It is now the third day of the search operation and search for those missing. This is the bow before it went down. The ferry did the journey in the north down to the Holiday Island of jindo twice each week. The ship got into trouble in waters near this national park. One theory is the ship hit a rock. Another is that the vessel made a certain turn. We dont know why. The theory is plausible. A sharp turn would shift the thousands of tons of cargo and 200 vehicles on the various lower decks. That would explain why the ferry started leaning to one side. Quickly, it might have tilted beyond these five degrees. For ship, thats a critical threshold. It wont swing back. Its a point of no return. Within two hours, the ship had capsized and sunk. Experts are amazed at how rapidly this happened. Its obvious it was going down to start with. The first hour and a half they thought its stabilize, going to be a safe refuge. They must have realized water was flooding in high up. Once that starts, theres nothing to stop it. More unanswered questions. Why was the evacuation too slow . Passengers were ordered to stay in place an hour. This was probably to insure the listing diagnose not get worse. The delay made it too long to get people off safe. The ship had 46 lifeboats. Was it because the crew was not sure how serious things were. Without the captain, did the crew not get orders . The captain was the first not the last to leave the ship. A captains duties is to help others and be the last to abandoned. The focus has been the captain in the past several days. It is believed the ship had gone off course striking a rock or turning so abruptly it would cause the cargo to shift and throw the boat off balance. Now the report is out it was a third lieutenant was at the helm when the ship sank. The captain was one of the only people on board that had access to one of the lifeboats and one of the first to be rescued. No matter who was steering the ship at the time, there was negligence committed by the crew. An investigation is underway. The captain at least is so far treated as a suspect. Of course its against the law for a captain to leave his ship. So as the investigation gets underway, more details will emerge about the last minutes of the ship. Lets go to joe that joining us live from the southwest of south korea in jindo. What more is emerging now from the coast guard . Not much good news for families. Today has been a break in the weather. It was rainy and windy yesterday. That broke today. That enabled divers to finally gain some access into this boat. What theyve deserved though has brought no good news for families. Today weve seen more bodies brought to shore to this tiny harbor many the southern tip of this peninsula. The focus for the families remains, nearly 300 teenagers didnt make it off the boat. Until deaths are confirmed theyre going to cling to the hope theres an air pocket in the vessel and some are all are alive or at least their own child. One of the senior officials from the high school was found dead. We have confirmation from local police that the vice principal of the school who was rescued in the operation two days ago has been found hanged a short distance from the gymnasium thats become a focal point for relatives of those missing children and other passengers. It does appear thats a suicide. People are being quoted as saying he has been racked with guilt for surviving when so many of his people did not make it off that boat. Thats another desperately sad addition to todays news. Jo floto, thanks for joining me. Its been described as the deadliest accident in mount nepal. 12 people have been killed a few hundred meters above the base camp. They were all local guys. They climbed to the area nicknamed popcorn field, 6,000 meters above sea level. They were fixing ropes for hundreds of inexperienced climbers. What were they doing . What were the risks . Im formed by joanna. This is the beginning of the snow melt season. What were they doing . They were going ahead of climates that have gathered now hoping to summit everest around mid may when weather is perfect for that to happen. These were going ahead of them fixing ropes. A lot of people tried to climb everest every year. This year, there are 334 registered climbers on the mountain. Many of these will need the assistance of the rope. Everest is the highest but not the most technically difficult mountain to climb. More try to climb it than perhaps are experienced to climb the mountains in the region. Now half way through april it is time for snow melt. Ice becomes not so frozen, always a risk. What are we learning from this about the state of the snow and the ice on the himalayans . Its been discussed in recent years. Theres a lot less ice on the mountain and bodies are frozen for long time. Theyre now coming up. Is it this particular time of year, springtime . Think assume the snow and ice are holding fast. They would. That normally happens this time of year. Its a dangerous mountain to climb. There are many fatalities on it. This is always a risk. They think hit is getting warmer in the region. Popcorn field and these rope, ladders and everything put in, it begins to sound like a climbing mote way. Yes. There are pictures of people queuing up to climb everest on a good day. There are few days you can make the push to the summit. There are reports saying there are too many climbing everest. There are measures in place adding security and insisting every climber has his own guide to make sure its safe on the mountain. People are concerned people are climbing in too short a time. This is a did deadly tragedy for guides working Mount Everest. Thank you very much indeed. Other news this hour.

