ledged role in an attempted coup in turkey 3 years later in the summer of 2016 more on this now going to poland dorian jones he is on the story for us in the stamboul good evening to you and we're looking at here we've got a simple prosecutors they've issued a new detention order for. what exactly is going on tonight was very dramatic events yes these terrible prosecutors in a statement said that they had issued at attention for a relation to the failed attempt of 2016 they also said that they were appealing the acquittal of kabala which will be a further blow to his family and supporters many of them are waiting outside the prison expecting to welcome him to freedom after 2 and a half years him trial to tension but with this this the announcement of this prosecutors knew to taint chill older they quickly left the prison and i think with it the initial euphoria of the hope that it is true of these terrible trial and

that the tension that he suffered was coming to an end it now that i think the realisation is that any hope of any early release is starting to fade false and or and do we know is this is this legal that we've seen something like this happen before where suddenly you have the possibility of new charges in connection with something that you know that happened 4 years ago when charges should have been filed then. well absolutely and in fact in very high profile cases the world and their world are right actually we're now a writer at all times he was released by a court. within hours of new tension alter was issued and he was kept in prison and he still remains in prison to this day and also the another very high profile case the leader of turkey's main former leader of turkey's main party . again he was released following the european court of human rights ruling calling

for his release and again a new to take release and he's still in prison today and i think that this will be a great deal of concern for a couple of because this does seem to be a pattern especially of these very high profile cases in particular cases where president has voiced very strong views in support of the prosecution we have seen when they are acquitted and again new orders are released and they are. back into jail and what does this tell us then about the independence of the turkish justice system dorton. well president will always insist the judiciary is independent but it has to be said there has been is growing concern in turkey a human rights organizations and also internationally and particularly from the european union which have been watching particularly this case of this was a very important case. as

a key watershed moment for the whether it was able to establish a new independence there have been some cases in the last few months of high profile people being released there was hope that this case would be another benchmark given what has happened this will only fuel those critics who say that the judicial remains under the control of president. from. thank you very much. well one of the biggest challenges facing europe is how to manage the flow of migrants many of them undertaking perilous journeys from sub-saharan africa to libya and across the mediterranean rescue ships operated by charities and other n.g.o.s patrol the coast off of libya but still many migrants are drilling the w.'s mia drugs who are joined to one of those rescue ships and he sent us this exclusive report. from the deck of the rescue ship ocean viking nicholas romaniuk is scanning the sea for

a boat with migrants on board. the ocean viking is about 130 kilometers off the libyan coast that means it's in international waters. we have a look for a possible what a boat with knives or acts of war. if you have a visual border control pilots are in radio contact. the border patrol is searching the area with small aircraft a helicopter has they say they think the spotted the migrants boat going to people on the free. iraqi. or. the migrants boat is now clearly visible. for. rescue doing is all ready to be deployed tom he is one of the most

experienced stuff when it comes to see rescues even though he tells his colleagues what he knows about the refugees so fun. on the mission begins. can you put your like that could mean that we can afford. to rescue doing is set off for the migrants by along with the ship in some ports and it's not to rush this pond. operation to take time to assess the situation. that the wooden migrant boat is overloaded with $84.00 passengers all young men. well into that they might stand up and become agitated and to pose for the boat is a big concern. that's why the 1st thing they are getting a life vests. for the way it will take 3 trips back and forth to get all the migrants on board the

ocean floor and keep. most of them are from bangladesh morocco and somalia where the few from algeria and the gambia 21 are under 18 years old they came along without parents all relatives. and. well i know that. the migrants are also addressed in arabic and other languages every single person will be examined by the doctors. there with the dangerously i've got it. with a bit like you know where there is crime and what's left now let's look at the lot of business if you start thinking about that the people but it's often come to them that that might difficult in my minds about the times in banking but i live my life in my. career so weak but now say happy

a concern with people have been at sea for extended periods of time. with many complaining with a case and body paint and you've been talking to these migrants what stories have. been able to share with you how they ended up on a rescue boat in the mediterranean. well we've just arrived just now or 2 ago from from the last rescue operation so i had the chance to talk one or 2 of them but at the 1st mention that we had 2 rescue operations today one in their early morning local time just after sunrise and the 2nd operation in the late afternoon local time so to record a rescue operation that was totally different in the morning we had an oily sea as they say here on the ocean by that means no waste almost no wings 84 people on a wooden boat were rescued 40 percent of them came from. gambia and algeria the 2nd

operation was completely different the weather changed during the date with strong wind waves that proximately 898 survivors from sub-saharan africa and most of them out from nigeria ghana as senegal just booked into a 24 year old man from morocco and you know how he ended up on the boat and he said you know he would like to work in germany as a baker has some friends and yes some friends some braman and do we know what will happen if. it's. well this is really a great question i've spoken to nicholas. assessment on the who is in charge of the rescue search and rescue operation here on board and he told me that the ocean biking will probably continue to petrol course in international waters off the coast of libya i think we have to be ready to see more rescue operations in the
