the, the business dw slide from building a huge search and rescue operation is on the wave of the coast of greece. they're trying to find most of us of one of the with ship breaks ever seen that the mediterranean sea of hundreds could have drowned. also coming up. ukraine says it's added fence systems are crucial to the protection of civilians on the ground, but they fear they may soon run out of supplies. and that this is part of russia's

game plan. the, i'm gonna have both as welcome to the program. at least 78 people have drowned and hundreds of sold to be missing off to a fishing boat filled with migrants sent off the coast of greece. the co sconces had managed to rescue more than a 100 people among the people from syria. egypt focused on the palestinian territories such f, it's continued throughout the night and this morning it's fitted many more. people could have been trapped on the lower decks of the vessel when have capsized its value, its deadliest maritime disasters in recent years. recovering from a brush with deaf the survivors of the ship rec rest at

a warehouse. at the port of kyla mata in southern greece, it's unclear how many people were on board. but according to passengers, there were hundreds a massive search effort has been launched. but it might be, which is indeed a gigantic operation. because we are talking about some very large number of ship direct people who i think is one of the most difficult and extensive regardless in terms of the numbers that the greek states has faced so far as here. things you believe the survivors say the vessel left, the libyan port city of tub brook heading for italy. the ship sang some 80 kilometers from the greek coast near the town of p. los the greek coast guard claims. the passengers repeatedly refused an offer of help. when they were spotted late tuesday, greece is one of the main routes into the european union for migrants from africa,

the middle east and asia. then they are of color. moto says they are well equipped to cope with the emergency we have shown like everyone in greece, many additional we have taken care of everything else. all the sites has been prepared, the toilet on the showers. anything that is needed, including clothing of photos, i guess if i hear thanks. the greek president catarina sacked, a lot of hulu flew to the porch of color matter to assess the situation and to visit survivors and hospital. the united nation says more than a $70000.00 refugees and migrants have arrived so far this year in europe's front line, mediterranean countries. i do have list and the cassava in athens. now with the latest on the rescue operation. well, it's actually continuing. it's

a massive operation. there are several vessels that are combing the area of this ship respite at the same time. the numbers remain the same, meaning that no survivors have come out within the last 24 hours. hopes are fading for survivors. that said, officials, i've been speaking to say that the search may be extended for another day at the same time next to the search and rescue operation that is ongoing. there is an investigation into the causes of this and from the 104 men who have been rounded up as the vice versa. um, they're about as it does and to have been taken into separate questioning. and it is believed that some of them could be among the smugglers. that would be important in so far as trying to pin down the actual number and people who are still missing

and may have perished. of course, i believe to perish in this ship right in the sinking. now we understand that there are many women and children below day. what does that tell us about the possible scale of this tragedy? absolutely, initially there were estimates of this being positively just like a 200 people being crammed into this fishing troll, found from libby i are set that had set awesome libby a 6 days ago and was going to italy. now we understand the initial testimonies that we are getting from the survivors themselves, that there were at least a 100 women and children in the whole. the whole of, uh, uh below jack. um that, uh, you know, may have perished in, in this uh, in the same kid and its customary, we understand in the practices of smugglers that they keep these people that

they keep women and children are locked in these, in the holes. so again, there are attempts to, to try and extract as much information from these advisors to try and piece together and mystery of one of the deadliest migrant thinkings we're seeing in mediterranean. thank you very much. the gentleman's down to kinda solve that in athens. now let's get the european perspective from, of course, but a jack pack in brussels. jack, the eagle council is only recently agreed on new rules for dealing with migration for migrants coming into europe. will that help prevent such tragedies? you think as well it certainly doesn't look so well. the use having besides ministers of recently agreed upon of asylum, the allies countries to either relocate asylum seekers and applicants between themselves. or if they don't want those asylum seekers coming into that countries,

they can pay into some sort of common funds to support them, or they can pay for some sort of financial operational agreement to help the fellow he, you countries, this was more of i sold a diversity among e u countries. so trying to support countries like greece and italy who have and high numbers of asylum applicants coming in. the idea was, will say that that would be some sort of a prevention of the push practice to migrants coming in. but we're seeing with this tragedy in the mediterranean, it just happens that city people are still willing to make those dangerous johnnies on these things into your opinion. on what we've had today during the mid day briefing, which happens every single day in new york, p. and commission was a pretty fiery exchange between john, notice i'm the spokes people. we've done this all talking simply, what are they doing operationally to try and prevent these kind of crisis is from happening because what we've seen is that, well,

