sonya is in rome and joins us now on the phone. what's the latest information that you have, sonya? >> reporter: well, we're hearing reports from the mayor of lampedusa who says there are at least 82 people, victims who have been -- who have died. the coast guard is still only confirming 73 dead at the moment, but from what we understand, rescue workers are seeing horrific scenes of bodies floating in the water. among the dead it was reported there was a pregnant woman and two children. now, they believe that there are at least another 250 missing. they have calculated this by the shear size of the boat. the boat is approximately 20 meters long. according to survivors, witnesses, it was full, so those bodies are still yet to be found. they've also said from what it seems from the survivors that have been rescued that most of the people were from somalia and ghana. so from the subsahara in africa. there was being transported and there was a malfunction and some kind of flare was lit, which was seen by the boat. it appears that the panic seemed to have ensued on board when the boat be

what more do we know, sonya? >> reporter: we know the latest figure that has just come out. we hear that at least 80 have been found dead and still 250 missing. from the sea rescue workers are describing scening of horror with bodies being found in the sea. this is an enormous death toll for this boat. now, they described how many of these people have been in the water since the early hours of the morning, and emergency workers have been really racing against time to try and rescue as many of the survivors as you can see. what apparently had happened was that there were approximately 500 people on board a boat that was carrying subsaharan migrants. there was a small fire on the boat to try to attract the attention of coast guard after the vessel underwent a technical failure. there seem to be, from what we can gauge from emergency rescue, enormous panic on board, which then caused the boat to flip over. >> unfortunately, sonya, this isn't the first time that something like this has happened off the coast of lampedusa. it is quite close to africa, and there have been many mig

it is something that really gets on the nerves of sonya. says she thinks it goes against nature.ry life does not mean uneducated or ignorant. she says you can't forget it is the countryside that has always fed the cities. so politicians cannot say we can just let the countryside die out, it and in the end we don't care. all of the special regional funds that get set up and canceled again are always just a drop in the bucket, she says. there is no clear commitment to that ruralr saying areas are important and store their living standards. so let's work together to try to do something about it. is what people are doing here. that way, the village survives. friday afternoon, the bonfire gathering in front of the grocery store is in full swing. they are all here, young and old, the doers and the skeptics. these locals say it is a nice chance for people to meet up and chat with one another. they say where else do people come together like this in the open? in italy, perhaps. not just in italy. also in germany, in places like

. >> reporter: sonya is live for us in lampadusa and thanks for that.alies were some of the people who were on the boats and the journey they take to reach europe. >> there are two routes they tend to use, the main one is the relatively short hop here and what happens is people move from southern somalia and central and ethiopia and cross in the northern parts of africa and somalia and they are often carried by people smugglers crossing to yemen and cross to easte eastern europe. some go west to take care of security services in libya to try to cross there into southern europe and into italy and across into spain. what we see is increasingly well organized network of smugglers and according to the organization for migration, people smuggling is as lucrative as some of the more profitable illegal enterprises like drugs trafficking and arms trafficking. a study said between 97-99% of all african refugees trying to get into southern europe are using the services of those people smugglers. it's an incredibly well organized business and when you go in refuge

. >> joining us live from rome, sonya, a bit climb down for berlusconi. what happens next? >> reporter: well, what happens next now is that you have the vote of confidence now being debated in the lower house. the low count for that is expected to happen some time soon in the next half hour. but it's almost a forgone conclusion that the vote would pass. of course, a stronger presence in the lower house, he certainly has much more support than he does have in the senate. the senate vote earlier was far more crucial to be able to remain for there to be a civility. now looking ahead to friday, that is will going to be an interesting, shall we say, for mr. berlusconi. he faces senate who will decide if he keeps his seat in the senate because of convictions of tax fraud. many are saying this is signaling the end of the road for mr. berlusconi's career, while that may be the case, that will not be the end of his influence. he has been on the seat for two decades now and he still wields enormous influence. while he's going through a very challenging time it's not the last we'll se

they were building up for a big one today, sonya. how is it going there? >> reporter: that's right. it's still in the beginning stages. there are more and more protesters gathering to this point, the point where the protest finished up last night. still early, though. however, the protest is not expected to kick off another two hours. what they are anticipating, though, is to protest organizations. now, what the worry is is that they will be infiltrated by certain groups known for more violent tactics. for example, black block. there were five people who were apprehended by the police, french nationals here in rome, and they were immediately deported back to france and were known to have ties with the black block movement. there is a heavy police presence here in rome in anticipation of any skirmishes or scuffles that are predicted to take place here. >> there's hints, son i can't recollects, that this is really a rebellion against austerities. there are consensus emerging that austerity measures are not working. >> certainly that would seem to be the opinion here. many italians eve

sonya, i understand the strikes have disrupted flights, buses and services in rome but have any other cities been affected so far? >> reporter: yes. there have been. it's been happening sort of across the country in milan, the economic heart of italy. what we are seeing at the st. john's square, we have seen those coming to the site here preparing to approach central rome, toward the central station. now, there are reports that perhaps some skirmishes may occur. there are fears perhaps these protests will be infiltrated by groups that will possibly use violent tactics. therefore, you have a very heavy police presence here, a lot of security, about 4,000 police officers manning the street, all and all, a day which is anticipated today have quite a few problems ahead. >> sonia, thank you for joining us live from rome. >>> fires are still blazing across australia where our auntdrew thomas has been out with fire fighting volunteers. and he brings us this report >> reporter: in the blue mountains west of sydney, volunteers are fighting fire with fire. by burning big areas of undergrowth ne
