:00:00. > :00:08.This is BBC World News Today with me, Philippa Thomas. A state of
:00:09. > :00:11.emergency is declared on Sicily as the region struggles to cope with
:00:12. > :00:14.the arrival of hundreds of migrants. Italian authorities release pictures
:00:15. > :00:18.showing a mother ship carrying the migrants from Africa into the
:00:19. > :00:22.Mediterranean. We'll speak to a special rapporteaur from the UN
:00:23. > :00:26.about the problem. Turmoil on Capitol Hill - with two
:00:27. > :00:37.days to go, will there be a deal to avoid a US debt default and reopen
:00:38. > :00:42.government? Why are they doing this to the American people? Sabotaging a
:00:43. > :00:47.good faith, bipartisan effort coming out of the Senate? Wasting the
:00:48. > :00:52.public's time? In this case, time is money.
:00:53. > :00:55.Iran returns to the negotiating table over in Geneva over its
:00:56. > :00:58.nuclear programme - we'll speak to the EU's spokesman at the talks on
:00:59. > :01:00.how well they're going. Hello and welcome.
:01:01. > :01:04.Also coming up: Six books, six authors but only one winner - the
:01:05. > :01:06.prestigious Man Booker prize will be announced in the coming hours. We'll
:01:07. > :01:19.be live at the award ceremony. A state of emergency has been
:01:20. > :01:24.declared by the government of Sicily due to the large number of migrants
:01:25. > :01:27.arriving in southern Italy by boat. Sicily is, of course, responsible
:01:28. > :01:30.for the island of Lampedusa, which is really struggling to cope with
:01:31. > :01:42.the surge in arrivals from North Africa. Some 400 people have been
:01:43. > :01:46.rescued in the past 24 hours alone. As Italy ramps up its surveillance
:01:47. > :01:51.of the Mediterranean, it has discovered a huge human trafficker
:01:52. > :01:58.mothership. From Lampedusa, the BBC's Kassim Kayira reports.
:01:59. > :02:02.A migrant mothership is spotted by Italian border police alongside a
:02:03. > :02:05.smaller vessel. Italian authorities say the larger ships are used by
:02:06. > :02:10.smugglers to complete most of the journey across the sea, then
:02:11. > :02:14.migrants are put onto overcrowded smaller vessels. Hundreds of
:02:15. > :02:18.migrants, leave to be of Syrian and Egyptian nationalities, were part of
:02:19. > :02:24.the deck of the mothership. The mothership is believed to have left
:02:25. > :02:28.from Egypt. Over the past 24 hours alone, Italian authorities say they
:02:29. > :02:33.have rescued more than 400 people. The journey is hard enough, and once
:02:34. > :02:37.they arrive, the challenge is adapting to the new lives. Rituals
:02:38. > :02:43.and customs keep the communities together. Most of the migrants have
:02:44. > :02:48.been marking the key Festival in their religious calendar, Eid.
:02:49. > :02:54.Migrants at the Lampedusa Ritter -- reception centre tried to look for
:02:55. > :02:59.the... Look their best for the festival. They found their own way
:03:00. > :03:03.to celebrate. TRANSLATION: We prayed but it was a
:03:04. > :03:10.small ceremony, because there was no facilities, so the imam try to make
:03:11. > :03:15.it short. The atmosphere was good, thankfully. Even when the boats
:03:16. > :03:21.managed to dock or pulled to safety, like here on the Italian island of
:03:22. > :03:25.Lampedusa, faith or religion continues to play a key role. Away
:03:26. > :03:30.from home, unsure of their future, the migrant still marked one of the
:03:31. > :03:36.biggest festivals in the Muslim calendars, praying to their faith to
:03:37. > :03:39.keep their identities intact. Francois Crepeau is the United
:03:40. > :03:47.Nations Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of Migrants. He joins
:03:48. > :03:55.me via webcam from Switzerland. Welcome. May I ask you first, what
:03:56. > :03:59.do you make of these motherships? It shows the scale of the industry in
:04:00. > :04:05.transporting illegal migrants, doesn't it? It does, and we should
:04:06. > :04:10.not be surprised about that. It is happening, it is going to happen
:04:11. > :04:15.again and will not stop as long as we keep our current policies. One of
:04:16. > :04:26.the policies you want to see is more legal channels for migrants to come
:04:27. > :04:29.through? One of the reasons there is this migration to Europe is that we
:04:30. > :04:34.have unrecognised labour needs, we have underground labour markets were
:04:35. > :04:38.migrants are employed, often in appalling conditions. As long as
:04:39. > :04:42.there are jobs for them, people will take them. Unless we recognise these
:04:43. > :04:48.markets and make them above ground, regulate them and then give access
:04:49. > :04:52.to people, even migrants, the pull factor will be great and we will
:04:53. > :04:59.continue to see migrants coming in regularly. You are saying there need
:05:00. > :05:04.to be more legal channels for migration of the low skilled into
:05:05. > :05:10.Europe? Yes, these underground labour markets exist in the
:05:11. > :05:13.construction, agricultural, caregiving, hospitality industries
:05:14. > :05:19.and in many others, cockle picking, for example, in the UK. We need
:05:20. > :05:26.migrants in these industries. We don't recognise or acknowledge
:05:27. > :05:29.this. We let employers create appalling underground labour markets
:05:30. > :05:34.where these people will be employed in appalling conditions, with the
:05:35. > :05:38.deaths on a regular basis. As long as we don't recognise this, make a
:05:39. > :05:45.tape of ground, acknowledge we need migrants. -- make it above ground.
