Four survivors originally from the ivory coast and guinea gave their accounts to coastguards after being brought ashore. The three men and a woman had initially been rescued by a cargo ship. On monday, according to a recent report from the International Organisation for migration at least 4m refugees drowned between january and march, marking the deadliest three month period since 2017. The report also reveals over the past decade, the Mediterranean Sea has claimed around 25,000 lives. These grim numbers do not fully capture the extent of the tragedy as the actual death toll might be even higher. In recent days there have been a number of rescues from the island and these pictures from the weekend Show Rescue Workers helping migrants in trouble on the lampedusa coast. 0ur rome correspondent sofia bettiza has been following the story. This is not the first tragedy in the Mediterranean Sea this year. As you mentioned, we do know that 41 migrants died, and they were killed in a shipwreck off the coast of italys island of lampedusa which is in the south of the country in sicily. This is all being reported by italian media and the news agency ansa and they have spoken to the only four people who survived the shipwreck. As you said, three men and one woman from the ivory coast and from guinea. So what they said is that they were on a boat that had set off from tunisia on thursday, trying to reach italy. They described it as a very small metal boat, about seven metres long. They said that 45 people were on board and that includes three children. They said that they were at sea for about six hours, which is not very long. They were sailing in the sicilian channel, and thats when the boat capsized and sank. Apparently the boat capsized because of a very big wave that threw everybody on board into the water. The survivors said out of the 45 people on the boat, only 15 of them were wearing life vests. They were left in the water at sea for several hours before they were rescued by a cargo ship, and brought to the island of lampedusa today. Earlier i spoke to lukas kaldenhoff, from sos humanity, a search and rescue Organisation Operation in the mediterranean about the scale of this issue. It was not only this one shipwreck that occurred in the past days, so from what we know, there have been several shipwrecks, and a total of approximately 130 people who died or went missing in the last days. This is absolutely devastating numbers, but at the same time, it shows once again that there is huge necessity for states to take responsibility to send vessels capable of rescuing people to coordinate such cases. There are a new italian laws which are restricting rescues at sea. How are those laws impacting on your organisation and the work that you do . The main problem we have with the current law is the fact that after one rescue which is performed by civil vessels like our rescue vessel, humanity one, we are sent to a place of safety to disembark these people which is actually a good thing, but it keeps us from rescuing more people in distress. And the problem is that these places of safety are often far away in northern italy, so it takes is up to five days to go there, disembark the people and then another five or six day journey down south. That means that Rescue Vessels cannot be coordinated to distress cases, cannot Rescue People in distress, even though they would have the capacity to do so and this is absolutely irresponsible and putting the lives of people at sea at huge risk. Nine bodies have been found and two more people are feared dead after a fire at a Holiday Home Hosting people with Learning Difficulties in france. The cause of the fire in the town of wintzenheim, near the border with germany, is not yet clear. 17 people were evacuated from the building, while at least one person has been taken to hospital.

Police officers in Northern Ireland say theyre shocked and angry after a data breach that revealed Sensitive Information about them. Yesterday the Police Service of Northern Ireland published the names, roles and Work Locations of all its staff by mistake. Its blamed human error and apologised. But officers are now worried about their safety and fear dissident republican groups could use the information to target them. Our ireland correspondent chris page reports. Police officers everywhere deal with danger. But in this part of the uk, the risks are especially stark. Members of the Police Service of Northern Ireland take steps to protect their identities, and the media agree not to show theirfaces. So the publication of personal Details Online has caused distress. This has the potential to be a major security breach. Its a serious loss of data. Our Officers Trust the psni to make sure that when they have their data that they hold it and hold it appropriately, and not to be disclosing things like this into the public domain. The problem came about after a routine request for data under freedom of information laws. The response should have focused on the number of staff working at different grades, but the police also released a spreadsheet by mistake. It contains the surname, initials, rank and Work Department of every employee. The data was published on this website for around two hours yesterday afternoon. I do apologise to officers. This is unacceptable. In terms of the security for individuals, there is nothing at the moment to suggest there is any immediate security concerns, but we have put actions in place to ensure that if anything does arise, we will be aware of that. Tomorrow there will be an Emergency Meeting of the policing board, which holds Senior Officers to account. Politicians who will be there want to know how the data breach could affect staff in different areas. What is a realistic assessment of the threat level against these individuals . That threat level will not be uniform. I would imagine somebody who is an officer working undercover, for example, will feel at more risk than a civilian with a deskjob at police headquarters. We need a really realistic assessment of the