1:15 am
the how many has led to each present? tyrone used his speech to cool for retaliation against israel for it. so attack on the iranian consulate building in syria earlier this month. though such a body has more from tyrone, the occupations sweats and mourning, spite around supreme leader, ayatollah ali common a during a speech of delivered following prayers that was done in the most solemn oscar in capital. to run on this eat at the supreme leader said israel is guilty of 2 crimes . first, the blood shed that has been carried out during the holy month of ramadan and gaza has left a bitter taste for muslims during this aid and also the western powers. and are responsible because they haven't done anything to stop the bloodshed. and also they've been ating, the occupying power. the 2nd crime he highlighted by israel was that strikes that was carried out on around the consulate in damascus on april. first, this is what you'd have to say on that. they had these the wicked sinus version. he
1:16 am
made another mistake and staged an attack on you runs constantly and fish, which means that attack on the country soil a violation of international norm. it made a mistake and the regime needs to be punished and will be punished. the question now is when and how around respond the hits that was taken by the radians on april 1st end, damascus is being seen as an attack on the country's own soil. and the supreme leader made it very clear that a response is imminent. when and how that will happen remains to be seen. what is clear is that iran will respond to israel door, such a bar. i'll just sarah to hon. evans, who's they say they've targeted full vessels in the red sea, including what the group describes as a us warship. what is the latest attack on the commercial shipping lane in the gulf of aden, by the rating back to the group. on tuesday,
1:17 am
the us military confirmed it's a destroyed and n t shit, ballistic missile. the who's they say the attacks will continue until as well as warrant garza ends the turn into some other world news now, and at least the $38.00 microns have died off to that boat capsized off the coast of to booty. the whole of african nation is the main transit for most the if you, if you and then somebody naturals trying to reach gulf nations through human. jo evans has this report. cheese cosca recover the bodies of migrants research for a better life ended in tragedy. they drowned in the red sea when the boat capsized on the way to him. and while i o n b, international organization for migration can confirm that at least the t h. people perished in this latest tragedy. many of them women, children, and even babies unfortunately lost their lives. when this boat capsized,
1:18 am
the number of migrants dying on journeys in the middle east and north africa is a 5 year high. according to the latest figures by the us, many of them are headed east rather than those across the mediterranean, the migrant route from the owner of africa through yemen is one of the busiest and most dangerous many pos for the northern jupiter's, about parisian to cross the red sea waters into southern u. m. and in order to reach both countries like saudi arabia, the drivers are a bit mixed. some are going in the search of employment because because of economic reasons, but many increasingly are fleeing untenable human rights situations, particularly in ethiopia, in eritrea. 22 people are rescues from the ship, right? that even if they made it to them and they would have still faced the most dangerous part of the journey in 2020 to 795, mostly ethiopians. with care with between yemen and saudi arabia, with violence against migrants has intensified. they've survived this part of the
1:19 am
journey that the future looks up as uncertain is that the goal evans, how do 03 children have died off a migrant boat capsized off the coast of the greek on an appeals. their bodies were covered by the coast guard. also rested 14 people, including 8 other children. brig media say they were all from afghanistan, and thousands of migrant. severe rescued off. it's probably an audit and producer. 57 people were aboard a small boats when it came into trouble. they've been safe to transfer to the island for assessment. 0 european parliament says approved over hold of immigration policies that hold an entry procedures for asylum seekers. they decision for those years of tension subdivisions and the clause old member states, the shared responsibility faculties and g o. say the reforms will not help migrants and nephew cheese uh far right. parties across your website doesn't go far enough
1:20 am
from that. came reports not from building a small boat is helped into adina again haul by the spanish coast scots on bold. people who have travelled from west africa, dazed and confused by the dangerous crossing to the canary islands. some of those rescued need immediate medical attention. all of them want to assign them in the u . spanish officials, same olden 6 times. as many people made this journey in the 1st quarter of the year compared to the same period last year. which helps explain why the european parliament is just devoted to change its assignment policy. it is crucial that starts to take back control from the smugglers. so big because we need to decide who will actually enter the repeal union. we need to strengthen our common border because only soul can be also ensure that we move towards
1:21 am
a policy when we can gave protection to those the needs and not to regular migrants . countries not on the blocks external border will not have to choose between accepting a share of $30000.00 asylum applicants or paying more than $21000.00 per person into an e u fund. a new screening system will distinguish between those who need international protection and those who do not process that will last up to 12 weeks with rejected . applicants sent back to the home countries within another 12 weeks. but this still has faced strong criticism for the form of the coming during the field. asylum system will not save a single live, not in the mediterranean, and not at any of your p and x to in the borders. because what has been happening is that the, you now legalize this, the violations of international law that are committed by european states already. now the extra and the boldest european far right to parties say the changes don't
