least 70 migrants are now thought to have drowned after leaving northwest libya on thursday their boat capsized near the kenya islands off spock's into his ear that's nice the navy was able to rescue 16 people. from the norwegian refugee council had this reaction it's all of us europeans said responsibility to employ this hemorrhage of human lives in the mediterranean we were shocked that 250 people died crossing the berlin more during a generation of cold war and though we seem to accept $2500.00 or more people dying per year in the mediterranean this is again a sit down verdict of the so-called european civilization we cannot have that happening now is these populist government often say says criticism for its opposition to mass migration it's long pursued a closed port policy and sounds accused of restricting the work of humanitarian

groups on friday 30 people who were rescued were allowed to disembark in lampedusa that's the northernmost point of the star the southernmost point of italy off the other european countries agreed to take them in but it's really promptly sees the rescue vessel on the far right interior minister vini declared in a tweet that this would be the last trip for that ship. risk youth from a sinking ship. an italian boat the mari julio run by a humanitarian charity save them 40 kilometers off the libyan coast. the 30 migrants including 2 pregnant women of 5 children according to the ngo are just a few of the 00s of people who have already attempted to cross the mediterranean this year. according to italy's anti migration deputy prime minister. italy's ports are closed to illegal migrants but these people landing in lampedusa cicely

a lucky italy's prime minister giuseppe conseco allowed the ship to dock tomorrow john you know stuff applaud the migrants but this might have been its last mission . i've spoken to sell vini about the mara journey and we agree on the police seizing the ship. where the ship was already on a warning. this ship is one of the very few rescue ships still in operation in the mediterranean contest said of the european union member states had agreed to take some of these people a sign that the e.u.'s migrant distribution agreements are working albeit on an ad hoc basis although far fewer people are headed to europe than at the peak of migration in 201-5000 still take the perilous journey every month and a summer brings better weather conditions the number of attempted crossings is likely to increase. he is a member of sea watch one of the aid organization operating rescue ships in the

mediterranean thanks so much for joining us today and it's always leadership impounded a charity ship yesterday is it really still realistic for organizations like yours to continue their rescue in the mediterranean has become increasingly more difficult over the past 2 years where there has been a massive kernel version complain and complain of. telling people that we would collaborate with the smugglers in some way but none of this charges have ever proven true in front of a court so we've heard this story before about ships never going on just never going out again from italian politicians and so far also hasn't proven true. although yeah it is increasingly more difficult but on the other hand our ship the sea was 3 was an hour just ruled by cord that is that the book head of the netherlands was unlawful and we are sailing out again very soon to the search and rescue center continue our operations there now the number of people arriving in

europe has dropped dramatically in recent years could one argue that it's least actually doing the right thing by deterring people from an bollocking on what is a very dangerous often a deadly journey well no migration flows act under very difficult laws that is not one policy of one country changing the whole migration flow there are a lot of reasons why people are not going to libya and more why people are choosing other routes why they are not as many people coming at all anymore on the other hand the death rate in the mediterranean so the ratio from people who leave the african shores or even the people who arrive and in europe to those who die on the journey is skyrocket and that skyrocketed in the last 2 years critics of organizations like you will say that you're providing an incentive for migrants to cross the mediterranean what's a response to that well that is totally illogical i mean our organization was

founded because people were dying in the mediterranean people have been dying in the mediterranean since the seventy's since actually the e.u. closed its borders and this continued very open visa regime and started the border regime that we know today with clothing off the borders for than for the. i can only say we have been people have been dying there before we came and people are dying there now that there are almost no rescue ships left in the area and there are lots of more boats in the past couple of days without any rescue ships around christabel ski from see what thanks so much for joining so much fear. the united states is deploying an assault ship and a missile battery to the persian gulf to bolster other military vessels already in the area the u.s. said the move is in response to a possible threat to u.s. forces in the region by around but they didn't specify the nature of that threat iran has just dismissed the claim the new deployed vessels of the u.s.s.

allington which transports marines and conventional landing proff as well as the patriot air defense system they will join the u.s.s. abraham lincoln carrier that's already there. after more we're joined by. by an independent analyst on iran thanks so much for joining us the u.s. claims terror on might be preparing to conduct what it's calling offensive operations against u.s. forces or its interest what evidence is there for this well that there is the claim that there is evidence for it but there is no information given to the media and i really think at this point we all have to be very cautious not to. further employed by it is worse is a moment we're still going to plunge into ships into the region happened early april and we are hearing about a new patriot missile battery that goes into the region just

a couple of i think days or weeks that swirl these countries were taken out of the region so there is a lot of talking going on lot of rhetoric it all to them going to create a situation in which everyone is basically highly concerned about a possible war whereas on the ground it's actually not needed the case ok but obviously there is there is the military that has this activity how much pressure is this exerting on iran. the good thing is on both sides that politicians can always talk but they are military general security this a curious doubtless you know on both sides that has satellite pictures that they have the evidence and they are watching what is actually happening on the ground and they do not fall for sensationalist rhetoric or reporting i'm not saying that you're doing sensationalist reporting but others are and therefore in iran and

that's the point i want to make there is not that much debate about all what we're hearing out of washington today ok iran has also said that it suspending parts of the nuclear deal agreed with $122015.00 what is toronto paying to achieve with this new haven how much support is that for this amongst iranians. well the calculation in tehran whether it will prove to be successful or not is a different question but the calculation is that if we start a calibrated escalation of the situation by pointing out what moves we can take to withdraw gradually from the agreement while emphasizing that you want ones to stay in the agreement then with this clear growth and the other remaining parties of not hostage a c.p.u. a of the nuclear agreement you'll do more in order to safeguard meaning to ensure you more and gets the dividend it is. actually support supposed to get under the

agreement people in iran inside the country have become more critical than ever about the actual value of the nuclear agreement because there is no real outcome form for iran so i guess there has also been internal pressure on the government to basically do something that ties between iran and the us have deteriorated massively but trumps actually said he wants iran to cool him how likely is iran to do that would you say. it is really interesting and important that you point that out because on the one hand you have the national security adviser john bolton you have secretary of state might compare these 2 seem to be reading willing to drink iran into a war or as president trying is not about war we heard his wording during the election campaign he was very critical of the global war on terror and the 7 trillion dollars that the u.s. has and so i really think donald trump with all the weird kind of outreach that he does wants to speak to you are whereas others in his administration do not want

that and that brings to a very awkward situation in which they have to think about well which side of the of this story should we actually believe is the president driving iran policy or others and that's why you're going cannot really respond to this kind about beachwear trump at this morning atlanta time by an independent analyst thank you so much pleasure. all right let's have a look at some of the other stories making news around the world the u.s. says it is prepared to raise tariffs on all remaining chinese imports affecting another $300000000000.00 worth of goods this after a 1st round of terror hikes took effect as negotiations in washington ended with hours of breakthrough china says the 2 sides will continue talks in beijing. scuffles have broken out in home homes legislative assembly pro-democracy and pro beijing lawmakers clashed amid high tensions over
