Well, they have a comprehensive the issue. Well, they have a comprehensive scheme the issue. Well, they have a comprehensive scheme with albania, understanding that that Balkans Route as well as the channel and the southern mediterranean, are routes which migrants use, so of course, because it has reduced the numbers, we are actually discussing with italy the schemes that they have developed notjust with albania but upstream schemes with Syria And Libya as well.

As the investigation into what happened Last Night continues, so do the ongoing discussions as to what can be done to prevent further deaths. Leigh milner, Bbc News. Earlier i spoke to Steve Valdez symonds, amnesty international uk s Refugee And Migrant rights director. He gave me his reaction to todays events. Its again utterly devastating news. Our hearts and minds are immediately with both the people who have endured and survived this tragedy, the trauma of it and, of course, The Loved Ones of those who are now dead. We urgently need something radically different from governments on both sides of these waters that offers people safety. What is the answer then . This has been talked about for so long now, we keep seeing these tragedies happening almost on a regular basis now. We heard so much, didnt we, in the Election Campaign about tackling the gangs that are organising this, what needs to be done, in your view . The answer has been the same for many years. No solution to this can be found if it does not offer the people who keep attempting these journeys, sometimes again and again and again, even having gone through a trauma such as this, if their circumstances are not addressed. And that must include providing safe routes for some of these people to reach this country and for this country therefore to share in the role of providing Asylum And Access to Safe Asylum Procedures along with france. The thing is, though, they are leaving a safe country, arent they . They are leaving france which is not a war torn country and they are willing to risk their lives to make it to england. In terms of how do you explain that motivation there . Well, Go And Have A Look at the miserable lives that people are enduring in Northern France in utterly appalling circumstances of squalor, profound uncertainty and often times violence. People are not safe. If they were safe they would not be getting into these boats. The fact is, the french have, for many years, lets be honest, received many, many, many more people into their Asylum System than has this country. And unless we share responsibility with france, just as all countries should be sharing responsibility with each other, then im afraid well continue to see tragedies like this. Israels Prime Minister, benjamin netanyahu, has warned the houthis in yemen of a heavy price after a Ballistic Missile managed to enter israeli airspace. The missile, launched from yemen, fell in an open area. There were no casualties. A spokesman for the houthis in yemen said the operation involved what he called a new hypersonic missile, which travelled more than Two Thousand kilometres in less than 12 minutes. Israel has said it is investigating how the missile was not shot down before entering the airspace. Earlier i spoke to our diplomatic correspondent Paul Adams who gave me the latest on this attack. This is an interesting attack. As you say, it didnt cause any damage, but it does not appear to have been intercepted by israels extremely sophisticated and multilayered air defence system. In fact the Israeli Army in its statement said that there had been multiple efforts to shoot it down. It appears to have broken up, and the damage caused on the ground seems to have been caused by israels own interceptor missiles. The question is, how did a Ballistic Missile fired from yemen reach israel, so far into israel, the furthest any yemeni Ballistic Missile has reached, without being intercepted . The yemenis, in a statement this morning, the houthi rebels say that they fired a new type of hypersonic missile. They say that it travelled more than 2000 kilometres in11. 5 minutes. Now, there have been claims in the past that the yemenis either had or were developing such missiles. And clearly, if such a thing has been proven today, then that is an additional challenge for the israeli military, as it figures out how to deal with this occasional threat. As for mr netanyahu, well, he has, as you say, threatened retaliation, and he has said, in his words, those who need a reminder in this matter are invited to visit the Port Of Hudaydah. That is a reference to israels extremely dramatic Air Attack on the Port Of Hudaydah back at the end ofjuly, which caused a huge fire in an Oil Storage Depot and was designed to be a major signal by the israelis to the houthis not to launch any further attacks against israel. And just as you said, there have been previous attacks by the houthis on israel, and also we have seen the attacks in the red sea, and they say that theyre doing this in support of the palestinians. I also see from that statement that you mentioned from the houthis, that they mention 7th october, and the anniversary, and have promised more attacks to come. Just explain their motivations here . Yeah, these attacks, as you say, did begin in response to the war in gaza, and the Houthi Have claimed all along that they are doing this in defence of the palestinians in gaza. Now, first of all, the americans, with the british, started to try and interfere these efforts, interfere with these efforts, by Stationing Military Assets in the red sea. Of course, the houthis were also attacking shipping in the red sea. Those attacks continue unabated. They continue to target vessels travelling through the red sea. And since the early months of the war, they have also fired projectiles towards israel. Most of those missiles have done very little damage, and very few of them have even really entered very far into israeli territory. Of course, the israeli raid on hudaydah was in direct response to a Houthi Drone which travelled even further and managed to land right in the middle of tel aviv. So, this is a threat which is occasional but it is real. And i think the israelis will be quite concerned about the latest developments today. Countries across central and Eastern Europe are facing extreme flooding as Storm Boris wreaks havoc across the