president try and i crying has died at the age of sixty one we'll take a look at his legacy. and go to sports all of official has just called the first ever round of fifty nine on the european tour and tiger woods finds himself at the top of the standings in the season ending to a championship we'll hear from him later in the program. at least one hundred twenty people are confirmed dead in tanzania after a ferry they were traveling in capsized on thursday that death toll is expected to rise as more bodies are found in lake victoria about two hundred fifty others are feared missing. a lake victoria covers three countries as you can see there tanzania uganda and kenya the ferry sank between who caraway and who could are islands on the lake south eastern shore of tanzania has

a history of ferry disasters over the years with overcrowding often playing a role in one thousand nine hundred six more than eight hundred people died when the m.v. sank in lake victoria one of the worst ferry disasters of the last century in twenty eleven nearly two hundred people drowned after sandy bar the island in the indian ocean that is part of tanzania the passenger ferry was carrying eight hundred people when it sank one year later one hundred forty five people were killed in another ferry disaster in the same area let's talk now to catherine sawyer who is in nairobi in nairobi in neighboring kenya for us so catherine the latest death toll now climbing well above one hundred what is the latest there. yes and we expect this death toll to rise some more many others who many more bodies are still trapped and a what a little bit toria and nothing more than very quickly but what coming out of all

there is that this barrier with clearly overloaded it was a fairly new ferry had just been serviced but we have had former government officials who have thing that it had on board more than four hundred people the capacity of that ferry is one hundred and you know there was a market this it was bound to have very many people and you know who had their goods there a view of there were bags of cement and things like that in this boat was heading was transporting this traders from one island to another where this market was now recovery efforts still going on government divers and all the other people who are involved in this effort right catherine we're going to have to leave this i was going to go live to london where british prime minister theresa may is about to speak on a brazen negotiations let's listen in i was in salzburg for talks with european leaders i have always said that these negotiations would be tough and they were

always bound to be toughest in the final straight while both sides want a deal we have to face up to the. despite the progress we have made there are two big issues where we remain a long way apart the first is our economic relationship after we had lest here the e.u. is still only offering us two options the first option would involve the u.k. staying in the european economic area and a customs union with the e.u. . in plain english this would mean we'd still have to abide by all the e.u. rules uncontrolled immigration from the e.u. would continue and we couldn't do trade deals we want with other countries

that would make a mockery of the referendum we had two years ago the second option would be a basic free trade agreement for great britain that would introduce checks at the great britain e.u. border but even worse northern ireland would effectively remain in the customs union and parts of the single market permanently separated economically from the rest of the u.k. by a border town the irish sea parliament has already unanimously rejected this idea creating any form of customs border between northern ireland and the rest of the u.k. which is not to respect that northern ireland is an integral part of the united kingdom in line with the principle of consent as set up clearly in the belfast good friday agreement it is something i will never agree to indeed in my

judgment it is something no british prime minister would ever agree to if the e.u. believe i will they are making a fundamental mistake anything which fails to respect the referendum or which effectively divides our country into would be a bad deal and i have always said no deal is better than a bad deal. but i've also been clear that the best outcome is for the u.k. to leave with a deal that is why following months of intensive work and detailed discussions we proposed a third option for our future economic relationship based on the frictionless trade in goods that is the best way to protect jobs here and in the e.u. and to avoid a hard border between arland and northern ireland while respecting the referendum

result and the integrity of the united kingdom yesterday dannatt to a skill set our proposals would undermine the single market he didn't explain how in any detail or make any counter proposal so we are at an impasse. the second issue is connected to the first we both agree that the withdrawal agreement needs to include a backstop to ensure that if there's a delay in implementing our new relationship the still won't be a hard border between aren't into northern ireland but the e.u. is proposing to achieve this by effectively keeping northern ireland in the customs union as i have already said that is unacceptable we will never agree to it it would mean breaking up our country we will set out our alternative that preserves the integrity of the u.k. and it will be in line with the commitments we made back in december including the

commitment that no new regulator barriers should be created between northern ireland and the rest of the u.k. unless the northern ireland executive and assembly agree as i told the leaders neither side should demand the unacceptable of the other we cannot accept anything that threatens the integrity of our union just as they cannot accept anything that threatens the integrity of their. we cannot accept anything that does not respect the result of the referendum just as they cannot accept anything that is not in the interests of their citizens throughout this process i have treated the e.u. with nothing but respect the u.k. expects the same a good relationship at the end of this process depends on it at this late stage in

