many a save, but hundreds more. are figure dead, the hello there, i'm dealing with all this is allen to 0. live from london, also coming out. survivors call it the worst place on earth. a sedan conflict stokes ethnic divisions in dar for we speak to someone who fled to neighboring chat, waiting in the risk of post bi onto visual intelligence. you lawmakers adult draft tools demanding greater transparency and accountability. and israel's palm and votes on key parts of the government, the time to overhaul the judiciary. despite the hello there we begin in greece, where at least 78 people have dr. and off the southern coast in wolf's become one of your worst,

my grateful thinkings. hundreds more people are feared that there are estimates that up to 750 people were on board. the fishing vessel when it signed high winds of complicated the rescue operation was challenged against our coverage is unfair. how many people are on official vice when it capsized and sank? invoices of greece is southern coast. these were the survivors arriving at the ports of kinda monta independent, been east. some were strong enough to block off the ship to dry land. others couldn't make it down the gangplank might be in the mail to you guys to see me. i'm just wondering, as i said, it is indeed a tragic situation. very difficult situation with a very large number of shipwrecked people, a number that i think we've not faced in the past. i'm afraid that the number of victims will be high, because that was very many more people on board than should be allowed for this. but. and it's believed the over crowded. fishing bite was on its way from to brook and libya to italy. degree coast guard said its post office of help were repeatedly

rejected. as the hundreds of refugees in migrants on board wanted to reach attend invoices. the to the is often the preferred destination of the greeks toughen surveillance, that is migrant camps. it was in the as of wednesday morning that the boat capsized at a search and rescue operation began. but do a lot of the music we have transferred full of people from the airport to a boat, a it by helicopter attempts that by evidences to the hospital with a mild, called the family regarding the hub sites, always transferred 13 people. thankfully, no one in a critical condition was a greek shipping ministry. official said, most of the men were from egypt, syria and pack. it's done. they've been taken to a warehouse to recover and greece as presidents, catherine, a 2nd letter of hulu, came to visit them. they're off the 1st meeting, local officials, the u. n. says about a 1000 people have died or gone missing in the mediterranean this year. and this latest is the deadliest chip rack of greece in 2023. and among the worst in europe,

will reach heaven's houses here. well, john, several plus is live for us in color mazda. hi there, john. um, what do we know about how the best deal patients going? the at the moment the coast guard tells me the rest of the operation is ongoing and will be throughout the night. there's one coast guard patrol vessel out at the scene of where the of the libyan fishing trula sank. 47 know, 2 miles south west of where i'm standing on the west coast of the penalties. and there are also 6 merchant ships in the area, also searching for survivors. but as of half an hour ago, when i spoke to the operation center, i was told that there were no survivors who were on board those ships. i was at c

at the moment. so it is very much up in the web. it will have any improvements on the number of 104 survivors. that's just the official number being given by the coast code. 70 roughly, of those people in the warehouse, with floodlights behind me and a couple of dozen more hospitalized in the broader area around colorado where i'm standing. so it's, it's one of those situations where the search and rescue is open ended. there's, there's no estimates of when it's going to stop, i'm sure it's going to be going into the morning hours because there's always hope that with the don't light, somebody might be supposed to have. it hadn't been during the night. but it also appears that this sinking happens so quickly of the captain of the coast guard vessel who watched it happened and said that within 10 or 15 minutes, the boat was gone. that it is, uh, it is possible that the many,

many people who were on that boat didn't make it off. john, what are the details? you've described, some of them there from the, the point of the coal squad. but what more do we know right now about what actually happened or the coast guard says that they became aware of the presence of this vessel moving at speed towards instantly. do you know if across the mediterranean, um, around 11 am on local time on tuesday, they came into contact with a few hours later and sent a headache to helicopters and the coast guard vessel to remain in visual contacts with it. and throughout the day on tuesday, the coast guard was in touch with the operator of that boat via satellite phone, because god says, now the trouble began at 140 on wednesday morning local time

when the vessel operator, unless a degree coast code that has the engines had ceased to work, the boat was idled, and that was confirmed by the greek coast called vessels. it was sailing next to it . um, up until that time, the boat had requested no help. it simply wanted to reach entirely and shows it said. but at that point in the greek coast guard vessel came closer to the fishing vessel in order to offer help. and according to the captain's testimony of the coast guard vessel, the tally and the refugee failed. boat lurched very suddenly to starboard, then to port. and then again to starboard or so violently that it capsized and within 10 or 15 minutes was gone. and i think that's the point at which the search and rescue operation began, and whoever was pluck thousands of was of then was mostly i think on the top deck

