coast guard is coordinating the rescue, the migrants of stranded on overcrowded fishing boats, authority, se there's been a shop increase in crossings with thousands of africans arriving on the island of land producer in the last few days. at many, never make it 8 group say at least 2 people died and 20 went missing after their boat sank on the weekend, floating at sea, packed with people and without a captain to steer it. the ship is in a dire state. rescue is carried out a reconnaissance flight to assist the situation with this school from a nearby congo. be so laying out how bad things is leaking with thinking with anyone with this isn't the only boat in distress in the area. another one, carrying 800 people is also adrift. thousands of people have tried to

make the trip forest journey across the mediterranean. on this weekend alone, the italian coast guards it almost 2000 migrants had been rescued from vessels in distress. from friday through to monday. official figures show over $28000.00 migrants have arrived in italy since the start of the year. almost 4 times bet in the same period and 2022. many of those people actually in conflict, violence and persecution. while the numbers are still much lower than the hundreds of thousands rescued during 2015 age groups are wanting more government help is needed to stop lives being lost at sea unnecessarily. but mckayla faced the director of the north africa. and so hill observatory at the

global initiative against trans national organized crime. i asked him what sort of danger these stranded migrants are in was significant for a number of reasons which we are very familiar with but, but also for some reasons which, which we are less familiar with in the sense that there's been a phenomenon over the past couple of years where a number of vessels have been leaving from the east of libya to reach italy. and another group leaving turkey directly for italy. and this increases the risk exponentially because we're talking about how much longer journey, etc, which compounds the usual risk factors which include, you know, the lack of safety of the vessels use the exaggerated number of people on board. the sometimes lack of seamanship of the people actually steering the vessels so and so forth. other efforts to track down the perpetrators. i mean,

these migrants paid huge sums to illegal traffickers who put them out to say in less than their to fend for themselves. basically. yes they are, they're not sufficient unfortunately. so over the past few years have been a number of initiatives taking place which can be very quickly categorized and 2 baskets. one of them has to do with border control, putting a boarders putting up was defenses of the borders on board. those have mix rate of success. in some cases there are successes and flows of migrants have been reduced through these measures. in some cases, they actually create a market for smugglers, whereas migrants would have previously been able to cross the border without the help of a smuggler. suddenly there's a barrier. so there's a market for someone to help actually cross cross that by the 2nd baskets of,

of measures have been international prosecutions and their national investigations and prosecution. the how these have been few and far between and. and i should include also sanctioning of smugglers in this category bar where they have been begun. there have been some measures of success, not necessarily just in relation to the individuals involved, but also in the chilling effect they have had on groups of migrant operating in certain areas. the problem very often is that the follow up is weak and the consistency is weak. so we see some progress. we see some damage done to some smuggling networks, but then the progress is not followed on and different smugglers replace. the ones that have that have bus or, or been arrested or have dismantled their business. busy and so forth. italy's prime minister has been threatening with

a naval blockade against micro boats. what would happen then? well, we've seen the sort of rhetoric in the past when, when it comes to ideas of naval brigades. so if this were really to be implemented and the big question is on the if, because it takes quite substantial efforts to entrench a naval blockade. so my guess is there would be a diversion. so. busy perhaps in the short term, we would see a massive, a grinding to a halt. but eventually we would see the difference modeling networks. we routing their operations and finding new ways of operating. we have seen this countless times and various different territories. a sound like a bunch mach mikaela. thank you very much for being on d. w. i kind of there from the north africa and south hell observatory. taiwan says

chinese warships and military aircraft is still operating around the island. a day off, the beijing announced the end of military drills. china practice striking and blockading time one in 3 days of exercises. making that they served as a warning to proponents of taiwanese independence and any foreign interference. the islands president, sighing when condemns china's actions, describing them as irresponsible and a threat to regional stability. i are staging base journalist fabia encroachment. how china is portraying the drills were i'm the chinese government basically said the drills are quote unquote, a warning against independence activists and also against separatists. and am the main message was that the taiwan issue was a purely m a domestic affair and we will not m, yeah, tolerate any foreign interference and or as far as the media reporting goes, there was no plural, t, m, r. the reporting was online and basically repeating the official stance. what i

found really concerning was that am the people's liberation army. the chinese military was publishing a video, which was really very wor, glorifying. there were basically, i'm showing those drilled stable were with m bombastic and musical score. a lot of our fighter jets taking off and basically portraying those drills as, as some patriotic walgreens, a font at really very concerning. actually, there were no critical undertones on that issue at all. does any of this, though, increase the likelihood of an invasion of taiwan so at an invasion, probably will build up over the course of several months. for example, you will see a lot of mobilization of troops, et cetera. so it's not very likely that an invasion will start um, basically in the heat of earth, of some of our military drills. and i think m, it's not the time for that yet. i mean, if you talk to, i'm diplomats see a european diploma and beijing than they tell you there could be

