Thousands are still in the dark and sported to day most tennis fans, which would never come 20 time, grand slam champion Roger Phaedra is preparing to play his last competitive match before he the time. Ah, so we start this news hour with one of the deadliest migrant oats in kings in the eastern mediterranean, at least 60 migrants are now known to have died. When their vessel capsized off the coast of syria and syrian Authorities Say that 20 people have been rescued, but many more remain missing it. Lets bring in zayna hodder, who joins us live from aucker on the lebanese syria border. Zayna tell us where you are and whats happening around you. What were at a home of a family whose relatives were on that ill fated vessel this morning . They buried 2 young girls, 9 and 6 year old maya, and may, they still do not know the fate of 2 young boys and their mother. Their father is now in hospital in the syrian city of tattoos. Theres a lot of grief here. People are in shock, they dont understand why they dont have much more information. In fact, it was last night. Some members of the family crossed the border, went to the hospital and identified the 2 young girls. But since then, they havent heard any information about the 2 young boys, as well as, as their mother, their calling on the lebanese authorities to give them some information, or at least tell them when the bodies of the bodies will be brought back to lebanon. As we understand more than 60 bodies have been found so far, Search Operations began last night. They continued this morning. This was a small and over packed a boat. B so far, 19 people have been rescued. Its very difficult to say how many more are missing because you dont get official numbers on the passengers on these migrant boats. On this particular boat, there were syrian Palestinian Refugees as well as lebanese. In fact, the, as of late a growing number of lebanese have been making this dangerous journey try to you to, to reach europe because of the worsening Economic Conditions in this country. So a lot of desperation, weve been talking to their family members and, and they tell us that were see him, the, the father, he decided it wasnt an easy decision for him to put his family on that boat for Young Children and his wife. But he had no other choice, his salary was worthless because of the currency collapse. He sold whatever he had to be able to pay that smuggler to get on that boat. And they keep telling this, it wasnt an easy decision, and they, theyre, they were aware of the fact that migrant boats in the past half capsized have some people have died, died at sea, but theres just no other choice because, and they blame, they blame the lebanese authorities for not doing anything to improve the Economic Situation in this country. Zayna, do the people around you have hope that theres still any chance we can find survivors at this stage . No, i think that theyre resigned to the fact that the 2 young boys and the mother are dead. But what theyre asking for is their bodies. They want to know if their bodies have been found and this was the question they were asking us. They were asking us, did you talk to any lebanese official who, who is going to be responsible for bringing the bodies across the border worse, the lebanese red cross, the lebanese authorities for decades have neglected us. Have, you know, successive governments have really neglected the region. I have to point out that most of the migrants who are making this dangerous journey to europe come from the north of the country. The most impoverished part of this country, which has for years really been neglected by successive by successive governments. And as of late, there has been really an uptick in the, in the number of people making this the journey. And, you know, weve even spoken to people who survived being and a both as capsized in the past. And what they tell us is were going to keep doing it again and again, because there are no jobs, and really the economy start to began to collapse in late 2019, and politicians instead of enacting reforms and laws needed to be able to be eligible for International Financial assistance, theyve been doing nothing. So a lot of anger, a lot of desperation, and a lot of grief, as in a hotel reporting live from near the lebanon syria border. Thank you very much. Look, well keep, well keep checking in with you for updates. Thank you. The moscow controlled regions in eastern and southern ukraine are voting on whether to become part of russia, referendums, or taking place in the hands than yes, that parisha. And for son, thats about 15 percent of ukraines territory old told hundreds of thousands of people have until tuesday to cast their votes. Keep in its western allies, however, say that the votes sham and its an unlawful land grab it, comes as Ukrainian Forces continue to recapture waves of territory in a major counter offensive. Lets explore the reaction to these referendums, Gabriel Elizondo and ukraines capital key. But 1st, lets go, lets get the latest from bill hamid. Shes tracking developments in a crock in the dont yet region. What have you been able to find out about how this boat is actually unfolding . Well, its very difficult for us to figure out how is unfolding and how many people are there simply because we are not allowed in these areas that are under control of the pro russian at separatists. Now as we understand is vote is going to last for 4 days. You have, as you mentioned, this is happening in the context of a war. And so its, and it was hastily announced and hastily organized. So its happening in different ways depending under region where we are, where in fact, for example, in hudson, we heard from russian and media that actually people are going to go round the houses with the ballad boxes. So, and everyone can stay indoors because of the insecurity in that area is another counter offensive on going there in the south of the country in separate area. Were not do. We dont have many, many details, but the russians do not hold the capitol of that region. So also that puts in question, whats the point of a referendum at that moment theres is they dont have that region completely. Im standing in den. Yes, 60 percent of denise is more or less under the hand and the hands of the a separate is but its so a lot of it is also a lot of them. A frontline village is, is not clear how to people, there will be voting if they will be able to go to any polling stations. We know that into done yet. As city the capital of the region, they are putting stations at open up this morning. The same in lugens, those are areas that had been under the separators control for over 8 years now. So things are easier there, but this is, you have to look at this of a friend them in context of the, as i said, of this war could be the fact that its part of russias response because to the ukrainian counter offensive, russia lost a lot of territory in the