al jazeera world takes a road trip across spain. spanish, people love to tell you who they are and where they come from. and i am no exception. one woman's journey seeking her heritage and of covering new insights into christian spans of muslim origin. it's a story that seems to have been her brush from history in search of my roots on al jazeera ah 2. ah. hello imo matheson, this is the news i live from dover coming up in the next 60 minutes. greeks take to the streets of the capital,
1:01 pm
venting their anger over the government's failings following last week's deadly trained collision. o. protest against italy's cracked arnold migrants is hundreds of rescued from the mediterranean crisis, grips the b, b. c. the you case public broadcasters to cancels or shows in a deepening ro about impartiality. and we look at the plight of somali refugees and kenyatta, reese giving violence and severe drugs. and in for carlos al qaeda is on track to attend to the top of the well tennis ranking, spanish teenagers aiming to win the indian wells title for the 1st time. and he say, ah, greece is gearing up for another day of protests, thousands of people living, demonstrating across the country for more than a week off to
1:02 pm
a train accident that killed 57 people. labor unions and students have joined the protests outside parliament. the demonstrators have been demanding action to fix the countries neglected railways. the government issued an apology after widens his protest, saw tens of thousands of people rally. we're going to go live now to athens and, and john serrato las john, i'm it, greece is heading towards an election. this is the 3rd largest protest since the acts. and what do we expect to see today? and what is the political ramifications of this? ah rob, as you say, this is the 3rd nation wide protest day since the accident and there's a 4th one scheduled for thursday this week. a 2nd general strike that is expected to bring the country to a standstill. it's clear that there is some political opportunism here, largely opposition left wing parties taking advantage of the anger that does exist
1:03 pm
over this trend accident to bring the country full swing into a pre election cycle here. elections are not expected until sometime between april and june. but i think we can safely say we are now fully in that 3 election period and opinion polls are not in the government's favor at the moment. the 1st i pulls out a day since the accident on february 28th show that the ruling, conservative new democracy has losses between 3 and about 4 and a half percentage points of its support. so it is now just shy of 30 percent of the popular vote. that's not enough to give it a one party government in the next parliament or, or, or even possibly off for a snap election off to that. so i think it is by far the biggest challenge, the government has traced bigger than the pandemic locked downs,
1:04 pm
bigger than the inflation crisis, created by the energy. the soaring energy cost during the ukraine war began even than a eavesdropping scandal that we've had here in greece. since november when it was discovered that this government spied on members of its own cabinets, the head of the armed forces, european parliament members and general is that was when new democracy began to lose control of the political narrative. this is much worse, rob john. we mentioned before that the government has ation an apology. we understand, of course the investigation is going on and yet greeks are still angry. what are the angry about? ah, i think that again, the opinion polls give you a clue as to that as to whether people are convinced by the argument that the station master of ladies. so station where the train 62 that collided with a freight train. 15 minutes later,
1:05 pm
left on the night of february 28th and was put on the wrong track and was put on that collision caused by the station master. he says by accident, people are asked if they are convinced by the argument that he is the real cause of this terrible event. only 12 percent say that they think that's the main pause. 87 percent of people pulled us saying that there are deeper causes that have to be investigated, which suggests possibly organizational difficulties within the state run atlantic railways organization which runs the track infrastructure, possibly political responsibilities within the government and the state. but i think that i think that you can safely say this event has caused a type of anger we've not seen before. in the 4 years of new democracies rule. i think my sense of it is it takes us back to the eurozone crisis of 2012,
1:06 pm
2013. that's the kind of mood i'm sensing here, these past couple of weeks, as john isabella's bringing this up to date from athens. john, thank you very much. indeed. the italian coast guard has rescued more than 1300 migrants and refugees in the mediterranean sea, though, crammed into 3 boats. italy's government wants to curb the growing number of arrivals, but it's under pressure to intervene and save my goods. monica been what separate reports a race to rescue hundreds of migrants into mediterranean. the italian navy and coast guard launched an operation to reach 3 boats of south of calabria. they pulled those on board to safety and take them to italian ports. there among 5000 migrants and refugees to reach italy since wednesday rescue. se the numbers are overwhelming. the chase, especially in the central mediterranean sea route, and this just covering its absolutely caustic, especially in a couple of days of our song, the seo tool we for example,
1:07 pm
