this is bbc news, the headlines... missile strikes over kyiv, as a delegation of african leaders hold a visit to ukraine to promote dialogue to end the war. it comes as a bbc investigation reveals 25,000 russian soldiers have been killed in the war so far — four times the official number suggested by the kremlin. we have a special report. greek authorities face mounting pressure to explain how a migrant boat sank in the country's southern coast. parts of india and pakistan's coast take stock of the damage from cyclone biparjoy amid fresh warnings as the storm moves inland.

let's return to that story. greece and authorities there are under pressure to explain how a migrant boat that was believed to be carrying more than 700 people sank of the country's southern coast on wednesday. the bbc have been told that 100 of them were children and reports say they were travelling in the hold. we know that nearly 80 people have been confirmed dead so far but the final toll could make it one of the worst disasters of its kind in europe. the boat was heading for libya and capsized 80 kilometres from a southern coastal town. the survivors are being processed in the port of cala marta. —— port of kalamata for treatment. good news for one family. a moment of relief for two brothers — reunited after a migrant boat sank

off the coast of greece. he wasjust 18 he was just 18 years old and had beenin he was just 18 years old and had been in libya for nearly two years. his brother travelling from the netherlands. embracing him through the gates of the port in kalamata. the survivors of that ship wreck are being held there and are being cared for in a warehouse. as you can see, on the left—hand side, the 18—year—old man is one of the survivors of the capsized fishing boatin survivors of the capsized fishing boat in greece. it was a particularly tearful reunion. as we said, 80 people confirmed dead and 750 could be missing at sea. as we said, the bbc have been told that as many as 100 children could have pressure mounting on the authorities to reveal what they knew

and crucially when they knew about this boat that was coming under difficulty off the southern coast. there are conflicting reports about what happened. several human rights groups are blaming the greek coastguard for not intervening earlier. they said they should have attempted a rescue operation, even though the migrants on board had not asked for one. because it was clearly something wrong with this boat. it was overcrowded, it had no flag, and the captain did not have any paperwork. at the greek government has fiercely defended the coastguard, saying that they made contact with the boat on tuesday. the day before it capsized. they offered to help that the people on board refused any help and theyjust wanted to sail towards italy. but critics are saying that, if the greek authorities had intervened earlier, this tragedy could have been avoided. relatives of the hundreds feared dead raced to the port,

fearing the worst. aftab is searching for news about his cousins from pakistan. my relatives were on the boat that capsized. how do you know that? we've had confirmation. we've found one of the relatives is in there, but the rest of them we haven't got hold of yet. how many relatives? | there's four of them. the victims of greece's worst ever migrant shipwreck had set off from libya. it's still unclear how many were on board. we understand that they travelled under very difficult conditions for many days, in conditions of overcrowding — you saw the photos. and, at some point, they sent a distress call because they had problems with the engine. these are the circumstances that we've heard from the people. there were many on the boat, some 750, most of them men. but we heard that there were also some women and children, less in number.

this doctor treated 30 of the survivors, mostly from hypothermia and dehydration, who told him dozens of children were on board. 0ne told me about 100 children. the other told me about 50. hanging over this tragedy is one simple question — should the greek authorities have done more to save those on board? the coastguard says the migrants didn't want their help — a claim that's been challenged. so, we've been trying to piece together what exactly happened. at around 8am on tuesday, the greek authorities are first informed about the fishing vessel. the coastguard has first contact at 11am and claims it doesn't request assistance. a little later, an emergency helpline for migrants in trouble at sea receives multiple distress calls, including one at 3.20pm, saying the captain

has left the vessel. bbc verify has used a ship—monitoring website to follow the movements of boats in the area that offered assistance. at 3pm, greece sends a nearby commercial vessel, lucky sailor, to the migrant boat, supplying it with food and water. tuesday evening, a coastguard vessel sails near the fishing boat and, from a distance, apparently concludes there was no problem with its navigation. but less than four hours later, the migrant boat overturns and sinks. search operations continue today, but, as hours go by, hopes of finding more survivors are fading. a big search operation is going on today in southern greece because the fear is that more people could be

missing at sea. the european union has sent manpower and resources to assist with this operation. of course, it is a very complicated thing. because the location of this ship wreck happened in a location where the mediterranean sea is extremely deep with depths of up to 5200 metres. some of the families of the people who were on the boat have arrived here in kalamata hoping to find the relatives and be reunited. 0f find the relatives and be reunited. of course, the ship wreck happened on wednesday and it is now friday afternoon. hopes of finding more survivors are fading quickly. it is a wheelie good to talk to you, thank you for bringing us up—to—date. —— really good to talk to you. we will talk more about that. live now to kalamata — where we can speak to dimitris chaliotis, hellenic red cross volunteer.

is in the newsroom with more. so there will be no more harry and meghan on spotify. the deal was one of a number of commercial arrangements that the couple made when they quit the royalfamily and moved to the united states. the series itself was launched to a blaze of publicity in 2020. now, the contract was said to be worth $25 million. however, american media are reporting that the couple might not get the full value of the contract as they didn't hit what is known as a productivity benchmark. now, interestingly, we only had a very short statement from the two companies saying spotify and archewell audio have mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series that we made together. now, it does come after spotify last week announced job cuts in its podcast department. meghan�*s series was called archetypes, it ran for 12 episodes and featured a number of celebrities, including mariah carey and serena williams. here's how meghan described it last year... people should expect the real me in this and probably the me that they've never gotten to know, certainly not in the past few years, where everything is through the lens of the media as opposed to, "hey, it's me".

i'm just excited to be myself and talk and be unfiltered. and, yeah, it's fun. the series did win top podcast award at the people's choice awards in december and meghan is said to be looking to develop content for a different platform. the royal couple have, of course, since splitting from the royalfamily looked to capitalise on their fame. their netflix series, for example, is reportedly worth $100 million, whilst harry released his autobiography at the beginning of the year. spare — that part of a $20 million deal with penguin books. that was nikki in the newsroom with all the details as we know them. live now to mark borkowski, a crisis and branding expert. it is probably the case that we won't really know all the details here, a suggestion that they won't get any of that big money because they haven't met their target. but whatever the outcome, this is deeply

we head through this evening at tonight, we will continue to see more cloud and showery rain in western parts of the uk. that rain perhaps making a bit more progress east. further east, clear skies perhaps making a bit more progress east. further east, clearskies and one or two mist patches. relatively chilly night across parts of north—east england and eastern scotland. that is where we will see some of the best of the sunshine during saturday morning. further south and west, more cloud and showers. possibly the odd thunderstorm here and there. as we go through saturday, temperatures still up to around 25 or 26 degrees in the sunniest spots. but a bit cooler than it has been out towards the west, maybe 20 degrees in belfast for example. saturday evening, still some of these showers and the odd thunderstorm across western parts, mainly dry further east but a lot of low cloud close to north sea coasts. in sunday, this weather system running up from the

south. this could bring more showers and thunderstorms through the day on sunday, particularly across england and wales. the showers and storms will crop up and could give enough rain for localised flooding, frequent lightning, gusty wind. northern ireland had south—west scotland seeing some of those as well. there will always be places that full through the gaps and stay pretty much dry. however, through sunday night, those showers and storms will become more widespread as they drift north across many parts of the uk. the start of next week, still unsettled with showers around at times. it may turn drier in the south late in the weekend temperatures still above the average for the time of year.
