a new survey puts seconds of the goods on their lowest poll rating for twentieth to the far right or turn to put germany meanwhile on now germany's second biggest party. and watch on the world anti doping agency to lift the ban on the russian drug testing the water treat despite widespread international opposition and russian track and field athletes have not completed under their country's flag two concentricity. welcome i'm a touch more than eighty people have died after a ferry carrying more than four hundred passengers sank on the victoria in tanzania and water rescue efforts on to read the details of the disaster officials say chances of finding more survivors is low and that the death toll is expected to rise by. one hundred people have been rescued so far thirty two are said to be in
12:02 pm
a critical condition the ferry sank near the shore between the islands of the quarter and of the good order the overloaded vessel reportedly capsized and passengers moved to one side of the ferry. now people in the region have turned to twitter and the name of the boat and be knighted it into a hash tag to express this sadness and frustration with what they see as an avoidable tragedy one woman for god is salaam in tanzania is asking why is this still happening and we spies and we booked and now and the night it is the names of this and previous both involved in fatal accidents when will this talk my heart goes out to the families of those who lost their lives and are still missing hash tag and night is not a social justice activists in nairobi also remembers a previous accident on the victoria ending i really capsized so close to the shore
12:03 pm
second sea tragedy in tanzania off to m.b. because sank in one thousand nine hundred six. meanwhile a kenyan blogger had this to say it goes without saying m.b. no i really a tragedy was bound to happen it was a matter of when not if precious lives lost in similar tragedies in tanzania and kenya have taught us nothing the lives of the poor are not even their own they don't matter matter rest in peace. for the very latest on the situation correspondent catherine wander joins me from nairobi katherine what's the latest from the disaster side and initial thoughts on the cause of the tragedy. well now that the rescue mission has officially tended to a recovery mission the tanzanian navy doesn't expect to find any more survivors from here on out dozens of bodies have been retrieved within the last couple of
12:04 pm
hours and they expect to retrieve dozens more given that day was a market day there was a lot more people using the ferry and it's not quite clear still just the exact number of how many people were on this particular ferry and rita. as we heard many people are very angry about the frequency of accidents like this one why do we keep seeing designs just on lake victoria. well other than the fact that victoria has rough water. the main issue is overcrowding of these particular ferries this particular ferry had a capacity of one hundred people but then it was carrying well over that local authorities put that number between three hundred and four hundred people on board and this is including livestock including dyes including things like cement and you know maize bags of maize so it was it was overloaded it was carrying more than it's
12:05 pm
capacity and this is mainly the reason why a lot of boats go down on lake victoria and can't have been any attempts made to improve safety on the waters of lake victoria. all governments this is uganda kenya and tanzania have been looking into ways to maintain their ferries in fact this particular ferry had undergone maintainance in the last couple of months it had its two engines overhauled the issue is probably just implementation of the regulations that govern how many people get on board these ferries there are regulations that say that you shouldn't exceed the number of people required on the ferry but then now implementation down on the ground is one thing and that's probably what the governments are going to look forward or look into going forward how to implement so that these ferries are just carrying what they can bear. in nairobi thank you very much for that update.

the scramble to get aid to syria's province during a lull in fighting many civilians there have already fled violence and are once again facing harsh conditions. but first this from germany the chancellor angela merkel is under increasing pressure off the results of a new poll here in germany after only twenty eight percent of voters surveyed backed of conservatives the last share in over two decades the survey also showed that the far right or turn to for germany or the f.t. has overtaken the center left to become the country's second biggest party for the first time ever with strife within her coalition and a surging opposition how long can the chance to hold on. it was still business as usual at german chancellor angela merkel's weekly cabinet meeting yet the struggle to keep her coalition together is increasingly taking its toll. the
12:08 pm
latest germany trend by public broadcaster a.r.d. again sees michael's coalition government lose its overall majority the conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. drops to twenty eight percent its worst result ever. social democratic coalition partner s.p.d. is down to seventeen percent while the far right e.f.t. party has become the second strongest political force for the first time polling for the remaining parties has remained the same. weeks of public wrangling over what really happened on the streets of chemists with e.s.d. and the extremist right closed ranks and demonstrations and the constant power struggle between machall and her interior minister haas disease have hurt the government the promotion of germany's chief spy hands georg masson a medical critic as a compromise way to remove him from office also appears to be backfiring on the
12:09 pm
very men who had the idea. machall critic and interior minister horsey hoover's approval ratings have plummeted eleven points since april to twenty eight percent. the head of the various conservative c.s.u. party is facing increasing criticism from within his own party ranks this latest poll again suggests that coalition wrangling is a major problem and is playing into the hands of the far right f.t. . so what do all those numbers in that survey mean douglas chief political editor joins us now from our parliamentary said yes we can or as they saw gains for the far right f.t. making it the second strongest spot in the country what does this mean for chancellor angela merkel. it is on to really stand their ground and going back to those voters which she vowed to do after those general elections which for the first time saw the far right if the end to the german parliament but
12:10 pm
the bottom line really is that there is way too much infighting in the government for this to be credible and that the one beneficiary is the party with a very simple messages which are mainly on migration which is the far right if the so a lot to be concerned over for german chancellor angela merkel and at the same time as so of weakness that was actually quite evident in her action when she was able to get rid of the chief spy in germany and unable to really so her rebellious interior minister who is the boss in the cabinet and you know one of the reasons for that the loss is that this survey shows rituals that not only feed you and see if you the conservative bloc but not so the s.p.d. the chief governing coalition have what all of them have lost support yes basically because this coalition is so busy keeping the stock together and the social democrats in particular are the weakest link they've been proven to be the weakest
12:11 pm
link once again in that they once again over the sacking of skilled mohsen who sought to fame over this brow this chief spy they had to be the ones who so common sense a common sense approach who once again give ground to avoid a collapse of the so-called grand coalition and the instability that would have come with potentially having to call fresh elections so jim politics from mainz in turmoil and not enough work is getting done clearly the voters don't like that so given all this turmoil and infighting could germany be heading for fresh elections do you think. well the first elections we have to wait for are those regional elections in bavaria which could potentially lead to the interior minister having to sack down so anything could really happen over weakening all strengthening of under machall through those elections i think we're far off having to discuss whether the first general elections in germany are any any closer right.