1:22 am
go far enough, but anyhow, so there isn't even a mention of defending the borders against the invasion of immigrants. they are deliberately replacing european populations. our borders must be closed. our people don't want more migrations, they want less, it will be, steal, still needs formal approval from the european council of ministers. but that is seen as a formality, whether it can deliver all of what it supports is a promising is perhaps less so the european parliament selections in june may show us what the votes is. think of is going to k houses, era holy. what you get is a, you director of advocacy at amnesty international. she joins us from brussels, where she may have followed the voting, taking place at the repair department. thanks for joining us. what do you make of this of the whole of migration policies. so today the product passed among strong divisions and almost ease you. this product is going to worst and the situation and create much more suffering for people on more chaos at the border. and in our view,
1:23 am
europe, security needs a better standard. it was a really interesting day to day and brussels. a lot of speculation right up to the bows about whether or not it would pass inside the parliament. it was an exceptionally high presence of senior european commission officials debates going on right up to the bose and the care message they were given to to the parliament was it was better. this packed, the no packed. we saw protests and the parliament outside in the square in front of new york in parliament. many protesters were gathered with buyers calling on any piece, reject the proposal, and chance of shame on you could care to be heard. so the visions work here on the mood and brussels has really shifted from a celebration of disagreement from some months back to now a real concern about what exactly this package will mean for amnesty and many others. this is not a pact with which will serve the people of europe or serve people, arriving to europe. it will codify the status quote,
1:24 am
we can the right to asylum normalize, immigration detention, and computing for children's families, increased racial profiling. we think 100 people that increased risk of violence and really ushering in some ferry firm for digital surveillance technologies up the border. so it's really confirmation that instead of an evidence based future proof policy, the us sampled on simply rubber something trials, a failed approaches with some communities on the front line of migration as well might say that they're not being given. the results is to deal with the influx of people, do they have a point or i think indeed in, in the on, in terms of the countries on 1st arrival. they have been in terms of new york in 2727 states together in the united, blocked with a common policy. there was a sentence, but usual migration hasn't been dealt with fairies across those you 27. and that has been a real push at to reach a compromise on
1:25 am
a common agreement. but in our view, this has really been a lower and of standards to the lowest common, acceptable standard and compromise which has come at the cost of human rights for years. europe has been trying to reform its assign them policies and this pact. unfortunately, the grievance we have for our view, it's not going to solve the situation of those states who are receiving more microns because we're going to see more attention, they're more destitution, more people stranded, fewer legal protections, and also a lot more people being deported to countries maybe which they just trying to search or they don't have any links or or speak the language. i'm of the standards are low, the past even a lives member states to suspend them for what they see as a crisis. afraid to use the the find term and in the pact as obviously international we have seen had these types of policies and of crises were used by lot fia lithuania in 2001 states of emergency which blocked access to the border
1:26 am
for n g o's. for media and we saw a lot of suffering and even depths of people at the border. and these exceptional measures are, are still in place. so in our view, it's not gonna solve that common approach, but fair sharing and also that addressing to monetary and needs well, even though that you say, you know, what is the solution in your b? and i really would really like to see your upset in a better standard. let's not forget, this is 27 countries. and in the, in the region which, you know, kind of come together kind of grand a system we believe, which is fair, which is effective, coherent 1st thing we'd want to see would be that when people 1st arrive in europe and that they get urgent support, they have a roof over their heads, they have a place to feel safe. they have a fair hearing that they're assign them claim. we see many countries across europe actually moving away from the use of the tension. and it for migration countries like art and for instance don't stay in my grandchildren and other problem are
1:27 am
states are looking to community based non custodial alternatives to the attention. so many good practices happening across your which could be part of your keen approach. the 2nd thing you want to see is accountability. when your team, governments ignore you and international, we need a clear unaffected e response, for example, and on violence abuse is of the board or 3rd thing we really want to see would be a european search and rescue capacity. so few our lives are lost and see and also safe pathways. so the people have an alternative dignified in fairway to come to europe does a garbage unity, how to use it. so i forgive me for interrupting damage. how easy is it to forget then, you know, all of this that we're talking about human beings here, many of whom have already suffered terrible experiences on the attorneys or indeed, i mean, you're really needs to recognize the people move. some people move for safety and some people move to seek better opportunity jobs. joined family study,
1:28 am
