News. Thank you very much you listening to the newsroom from the b.b.c. World Service with all of the Conway for the past 3 months a renegade general highly for have to has been trying to seize the Libyan capital Tripoli from the internationally recognized unity government on Monday his forces said they would step up their aerial bombardments after losing a key town to government forces last night a suspected asteroid on a micro detention center that's more than 40 people died near the capital the unity government blamed general have task forces for a premeditated and precise attack but a heart he'd been here from the Libyan health ministry was at the scene shortly after one of the people securing these people who are still wounded that had another. Which was horrible. The hospital about 36 cases Africa from Algeria from Bangladesh for 2 of the very really destructive. People they don't have related to the war they're just taking away from hunger. Going to be a spokesman for general have taught tonight hitting the migrant Center saying they had carried out a precision air strike on a military campaign that forces allied to the government had shelled the center in response the UN's International going to Organization for Migration says that the high in the suburb of to Jura is next to a militia camp and as many as 600 migrants have been held there but emergency services say the figure is much lower 120 than a Doyle from the International Organization for Migration says no one should be held that these are only trying to sleep violence are trying to improve their lives and they have been. Coming through but the fact of the people of any crime and the notion that people are dying in this way whether it's thing exploited by the militias that are being sold to slavery has happened I think sex. Exploited and then are being formed friendships elaborately or even anyone accidently I think there is a massive responsibility a part of the instructions. To cause a great danger. As a Sebastian ash is monitoring developments for us what's known about the facility and the attack well as you're hearing it I've just been listening to an interview with the Meritage or actually says $612.00 migrants were being held there they were waiting to be moved on there among thousands you know there's at least 6000 migrants who are being held in different camps who've been returned by e.u. Ships were made trying to get across to Italy has been a major move to do and again as you heard the u.n. Is saying that what's happened today which to them is a tragedy it was you know was waiting to happen that juror had almost been hit just a few weeks ago and they warned about it than should be assigned to the e.u. That you can't return migrants to a country that is as dangerous as Libya and the attack itself we know who actually carried out both sides blaming the other there's never Fishel confirmation of this and perhaps there won't be but I mean the signs do point to General have to he announced his forces announce a couple of days ago but they were going to launch an air campaign on Tripoli now they have as you were saying in introduction they mounted an offensive 3 months ago the 1st weeks of they made good progress but since then they've got bogged down and just last week they lost a key strategic town outside Tripoli which was their food post for supplies Turkey has intervened increasing on the side of interest to recognize government supplying weapons and that has essentially helped them to fight back so he is actually on the back foot at the moment so having said that they're going to carry out these airstrikes you know it does seem a likeliest possibility that his air force such as it is and it's not much of one. I've been responsible and you mentioned the migrants I mean are they still heading to Tripoli and those are returned by the e.u. But are other migrants still heading to Tripoli as a way of trying to get across to Europe despite this fighting Well it's very complicated situation because I mean you know it's partly that that has definitely lessened they were going to Tripoli to leave special mean you know all along the coast and they were brought there but remember this is a kind of. Criminal enterprise almost the these migrants are being held in these appalling inhumane conditions but they're also being used by people trafficked baby used by criminal gangs by militias in Libya as essentially slaves you know. A great deal of the time so you know that their role their status is not that that clear cut when we talk about migrants a lot of these people are people who may never even be to be wanted to get across but they've been brought there and now the mercy of these militias so vast you know how to thank you. Only 800000 people across 3 southern Japanese cities have been ordered to evacuate amid warnings of landslides and floods brought by heavy rains by Mr Shinzo has told residents of the area to take steps to protect their lives are part of on a downward joins us now what do we know about this evacuation Well we know that this area that around a 1000000 people in fact Ali Oliver have in fact been evacuated this area it's the largest southern island key issue and the 3 areas 3 cities have been evacuated cargo Shima Christian an era and is actually a large port city and altogether almost all the people in those 3 cities have been evacuated we know that one woman has already died there are pictures being posted on Twitter people are showing pictures of streets turning into rivers the cars sunk There's one video of a woman who is carrying a small child looks like a baby and she's walking along a ledge trying to evacuate a building which has basically been turned into an island and we know that Japan and this area in fact is very well organized and they used to scale evacuations there are regular drills for earthquakes so it's you know at the moment we can be grateful that just one person has died no large scale evacuations but a 1000000 people is a huge number to move where they were going. Away from the area of the most rain and the area that has been evacuated the other problem with the area there is that is very loose soil there's a new black nearby volcano that is regularly spewing loose soil and so there's a real feel that that area where they evacuated all the people with mudslides could occur and this rain is expected to continue until late morning on Thursday according to mythological agency so you know we could in fact expect more evacuations for our thank you. As president of 1st Ford and then Chrysler he helped shape the modern motor industry and he Iacocca who has died at the age of 94 is credited with being the father of some of the world's most iconic vehicles and also be remembered for his advocates no cars are perfect but these come pretty close rivals see for yourself how clients know they are if you don't agree that the best writers ever made the very best America has to offer at a sensible price that I'm in the wrong business a one more thing if you can find a better car buy it well Detroit's in the u.s. State of Michigan got its name the Motor City thanks partly to ne iconic and the brand he built that pool Eisenstein from the Detroit Bureau dot com reflects now on his influence in many ways Iacocca was perhaps the most important single executive the face of the industry to millions of Americans in the postwar period he really gave it an identity that that it is lost in recent years because you know most of the executives these days are fairly faceless he really don't have them out front and certainly not being able to speak with the bluntness and the peculiar common man charm that Iacocca had Here's a guy who was the son of Italian immigrants in contrast to what we seem to have the United States these days where the idea of immigration has been tarnished a bit even by those who have families who came over a relatively recent period I a coke a war being the son of immigrants proudly in fact in his later life he said that some of the things he was most proud about were not the works that he did it forward or Chrysler but the steps he took to help restore the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island Ellis was the immigration center for the early years of the 20 s. . Entry when tens of millions of immigrants arrived in the United States and checked in there and that included Iacocca's own parents Paul Eisenstein only Iacocca who's died at the age of $94.00 this is the news room from the b.b.c. World Service Still to come why being overweight could be more dangerous than smoking extra body fat doesn't just sit in the body it's actually active and it can see now lots of signals around the body which can damage our cells and increase the chance of cancers and the details in a little while 1st of headlines from sick an air attack on a migrant detention center near the Libyan capital Tripoli has left at least 40 people dead and almost 800000 people are being evacuated from cities in the Japanese island of Q Shu because of Tarantula rain and one of the most powerful American auto industry executives Lee Iacocca has died after 3 days of difficult negotiations in Brussels European leaders finally agreed who they want to get the top jobs in the e.u.

