before going right back to where it started. the beloved in bella, rizzi and airlines flight from minsk to barcelona, never reached its final destination. it was forced to return to minsk after polish officials told the pilot he may not be allowed to enter french es face . on monday the european union agreed to ban beller as airlines from its skies. the measure is among sanctions imposed after bela was forced to place to land and means the aircraft was carrying dissident reman practice. savage was arrested upon arrival. he is seen here in this alleged confession video with what appeared to be bruises on his face. his supporters believe he was tortured store, isn't there a gene get a free speech of the tree and above all,

it targets people who tell the truth and blog is the 1st to be ask you to during the mass repression that began last year. could you please take a personal good one. you are asleep. alexander lucas. shank, his rude or the country for 27 years. don't deny the claim was rerouted in order to capture protest, savage. he maintains that a bomb threat was the reason the plane was told to land the crack down on dissidents intensified after the last presidential election, which was widely regarded to the rate. it triggered mass protests. more than 35000 people have been arrested since they began as people around the world demand, precious savings is released morning march for political activists told us rock who died in custody a week ago. his cause of death was listed as a heart attack, but his reader believes he was murdered. there are many variations hoping to change

the cost of fighting for it remains high. well, sanctions against bell roots are set to dominate discussions as you foreign ministers meet in portugal today. you leaders have already agreed on a set of sanctions, including banning beller airlines from you. aerospace d w. bank legal is covering this story and joins us now from lisbon. but what does all this mean for air travel in europe? the more and more international carriers and avoiding and to fly over most of them from western europe. that means that tele, ross does earn less money with overflow drive, so they earned about 1500000 years a week from 3000 over flights. so this would be gone, but this is not a big effect on the budget in beta roots. and on the other hand, airlines from better as a band. now, more and more and more, you countries,

that means that reaching and traveling from better roads becomes more difficult also for dividends. and people who want to leave the country actually have to go to ukraine or russia now. but the, the airline dispute is not the biggest measure that you will take, the foreign ministers are talking about sectoral sanctions against the whole part of the economy in bella routes, for example, the wood industry or the cement industry, or as other industry that that would really hurt better, but the you is not there yet. the list is not prepared and not all for me. this is actually that this with the bypass international organizations around the world scrambling to react to the international civil aviation organization as meeting today. they're expected also be talking about better ruth. we expect them to take any action this organization cannot take action. actually,

they can maintain the claim of the you that this was a kind of piracy, this falls. lending of an ryan f like in men's. and they can say that was a violation of a treaty, a convention from the 1944. but this counselor has no means extra to enforce its ruling. if you want to, this has to be done by country they have to apply sanctions. and you will not rely on this united nations body. it's more a political question then a legal question. i'm talking about the united nation. some are hoping that the un security council will do some thing to deal with the situation in bella rule, not just this ation incident, but that seems unlikely, given russia's support for men's, this is then put more pressure on you to deal with what's happening in better rates than 40 minutes, as we talk here about the why the picture is not only about bella was it's about

the role of russia in the region and all of these frozen conflicts that frustrates involved in, in ukraine, in georgia, and also in moldova, and as a by john, a transmission to name a few. and you're still looking for a strategy, how to tech a this, how to put pressure on russia, how to talk to russia. and the german foreign minister just said, we have to talk to us despite of all things that are happening because we need russia actually on board to resolve these issues. there's no easy way out here. and russia is of course, the just ally of bella. ruth, so you have to see them both in the same the same. do you? bam, thank you very much. that was our correspondent, bent legal in lisbon say live some of the other stories make headlines around the world today. you, as president joe biden has ordered intelligence officials to deliver a new report on the origins of the covered 19th pandemic within 90 days. the call

comes amid ongoing controversy over suggestions that the virus could have originated in a chinese laboratory. at least 8 people have been killed in a mass shooting in san jose, california authorities say a man believe to be a transport worker opened fire at a city rail yard. other employees were among the victims, the suspect died at the scene. and a court in the netherlands has ordered oil company, royal dutch shell, to reduce its carbon emissions by 45 percent by 2030. the case could set the stage for similar legal action against major energy firms around the world. people have begun fleeing the city of goma in the eastern democratic republic of congo after authorities more and further are options from a nearby volcano were possible near a gong volcano erupted last weekend, spewing a lava and causing earth tremors. prompted thousands to evacuate the city

or the 150 people are feared to have drowned in northwest jury after a ferry boat sank on the niger river. around 165 people are believed to have been on board. when the boat capsized. it was traveling from central new york state to state when witnesses say it broken to pieces and sank bullets head straight over to lagos. now for the latest, our correspondent fred maloney is standing. bother fred, what more can you tell us about the rescue effort? do authorities think they have any chance of pulling any more people alive from the water tell you they turn says to put more people with according to officials from that in the states. their way of saying that this is, this is unlikely because the incident happened. this accident happened yesterday i

called the local time and they be the people on the ward time. so the chances of getting them i've it's the almost impossible. that's why did he say, he said no petition. went on until midnight and then they talked i'm the started that gave me this morning coping to hoping that they can get more bodies from the water. now the boat was apparently overcrowded when it's saying, is that likely the main cause that's why the fish paying because this more no money should cut around a 100 people. but we understand that the number was more than more than double some numbers. some of the newspapers are saying 200 people saying more than 100 them,

but they sent officials count 165 women. and the kids who were on these boards going to a market so definite of their thing. that's the main cause for the fact that the board was overloaded and not only people, but also even some of some of the things that they were taking to the market. we also board so definitely that's one of the reasons, but also another one is that what these boards are they all these kinds of accidents, these boat accidents or not, but uncommon unfortunately in nigeria could authorities be doing more to prevent them. yeah. obviously people are saying that there weren't a transport transport, police issue and what the issue should walk or need and try to see what they can change. because no one who wants to do business in water transport. they just go

there and do eat and they have on board. there are no safety measures and officials bad control days. so that's why fred, thank you so much. good to see you again. by the way. that was our correspondence. fred, move on, you in leg off. a powerful sy clone has slammed into eastern india, killing several people enforcing the evacuation of more than a 1000000. thousands of emergency personnel been deployed to help with rescue efforts. the storm hit just one week after another psych loan killed at least 155 people in western india the, the weight of the ocean crashing into india's shoreline. with wave after wave pushing in from the bay of been gall water was soon pouring inlet cycling. yas made landfall with gusts of over 150 kilometers per hour,
