Few minutes. Political violence in thailand as three are killed in an antigovernment protest camp. The dark side of paradise. Sex trade taking place in kenyas premiere tourist spot. Hello. Welcome to bbc world news. This is the scene live at the soma mine in western turkey where workers are still trying to find 150 missing miners. The countrys president is visiting the sites. We understand now it is the countrys a worst ever industrial accident. He has just arrived apparently. Turkeys trade unionses have called a one day national strike. Its now known 280 miners died when the huge explosion and fire ripped through the coal 0j9 three daysa. L3ui of national m have begun. The president is under pressure. Antigovernment protests on wednesday in the capital. Police fired tear gas and Water Cannons at 800 protestors there. An electrical fault triggered the explosion. Many more than usual werell7 working because of the shift change. The mine is deep. Z sure where people may still be trapped. People the explosion cut off power supply. Some has now been restored. Critically t ventilation system has stopped. Pumping in fresh air now but oxygen levels have dropped because coal sucks in oxygen. The lack of ventilation means levels of Carbon Monoxide have been rising. That is potentially toxic. We are in soma. Well try to catch up in a moment. A little earlier we had an update on the recovery operation from the secretary general from the volunteer search and rescue association in turkey. We have to divide the mine two parts, inside and outside. Theres a special team formed in 1938 going into the mine with training, capabilities and equipment. Theyre working day and night to reach all the miners inside the mine. Due to the fact there was a fire and then the high level of Carbon Monoxide and so much time has passed by, its mostly expected at the moment all these lives were lost. Its obviously all families waiting for information about relatives or loved ones. I would say most of them are ready for the worst news that their loved ones have lost their lives. Last night there were 80 people at the air vent who wanted to run a away from the smoke. I think the fire got them beforehand. Unfortunately they lost their lives at the air vent. All the work at the moment done by the search and rescue teams there is to get into this part of the mine where 80 people are expected to be and try to recover the bodies from there. Lets get more with the bbc turkish service. Trade Unions National strike could go on some time. A lot of pressure also in this tragedy for the government. Yes. Lots of strikes for today. Theyre not going to work. Theyve already started gathering in some places. Almost 3,000 have gathered walking to the building of the minister of labor. Were going to see lots of that. They announced protests among 13 cities in turkey. Lots of people are expected to protest today. Of course richard has scene a lot of demonstrations upon his administration in the past year. A damaging photograph has emerged hasnt it . Lets see if we can see that now about one of these protestors. Yeah. In the photograph, we can see a protestor held by two soldiers on the ground. The Prime Minister adviser is kicking that guy. Yesterday we called him to confirm if hes the person on the photograph. He said yes its me on the photograph. We wanted to ask if he was kicking and what happened there. He didnt want to comment further. He said hes going to make a Statement Today to the press and we can receive the details from his statement. We can say weve confirmed hes the one on the picture. We dont know anything further. Okay. You know, terrible tragedy for everyone involved here. More than 280 killed. 150 we understand still missing. What has the response been around turkey on social media for example . Exactly. On social media people are really hopeful at first that more people were going to be survived. As the time passes, for example, the last 12 hours, no one has been rescued. People are getting more angry and more furious. We can see that from their facebook profiles from twitter, for example theyre changing their profile pictures with black pictures or theyre sharing the photographs of the dead bodies and for example there was this guy who was rescued from the mine, the worker. He was saying he wanted to take off his boots because he didnt want to carry the dark to the ambulance. This was very emotional for lots of people. It was highly shared on social media as well. We can see that people are getting angrier every hour. The photograph of the Prime Ministers advisor is rising the social media as well. Today many unions and Many Organizations called for protests. Well see whats going to happen. Okay. Thank you very much indeed. Reports from northeast nigeria say theres been another attack by suspected militants of the group boko haram. Explosions have been heard in the town of gala. That town you may remember was the scene of a massacre last week. Lets get more with our editor of the bbc Housing Service who joining us from the nigerian capital abuja. That massacre last week, 300 dead then. What has happened today . Today we had reports of explosions near the border of nigeria. Witnesses said early in the morning they had the explosion. They are not sure what these are. Theyre terrified to go out because of what happened last week. There was an attack in the village 12 kilometers. Last night the gunmen went in the village and raced down the whole village. All they can see is one or two houses remaining. Luckily he said most the people from the village ran away when they heard the gunmen approaching. The gunmen killed two people in the village. What about protection for these people here . When the school was raided three to four weeks ago and girls were abducted there was criticism the fact that the army was never to be seen. Indeed. People are complaining despite the emergency in this area, they cannot see military personnel roaming act. These areas they complain roots taken by the militants. Theyre calling on government to look at routes and put personnel around the area. Most villages are not provide by the mill fair. I think in the search of missing girls, were not hearing enough from the government on what state the government is on the moment. Thank you very much in deed. Just breaking news were just getting out of sudan. A woman has been sentenced to death and 100 lashes after being found guilty of adultery. The woman concerned is marium isaac. She was asked to repent and refused. When asked by the judge if she converted she responded she was a christian. Shes the mother of a 5yearold boy. Shes expected to give birth to her second child soon. The punishment would not be in place until she finished breastfeeding her new child after two years of giving birth. Youre watching bbc world news. Its time to catch up with aaron. More news on that turkish mining disaster. As youve been hearing, trade yuaunions calling for a strike. They say the privatation has led to more disasters. Turkey is undergoing some of the fastest Energy Demand growth in the world. Much of that demand is for electricity. Coal produce more than a quarter of turkeys electricity. The country wants to become more selfreliant, selfsufficient has prompted huge efforts. Coal mining is among the worst in the world. 