of the boat. we have uh see we have seen similar things happen off the coast of crete. uh, for example, uh when a fishing trula out of egypt was rammed by a rifle, smuggling gang, and sank within minutes of only the people who are on the top deck survived. according to the testimony of 3 survivors that we spoke to on that occasion. so i suspect something very similar has happens here, but we'll, so are, these are still hopeful. tom saw place, they are live from color mazda in greystone. thank you. you've been sick to general antonio gutierrez says he's a poll by reports of violence in west and are for region l janina. the capital of west on for has seen some of the worst finance with some estimates of up to one families and people killed since mid april. as a bus robbie reports from andre a neighboring child. long running ethnic divisions have only deepened for some

a lot of those who've worked into are for, for decades. blame political neglect, a collapse of state authority. and previous governments who armed certain communities for their own political gain, the war and cartoon is a classic battle between 2 rival forces in a struggle for power in the 4 and especially in ocean. and it is much more excess central between communities. it goes to the struggle for land, for water, the use of natural resources, precious metals, and min minerals, refugee, c, o janina is the worst place in the world. would you give us a rough month as an african muscling leader? he says the city is home to dozens of tribes, but one is being single down and persecuted if you're seeing cartoon out of say, a 5 yourself. but in a junior, and i say if i, i've done this most edit, unblocked daily. who knows more than 50 people daily daily

a new president. legislators were unable to agree on a success. so to michelle, i own who stepped done last october. all the while the country's economic crisis continues, say the holder reports not from they were on the surface. this appears to be an exercise in democracy. but in less than on politics is conducted outside the halls of power. and without any deal, any chance to elect the president. and no one has the majority. so that's why we need to align sometimes to get better results. do you address a alliances have changed since the last vote in january? the main christian parties have put their differences aside and joined the wider opposition to back. she had as or if you had the. but it wasn't enough for the former finance minister to win in the 1st round. but fewer votes are needed in the 2nd round of voting, but the hezbollah elias walked out before that could be held. the village up,

they failed to notify us as a confrontation between those who wants to state and those who want to maine, stronger than the state of the yes, the movement for a change in leadership again years ago. but the traditional political class has held on to power. we have lost all hope in the school system, and i absolutely have no faith that that system is blamed for decades of corruption that led to the collapse of the economy. we have reached breaking point yet they won't elect the president. it seems the decision to paralyze the country is coming from abroad into florida. lebanon's political factions are tied to foreign powers whose rivalries are plays out here. 11 on could be facing an open ended crisis. if politicians don't come together and agree on a consensus, the country needs the president to be able to appoint a government to deal with the economies collapse. what the 12th of a tour of session has showed is that there won't be a president unless he is a candidates. that's why both sides are prepared to compromise on certain who their

owner is. eda, they lived, israel's parliament, has voted on a key pot. so if prime minister benjamin netanyahu has proposed judicial overall and peace elected an opposition member to a key panel that appoints judges, they rejected the candidate from that. now who's only could policy the proposed loss of spawns months of nationwide process. and the changes include giving the governing coalition more power to choose. supreme court judges with a marks has been following the vote in west jerusalem. one of the key elements of the judicial oval, whole, the prime minister benjamin netanyahu had been proposing for the last few months, involved the ability of the government to decide who should sit on a key committee that would decide judicial nominees for quotes, including israel, supreme court the test today, a key test in this vote inside the connection, it was whether the government would be able to push through to have its own candidates to sit on that committee despite weeks of compromise,

told for the position in which the opposition and hope that would not be the case. the consequences of the vote today were profound. it was a significant win for the opposition because one of the candidates has been now selected. 30th through with a narrow majority to sit on that committee. where was the only remaining candidate from the could party? all prime is nothing you all who was heavily voted against, meaning it will be a 2nd, but 30 days from now to decide which of the account that it can sit on that key committee. a big important day for the is ready to position though, because the possibility the government would have great to sway over supreme court nominees with vacancies in the months ahead. now significantly diminished the months out to 0, west jerusalem. the e u has moved one step closest to having the world's 1st slow regulating artificial intelligence. it aims to ensure that a i, systems a safe and ethical and the tech companies comply with rules. latasha butler reports from strasbourg, where they are being parliament voted to approve the

a. i act. so we both auto official intelligence is rapidly changing all lives, which is why you know makers say regulation is a central food thing and stressful m e p is approved in a i. bill. the once rectified by member states could become a landmark little by 2025, and it is adopted from destination. it took how many hours days and nights it was didn't take for your hard work. and for having found a balanced and human centered approach to the was 1st a i act legislation that's with no doubt be setting the global standard for us to come in the say a i can be a force for good in everything from fighting climate change to education, if the systems are safe and ethical under the proposed know that be categorized according to risk, the high, the risk, so more rules, but systems deemed to pose unacceptable. risks or co tail freedoms will be banned,