continent. More Torrential Downpours are forecast until at least the end of monday. At least four people have died in romania, one person drowned in poland, while in austria, a Fire Fighter died tackling the floods there. Several remain unaccounted for in the czech republic. The rain has mainly hit the eastern part of romania. Authorities are creating Displacement Camps and sending Emergency Aid to those forced to evacuate their homes. The Torrential Rain has also hit several other countries in the region, including the czech republic, where 38 locations have declared the highest flood alert. These are the flooded streets in a town in southern poland, near the border with the czech republic. Lets get a picture of the situation in prague with our correspondent there rob cameron. Im here in the capital in prague and it looks and feels pretty bad. But actually the situation here in prague is perhaps not as critical as elsewhere in the country. Certainly in parts of north east moravia, in cities like 0strava, towns like 0pava, krnov, cesky tesin, there they are evacuating thousands of people, with one town high up in the mountains, jesenik, has been completely cut off, with the roads and the Railway Lines completely submerged by the flood waters. So, many thousands of people now are being evacuated from their homes. Most people are doing so willingly. Unfortunately, some people have refused to leave their homes and so now were seeing reports of Army And Police helicopters circulating those villages and towns along those rivers, trying to save people who refuse to leave their homes and now find themselves stranded in them. The meteorologists say that actually we have seen something like 80 of the precipitation that was due to fall over the country this weekend has now fallen, so perhaps the worst is now behind us here in the czech republic. But of course, four people still missing from these floods, they were swept into the river yesterday, late Last Night, and the authorities dont know whether they have survived. So, a dramatic picture here in prague, but much worse across the country. And from poland our correspondent in Warsaw Adam easton sent us this update. Donald tusk, the Prime Minister of poland, has been speaking after a Crisis Management Meeting in the South West of the country, just by the czech border, actually, where he confirmed the first fatality, a person has drowned here in poland, and he said 1,600 residents just in the town where he was talking from, have been evacuated, and he urged people to co operate with the Emergency Services to evacuate their homes, if they are called to do so. He also said that they had lost mobile phone coverage, internet coverage, and they are having to rely on landlines for much of the communication in this area. And also, the military are being drafted in, Military Helicopters and transporters are being drafted in to help the people in these towns which are flooded. Weve seen lots of images on Social Media being posted, particularly of this town where he was talking from, and another town, where the River Level has broken over the makeshift Sandbag Embankment and has now flooded the historic town centre. The mayor of that town has made a dramatic appeal, he has said, were drowning, everybody evacuate to higher ground. So, the situation as i say has deteriorated quite markedly here in poland. Venezuela has arrested three american citizens including a member of the military accusing them of involvement in alleged plots against president nicol s maduros government. Two spaniards and a czech national have also been detained. The foreign minister, announced the seizure of Four Hundred guns that were to be used in what he called fascist attacks. He accused the us authorities of involvement, which the State Department has denied. Now its time for a look at todays sport, with 0lly foster. Hello from the Bbc Sport centre. There are two games in the English Premier league today, the first of them is the north London Derby at tottenham which kicks off in around 45 minutes. Its the start of a tough looking week for arsenal, they play their Champions League Opener at atalanta on Thursday Night and then they are away at Manchester City next sunday. Its always the difficulty of the matches and the opponents that we are going to be facing, for sure. We have tremendous players, we have a really good squad, we are really hungry, we want to do it and to deliver what we want we need to be able to respond in these scenarios, and the team is ready. Tottenham finished fifth in the table last season but still 23 points behind arsenal. The Spurs Boss believes they can close the gap and even though its a derby says there have been no different preparations for the game. Ijust want i just want to ijust want to win, it doesnt change ijust want to win, it doesnt change for me. And i think the key to change for me. And i think the key to success is, i would really key to success is, i would really hate to think that the players really hate to think that the players in the Dressing Room would players in the Dressing Room would want to win this game more would want to win this game more than any others, or prepare more than any others, or prepare differently, or try harder prepare differently, or try harder in this game than any others, harder in this game than any others, because that is not the way forward. Just the one game in the Scottish Premiership today, rangers are looking to keep in touch with celtic and aberdeen who have both won five out of five. They are Dundee United, Tom Lawrence gave rangers a first half lead. A win would move them up to third ahead of Dundee United to third ahead of Dundee United but still five points off the top two. The azerbaijan Grand Prix is under way on the streets of baku. Charles Le Clerc started on pole for the fourth year in a row. But the Ferrari Driver is yet to win the race. Mclaren� s 0scar Piastri who started from second took the lead at the start of the 20th lap. His Team Mate Lando norris started from 15th after bad luck in qualifying, but the briton is fighting his way through the field and is currently in seventh place. Its the final day of the solheim cup. The Usa Lead 10 6 going into the singles that get going in the next half an hour in virginia. 14. 