but they say it could take days to bring it to the surface in so south korea's president announced they were sending a rapid response team to budapest. hungary. our government will work closely with the hungaroring government to investigate the cause of the accident for the child's correlated departments to do their best to support the victims and their families. the south korean travel agency which hired the boat apologized but also defended the decision to conduct the tour despite the bad weather. customs and one of boarded the cruise boats for the past night and. at the time above the water level was high but other crews or it's operating is usual not just. with. south korea's foreign ministry says the

passengers were not wearing life jackets the youngest on board was reportedly a 6 year old girl hungary and authorities have launched a criminal investigation into the routine sightseeing trip which turned into a tragedy straight to budapest. correspondent. on the banks of the danube welcome staff and please press up to date on the rescue. very very desperate i can tell you they have so far not found any survivors and of course at least 7 people already confirmed deaths. people. injured but at least a life. 20 people. very little. people are saying. and. very difficult.

it's still raining but i can tell you during the whole. boring rain that has been doing tonight of course sent. very strong that makes it. difficult. to rescue workers to. ration. to. the situation remains very dire and indeed. this was. presumably a very busy stretch of the river. well indeed it happens a new york market bridge where i'm standing now just

a few media behind me huge ship coalition took place between the boat and huge cruise ship and that's happened between 2 to breach here behind me and of course what happened last at least in a few seconds literally that whole boat came down and you can imagine the water was cold people were of course desperate hanging on to whatever they have that's not enough and many many are believed to have died and of course the question has been race now how does what's possible. looking into possible failure or mistake by the by the captain and also they are of course looking into the fact that a lot of ships are moving into danube river i mean it's quite a pull pillar way for tourists questions remain how this will be in the future.

thank you. actually some of the other stories making news around the world an algerian man charged with setting off aipac i package bomb in the french city of leo has told investigators he pledged allegiance to the islamic state jihad his group he was arrested along with other family members in what's being treated as a terrorist attack the explosion last week wounded 13 people. u.n. secretary general antonio cherish has been awarded the annual charlemagne prize and reward better honors those who promote working with a jury in the german city after they selected him for his work in reviving protocol gratian. japan has condemned what it calls into russia's increasing military presence on islands claimed by both countries since world war 2 comments came during talks in tokyo between seeing the japanese and russian ministers russian foreign minister sergei lavrov insisted his country had a right to conduct military activities on the archipelago. and austrian president

alexander found the ballot was named constitutional judgeship to get to be alive as the country's interim chancellor dr b. aligned will lead a caretaker government until snap elections scheduled for september is thought likely that the interim government won't pass any major legislation and she's a strong stressed 1st female chancellor replaces sebastian and replaces conservative sebastian courts who lost the confidence vote after his coalition and ups. let's go to correspondent steve shade in the austrian capital vienna welcome state tell us more about austria's new chancellor. well as you just touched on there dr a brigade to be alone was until now the 1st woman to serve as the president of austria has constitutional court who is she she is a sprightly 70 year old whose politics are thought to be center right she has no formal party affiliation and her appointment was reached upon consensus that's very

important because if it had not been reached on consensus we could have looked forward to another no confidence vote. more about her a very impressive resume austria's 1st woman chancellor finished law school in just 4 years she became a judge at 26 a state attorney at 28 and an advocate general just a few years after that so highly qualified for the post so she has the job but now how she appointed the cabinet. we know to have her appointment so far we know that our claimants are blown i will be serving as vice chancellor he is also a former head of the constitutional court and alexandre shaalan idiotic a career diplomat will be austria's new interim foreign minister as well as a very importantly the minister for european affairs to other states pairs of hands going forward there the rest of the cabinet appointments that will be finding out about in the coming days and this is where i am a very important term that's been thrown around 5 presidents fundamental and and to

be aligned today is a government of trust that's what she hopes to find in the cabinet that's what she hopes to present to the president and the country in the days to come on once of the full machine and some of us about how does losing the chance of a ship affect his chances for reelection in september. it certainly doesn't help and today is a point that was interesting that were really doesn't help him at all either because the landscape has changed the appointment of a woman as austria's 1st chancellor it's a new paradigm for this country it shows how this country can look and let's be honest about what there's no confidence vote was about when the social democrats in the freedom party teamed up. to oust him and his government they wanted to deny chancellor this so-called chancellor bonus as he campaigns for september so the chancellor bonus is gone now there's a very qualified woman in his place he seems far far away from the prestigious

