unfilled. go ahead, welcome to the program. i may just search and rescue operations underway in the united states after our call go. ship crashed into a bridge in baltimore, maryland, causing it to collapse. several vehicles were on the bridge out the the limits, traffic across the bridge. you added that. i put them in their investigation suggested the crash was an accident, and there was no credible evidence of a terrorist attack. just to give you a sense of scale, the francis scott key bridge was 12.6 columbus as long with 4 legs, on average, on the 31000 vehicles crossing every day. and it's a major part of the road network on the us east coast, commenting on the incident present by it and said that he would get that as soon as possible. and you promised help were gonna send all the federal resources they need is we respond to this mercy. i mean, all the federal resources and we're going to rebuild that port together. everything

so far indicates that this was a terrible action. at this time we have no other indication. no other reason to believe is an intentional act. so clearly i still a lot of questions that to be onset. we'll take a look now at how today's events unfolded. the francis scott key bridge after the single 4 flag container ship smashed into one of its pillars. the collapse of the bridge was caught lives by web broadcast. the ship struck at 1 30 am. with a in minutes, a major search and rescue operation was underway. the postcards, primary mission right now is search and rescue looking for any survivors in the water were basically searching for, for everyone that was potentially on the bridge. as you can imagine, to build the night, you know, you know, what type of traffic was there of how many workers were there. this video uploaded

by a ship, the tracking service shows the vessels path as it went off course. and then to the bridge, it issued a distress called minutes before the collision authority said workers then stopped the cars from crossing the bridge afterwards, saving lives. experts save the size of the ship, simply overwhelmed the support structure. a heavy ship i that put in possibly a large load of many thousands of times when it hit something solid. i'm a ship is obviously struck the support of the bridge. not surprisingly, the bridge collapses because the support has a very rapidly flimsy structure. meanwhile, people in the region are bracing for the aftermath. the board of baltimore is key to shipping on the us east coast. and the collapse bridge will likely create traffic jams for months or even years to come. professor helen samson, for them called if you any of us, they have started the shipping industry since 1999. welcome to the w. a professor.

i'm to try so as experiments we have like you to, to help us understand what's, what probably happened on the bridge. a colleague. so we have a condo ship like the dive, it's nights. everything appears to be fine. ha, the pilots have joined the captain on board to guide this massive vessel out of port. and then power appears to go out and you seem to be heading for a bridge support. so what happens next the, the bridge team would have worked very hard to very quickly try to assess the situation and try to obviously prevent the collision with the ship. the adrenalin levels would have been running very high and the pilot, the captain on the bridge team would have, will acted together to try to follow the festivals. try to understand the situation and then try to followed all the emergency procedures to, to,

to avoid the collision. which them, unfortunately appears to have been unsuccessful. it looks as if those very little time between when they they have looks propulsion and when they collided with a for instruction, i don't wanna say that about that loss of power or loss of propulsion is a, is a key thing. how do what, how do you trying of a collision when you have no power? this is obviously a absolutely critical situation is very, very dangerous. the current, some winds forces that moves the vessel when you don't have any control over it yourself. and the vessel i believe from things i've read, i believe it was going, it's about 8 notes. and which is going to slow as in the num, the full speed of the vessel. but it's still in a, provides the best. so with a fair amount of inertia, makes it very slow to, to, to, to stop or change direction even bringing up some control. so you're in,

so emergency procedures such as dropping on cuz i believe the vessel, my time to drop and 2 on cars from which i've read. but unfortunately it, it was too late to stop it from actually going into the, the bridge itself. um, so this the 1st then would have been into a situation whether major mediately, oversee very conscious of that catastrophic damage has been done. they would be wanting to assess the integrity of the how to check who on board was safe. check that one on board was safe. i believe that was the case and on this occasion and switch it to think about the vessel stability of the congo stability and, and you know, to touch it to start to be concerned about issues around pollution control. and so the kinds of some short term issues that require very immediate attention and action would have, would have been taking place. all right, thank you so much for that, professor professor,

