board the ship. and let's bring in christian booga he's the director of the safe seas network on maritime security christian even following this spill closely any say the island wasn't prepared for such a disaster that it should have been why is that the go. this. moshe's is very close to one of the main shipping lanes and the government did know that something that is occurred most received quite substantial capacity building assistance almost over the years and only in march this year there was another workshop on oil spill prevention where the country argues that it would be prepared also in 2016 only 4 years ago there was a very very similar event happening there was an accident with the ship almost in the same location back then most was lucky no major oil spill occurred but the

country didn't learn lessons from that event and prepare for the next disaster and that brought us to this if you. know ok so they didn't learn from the last as us about how could they have prepared benefit this disaster well to start with they didn't have the appropriate equipment in place the containment equipment was not it was not there. it is also a question of whether the company that was hired a salvage company reacted in the right way and. whether the oil spill contingency plan actually works and was used as intended if it's ok so he's saying that this could have been prevented but then how do you mean his response to the spill. well they have these 2 dimensions here the 1st one couldn't be accident in itself it could have been prevented

a collision avoidance and we know know it. could have reacted earlier and then secondly we also need to ask the question how government cooperate with the salvage company what's the reaction fast enough what was it really only the bad weather that made all of the difference here and this cost for an independent investigation into the accident that looks into the role of all parties and whether they have reacted actually in a appropriate way and what of the disaster could have actually been avoided. christian bring it to rector of the same network on maritime security thanks very much for. well let's bring you up to date now with some of the latest developments in the coronavirus pandemic the world health organization is sounding the alarm after the number of new infections hit an all time high according to the

face by munich in the champions league semifinals. to discuss the game and the champions league final for we're joined by chris harrington curs so i guess not a result that many were expecting just how did manchester city lose 2 underdogs lay off before we talk about blame let's give them credit where it's due you know they kept their streak alive of never being defeated by the english club they won a tactical mission you know they won the tactical play you have to give a lot of credit to their head man you have garcia the ability the press we saw that you know proved successful for leo and then the man of the match the superset you know. debbie leahy said after the match it's very difficult to come in off the bench but you have to stay ready and you know it proved successful as well you know is magical in leon did really have a reason to be there they were 7 domestically when lake ah was called so they're

clearly punching above their weight right now they feel like they are a top club in terms of blame pep guardiola unconventional formation you know benching some of his key players you know obviously certain players like why him sterling didn't show up he has an a k 47 tattoo on his leg left to reload that before he enters a european pitch again pep had more to say after the defeat let's take a listen and we are. we are good but it was not enough so the distance is sometimes the chances we meet is enough to even see the goals. it's were it is so maybe one day we're going to break this despite of the quarter finals we are not able to do it dominant it with incredible guys to do it we are going to try in the future we create a lot but we make one of 2 mistakes in this competition the social heart and top of the season again with tottenham. yes so there we've heard you know the reasoning

and one thing he did obviously gave credit to leo as well and he didn't complain there was a controversial v.a.r. decision that allowed you know the franchise goal to stand and he didn't really you know quarrel about that because he didn't want to have that perception of being a complaining manager like he said in the past but not just on the spend a lot of money signing could play isn't that this hasn't same to take them past the quarterfinals what's the problem yeah you're right you know man city has bred tons of it in the last decade they spent over a 1000000000 you know but it's always about the players showing up to perform you know when the pressure is immense you know as it was and that always you know doesn't equal weight that way have choreo is always talked about how difficult it is to win the champions league he even you know the one he's won he was inherited a great team you know messi. in yes you know these players and he agrees with

people say that's why he won it's a very difficult competition and then money sometimes does result in getting to the next stage p.c.p.'s g p s d spends a lot of money as well and they've arrived in the semifinal the curse that man city is currently trying to break under pep guardiola regiment of rain i guess it moving on from that german and french teams are now facing off this is you know facing off in the semi's is that a good thing for the tournament do you think it will it's showing changes to 1st time you know since the u.a.e. for champions league started with that branding that there has not been an english spanish or italian club in the semifinals so you know that speaks to the strength you know the farmers league is what a lot of people would call league ah so you know obviously it's the 1st time in history to print sides have been in the semifinals you have to give them credit you know for that and then more interestingly 3 of the coaches are german coaches you know so when you look at that that gives a bit of increased value to all of the young coaches coming up through the ranks

right now even last season club was a german coach won it so chances are german coach will be successful i don't think it will comes out to a french 1st french or german verse german final is good because obviously that alienates your international audience because harrington thanks very much you can. this is day to me news from len i'm rebecca red is now back at the top of the out with the latest finale from 8 am the tank thanks very much watching. they've been robbed of their soul that's what a people experiences when they're taken from them. countless cultural riches were brutally stolen from africa and carted off to europe by colonialists. each artifact has blood on it from loans that have yet to heal.
