i mean. this is deja vu news coming to you live from berlin disaster strikes on africa's biggest lake dozens drowned as a perry capsizes on lake victoria the death toll is expected to rise further tanzania and officials fear as many as two hundred people may have died also coming up the fight for affordable housing in big cities germany's leaders hold an

emergency meeting after a housing crisis in berlin surge by twenty percent that's a bigger jump than anywhere else in the world. and the world anti-doping agency lifts a ban on russia's drug testing laboratory despite widespread opposition and russian track and field athletes have not competed under their country's flag since twenty fifteen. hello i'm terry martin thanks for joining us dozens of people have died after a ferry carrying more than four hundred passengers sank thursday on lake victoria intends in the in waters the death toll is expected to rise further as rescue efforts continue on friday about one hundred people have been rescued so far thirty two are said to be in critical condition the ferry sank near the shore between the islands of two kora and the overloaded. soul reportedly capsized when passengers

clustered on one side. for the very latest let's bring in our correspondent catherine who joins us from nairobi katherine what's the latest you're hearing from the disaster site well terry so far just the rescue operations are underway rescuers have retrieved dozens of bodies and dozens of others a still missing and dozens of more dead presidents john mchugh fully did give a statement condoling with the families of the affected he also asked tanzanians to remain calm as investigations into the matter launched so with many people still missing the rescue operation is continuing do we know why the boat sank. well there was a question about maintainance of the ferry but he had undergone maintainance in

recent days in fact two of its engines had been overhauled so that seems to have been put aside the main reason now that local authorities. are pointing at overcrowding this particular ferry had a capacity of at least one hundred people so we have we have reports of that up to four hundred people on this boat but aside from the four hundred people which is three hundred more than its capacity those also. heavy cargo that that like me bags of maize and bags of cement so this is largely be blamed for the reason for the capsize ok so in over loaded ferry in this case i understand that very disasters are fairly common on lake victoria why is that. well lake victoria is known for its rough waters and the rough weather and this particular lake that is shared by three countries uganda tanzania kenya. the most recent or the most disastrous incident that we can remember really involving times

i mean is it happened in one thousand nine hundred six when the boat capsized and at least five hundred people drowned again in two thousand and twelve on the ugandan side fifty eight people lost their lives when their boat capsized and again in two thousand and sixteen the same happened where twenty people lost their lives when they both capsized in december two thousand and sixteen so this place is known for its rough waters but also it's not uncommon to have ferries like these overloaded so this plus the rough waters mainly the reason for the repose the frequent incidences catherine thank you so much for now be there was catherine and wanda talking to us from nairobi. now to some of the other stories making headlines today the death toll from a monsoon landslide in central philippines has risen to twenty two dozens of other people are still missing authorities forcibly aback awaited residents of five billy

g. is at risk of further landslides following days of heavy rains caused by typhoon monk who. beat emmy's president try on day qual has died at the age of sixty one according to state media president kong had suffered a serious illness and had been treated both of home and abroad he served as vietnam's president from april twenty sixth seen. thousands of protesters have marched in guatemala city against corruption the protests comes after president jimmy morale has decided to end the work of a u.n. anti corruption commission it has led high profile graft probes targeting dozens of powerful guatemalans including morales and his family. at the end authorities in peru have recovered more than seven hundred agents artifacts which have been stolen from the country clued pre-historic relics from various lost civilizations in the andean nation the items were repatriated from europe the u.s.

and other latin american countries it's. average and low income earners around the world are struggling with rising rents and a shrinking supply of affordable housing germany is no different today chancellor i'm going to macklin her ministers are getting together with property developers and lobby groups to address what has already become a pressing issue for many german families last year berlin was the city with the fastest growing property prices in the world prices here jumped by twenty percent in just a year three other german cities hamburg munich and frankfurt were also in the top ten. more affordable accommodation is desperately needed that that's why the chancellor has pledged to invest five billion. nero's into housing and she's promised to build one point five million affordable homes over the next three years but unions and tenants associations say those targets won't be reached they accuse

the government of not doing enough to create affordable living space for people with little in comp. in apartment viewing in the much high bilin district of nyc when we're only allowed to film the floor it's a two room flat on the ground level eight hundred fifty euros a month well included some of these interested tenants have been searching for months is really really really really hard that your salary must to be treated times more than the rent. and we know that we believe is one of the most desperate city with a lot of under an employer. or so the salary where when you work they are not so high they are into this what's my impression. it's on the ground floor. facing east. or it doesn't get much natural light i find it expensive for what it is. but the demand for living space in berlin is

