migrants and refugees attempting. the crossing. france says it's trying to prevent migrants from making the 30 kilometer journey made even more difficult. of course, in freezing winter temperatures, peter, whom is a freelance journalist based in paris. he says, this is one of the worst disasters in the english channel in recent years. the imperium in the french and tearing up to the north of the country along the coast. allies to my rescue efforts can be operated at this point in the west with the least attempt to attempt to cross the channel. i think one of the, one of the reasons at the end of the conclusion, i should say more in the middle east

coast. i have seen an influx of migrant back leaky world continues to play that richard play directly across from that part of the world into your eastern europe or directly for all that means we got so many micro trying to get into your course. i'm not africa as well. people go to the french official, tried to call the channel. about 2 thirds of them have, have achieved by a very, very fable and dangerous get more in the story now from our correspondent nadeem, a barber, who joins us live now in the studio in london. so let him one more reaction. do we have official reaction?

both from france, but also of course, from here in the u. k. who, barbara? clearly, both sides are shocked and saddened by these deaths. but there's been quite a noticeable convergence in the message just now. the french interior minister geral damina took questions from reporters in keller. he is at a hospital there and he said the search in the area is continuing, and he gave us some detail. he said that he believes that there were a 5 or women among those who drowned and at least one young girl. but as to responsibility, he was very hard. he said that it says in the 1st instance, those of criminal smugglers as well as countries he said, which were not pulling their weight in terms of stopping smugglers, who he linked to drug trafficking across the continent as well. not doing their part in stopping them from enabling people to travel from for example, the middle east, our prime minister boys johnson here in britain. similarly, he's called an emergency meeting or in the last few hours to react to what's

happened. he has also expressed sympathy, but also called on greater efforts to were to fight against the what they call people smugglers. let's have a listen. this disaster underscores how dangerous it is to cross the channel in this way. and it also shows how vital it is that we now step up our efforts to break the business model of the gangsters who are sending people to see or in this way i say to our, our partners are across the channel. now is the time for us all that to step up or to work together to do everything a we can to break these gangs who are literally getting away with murder and let him of the see these journeys have been a huge focus of attention here in the u. k. with the government often blaming the french actually for saying they're not doing an after the start them. but how common i these journeys themselves?

are we seem more we definitely a seeing more. there's been a rise, a noticeable rise in the last few months. now, one of the reasons is that it's become more difficult for refugees in migrants to get on to laurie's in ports like cali or more difficult than it was a few years ago. security's been stepped up, britain is supposedly paying france to take greater measures. gerard diamond on the interior minister there just in the last few minutes had said there needs to be more co operation between the countries and that on both sides. it's not good enough and that people smugglers are taking advantage of the disputes. but in britain, the political argument really is pushing the government to reduce those numbers they've. they've also increased because some legal routes have been shut down, for example, from syria and afghanistan. but the whole approach of the government right now is saying we have to break the, the, the business model of the people smugglers go after them. rights groups will council. well, they're only,

they only exist and they only demand those extortionate fees because there is no other way for desperate people who have legitimate reasons to get to the u. k. from trying to to do so. so it's not clear what is going to happen in response to this, but there has been an increase in of the rural increase. the french said that just to day 671 people was stopped on french breeches from crossing while. busy over $250.00 succeeded, that gives you an idea of the numbers involved there are people camped up and down the french coast even during the winter of silver. and the tragic news. of course, we've just heard of 33 people dying at in barba with the latest on that. thank you . now 3 white men have been found guilty of murdering our mode. our bri, who was chased down and shot dead in a ga neighbourhood last year. greg mac michael was found guilty on all charges including malice, murder, his father, travis, was found guilty of felony murder, and the 3rd man who joined the chase and filled the killing. william brian was also

found guilty of a felony. murder. they pursued the 25 year old black man who was out jogging it with their truck. or 3 men claimed that they acted in self defense. they all now face life in prison. she every fancy joins us live now from brunswick in a georgia chef. first of all, significant are the verdicts and how have they been received because, of course we, we got them quite quickly, didn't we? oh, yeah, and i think that's a really interesting sign, isn't it? no, 6 hours yesterday, by the same amount today. i think really, i mean that, that really was a long for 9 counts against 3 guys. 3 different people. maybe maybe things are changing merits of a jury of 11 white people and one black person. and so i think guess, i mean that that is, that is quite significant. although as always, we always have to remind ourselves that when aubrey was initially killed and the police arrived, they accepted the story of these 3 men that they saw

