the, the, this is due to be news, why? but from berlin tonight, the death toll from that bridge collapse in the us mail stands at 6, divers have recovered the data recorder from the cargo ship, which crashed into baltimore's francis scott key bridge. now one of america's major ports is out of action. also coming up the united states rejecting calls the edits, air drops of the agents, a gaza territory. some us government says 18 people have been killed, trying to get to food packages and a school with a difference in war torn ukraine. nearly 2000 payables move into underground class rooms constructed deep in the metro and the extra city

of her keep safe from brushing miss the ivory golf is good to have you with this on this wednesday. and we begin in the united states where federal safety officers have recovered the black box recorder from that cargo ship, which knocked down a bridge in the us city of baltimore. the francis scott key bridge collapse when it was rammed by a cargo vessel that lost control of it. steering authorities were now examined the ships data recorder. divers are searching for the bodies of 6 people missing and presumed dead as well. the governor of the state of maryland to day praised the professionalism of the emergency services. they are in frigid conditions. they are

down there and in darkness where they can literally see about a foot in front of them. they are trying to navigate mangled metal and they're also in a place that they, it is now for zone that people have lost their lives. so the work of these 1st responders, the work of these divers, i, i cannot stress enough how remarkable these are, these individuals are. all right, i want to go down to baltimore, my colleague and or corresponded jail to allow, is on the story force. janelle, it's good to see you, so this is no longer a rescue. this is purely a recovery mission. we understand what's the latest with that as indeed brian. so we're back here at the northern part of the bridge where those recovery efforts are very much ongoing recovery efforts that are taking place over there. it started very early this morning. it is still continuing with the, the span of the operation spanning the length of the bridge and it area

a little bit beyond. but we heard a little bit about the challenges faced by the divers there from the guard, from the governor of maryland west more but apart from the frigid conditions, these divers also have to say, saw debris in the water. they also have to face a strong current, and as you can tell, brand to a by looking at where i am this terrible weather that we're having is really not helping. it is rainy. it is foggy, but as challenging as these conditions are, of course they're also being helped by additional equipment. for example, a remote to operated vehicles, fit outfitted with sewing, or they're also using sooner, tugging them behind volt volt behind boats. so they're looking for vehicles, they're looking for human remains, but because this operation is so difficult, it is just hard to tell how long they will keep searching for, even though they have said it is very important for them to be able to do this in order to bring closure to those families affected. yeah, and understandably, so,

we knew this disaster happened in a very short span of time yesterday. what do we know about developments in the investigation into how this happened? well, as you just mentioned, the national transport safety board, the n t s b has now recovered the data recorder from the dalai and they want to be able to use of the contents of those data recorders to be able to piece together a timeline of events we're told that the n t s b will share some of those findings later, but the i d a is to find out what happened when. now there is a pretty much saw the narrative on the table at the moment, which is that the ship pilot tried to do everything that he can in order to slow the boat and prevent the collision. he called for an anchor to be dropped. he issued a distress call and the question now remains why this collision happened anyway.

they're also looking into whether contaminated fuel might have played a role. but it's worth noting that uh, just a catastrophe of the size. this will take several years to investigate the n t s future also alluded to previous bridge collapses. for example, the for an hollow bridge in pittsburgh. she said that was a collapse from 2 years ago that also took 2 years to investigate. some experts are saying this is an investigation that could take as long as 5 years. and it really is worth noting, we're in day to brian. so many more details will emerge yet. you corresponded janelle to move on in baltimore with the latest on the investigation into the bridge disaster jail think. well, the city of baltimore is one of the americas major ports. the us federal government is pledge to fund reconstruction of the collapsed bridge. but this incident,

this disaster, it will have far reaching consequences for maritime trade in the region. and maybe even globally fully loaded, the davi is still stuck. nobody knows how long it will take to free the best. so from the tons of steel that collapsed on it, when the ship veered into one of the harbor bridge is main pillars. for now, the accident is causing major problems in and around the port. with a key bridge gone, a major artery along the us, the eastern seaboard has been cut. traffic will have to be rerouted for years to come, leading to clocked up streets in the greater washington dc area. but even worse, ship traffic in and out of port has also been stopped. the port of baltimore is one of the busiest indeed united states handling more than $52000000.00 tons of foreign cargo last year, contributing some $80000000000.00 to the countries for trade. with access to the port blocked incoming vessels will have to reroute with to nearby ports,