a time frame of the next 10 to 15 years. why? because i'm a seating ping might suggest that he wants to see this vision of her era yard are re unified and china as he tells it, and where he wants to experience it in the span of his lifetime. some u. s. generals even say that a truce of 1027 could be a date that we should watch out for because until then, a lot of those are modernizing programs of the people liberate at puberty. liberation army will finished, but officially there is no timeline, but they are. the chinese government has made it quite clear that it will also resort to a military means when it comes to taiwan, if it feels necessary to do so. and when it comes to europe, e u says it's friendly, opposed to any attempt to break, to tie one status or france. one's the block against entanglement in a foreign crisis. house waging view that debate. yeah, i mean for bating, there was really a political gift. there were a lot of opinion pieces. he and the state media, which appraised em across the stands as, quote, unquote, reasonable and,

and are rational. so am bits. basically china strategy. they want to portray europe as a victim of u. s. pressure and basically want to encourage europe to break away from a u. s. pressure and divide brussels and washington. so i think this rhetoric is exactly what china can hope for pub in pittsburgh, in beijing. thank you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlights. tens of thousands of junior doctors have gone on strike across england, overpay and working conditions. the 4 day war count is the most serious action in a series of strikes by staff of the national health service, as were to struggle with the cost of living crisis. one of russia's most active volcanoes has wrapped it in the far east of the country. the charlottesville, kane ost viewed out an ash cloud over an area of more than 100000 square kilometers with authorities warning of potential effects on air travel. officials have advised

locals to stay home. residents of louisville in the us state of kentucky have been holding vigils to more than the victims of a mass shooting authorities say, a man armed with a rifle open fire. on monday at the bank where he worked, he killed 5 people and wounded 9 others while live streaming the attack before shooting and killing himself. a thing in the u. s. where the biden administration is reeling from the fall out of the most significant league of government secrets, since wiki lakes in 2010. as the search for the source of the leak continues, washington is busy doing damage control revelations suggest that you wear spied on key allies, including israel and south korea. on tuesday, sol dismissed a significant number of the files as fake. the pentagon says it's ordered an internal review describing the leak as a very serious national security risk to impact the story that's pull in d,

w, security correspondent on the sparrow. thomas, just how surprising are these revelations? well, if you think about this, as a rare glimpse into the inner workings of u. s. intelligence of u. s. over u. s. spying disconcertingly be described as surprising. it is not very often that you have the chance to actually look into these classified documents. but from our political standpoint, from a government standpoint, i wouldn't necessarily describe the most surprising. i would rather describe the most very problematic for us authorities. not only do they consider that this, these documents have a potential risk to national security, but they're also looking into reducing the damage caused by these documents. when it comes to some of their key alliances. you already mentioned some of those country country. so you can certainly see that the u. s. administration is trying

to work hard in crisis mode if you will, to try and reduce the damaged cause by these documents. but from a general perspective, you can certainly describe these documents. these leaks as being surprising. and it is a sensitive type of washington as a rallies, allies around the world in the face of increased russian aggression and chinese pastoring. and when moscow and beijing are trying to establish an alternative world order, how could the leaks effect things? well, they could certainly affect them. i doubt that just by themselves they would tilt a balance in one direction or another. but they do come at a very difficult time. they could add, if you will, fuel to the fire when it comes to these dynamics to these international relations. we're talking not only about the u. s. t relation with some of its closest allies. we're talking also, and you mentioned, for example, russia and china, we're talking here about russia's war and ukraine. we're talking here about china, a country that is being described by you officials as being more repressive at home

and assertive abroad. so it certainly can be described, these leaks coming got a very difficult time for international relations as well as a very difficult time for the role that the us wants to play internationally as well. and do we know more about the source of the lakes? well, this is actually one of the most interesting and also one of the most difficult aspects of this because it was revealed, it has been described that the original leak was actually published in a platform which is popular popularly used by gamers, even in channels that originally had nothing to do with these kinds of leaks out to do with the game minecraft. so this will pose an additional challenge to authorities that are clearly interested in preventing these kinds of documents from leaking at the same time. however, and i think this is an additional element that is particularly important in this case. some of these leaks are being described as doctored or altered. some are