a suspicious black man who was up to no good. they chased him, he struggled, they shot him dead as an all right, fine. and nothing was done. the prosecutor didn't do anything. it was anyone cellphone video turned up, the things changed on that. and that, that said the charges were filed by the state of georgia against them. so that is also always remember how many times is there not any cellphone footage? as always. but yes, there was always as, as very much like in minneapolis, eddie this year when, when derrick chauvinist are guilty because of george floyd, that is, that mixture of enormous relief and surprise and joy. but it's that is, that is also that realism, again, because this is one case, this is a systemic problem. and why would you know what, why is this of skepticism when the prosecutor did have such a clear, strong case that i mean though, the fundamental, underlying principle being you can't claim self defense. if you see a man walking down the street or running down the street, in this case, you call,

then get into your pick up trucks with your guns chase him corner him. and then when he refuses to cooperate, shoot him dead. that just isn't allowed. and yet that was the defense case in that that, that, that it should be not even though yet. and that they said the regular citizens arrest madison him doing wrong. he just seemed like a source there who might have done something wrong. one of the defense lawyers said, this is a man. yeah, he's, he's on a victim. he was up to no good in and he was in his khaki shorts and it no socks which did the cover up is, is a, is, is long, dirty toenails. i mean, what was that? but she thought that was going to be effective, but it wasn't with this district, this jury of 11 white people and one black person in the deep south in georgia. so that is pretty significant. it seems though, we have to see though what sentences they get, they face 20 years. i would rather face life in prison, but it's about whether they get parole, which means they might have to serve 20 years. but it is an astonishing and astonishing verdict in some ways. and yet when you look at the evidence,

why isn't an astonishing verdict? that's always the question that it comes down to it. i remember we were talking, we were here for been crumply civil, civil rights, slow and mystery eminent civil rights law in the country and he was us. well, what would it mean if these men are aunt found guilty? and he just says, look, it just means we call protect our children. it is another side, yet another side of our little has changed since the jim crow air. and here in the u. s. when we had a system of apartheid effectively when the racism of segregation was overt and white, people felt they could do whatever they wanted against. black people i would be supported by the state will not in this case of least she the brit hansi with the latest on those for a day. in brunswick, georgia, she had thank to the world health organization is warning that more than half a 1000000 more europeans could die is a new corona, virus wave sweeps across the continent. several countries are seeing record, high case counts,

shortages of intensive care beds and renewed restrictions. the head of the european union's public health agency now says booster shots should be considered for all adults. andrew simmons reports from rotterdam. it's effectively a u. turn. the european union's public health agency said booster jobs weren't urgent last september. they were only needed for the frail all those with poor immune systems. now the advice has changed. countries should also consider a booster dose for all adults, 18 years and older. with a priority for people above 40 years old, this is to increase protection against infection, q to reigning immunity, which could potentially reduce the transmission in the population and prevent additional hospitalizations and deaths. the new advice comes as most countries in europe are seeing record rates of cov infections in the netherlands. this medical

center is having to transfer some patients to germany because of the pressure here in the netherlands. 84 percent of the population has been vaccinated. one of the highest rates in your but the 3rd booster job wasn't even introduced until last friday. that may at least partly explain why this country has recalled infection rates. in france, came this warning, which old real benefit ultimate go. today we're announcing 30000 covet cases of the last 24 hours is a major increase in infections that shows if it was needed in any way that we are indeed in the midst of a 5th wave of the pandemic level. across the european union, 67.7 percent of the population is fully vaccinated, but rates vary wildly between countries and the world health organization says there's growing evidence that protection against infection and mild disease is

declining. it wants a vaccine plus approach. combining vaccinations with measures such as face mask wearing daily cove related deaths across the you have reached nearly 4200 nearly double the level 2 months ago in germany. the latest 24 hour figure was 335 deaths and new infections are to record high at 9067000. the w h chose warning is that by march there will be high or extreme stress in intensive care units. and that's in almost all the $53.00 countries. the comprise it's york region at this hospital near cologne, like in many places, covered patients needing intensive care or mainly younger unvaccinated people. that if, if it sooner may, june over, we've increasingly got younger people in intensive care, the amount of time they're treated is slightly longer and it blocks into care beds

for longer period of which they're not available for the care of other patients. what's on on it? some german politicians are now advocating compulsory vaccination, at least for specific professions. austria's already announced cove jobs will be compulsory for every one from february. the countries just returned to a full national lockdown. and it seems that other states could well follow. andrew simmons, al jazeera rotterdam still to come here, allow jazeera poland and deliverance are both accused of seriously abusing refugees and migrants on their border. the dangers of cobalt mining in the democratic republic of congo. but a government safety push has some workers worried ah,