:05:46. > :05:51.We need 150 million migrants in Europe by 2050, says one report We
:05:52. > :05:56.don't have any politicians with the courage to say so. You know the
:05:57. > :06:00.difficulty, especially in times of economic recession or austerity for
:06:01. > :06:06.any politician to stand up and say, we need to allow more foreigners to
:06:07. > :06:08.come in to take jobs. You say that you know the demand is there, but
:06:09. > :06:14.how do you persuade political leaders to take the stand with you?
:06:15. > :06:19.It is extremely difficult, because migrants don't vote, so they are
:06:20. > :06:23.invisible politically. They also don't protest or mobilise, because
:06:24. > :06:31.they fear being identified, arrested, detained, deported. They
:06:32. > :06:34.are the object of the discussions, not the subject of them. The only
:06:35. > :06:43.thing that has worked in the past few years was going to court, where
:06:44. > :06:46.court have told - the European Court of Human Rights, the court of
:06:47. > :06:51.justice, the Supreme Court in several countries - the governments
:06:52. > :06:55.of countries that they don't have the right to do this. If you can't
:06:56. > :07:00.do it for citizens, why can you do it for migrants? The courts can tell
:07:01. > :07:05.the government things because they do not have electoral pressure on
:07:06. > :07:09.them. We need to work more with national human rights institutions,
:07:10. > :07:12.courts and tribunal 's, to set the legal principles which should apply
:07:13. > :07:17.in order to protect the rights of these people. They have rights, just
:07:18. > :07:21.like we do, the same fundamental rights that we do except for the
:07:22. > :07:26.right to vote and be elected and the right to stay in the country. I m
:07:27. > :07:29.afraid we have to leave it there, but thank you. A pleasure.
:07:30. > :07:33.As the senior Democrat Nancy Pelosi put it in Washington today, time is
:07:34. > :07:37.money - and the US government is running out of both. America could
:07:38. > :07:41.default on its debts - that is start running out of money to pay its
:07:42. > :07:44.bills - in just two days. The atmosphere on Capitol Hill is
:07:45. > :07:47.frantic. The White House has just said that progress is being made,
:07:48. > :07:50.but negotiations, statements and accusations are still flying. Let's
:07:51. > :07:53.hear more from the two sides - first from Ms Pelosi, the Democrats'
:07:54. > :08:00.leader in the House of Representatives.
:08:01. > :08:04.Why are they doing this to the American people, sabotaging a good
:08:05. > :09:16.faith bipartisan effort coming out of the Senate? Wasting the public
:09:17. > :09:22.This morning when I got up it did look like there was going to be a
:09:23. > :09:27.deal on the Senate side. They were getting close to the deal
:09:28. > :09:32.to re-open the Government by January 15th, increase the debt ceiling and
:09:33. > :09:36.make minor tweaks to the President's signature health and insurance law,
:09:37. > :09:40.but House Republicans didn't like the sound of this deal. When they
:09:41. > :09:43.met this morning, to consider their own proposal that would have done
:09:44. > :09:45.those to consider their own proposal that would have done those two
:09:46. > :09:49.things - re-open the Government and extend the debt creerlings but
:09:50. > :09:53.include a change to the President's healthcare law, which Democrats were
:09:54. > :09:57.never going to like. It seems that when Republicans met, their own
:09:58. > :10:08.proposal didn't have the support of their own caucus full stop the house
:10:09. > :10:13.Democratic leadership is due to meet with the president in an hour.
