the world health organization warns them more than half a 1000000 people could die. left off, felton died, and dar nasa launches a test mission that could one day save the planet. a spacecraft will crash into an asteroid to find out how to stop one plummeting into earth. in small at the latest action from the european champions league, i went into milan against shackleton. yes. as knew them to the brink of a place in the knockout ah, at least 31 people have died after their small boat sank while trying to cross the english channel from france. several robert ding ease set off from cali on wednesday in the hope of reaching the u. kay's southern shores. local officials say

this could be the most deadly incident involving migrants and refugees attempting that crossing the dba reports. well, i wouldn't know. do you pay good, regular, sorry, on the french coast even as winter sets in refugees and migrants determined to reach britain. and now a reminder of the dangers they face. news that so many people have died at sea after setting off from cali on wednesday night. the french interior minister arrived there to meet local officials and hospital workers. when the look of a saucer plant was desson. as far as we know, 33 people capsized off dunkirk and kelly. as of now 31 people died and 2 people are currently being treated, but their lives are unfortunately in danger. among these 31 dead, we know that there were 5 women and one little girl. for now, we don't have any more information on the identities of these people. french prime minister john cast text tweeted, the shipwreck in the english channel is

a tragedy. my thoughts are with the many missing injured victims of criminal smugglers who exploit their distress and misery. while the british prime minister called an emergency meeting in london, 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 were sending people to see or in this way i say, to our partners or 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. these people did make it to the english coast on wednesday after being picked up by volunteers from the royal national life boat institution. there among the roughly 25000 people who've crossed from france this year, 3 times last year's figure. but and still receives far fewer asylum claims than

countries such as germany or france. but the government currently introducing legislation which would penalize asylum seekers who use so called illegal roots like crossing the channel rights groups. point out legal routes are inaccessible for most and in reality, given how desperate these people are to reach the u. k. more tragedies can't be rolled out. the dean barbara al jazeera of bella sanky is the director of the tension. actually she joins us live now from brighton on britain's at south coast by sky platinum. thank you for joining us here on al jazeera. 6 awful news, or 31 that people dead a so far the single worse the loss of life since about 2018 this particular as stretch of water. what is your reaction to it? is se horrifying and sick, nay. and heartbreaking that so many people have died on the case doorstep, say including men, women,

and children. and there have been many deaths in the channel this year. but as he said, this is one of the largest contacts of asylum seekers. the i am that i know of and, and can remember. and it was entirely predictable, completely avoidable. very sadly. we have a government in the u. k. that is absolutely what is he a failing policy or a ever greater exclusion of people. they're seeking protection in the k at whatever the consequences mean, right now, written in there in france, effectively blame each other for the situation. britain saying that france had agreed that the spot more people in isn't doing so. friends saying that britain should be more responsible for the fact that it's attracting, or that it is an unattractive place for people to come to or try to come to what do you think needs to happen politically to try to find some kind of solution the

asset to ensure that people are not risking their lives and dying, as we've seen today, is to provide humanitarian basis the people that are in france seeking to come to the u. k. to claim asylum or some sort of humanitarian corridor, that would be relatively easy today. and frankly, k governments could agree that between themselves, i have a 9 to ensure that as of tomorrow, the full way crossings are not happening to people smugglers on are positing and people are not dying. at the moment, there is no political will to do that. and i think the government in the k, at least is banking on the fact that people do not care enough about the tragedy and the situation that is unfolding in northern france. so they can get away with more of these files policies. but i think that people in the u. k. will be as a horrified by what's happened today. i think people are getting increasingly concerned about the chaos that we're with the same day and day out in the channel

and the dangerous crossings that now become a day occurrence. i think that the government would be really wise to take action and see agree, i really prescott unworkable solution as soon as possible the u. k. and france together, incredibly wealthy countries. we can very easily so town this problem all that's required is political will. and it's really important to point out that it's not that there are a very large number of people seeking to make this journey. in fact, the u. k. except today, just under 30000 to 5 cations last year, assignment patients have been calling in the early 2, thousands. we had around 80000 asylum seekers. k. yes. say the crossings have become more visible. people are more aware of the issue, but it's not that there are suddenly numbers that we're not able to cope with. we