[ ringing ] sam, those oysters come in . Youre with bbc world news with me, nick gowing. I have the latest headlines for you. Divers have entered the completely submerged wreck of the ferry for the first time and found no survivors. 28 have died, 268 remain missing. Well what is happening at high school nearby . Im joined by a web cam from a local journalist carrying the story. Youve been at the hospital where survivors are being taken. Whats the atmosphere outside the high school . Most the parents are looking at the tv monitor. Theyre looking whats going on there. Some family members and friends of the passengers are looking and searching for their loved ones. Theyre only finding out to reach out and try to contact family members. Its kind of like i like to say like a devastation. Let me ask you what was communicated by facebook, by text, from the ship from their children as the ship was almost about to, not just capsize but sink. What are you learning about the messages . The local police are saying that messages including facebook or south Korea National communication, most of them are saying theyre fake. Theyre still investigating on this. Theyre trying to find out why this kind of message is sent to their family members right now at this moment. Let me ask you about the confirmation that the vice principal of the school appeared to have committed suicide after he was rescued from the ship. Help us understand that sense of honor in the korean culture which might have led to this. I think that is not the reason. The reason the vice principal committed suicide is that the vice principal is responsible taking 355 students taking their journey to the jindo island. He felt like a guilty because this kind of disaster happened. He express sincere apology to the parents and then he go off to the hills in the gymnasium and committed suicide. He was found in about three hours. Freelance journalist there. Thank you very much indeed for joining us from south korea. To ukraine where pro russian activists in the east of the country are showing no sign of ending occupation of government buildings and police stations. This follows the International Deal in geneva endorsed by u. S. Groups must leave. In return there will be am necessa they say theyre going nowhere. These men are pro russian, actually reinforcing their barricades here in donetsk. Theyve got tired and barbed wire. This is meant to prevent a raid from the Ukrainian Government. The the Ukrainian Government has put diplomacy. That agreement reached in geneva said that these people have to give all this up, that everyone here in Eastern Ukraine has to vacate the building that theyve occupied. Lets have a look at the main entrance. It also applies to protestors, pro european protestors in kiev as well. The problem is this, no one is preparing to give up any ground. These men are still guarding the main entrance. People are coming and going. Theyve got stocks food inside. Theyre saying on the loud speaker they dont want to listen to instructions of people of geneva. They say they will only give ground here if people in parliament in kiev actually resign. Have a look at the terrace there. Will through there youll see these people are preparing for a long stay. Whatever is said in geneva has time to filter down to donetsk. No one is prepared to give anything up yet. Lets go to david stern also in donetsk. David, what are you gathering from other scenes like that around Eastern Ukraine . Is anyone giving up ground . Reporter well no, nik. Nobody is giving up ground yet. Weve heard from the pro russian activists down the road as you heard from james. They are holding ground. They say the government in kiev is itself an illegally arm add group that seized power. Until they leave, these people here wont leave. Obviously theres a launch that needs to be done before this agreement is implemented. The question also is is really what is russia prepared to do. Part of this agreement is russia would exert influence on protestors. Russia up until now said they have no influence. Officials and ukraine government say russia is disingenuous. Do you think it are really is just a matter of time and eventually passions might cool and allow this deal to at least be implemented for the time being . Reporter well nik, its difficult to say. But yes its still very early. This deal is less than a day old. This could be political posturing on the part or could be in fact that groups are being a bit stubborn and russia hasnt convinced them. Difficult to say. We have time to go. Weve also heard from the United States from president barack obama and secretary of state john kerry saying if the deal does not go through, theyre prepared to produce more sanctions against russia.

In whatever appearance, its a pretty big deal. We found a super earth, planets much bigger than our planet in a habitable zone. This region around the star where the temperature is right for liquid water. This is the first time weve found a planet so close to earths size. That means a lot. Its thought to be a gold locks planet, just the right size and distance from the star. But before we get started, a word of caution. This orbits a star cooler than the sun. While it may be the similar size and receives the same energy as earth, it orbits a star. Perhaps instead of an earth twin, its an earth cousin. An earth cousin trillions of millimeters away. If its teaming with water and teaming with life, well probably never know. Keplar 186 f. There has to be a better name for that planet.