5 points are needed for the hosts to lift the trophy for the first time since 2017. Europe need just 1a to claim the title for a record fourth time in a row. They won the final two matches in the fourballs on day two to give them some hope but the usa will be heavy favourites. I think we played amazing golf, morning and afternoon, obviously it is really tough to beat the americans, they are playing some great golf, and with the Home Crowd for them it is not easy. I think we have a chance, for sure, 12 points, i dont know what the final score is going to be, but 12 points, we can win all of them, that is what we are going to try to do, Everyone Focus on their match, And Why Not . The maths is simple for great britain in the Davis Cup they have to win all three of their matches against canada to reach the finals. A crowd of around 15,000 is expected in manchester which would be a record for a gb home Davis Cup tie. Jack draper and Dan Evans will be leading their hopes. Evans is just starting the Opening Rubber against denis shapovalov. Britain have won both of their previous Davis Cup meetings with canada but have to take the 3 0 if theyre to progress to the final eight in november in spain. Lots more on the Bbc Sport website, you can keep across the cricket, the third and final t20 at Old Trafford between england and australia is very likely to be affected by the weather, thats due to start in the next hour orso, englands women are due to face ireland in dublin around the same time. And thats all the sport for now. The Polaris Dawn Spacecraft crew has safely splashed down in the gulf of mexico. Standing by for splashdown of the polaris dawn crew. And there you can see it. Applause and cheering. The mission, which was entirely crewed by private astronauts, saw Billionaire BusinessmanJared Isaacman become the first non professional astronaut to walk in space. Dr simeon barber, Space Scientist at the open university, has been following events. This mission has set a whole new standard for private space flying. So, it has gone higher than spacex has ever taken astronauts before, it actually went up three times higher than the orbit of the international space station, so that it can dip into the Radiation Belts to understand the effect of that on the human body. It then came down a little bit in orbit, and then performed this most amazing spaceflight in which all four astronauts were actually exposed to the vacuum environment. Two of them stayed inside the craft and two took their turns in coming out, having a look at the earth, just the most amazing sight, We Saw all this in live video. And they also tested the suits, so We Saw them moving their arms and doing strange dances and movements with their arms, checking the mobility of their suits. And what really has made this possible is that the spacecraft we see there, that they are sitting in, the capsule, will be reused again, and actually, its the exact capsule thatJared Isaacman, the funder of this mission, the commander, that We Saw in the shotjust now, it is the same craft he flew in exactly three years ago to the day, and it will be recommissioned now for a future flight. It is extraordinary, that, isnt it, because of what that capsule has gone through, the heat it has been exposed to, and all of those gases and everything that is on the outside of it, that it will still be viable. We should mention who is on board, Jared Isaacman is this billionaire, hes the only one actually who has been in space before, isnt he . Thats right. There was talk about this being a rookie crew, which is technically correct, but theyve gone through an amazing amount of training to make them able to do this. So, theres an Ex Air Force test pilot, scott, and then sarah and anna are spacex employees who previously had been operating these Space Missions from the ground, and who better to then go into space and actually operate the mission from the craft itself, than people who previously have been responsible for operating from ground . So, weve seen a really groundbreaking mission, that has gone incredibly smoothly, and has been filmed for us all to watch, its been like a five Day Movie to watch, for me. In the us, its the Emmy Awards tonight, which take place in Los Angeles. Shows including hits like Baby Reindeer and the crown are vying for recognition. Before that, though, was the bafta red Carpet Tea Party and a chance to celebrate the nominations. 0ur Los Angeles correspondent Emma Vardy went along and sent us this report. Take a 5 Star Rooftop in beverly hills, some famous faces, and you have the baftas tea party. But no one is drinking much tea. It is the Emmys Weekend and at the warm up, everybody is a winner. This is where all the stars get to rub shoulders and let their hair down a little bit. Make this quick. Ive got underlings to bully. Slow horses starring Gary 0ldman has nine nominations, including for best drama. Another game being played that will probably leave me worse off. First i thought Gary 0ldman performance, really . And hesjust mastered it. Itsjust perfect. It is an honour to be selected for fieldwork. Shut up. The Royal Drama The Crown marks its final series with 18 nominations. I think One Of Us is going to have to die now. But its the controversial netflix series Baby Reindeer that really got people talking. They drama about stalking and sexual abuse became a massive hit. Got really manly hands, havent you . But the show, which claims to be a true story, is now the subject of a legal battle, after audiences tried to identify the characters they believed the show was based on. Its been a World Wind and im still catching my feet, still trying to figure it all out. Anything You Wish had been done differently . I cant really answer that right now, because you cant change the past. There was an incredible Uk Press focus on the negative, but you cant ignore the positive impact Baby Reindeer has had. And the nomination for supporting actress makes her the first transgender woman in her category. I didnt think it would embrace it as they have added means the world was ready for the conversation. The fallout from Baby Reindeer could have repercussions for the Tv Industry in the future in terms of how it deals with drama that involves characters in real life. But right now, they are here to enjoy their success. Then it will be down to the Serious Business Of Seeing who will walk away with a new piece of metal for their mantel piece.