this boat was traveling narrow accusations that the green coast guard didn't step in to help in time. the greek coast guard to say that the people on the boat one accepting that help. and the question is, how can we resolve how can not be resolved to make sure that the coast guards have some sort of agreement around the european union to try and save lives in the 1st instance. and that's what a lot of humanitarian organizations are putting pressure on the you to do to get a much clearer idea of how to prevent tragedies of this nature that we've seen unfolding just in the last 24 hours, or say thank you very much to the the 1st one on jack power the in brussels. so let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines today. kosovo has banned all the goals with serbian license plates from entering the country. closing long choose at the board. the band is in response to the arrest of 3 border police by serbian forces,

allegedly for entering serbian territory. tensions between the 2 countries have led to repeated confrontations in recent weeks will donna, profess upon them entry inquiry is found that former british prime minister boris johnson, deliberately misled parliament about potties, held out his offices during the pandemic look down, a committee has been investigating the so called policy gate affair, for over a year, johnson called the pro, a political assess the nation. ukraine continues is contra offensive against russian positions. fighting appears to be concentrated in the region of operations, as well as further north around the town of buckboard with some of the cranial officials claiming steady gains. the same time ukraine says renewed russian strikes have hit civilian targets in several ukrainian cities. officials say that was

a drone attack on the black sea hub of odessa on thursday morning and russian miss south targeted the heart of had a son damaging an office building that the mayor of the central city of preview. we reports a drone attack, 8 to industrial buildings grants upgraded ad defense systems are proving essential, as russian has stepped up it's aerial bombardment of critical infrastructure and civilian targets. boston defense is extremely expensive, and the supply of munition is not the endless of the, even before the siren sound. that will ready on the move. the defense crews come out of hiding and get ready to take aim at incoming drones or missiles. it's a procedure they repeat every single day. earlier in the will, russian pilots had free reign of the skies over ukraine. and miss silas rained down

on civilian targets. like on this shopping center. the director of the only complete psycho terrorist who should have no place on this earth or was can launch missiles at such a target and keep them in mind with the new modem. but ukraine has since constructed a formidable and a defense system comprised of soviet era systems. a now west and made weapons to including patriots from the united states. nay, thumbs from norway to and from gemini k. ponce also known as cheetahs. it's believe this defensive shield can shoot down up to 90 percent of incoming drones, imbeciles. i guess we've got everything. you shoot down, saves lives, and infrastructure. thank you. and we managed to shoot down some of the missiles.

unfortunately, not all. let's see. that's right. one missile strike that wasn't, we'll do this week, destroyed an apartment block and zalinski is hometown of creevy. the other buildings nearby will also damaged. at least a dozen people were killed. it's a stock reminder of what could happen if you crane drops. it's got the west fees that could happen soon as we let this russian, the tax drain ukraine. stocks of i munition faster than that, it can be replenished. history that every day of delay in our deliveries has to be measured it on human life. it's not the amount of money that might the of people these people in key have head for the nearest chelsor. ukraine. lose is this area war of attrition. it's cities would be left open to missile andrea and attack

russian fighters and vamos could return to the skies. and that would pose a major threat to ukraine's comforter offensive of the before. oh, the tool could been as named battle tanks. now it's about how to protect them on the battlefield. and the lions there on this guy's ukraine. the 1st one and my son that had the opportunity to speak to colonel your e, not as spokes person for ukrainian efforts to find out more about the ukrainian perspective on the current situation of the countries and defenses as one of the goals of the enemy or one of the goals is the russian is this to exhaust the air defense systems. is there anything you can share with with us in terms of the stocks, the initials that are available at the moment for, for defense when they want you to wait another woman? what do you mean? well, just a want to somebody the last are valuable. 90 aircraft guided,

midsize them on their red is a big, cheap, shy head, drones miami isn't, you know, we're not even talking about the cost. so what about availability for sonya was a, one year behind to aircraft missiles are a matter of our survival because we kind of lose in the every picture with if our air superior already is lost in the territory controlled by ukraine and that the russian air force will arrive on the consequences will be the same as the amount of you, ball and other cities that russian destroyed by the wall or some talk about the purpose of these attacks that perhaps the russians are setting so many drones and so many so many missiles in order to test the premium air defenses on to find loopholes to, to, to move around them. what, what can you say to that? the appliances they use drones, tags, the air defense system, disability, physical sky, why do they run them in the evening? i'm gonna keep them on this slide, but as well we launch miss. i was wondering why we need to reload the miss i launch . is that okay? of the book? so they also see and record where the messiah's are coming from. but you know what