w.c. philip glenister thank you very much for that analysis. just america is not the only european leader facing a tough time british prime minister is a mere is also under pressure after a briggs a blueprint was rejected by the european union at a summit in salzburg austria on percy and the u.k. media has branded the summit a humiliation to reason many had hoped to get support from the european counterparts on checkers for britain's exit from the e.u. instead the european council president donald tusk said maes proposals would not work and they would undermine the single market. move freeze a crucial test of britain's conservative party conference which gets under way at the end of the month. now for some perspective news is a reporter alex forrest whiting joins me welcome alex saw the book some i did not
12:13 pm
go as the reason they would have wished in fact some british media using was accumulation disaster what went wrong well i think that those people those allies with two reason may at number ten downing street really thought that the world's going to be more accommodating they've been will sympathy for her given what's going on back home with her with the domestic politics a bit in the end it was decided and donald tusk presented this that actually it wasn't going to work with the e.u. principles particularly freedom of movement and also this big question over the irish border what they're going to do with ireland and northern ireland northern ireland of course being in the u.k. so how would that border work and donald tusk himself even posting a picture of cakes on social media on his instagram account which appeared to be mocking the british in which he said some cakes perhaps sorry no cherries in other words the u.k. cannot cherry pick what it wants from the e.u.

post breaks it surveys a strong message meanwhile the clock is ticking the brig's a deadline is march next year after this. summit what next when it's very very difficult for two reasons in an extremely uncomfortable position as if you haven't been in one already she's got these breck cities who are lining up against her already we've had these resignations over the summer such as the former foreign secretary boris johnson you've also got these program main is who are angry with this check his deal she's got to face her party at the conservative party conference in just over a week many of these people lining up against her they've only got to get a vote of around fifteen percent of tory m.p.'s within the party to say that they want a vote of no confidence into reason may so it's very difficult for her i think that we've moved a step forward towards a no deal possibly to another general election maybe even closer to another referendum everything at the moment i believe is to be played for right to alex for

us whiting thank you very much. the united nations has warned that a turkish russian deal to delay a major friends of in syria is it live province may not prevent all fighting there the deal leaves room for syrian forces to take on terrorist organizations many office fighters live side by side with civilians is the plight of lips three million civilians many of whom fled fighting elsewhen syria has now become a priority organizations like the red crescent are desperate to get aid to them before the bullets start flying again. reports from hopping on the turkish side of the border with syria. urging everyone on time is short these aid packages are bound for the syrian border. but there are still empty boxes here at the red crescent depot in how tight.

helps with packing even though it isn't one of his usual tasks he's the chief coordinator of his organization's aid to syria we're going to. these things we can care for one hundred twenty five thousand people from head to toe in the camps for displaced people. but in order for all this to go smoothly it's crucial for the transport to go quickly and be well organized. in one corner of the warehouse there is a display of what the red crescent workers take across the border to shoes toys washing powder hygiene supplies food and cooking utensils the needs in the getting the need in this most of the families there have been displaced in the province of idlib alone there are more than four hundred camps and the people there have a very hard time getting by. most of them have lost absolutely everything they once
12:17 pm
had. turkey has taken in more refugees than any other country about three point five million syrians now live on this side of the border three years ago president added undecided the country could not host anymore and effectively close the border since then turkey has been trying to keep refugees on the syrian side and give them aid over there. and to further its effort to prevent more syrians from crossing the border turkey has been building a wall it's more than eight hundred kilometers long and still expanding. and the red crescent truck arrives at the border crossing. i am not allowed to accompany me during journalists are not permitted at the moment to cross into it. but the aid workers have showed me this video from the red crescent it gives an

impression of the scale of their mission. on the outskirts of bombed out syrian cities new tent cities are being built. he said it was like and not all are as tidy as the camp filmed by the drones these images are from the syrian village of very close to the turkish border more than three million people are now living in the province of it house of them have fled fighting in other parts of syria. has returned from his eighth delivery and he says the people there are more optimistic since a feared large scale offensive by the syrian army was for now a very it's a glimmer of hope but no more. we bring our aid supplies into the people there and we leave again but they are always there day and night for them explosions and bomb
12:19 pm
attacks have become a part of their daily reality for the children too that's very hard for me to take let's hope that this fighting truly comes to an end and all these displaced people can return to their cities because. the red crescent sends aid convoys across the border at least four to five times a week. makes his way back to her tie in turkey the next transports need to be prepared. the word anti doping agency vada has voted to lift a ban on russia's anti doping agency the move fades away 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 two thousand and 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. feel assured 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 so she once we learned and it was early days in the investigation yes we were more than surprised. at

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 laporte 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. ok get hundreds even on the return to turkey and gaskin talk about turkey's was thing economic problems turkey on thursday cut its growth forecast in half for this year and next this comes as turkish finance minister there are other rock travels to berlin today carrying some heavier canonic luggage the lira has. plans by forty percent this year over concerns about president out of one's influence on monitor policy and there's also a deep rift with the united states inflation is now above twenty percent and the