many reasons. and we know we should know as, as you are about our own history of migration to and that, you know, we want to treat others how we would want to be treated. i'm this really time for i think, an evidence based a migration policy in the long term. there's some other real concerns on those packed issues like on the digital surveillance technologies which are being used now. as part of your if migration response, we need normalizing digital surveillance within the borders. and we know, you know, from our experiences i'm just in many digits are right. scream folks, i've also expressed concerns. these types of policies won't just stop with the border and they will soon also be leveraged across, across europe. and the other point is on board or procedures that have been agreed and this packed is increasing of a legal fiction. that's cool. that all of non arrivals so that people can be on your p entire tree, but not given any of the rides or protections that they would have. so these types
1:29 am
of measures we see it as a kind of downgrading for human rights across europe, and also europe sending a very worrying signal to other parts of the world. who are, you know, looking, taking far more refugees than you are if is your picks a fairly small percentage. and so i think it's phrased a dangerous side. okay, a worldwide. okay. okay. we're gonna have to leave it that we're gonna have to time that you've got a thank you very much indeed for joining us. what sort of head on the house will tell you why silence creasing security only exported with me in the very warm welcome. see, let's go with your weather uptake. focusing 1st on australia and we've got this disturbance still hanging around just stuff. what certain australia the coast there, but it is kicking back. rain and wind to australia as paper red region,

that was featured in the film, dark waters, more the documentary, the double we know are in the book exposure, as you mentioned, you know, that really stood up and said that this isn't the way was which should this should work in the united states? okay. well, let me just ask you, this won't forgive me for interrupting, but in reality, yeah. will these measures actually be respected? you thinks yeah, these are federally enforceable drinking water standards. now that needs to be actually complied with across all 50 states, you know, up to now the states, some states have tried to move forward and enforce drinking water standards for these chemicals. the companies were fighting back even suing some of the states. but now we have an enforceable federal standard that will apply across the country that a huge. but multi utilities might say that these treatments systems are expensive, which will lead to customers having to pay more than they have a point. absolutely,
1:41 am
and in fact, that's why right now, you know, our firm and working with other lawyers, we're representing hundreds of water systems, all across the country were representing states as well that it brought litigation against the makers of these chemicals. and some of these products, particularly firefighting, found that these chemicals written and sprayed all over the ground for years to actually try and make sure that the companies who caused this problem are the ones who pay the cost. not the innocent victims, not the cities, the towns, the tax payers. and we actually were able to just announce settlements with 2 of these 2 of the biggest defendants here, 3 m, and the do part companies that are agreeing to pay up to over $13000000000.00 to says to, to put toward cleaning up the drinking water in the administration today announced more funding to be available as well to folks across the country, including those with private well, so we're making progress, but this is going to be a very expensive problem. but of course,
1:42 am
many americans has been, i've been drinking this was a decades now. so how much damage do you think has already been done? as you know, unfortunately we're looking at a really serious public health right here. the science that's, that's been, that's come out over the years and a lot of it was withheld for a long time, but the scientific community that's finally seeing this data has got pretty uniform consensus now that these chemicals present pretty significant threat. particularly, you're looking at the risk of kidney cancer, testicular cancer, firewood disease, pre clamps, the cetera. then immune system impacts fertility issues. that's why you're seeing this, the proposed drinking water standards be so low be so can it's restrictive because of the concern about the potential health impacts. and we're looking at impacts that researchers have estimated to be tens of billions of dollars and health care
1:43 am
costs alone. so that's, that's why it's so important that we are able to stop this, these materials from being in our drinking water and to get the funding necessary to get it out. okay, we'll leave it there robin at thank you very much indeed. we appreciate your time. thank you so much pleasure. but almost all of the votes counted in south korea's election opposition parties are set to retain control of parliament. while they are expected to win more than $180.00 seats and the $300.00 men, the national assembly, full official results are expected to be with the east and the coming out. soaring food prices are crippling. tried by junior adults is where the biggest issues during the campaign. what do you this came isn't so for us now you this where the things done that this 1000 yeah. carry out. those very last ballots are being counted as we speak. but generally speaking, the picture remains the same. the opposition block,
1:44 am
including the democratic party and the rebuilding career party set to take 3 fifths of the seats at the national assembly with the president's conservative party side to take. now $108.00 seats at this hour. that number may shift, give or take until the numbers are final. now this means the people power a party evades the worst case scenario, as was pointed to as a possibility by the exit polls. and that is giving 2 thirds of the states to the opposition block, which would have given it some significant powers, including presidential veto overriding power, as it made a very tense, political climate here in south korea, but no way around it. this is a significant loss for the people power a party that was looking to take back the national assembly with at least 151 seats to push forward the president's agenda. so you this, where does this leave the government?