possible to allow safe passage and to receive people in a, in a safe and consider a manner i suppose when we talk about the absence of legal ruth's, that we are mainly talking about applying for asylum. now, you could argue that some economic migrants are pushed, you know, that they have to leave that, that, that they, it's almost an asylum application. if they come from a place where economically they can't sustain themselves, but it isn't considered as such. so do you think that even if there would be a legal route for many people who have valid claims for asylum to apply for them? do you think that would solve the problem? or would we still see economy migrants, for example, who would still want to come to france and the u. k. the idea that the people that are in northern france and seeking to come to the economic migrants is just a mess that has been perpetuated by this government in the face of the evidence. so the home office produces statistics on the nationalities of people that are arriving. these are people from iran, from afghanistan and syria,

from countries where we know huge depression and persecution is going on. and the vast majority of people from those countries will have their asylum claims expected, either initially or an appeal. se 90 percent of the people that have made the costing in the last year have claimed to sign in and the majority of buyers will go on to see protection and be considered to be genuine. refugees. they have a very, very boston to testing people, which many would argue is inhumane in itself. but you know, the idea that these are not genuine asylum seekers is really just a mess that has been cut out. and it completely last evidence. my organization was the people that have made this crossing. we support people that have been detained, having been a payoff when they arrive in the u. k. and so we have 1st time the testimony in the stories of people that have arrived. these people that have fled torture,

more than slavery, sexual violence. some of the most horrifying experiences that i think anyone can possibly imagine. it's actually very traumatizing, some of our case workers to hear the experiences that people have had, who have made this journey say that must not be forgotten. that was not the down place. and it's really sad to see government trying to distract and pretend that these are not people deserving of our care and protection. bella sanky, director of the pension action, joining us from bryce in britain, south coast. madam, thank you. 3 white men have been found guilty of murdering a mode. our brewery, who was chased down and shot dead in a georgia neighborhood last year, greg mc, michael was found guilty on all charges, including malice, murder, his father, travis, was found guilty of felony murder, a 3rd man who joined the chase and actually filmed the killing william bryan was also found guilty of felony murder. they pursued the 25 year old black man who was

out joking with their truck. all 3 men claimed that they acted in self defense. they all now face life in prison. and letting them know that a lot of dog mauling will all live mount is not good, but i don't, we don't want to know that are going to do. i will want to know that, why did it live to talk now like that? so if all of our problem is all our problem, so hey, that's why, let's get jordan a lesson this play for about a play for all you will be it. will she ever since he joins us live now from brunswick in georgia? she of the jury came out to the verdict relatively quickly. how significant are the, are these verdicts we got a sense of how much was at stake in this case when ben crump was just a few hours before the voting was given. what we mean of these men are acquitted.

ben crump is the country's leading civil rights attorney. he's had a way to so much grisly evidence of brutality. he was the, the, the attorney for george floyd's family. george lloyd died ultra police always a kneeled on his neck for now and a half minutes, but he always seemed to break down at the very idea that these men would walk free just looked into the distance and said, it would mean that we simply can't protect our children as black people, we can protect up that i mean nothing has changed since jim crow when there was over a segregation, especially here in the deep south and white people thought they could do whatever they want to. they could chase chase after black people and lynched and killed them and the state would protect them. so this time that does not happen that the system seems to work. but there are no illusions because we always have to remember that after i would operate died and the police arrived at the prosecutors took a look at the case, very accepted. these men's arguments that they had every rights to see a black man jogging through the neighborhood, give chase with the shot gun and gun,

and then kill him eventually. and as far as the police and to prosecutors were concerned, that was fine. it was, you know, he was probably was up to no good anatomy was when the video merge 2 months afterwards. and it made lots of grassroots pressure that the state of georgia intervened and we got to the court case. so there are no illusions about this. and she of, you mentioned the george floyd case a little earlier, and of course that attracted national and international attention. what about this case and these verdicts? what's the reaction been there nationally and locally? i mean, there is that, i mean it's always a phenomenon that we've been seeing was also the george floyd guilty verdict down here that enormous jubilation and relief for that enormous wariness as well. this just doesn't mean that systemic racism has been vanquished, vanquished in america, but it has to be noted and that has been noted nationally and locally that we are

