rescue workers faced strong winds, trying to bring survivors to safety. condolences came from europe's top officials. i am deeply saddened by the terrible shipwreck off the coast of calabria. the resulting loss of life of innocent migrants is a tragedy. it's a shocking accident, but one that's all too familiar on italy, southern coastline an overlap blanket. wicker very. they also found 2 bodies on the beach where my parishes, you're benedetti, but i've blessed them. but while i was blessing them, i asked myself, why do we always arrive after death? we should arrive before death. your re villamore. a new law introduced by italy's right when government restricts rescue operations, etc. at the center here, it's an endless tragedy. it strengthens our conviction that the only useful way to

stop these tragedies is to stop departures liberal opposition. politicians say that this only leads to more tragedies, codo methods, another c tragedy with dozens of deaths, including many children. we must cooperate to safe as many lives as possible without criminalizing those who to day are saving lives at sea. despite the obvious dangers, the number of migrants making the perilous journey by boat, italy from northern africa and turkey is steadily on the rise. we get more or less from journalists, sima gulped her in rome. welcome seaman, a talk a so date to of the rescue effort. well, what we do know is that the firefighters, the coast guard, they have continued their search and rescue mission through the night, trying to find bodies at sea. but so far,

the dead count still stands at 59 base concerned because of the rough sea conditions and the current that the bodies may have been moved. as a result, what they do know is, as i mentioned, 59 did some 80 people so that have been recovered alive. 20 of them in hospital. but we don't know the exact number of people on board. it was an overcrowded vessel, a 20 meter long wooden boat that essentially crash broke to pieces and those desperate people trying to get to shore with hearing stories about families, whole families essentially lost and see and perhaps only one survive. we do know that doors on board appeared to have identified one of the survivors as being an alleged people. smuggler report say, it is a turkish man. we do know that the boat left the coast of turkey from 3 to 4 days

my goods, when they are, des, was no longer all if the cap size and they try to rescue these. my good be talent, government feel that these rescue ship encourage more people to take this dangerous and difficult journey. but my good rescue should say, if you try to stop us, that's not going to stop these migrants from making this dangerous journey. it's only going to risk their lives further and the united nation has said that this is against international law. these rescues have to be carried out to some of the restrictions in place. include things like, once you rescue some people, you have to me, me go to the port that is suggested by the palin authorities, the my good rescue should say, be often very far away. and so it takes them many days to get to shore on top of that along the way. they're not allowed to rescue other people. so they feel these

laws restricting a life saving work. but the government says, what they do encourages others to come here. in the meantime though, you have the situation of these desperate people leaving already desperate situations. we know that they coming from countries like dogs, like iran, like somalia and often they suffer or lose their lives as a result. thank you for that journal sema got to in room his look now it's a small stores making headlines around the world of palestinian officials say a palestinian man has died after scores of israeli settlers in the west bank set fire to carson holmes. it acts followed the killing of 2 is railey satler's by a palestinian gunmen on sunday. the vitals occurred as israeli and palestinian officials held talks in jordan to come a recent search in violence. tens of thousands of people have gathered in mexico city to protest against the lateral law reforms. arguing that the changes approved by congress threatened democracy present address,