snow's back to make it rather more widespread appearance in year than it has done recently. it's been curly ground, the high ground of spain, but now it's coming down. i think from the next prophet of powder push in the north of you, we've had snow in norway and there's more to come. but you notice this wind here changes to a normally by time you get to friday, that drives cold air and stir across the high ground of scotland, england as well, possibly nor not. and, and that cold elementary pushed down towards the north of france. in fact, paris could see a little bit sleepy weather in the air. now this is a big circulation, but ahead of it, you'll notice the snow showing up in central you of that's because down the western met with circulating a lot of moisture and pushing it up north with the to come together with the mountains. so as we get only a little bit more snow in spite and significant might rain 1st in the south of france than in italy, it will be then this line that runs out through italy, doubts, and the tear. all both germany and austria were significant. snow is likely to fall

in spring, for example, i think we'll see 2 days of over casner weather and the sun try show itself on sunday. most of north africa is fine and drive is particularly warm in senegal and dance was northern gonna nearly a record. ah, a a

a move. ah, a reminder now of the top stories on al jazeera, at least 33 people have died after their small boat sank while trying to cross the english channel from france. officials say this could be the most deadly incident involving migrants attempting to cross. 3 white men have been found guilty of murdering ahmed or brain who was chased down and shot dead in a ga neighborhood. last year. all 3 men claimed that they acted in self defense. they all faced life in prison, and a deadly new wave of corona virus cases continues to sweep through europe. several countries are seen record, high case counts, and the e. u has made a u turn on, recommended booster shots in prime minister ibm. it says that

he's heading to the front line to lead his troops in battle as the fighting between the government and rebels escalates the rebels from t gr, i have pushed into the camera and the far region and down a major road running to the capital. i the sub about to cry and rivals took control of the towns of dessie and compulsion. earlier this month can vulture sits on a supply line linking the land locked nation to the port city of djibouti. last week, the rebels claim to have captured that show on robert, which is about 200 kilometer is from the capital journalist. some will get the true is following developments from the sofa. well, a to the spokesperson of the ethiopian government. they know for convocation services, you're not the seller of i said the prime ministers in the battle ground, giving leadership and really fighting for this or why? well, he said you're, there are many people that are joining the cold for the prime minister following in

his footsteps, including a loan p n. i like a russian lassie. successful businessman and i d, stuff us were last part of the enders who into mckinney at the just before the conflict begun seeing if this can be resolved in a more peaceful way. but again, the prime minister is indeed in the back of the ground. he said that on monday night, and i was expected to happen and there he is in the background fighting what he terms a terrorist organization. that's just the piano that's germany will have its 1st new leader since 2005 after leaders of 3 political parties agree to a coalition government. following 2 months of talks, all of schultz will take over his chancellor next month from angular merkel, who is stepping down after 16 years in charge. the social democrats wants september's election and will lead the coalition with the greens and free democrats

. it will be germany's 1st 3 way coalition government in nearly 70 years. now, sweden's 1st female prime minister has resigned just hours after she was confirmed by parliament. magdalena anderson was leading a minority coalition with the green party, but it quit when their new budget was rejected. or the green say that they were only in power to implement the green policies which were voted down. the process is now in the hands of parliament speaker, but anderson says she hopes to try again as the leader of a single party government human rights watch has accused bela bruce and poland of violating the rights of migrants and asylum seekers. the watchdog says it's documented abuses on both sides of the border. it's report says bela ruffian guards have carried out in humane acts towards migrants trying to cross into the you. meanwhile, polish security forces are accused of engaging and violent push backs. at least 13

people have died as a result of the harrowing conditions along the border. benjamin ward is with human rights watches, europe and central asia division. he says poland, bella, bruce and the you all have a duty of care towards the migrants. the iris is in the frame for criticism here because it has been subjecting migrants and asylum seekers to the most appalling abuse after encouraging them to come on on a false promise, trapping them in the border area, subjecting to violence, denying them access to food, water and shelter a small number, maybe in a shelter now, but there are many others who are not so that is all very, very troubling. but what is also deeply troubling is that we found clear evidence that poland is enabling this abuse by pushing people back in some, in some cases repeatedly who are trying to cross into poland, back into the hands of the declaration officials who are abusing them. and it's

also by denying humanitarian organizations access to the border area on the polish side, creating a situation where people are suffering and in some cases dying because they're not able to get the kind of life saving assistance that they need. and so we feel it's incredibly important that poland responsibility is given more attention, particularly by the european union. the announcement by the european commission of a whole package of measures to address the situation, all of which were focused on galleries. and in fact, if you were to read that, that package of measures, you would have no idea that poland was there any way of doing anything wrong. and in fact, the doing a lot of things wrong. and, and, you know, actually we ought to expect more from, from a european union member state, we ought to expect more from the european union, which is supposed to be a union of values rather than, you know, as cynical instrumentalists zation of the situation and saying that because this is, valerie says, you know, orchestrated threat and we only need to focus on that and we don't need to look at