:10:14. > :10:19.Tomorrow night the US will not be able to borrow any more money and
:10:20. > :10:23.it. To run out of money to pay its huge, gigantic billions of dollars
:10:24. > :10:27.of obligations. To try to find out what is happening, I have been
:10:28. > :10:32.talking to a Democratic congressman from Oregon and I asked whether
:10:33. > :10:36.there would be a deal? I believe we will at this point in time. If you'd
:10:37. > :10:40.asked me to Mac Pro days ago, I would say we would not. But the fact
:10:41. > :10:50.that there is a bipartisan framework coming out, as well as what others
:10:51. > :10:54.have been doing and as well as what the house of Republicans is
:10:55. > :11:00.considering, they are all in the same ballpark. It is about extending
:11:01. > :11:06.the debt ceiling until after the first year and working on the big
:11:07. > :11:09.problem, the budget. The long-term debt and deficit and getting the
:11:10. > :11:15.economic recovery going is the one thing nobody is talking about, but
:11:16. > :11:18.it is the real problem. But House Republicans seem to want major
:11:19. > :11:30.change to the health insurer into law. Will you budge? That will not
:11:31. > :11:35.happen. Then we might not get and agreement? I don't think they are
:11:36. > :11:39.suicidal. I do not believe that in their heart of hearts as legislators
:11:40. > :11:43.they will let the country default. You will have to leave some of the
:11:44. > :11:51.Tea Party radicals and reckless people behind. So all eyes are on
:11:52. > :11:53.House Republicans. Republicans control the House of
:11:54. > :12:01.Representatives. So far they have not come up with their own proposal
:12:02. > :12:04.but they have not commanded... We have a bipartisan deal in the
:12:05. > :12:08.making. The White House used to be able to throw its weight behind it,
:12:09. > :12:14.but it will be down to House Republicans and what they can or
:12:15. > :12:18.can't report. The Dow Jones is down very slightly, meanwhile, investors
:12:19. > :12:23.are concerned that the deal they thought was in the making is
:12:24. > :12:26.apparently slipping away and many Americans have their pension funds
:12:27. > :12:31.invested in the stock market, so as soon as they flip, people start to
:12:32. > :12:36.lose money. If there is a default, the stock market will plunge. Thank
:12:37. > :12:39.you, Laura Trevelyan on Capitol Hill.
:12:40. > :12:41.More than 90 people have died after an earthquake struck the central
:12:42. > :12:44.Philippines, causing widespread destruction. The epicentre of the
:12:45. > :12:52.7.1 magnitude quake was beneath the island of Bohol. Jonathan Head
:12:53. > :12:57.reports. The earthquake brought down
:12:58. > :13:01.buildings in Cebu, more than 60 kilometres away from the percentage,
:13:02. > :13:08.leaving rescue teams with the grim task of lifting slabs of concrete to
:13:09. > :13:13.retrieve bodies. TRANSLATION: The earthquake stopped,
:13:14. > :13:16.but there was another tremor, so we rushed out. One of us try to get
:13:17. > :13:22.away but there was a big chunk of concrete which fell from the upper
:13:23. > :13:25.floors. The tremors caused damage over a wide area, affecting several
:13:26. > :13:29.islands in the central Philippines. Among the casualties were some of
:13:30. > :13:33.its most historic churches. They had stood for hundreds of years, since
:13:34. > :13:38.the beginning of Spanish colonial rule. It will take some time for the
:13:39. > :13:42.authorities to assess the number of casualties will stop they have
:13:43. > :13:47.declared what they call a state of calamity in several areas, allowing
:13:48. > :13:52.the central government to help restore order and basic services.
:13:53. > :13:58.With strong after-shocks still being felt, many buildings remain unsafe.
:13:59. > :14:01.This could have been worse. It was a public holidays of schools and
:14:02. > :14:06.government offices were largely empty, but it was bad enough. - so
:14:07. > :14:09.schools and government offices were largely empty.