enormous it's estimated the city needs an extra one hundred seventy thousand apartments that's forcing rental prices up those looking for a flat have few options for many home hunting is a full time job. i remember accountable in ten years ago finding an apartment was an easy one the first apartment i rented had two rooms and it cost only five hundred euro now prices doubled. in this house in the hip princella back neighborhood residents refused to accept the threat of higher rents for coasters and protests they successfully campaigned against a new investor trying to buy the building. looking for movies and quite often get seen as a person with expose we saw a group of possible investors because they were walking through the hives with investment procedures speaking in different languages before that's when we thought

here goes our hives let's get off and then we quickly organized ourselves internally. we held meetings and discussions we knew we had to do some things it was because we didn't want to sit back and wait in half the year investors could buy the house and renovators away when these people were in here that you could at least we live here affordably rosa goes to the school nearby this is where we have our community our friends we had to start thinking about moving our entire lives somewhere else god's will on this one and. such worries brought the house together artists and freelancers live here they pay six euros per square meter a month and some nearby buildings rents are almost double if you here could afford such prices but now a public housing company has agreed to buy the building rents will still increase but only by a fraction it's a happy ending for these tenants but they want politicians to do more for the rest

of the land you know when times are high it's fundamental that housing isn't too expensive that people can have a roof over their heads diverse groups of people can still afford to live in the city. that campaign posters are still hanging on the walls they're sending a message to other tenants about why it's important to join together and fight for their rights. through level know which according to the united nations is now hosting more than a million syrian refugees many are young people who fled the fighting back home in the middle of their education now they have little chance to finish their studies that's where a german charity called cue ball is trying to help providing learning opportunities online. we saw. a refugee from syria like millions of others he fled civil war in his home country he has now been living in the lebanese capital beirut for five years the shelby is an artist and a successful one but he wants more training and to attend university if possible

a tall order for refugees in lebanon. it's just too expensive here it costs far more than i earn there's no chance everything will cost so much here. he discovered cure on the internet it's a german website meant for refugees both in germany and in other countries which aims to help them prepare for college especially for the online lectures a well known universities but also with personal assistance also here in lebanon if the refugees do eventually go to college credits they have earned through here should transfer. a shabby has taken business administration courses so that he can sell his art more easily in the future. you have what i especially like about here on is that it is so easy to use. they have

a lot of videos. it's easy to learn. your arms berlin headquarters are in a prime location employees come from different countries and the atmosphere is cosmopolitan the assistant around three thousand three hundred refugees half of whom are in germany the services are free the charitable start up here on is financed through donations and government grants. the basic idea of care on is giving people who have lost a lot more everything the chance to take charge of their own lives again we believe that education is key for this and we want to use digital media to give people opportunities they wouldn't otherwise have. that said three out of four refugees drop out of the courses to the s. and says that is completely normal for online classes but the startup wants to improve things in this area especially with some shoddy absolutely wants to keep

learning how to combine art and marketing. and on. the job but i'm going to dream. of having. once i've completed the courses and so the philosophy and maybe i could start my own business style of a design or something with design name or drafting would have us on whatever i can produce those numbers to look up and. do some shoddy hopes that he can eventually return to his home country of syria until then he wants to use his time well. the world anti-doping agency watch has voted to lift a ban on russia's anti doping agency the move paves the way for russian athletes to return to track and field competitions and for the country to host major sporting

events the ban had been in place since twenty fifteen. the biggest doping scandal in sports history might be coming to an end the russian anti-doping agency will be reinstated pending some final technicality the decision has been heavily criticised by various athletes and national anti doping agencies but is being celebrated in russia. the only sure this is a first step the important one it opens the way to our sportsmen and our federations to participate in sports competitions moreover it opens an opportunity to host international competitions on russian territory. just before the twenty sixteen rio olympics water investigates a richard mclaren revealed russia had adopted a state sponsored doping program in the lead up to the sochi games he concluded more than one thousand russian athletes across thirty sports benefited from the program. very quickly we learned that there was

a lot more going on than just what without it socially and once we learned that and it was early days in the investigation yes we were more than surprised to restore. the potential scope of what was going on. but water has now backed down from its demands for russia to accept the mclaren report in order for the ban on its abort tree to be lifted and restart it has agreed to hand over its samples and historical data for further investigation by the end of the year with that key condition met the executive committee of water has chosen to place its trust in her saga but it may be a decision that puts the agency's reputation at stake. or for more on the russian doping story we've got mccambridge from v.w. sports here good morning what did you think when you heard that water had lifted the ban on russia's. doping agency well i just find this completely unsurprising

the writings on the wall for this decision since june. when the b.b.c. uncovered letters between the water president craig reedie and russian sports ministers essentially offering a compromise on the previously agreed conditions for risottos reinstatement now you have to watch the software was the tough stance here they had an opportunity here to lay down the line and they've just totally missed it and anti doping experts have come out to speak about thursday's decision that cool things up but will the ring inexplicable premature and i have to say i agree with every single one of those you know russia continues to deny the allegations of running a state sponsored doping program for some observers looking at this from outside this looks like a case of water just caving in to the russians is that what happened in my opinion absolutely they have i mean originally russia were given two to keep conditions that they had to me in order for risotto to be reinstated the first was to accept