1:45 am
what actually happens next as well, what happens next will be the uh, formalization of those numbers, and we are expecting speeches to be made by relevant to major parties. and that will be kind of the 1st indications of where people stand in terms are pastoring as we had into the 2nd half of president hughes on yours 5 year term president. you and certainly had a set of things he wanted to get done. and these last 3 years, and in terms of foreign policy, analysts are saying they're not expecting any major shift as south and south korea . presidents do have some wide power as in the foreign policy space. but in terms of legislative and by extension, the overall government, the sentiment is that it will continue to be quite pessimistic. the gridlock continuing as the winters of this race, the opposition in their campaigning had campaigned on
1:46 am
a platform of judging the you and government and accountability for it as well. now i have to say that the voters did their part. they showed up 29000000 of them to cast their ballots. and those that we spoke to on wednesday said that they wanted their politicians to come back to dialogue and they want to see more consensus and unity and not let ideological lines block them from getting things done in this country. here's came. thanks so much indeed. well that's turned out to me in the way of fighting is escalating between the military gentlemen. rebel groups in the east. the buttons has been focused near the border time, the why the important trade hobbins source of revenue for the cash strapped ministry rebels say, hundreds of soldiers have surrendered by that and has increased security along its board. and as people in many tried to flee the fighting,
1:47 am
the rebel groups have made significant gains in recent weeks weakening. the military's grip on power. attorney training is on the time being not bored with more on the brother intentions. as the time military are on high alert here on the boat it with me, i'm a can see how these move again, all along the boat area with grenade launchers and heavy machine guns and all along this pathway. today we've been seeing soldiers patrolling alone. this is a friendship bridge that goes across and to me a while that we understand that was fighting since early this morning. policy that could be heard on this side of the boulder. the seems to have been a see saw since about 4 hours ago. but the bridge remains open. people have still been going across. hundreds have come across from me a while the trying to escape the fighting that they fit could get worse. and it is
1:48 am
just a ceasefire. we think for the moment, the battalion battalion 275, that still remains inside me and what is clearly not given up. as i think the korean army that's fighting the military hopes that it might. and we understand they may have been reinforced today from the provincials capitals. this is a vice sole trader. it a $1000000000.00 passes across this bridge every year. and that is vital revenue for a military government, enough adults. it's facing very difficult times. tony checking out to 0 on the time you on my board. so the head on the program, russia intensifies its attacks and eastern ukraine's. at least 3 people have been killed and car keys

1:55 am
about doing this, eat holiday i'll to more than 6 months of war, u. n is waiting. that's time in this setting, in a much of the strip has been reduced to rubble. but people in rough doing the best to to keep traditions are nice. but how many judging has more despite the horrors of israel's war on gaza at this toy shop in the fine children and adults seek a bit of fun. customers are looking for gifts to give during what supposed to be a festive season. the shopkeeper committed, somebody says this normal bond and or you can fit the or nothing like years past the. there is no joy or appetite for celebrating the whole the occasions. even children, they have no interest in choice as it wasn't the best. this is the worst season we have of a lift. sentiment resoundingly echoed throughout this series market. at this clothing store,
1:56 am
sales would typically be booming and the final days of rumbled on. but this year it's different than the last year we used to keep our shops open until the early hours of the next morning. throughout the month of ramadan. these days will put 10 am to close at 5 pm. there are about 1500000 displaced, palestinian sheltering in the southern gaza city over they are among those most in need. we are suffering on all fronts. people can hardly survive, can hardly feed that families. we no longer think of age or celebration or any other form of joy. and while joy may be in short supply, it doesn't stop others from doing all they can to uphold some holiday traditions. well, i thought it was annoying. honestly, it's very tough, especially staying in attempts instead of our house in this warm weather. however, we're trying our best to up list ourselves. we're attempting to create aid on the
1:57 am
sphere by making a heed cakes, which has been very challenging. imagine preparing a cakes, when there was no water or food available with some and gauze, and now facing famine and wood worries only increasing that israel's promise ground invasion. and prof. i may start at any time finding the right ingredients to make the spiced holiday suite has been extremely difficult to us. yeah, we are using very basic ingredients. we used to buy the ingredients at an affordable price. however, everything is now expensive. so medina and dates are now way more expensive. so we are trying, for instance, to use less data based to stuff the cookies, as well as reducing vicki, the flour and other ingredients that are now scarce. but in this makeshift shelter, scarcity is no match for resilience. where these palestinian women and girls find little solace, but do everything in their power to find and give