including those in new york and new jersey for the north and virginia level for the south. among the goods handled in baltimore steel and cars, the board has major role on role of facilities. and it's the entry point for hundreds of thousands of cars per year. german automakers even have their own facilities inside the sprawling area. well, bmw volkswagen, located at sparrows point just outside the main port. mercedes operates out of fairfield and won't be able to accept incoming vessels until further notice. you as president biden fletch to oversee a quick and strong response to the incident and to ask the federal government for the funds needed to rebuild the bridge and port about the terrible on to for to baltimore's. one of the nation's largest shipping helps. it handles a record amount of cargo and last year it's also top port in america, both imports and exports of automobiles and light trucks. around 850000 vehicles.

go through the port every single year. and we're going to get it up and running again as soon as possible. and local jobs are a concern in baltimore to we're looking at not having ships coming in for. no one knows how long at this point, you know, that's gonna affect the lives of, of longshoremen and stevedores. and the tug boat cruise um that you know, potentially they are lose. they're going to lose income because there's no, there's no vessel traffic coming in or out of the port. bringing baltimore back. we'll take time for now. the focus is on investigating what exactly happened on the valley in the 1st place, and how to make bridges more safe. to avoid similar accidents in the future. united states has rejected a call from her most in the air drops of aid. in regards of the militant group says

that people have been killed, white or trying to collect food packages, parts of gaza, or facing famine nearly 6 months into israel's military offensive, which was triggered by the october 7th. almost terror attacks seems like these are quickly becoming in the dream feature of the war and gaz. a humanitarian aid dropped from an aircraft over the territory. this time it falls in limited terrain in well, of for making the civilians on the ground even more desperate miss. send them aside at the end. the law. uh but yeah, we will. what do you think for the aid when we were surprised to see the plane coming and dropping it into the sea? the lot of people were swimming to retrieve the i didn't survive the event of the mass of pointed health officials say at least 12 people drowned this week trying to reach our dropped packages. and now the 6

people were killed in stump beads. the group is urgent that our drops be stopped. a police reported by many guardians, in terms of the one of the biggest mistakes is that it's dropped in dangerous places. like to see some of the people trying to get the aid have drowned. last week, i bought it of the problem is simple as that they need to bring it through the crossing. so it can reach these poor people that have really been bad. pressure has been growing on israel to help speed up a deliveries through the border crossings into gaza. with the un warning, the territory is on the verge of a man made sign. mean you cannot claim to adhere to these international permissions. know when you block on why?

well food con voice, when you just last week, denied 5 missions to the north. when we have now reports of these radio tax on warehouses and the police that are supposed to help secure this aid inside guns view and also criticize claims by somebody's really officials refute and reports of a name. and then, i mean, i said, and i will say it again, as much as i know there is no salvation cause it is a groups desperate to bring more food into gas a us it will keep power, shooting aid into the territory. washington ncc, the air drugs are just one of the channels for a deliveries in that they should continue when they go now to jerusalem, joy by showing the lo, she is with the norwegian refugee council in jerusalem. it's good to see you again . the moss, as called for the suspension of these air drops,

the united states says that they will continue. where do you stand? of course, any aid getting into gaza is essential at this point. but as, as a means that in that report that you just air the most efficient, the easiest way to get aide into gaza. it through the crossings that already exist . and we desperately need those crossing to be operating at capacity and the opening of additional crossings to allow for more aid in the amount of 8 that is coming in these air drops. it's just a tiny, tiny, dropping the ocean of what's needed. i it would be much more efficient to bring an aide through the crossings where as of now hundreds, if not thousands of trucks are lined. deb just need to enter gaza. we understand the people who have died while attempting to get a drop by air. we're mostly in the north of the territory. we're, as the un says that famine is imminent. so why is it so difficult for aid to reach

