the 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 at the time, the 5, the problem. it says 2 people have been rescued when it comes in a critical condition. several of us are still missing. marian on governor westmore sent the ship report and losing power just before the crash and that it made emergency call that allowed will star test to limits traffic across the bridge. you added that a preliminary 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 2.6 columbus as long with 4 lines on our original

on the 31000 vehicles across it every day. and it's a major part of the road network on the us east. coast, a 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 any intentional act. so clearly i still a lot of questions that to be onset. well, 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. we're basically searching for, for everyone that was potentially on the bridge. as you can imagine, some building like, you know, you know, what type of traffic was there of how many workers were there. this video uploaded by a ship 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 for the importance of 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 after mass. the point 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 from called if university has started the shipping industry since 1999. welcome to the w professor. i took it to us. 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 or the, the bridge team would have worked very hard to very quickly try to assess the

situation. and so my goal is to prevent the collision with the ship. adrenalin levels would have been running very high and the pilot, the captain on the bridge team would eval, acted together to try to follow. well, 1st of all, try to understand the situation and then straight forward all the emergency procedures to, to, to avoid the collision, which some, unfortunately appears to have been unsuccessful. it looks as if those right little time between when they they have looks propulsion and when they collided, received for instruction. i don't say that about that loss of power or loss of propulsion is like, is a key thing. how do, 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 wins forces that moves the vessel when you don't have any control over it

yourself. and the vessels i believe from things i've read, i believe it was going, it's about 8 notes, 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 best of my time to drop to on cuz from lunch i've read, but unfortunately it, it was too late to stop it from actually going into the, the bridge itself. so, so this the 1st then would have been into a situation whether major mediately over, say, very conscious of the catastrophic damage has been done. they would be wanting to assess the integrity of the how to check who on board was safe, checked that one on board was safe. i believe that was the case. and on this occasion,

i'm switching to think about the vessel stability of the contest ability and them, you know, to, to, to, to, 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 helen samsung from college university. we'll take a look at the most doors making news around the world that supposes of the light to come to intrinsic, collect, seen to found they have gathered as he's gray side to mock up 40 days since his death hundreds joined. his parents to life allows and pay their respects that it's important and orthodox christian institution is believed to be the day that the so the pots, the us a bunch of times approved plans to sell next generation find subjects to other countries. yeah. craft is being developed alongside the britain and it's advances

him, pell, has been following the high court's decision in london. as i was put, today's decision into a little bit of context have says the royce, to an appeal, a final appeal for june, and it's always 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, what his going 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 are taking assurances on several points from the us, including on free speech protections. and that judy and assault is wanting to face the death penalty of extra jointed and convicted to the us as 3 weeks to mind those insurances, and if it fails to do so,

then the sco appeal time. indeed. go ahead. now this is something of a partial victory full julian. assault is clearly his supporters would have liked to have seen that full appeal 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 sell it. show some pills in london. so it's rose defense minister is in washington for a 2nd day and meetings with top us officials and made increasing tensions of other countries, conductivity school, guys, thomas in gaza. us defense secretary lloyd austin, told you ive glance about the us is concerned about the high number of civilian casualties. i like a few monetary an age reaching the people of gaza. as comments come after, the us decline to block un resolution demanding an immediate cease fire and gaza