chancellery the landscape is totally different. steve shade in vienna thank you you're watching t.w. news live from burma and still to come the mexican mothers searching for their children in a country where drugs cartels disappear thousands of people every year not just and we often corrupt police families afford to take matters into their own hands and sometimes devastating results. had a vast german chancellor angela merkel is being honored by one of the world's most prestigious universities harvard university has awarded her its doctorate of laws degree. will oversee the the creature in a ceremony on campus in cambridge massachusetts is also due to give the university's commencement speech in less than 3 i will bring them to la. for us that will join d.w.b. washington bureau trees chief. outside harvard university welcome out xander why

did they choose chancellor merkel. well we have to say that she is here among friends and many people who admire and respect her and when the announcement was made the president of the university said in a statement that angle on merkel is one of the most whites of the at my art and influential states people of all worth times that her leadership has done much to shape the course of her nation and the course so these were very flattering words even more flattering what studio the university put together to announce americal and this as this year's commencement speaker let's have a look at the speech. it's

very hollywood for a woman who's become known for being understated to what's going to happen today. so the 1st part of the ceremonies is over right now the morning exercises the actual graduation ceremony was a very traditional song but also a very cheerful ceremony at the end of this ceremony and merkel was awarded it and on the road the doctor off last agree and the whole theater where the ceremony was

taking place stood up and applauded and she was praised her for her devotion to science but also for her leadership she was praised as a leader who is committed to democrat democratic ideals and common values and i talked to students here who told me how impressed they are acquired merkel heard by by a group of our lives the fact that she grew up in east germany and then became a chancellor of the united germany and they also told me that they respect her they see her as a role more there and they are looking forward to what they believe to be a memorable speech were merkel will be holding this year as commencement speech later this afternoon and this is the chance of likely to talk about the transatlantic relationship during that speech. i think so we can expect to

talk about it's especially at this moment in time the relationship is quite strained so we have with donald trump you asked president who is calling for who is accusing germany in particular take it bench and adventure taking advantage of the u.s. and the u.s. economy so we definitely can expect that melkor is going to talk about the transatlantic relationship but i would expect her to rather concentrate on the positive shoes come one values we sure or ways to bridge problems gaps but so we have to mention that normally you would expect a german chancellor who is visiting the you asked to meet with the u.s. president this is not going to happen this time according to german diplomats this is due to scheduling problems but of course this is something that you normally

would expect both leaders to meet well they're busy people some truth or not going to harvard university in the united states thank you. and of course we'll bring you live coverage of the chancellor the harvard commencement speech which is due to start in about 2. to latin america now the region of the world with the highest number of forced disappearances official figures estimate that about 200000 people have disappeared in the last 2 decades so that is likely to be an underestimate the country with the most missing people is colombia where more than 100000 thought to have disappeared during 50 years of conflict civil war in guatemala also led to tens of thousands of disappearances since the end of the conflict in 1996 the country has been criticized for failing to bring those responsible to justice. argentina on the other hand has been praised for the way it

has handled its past during the years of dictatorship that's 976 to 983 security forces abducted about 30000 people government and military leaders have since faced trial. and so to mexico where the war between the drug cartels is now one of the main causes of death i'm listing international puts a number of missing and more than 34000 and the u.n. says about 30 percent of those are children or adolescents the w.'s marielle buller has been to meet a group of mothers who spend their days searching for their disappeared children. that man amedee finally found her missing son after he disappeared without a trace 5 years ago. during the n o one day he was selling cell phone accessories as usual and he was just kidnapped at a gas station because my son was disappeared in the off thirty's did look for him i

started my own search local police were no help she says but there was no surprise ordinary police officers are suspected of frequent collaboration with the drug cartels. manama dina started to search with this simple tool that helps detect the scent of decaying corpses beneath the soil. over time other mothers looking for their missing children and jointer they call themselves less that often have gotten us the trackers they relentlessly entirely as the search for traces of their missing children that treasures as i lovingly refer to them they can't believe they're dead until they have proof and that's exactly what their motto says they will scout a as they got that out of their search for you until i find you. for many women here this has become their sole mission the search often turns up the bones and skeletons in. the women's findings on this day become the top story for mexican journalists now the stench of rotting corpses is overwhelming me time and again the

mothers of the disappeared are confronted with a tormenting question could this body be my child let me go out of the mythology to look at me got a hold it feels like my heart wants to jump right out of my body. i'm shaking my ears or my heart oh yeah i think i'm glad and sad at the same time because i don't know if it's my son or her son not the thing now that all's come in the end it doesn't matter we're looking for them because we love them. man i mean dina and her group have already found nearly 500 bodies according to local media many of the disappeared a believed to have had ties to the drug trade victims are often young men who had no prospects for legal employment minima dina and the other mothers found the remains of 15 people on a single day neighbors who had observed suspicious activity gave them crucial tips on where to dig the search missions are