:14:10. > :14:12.It's one of the most prestigious awards in literature and this year's
:14:13. > :14:16.Man Booker Prize winner will be revealed in just a few hours. Let's
:14:17. > :14:19.take a look at the short list of contenders. Jim Crace is the
:14:20. > :14:22.favourite to win with what may be his last book, Harvest. New
:14:23. > :14:25.Zealander Eleanor Catton is the youngest of this year's contenders
:14:26. > :14:28.with The Luminaries. Irish author Colm Toibin's The Testament of Mary
:14:29. > :14:32.is the shortest novel at just over 100 pages. Canadian-American writer
:14:33. > :14:36.Ruth Ozeki's A Tale for the Time Being is her fourth book. Pulitzer
:14:37. > :14:40.Prize winner Jhumpa Lahiri's novel is The Lowland. And Zimbabwean
:14:41. > :14:49.author NoViolet Bulawayo's We Need New Names is the only debut novel on
:14:50. > :14:51.the short list. Harvest Ruth Ozeki A Tale for the Time Being Jhumpa

:14:55. > :14:57.correspondent Rebecca Jones is at London's Guildhall, where the winner
:14:58. > :15:03.will be announced soon. Over to you. It will be at this magnificent
:15:04. > :15:08.Guildhall in the City of London The 500 or so guests will be filing in
:15:09. > :15:12.to embark on their lavish three-course dinner. Among the guest
:15:13. > :15:15.as royal visitor this year, Her Royal Highness the Duchess of
:15:16. > :15:19.Cornwall will be here to present the six short-listed authors with
:15:20. > :15:24.specially bound copies of their books. It is a landmark moment for
:15:25. > :15:28.the Man Booker this year, after 45 years the rules are change. From
:15:29. > :15:32.next year anybody writing in English will be eligible to enter. That
:15:33. > :15:38.means the Americans are coming. To share their thoughts and insights
:15:39. > :15:44.I'm delighted to say I'm joined by by one of the world's leading
:15:45. > :15:50.literary agents and by the publishing managing director of
:15:51. > :15:56.Canon gate. You have a Booker in contention? Ruth Ozeki with her
:15:57. > :16:00.wonderful novel A Tale for the Time Being. Are you optimistic? I'm
:16:01. > :16:04.nervous. It's a great short-list this year, so there'll be a number
:16:05. > :16:07.of worthy winners on that list. I wanted to ask you, what is the
:16:08. > :16:13.impact of winning this prize on a writer's career? Well, it depends
:16:14. > :16:20.where the writer is in his or her career. I was the agent for John
:16:21. > :16:23.Banville when he won. It supercharges their career. Suddenly
:16:24. > :16:28.whoosh! All the back list books sell. You go back and you print all
:16:29. > :16:34.the earlier books. And the advances go up and all kind of good things
:16:35. > :16:42.happen. It has a huge impact. What about a writer at the beginning of
:16:43. > :16:47.their career. Career. You had Jan Matel, and this year for NoViolet
:16:48. > :16:53.Bulawayo, it is her first novel Might it distort a writer's career
:16:54. > :16:59.by winning so early? For any writer it has a significant impact on how
:17:00. > :17:03.many more readers will discover the books that they've written. I don't
:17:04. > :17:07.think it is necessarily going to distort what that writer then does
:17:08. > :17:14.in the future, but fame can do all sorts of strange things to anyone.
:17:15. > :17:17.The beerk is re, but fame can do all sorts of strange things to anyone.
:17:18. > :17:20.The beerk is the equivalent -- the Booker is the equivalent of our
:17:21. > :17:24.Oscars, and it thrusts a writer into the limelight in a way that they are
:17:25. > :17:29.not normally in. It has a big impact on any writer. What impact does it
:17:30. > :17:34.have on the publishing industry in general? The whole purpose of the
:17:35. > :17:39.Booker, and I was around when it was conceived, he was thinking and we
:17:40. > :17:48.were all thinking about the French prizes, the Concord, the Mmdici
:17:49. > :17:57.they sell books. They really do sell books. Jan Martell sold millions of
:17:58. > :18:02.copies. Night was meant to sell books, to stimulate reading and the
:18:03. > :18:07.public buying books. A quick word about the Americans entering this
:18:08. > :18:13.year. A good thing or is it going to be a shame? It is a very good thing.
:18:14. > :18:18.It is like having a beauty contest but not admitting redheads. American
:18:19. > :18:23.write in English last time I looked and they should be in this. Thank
:18:24. > :18:28.you both very much indeed. We will be revealing the winner in a couple
:18:29. > :18:32.of hours' time. Remember characters thank you.
:18:33. > :18:34.Cautious TRANSMIT Remember characters thank you.
