45 people, including three children, had been on the vessel, which set off from the tunisian city of sfax last thursday. 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. These pictures show Rescue Workers helping migrants in trouble around the lampedusa coast at the weekend, one of several rescues in recent days. 0ur rome correspondent, sofia bettiza, has been following the story. This is another tragedy in the mediterranean sea. Only four people survived, the three men and a woman from guinea and the ivory coast. They said they were on board a ship with 45 people in total, including three children. They described it as a very small metal boat about seven metres long. They said that after a few hours at sea, the boat capsized and sank, apparently because of a big wave. It threw everybody into the water and they said that only 15 people were wearing life jackets and they had to wait in the water for hours before finally being rescued by a cargo ship. Those four people who survived are now in lampedusa, in the south of the country. They are safe, according to local media that they are in shock and being questioned by the authorities who are trying to get to the bottom of what happened. Tell me more about the numbers of migrants arriving in italy, or trying to reach italy, they have been rising, havent they in recent years . They have. Just to give you a number, this year, nearly 94,000 migrants reached italy by sea. If you take that number and compare it to last year, that has more than doubled. The number of people trying to get to europe through italy is going up. This is a very dangerous journey, according to the un, it is by far the most dangerous migrant route in the world. That is because since 2014, more than 17,000 people died or disappeared in the Central Mediterranean trying to reach europe in search of a better life. Live now to richard braude, an activist for the Civil Society organisation ar ci. He works alongside migrants in a Community Centre in palermo. I wanted to find out a little bit more about those migrants who try to get to italy. What are people trying to escape from and how difficult is thatjourney .

The stories of the people trying to get to europe | that journey . The stories of the people trying to get to europe from all sorts of countries are incredibly varied and complex. I think we are used to people talking about People Escaping War Zones but what is important to remember is that these are people who are looking for better lives, looking for ways to improve their childrens Future Orjust for ways to improve their childrens future or just to for ways to improve their childrens Future Orjust to get to their families. That happens a lot with people that we meet who are coming from tunisia. 0ften people that we meet who are coming from tunisia. Often they have family in italy or other European Countries and there is no way for them to get here, except by taking these extremely dangerous routes. Given the number extremely dangerous routes. Given the number of extremely dangerous routes. Given the number of people extremely dangerous routes. Given the number of people who extremely dangerous routes. Given the number of people who have died trying to make thatjourney, what more do you think european governments need to do to try and help these people before these things end in tragedy . I help these people before these things end in tragedy . Help these people before these things end in tragedy . I think that is the ri. Ht things end in tragedy . I think that is the right question. Things end in tragedy . I think that | is the right question. Governments need to be giving visas, they need to make safe way to get to europe, to make safe way to get to europe, to take a plane with documents to come here. Instead what european and Italian Governments have been doing for decades, more over recent years, is actively trying to stop people coming by leaving them to die at sea. These deaths are the responsibility of criminal groups and our governments who leave people to die. With italy, it is more clear, just now, the new government has made a government with the tunisian government, a government who over the past three years has been bringing in dictatorial measures, clamping down on free speech and inviting pogroms against black africans. Instead of condemning that, the Italian Government has done a deal, to stop the migrant route and stop people from coming instead of trying to recognise that it needs to be accepting people and giving people asylum.

I Police Officers in Northern Ireland say theyre shocked and angry after a data breach 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. It 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. The uk Information Commissioner has launched an investigation. 0ur 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. 0ur 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.

On the police staff side, we get and what is referred to as danger money, we get £580, our Police Colleagues getjust over £3500, the Department Ofjustice who employ both sets of staff, we have not had any progress in the last three years to get a higher amount paid to us.

Although the country often suffers summer fires, these come amid a ferocious heatwave, with temperatures reaching 46. 4 degrees celsius this week. Fifteen hundred residents and tourists have been evacuated from an area around 0demira. 0ur Correspondentjenny Hill reports from the affected region. Scorched earth still smouldering. The fires consumed 40 square miles of land. Here, flames swept up the valley, right up to the southern town of 0deceixe. 0n the outskirts, destruction. But somehow the community itself was spared. There is a really strong smell here. It is notjust of the smoke, it is eucalyptus and pine those are the trees which line this landscape, and they have been consumed by the fire. After three heatwaves, the ground is now extremely dry and extremely vulnerable. It is five days since this fire started. Firefighters have contained much of it but they are still battling on the southern front. It is difficult, dangerous work. For those who live here, these are traumatic days. Translation it was horrible. There was fire everywhere and we had to fend for ourselves. Nobody was there to help us but luckily i had Three Friends who came. The firemen who where there found themselves surrounded by fire and we asked them for help but it wasnt possible. In spain, too, a heightened risk of wildfires. The authorities have warned that Heatwave Conditions will peak today. Temperatures in the south could hit 44 celsius. Translation we already know that summers are getting hotter and hotter with Climate Change, so we will have to prepare and train ourselves to cope as well as possible with this heat. Portugal remains on high alert. Even as communities assess the damage, the fire is not yet done.