north is of the country and also last left behind a lot of equipment. Basically, by having this referendum it pushes its borders and puts the ukrainian owners both and their western allies. Because in russias point of view, any counter offensive that continues could be, could be seen or could be declared by russia as an attack on their land. Now we spoke to a lot of people yesterday who were coming down from those regions ahead of the referendum, not wanting to take part in this referendum. They did tell us that russia does have some support in those areas for the but the, by a large the population had already left. The original residents of those for region had already gone. Even though they said the people who left there told us that they believed that this was a sham referendum because they hadnt heard about it just days before this. This is our report. Escaping rushing occupation leave would becomes nearly impossible. The atlanta and her daughter carina. Just arrived from the concern region of ours before a referendum, organized by russia is due, should take place. All of it in it was in for st. Youve seen this is about 70 percent of people are jobless. We were 5 months without any mobile connection. The feed is coming from crimea and we have to pan roubles. They have been telling us that our hometown is positive, russia and it was liberated from ukraine carrying this has been had to stay behind because men of fighting age arent allowed to leave. Thats why it took only see and his family 4 days to travel from lou hands to the ukrainian control part of the procedure. Despite the permit issued by the separatists, his wife gulard tells me she was worried. He would be mobilized. Making woods for a short. Alexey says rushes referendum is a sham, and now is the time to choose sides. As soon as you go through bloom, there are people who are going to vote. There are people who really believe a flu, hence, joins russia. Life will become better and they will be happier. Im surprised because most of them work for Ukrainian Companies and they owned a good living. Now they have nothing but the supporting russia. People still living in jeopardy jack had a son and a dumbass will be asked if they want to join russia. Russia doesnt fully control any of the 4 regions with this. So called referendum is taking place in the areas under ukrainian control. Come on the regular attack, day and night. This is the latest one in the heart of the city. One of the several that rocked the procedure early morning. The target was a hotel, said to host this place people on their way further west people like tanya and julia who made their journey together for milly toppled. Its painful. Her parents stayed back home. Part of an older generation nostalgic about the soviet union. Eula shows as a video where she was taunted by collaborators and russian soldiers forced to praise the russian motherland and sing the national anthem, who would give, give me looking at her. I kept my children at home at school, there was too much pressure on them. They would get punished if they spoke ukrainian. Im afraid i wont be able to return home after the referendum. There will be special permits for people to get in and out of there. No one here doubts the outcome of the referendum. Devote has already been discarded by ukraine and its allies, that russia will use it to stretch its borders closer to western ukraine. Went up the honey algebra zepplin jack. Lets go to gabriel and keep. Now, gabriel. Is there any doubt at this stage as to the outcome of this referendum . Well, for your cranium officials, there is no doubt about what the result will be. Ukrainian officials will tell you that russia already has the results and its just, this is just all in their words. One big show, you know, the russians call this referendum, but you ask the ukrainians, and theyll tell you, we have another word for it. We call it a joke. This is not legal by ukrainian law, by constitutional law. Ukraine. A referendum can only happen when its approved for the ukrainian parliament, which of course, this is not been and by International Law standards as well. Ukrainian say point to the fact that its illegal by International Law standards as well because its being held this referendum in an active wars zone which runs contour to act International Law. Not only that, but there are no independent international monitors, as well as theres not a free media there as well over seeing and monitoring this, unable to document this vote very much on the ground. Its being very much controlled by the kremlin at all that up. And ukrainian officials say, not only are we not going to recognize this referendum, theyre pretty much not even acknowledging that its even happening. With that said, though, theyve gone through this before 2014, when russia annexed the ukrainian peninsula of crimea. That referendum in 2014 happened on one day, 5 days later, after russia claimed that 96 percent of the people in crimea. Busy voted to join russia only 5 days later, it was formalized by the Russian Parliament into russian law seizing crimea. So the process, if we use 2014, could move very fast in this referendum. The difference here being is the amount of land that russia is trying to take is much larger. And given the fact its in an active ca, combat area zone, if you will. But the country in, when a war, both russia and ukraine, of course, the ramifications for both country countries could be much higher. Absolutely. Gabriel is under reporting from keith. Thank you very much and will be watching that the referendum taking place over 4 days. Thanks. Iran army is warning that it will confront what it calls enemies as protests continue against the death of a 22 year old woman in police custody.

President s are just one of the main concerns or issues with regards to run country and that is the nation wide protests that have been spreading across the country over the past couple of days following the killing or the death of that young running girl. Or naturally, at the hands of the Morality Police there, as the president says, he said that it was still not clear as far as the investigations was going on, whether she did die at the hands of both morality did however say that he contacted her family. He said that there was a right for iranians to protest. Differentiates between what he described as peaceful protest vandalism. However, he fell short, well talk about what type of accountability would happen. He said that there was a need for the traditional process to take it. You course before anything could happen that aside, the other main issue of discussion or address by the reading president as well as the nuclear deal, the j. C. P. O, and any hope that it could be revived. The firm on that runs thumbs with regard to guarantees needed from any new deal that the United States would not renee on its commitments, as he says its had done in the previous deal.
