this is news coming to you live from bahrain as guatemala mourns its dead time is running off to find more survivors just one hundred people are dead following sunday's massive volcanic eruption and many others are still missing and there are warnings of the erupt again in the days ahead also coming up from campaigning in balance for and against the text residents citizens living in germany have begun to the cons of the country snap election good their votes have an impact on the

outcome. of the ministry of the japanese citizens abducted by north korea we meet the mother of one man who disappeared the me was one thousand years ago and she tells the w a how she found out what happened to him and more than two decades ago. of a bomb welcome to you i'm on the. time is running out in the search for survivors of guatemala fire with warnings of new imminent eruptions the deaths to foreign sun this eruption is risen to at least ninety nine with close to two hundred people still missing this during criticism but early warnings of the deadly eruption and offers of international aid were largely ignored meanwhile rescues

a pressing ahead with efforts in devastated towns and villages. clearing the rubble after disaster struck. the biggest priority for crews is to find and remove bodies buried under volcanic ash. it's a grim task and dangerous the volcano could erupt again at any time. we're motivated to do our job with everything we have been assuming that whatever it takes no matter how difficult the conditions even if it means risking our lives something we're very aware of. harms is on the scene and says there is growing anger as hopes diminish of finding survivors. authorities say after seventy two hours in with the heat in the area it's almost impossible to find anyone alive anymore and the smell of dead bodies is becoming even more evident the president visited the area but refused talking to the press as his government is experiencing

much pressure because of the late response he has shown during this catastrophe now the most important thing will be to help those who have lost it all people that fled their homes what they were worrying only and may never be able to return to where they lived their entire lives. in safer parts of us emergency shelters have been set up for the evacuees. those who made it here are the lucky ones. who have had little as he was we had to leave we couldn't take anything with us. the ashes were coming after us but the people who stayed behind were buried underneath in my own nancy minus a battlefield we had on body of music of that on their house full of the moving of the lava came and took everything with it. which many people were killed. and. we have nothing left nothing at all. but the community has come together in

a show of solidarity with people donating food and other items to help them olens who've lost their homes. a makeshift memorial has been set up to remember loved ones who are unable to flee the volcano's dudley reach. we have this been criticism that authorities were not quick enough to warn people. i have on the line of vulcanologist a david three professor at the ritz is it possible to predict such as options so precisely that people can be warned early enough. it's not always possible to predict when an eruption is going to happen it's possible which is has its own maps which. the areas but it's safe to say in if an eruption does happen and we didn't out of a four way go was becoming particularly active for the month of may but it had been active since two thousand and two so that's

a long period of activity when no major title eruption happened so it is very difficult to spot the moment when you need to say to everybody get that something big is going to happen. i'm sure will be an inquiry to see what lessons can be learned was there something in the data which they should have responded twenty four hours or six hours before the eruption we don't know yet but you can look at why the ground is vibrating with instruments called seismometers which used to detect quakes because small are quite fond of volcano to show you the magma all the gas rising towards the activity increases or gets clouds to the surface that can be a signal but an eruption is imminent so what we know so far about what happened in guatemala do you think made mistakes didn't they could have handled this differently. it's too early to say that it's possible that i made

mistakes not about giving good advice i'm looking at the. guatemalan website now reporting that very same seismometers that you check marks movements are spot in the grand vibrating as loud hartley's and mudflows coming down the sides of the mountain sever is warning now of the last of the accidents on the surface of us being rained on is running down the surface as the kind of mud flows and warnings of those mudflows are being given so. it's not a happy situation but i think that learning how to communicate the dangers to the local people that and they think if i said all that we're hearing about more is options how likely is a tell it is option of the few. other eruptions aging negligible but then the important question is how big will the future eruptions be what we had four days ago is probably the biggest

eruption we're going to get this year of eruptions i would expect to be smaller and less damaging and in any case most. vulcanologists even the return to us from new hampshire in the u.k. . thank you very much for that analysis you're welcome. turkish versions living abroad have started casting early ballots in the country's snap elections on june twenty fourth here in germany polling stations open this morning across the country of the more than three million turkish overseas voters the only hot of them live in germany in the last election three years ago some sixty percent of turkish voters in germany supported president richard and his k.p. party that's a much higher percentage than turkey itself let's now go to turkey and to our

correspondent dorian jones he's standing by in istanbul jordan this knap election is effectively now underway how creepy crucial will these overseas votes be particularly those from germany now these overseas voters account for around seven percent of the fifty five million turkish electorate of which over majority of which are ethnic kirks living in germany and i thought relatively small amount but given the fact that this presidential and parliamentary elections are proving to be increasingly competitive both both could prove to the outcome and president heard one of his ruling a k party all looking for those votes to be out the five to factor given that usually overseas both as to favor of the president and his ruling party. politicians were banned from campaigning in germany and other parts of europe have tensions with the e.u. played a role in the campaigning that. well certainly in last year's

referendum similar restrictions will put on campaigning in europe particularly against the president heard one in his ruling a party and heard one did make that authentic piece of a very close referendum and it did plunge relations between turkey and the e.u. to a crisis point but this time even though earth one has appeared to try and play a similar card along with his a k polity it doesn't seem to gain much traction on the reason why it's the economy that is dominating the selection last month the turkish lira with plunged into crisis and the repercussions of those heavy fault are continuing to be felt in the selection and in the economy and economic concerns across the board that is dominating this election so any attempt to making our new raul the rift between turkey and the e.u. doesn't appear to be gaining much traction at the moment jordan jones in istanbul thank you very much. let me now bring up to date that some of the

a japanese man who disappeared and how she found on sister what happened decades later. it was here to pan's west coast the thirteen year old to kill she disappeared from a fishing boat he'd gone out with. the intended to return the next morning but the authorities declared them officially dead soon afterwards. i never believed they were dead but because the boat was damaged in the front many thought there'd been an accident. she then tells us her incredible story twenty four years later she was it the message from north korea that her son was alive. she says i traveled there i have pictures of it i could hardly take him in my arms because he was such a stranger to me it long since started a family of as own.

i could hardly speak my lips were trembling so hard my knees went weak he was also shy and hardly moved a muscle the whole encounter was so surreal i said you had a small scar on your forehead and he showed it to me and then i knew it was him one hundred. after the meeting because his mother found out that her son had only just told his new family about his japanese origins. what kind of badges of those we ask. workers metal she tells us and goes on to say that the young ticket she had learnt korean very quickly and that he'd been told he'd been saved from the sea that he lived in a large apartment and pyongyang where she visited him many times but she had to promise her son that she would never say that he'd been abducted by north korea former japanese prime minister junichiro koizumi persuaded north korea to admit

there had been cases of abductions but very few of those taken were able to return to japan. today there are still signs on the japanese coast urging people to report suspicious boats. once i asked a question if it's hard heard when he withheld something from me he said we'll talk about that moamar in the grave. and i thought that now aged eighty seven to casey's mother received a lesser offense from her son's korean family she'd said a final goodbye to them the last time she saw them. official thought on i've made sacrifices all my life japan negotiated the return of a few who'd been abducted techies she protected himself in his own way of course i helped him because we could never be sure that anyone else would. not even now as north korea and the us discuss peace. with a foreigner like of the. how can we talk when we're in the grave she asked him