people they are or well, there's a few reasons. the 1st is that 8 is coming in primarily through the rock crossing in the south or through cache along crossing in the south. and so to get that aid up to northern gaza takes a lot of time and there's desperation throughout all of guidance. so often times it's difficult for entire convoys to me get to their destination. on top of that, do you, when other 2 men of tearing agencies are struggling to coordinate with these rarely forces to ensure that a can can reach the north and access people. there multiple convoys have been denied to reach the north and in just the last week. on top of that, there's an ongoing deterioration of civil order and god. but because of the targeting of the, of the civilian police officers involved that we have been dispatched to help

protect the aid and insurance able to reach where it's meant to go and be distributed adequately unfairly to those war need. and so all of these are making the situation in northern gaza, more and more desperate. there's been a handful of of convoys that have been able to enter directly to the north. but that hasn't been a consistent a route. yeah, and agencies continue to tell us that there are no alternatives to getting aide by land land crossings. israel is under increasing pressure to allow more agent to garza. may i ask you, is your staff on the ground seeing an increase in aid in recent days at all? no, in fact, in the last few days over the weekend, very few trucks were going in. we still are falling short most days of even 200 trucks entering, let alone the minimum of 500 trucks that are, are needed in order to support the basic needs of the population in garza. alright, shallow with norwegian refugee council. as always,

we appreciate your time tonight. thank you. all right, let's take a look now. some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. us media say these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu wants to reschedule a meeting that he cancelled. israel was supposed to send the officials to washington this week to discuss its plan offensive in rough. uh, but that then you all who canceled the talks when the us declined to veto a human call for a ceasefire in gosh, you ins at special rapids here on the occupied palestinian territories says there is reasonable grounds to believe. israel is committing genocide in garza. jessica ebony easy says israel's military thing has that intentional subverted. they are protection functions in their operation against a must is real says typically it's really rejects those fine. she acts up to the prosecutors are seeking to jail. the former football chief louis will be all this

for 2 and a half years for kissing spain, midfielder judy, and also on the lips against her will at the world cock or be honestly standing trial for sexual assault in coersion. prosecutors also want to be all as to pay a $100000.00 euros and compensation which is a conflict in ukraine. now we're official say a russian attack on the city of her. he has killed at least one person in wounded. several others. the ukrainian interior ministry reporting that russian air strikes should at least 3 residential buildings into school. the city's mayor says a medical facility was also damaged. the attack comes as keith calls for more air defense systems, from the west to combat a search in missile strikes and recently of a local governor in russia says its defenses have intercepted 18, so called airborne targets. in the bel garad region, dw is an economy told us more about how effective these ukrainian attacks can be.

was it seems because belgrade is basically the neighboring city to kind of give it's about 70 to them to down the road. absolutely. most of this will basically build it was more or less unaffected and russians living that could basically convince themselves that this what was happening in the brain that it didn't affect them. but in recent months, we've seen ukraine stepping up. it's attacked on attacks on villages just across the border, but also gauge builder and city will say now more recently attacks on target fob beyond the front line to be on the border, russian oil facilities, mississippi, this book and most go. i think there are different elements here. first, i think it's important ukraine to basically bring that message to russians, that this is not something that doesn't affect them, that they off paying a price for that. go much more on your brain. that's the 1st thing. secondly, there's a ministry component, there's obviously forces website to take a defense systems to protect cities like the builder and away from the front lines . previously, those systems could have protected russian troops in ukraine's. that's the 2nd thing that i think thirdly, i think the major thing in all of this is a,

it's the economic impacts. great. and gilbert right now wants to deprive russia of it's willing comments. so we've seen these attacks on oil refineries on export terminals. it has to be a bit of a kind of interesting speculation that the us may be telling you crazy to stop doing this because they fear rising a little price is worldwide. if those russian exports are tailed. and that could by themselves the re election, but certainly for now, ukraine is trying to bring this war to russians on the doorsteps. remind them that this is something that isn't just going one way that there was an economy reporting there. the war in ukraine has destroyed many schools in front line areas, but a new initiative in the eastern city of harkey means nearly 2000 people can now attend lessons in new classrooms built underground in metro stations. the bell signals the stocks of another day. everything here is as you'd expect, children exercise books, bored and teacher. but there is one key difference. the school is subterranean,