a provocation to the drug cartels policing the him who was caught they tell us we should stop looking if it is proper otherwise the same thing will happen to us that we're going to then one day someone else will find us buried good and mike we're scared but love and the uncertainty are stronger i mean i said. it took 3 years for a man amid enough to find her son at last she says he can rest in peace. the report from the correspondent who joins me now. why does the tonsils disappear these young people well in the mexican state of sinaloa i have met these very impressive mothers the cartel reigns supreme which is the most powerful brute the most brutal drug cartel in mexico. and also it was once led by the notorious chapo guzman which is now in an american prison so you have to know that the scenario

a cartel has infiltrated all levels of private and public life. meaning for example if a young man searching for a job in a region where there are not good job prospects and he gets in touch with the drug cartel and then he works for them he doesn't get paid much. he actually gets paid with drugs and then if he doesn't deliver the way he is expected to deliver he disappears also if you work in a bank or in a small business or even at a police station and your boss is somehow you know in touch with the drug cartel meaning he's may be forced to pay protection money or if he is you know earning some extra pesos from the cartel then and you want to report that you disappear also as a local journalist if you cover drug crimes and you publish names it is a fair case of every level of society and we saw in the report that even the mothers so if you for their children they're in danger yes they are actually they

are i mean i mean that's very dangerous for them because actually from the cartel it's seen as a provocation you know that's the again this the searching of the bodies. they are they are and then they always have like an imminent threat that they could come back so this very day when i filmed with them at this they found 15 bodies and they didn't even you know it was not only skeletons it was also a very fresh corpse was which was lying there for maybe 2 weeks that means. and also minimal you know she told me that on this very day they received a direct threat concerning one member of her group saying if this member of the group doesn't leave the scene something could happen and luckily that nothing happened because the person left but these kind of threats happen on a regular basis for them and that's also why men i mean always has a personal bodyguard with them so. when they do find a bodyguard presumably the others don't trust the police to investigate this properly yes that's true they don't trust them at all the local police i have to

emphasize actually a local reporter who is working in this field and off almost 30 years told me that she would guess 90 percent of the local police are actually corrupt and they're working for and with the drug cartels. and so the mothers obviously know that and they also know how their sons disappear in the 1st place because most of the times there are police officers coming to their houses telling the families your son did this and that so i will take in no arrest him and bring him to the police station but it never gets there so he never gets there he is handed over to the drug cartel is being killed and buried somewhere so when least paul would find a body how do they go about identifying yes i mean whether it is a child so actually this group from which founded minimal you know founded they have gathered donations and they have

a laboratory in another city of seattle and they send you know the pieces of the skeleton they send there and then it gets identified so actually they managed to identify the vast majority of the bodies they found and this is in you know finally the only thing that they want that they search for and that they you know they wait for years that they finally have a place where they can warn their children sad story but thank you for bringing that to thank you thank you. now to south africa where president ceramic pose a has presented his new cabinet the country's 1st balanced capital with 50 percent women the cabinet was for the ceremony in pretoria the president to trim the number of ministers to 28 down from 36 and moved to streamline the government fighting corruption is the main issue facing the. party's election when this month was the weakest and its 25 years in power. creatures in

cape town following the inauguration and his his assessment the cabinet announcement received mixed reactions here in south africa president was praised for the gender equality 50 percent of the ministers are women he was also praised for reducing the number of ministers from 36 to 28 although at the same time he increased the number of deputy minister the president also decided to leave some controversial party members out of the cabinet like the former minister of woman who is accused of mismanaging government funds but at the same time the president said that those who were left out of the cabinet will be able to help the government in other rules and this to many south africans does not sound like the strict fight against corruption that the president initially promised he also decided to reappoint deputy president david once again who is actually also

facing allegations for corruption and money laundering as well as public enterprises minister gordon who the public protector says should face disciplinary actions for improper conduct the opposition party of the economic freedom fighters even goes as far as to say that this cabinet is a declaration of war. kreis reporting to football and chelsea all the new europa league champions after an impressive press of display against arsenal in the old english final olivier giroud gave chelsea the lead in the 2nd half before even hostage sealed the deal scoring twice the dash assholes hopes for the final school the new and outside the olympic stadium in john's capital back coolest festive the chelsea fans were over the moon that is the blues one that info fade in 7 years. i says day dubliners out liar liar from the other end his reminder of our top