3000 have died in accidents since 1941. If i break down that down in the last 12 years, nearly 1200 have died. In comparison, the u. S. Where production has increased 62 in the last 40 years, fatal injuries have decreased 92 . Thank you indeed. Were going back to soma in western turkey. The president abdullah gul has arrived at the mine where more than 280 have now been confirmed dead in what is the countrys worst industrial disaster. Another 150 are still missing. President gul arriving at this mine after the arrival yesterday of the turkish Prime Ministerer do began. When he arrived he was booed by relations of the coalminers of not doing enough for the safety mining record around the country. You cant actually see the president in that throng of people at the moment, but he is surrounded by numerous body guards. Tight security indeed at the mine given what happened yesterday. And indeed demonstrations and clashes between riot police and protestors in the turkish capital an capital yesterday. Theres the mine that goes more than a mile underground. Fires were burning today. Combination of fire and deadly Carbon Monoxide is hampering the effort. Most people weve been speaking to say theres little if no hope of finding any survivors inside this mine. Its been private xized the last ten years or so. Cost cutting there has led to a plummeting of cost of producing tons of coal. Thats something the chief executive of the company was very proud about recently. As i say, abdullah gul surrounded by very heavy security at this soma mine west part of turkey west of istanbul. These are the latest pictures coming in. If we can get a tighter picture of the president , we can return to live pictures in a moment. Now deadly violence over taking thailands crisis. Three have been killed in a grenade attack on the protest camp. Demonstrators want the senate to remonth move the government and administration. Protestors disrupted a meeting looking at organizing new elections. Theyve already stopped one election. Now the antigovernment Street Movement is determined to stop another. They arrived at air force base north of bangkok where a meeting was held to plan a new polling day for july. Inside the recently appointed acting Prime Minister trying to persuade Election Officials that the new election in july is possible. Outside the crowd is showing how 8 the Government Authority is. Despite the lines of police, they simply broke through. Led as always by the man whos become the face of this campaign to reshape thai politics. Hec missed meeting the Prime Minister by minutes. I want to meet him. I want to talk, he said. He went on to insist he has the countrys best interest at heart. What his movement is demanding is the overthrow of a government thats won every election in the past 14 years and still popular in much of the country. There have been dire warnings of a violent backlash if he succeeds. This perhaps is a fore taste. No one has admitted carrying out the Early Morning attack on sleeping protestors. They believe it was the secretive armed militants who operate on the fringes of pro government red shirt movement. Two grenades were fired then sustained gunfire in the area with plenty of soldiers, another sign of fragility. With the weakened police force, it may never be known whos behind this attack or who proceeded it. There will be more as the movement is given free reign to bring down the government.

Turkeys president gul visits the scene of the countrys worst ever mining accident which has claimed more than 280 lives so far. As yet more bodies are recovered, unions Stage National strikes to demand better conditions. Outrage as the prime minuter is seen kicking a protestor. In a nigerian town, 300 were massacred last week. Just a week to go before the european elections, could candidates from the left and right come out on top . Hello. Welcome to bbc world news. Lets show you the scene a short time ago at the soma mine in western turkey where president gul has arrive at that time site of what is the countrys worst industrial accident. It comes as hope is fading of finding 150 missing miners alive. Turkish trade unions have called a national strike. Its now known more than 280 died when the huge explosion ripped through the mine. Two days of National Mourning has begun. Izing the mind. The police are firingsn 787 were working underground, many more than usual because of a shift change. The mine is deep and no one can be sure where people may still beq1 trapped. The explosion cut c off the pow supply puts lights and lifts out of action. Some power has been restored. Critically the ventilation system has stopped. Theyre pumping in fresh air, but oxygen levels have dropped. Freshly exposed coal sucks in oxygen. Levels of Carbon Monoxide have been rising. That extreme are that is extremely toxic. Lets start with abdullah gul. We saw the arrival yesterday. What reception did the president get . Reporter when he first came, he didnt face any kind of reaction. It was quiet. Relatives were quiet. He went in, visited the mine. As he came out, people started showing some sort of reaction because of their frustration. One of them shouted because you are coming here because of your visit here, because of all the security measures, the rescue operations are getting harmed, being damaged because of this. Get out of here, he said. He was clearly very frustrated. His friends, maybe relatives, tried to shut him up, the this particular person. He was a protestor against the president. Yesterday of course