and italian officials said the vessel had sent out from the western turkish point of port is made several days ago. journalists, c, c, my group to is in rhyme earlier. she told me more about how the tragedy unfolded. well, from what we understand the coast guard and the officials, the authorities got the phone call the early hours of the morning. someone calling for help. that way you had the helicopter motor boat, the fire fighters for the police, as well as the co started for region to find survivors. unfortunately, they did find many bodies. as you mentioned, at least $59.00 bodies in total. so far they were found in the sea, all washed up on the sea side, on the beach go to town, or 2 others were found in by as well. so out of the field, so that have been recovered

a lot from 20 of them in local hospitals. and we don't know the exact number of people on board. it ranges anything from $150.00 to $250.00 on, on board, depending on the accounts of the survivors of women and children. though among those who are killed, we do know also from local reports that at least one person has been taken into custody. having been identified by the survivors as being the smuggler. now the prime minister, georgia maloney, expressing a deep sorrow at this tragedy. blaming squarely the smugglers, the people smugglers. the traffic was saying that they're the ones who are benefiting for the price of a ticket to bring these people on this incredibly dangerous journey. and this is what happens. the tragedy that we've seen all to off again the mediterranean for francis also saying that he would be praying for the victims during his angela's romance,

the vatican today. sima. what do we know about the people who were on board? well, what we do know is, as you mentioned, that this boat left the touch turkish coastal city of from 3 to 4 days ago. they both with 20 meters long, a wooden bolts that was destroyed. and we know that they came from countries such as a gun is done, park is done as well as iran. now the president said martha rella making a point of this fact that many of the people on this boat were leaving already difficult condition in their own country. and he called on the european union to do more to a few concrete responsibility. he put it to manage this my great re phenomena seem to you mentioned ga maloney, just a little while ago. this tragedy of course come just days after the italian government led by her push through a new law that affix migrate risky is what can you tell us about that? yes,

the right wing government of georgia maloney saying very much since they came into par that they wanted to clamp down on what they tell me illegal migration. so this law has just come into play. so what it does really, it curves and restricts the work that is carried out by n g o is running the migrant rescue ship. that help the people find themselves in this difficult situation. when the ships that they're traveling on the boat that they're traveling on capsized or function no longer, they've ordered them to catch these migrants or rescue the migrants, but bring them to very distant ports in italy, restricting and preventing the kind of work that they do. the rescue workers say that they are preventing them from carrying out important what they talent government says, well, these rescue ships, i encouraging people to make this dangerous journey. and the u. n. says this act of this law is actually going against international law to carry out these rescue mission. in the meantime though,

we're seeing these or awful tragedies take place at sea with so many people dying, making this dangerous journey, date, journalist seeming to reporting it from right. thank you. same to your cry. now we're fighting is intensifying in the east between rushes, mercenary, wagner, group and ukrainian forces. wagner claims it's taking over villages around the key city of back. moved by ukraine says the religious remain under caves control these villagers have a tough top, the protecting mood. and it is, i don't it from moscow's little offensive. they know, and they have to fight for every bit of the land blood on them. and at the moment were firing at enemy infantry in the open records were eliminating the wagner group, which constantly attacks or positions on them before march were holding off their attacks. that's all we're working against. infantry recording.

the relentless russian shelling in blackmore has destroyed most of the buildings. a city known for its salt and dip from mines, was once home to 80000 residence. it's that goes down now in one of the buildings. these euclidean soldiers are taking shelter from the russian bombing. google, if you will, will look up beautiful. the city was, look how well develop the infrastructure of the city was, see what they've done to it. and in, and this is not the only city both. now background has become a strong hold. i'm never to and i wish they would break their teeth trying to chew it. a little girl. the back for back more is the longest running, and bloodiest in rushes was on. you grain. it sculpture. good. give russia

a foot hoyt in that the next region. and it's 1st thing the 2nd victory and months with the head of freshest militia, buckner group. yet gainey be crushing claims if for theft captured a village in north of baltimore, in eastern ukraine. and dis, foot did release by russia. big russian if seen near the front line in baltimore, a heap curve has been fully taken under our control. wagner group regiments, fully control bear. he's co. oh. but deep if adamant it's forces i standing there ground despite rushes constant attacks. well, russian president vladimir putin has claim that ukraine's allies planning to dismantle russia in an interview. it on state t. v on sunday western countries have dismissed this hootin said russia had no

choice but to take into account nato's nuclear capabilities. then he also accused nato members of taking part in russia's conflict by donating arms to keith. earlier i asked he w, russia, analyst, constantine, hey, get in vilnius. what printed meant when he said russia cannot ignore nato's nuclear capability? frankly speaking, i don't think he means anything in particular, of putin has been ploy. and by the way, this is, this is a truism of banality to say that because of course, a amy nuclear arms country has to take into account. what are the nuclear on countries alliances do? i mean, it's ridiculous to a claim otherwise. so essentially it's a seemingly meaningful statement with this kind of subtle threats. but in fact, it doesn't mean that women is developing new nuclear weapons. it doesn't mean that within is going to to, to try to restart nuclear tests. it doesn't mean even that fusion is really serious

about quitting the or the arms reduction treaties from recently he froze or suspended rushes participation in start. but this is in fact a changing nothing so far. oh, so i think he's playing with this theme of nuclear weapons because he knows it scares a lot of people in the west, but it's no more than that constant annual sort of saying, you know, a person is uttering statements but not really meaning a lot by saying them, what are your main takeaways then from what he did have to sign this state t v address? well, i think interestingly enough, he had to say something because everyone knows that it's one year since the beginning, reference, full scale, visionary cry. i bought a he didn't want to do it on the, you know exactly on the 24th because it's not exactly glorious date for the crime. him and not much has been the cheat, i think is his way of basically saying, well,

i do remember we do continue. and he is his attempt to ensure that nothing is lost and nothing has changed dramatically. so in the sense is trying, i think 1st of all was all he's trying to keep his job base of supportive. he wish mom which is mostly indifferent to war. that's how he likes it or he wants to keep it on board. and this is just very, very gently is a series of very generic statements that actually mean nothing. and he thinks that's going to kind of keep keep people white that was dw constantine egg it in vilnius lithuania. constantine, thanks so much. thank you. let's get around up now of some other world news headlines, sri lankan police to fire t a gas and water cannon to, to spill. protest is angry at the postponing of local elections. the government says it can't afford to pay for them because of the ongoing economic crisis. thousands of opposition. the board has tried to march towards the capital,