:18:35. > :18:37.Cautious opt Mitch - that's how some are describing the mood after the
:18:38. > :18:41.first day of talks on Iran's nuclear programme in Geneva. These are the
:18:42. > :18:45.first formal negotiations since Hassan Rouhani became President
:18:46. > :18:49.Tehran has promised new proposals. The US is holding out the prospect
:18:50. > :18:55.that it could lift some of its tough economic sanctions.
:18:56. > :19:04.From a polite distance the chief negotiators said their he believes.
:19:05. > :19:11.Mohammed Zarif and Baroness Katherine Ashton met for two days of
:19:12. > :19:18.talks. Mohammed struggled to get out of his chair. His plaint on Facebook
:19:19. > :19:26.of serious back pain. Note the black laptop. He used it to give an
:19:27. > :19:29.hour-long PowerPoint presentation outlining Iran's ideas. The world
:19:30. > :19:33.powers say they are ready to listen. We've come here with a sense of
:19:34. > :19:37.cautious optimism and a great sense of determination, because we believe
:19:38. > :19:46.it is really time now for tangible results. We are very serious. We are
:19:47. > :19:49.not here to waste our time. We are serious for a real target-oriented
:19:50. > :19:55.negotiations between Iran and others. These talks follow last
:19:56. > :20:00.month's phone call between President Obama and Iran es new President
:20:01. > :20:04.Hassan Rouhani. Are it was the most important conversation between the
:20:05. > :20:09.US and Iran in three decades. But don't get carried away, warn those
:20:10. > :20:14.who've tried it before. It is right that we go into this with our eyes
:20:15. > :20:18.open, mindful of the history of it. In a situation where the Iranians
:20:19. > :20:23.are under no doubt that the sanctions and the threat remain on
:20:24. > :20:28.the table. Iran's promise of a new start with the West is now being
:20:29. > :20:32.tested the right here. But it will take more than two days of talks to
:20:33. > :20:37.sort out all their disagreement One official here has delivered a punchy
:20:38. > :20:47.warning. Don't expect any overnight breakthroughs.
:20:48. > :20:50.Michael Mann is spokesman for Katherine Ashton, the EU foreign
:20:51. > :20:57.policy representative. Thank you for being with us on World News Tonight.
:20:58. > :21:04.I want to ask, why are you feeling positive tonight? You talked about
:21:05. > :21:07.optimism. Well, we've been hearing lots of very positive noises coming
:21:08. > :21:11.from the new President in Iran, and from the new Foreign Minister. We
:21:12. > :21:15.really came to this meeting hope that they would follow through on
:21:16. > :21:19.those positive remarks with concrete and constructive proposals. We had a
:21:20. > :21:24.set of proposals on the table for a long time which they haven't yet
:21:25. > :21:29.responded to, the Iranians. We hoped that the new regime would be able to
:21:30. > :21:33.respond positively. We said at this morning's session that the proposals
:21:34. > :21:38.were useful. This afternoon our experts sat down with the Iranians
:21:39. > :21:41.and went for the first time in a detailed way through all the
:21:42. > :21:45.technicalities of this. There are positive signs, but as James said in
:21:46. > :21:50.his report, this is a long process and there is a long way to go. What
:21:51. > :21:55.we were aiming for at the end of the day is that the Iranians can prove
:21:56. > :21:57.unequivocally and verifiably to the international community that they
:21:58. > :22:00.are not building a military nuclear programme and that it is a peaceful
:22:01. > :22:05.programme. There's a lot of work still to do. Talks will continue
:22:06. > :22:09.hear, hear tomorrow and there'll be other rounds of talks as well. What
:22:10. > :22:14.practical moves could Iran make that would give you confidence? For
:22:15. > :22:20.example, they could pull back on enriching uranium to 20%. Is that
:22:21. > :22:24.the kind of shift you are looking for? We don't go into too much
:22:25. > :22:30.detail about our proposals publicly but everybody knows that the core
:22:31. > :22:34.issue here is that Iran is enriching uranium according to the
:22:35. > :22:40.International Atomic Energy Agency to levels that are not required for
:22:41. > :22:44.a peaceful programme. We talk about this 20% enrichment issue. The ball
:22:45. > :22:48.is in their court to take a confidence-building measure that can
:22:49. > :22:52.kick off a process of negotiations. We are willing to play our role
:22:53. > :22:56.because it takes two sides to negotiate, but the ball is in their
:22:57. > :23:01.court to make the first move, as Iran is in breach of its
:23:02. > :23:05.international obligations. We had so many positive signals from Mr Hassan
:23:06. > :23:10.Rouhani, are you confident that the regime is fully engaged behind him?