including facial recognition in real time, in public places. companies breaking the rules could be investigated on face penalties. there might be situations where there will be infringements that companies would not be either providing the necessary information or they would simply be the applications infringing, the rules under the text. and that's when the penalties could apply. and they range from taking the product off the market for everything certifications from the market. all the way to find is that can go to the 70 percent of the revenue of the respect. because a, i is developing some thoughts that has been challenging for the policy makers to try and find the balance between protecting people's rights, but continuing to support tech innovation. too much regulation in the uses this take on trip in the infringe government advisor could lead to an a brain drain. the risk of regulating too much, just to seal the 2 players. moving to the us, for instance, and it's a big risk. i can tell you that i've spoken to

a few teams the most have been so the in friends. and they're really considering that to the lowest a strong that they would move out of europe was against it's taken use. but you know, make, has to produce the a light bill box with technology advancing so quickly. no one can really predict if it will still be relevant by the time it's expected to come into force. it's actually butler, i'll just sarah, stressful. so to come here around to 0, it's in paul's, the u. s. federal reserve holes of hiking interest rates, despite those inflation words and sizes gathering alarm for the funeral. a form as healthy as prime minister, silvio berlusconi. the ally, there has been

a soggy stock to the sum of the southern parts of your band. that rain isn't going to stop yet. certainly for central parts of the mediterranean and the south east, where we're going to see more in a way of heavy rain increase over the next few days. that is good news for the south west of spain and portugal. i'm not sure why outlook and it continues to be very dry and hot across pots of scandinavia, the northwest with some records set for june in scotland. now as we move down to the south, what is it west of the rain scorching across the adriatic to places like bosnia and herzegovina as well as correlation and sub yeah, we've got some warnings out for heavy rain there as well as greece with thunder storms expected of a temperature in athens is stop and low the average day on thursday until friday, but we'll see and, but just pick up because i'm not sure the i bury and potentially for spain and portugal with a laundry dry outlook. and the outlook remains for much of the move west. we have a little bit of a cool, a feel to eastern parts of england, but still some lovely hot and dry weather to be enjoyed here and that continues

across not just scandinavian, just some rain and snow way out into poland as well as germany. but for the belgian, it's all about the heat. at the end of the week, i'm sorry, 1520 degrees on friday. the every month you'll have someone from home that will say, oh please, i need my me for the with the economy and fruitful and children spread around the world. how does the family survive in martin's in population as to pull about 4 people? you'll always have various places. infiniti sang money home. i just feel like i'm stretching myself quickly is transactions on out 00. the

welcome back. a quick reminder about top stories here and i'll just erase the 17 people driving dell for southern greek coast. when a migrant boat sank with some estimates that there were 750 people on board the fishing vessel. it's feared the tool could actually be in the israel's parliament has posted on a key pond to prime minister benjamin netanyahu, whose proposed judicial overall and peace it like to know position member to a key panel that appoints judges, injected the candidate from that and the audience own the could be used to move one step closer to having the world's for as law, regulating artificial intelligence, it aims to ensure a systems, a safe and ethical and a tech companies comply with. the u. s. federal reserve has left interest rates on hold. it's the 1st pause after raising waves 10 times since march last year. the

central bank has been trying to bring down inflation in the world's largest economy with i would, sparking a recession. inflation has slowed and recent months, but it's still about long term targets. heidi, do castro jones as live now from washington d. c. i would cite the federal reserve and what's behind this decision, heidi well, julia takes a deft hand to steer the jug or not. that is the u. s. economy and the federal reserve board essentially sent the message today that they believe the momentum is already taking things in the correct direction, and they don't want to risk an over correction. let's listen to what federal chair jerome powell says, it might have how far we've come and tightening policy, the on certain legs with which monetary policy affects the economy and potential head winds from credit tightening. today we decided to leave our policy interest

rate on change and to continue to reduce our securities holdings. looking ahead, nearly all committee participants view it as likely that some further rate increases will be appropriate this year to bring inflation down to 2 percent over time. of the so if i can translate that, that means we're on pause for now for the right high. but before the end of the year there will likely be at least one more. this is something that economists had predicted, especially after the assuring news coming out this week that inflation continues its downward trend in the us. it is down to 4 percent in the last month, more than have more than half way decrease from its peak during the pandemic. of 9 percent and so the fed still wants that number though to decrease further. and so there's still maybe more interest types at least one other one in the future. what does that mean for people? consumers on the street? well, taking out loans, it's still more expensive, especially to buy a house,