it was much more tense compared to what has happened today. The Prime Minister compared to the president faced huge reaction. His car was kicked by protest thor ers because they were upset with his visit. As far as we can tell, the president faced some reaction. It wasnt that harsh. Is there any hope at all that any of these missing miners will be found alive . If we are realistic, there is not much hope. It has been over 40 hours since the accident took place. They only had gas masks to protect them from the possible Carbon Monoxide poisoning which was the fact hundreds of people died there according to the Energy Ministers statements. That gas mask only saved them for 40 minutes. Were talking 40 hours. It is very unrealistic to expect survivors from underground today. If theyre realistic, ive spoke ton a father who had a son down under. He was waiting for his sons body. He wanted to see his body and bury it. What sort of Safety Record does this mine have . Theres a strike of unions concerned about safeties and inspections across the mining industry. Reporter this mine was private xized in 2007. This mine doesnt have a good record. There have been fatal accident, of course not comparable to this size. There have been fatal accidents. Two weeks ago a understand, inquiry for parliamentary investigation about whats happening in the soma mines was put forward by an opposition. That was rejected by the government. Thats another reason people here are frustrated with the government. Not only 280 miners have died here. They believe the government has not taken enough precautions against the accident taking place. Thanks indeed. Theres been a lot of controversy not only this but also with government advisors. A picture has emerged. Talk us through it. Yeah. This is the picture of the Prime Ministers advisor kicking a protestor in soma where the horrible accident happened. Two soldiers are holding this protestor down. It was shared on social media, and it emerged very criticisms against the government and against the politicians by the people. Has he confirmed its obviously him isnt it . Yes. We called him yesterday. He said it was him on the picture. We wanted to ask further questio questions, but he didnt want to comment. He said he would be making a statement about it. Weve share had the on social media as well as news. There were reactions from people asking if he hasnt already resigned or if he made a statement when hes going to make a statement. We dont have the answers for that. We are expecting a Statement Today for the press. This is more trouble of course for the process. How do they compare with other protests against him in recent months . We cannot say theres no connection. There was harsh responses by the police against the protestors in turkey. We may say that people are already feeling angry with the government. Some were feeling angry with the the government and were not pleased with the recent election results. Weve seen a similar process during the may day in turkey because people were not allowed to gather in the places they want to in the center of the istanbul. So weve seen a Similar Police reaction. Yesterday people gathered again to send their condolences to mine workers. The police reacted again and used tear gas and water against these people. So were expecting lots of protests today. Were also expecti ining a poli reaction as well. That came family protests. Thank you very much indeed for joining us. Now reports from northeast nigeria say theres been another attack by suspected members of the Islamic Militant group boko haram. Explosions have been heard in the town of ngala. The scene of of the massacre last week where 300 were killed. People in the town talked of hearing the blasts early in the morning. Today we heard explosions in this town near to the border of nigeria. Eyewitnesses said in the morning, they heard explosions. They are not sure what they are. They are terrified to go out because of what happened last week. There was another attack in the village about 12 kilometers. Last night the gunmen went into the village and raced down almost the whole village. A resident told us all he can see is one or two houses remaining. Luckily he said most the people from the village ran away when they heard the gunmen approaching. The gunmen killed two people in the village. What about protection for these people here . Of course when the school was raided three to four weeks ago and girls abducted, there was criticism that the fact the army was never to be seen. Yeah, indeed. People are complaining that despite the emergency in this area, they cannot see military personnel roaming about. These are areas they complain are routes taken by the government theyre calling on government to make sure military personnel are around the area. Most are vulnerable. Theres no protection provided by military. Were not hearing enough of this, enough from the government on that such. Editor of the bbc Housing Service in abuja.

Theres been another meet manage london attended by the secretary of state john mccakerry of frie of syria group. Lets get more from bridget. They wanted to add more support to opposition groups but which .

The Foreign Ministers get together with the big european countries. France, britain, germany, so on. U. S. , turkey, countries of the gulf. Saudi arabia and others. Its always been to provide a demonstration of support for that moderate opposition. Demonstration has got worst. They last met in january. Its hard to feel like theyre getting much work. Peace talks got nowhere. This week there was a resignation. In fight among the different political opposition groups on the ground the moderates have been squeezed. Its not the islamists fighting each other, fighting moderates. While theyre distracted theyre losing ground to assad whos bombarding rebel parts of the country, taking homes. Hes feeling confident after the president ial elections for june 3. The British Government may say the democracy. The fact remains the humanitarian situation gets worse, continues to deteriorate. All along they said were not going to arm you. Were scared arms might get to the wrong people. Is it non lethal aid . Training, medical supplies, protection against chemical attacks. The deal to get rid of president assads chemicals is going quite well. Hes apparently handed over 90 . Just under 10 supposed to be removed by the end of june. o j thats not bad.