i do, we have an, a 50 long range radar detection plan. i have that for, they have agency, you walk around key even to enemy agents and our citizens also fit them the work of our hair defenses. the russians collect and analyze this information and identify the launch site. we sort of want to and then this way they know where their drones have flown eyes on this. see where they work with the they make adjustments to their next strike. accordingly. one, either with miss aisles or other levels auto, to look you up and we change them over. what could you crane do in order to prevent these attacks from happening for people? that's the we need to remember and understand this issue, no matter how successful are offensive is the terrorism can still be on least remotely from the air. who are you telling me that it is? that is why we need more web around. let's do one more patriot this little boy is the president to say that through 2 more lawyers, t systems and then get power designed to aircraft tanks. and we have a lot of you. that's what you watch the use of the most up to do. you anticipate that they're going to be more attacks on ukraine,

more aerial assault on capital q. me, but you'll initial bottom of we recently sold the slice of the military transport plan from to around to moscow. yeah. down on was obviously there will be shy head drone deliveries again. we'll solve careful here. obviously, the shot ahead of time. we'll continue those almost like the of them. maybe moscow will receive all their weapons. this little boy, again, we have to be ready for that's why you, but i'm on. that's what, that's what the applies for cruise missiles execute. what was the russian well, does not have the ability to manufacture them in the quantity in which it uses them . let me hope they used approximately a 150 cruise missiles and 850 drones in the fall and winter cuz they lost their kind of diet is the amount they use don't come through and that is what we have concern to them in mind. because we understand trimball that they have exhausted, simply give them all of their strategic reserve metals. let me make sure the to be feasible. certainly not. thank you very much. let's dig

a bit deeper into this ad defense issue. we're now joined by a new customer. so he's with a sense of for security studies that switzerland's u t. h university and as zurich. now the credit apparently has been quite successful shooting down a lot of rushes, drones and missiles. does that mean that russia strategy of indiscriminate, seemingly indiscriminate, very low tax and spending? i wouldn't say it is fairly necessarily simply because we do not know because stockpiles on either side really is something that we con, confirm. all that required with publicly available information which would be crucial to the time. and if the strategies eating or failing so in your who, what all the strategies, the both sides of the contract are currently using regarding drones and this all the tax full restaurant. it's about a credit creating the credit inside with a to protect civil utah, which is just structure or military units close to the front of the other thing i

can get, extend high intensity, come to the races. those are the most that all cause potentially impossible to solve. so the sector lead from the ukraine, which of you cause of course all of these things basically balanced for 2 years. now if we look at the use of raw the trip drones account, ukraine friend these off onto a most go runs out of weapons. well, the 1st part of your question, i would say yes, these trends can be solved down that kind of janet which limits the accuracy when it comes to from, from the rest of the point of view when it comes to actually destroying hot topics, such as is the structure, thomas and ukraine, they probably have to rely on more expensive christmas, obviously it's higher precision. however, the danger from the printing point of view is more that they are using all the more expensive anti aircraft munitions against the searching crowds. now let's keep defending itself, what kind of support does ukraine on need from the west?

most as i see right now, your crime needs every single has been delivered and probably in the higher quantities because coming up the races or face accommodate operations are more draining. the defense of operation is oh, low intensity, obviously. so the issue now is that i think one of the problems and this was alluded to in the previous presentation. one of the issues is that previously we usually talk probably about single weapon systems like case for example, or in the window. we talked about adding fences, but the issue that you're creating faces right now is that everything is crucial to include to, to replace them, pause for compet vehicles for instance. but also, of course, at events and in addition to the reality issues with the big ticket items, if you will, probably planning on a few trials as well. now, i would like to ask you to stay with us for

a couple of moments. i'd like to ask you about the german made a get pod empty at cross out today which ukraine says fill unimportant gap. the get pods are designed to destroy low flying targets and much cheaper to operate. then all the defense systems like us may patriot, for example, our correspondence on their fine to cut our reports from keith a scene that's been playing out over the years now. you clean as russia related to sleep bones, the country, the but units like these are standing in the way you're creating a defense capabilities can now take the close beside us and i really need drones hangs to anti aircraft system like the jumping may get bought. these units can literally be the difference between life and that this gets hard unit trained in

germany for a month and a half a year. so based on the the, your coldest, the dragon only because it's huge and loud and can destroy everything. and it's pass me some of those moves that the with less with both on the ground me. and in the, the get followed has a computer system. the crunch is detailed receipt from the read the which can take targets up to 15 kilometers away. then it's a matter of seconds because that's what we have to take aim at, the targets within 2 seconds to go with the system is very effective and fast and moves. well, despite when 48 tons, it's good for moving around on all kinds of terrain. the sense for pins cabin is armed with twin, $35.00 millimeter guns, which can fire up to $550.00 rounds for a minute. the logic of the, at the end of the kind of, there's a special sensor. and that's responsible for determining the speed and timing of firing the munition. it's very accurate,