These are electing a new president of the European Parliament for 2 and a half years they're called a president they're more like a chairperson or a speaker they've had the 1st round of voting has just finished and there could be up to 3 more rounds today but we should get a name by the end of today then at lunchtime we're expecting a visit from us a love for the law and the German defense minister who's been nominated to take over from John cauldron care as the. President of the European Commission the reason she's coming here to Strasburg to the European Parliament is she can only take up that job if a majority of any p.s. Support her in a vote in 2 weeks' time and quite a lot of senior army piece are quite critical either of her or of the way she was selected in a backroom deal at the last minute the European Parliament would much prefer if the job had gone to somebody who had put themselves forward explicitly for the role perhaps during the European Parliament election campaign in April May time Fleming in Strasbourg. Details of a fire which killed 14 members of a crew of a Russian submersible will not be made public a crime and spokesman said the information quote belongs to the category of state secrets a man died in the Barents Sea off Russia's north coast local media have reported that the vessel was a secret nuclear powered mini submarine but what the national papers say our Moscow correspondent Steve Rosenberg has been taking a look one story dominates today's Russian papers that's the fire in a Russian military submersible the headline in Vienna Mysti sailors dead in fire the worst incident on a Russian submarine since 2008 comes to Moscow privatise front page 14 Sub-Mariner sacrificed themselves to save the sub The paper quotes experts are saying they believe the crew sealed off the part of the deep water submersible where the fire had broken out so that flames and carbon monoxide fumes wouldn't spread but what specific type of vessel was it there's been no official confirmation of that but several Russian papers this morning identified as the a s 12 deep water nuclear station basically a mini sub designed to be carried under the belly of a bigger submarine nor Vegas' yet a says that several years ago the Pentagon stated that the air's 12 was designed for sabotage and could be used to destroy underwater infrastructure the vessel is operated by the Russian military is main Directorate for deep water research or the g Yu-G.I.

The favorites to win the women's World Cup in the USA are through to the final after beating England last night the defeated English players are pictured on the front of the morning papers here a reflection of how the tournament has captured the imagination of the public but although women's football is now more popular than ever around the world in terms of money they are still far behind the men as Alice Porter reports while this year's winners in France will receive $4000000.00 for last year's men's World Cup The winning team netted 38000000 dollars last month the Norwegian footballer at the head felt so strongly that her country's female team were not being treated equally that she quit her national side in the end it's not about money either so but it's sure the respect for other sports women being treated equally as men and it's a funny part because obviously I never been thinking about money or someone whom is football or soccer or in dream of our 1st well I think it's very important up. You know we are grateful for the changes that are coming you still need to have that critical eye of is that action coming as well as the TOCs no way has subsequently signed a historic equal pay agreement but it came too late for this tournament even in the u.s. Where the women's game is massive the women's team complained of discrimination they filed a lawsuit against their own governing body complaining that they earn less than their male counterparts when they make more money one of the key requirements for a level playing field is commercial backing and in recent months the deals have been pouring in Wells international Helen Ward spoke to me in between her training are I don't for one minute think that female footballers should earn the same as their male counterparts purely because at this point in time there's not enough generated financially by women's teams at this point I think if that is to change if big sponsors come in and sponsor just women sides or just women's competitions and that money is being brought in then yes the salary should reflect that and I think what we need to have is not just this every 2 or 4 years of major competitions this surge in people's interest what needs to happen now is that the message again gets supported better and every weekend have people flooding through the gates Wales football Helen more than any met report by this reporter and in the 2nd the semifinal of the words woke up tonight the Netherlands take on Sweden and now with a look at what else has been happening in the world today who sued a study by the British based firm various maple crafters found that more than 2000000000 tons of municipal solid waste is produced every year enough to fill over 800000 lympics sized swimming pools for head of population the worst offenders are the us as Americans produce 3 times the global average of waste Germany is the most efficient country recycling just over 2 thirds of material.
