well this is important my leg. then you lose the good this is going to have the money the french and british governments have spent millions of dollars for to find a port against people trying to stow away on lorries it's one theory why more people are turning to boats the migrants that launched themselves into the channel in rubber dinghies from here risk high seas strong currents freezing water and they risk collision in one of the world's busiest shipping lanes my colleague sonya guy a go picks up a story in dover. exhausted and freezing these people made a hazardous journey on the flimsiest of vessels rubber dinghies this latest sudden surge in numbers of those arriving like this has alerted british authorities to the dangers of a possible catastrophic accident in this stretch of water off the southern coast so much so that the british home secretary is now treating this as a major incident on saturday the immigration minister went to the town of dover to

meet border offices they say it has been difficult to keep up with the numbers of people who have arrived in these circumstances and what they need is help to effectively patrol the area and closer working relations with officials across the channel in france what we're doing is constantly reviewing the resources that we need continuing the really important with the french and it's absolutely critical that we share information at the highest on the most effective level because of course what we want to do is to make sure that people don't set sail across the channel make a really perilous journey that a treacherous time of the year it may only be a fifty kilometer journey between kalai and dover but the english channel is also one of the world's busiest shipping lanes and while some politicians hid in britain have called for more patrols the concern is is that this will merely encourage others to come and make that dangerous journey. the latest route shows how despite

the dangers many are desperate enough to risk everything to make it here and to escape the difficult conditions in makeshift camps in france but even if they make it here there is no guarantee that they can stay here sonny diagonal al-jazeera job . now the growing pay gap between executives and the average worker is the target of new regulations coming into force in britain from jan or the first u.k. listed companies will have to monitor reveal and justify the difference in salaries between the boardroom and the shop floor poor but in reports from london as part of our series looking into new laws for twenty one thousand. glass and metal towers of london's financial district symbolize the success and sometimes excess of britain's top companies while enforced public austerity has kept a lid on the average working wage the eye watering salaries and extraordinary bonuses of the top u.k. bosses have sparked outrage in twenty seventeen alone the salary of top bosses

with the vast caps that have become increasingly complex in recent years the new pay ratio regulations should strengthen shareholders ability to block excessive deals and could shame companies into actually complying but u.k. boardrooms have shown themselves to be remarkably brazen despite public criticism and more may yet be needed in order to rein in the worst excesses paul brennan al-jazeera the city of london. time for another short break here not to zero when we come back boxing legend floyd mayweather is getting ready to take on a new challenge and he is here with that story and all this for more of that stay with us.

investigated by the election commission following accusations of vote rigging well bangladesh media puts the number of dead much higher than the reported government figure of eighteen the deaths occurred during deadly clashes between supporters and opponents of the country's ruling party. people love being people living there is good candidates have been arrested and one. president. would not be. able to. even a bad man i could not think bangladesh after forty seven i would have. well promise to shake a scene and seeking a third consecutive term in office a main rival the former prime minister has been jailed for corruption as party has accused the government of arresting and killing opposition activists but the prime minister is blaming the opposition for the latest violence. but that's not that much money lost. members.

in. the tourism party. and. i'm not sure. that has more now from the capital dhaka. the election commission saying they're going to investigate these allegations made. by the opposition party certainly at the polling station we were at today we heard similar allegations or allegations made by coaches that were there to cast their ballots and interestingly by a team of opposition mona says that were there to witness look over the voting process and essentially vitally counts the votes at the end of the day they said that their i.d.'s were confiscated and they were scratch and and forced to leave

the polling station by members or supporters they said of the awami league so i suppose it should not be surprising that there are these allegations being made of vote rigging or certainly foul play at least forty seven opposition candidates said that they have pulled out of the racially called out of the race today all because of vote rigging and polls in the democratic republic of congo are closing in less than an hour the vote was supposed to be held more than two years ago but was continuously delayed by president joseph kabila my only concern is that we have this very heavy rain. and over the border town now it might be wrong but hopefully best very clear in the time out and when but when you see pretty soon i think that they don't believe anything the man because of. her time we tend to discredit their actions aphelion fair and new or different if you