the negotiations it is not acceptable to simply reject the other side's proposals without a detailed explanation and counterproposals so we now need to hear from the e.u. what the real issues are and what their alternative is so that we can discuss them until we do we cannot make progress in the meantime we must and will continue the work of preparing ourselves for no deal in particular i want to clarify our approach to two issues first there are over three million e.u. citizens living in the u.k. who will be understandably worried about what the outcome of yesterday's summit means for their future i want to be clear with you that even in the event of no deal your rights will be protected you are our friends our neighbors our colleagues

we want you to stay second i want to reassure the people of northern ireland but in the event of no deal we will do everything in our power to prevent a return to our hard border let me also say this the referendum was the largest democratic exercise this country has ever undergone to deny its legitimacy or frustrate its result threatens public trust in our democracy. that is why for over two years i have worked day and night to deliver a deal that sees the u.k. leave the e.u. i have worked to bring people with me even when that has not always seemed possible no one wants a good deal more than me but the e.u. should be clear i will not overturn the result of the referendum nor will i

break up my country we need serious engagement on resolving the two big problems in the negotiations and we stand ready. british prime minister to resume giving a statement there at ten downing street in london essentially laying down the red lines for britain's ongoing negotiations with the european union after the criticism that she has taken from e.u. leaders and also leaders back home in the u.k. over the last twenty four hours let's go live now to knead barker who is standing by for us outside the parliament buildings at westminster in central london so need we heard to raise them a they're almost throwing down the gorton and as it were. and this is seen perhaps as almost a make or break moment not just for her leadership but for the brakes in negotiations

as they stand. she was absolutely defiant i think that's probably the best way to describe her approach here it has been an incredibly bruising forty eight hours for to resume a she went over to salzburg to the e.u. leaders summit hoping to come back with warm words with support from her counterparts about her latest and what she believes her best proposal for exiting the e.u. so far the so-called checkers proposal that took ages to draw up it led to the high profile resignations of course johnson her foreign secretary the time and david davis the president secretary but she's pushed on and she's believed in her proposal but when she went over there to salzburg she heard from donald tusk who said that it was a workable form emanuel mccrum saying that he couldn't possibly back it but what she's clearly saying here is that my plan sticks i will throw my weight support

behind it it's the last that are creating problems here is the e.u. they now need to reciprocate with something that allows us to meet in the middle indeed even as she was giving her statement there she laid out the two basic options that were that were put in front of the u.k. government neither neither of which she said she would agree to she said it was the the first option which was to abide by all of the current e.u. rules which she said was unworkable and then the section second option being a basic free trade agreement which she said also had problems she went on to say the northern ireland would not be separated from the rest of the u.k. . obviously she's looking for something in the middle of those two. what are the chances that she's going to get that with six months to go now on the deadline for britain's exit from the european union. she knows the clock

is ticking and the european union has set a new deadline of tobar for their next e.u. summit the european council chief donald tusk has also set or another beating a bit further down the line in november a major breakthrough meeting we think to be able to iron out any possible creases in the goshi ation but as you said there are some massive fundamental differences of opinion to resume a in her checkered steel put forward the idea for a common e.u. u.k. customs area to prevent goods from getting stuck at borders imports and exports and when it comes to the northern ireland situation she made it very clear that the e.u. so-called backstop idea an idea that would keep northern ireland a part of the u.k. within some sort of customs arrangement with the rest of europe is not acceptable because what she believes will happen is it will lead to the creation of a border right down the middle of the irish sea essentially an exciting northern

ireland making it part of a wider arlindo value in which only plays into the political nationalists hands over in ireland she said that she as a prime minister nor any prime minister at all could possibly some by him see any plan that lead to the breakup of the u.k. happen any plan also she said that undermines the integrity of the referendum described as one of the biggest democratic acts in british history all right much more reaction on this to come over the next year as no doubt for the moment need barker live for us there in london thanks needs. plenty more ahead on the news out of the u.n. raising the alarm over deteriorating conditions at a syrian refugee camp on the jordanian border. with the potential impact of a visit by russia's top diplomat to bosnia weeks ahead of its general elections and joshua and pov it can trade verbal blows one more time ahead of saturday's big

heavyweight title fight find out what they said later in sport. so let's go ahead but first an investigation by the associated press news agency shows a systematic campaign by the chinese government to strip young muslims of their language and culture the un has said around one million muslims in the region have been rounded up and held in so-called reeducation camps chinese government denies this but on a honda has more. when many pay traveled with her husband and young baby to turkey to visit his sick father she lived forward three 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 wages and other minorities under the pretext of countering terrorism and religious extremism all.