implications of this leak. Earlier this year, the official Terrorism Threat Level here was raised from substantial to severe. That came after the Attempted Murder of a senior detective. John caldwell was shot by the new ira, a dissident republican Paramilitary Organisation which is opposed to the peace process. The police have said the data breach was the result of human error, but there are questions, concerns and fears about the potential consequences. Ive been speaking with sam mcbride hes the Northern Ireland editor at the Belfast Telegraph and sunday independent. He told me how much data is out there and who has retained it. We do know how much of this data is out there, we dont know who has access to it and that right now is the really important thing. In this spreadsheet, there are 345,000 fields of data in relation to 10,799 psni employees who are both Serving Officers and other Support Staff who are acting in a back up Civilian Role within the Police Service. That is among some of the most Sensitive Data which the psni holds. Some of these people are identified as working in intelligence, in surveillance, in Close Protection teams to guard senior politicians in Northern Ireland and garda senior judges from terrorist attack, people who are working in armed response units, in pilots, in the air unit, and almost a0 psni officers who are revealed in this document to be stationed at m15s headquarters in Northern Ireland in county down. Thats just astonishing information, to even be released internally, within the psni, let alone just to be dumped into the public like this. So the information, the data, sam, is classified from what you are saying, but what kind of numbers are we talking about, how many officers are affected here . 6,500 psni officers, the remainder of the 10,000 number is made up of people who are not police officers, but who are working for the police, some of them in very sensitive roles but some who are typists or working at a level which is not significant at a Security Sense but anybody who works at the police know to be discreet about that in Northern Ireland. There are people in Northern Ireland who are serving police officers, one contacted me last night, who in his case has not told his family what he does for a living. There are people who have not told some of their closest friends, they have moved away from their areas, they have given very elaborate stories to their friends as to what they do, where they work and how they operate and suddenly in an instance this has been blown open, not by some foreign hostile force, not by terrorist organisations hacking into the psni, but by an astonishing self act of the psni almost attacking itself in terms of undermining what it has told its officers to do. Around the world and across the uk. This is bbc news. Lets look at some other stories making news. Some senior conservatives . Up to cabinet level . Believe the party should campaign to leave the European Convention on human rights at the next General Election . If rwanda flights continue to be blocked by a european court. A Government Spokesperson said it believed it could stop illegal crossings while remaining party to the convention. A bbc investigation has discovered thousands of people on Universal Credit are having money deducted to pay their utility bills, despite a legal case that challenged the policy. Anyone on old style benefits must give consent but it isnt required from those on Universal Credit. The Department For Work And Pensions insists it strikes a fair balance. The Financial Conduct Authority is warning about the dangers of fake loan offers, as more people turn to credit. Loan fee fraud where someone pays a fee for a loan they never receive typically results in a £260 loss. The fca says last year there was a 26 per cent increase in complaints from consumers about these scams. Youre live with bbc news. The eight countries that share the amazon basin have fallen short of an agreed goal to end deforestation. Delegates from the countries are meeting in the brazilian city of bel m for a two day summit on the issue, the first such gathering in 1a years. The lengthy road map outlined in the city of belem promotes sustainable development, an end to deforestation, and fighting the organised crime that fuels it. Our South America Correspondent Katy Watson is in belem where the conference is taking place. Day one of the summit ended in the declarations. Amazonian countries coming together to commit to working together to solve the problems facing the amazon. People felt that theyve fell short on issues such as coming to an agreement on zero deforestation by 2030. They committed to working together to help towards the situation but without going to zero deforestation. I think it comes down to corsage optimism, the brazilian promised it has been optimistic about getting down to this zero deforestation, other countries want to improve the matter but havent committed on how confident they are on taking deforestation out as a whole. You have eight countries working together in a massive area, a very difficult terrain, nobody is in doubt of wanting to make things better, but how far they can go is the question everyone is asking. Andr guimar es is the Executive Director of the Amazon Environmental Research institute, hes based in the Brazilian Capital Brasilia and he gave me his reaction to the leaders not managing to agree on a joint deforestation plan. On one hand. Im a bit frustrated because of the lack of of concrete targets and concrete goals in the document that was signed yesterday. But on the other hand, it represents an initiation of of a dialogue amongst these leaders that havent sat around the same table for 1a years. So i think i still have a hope that these documents can serve as as a driver for for bringing the commitments to the table and bringing the Civil Society, the private sector, the financial sector, to Work Together with governments to reach the objectives of that document. We have to stop deforestation. Thats a challenge. And we cant stop deforestat