the findings of the mclaren report and the second was to hand over their laboratory to wada so that historic data and samples could be tested and you know athletes that were previously involved could be properly tested and punished in a retrospective leigh if need be now they've done neither of those things they never accepted the findings of the mclaren report instead they've just admitted failings on their part and they yet to turn their lap over to water so for me it's an absolutely baffling decision. after this decision i mean people we do want good athletics right will this be easier now for russian pleats to go forward to compete almost certainly i mean the international athletics federation is meeting in december to make a farnell decision on whether or not these russian athletes are going to be allowed to compete as a twenty eight nineteen but i think while the have just completely removed the justifications for any further band so it would be stunned if these athletes weren't greenlit to carry on competing in future and what about hosting major sporting events is it now going to be easier for russia to do that i think it's

extremely likely that russia is just going to carry on as normal. going to carry on building for major international competitions just as they always were i mean let's be forget they've actually hosted the world cup this year i mean it was an incredibly positive tournament for russia to host they've come out of it looking incredibly good light so of course they're going to want to bid for more things in future and now i don't think there's anything stopping them thanks so much for cambridge from did every sports. turkey on thursday cut its growth forecast in half for this year and next this comes as turkish finance minister bearer of iraq travels to berlin today carrying some heavy economic luggage the lira has plunged by forty percent this year over concerns of a president who wants influence on monetary policy and a deep rift with the united states inflation is now over twenty percent and the

have is the question. to give you a reasonable will be your small businesses like nas are especially badly his but larger companies are struggling to the lure us decline has made loans taken action dollars or euros far harder to pay back all over turkey people can see that the notes coming out of the a.t.m. are losing value. phones have become more expensive they now cost fifteen hundred two thousand lire more than before as well as food transport everything. to call it the truth which in all the chocolate i buy for the kids first it cost one lira and one fifteen now it costs to layer a market even at a discount supermarkets are no longer cheap. market that aren't elected at the moment the emphasis is the companies are pretty much robbing us blind they put their prices up every month. karen alcan is an economist and business columnist at

a lot of pressure and yes you are right it was quite surprising when we got the report some weeks ago that the carmaker was for the first time a little three. years in the winning zone we have to remember that opel had certain restrictions under the ownership off of g.m. with which countries it could do business with that's with peers a the new owner not anymore the case but still it's not clear what all of this is going to mean and which role the big production facilities like the ones you close to frankfurt in recent times will play in the future and now they're producing thirty five cars per hours earlier this year fifty five and this is creating not a good spirit here at all among the employees that work at call so has already announced that they don't agree and that they want to have talks with the management about the situation. still trouble that opel don't know cold and frankfurt thank you. the migration situation here in europe was on the agenda at the e.u. leaders summit in australia thursday the big challenge how can the millions of

migrants who have a rifle here in europe be integrated into european societies most experts agree the key is to get them into work and quickly very often small businesses are leading the way in their field because they're having trouble filling vacancies as our example from the various shows. are. driving large amounts of beer around that's not mean seventies main job. he's employed by the hallett brewery. i'm sure proud about. this because there's big news from the knowledge that they can go to work. you see and then deploy bitch or so are so kind to me. were friendly to me too got fried had they hired him three years ago he needed people for simple unskilled labor. to swallow that i mean somebody in seventy has been working for the company since march of twenty fifteen

is a good worker after him we hired three more refugees. the migrants are young and they learn quickly but for hamlet the social aspect also plays a role he pays for the refugees german classes and ensures that they find accommodation. followed by such as are given to killing the job is most important they have a structured day they have their own money that is important i talk a lot to the refugees and they all say that they do not want to depend on the payments they would get from the german state to the e.u. the chamber of industry and commerce has established a network with the aim of integrating migrants into the labor market that this is deposits by fact there are two motivators for the companies to commit themselves socially and to contribute to society and the other is quite simply the lack of specialists many enterprises need people and they simply found an exciting target

group a lot of young people who want to build something for themselves. and i mean seventy and his colleagues grows between one thousand eight hundred and two thousand euros a month depending on how many hours they work and after being here so long the new one say they almost feel like they're from here. british luxury carmaker aston martin says it is seeking a valuation of five point seven billion euros when it goes public next month the comic a frame this as the purveyor of fine luxury vehicle to the james bond franchise will become the only comic book to be listed on the london stock exchange aston martin says the i.p.o. will go ahead with or without breaks it and that it has stockpiled engines and components however says restrictions on the free movement of goods could affect supply chains costs and frequent postal last march suppliers are based in the e.u.