made it says chinese authorities weren't just targeting adults her children were apparently taken to the soften age she hasn't heard from them since then o'hearn are on the can to become let me after i got the news i was so upset by one of them to grow up with me. isn't true every time i think of them i think of the things that have happened i feel horrible there isn't a day when i haven't cried. in the so many pages now living in exile unable to return to sion jiang she believes her children was swept up in the. large scale campaign aimed at replacing the muslim weaker identity with the chinese one something the chinese government denies. gens consistent measures are intended to promote stability development harmony and at the same time strike against ethnic separatists and terrorist opposition movements according to the law abdul him and

iman doesn't buy the official chinese line from cush he fled china five years ago after what he says was repeated her arrest meant of her his activism and writings since then his wife was a restated and he hasn't heard from his five children his daughter is thought to be at this so-called bilingual school but a sign at the front gate tell students to speak only mandarin on campus. to show them that should obviously it's brutality it's even worse than being killed what the chinese government's doing is torture some analysts say china is repeating now widely condemned colonial practices of taking children against their will from their indigenous communities weavers here the education system as one of the primary threats to their future as a society is a weaker society and to their families to get there they made it describes an overwhelming sense of despair and i want to tell them i was so sorry for only.

despair at being separated from the children she loves despair that the next generation of we may be stripped of the language and identity they hold so dear miriam hall and his era let's speak now to adrian cents in stuttgart germany via skype he is a china analyst who researches china's ethnic minority policy thanks very much for being with us so what is your reaction to this a.p. investigation then to what extent does it match or perhaps conflict with your understanding of what is happening in the region. it is very consistent with the very intensive policies implemented by the region's new pontiff secretary chu and church was responsible not only for a massive securitization and police recruitment campaign as well as the re education campaign but he also has been recruiting tens of thousands of chinese

language teachers for rico and other muslim majority regions in shinjiro that to see the extent to which children are being separated from their parents is really a new level and so i am despite my research shocked by the a.p. report so what do you expect to happen then do you think that this this investigation what will make any difference will they have an anti any effect as far as what china does going forward and this is unfortunately unclear however i do believe that china does care about its international. image especially in the context of the about the growth initiative which is a core part. there is a possibility that china may scale down the operation in the near future in order to at least try to repair some of the damage that has been done to its image as well as the ones that about that road. and as far as they did the extent i

mean you said earlier that this that this was quite shocking what is it that perhaps johns jumps out at you the most about about these findings. what jumps out is a real battle for the hearts and souls of the next generation and now we do see this in the entire nation that she didn't things a regime has been moving to and and from attending a religious service to both the christians and for muslims inside and outside of. and he's also been burning minors from getting the religious education in sunday school or be it in a muslim summer camps and other facilities. but this is getting really serious and this need to separate children from parents is the most severe form. of implements and the brain washing that's being done to parents that have been the experience as well as to the chip could very well have

a long term impact good to speak with you adrian sense talking to us there from a shortcut thanks for being with us the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov is visiting bosnia and herzegovina and it's so dominated semi autonomous region republika srpska just a few weeks ahead of elections russia's top diplomat is the latest in a series of high profile people to visit the ethnically divided nation he is emphasizing russian links to bosnia so population bosnia has a complex government system designed to reduce ethnic tensions there are three presidents there with equal powers one serve one crowd and one bosniak well let's speak now to slap coal they did cheers a in assistant professor at the sarajevo school of science and technology thanks very much for being with us so what what message will russia's foreign minister be bringing then in these meetings.

