to destroy ukrainian energy infrastructure. and there's another huge semi final coming up in the paper world cup with morocco taking on franz. ah, welcome to the program. we begin off the coast of england, where 43 migrants attempting to cross the channel, had been rescued from cold waters. their boat capsized in the channel, at least 4 others are confirmed. dead. 30 of those rescued were plucked from the water, the international organization for migration estimates, the 205 migrants have been recorded as missing in the channels since 2014. the capsizing of the migrant boat was addressed in the u. k. parliament during the prime ministers questions he is. what was she sooner had to say this is because i'm

sure the whole house will show my sorrow, the cap sizing of a small boat in the channel in the early hours of this morning. and the tragic loss of human life hearts go out. all those affected and tribute to those involved in the extensive rescue operation. and angie simmons has more now from diver where whiskey boats went to point conditions were absolutely terrible of the temperature of the water, the biggest problem, sub 0 temperatures. there is a cold snap. in the u. k. and france right now, very cold indeed, but the people traffickers, find some of these conditions are deal at, apply that right because they were calm waters overnight. but early on wednesday morning at this shit, this boat got into difficulties. and well, i've seen it over here before this lifeboat station in dover. but body bags went out, returned with 4 bodies. and of course they brought more a survivors, the dead. and that is quite a remarkable situation because

a 30 of others migrants actually went into the water. so they were recovered very quickly and not just by the rescue teams, but also by fishermen. in fact, the fishermen were 1st on the sea. and so what you have now is yet another tragedy in what is a mounting problem for the french, but particularly the british, because the french are able to stop the people traffickers from letting these people get on, boats pay their money and then go across, risking their lives this isn't the 1st. it certainly will be the last. according take your hand sentence to is temples man to seize in 7 months in prison for insulting public officials. it has imposed a political ban on akram immuno lou, who is seen as a k, a pilot to take his president major tampa. edwin sent him because he only joins us

live now from east campbell, with developmental center. what happened in court today? well, the court to some ideas, as you said 2 years and 7 months of jail sentence for a stumbled mayor, a crummy mold in mo, mo lou one assembled mayor's seat a couple of years ago. and at that time, the difference between de governments, candidates, and him was around a less than $100000.00 votes. but the government insisted, and the higher electoral board decided for a re run of the elections, which came up with 8 more than $800000.00 of votes that brought assemble mayor's a seat. so at that time we heard it coming mo mo lou calling be hired alex to we're editorial board members as it is. and now this is the reason why the case was open against him. but however, today, no one was expecting a verdict and,

and many people who even are against they come in the wall lou were not expecting the sentence. so according to the situation, and the court is a go, it will and need to issue a written averting, which is the final judgment of a justified judgment in a week. and then at the fence, a claim in mo, mo lou has the right to reject this decision. and then at the case goes to the court of appeals. and the final decision is going to be given by the court of appeals. a, even when it, when the case reaches there, there are 3 options at the court of appeals may either approve a hold of the verdict or it's can a reverse the verdict or as a 3rd option, a can decide for a different word, dick. but in this case, we expect exam in mammal loo. uh, even though he is not going to be spending a night in jail, he's not going to serve

a jail sentence. a he will be banned from politics, which will ban him from joining elections. mayoral elections in 2024 and removing his membership from the main opposition party. okay, so as you mentioned there, there's certainly some legal avenues he can pursue. tell us a little bit more about the political implications because as we mentioned, the trial has been criticized as a moved to eliminate him as he is a key opponent of president her to want world. definitely exactly. mom. all the was a district may are becoming a mayor of is stumble again. he comes from a conservative background, but he became that a candidate o the main opposition party, a similar profile to ruling act parties and members or candidates, let me say. but as it election, it was a re done in 2019 a. he became

a victim because he was elected by stumbling. but as the government insisted, a part to insisted, and the electoral board decided on behalf of government governments will. and then there was another election which brought him even a bigger victory, that made acreage mom, although a hero and says circus present judge if they are done, he was also the mayor of is stumble in late nineties, then just because he recited a poem at the back then, the court decided that this was against the secular state, and he stayed in prison for 6 months. and that was his adventure becoming at the key political figure in turkish politics or before he became a prime minister. that time the legal pupil, the lawyers said, the court said that he won't even be able to become a local hat, but he became the prime minister and he became a president. so now many since the profiles of these 2 people at graham immemorial

and allergic to bardon are similar to each other coming from conservative background, a being able to speak to all segments of the turkey society, which is highly conservative. or it many people think that he can be of a he can be the next president. so is some argue that this decision is going to a create a new victim of a cram immemorial, who was also again a victimized during a 2019 mayor elections. and it will away for him to become the next president. but on the other hand, i've been speaking to some pupil close to the rolling off party, even though they are against a crumb your mom all. or let's say opponents of him. they say this will not serve turkish present treasure, fire don, because as he receives a pull to cold bed, he may not be able to become a presidential candidate. and during a presidential election, which is coming up in june 2023. so many argued that the

aim is to ban him from the elections are right. we appreciate the updates in him because he only live for us there in the sample. moving on now, russia has launched a new wave that strikes own ukraine's capital. explosions rang out just before dawn in cave. official say to administrative buildings were damaged, but a defense is shot down. 13 rush and drones preventing further distraction or a challenge reports from key. it looks bad, of course, but it could have been so much worse. thankfully, no one was underneath the drone when it was shot down and crashed into this key of building early on wednesday morning. svetlana cleared up the damage at her father's flat, just across the way. i started to good morning cuz we are alive and visit the does laugh at, can the removed and a place? it's not a big deal. it's a stoicism born of experience. for months. russia has targeted ukraine,

cities and power infrastructure. that stoicism does not mean apathy. it just makes us that it was angry, angry. this time the attack was a failure operator lays on preliminary information. all 13 drones will shut down by ukrainian air defense mold. well done, i'm proud of you. here. citizens. we are grateful to the air defense. oh. and don't ignore the sirens. but previous drawing strikes, particularly when paired with cruise missiles will be more successful. since mid october, russia has damaged every one of ukraine's thermal power plants. and the russian strain of choice is this. they call them guarantee. but despite russia and iran's denials there, why be believe to be the iranian made, shar had 136, and it's smaller version the 131 try earth out a 0 was given rare access to recovered examples being studied by ukraine's military

intelligence. those same with below, think them some additional said yes. these you event, as the more damage to us, because russia uses him, most of them is the water is 50 killer out and they were head of 121 is 20, almost to leave, not keeping his real identity secret. rational told me what's inside them. despite the drones assumed iranian origins, almost all the components of foreign, some or even ukrainian talisman canada. this is kind of the 1st canada. so that's interesting because it shows that despite being on the sanctions, iran is still managing to get hold of components like this. some suggest rushes use of imported drones, means it has diminishing stocks of its own precision missiles. but he crane knows it can't be complacence. despite the destruction, you see here it was a lucky day for key if 100 percent of the drain shut down, no deaths and no injuries. but he's to say the next time this happens, they'll be so fortunate and that's why the crane is making better ad offense. one