:23:11. > :23:16.Well, the Foreign Minister is very much behind this. He is the chief
:23:17. > :23:21.negotiator now. We've noticed a different tone in negotiations since
:23:22. > :23:25.Mr Zarif took over. There is a lot of work still to be done. Done. We
:23:26. > :23:29.hope they can follow through the positive noises from Iran with
:23:30. > :23:34.concrete negotiations. There has been a start today but we are going
:23:35. > :23:39.to continue to work hard. My boss Katherine Ashton has met with the
:23:40. > :23:43.Minister this evening. There'll be further meetings tomorrow and I
:23:44. > :23:45.imagine another set of talks before much longer. We'll keep watching.
:23:46. > :23:49.Thank you. Thank you.
:23:50. > :23:53.Another member of Greenpeace arrested in Russia for staging a
:23:54. > :23:59.protest against Arctic oil drilling has had his bail application
:24:00. > :24:03.rejected. Briton Frank Hewetson was the logistics co-ordinator on the
:24:04. > :24:08.Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise. Crew of 30 face piracy charge as. They
:24:09. > :24:15.carry a maximum prison sentence of 15 years.
:24:16. > :24:19.Dawn outside a jail in Murmansk Russia's biggest Arctic port. A
:24:20. > :24:24.Greenpeace volunteer is carrying in huge bags of supplies for the 3
:24:25. > :24:30.activists who are held here, six of them are British. This morning
:24:31. > :24:38.lifelong campaigner Frank Hewetson from London was in court asking to
:24:39. > :24:43.be bailed from the prison. Is it warm enough? With the extra two
:24:44. > :24:48.blankets I requested it is quite warm, otherwise it is very cold
:24:49. > :24:51.Frank Hewetson's lawyer argued that his detention in international
:24:52. > :24:57.waters was illegal and the charge of piracy was absurd. But the judge
:24:58. > :25:01.dismissed it all. One by one the activists have been brought to court
:25:02. > :25:06.to sit in knees cages while their lawyers ask for bail and they've
:25:07. > :25:11.been denied and sent back to prison, where they've already spent three
:25:12. > :25:15.weeks. She thin. We showed our pictures to he partner in London and
:25:16. > :25:19.asked what she thought of his Russian jail time. Not an
:25:20. > :25:24.occupational hazard but I think that this charge of piracy with a 15 year
:25:25. > :25:30.sentence is completely unprecedented. It seems a massive
:25:31. > :25:35.overreaction to peaceful protest and nobody could have anticipated that.
:25:36. > :25:41.The activists were all detained last month by armed officers when they
:25:42. > :25:45.tried to tie themselves on to a Russian Arctic oil rig 40 miles
:25:46. > :25:48.offshore. We are the only non-Russian TV news team to have
:25:49. > :25:51.been out to the rig, which is expected to start pumping oil later
:25:52. > :25:56.this year. Just down here is the spot where two of the Greenpeace
:25:57. > :26:00.activists tried to climb on to the platform before they were hosed
:26:01. > :26:06.down, pulled off and taken away by armed men in balaclavas. The
:26:07. > :26:11.Greenpeace ship has been toed to Murmansk and impound. Russia's
:26:12. > :26:16.strong action shows how important the massive reserve of Arctic
:26:17. > :26:22.offshore oil are to the country s future and how little tolerance
:26:23. > :26:27.Vladimir Putin has for protest. Just time to remind you of our main
:26:28. > :26:31.news. Italian authorities have released video showing a "mother
:26:32. > :26:35.ship" carrying migrants from Africa transferring passengers to a smaller
:26:36. > :26:39.boat. This comes as the region of Sicily their as state of emergency
:26:40. > :26:43.because of the large numbers of migrants being rescued. Next it is
:26:44. > :26:45.the weather but for now, from me Philippa Thomas and the rest of the
:26:46. > :26:57.team, goodbye. Good evening to you. I'm showing you
:26:58. > :27:01.a foggy sphere for the overnight period. With good reason. The
:27:02. > :27:06.eastern parts, particularly of England, could see extensive and
:27:07. > :27:10.dense fog for a time during the new day's morning. Towards the west a
:27:11. > :27:13.different story. Eventually the cloud will thicken and this area of
:27:14. > :27:14.cloud and rain associated with weather fronts in the Atlantic will