why i don't think there is any particular message that he's bringing except that he is visiting a country which has been recognized by russia for such a long time diplomatic protocol is as it should be he's visiting the presidency the ministry of foreign affairs and then he's going to banja luka to the capital of one of the provinces in bosnia-herzegovina republika srpska so i don't think there is any particular message that could be derived from it except for the fact that russia is trying to demonstrate that they do have influence in this part of the world i mean the balkans and that they can project their power and their influence elsewhere as long as the west is trying to press russia in some other parts of the world like the ukraine where nato is trying to penetrate to get seen is trying to include ukraine into its own structure so russia is in my view trying to create

a counterbalance a counterweight to demonstrate that they can project their power and they influence in those parts of the world which are traditionally perceived as on their western influence and when you say the russians are trying to demonstrate that they have leverage in bosnia what sort of form does that leverage take over what i mean how close are the links between russia and bosnia at this point. well i don't see that they have a particular practical leverage you know they have a real substantial leverage in croatia where they invested a lot of money but they haven't done so. practically day only have this kind of political demonstration as a leverage to demonstrate that they have some influence in boston and as long as they respect the boss in presidency and the ministry of foreign affairs which they

do obviously i don't see that as a problem as a any kind of demonstration of russian power against paulson yards to go veto or its sovereignty or territorial integrity or whatever it is there are a signal sent to the west to nato and the u.s. that russia has its own leverage is too good to speak with. joining us there from saudi arabia. the president of vietnam has died in hospital at the age of sixty one the government says tran die quietly and been sick for several months he was one of vietnam's three most powerful leaders but his presidential role was largely ceremonial himmel morgan looks back at his life. grand icon's time in office was brief but marked by domestic crackdowns and a bid to stabilise relations with the united states he was sworn in as president of vietnam in april to sixteen the sixty one year old had been

a public security minister and police general areas which had been the focus of criticism of the nation's human rights records under his rule vietnam launched 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 us president donald trump and pursued a trade pact after the us 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 despite the fact that vietnam is one of as many as five or six country. within the association of southeast asian nations that has territorial claims disputes with china it's the only one of those five countries that is this consistently spoken out against china and even if you accept the fact

that it's that it's that it's citing principles of international law and international norms freedom of navigation etc is done very selectively in contrast to the lack of inherence to those norms domestically in vietnam nonetheless i think the government of vietnam should be applauded for standing up for for their rights in the south china sea because of the china and clearly the late president would have been part of that decision to do so the rule of president is largely seen as ceremonial but posting with theme as a stepping stone to becoming the communist party chief and thus the nation's top leader in. good weather now his cabinet that's right we've talked hurricanes typhoons now we're going to talk about a tropical depression and don't ever us to me underestimated tropical depression i want to take you here instead of low state of mexico notice those clouds right there that is a tropical depression but i want to show you what it had done as the system made its way towards the towards the east first of all i want to put this into motion

for you there's the clouds right there dissipating but i want to show you the video here that came out of the area it was ninety millimeters of rain in just four hours that caused this in sinhala state cars were washed away flash flooding in businesses as well as homes in the governor there has declared a state of emergency so we can never underestimate the power of these storms it really just depends on how fast they're moving how slow the moving and the geography that they are pushing through now a lot of that rain is still going to be a problem over the next few days and that is moving up here towards parts of the united states across parts of texas we're going to be seeing quite a bit of rain and probably flooding over the next few days in this area as you can see that rain is coming up and meeting a frontal boundary across this region and with that over the next few days here is where that heavy rain is going to be so this is all due to the impulse moving up here towards parts of texas as well from friday over toward saturday still heavy rain across the region causing flash flooding possibly across much of that area.

embassy there so let's speak now to a senior political analyst. in paris so marwan what sort of support is. mahmoud abbas likely to get from the french president and is it going to be anything beyond simple platitudes. well look he will get support at least rhetorically and certainly france will reemphasize its traditional position which is also the european position on palestine which is a two state solution and end of the subtle meant building by israel as well as of course support for. and so on so forth but i think it will not go beyond the symbolic at this point in time at least it doesn't look like it but i think president our bus will get all the help possible whether it is from europe or

elsewhere unfortunately for the palestinians the arab world is divided global powers are not interested and the american assault on palestine continues so seriously he does need whatever he can get from the french hence the europeans on palestine and there is there is no shortage of criticism of what the u.s. has done with regard to the palestinians under control not only moving the capital they're moving the embassy to jerusalem from tel aviv and then there was of course the cut in u.n. funding but how much does this pap's comes does it come down to president bass is leadership of the palestinians because many palestinians will be looking to him for something well look at this point in time just for your first part of your question because this is really key here we know that france and

europe hold some very important and principled position on palestine at least that the addition of once again two state solution in the settlements is jerusalem capital of palestine so and so forth but if the french slash european reaction to the american withdrawal from the iran nuclear deal is any test. well once again the europeans and the french were critical of the american position on the iran deal but in the end of the day they did nothing in order to stop the united states and did nothing in order to balance or do anything parallel to the american position on iran and i think palestine is even less critical to france and europe than than the iran nuclear deal so while the french might support the palestinians but i doubt it will add up to anything in the end now in us far as a bus is concerned there's no doubt at this point in time in palestinian history