with this 90 and the stress cases on the end of march. another 41 on the 9th of march in 6 yesterday. and we also witness to show one in front of to meet with these 40 in strong and another one. and number 2 is one room, and that's drawn last month, another boat washed up on a beach in the calabria region, at least $76.00 people were killed in that accident. the victims include a young girl whose body was only discovered on saturday. february's shipwreck has angered the local community. thousands protested on saturday against the government . they accused of failing to intervene and save migrants. they say prime minister georgia maloney's plan to crack down on human traffickers is not the answer. once, as long as we are in control to demonstrate for these victims and for all the victims of the sea, i hope this stops them. it is necessary to face that migrant
1:08 pm
issue with the creation of secure and legal channels. because hardening the sentences of smugglers will not stop this phenomena. meanwhile, facilities to process migrants and refugees are at breaking point. italy's defense ministry says it's break into transfer. thousands of people from the island of lamp reduced to the mainland. official say more than 17000 people have arrived by sea this year alone. that's almost 3 times the number for the same period last year and with some are approaching. that number is expected to grow. malibu mud, separate al jazeera criticism is mounting over racial attacks against black africans into nicea president. hi said is accused of sparking the violence by claiming that was what he's calling a criminal plot to change the country's demographics to irregular migration. now many refugees and migrant say they want to leave off, you know, hobbies got this report from to this. he had the been

a if you have the building is incomplete, but sudanese refugees have found temporary shelter here. the conditions are harsh and they lack the very basics to survive. now they also live in fear, since president case sides, february statement that accused subsaharan africans of taking part in a plot to change to his demographics about what the lay of the following the decision that has been issued. in recent days, we stopped working and we no longer know where to go and them to run much of the woman. but most of these refugees have lost their jobs. and some of them said that they were subjected to attack. they came to the headquarters of the un refugee agency to ask for protection and resettlement. others gathered in front of the ivory coast embassy in the capital tunis, attempting to get return tickets to their countries. the best one, they are racist people who do not want to see africans here. and for them, he does not matter if you are a student with residency documents or not. they do not deal with us as a human beings, but see us as
1:10 pm
a masters full of forest presidents. i had denied accusations of racism and now it's measures to protect african refugees. so doesn't look that wants to compensate there in another world. what happened was a misunderstanding that i could describe as not innocent. the important thing is to respect the chinese, he in law. these are brothers. i reiterate, they are brothers. so what are they talking about with this campaign? the many asians express solidarity with refugees rejecting offensive statements or actions against them by beaming what may be led in but until they are angry that their government is being accused of racism. but also feel ashamed of the violence and hope the crises will not spoil tunisia or undermine its values. any more head on the knees are including the winter storm, battering the u. s. west coast, severe flooding and huge snow falls, had california young fighters from me and mar who lost limbs battling the military, refuse to lead their injuries. stop them at manchester city,

1:12 pm
but much less power to the courts. it proposes giving the israeli parliament weaknesses the ability to override supreme court decisions with a simple majority of $61.00 votes. low politicians to choose which judges to appoint countries, judges the selected by an independent panel. the changes would also remove the supreme court's ability to review the legality of what's known as israel's basic laws, which function as the countries constitution president, as a head sock has vocally opposed, the changes in the plan is pushing israel to be. as he put it, verge of legal and social collapse, your c metal bug is an associate fellow chatham, how specializing in middle eastern israeli politics. and he says the protests are growing despite the government's attempts to crack down and dissent. it's not, it's sometimes you see in this kind of demonstration and paul test that it's a good angel. you fades away, the opposite is happening them all. the government is trying to push the very what
1:13 pm
they called legislation tradition, the foam which is more than constitution bundle is all the more people in the states and the mo, the police is using force against them. the more they actually didn't understand the checks and balances a democracy is killed by the story. but is the government, the less nice would be going to be what it, what, what we see right now is the result of me still national security on the very i can use them. and he told the police all that the, that the news opinion down to source on the test. so the reality, i think the last few weeks we saw more, well, he's bargains, but i think actually this weekend, it seems that the police understand that if they been to the minister, it only lead to a disaster. serious state news agency says the army is intercepted, several missiles launched by israel targeting sites in the northwest. 3 syrian