but it will destroy any targets in the radius of the system. for this i was, i knew it off and that was done. ok. depending on the ammunition that using get both cabins got hit targets, some 5 kilometers away. the get bought split a key role in ukraine's a defense network, shooting down waves of low flank drones and drug romano unit has already taken out full show hip tones. and to me, sites would be want, is more get thoughts from germany as well as more ammunition to better protect the skies over you cream of the military analyst and nicholas mozilla is still with me. nicholas how and where do you believe ukraine can use these get pause most effectively. are usually with any kind of sisters is the only tools that seem to be quite specialized. now one of the things to get point us very well

is, is mobar calling defense system. it has a short written engagement range, but it is, it wasn't literally too much cheaper to use a municipal than to use missed calls and gets shot record particular. now the question for the credit really is and this goes back to the deadline, as i mentioned, is whether to, to use these gaps at this point defenses for the infrastructure and civilian targets to shoot on ways or so headphones or whether they deployed the inclusive from to project from the units for the you creating an advent systems, waste longer engagement range of slices. next, as mazda of the military strategies expert at edge university. thank you very much for sharing your expertise with us. you want to w news lots of thoughts of india and talk a song on high or low. so as a psych loan is approaching authorities in both countries, half of actually is it more than a $150000.00 people from coastal areas as

a cycle and be part joy barrels in from the are a, b and c. schools and government buildings are being used to show to displace people . the storm is expected to make land full at around 8 pm local time. green light officially predictions the squatters but only get there just for us. the cost in the box of india and buckets done, please for in fact, did warning of the imminent arrival of the cyclops named b for joy to bring value worked for disaster. authorities fear the cycling could cause heavy reads conflicting as a mix line. for here in focused on the coastal communities would suffer deep flats last year. again, the most positive, but tens of persons have been evacuated. some of them have been studied in this relief center. the. the fees say for now, for dues a constant worry about the homes they have left behind. the baby to my console it

has been decided on is over how it will be feed our children. if i've both going, if the hots i going, we will be languishing with no resources. as soon as they said he fidgeted faith and prepared for the post line for the image and see the bottom of the floor plan. according to reports, we've received sofa around 75 or leave comes, have already been established at the pakistan army with the rangers and the district administration have set up. these comes with the prominent lead by the same government and the federal government department, helping them. evacuations that also happening in neighboring western india. there's heavy rainfall. now we've done evacuations of coastal areas and low lying areas. and they've been moved to shelter homes to 100 d. c. more than a 1000000 people are like you to be affected in the state of which a lot of projects in the south eastern countries. the climate change effectively

leaving their community is fundamental to frequent and intense weather events. and the we lost our daily bureau chief, i me to cima. if that psych loan could become asked as aust was a, some full cost is not predicting. you know, the winds have come down a little bit, but full cost to say they could increase again before it makes land for and go up to about a 100 in particular on me to split our and with wind gusts couldn't even go up to 145 kilometers per hour. waves of 3 to 6 meters high or full, caustics, freeman, heavy rain is expected, low line areas have been given flood warnings and then look at it. for sure, said actually they are really on will 14 except 14, all the efforts to make sure that they can minimize any damage that this big stream severe storm can cause locate village volunteers wanting to groups of people. so being a mobilized food packages, admin to fed for those who might gets funded. and they also moved,

as you mentioned, tens of thousands of people and they've activated them in land. so i think they're doing all they can. but they're hoping that this with the, all these measures that they are taking, we minimize damage and very important be minimized loss of life. a team of every morning. and that's it from me and the news team for now i'll do stay tuned to focus on your up. that's up next in just a couple of moments. got over the bill in the

do and for see i know with their daughters easy. they are one of the many homosexual couples, felt hard for their family to be recognized. the neo fascist governing party is planning on the. the last

piece on the front of them has to come west and the last decade it's like dumping the contents of an entire garbage truck into the sea. every minute change the scales. the huge of your nature is unique and under threats, candice destruction be stopped. the future is being determined now the europe revealed part to in our series, the 45 minutes on dw, the guardians of the truth. i hesitate, almost every price. so theme you to in the country like to keep taking on the

powers that be the risk. everything turned into our needs, activists, journalists, and politicians living in exile the way up to which they move for their mission. what drives them? people need to know what is happening that our series, guardians of truth watch now on youtube, d. w documentary, the hello and welcome to focus on europe is good to have you with us. the destruction often know the kirchhoff got them and you frame south early this month is being seen of yet another war crime. industrial is water game to create the water.