either they unite or they should prepare that the palestinian cause could die at least for the foreseeable future because unless the palestinian factions especially hamas and fatah unite and the president the bus or with president abbas and pave the way forward on to how to deal with israel and the united states unless they do that certainly the american assault will continue israel settlements illegal settlements will continue and hence the deal of the century will be anything but something that the palestinians would have then to deal with that the end of the day incapable of presenting a united response to it so present a bus when he comes back from the united nations after lobbying thirty some diplomats from thirty some countries in new york he's going to have to face the music at home and that is becoming louder and louder every day he needs to unite the ranks he needs to unite the palestinian people and then he needs to come up

with a united stance visit the both the deal of the century and the continued assault by the united states on the palestinian question good to get your perspective on this as always senior political analyst a model on the shah in paris thank you. now protesters have been marching in syria's rebel held italy province calling on the international community to stop the asset government from cementing its grip on power demanding president asset be removed from office before a new constitution is drafted in a hollow reports from beirut. they chant against bashar assad the syrian president to a survived an eighty year rebellion against his rule the opposition has been all but defeated all they have left is their voices. oh no constitution no reconstruction until a third leaves power that is their demand it's a message syrians in villages and towns across the rebel controlled province of idlib are standing up to the international community. we are afraid this new

constitution would not be any different and it won't be in the favor of the opposition we are concerned because some countries are now moving closer to the regime. program x. there were fears of a major assault against the province today there is a sense of relief following a deal between russia and turkey that will at least for the time being prevent bombing and displacement. russia and iran gave priority to ties with turkey over regaining control of it live turkey had warned a government offensive in the province would be a breaking point in their alliance but it wasn't just that a bloodbath would hurt russia's efforts to convince the international community to pay for syria's reconstruction and support a political process that the judum mises assad's government but the united nations says there is still potential for a lot of fighting in civilian populated areas turkey and russia didn't say how they plan to implement

a demilitarized zone free of so-called radical rebels but yan egeland's humanitarian task force was given some details it seems turkey backed rebels could play a role on the ground what i understand is that. the so-called war on terror is not called off in the country that will be in the future air raids against the listed organizations there will also be fighting between on groups and activists and the so called terrorists the so-called radicals there is and will be many civilians in the serious. three million syrians who live in atlanta half of them already displaced from cities and towns under state control for them reconciling with a government that has killed so many people is not an option they hope the international community feels the same for now the west has shown resistance to

work with us but many fear the political transition away from the syrian leader is no longer a priority for the center for their answers either being kicked out. of the head of the norwegian refugee council yan egeland has sounded the alarm on the deteriorating conditions at a refugee camp at the borders of syria jordan and iraq to look beyond camp is in a u.s. controlled no conflict zone it is home to fifty thousand people who are in desperate need of food and medical supplies the u.n. hasn't been able to deliver aid to the camp since january syria and jordan blaming each other for blocking access and says needs are exploding to use his words and he urges governments give the green light to an aid convoy. this is a u.n. assistant secretary general and regional humanitarian coordinator for the syria crisis he says the situation at rock bottom is appalling. this is a group of people that have been there it would have been impossible to act really

literally in the desert between a very close adjacent to the borders of jordan the most often point within syria what is appalling is that the last time to grow to system was in january and the time before the murders of indians and you have women children many civilians who are in desperate need the latest development is also lost access to the clinics that you have up until a week ago so we're really talking about is desperate situation and we're falling to everybody to allow us to be able to. you will go from within syria to this. 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 our information really. increased medical

cases people are and are hungry so politics have to come to the side and allow to this really set a joint agency to provide assistance to this group of people who are in a desperate situation a tight as military government has cleared the way for political parties to resume activities more than four years after a coup so they can all campaign organize street gatherings for an election which may be held in february when he reports from bangkok. four years after having their power taken away the leaders of the poor thai party are able to meet again without fearing arrest since the coup that removed thailand's largest party from office political gatherings of five people or more have been outlawed but now the military government has partially relaxed its ban on political activities. i told the board there what's happening now is that we are still alive and we are proud of what we have therefore we will continue to do activities and those activities have proven