can say. well there are three main candidates emanuel said arias could be the chosen successor the largest opposition party put forward felix a caddy well martin for you news from a coalition called muka and he's calling on the election commission to ensure all registered voters can cast their ballots so. everybody has to watch those who have a lot of cards they have to vote and each is single polling station house to open and people are to vote we're monitoring it and we know that some here yes we're having problems so monday's everything is going peacefully now the people of. you know beneath the people of you me because full of good to. be doing will study their communities and you have to fit well the run up to election has seen violence and voting was postponed in three opposition strongholds

which sparked protests in the east of the country about one point three million people have been excluded from sunday's election and will have a chance again in three months time i mean all people in beni held their own unofficial vote well catherine sawyer joins us live now from the capital kinshasa with the latest catherine we understand you faced a security situation earlier at a polling booth what happened. well we are an opposition stronghold and the thing to ation in several stations is very tense indeed so we went to one of this polling stations where people there were very angry because those noble it is this was about an hour and a half so the voting hadn't said there was a huge contingent of police that's one of the most dangerous areas in the city but the police left so we had to leave we went to another polling station people are even angrier again you know. they got very aggressive.

threatening to be to destroy all saying that we walk for the electoral commission that many they do not trust that organization of all although saying that we were up for the state media we tried to convince them otherwise they wouldn't lift then so they chased the the way in this polling station where we are people here are voting but the process is very slow say that they confines their names on the voters register i've spoken to an observer who had said that perhaps the reason why this process is slow is because many people don't know how to use this controversial voting machine so that taking kind of the machine to understand the process before they vote but then just to remind you there are twenty one presidential candidate twenty one candidates on that ballot paper but the race really is between them. posters of politicians line almost every street in kinshasa the twenty one presidential candidates on the ballot but

three stands out. in my most a diary is a ruling party's candidate and outgoing president joseph kabila as passable choice he's critics say he's not suitable because he's and the european union sanctions and is not popular but he supports his aggy he's best placed for the post. different positions. the congress. the interest of the country interests of the people and. interests. this is. has been described as the accidental candidate who is little known outside and is nominated back. to prominent and popular politicians. and. who are excluded from the election are backing him i want to give dignity to. them and they have to have prosperity.

we have to work to me because i want to give. people every year we create at least five point one million jobs for people of color. is the leader of the largest opposition party. he's opponent inexperienced and only riding on the popularity of his late father the founder of the party. i have more political experience than some of my opponents i joined politics twenty five years ago and i started from the bottom i was chosen to lead the party grassroots and succeeded to where i am i am my father's son but also my own man. the candidates are promising much the same deal. makes the economy and corruption

provide the basics jobs education health care but an economic strategy to talk to some of those pledges are not realistic and maybe hard to implement we need to plan ahead this country we need to plan for the next thirty years at least we know that we'll be accumulating we don't need to flush out the results we don't need to. give it a color we need. transform the country election process has been counted and many people are not confident the poor will be created of but those we talked to say they would vote anyway if been waiting for two years for the opportunities so what happening in the rest of the country let me take you to benny this is one of the three areas in the east of the country where the election was in march because of the q e two we at the. pictures today are people going out to make a show with ballot boxes and ballot papers and then the mork. protest the election thing that they all thought. than daryn that this is

a huge country that is somewhat connected very poor infrastructure the getting information from many parts of the country is difficult and that's why i mean the country kate didn't bother the election. when earlier i spoke to the political analysts know and he explained why these elections a crucial for the future. congo is going to be a new country in two thousand and nineteen it's going to be a new country without his father and therefore directly with the he's in it back of the region the seven and me and so therefore by extension hopefully is going to be an opportunity for congolese to have a new president for the fast time in a decent way since independence when one of africa's most famous names but his. prime minister was assassinated i think whatever happens against all the bad runs are really really hope that. doesn't view of most africans across the globe that

mind is who is able to be a congolese a leader for all congolese peoples for the past time ever in the country's history an election in which there is a substantial difference disenfranchisement you can't really call it a free and fair election but i'm really talking about it within the context of the malays that we face on the continent and particularly in that country but anything fired out of this if they were to bring the country together then that is perhaps a step ahead that is really how low we are starting from because hardly fifteen years ago even going we did not meet other ability not know where they would find themselves in rwanda or company or really whether or not it would be overrun by nearly the fast what they call the fast african african world war time for a short break here not just europe when we come back. they made nazi salutes and shouted heil hitler sirrah of the far right the growing threat of extremists in germany. north korean leader kim jong un says his trip to seoul will happen just this year as planned.
