Hello im christine welcome to the program. Theres been a dramatic escalation in the standoff over rescue ships carrying migrants from africa hoping for a new life in europe and Aid Organization bush with more than 40 refugees on board has stocks in the italian portal. In defiance of the band imposed by the hardline interior minister. And that the vessel also carrying migrants is standing by in a safe harbor to offload its human. The alex enters the port of lampedusa on board at least 41. 00 migrants including several pregnant women crewmembers say the conditions on board were unbearable. Yaml be sure that we are convinced that we are acting within the law and above all for the dignity and safety of the people on board with this. Another rescue ship is waiting outside italian waters 65 migrants are aboard the alan currency operated by german n. G. O. S c. I. Crew members say they rescued them from a dinghy with no g. P. S. Navigation aids and only 10 liters of water the crew told d. W. They refused to return the migrants to the closest port in libya despite an offer from the Libyan Government to take them in instead they headed for italy. The next space parks for us so we just followed maritime law and went to the next part. We were. To lampedusa now we are the coast this morning we had the goddess you know on board they made a check up of the people. Informed us about that the crates of the need and now we are waiting for further instructions. Italian interior minister matty salvini denied the rescue ship permission to arrive in lampedusa even if the migrants were to be distributed to other countries in europe as suggested by his german counterpart salvini says its very clear who is responsible here he says its a german ship and so it should go to germany. But the migrants aboard the alan kirti hope their ship will also dock in lampedusa regardless of what italys author ities say. All right on it is in just a hi amy and so we know that the boat has stopped has anybody been allowed also to test. Well christine you might be able to see it behind me there are some lights back there one person has come off in a stretcher thats the only person we know of so far thats come off the rest of about 40 migrants are still on board a spokesperson from military you know which is the italian angio that operates the alex ship she told me after such a long time waiting on it see they cant understand why theyre still on the port here and they havent come off the boat now some ambulances have come what ive seen in the past few days as other migrant ships have arrived is that the ambulances come they put them on the ambulance or into a van and take them to the Immigration Center which is inland that hasnt happened yet but theyre standing by. Ok so that hasnt happened yet so can we expect pretty much of this is the same procedure that will be followed if they have the migrants on board will be allowed will save you it seems to be so its the same port the coast guard is taking has taken over from then they docked on the other side which is thats where my ferry came into this island but theyve been taken over to. A part of the port that belongs to the coast guard so it looks like its going to be standard procedure at least thats what meditation and there is hoping for what is unclear is whats going to happen to the crew and the captain of course they disobeyed italian orders to come into port ok man and then what about the german c. I but risky but as we understand theyre still in limbo whats the name is there. Well the cia as you said is still out at sea theyre waiting off the shore of lampedusa several miles out they are a much larger boat theyre not a small as the sail boat behind me so they have a lot of resources and they cant use them more as easily declare a state of emergency as a sail boat did we saw people even with just blankets over the head to protect them from the sun here whereas the c. I. Their boats the allen curdie is a very large vessel and is equipped to deal with longer waits in the sea but of course they also say lampedusa is the closest safe port they want to come in here despite what the Italian Government says all right thats.