our own responsibility for the suffering which is being experience. cobalt is one of the most sought after minerals in the world. it's used in batteries, the power, everything from electric cars to mobile phones, much of it comes from the democratic republic of congo. but as malcolm waive reports now from the co mine, and while of a province mining, there is dangerous work. these miners work at one of the largest informal cobalt mines in the democratic republic of congo. for the 1st time. some of them have been given safety jackets in hot hands and the manages planned to limit that number that things didn't go to plan. thousands of mine is one to work here. none of them can afford to miss a day's digging. there are a few jobs in congo, growing demand for electric vehicle batteries, for which cobalt is used in these men can earn about $4.00 a day. about

a face of the countries cobalt is extracted by hand and water known as his mines. most of them are legal. nobody counts the accidents and death. the government says he wants to formalize the sector and by cobalt. the government is going through the prize. the government is going through the production, the government as going through everything it has to be of there was, anyone can come in the country and do everything they want to do. the government says it will. new autism, mining sites, not care what will happen to the existing mind. also worried that we shut down for breaking rules. that's why they're providing hot half for the 1st time. we met the man who controls this mind at the hotel. he's building in the nearby city of co wavy. he says he's frustrated by the government plan called general cobalt

enterprise, or e d. c. c h e d c prioritizes creating a monopoly. it will be a problem for us. the priority is to formalize the artistic mining sector. we don't want to be blogs, you will continue selling minerals to those who actually finance or operate for them. i use it a board next, but that's not because i'm not back of mine. the shift is short. managers say they need more time to make faith pointing out the work. are there about $200000.00 for a little total amount of 1000000 depending on the number of people are getting very rich. when the coal mining industry, not the case was sold on the table here. so barely be paid anything for the shore shift. if to there's no idea we need order because we have too many.

i need to buy the people into the group. work on different days. were appealing for better conditions so we can work properly. none of us have a good position in life if we weren't here, we'd be stealing things in town to survive. many wondering if any reforms will actually happen and mine as a wondering if they'll make them safer or caught in that job. malcolm web al jazeera kalama mine democratic republic of congo, a world 1st, a space mission has lifted off from california, the nasa rock. it is on a test flight in order to make a crash landing. but if it does, it will be seen as a success in a way to stop a future asteroid from destroying the earth. yeah, it's not a movie real life. laura burton manley explains 321. the dance mission could one day say the earth, nasa would deliberately current a spacecraft into an unsuspecting rocker. could i move this?

the aim to find out what it would take to stop a launch asteroid from one day, crushing into the us and devastating the planet bill. we're gonna bump into a desk and off i call it kind of stadium sized in all like soccer stadium sized. asteroids that, that what that is in orbit around a body that is about 5 times larger. so that's what, that's what we're going to do. went than measure really did change of orbit. i forgot secondary body. it's the 1st time scientists are attempting such an experiment. and this is how they're going to do it. like a dime all the circles and asteroid cold did a mis nasa has waited for it to get close to earth. a mere 11000000 kilometers away, the spacecraft will reach speeds of more than 24000 kilometers per hour and head straight towards it. they're hoping the crash would take both objects out, of course, even if ever so slightly. and it will all be streamed by

a video back to earth. and that will tell us a lot about if you want to deviate completely as more, less throat from the earth, what type of spacecraft to what speed, what weight, what impact will need to have to deflect an asteroid sign to say the results of the experiment. all fine, so if an asteroid measuring just a few 100 meters collides with our planet, it could have devastating consequences. what they're really targeting our asteroids that could be like regional and destroyers like something that could have a huge impact and say, a certain part of the planet. so it's really important that we have a means to protect against those scientists hope the small impact would be a huge step forward to protecting a potentially devastating impact on earth lore about a manly al jazeera. i'm sure i've seen a film with a similar plot,

but if you wanna find out more about that story and everything related to it, go up to our website al jazeera dot com. you can see, oh, we've got a whole story there. and of course, other developments that from nasa dad to get the latest the own this a launching of a so called suicide spacecraft to kick a potential asteroid. of course, should it be heading to earth. ah, the reminder of the top stories on al jazeera, at least 33 people have died after their small boat sank while trying to cross the english channel from france. several rubber ding east settle from cali on wednesday in the hope of reaching the you case. southern shores, local officials say this could be the most deadly incident involving migrants and refugees attempting the crossing. this disaster underscore.