i haven't. samsung from college university will take a look at the most doors making news around the world that supposes of the light to come to intrinsic, collect seem to found. they have competencies graveside to mock up 40 days since the staff hundreds joins that. his parents to life allows and pay their respects that it's important in orthodox christian institution is believed to be the day that the so the pots, the us a bunch of times it's approved plans to sell next generation find suggests to other countries. yeah. craft is being developed alongside the britain and it's advances and is expected to be ready by 2035. the decision to allow expos, he's tokyo's late to step away from his positive is principles adopted at the end of the 2nd world war u. s. federal agents of rated homes in los angeles belong to the rafa, showing the data to the operations part of a sex trafficking investigation by authorities in use. your ability to hit pump

them. no, well is also facing several low suits of legs. sexual abuse, according brittany says we can be found to julian assange cannot be immediate and it cannot immediately be extradited to the united states high court judges if they want to further assurances about what will happen to him if he us files to provide those assurances over the next 3 weeks, the court will give mister a silence permission to appeal his extradition on grounds, including a breach of freedom of expression, and because he might receive the death penalty of correspondence. charlotte tells him, phil has been following the high court's decision in london. i was put today's decision into a little bit of context had says the rights to an appeal, a final appeal would you need as long as been rejected today? that would have been the end of the legal road here for him in the u. k. and would have paid the way for his expedition to the us for his support to say he faces

a 175 years in prison. something that his wife says would have been tantamount to a death sentence. now instead today what we've had is something of a delay on that decision, as you said, that the judges and said that they all taking assurance is on several points from the us, including on free speech protections. and that julian is always wanting to face the death penalty if extra jointed convicted to the us as 3 weeks to my there is insurance isn't if it fails to do so, then i will appeal can indeed go ahead. now this is something of a partial victory for julian assault is clearly his supporters would have liked to have seen that full appeal of granted today. but what the judges did say was that he has a legitimate prospects with success on 3 of the 9 grounds for appeal. so while it's more of a wait, there is

a still clearly some ways to go in this legal bathroom. and so it jumped some hill in london. so israel's defense minister is in washington for a 2nd day and meetings with top us officials and made increasing tensions of other countries comes out of it's for goes to thomas in gaza. us defense secretary lloyd austin, told you of glance about the us is concerned about the high number of civilian casualties, like a few monetary and a reaching the people of gaza. as companies come after the us decline to block, i un resolution demanding an immediate cease fire and gaza fueled intentions with his regular prime minister. benjamin netanyahu is more from the us defense secretary and god. and you know, i just rates will not rest until all the hostages. our goal is to make israel and the regions safer and more secure. as i have consistently said, protecting palestinian civilians from harm is baltimore on the subsidy. and the

strategic imperative and gods are today, the number of civilian casualties is far too high. and the amount of humanitarian age is far too low. near to pull it from the german power to the welfare of association is found in the alarm about the higher rates of poverty in the country . within 14000000 people are living below the poverty line, including a record number of children. the w visited a food bank here in belin to meet people who are struggling to get by people lined up here for fruit, which to bolts and other groceries every monday. the food is the neighborhood and the stuff, mainly volunteers. as i said to myself, imagine to me and stake. that's not normally here. let me skip this, but if it is, i'll take it. i'll go from there. yeah. right now has to make due on the monthly

pens and of 400 euros without the support of the food think he couldn't make ends meet. it's also the same for an increasing number of families. more than one and 5 children in germany is affected by poverty. it helps us financially to get our food here. everything is getting more expensive and we can afford less. that's why we're here to get food. compared to grocery stores, the prices here are a bar game or new one year old covers it. but for some it's still hard to come. a nice you the hottest todd was getting myself to go to the food bank. i am ashamed of it. 57 year old t us and unders lopez was forced into early retirement of the suffering. a hot tech he's been unemployed dispute. the 92 shot it takes up psychological,
