it's clear. to me sixty. three d. don't. you. think. this is you know really was life for a girl in disaster strikes on africa's biggest lake more than one hundred twenty people have drowned after a ferry capsized on lake victoria in tanzania scores of people are still missing and officials fear that does that toll will rise also coming up the controversy that just won't quit there german government agrees to new talks to revisit the

fate of the former domestic intelligence chief all that's after his removal and subsequent promotion prompted the widespread outrage and a large scale fires sparked by military rockets houses threatening to german towns putting thousands of residents at risk but their worries are telling people get ready to evacuate. well mark thank you so much for your company everyone tanzania has declared four days of national mourning following a deadly ferry accident on lake victoria more than one hundred thirty people are reported to have died after the boat capsized there are conflicting reports about just how many passengers were on board some say the ferry was carrying up to. four

hundred people rescue efforts are still underway but hopes of finding more survivors are fading the country's president has now ordered the arrest of the operator. alright for the very latest on the situation correspondent catherine wando joins me now from nairobi catherine it's believed many people are still missing what more have you learned well so far the number that we're being given is at least two hundred people still missing and as recovery the recovery mission continues because that now the navy's now calling into recovery mission a not really rested mission and as they continue to retrieve bodies they say that they don't expect to find anyone alive from here on out over one hundred bodies have been recovered but this is in light of president john mclaughlin he gave a statement and also tend to remain calm as investigations and launched into that

incident i can you tell us a bit more about the cause of this tragedy what are officials telling you well local officials say that the cause of this particular tragedy was overloading of the ferry the ferry has a capacity of one hundred people but it was carrying. away more than that now the numbers of puts between three hundred to four hundred local media there in tanzania put some put the number to up to five hundred so this ferry with the capacity of one hundred people was carrying more than its capacity in people and also cargo and mentioned you know heavy bags of cement so that was the main cause of the of the incident according to local authorities a caravan of course what's so mind boggling is that this is the third major ferry disaster for tanzania why does this keep happening. basically a dairy to regulations of overloading and they are regulations on how much

a ferry can take and how much you can put on board but implementation down on the ground seems to be one thing this is what happens in most of the cases that happened in the two incidences off the island of zanzibar where in two thousand and sixteen at least one hundred forty five people died it's the same case that happened in two thousand and sixteen still in december in lake victoria where a boat capsized with twenty people on board so. that's that's basically what what what's being said. catherine and closing are authorities are putting measures now into place to improve safety on the waters well as much as they are they really are trying in that in terms of the government and it kept it keeps its ferries maintained this particular ferry had been maintained in the last two months it had gone through maintainance it had its engines overhauled so it really that

was the initial force that it was a failure of maintainance that it wasn't this this boat was up to par in terms of that so that's what the times and government is doing is trying to maintain its ferries but also now it's a matter of making sure that those who had got tickets don't hand out more than the ferry can bear aren't catherine and wonder what reporting there are on the latest of the ferry disaster in tanzania thank you so much for the update. in a surprising turn of events germany's party leaders have agreed to take another look at the controversial decision to reshuffle the former head of the domestic intelligence agency this week as you may recall hans garrett mohsen was removed from his supposed after he made controversial comments about far right violence in the eastern town of chemists but his proper motion to a higher position in the interior ministry sparked an outcry from the conservatives coalition partner. let's take a listen to what social democrat leader andrea novice had to say their good deeds

and i put on tuesday the three party leaders made a joint decision that met with widespread public disapproval insistence in the. us we did not create confidence we lost confidence in the arm for throne for a law on all three of us were wrong. this ng been assured that is why i approached ms merkel and mr z. who for today and suggested that we reconsider this decision. let us say because we cannot tell the public that germany's domestic intelligence chief mohsen must on the one hand step down. but on the other hand be promoted to secretary of state in mr z. who for his ministry in front is. all right and the political correspondent thomas sparrow a has been tracking our reactions to this developing story thomas is this

a case of buyer's remorse well in a way to is because this has just become one of those surreal decisions in recent german political history and i think that's something that was met with condemnation here in germany also met with some people's image didn't understand what was happening and why that decision why that compromise was reached between the three members of the german grand coalition how it is possible that mr moxon who according to for example the social democrats should have been fired was actually promoted and put into a different position this created a lot of criticism also plenty of jokes here in political. also created as mrs knowledge said a problem of trust and a problem of trust within the german voters that is also being reflected in some polls so that explains why now the three leaders of the grand coalition have decided to revisit their decision to try to find a better one if that all possible at this point so for that reason that you

mentioned there because it was a tough sell all three party leaders quickly agree to these new talks. well essentially yes because they obviously realize that it was the wrong decision at the wrong time germany has been in a political crisis for quite some time now it has been absolutely evident just how divided the grand coalition is and this decision that was supposed to be a solution that was supposed to solve at least some of those differences just created more problems and more public condemnation and so that's the reason why all three party leaders agreed to a nice sit down again and revisit their decision it's obviously a big question what decision will come now after the how to read it reached one decision a few days ago aren't interesting one eighty there are thomas sparrow reporting thank you know what i'd like to get you caught up now with some of the other stories making news around the world. british prime minister theresa may says that briggs that talks with the european union are now stalled she also called that
