5:02 pm
a market day so it was traders who had their goods in there there were view calls there were bags of cement etc and what we're told happened is that as the ferry was going to dock people surged forward this is common because everybody wants to get off ahead of the others and and this sort of also shifted the way to one side of the ferry and that is perhaps what caused it to topple over so recovery effort still going on we expect the death toll to rise calls really helping in the situation local fishermen have provided their boats and just trying to do what they can to help recover as many as many bodies as possible that are still trapped under water relatives of those who are still missing are also there hoping that perhaps their loved ones are going to be found alive but this operation has moved from rescue to recovery britain's prime minister says brags that talks are at an impasse

5:04 pm
what happened at the e.u. leaders summit in austria and she came out fighting her message really was it's not good enough the way you're treating us she said that you cannot reject out of hand our proposals without coming up with detailed proposals of your own in the message to brussels saying that now the ball was in their court of course she she's been in the opinion of some people brit kewl by the likes of donald tusk who's taken to twitter with a picture of the two of them over a cake and the caption no cherries alluding to the fact that all along european union negotiators have been telling brits and you will not be able to cherry pick which is what they think that the checkers plan that she's been pushing does saying that we would like this closer alignment we would like some form of customs union.
5:05 pm
for some things for goods but. in other areas no they're saying that the rules of the rules they will have to be stuck to and to reason may says that you are not respecting us in your messaging at the same time she's talking to the domestic audience here because she's under fire from people within her own party some of whom would prefer a no deal breck's it they say that operating under world trade organization rules would allow britain to prosper striking trade deals with the rest of the world and did she say anything new nadeem in terms of the british government's position right now. hardly anything has him she did say though as a result of the discussions in austria that she will guarantee the rights of european union citizens here in the u.k. even in the event of a no deal breaks it and she said that that was something that the government is actively preparing for in case that needs in case that actually turns out to be the
5:06 pm
scenario love her own preference and the preference of people like her chancellor certainly not for a no deal bret's it but this is perhaps trying to to to to to push the you back to say well we will be prepared to go that far if you're not going to soften some of your red lines but it really is hard to see how they can walk away from things like the the backstop on the northern island the irish republic border at the moment that is a sticking point and she's just admitted it that's new as well using the word pass saying the negotiations are at an amp us all along we've been hearing that good progress is being made and from brussels as well talking about a possible deal by october at the latest november now some political commentators in britain saying this all makes no deal bret's it perhaps more likely than it was just weeks ago and even by a life or

vietnam in equal time 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 so 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 we had norms 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 discussed the prospect of military cooperation between the two countries in march as a sign of his 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. countries within the association of southeast asian nations that has territorial claims disputes with china it's the only one of those five countries that has this consistently spoken out against china and even if you accept the fact
5:13 pm
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 it here and 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 breeze 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 was theme as a stepping stone to becoming the communist party chief and thus the nation's top leader. well ahead on c.n.n. we look at the potential impact of a visit by russia's top diplomat to bosnia weeks ahead of his general elections. plus the archaeological treasure in iraq that locals say is being treated more like a rubbish dump.

leaders of failing to provide better options for an amicable divorce. the president of vietnam has died at the age of sixty one the government says tran had been sick for several months he was one of vietnam's three most powerful leaders. global oil prices are up ahead of a meeting of opec leaders on sunday investors say other countries won't be able to fully cover the predicted shortfall of iranian oil once u.n. sanctions take hold ahead of the meeting in algeria u.s. president donald trump has tweeted that we protect the countries of the middle east they would not be safe for very long without us and yet they continue to push for higher and higher oil prices we will remember the opec monopoly must get prices down now are the organization and its allies are not expected to agree on increasing crude output the price of brant crude oil is close to four year highs
5:18 pm
trading at just under eighty dollars a barrel that's still well short of the peak of more than one hundred forty seven dollars back in two thousand and eight but there is growing pressure on opec to avoid a spike in prices when u.s. sanctions on iran come into force in november or many tech in is an international oil and energy consultant and former research at opec he joins us live now from london thanks so much for being with us let's start then with that treat leisure the tweet from from president trump is very directly calling on the opec nations led by saudi arabia to to do something to get oil prices down how are they likely to respond because saudi arabia particularly is is in a tough spot his here and they. yes it is tough or so in abia but i think overall the opec countries will keep their cohesion they have done it in the past in spite of differences that the media exaggerate between iran and saudi arabia for
5:19 pm
example and i think overall together and as well as an opec members russia who are in unison now i think they would react to this they're not happy definitely very upset by the tone of president. from. comments ordering this so that i think as a reaction they were trying not to my guess is not the meeting but the actual opec meeting not to concrete just because they are being pushed by president tom but that is a personal view over all this meeting really is not to decide the level this meeting is the joint ministerial monitoring committee and they are going to look at the status of the order market supply demand and the outlook for the next few months and it is the opec meeting the full meeting cut the conference in early december that will decide nevertheless the ministers meeting with the russian minister and others from opec they will talk together frankly and they decide they
5:20 pm
will decide what to do so. i think they mean that the options are to to expand or those with the option to increase production to replace for the iranian the loss of iranian crude yes or no and whether they're when they do that what country should do that over all each member of opec or should they distribute have a different coat these are the details which i think they were trying to avoid and not going into. but there is a views well that says part of the reason that oil prices be going up lately is because it is a direct result of the u.s. decision to walk away from the iran nuclear deal which is taking that iranian oil out of out of much of the market in the sense that this is this is a problem of president trump's own doing. exactly i didn't mention this
5:21 pm
i thought you had already referred to it briefly the iranian oil exports are about to enter the house million barrels per day or had been in spring by the pressure as the united states is putting on iran on the customers of iranian oil forcing them and threatening them not to boil and buy any more oil from it on especially from november and there would be there is already a reduction in oil exports from you know on our way about half a million barrels per day and if these purchases these customers take this threat to the united states small or seriously there would be even fair their loss no one knows how much on how would they obey the us or the. like india and china and others so maximo i think people think the most negative pessimistic one would be and know that a million barrel per day loss in iranian explores it is this that the ministers are no negotiating with each other to see what they should do and i think they are judging among themselves whether the customers are going in oil would be forced to
5:22 pm
do that or as the discussions are a president trying might give a so-called ravers to some of these countries like india to be able to continue importing more or continue to import oil from your own whether they or issue stop it there are these unknown's to ministers discussed but of course this money third in committee did look at the fundamentals of the actual numbers as they come prions of the olympic an opec members in the last few months how they have to form the outlook for maize this year has taken called discussion but on top of it of course there is always politics and the question that you days and i mention all of the unknown is that they have to think what is the possibility they discuss they consult each other and then they pass the results to the other or in ministers whom we will have an all there meeting later on their worst case scenario might be that instead of december they might to have that is open to full all pick not opec
5:23 pm
meeting to have an extraordinary general meeting and that remains to be seen good to speak with you manish air attack in that joining us there from london thank you . russian foreign minister sergei lavrov is visiting bosnia and herzegovina and it's republican serbska that's the so dominated semi autonomous region the trip comes just a few weeks ahead of elections there lavrov is emphasizing russian links to bosnia sir population it has three presidents with equal powers one serve one crowd and one bosniak and it's designed to defuse ethnic tensions there. is live for us in. so what can we expect from this visit from the russian foreign minister . while all sergey lavrov has arrived when you look at just a few minutes ago and immediately we were told to come here to the. government