Its to the gambia now we all fortys are investigating allegations against the former president hes accuses say he committed human rights abuses during his 22 years in power with charges he denies several women say that was 60 assaulted and abused by the former president. And being the silence and demanding an end to the abuse and ensuring rights of only women who gambia father john who is back home after she came forward to tell her story she alleges she was drugged and raped by the countrys president. She knew going public would put her life in danger and for the last few years shes been living in canada she now wants to use her voice to empower others. Is a very difficult conversation and it takes so much to come out and because the president who has been a president an expresident has been accused of the courage. To confront it and to speak my truth i think people are finding it very compelling and also want to tell their own stories let me tell you the german who gambia as a brutal dictator for 22 years but lost the elections in 2016 and fled into exile in equitorial gamey. Speaking out was her only choice wanted to bring the conversation here because i think its important and its time that we break you know the circle and the silence and a lot of women are really suffering so i am is fired by woman i am motivated by all the horrendous other stories of being here and i think its not fair for your argument to be in it kotori again it was my silence protects what he has done to me. Not going to go out of. Genoa hopes the investigation will encourage other women in gambia to stand up to abuse and change society for the better. For the world cup now in sweden have taken 3rd place of the tournament beating england 21 to talk us through the action im joined now by tom you know if. Its a c. Is so sweet and have the consolation of getting the bronze medal help please will they be well i mean is there nothing its 3rd place unfortunately is really the. Thats all true but no one wants to win now the english coach phil neville. Said that when he didnt want to move in so for this game he had to be reminded by a colleague that its only a bronze medal although if you hold it in the right light it looks a little bit like home. For him thats not a consolation that hes going to get to enjoy it because him will be in 21 by the swedes in nice heres how that came a vote. The penultimate game at the womens world cup offered consolation to 2 teams who appeared genuine chances to sing on the big stage sweden settled 1st to take advantage of an england era with just 10 minutes going. With the 1st before the breakout star of the swedish side Sophia Jakobsen extended the late. I heard growing highlight reel from france as england looked desperate for a spot to finally ignite de di i still friend could be but the stunning solo with i the linuss could suddenly smell blood again and look to have drawn level with the opposition only to come face to face with the toughest opponent of the tournament the video assistant referee helen white for oil does video killed the football star for a 2nd strike match in the sweet finish the. The champions unite the kind champions at the u. S. Take on the netherlands in the final tomorrow but theres a bit of a story about something. Else more help than yeah thats correct now 2 mens finals are also going to be taking place tomorrow thats the gold cup final between mexico and the usa and the cup by america far no between brazil and peru yeah can you believe it now. Whos been voted out throughout the tournament is among those who are less than impressed with this scheduling decision now is of course a bit of a distraction from the womens World Cup Final with you know the biggest game in this 4 doesnt really convince anybody that the womens game is held in very high esteem now. Responsible for scheduling those 2 finals actually in the case of the cup america comment bowled the south American Federation and in the case of the gold cup calf now. The boss of kong was also about this recently he admitted that it had been an oversight that it was a mistake he said it wouldnt happen again but the. Tried to pass the buck a bit on to fifo by saying and the ultimate the day the mosses of the cat and have also said that they were involved in the process now whoever was ultimately responsible Megan Rapinoe is not very happy its who she was also a press conference earlier today what she thought about this decision and this is what she had to say now i mean this terrible scheduling for everyone dont you guys know disrespected by that i mean as you know as someone who works in football as someone who plays in football thats a terrible idea put everything on the same day in every way especially i mean obviously theres you know theres 2 other finals going on but this is the World Cup Final. You know this is like cancel everything day i quite agree ok its all about the final so theyre going to start as adults essentially some are but theyll be possible without their star player yeah thats true that might be an extra hindrance because they have possibly going to be missing the commodities now she had to go off during the half to during halftime in the in the semifinal against sweden with a foot injury so there are question marks over whether or not shes going to be able to make it on sunday shes been crucial really for japan sorry for the netherlands it was a game of course against japan in the round of 16 where shes got both goals to send them through its true of course the netherlands already going to be underdogs tomorrow but nonetheless they all the european champions and they have carved themselves away to the far north so they just be hoping that the usa will be underestimating them i think however it does have to be said the usa have been a class above all of their opponents so far at the tournament and i think theyre fairly confident that they can be able to keep their title if they do so out of 8 wins world cups in history that will mean that the usa have won 4 they really are the tonic power in this game so i think they they are right tom you know if indeed every sports so they are. Not cyclings biggest race the Tour De France is underway the 1st stage was won by dutch ride a bike and from the jumble of his of a team he took advantage of a big crash that caused mayhem near the end of the stage that was taking place across the border in belgium joined us and is the 1st step in to leave the race in 30 is and you all watching news live from berlin will leave you with someone does off the will the uns cultural at Organization Unesco is meeting to decide which places should be part of the World Heritage list here are some of the places theyve already added myself in the t.