indeed being described as being authentic, but in other cases they are being described as possibly being altered. so it is unclear at this point, it hasn't been very fight independently at this point where these leaks actually came from and to what extent all of them are authentic. and this just poses another challenge to us authorities as they try to limit the damage from these leaks. how security correspondent there to a sparrow. thank you very much for the analysis. imagine having settled in a new country only to find out years later, you're being kicked out. that's the case for about 200 thousands and bob wins in south africa. they were granted presidency back in 2009 human rights groups have taken the government to court, but the clock is ticking. the residence permit expire at the end of june t w's. christina hood bar met her teacher in johannesburg, whose family heavily depends on today's court ruler. far from his home in zimbabwe

a colleague in i'm about to finish. so if he comes back to the me, that means i have to drop out of college living standards ins above we have been in decline since the early 2, thousands to day about half of the population is reported to be living in poverty. some bobbins have my greater to neighboring countries in big numbers. many have come to south africa and there is a growing anti immigrant sentiment in south africa that has at times escalated, divide into tax on foreign. some have suggested that the government and raises in taking the decisions with the authorities here maintain that reason home is we're always temporary arrangements and therefore wait, citizenship all her minute residents rights groups have asked a court to stop the government from cancelling the permits. there was no public consultation and with the stakeholders prior to the decision being made to

terminate the the permits. if you have enabled people to, you found families from lives here and careers that she give them that fair opportunity to make representations so that you understand the circumstances of the a lives and what they faith when you make the decision to terminate. and that is absent in terms of the decision that has been made by the south african government been madison, would it hopes the court will rule in favor of the appeal? he doesn't want to go back to some bubbly. so shows out there. so pinch dopey and go big rooms that the keyboard is fairly framing, finding guilty, food or other go somewhere if the court rejects the appeal, been met. so nora and others and bobby an exemption permit holders have until the end of june. to leave south africa i spoke to

t w's truthful camilo from the court in pretoria. i asked what we can expect today . today what is up ending? their arguments are starting in court to the men applicant, which is the hellen sue, has been foundation is currently presenting is acumen, did court. of course, as we had from that to put them in, i commit is that these people were not caught soft. it, they were not given a chance. they were not asked as to how this decision is going to affect them. so this is the men a presentation today that have been brought to that and number of organizations that are in support or for that application for the helen sussman foundation. so they have been given days from today to morrow, thursday and friday to present their cases. but also there are the open positions that are in support of the termination of the permit, meaning they support the hon minister in terms of a 10 minute this premise. they're also going to be a, appeared before the judge's footprint of judges. hearing the smith, i swear that went to present have been finite. on friday,

we're going to have had the home ad department here, home, a fest department, or so answering a all these other groupings. then we expect a decision from the judge to so can you tell me what really is behind this south african legalize the status of these embalmed wins. living and working in the country, why don't they want them anymore? there are quite a number of issues at play here. i think the 1st issue is the economy council dot for guys facing high unemployment rate. and it is the feeling amongst a lot of other kids including one group that was protesting here. they're just marching around. they've just left the court here as saying, busy them, but when should go home, because if they go, they are creating spaces for them to wake. they're saying they don't get wake because of this and bumping. so these are sentiments that we've had from our south africans, but also is also a when the police confront. because there's always been an argument that is in bobbins that have run out of their country should stay in their country in fix and

they are problems them. but according to the home office department, the official statements official position is that this permits where temporarily visit temperature permits. daniel, remember that in 2008, when there was political tip orleans or map with their flock into south africa. so they had to accommodate them, then they're saying the situation now is better. they should be going back. they can't remain in south africa at temper. i'm so these were not at permanent pay me sort of the arm of department saying they are now canceling them. and in one want to come in should find another channel of applying for other families that the contest so to so what are the chances of stay if you listen to the arguments that have been put in quite to day air by the hell insulin foundation there are chances because they are saying, according to the constitution of the country, the administration of justice phase and authorities, when they are taking decisions that affecting people they have to consulted them and inform them get how they're going to affect it. so they're saying this is going

to make it a possible for them to, to, to win this case because these, these people are not consulted. we expected the attaches to make a final effect to take the end. but it is expected to that to and there may be allowed to stay, or at least longer than at june, $32.00. so kumato from atoria. thank you very much for the update on that story and some of the other stories. now that way, following the white house, as it's prepared for a long legal fight for women's reproductive rights, this time over access to an abortion pill. showdown over the drug make per stone, appears to be heading to the supreme court. the f d. a approved, it's used 23 years ago, but a trump appointed federal judge has since ruled to suspend it. south korea's national fire agency has issued its highest alert over a fast spreading forest fire. in the eastern city of gong, hong officials say dry weather and strong winds of fanning the flames. people living near by