in the deep south. this was a jury of levered white people and one black person. and look it up quickly. they came to that that you know, animas unanimous decision. i think that that's something that was reflected on. the reverend al sharpton and other civil rights leader had to say lead to word go for the all over the world that are jury of 11 white and one black from out in the beach out. good up in the court room. red black lad do met the 3 man, i'll go to appeal this digital end up at the the georgia superior and the supreme court and that, but they do face other charges to there is a federal federal hate crimes against against these men about that process. because in february, at the same court house probably, and it is look, it looks like that will still go ahead despite the fact that these men at the moment are facing life life in prison with of course they might decide that they

will, will do a plea deal or something and avoid yes, another court case, given georgia law does say it, assuming the supreme court upholds, holds these, this verdict with these metix they will. yeah. they do have to have managed life life in prison, although it depends on the judge whether they might might, maybe may, it may make it pro sheer brit hansi with the latest f in brunswick in georgia who's been following the trial. she had thank you. still to come on the news, our ethiopia prime minister says he's heading to the front line of the t grey conflict as rebels advance on the capital. poland and bella roost are both accused of seriously abusing refugees and migrants on their border. and in sport, world cup winner karima ban, zima gets a one year suspended prison sentence for conspiring to blackmail. a fellow footballer andy will have that in mind. ah,

the world health organization is warning that more than half a 1000000 more europeans could die is a new corona, virus wave sweeps 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 that booster shots should be considered for all adults. and 2 summons reports from rotterdam. it's effectively a, you turn, the european union's public health urgency said booster jobs weren't urgent last september. they were only needed for the frail, all those with poor immune systems. now our advice has changed. countries should also consider a booster goals for all adults, 18 years and older, with a priority for people above 40 years old. this is to increase protection against infection due to waning 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 covert 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 europe. but the 3rd booster jab 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 that was audriel benefit ultimate go. today we're announcing 30000 covet cases of the last 24 hours. this 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 $335.00 deaths. and new infections are to record high that nitty 67000. the w h chose warning is that by march they'll be high or extreme stress in intensive care units. and that's in almost all the $53.00 countries that comprise it's your 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're increasingly got younger people in intensive care, the amount of time they're treated is slightly longer and it blocks in tentative 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 covey jobs will be compulsory for every one from february. the countries just returned to a full national motto. and it seems that other states could well follow. andrew simmons al jazeera rotterdam. so that's the situation in europe. south korea meanwhile, is reporting a record highs in the number of new cars in 19 cases and critically ill patients. hospitals across the country are now struggling to cope. the country east restrictions only last month with nearly 8 out of 10 people fully vaccinated or

instantly has more to south korean government east cove at 19 restrictions less than a month ago. but on wednesday, official say they may consider re imposing some rules. the number of new cases and seriously ill patients is rising across the country. daily infections reached a record $4100.00 on tuesday, and nearly 70 percent of beds in intensive care units are now occupied. arguing itching canyon's all a major factor that has contributed to the increasing number of cases. and that has made the hospital bed utilization rate a bit worse, is the increasing number of infections in the elderly senior citizens were the 1st to be na, collated earlier this year. and health officials say part of the reason infections are rising is because their immunity is waning. the government says it will give them booster shots. what the government is trying to do at this point is to our ext

an the deployment of booster shots, especially among the most vulnerable i as quickly as possible. there are increasing testing, especially in congregate residents. so all settings but just a nursing homes and our long term care facilities. officials are also conducting tests and trace operations. after more than $200.00 people tested positive for cove at 19, at a church in the city of china, a tributary there. one is all timesheet in the morning, the central disaster and safety countermeasure headquarters reported that around 91.4 percent of the confirmed cases from shannon were unvaccinated. the increase in infection so soon after restrictions when lifted will be a blow to many. but although the numbers rising, there's some relief that at about 35 a day, the number of deaths remains relatively low. florence louis al jazeera

questions to we know which ministries these parties are going to get. but we also know that when they are voted into office, that will effectively vote angular miracles, kristian, democrats out of office. they will metaphorically lick their wounds in opposition, but they also know that in the other house of parliament, they can really make difficulty for this particular government. so it's not all plain sailing for this new traffic light coalition as it's being cold, which in all likelihood will be voted in to office in the next 10 days or so. sweden's 1st female prime minister has resigned the 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. the green say there were only in power to implement the green policies which were voted down. the process is now in the hands of parliament speaker,