built within the cock is metro. russian missiles could strike this city. it's a moment's notice. so it's better for the children. ceylon below ground is safe in the subway because the explosions outside and that was school could be destroyed, that the, these 1st graders have 3 lessons in the metro station today, followed by 2 more at home on line. once they've left all the clauses, take that place. this rotation gives as many children as possible, the opportunity to learn in the classroom. there is no deal, of course the children and we take dismiss normal education very much. by normal, i mean face to face communication. so when the opportunity arose, to learn here, we will very happy children, parents and teachers alike. elaina says that it felt strange to teach you at 1st, but she still got used to me. it's what do you mean young lawyer?

there are many sounds down here besides the trains, but we don't react to those anymore. they don't bother us anymore. new isn't. the schools have now been built within 5 of call kits. metro stations adopted from what were once technical rooms and passages ventilation and video cameras have been installed throughout, while teachers are helped by classroom assistance, psychologists, administrators, and that some of this was pretty new for all of us. so use it had been difficult at times, but there were no unsolvable problems. there was only unwillingness to solve them. we had the desire to create all of this move in 2200 students attend these metro schools. but there was still not enough space for everyone. more than a 100 schools in khaki if have been damaged by shelling, many beyond repair. do you underground schools are being built across cock give to accommodates most students. but the children dream of a time when attending such facilities will no longer be necessary. i would like to

go back to school with a no more school, which is more from that and here which for now at least these metro and schools are giving children a small tice, that the structure he wants to click onto your largest economy is feeling not so large these days, germany's leading economic institutes, every vines that countries growth this year, down to basically near of stagnation. they now expect the german economy to increase by just 0 point one percent in 2024, slashing their previous forecast and more than one percent high interest rates, weak level demand and political and certainly have disappointed hopes for a stronger recovery and with they've so bring numbers i'm joined now by your kramer. he is the chief economist that comment spunk, that's one in germany's largest bank. so it's good to see you again. and if,

if germany were a patient, we would say it's very anemic. so. so what is wrong with the german con? the german economy is currently in a, in a recession, but seem to indicate as i'm pulling by to your right and, and all recession does not mean a strong recovery. and the reasons, primarily structure, we are looking back to my 2 year erosion of competitiveness. we have a lot of red tape. we have high corporate of texas. we have a bet schools that roads and a high energy prices. and all of this is weighing on the optimism of the corporate sector. and this is the main reason why there is a direct on grows since 2019 the drama. gdp has only been stagnated. and take me if you will, from the board room the to the countries living room. but how will people here in

germany feel the almost yes, stag nation stagnant growth this year? in the past, the people would have worried about higher unemployment, but the to, to democratic reasons. this is not the problem, employment is fine, but the, the inflation adjusted incomes adult. and this is a, the problem that means that we're roughly one 3rd of the population. they do not safe. that means that if their income goes down by 3 or 4 percent, due to a high inflation and only low increases in wages, then this is economic pain of this explains the weakness in, in private consumption and the depressed mood mind comes to consumers. yeah, and you know, for people trying to travel here in germany, oh, i have to tell them we've had a lot of strikes. they've become more and more frequent in germany in the last few months. how are these strikes impacting the health of the country's economy?

now, while the strikes of cause issues, psychological problem for the computers and the bed for the image of germany abroad . but only a very of those specially set to hopefully caught me effected by about the strikes . and this did not lower drum gdp, meaning for the real problems of structural problems. the original price competitive is this is the read problem. your creamer with command spunk is always mr. cream, and we appreciate your time and your analysis. thank you for staying here. in germany, at least 5 people had been killed. another 20 injured in a bus crash near the german city of lights. a traffic was stopped after the double decker viewed off the road and overturn investigation is now under way. it was a normal wednesday morning when the accident occurred on a busy north south highway linking berlin and munich. the long distance coach
