam's most three most powerful leaders. and the u.n. is warning the situation to syrian refugee camp on the jordanian border is appalling and the people there are increasingly desperate to make. us controlled no conflict. britain's prime minister is facing criticism increasing criticism for her breakfast plans from her own party from political rivals and from the media they say tourism a was humiliated by european union leaders and. they rejected her so-called second leave the e.u. workable just six months to go before person is out may insists her plan is the only option so what is the checkers plan all about when it calls for maintaining freedom of trade but seeks restrictions on movement of people from the new entries

a maze plan the british government retains regains control of the borders. stop sending billions of dollars every year to the e.u. but how much britain will pay for it divorce is unclear some estimate around fifty billion dollars a major stumbling block is what happens to the border between island which is in the e.u. and northern ireland were. just part of the u.k. many don't want a so-called hard border. down the list is deputy director of british influence that's a pro europe think tank and he joins us live from london good to have you with us so this check his proposal was roundly rejected by these e.u. leaders it seemed to come as a surprise to to resume a why was it rejected it was rejected for two key reasons firstly it seems to divide the single market which the e.u.'s insists it cannot be divided secondly it refuses the possibility that the u.k. were main in the customs union which is necessary to preserve an open and invisible

border on the island of ireland the e.u. has been saying this only rejects for two months and treason most innocent and yet she said there's there's no alternative there's no plan b. this is it this is what's on the table so what does happen going forward. or she has to capitulate the only question is how she does it so there are only three options available to her the first is that we have a fool single market and customs union for the whole u.k. the second is that we have a border in the irish sea which means the northern ireland stays in the customs union and soon the market for goods and that means a northern ireland will be exempt from the u.k.'s trade deals that has already been called on except by theresa may and the third option is that she has a people's vote so the people can decide if that's what they want to be the fourth option is a no deal which is actually impossible because it would collapse our economy or is it really absolutely impossible because a lot of people are now talking about a no deal bracks it. they are talking about it but they the people who are talking

about are the most of the people who don't understand the full implications of what it means you know grounded aircraft because if we leave the european aviation safety agency the possibility that people won't be able to access vital medicines and markets a collapse puts a different color these are by the experts and selves and warn you this so theresa may even tries to engineer a new deal the economy will collapse within days and she'll have to return this is remaking teresa mayes position as prime minister pretty unstable isn't it was crucial conservative party conference in just over a week's time how much support does she still have from within her party i would say that her support is rapidly shrinking she just managed to assemble a coalition for the check is still another check his deal is that all bets are off you have remain is hugh are going to be far more wary about supporting her now you have the heartbreaks to is always going after anyway so really is

a lonely place for her to be the only people she could depend on with the d.p. the whole genius in northern ireland and she signals that she's going to have a hard road in the irish sea they'll withdraw their support as well and it's not an easy situation is it jungle less thanks very much for joining us there from london . eighty e.u. countries have added their voice to the chorus of criticism against the planned demolition of a palestinian bedouin village earlier this month israel's supreme court gave the ok for qana to be torn down to make way for settlements and ron khan has more from the village in the occupied west bank. present comes when and and now there's a very small protest i think. he's going to release it just almost an import says this. should have been much larger but the israeli police about three stopped listening ins from coming from the occupied west bank to call in our village now the suman before the fight it was very much about sending a message to the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas saying that this issue on the

left what needs to be top of the agenda but sickly when it comes to you in general simply due to take place later next week where he's likely to talk about it the palestinian protesters here say they will be. they are waiting for the demolition so i. remember this and it was. the leader of yemen's hooty rebels has called on his supporters to sound firm against the saudi amorality that coalition trying to defeat them thousands of people filled the streets of the yemeni capital sana'a to celebrate the fourth anniversary of the healthy takeover of the city the u.n. is trying to mediate peace talks to end the fighting between the government and he sees the conflict has killed more than ten thousand people and left millions displaced. in the philippines the president's proposed changes to the constitution have provoked more protests opposition groups say were triggered to taste plans for a federal state will lead to dictatorship the march in manila was on the forty six out of us or the declaration of martial law by