a car or to fund your education. however, this does mean that with interest rates not going higher this time around, that people may still feel that they have more money in their pockets to spend. so sort of a mix back here, a message that's pretty conservative and that the federal reserve says is an indicator that the u. s. economy is again headed in the correct direction. truly do castro. there live with the lease on that from washington dc. heidi saying to the head of the you a nuclear war still has postponed his trip to the russian controls operation, nuclear power plant in ukraine due to safety concerns about fail, we'll see was expected to assess the side following the breach of the nova cover, go down which provides cooling, walter, for the plan he won, the facility could be cold and ukraine's kendra offensive to retake russian occupied territory. the safety of the plan has been a concern to inspection forces seized more than a year ago. don't. how has more, not from keith, and as we understand that trip is being postponed,

possibly only for a matter of hours because of travel safety concerns they belong to the coast, situated in the upper easy region in territory controlled by russia. since the early stages of the war, it's very close to the front lines. and so there will be concerns about getting there. it's not the 1st time though that they've been concerns about it. safety and security because of fighting that is often taking place nearby. but the most recent events that exacerbates those concerns is the breaching of the cutoff. cut them at what worries about water supply, but also about the integrity of that cooling reservoir. lead mr. girl 6. to want to go see the dangers he said for himself, he has a permanent team base there and he told a press conference on tuesday. the the latest situation was a step in the wrong direction. and we named president abraham, re see is wrapping up a visits in nicaragua, where he's met president daniel ortega. and when i go now the visit is part of a 3 nation tour of latin america that's expected to include political and economic

deals. i mean, the miller stores this visits by uranian presidents, abraham are easy to nicaragua, is expected to deepen cooperation with the country also sanctioned by the united states. while discussions are expected to cub of political, economic and trade agreements with tens of billions of dollars. the lead is of use the visit to criticize the us and european nations quoting them. common enemies good on the side of the road though is all of them without exception, or major robbers and exploiters of the people in different regions of the earth. and the truth is that this practice has not disappeared. it's a ritual for i, you see, who began to to of latin america this week with a visit to venezuela, to iran is one of the most important allies for president making us madura is government due to the whole year of the amount of them in. well friends of difficult times to the people and governments of venezuela and the relationship

between iran and venezuela is not a normal diplomatic relationship. but as a strategic relationship between the 2 countries that have common interest, comment, visions, common enemies, venezuela has some of the world's largest oil reserves in both countries. opec members, the oil cartel, has become central to discussions of the energy crisis, bought by russia's war on ukraine. the conflicts renewed global efforts to solve and as well as political and economic crisis fullness. my do a visit to did one a year ago, signing a 20, a pact to increase cooperation in the oil, petrochemical and defense sectors. right. you see is 12 allied nations and lots of america comes as tensions with the us of worsening. well then i'll go to us as accused yvonne of providing russia with materials to build a plant to make drones. but to run says it's supplied drones to rush up before the start of the war. the crazy will complete is 12 with a visit to cuba, where you're jacob a full in a tiny in politics. we making it in his own image,

a source for some of inspiration. for all those seems to me even the national day of mourning declared in his own a i'm the state funeral was so many too much of a tribute for liter known for his russ style and sleazy scandals. but his support is a fitting tribute to the mine known as a cover yet a the night bundle normal and bit shown on you what a man is a character. he's always on stage. he has stands and detractors. he has people cheering for him and people hating him, silvio berlusconi was certainly a politician. he was certainly a business man. he was certainly a character to the 4 of celebrity on his departure leaves behind another struggle that to him, the survival of his policy. foresight talia, one of the parties that make up each of these coalition government, one that the prime minister, georgia maloney depends on for the survival of the premiership. where all these

controversy better scone managed to unite each of these rights when parties and facilitated the rise of maloney, both in recent times he was increasingly at ulta without betel scone. the government finds itself in a fragile position. maloney needs 17 senators from for the patio to consolidate for coalition governments majority key to maintaining support. when we bed new school, his daughter medina, who oversees his business empire as well as the late to lead his girlfriend, martha, sheena, myself, a senior member of potency, talia in the lower house for a sick time. his prospects will depend on these 3 women. they and the policy support is will be key to whether bed new school needs political legacy is able to survive until the future. so do you guy? yeah, go, i'll just, sarah. the

this is i'll just the, or a quick line to now if i told stories and be 78, people have dry and office then great coast. when a migrant both sank, the some estimates that there were 750 people on board. the fishing vessel is fear the tool could actually be in the hundreds. boat is police have been heading for easily after sailing from to broke in eastern libya. high winds have complicated the rescue operation. don't. so helpless has more from calling mazda on the search and rescue efforts.
