a recovery operation that started very early this morning. here have still not yielded the results that would bring comfort and closer to the families. still waiting for the remains of their loved ones to be returned to them. the searching divers face terrible conditions in the water conditions about our further compounded by disagreeable weather here in baltimore. but as the community tries to process what happened, investigators are moving into how and why it did. the national transport safety board is analyzing the contents of the data recorder, pulled from the jolly. it's looking into the structural integrity of the bridge. it's trying to determine whether contaminated fuel might have played a role in this incident. now it's a long road still ahead in terms of finding the answers that would satisfy those that were affected by this personally and economically. but it's a necessary road to travel to prevent further tragedies like these from happening

again. so between eligible and they're reporting from baltimore. you as president biden is pledge federal funds to pay for the reconstruction of the bridge insurance, also facing losses of up to $4000000000.00 to cover the damage. the u. s. transportation secretary pete booted. you says 8000 jobs are directly at risk. baltimore is one of america's biggest ports. it's not clear how long it will remain closed the effects on every time commerce, they seem to be far reach is fully loaded. the tale is still stuck. nobody knows how long it will take to free the best off from the tons of steel that collapsed on it when the ship veered into one of the hall, but bridges main pillars. for now, the accident is causing major problems in and around the port. with a key bridge gone, a major audra read along the us. the eastern seaboard has been cut. traffic will

have to be re routed 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 into united states handling more than $52000000.00 tons of foreign cargo last year, contributing some $80000000000.00 to the countries foreign trade. with access to the port blocked incoming vessel. so we'll have to rewrite what's to nearby ports, including those in new york in new jersey. further north and virginia little further south. among the goods handled in baltimore, steel and cars. the port 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. so you as president biden, much to oversee a quick and strong response to the incident and to ask the federal government for the funds needed to rebuild the friction 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 concerned 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 daily and the 1st place and how to make bridges more safe. to avoid similar accidents in the future. us officials say that talks are under way to bring is really representatives to the united states to discuss military operations in gaza . israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu, we fortunately requested talks to be rescheduled. now israel was supposed to send a delegation to washington this week to discuss its plan defensive in ross i. however, there's an you all who cancel those talks on monday. after that, you was failed to veto a you in call for a ceasefire in gaza. journalist semi circle, explain why and isn't yahoo might have changed his mind to. yeah, well 1st of all, this is a decision not to send the gay should go to washington dc. i was suppose to create

and leverage on the americans and maybe to pressure the american administration and to try and it caused them to veto the decision in the security council quoting for a ceasefire with this, it clearly has saying that tactic has failed and it's in the i was criticized so it only by the media who has been mocking him for the same decision, but also from, with inside the government. and administers, have been saying that this is, was the wrong decision as the delegation should have gone to washington. as it is always in no position to put these kinds of conditions to the united states. does that mean? why don't you think nothing else? who did this? i mean, why would he risk losing the support of the us is most important ally or well,

the reason the bose and is there a has indicated that let me draw or do a visa or any public do believe that is really leaders should follow the interest of the state of israel, lot the a or do so to speak from the american allies. and this is a specially clear when it comes to anthony a who's a voting group, the people that would be voting for him or for the right wing parties in the upcoming elections. so this kind of confrontation with the united states with nothing, you always say that he wants to go ahead and launch a major operation in the far end it confronting america. so this is actually popular in a wide circuits in these are in the public and especially amongst supporters now.

so where does this leave relations between the us and israel? yeah, well the americans are constantly trying to reassure these riley public. uh the uh, the uh, relations uh, iron clad that america with continuing support is red and eh, and so forth. uh, but if we here, uh, let's say the vice president, pamela harris in summer or her comments and others, we hear the implied threat. that if is a, we a continue at the challenge of the, the americans, if it will not comply with these kinds of requests such as avoid being a ground operation mass of operation and rough uh, nothing. lifting in food a,

into the gaza strip and so forth. that there will be consequences. so we have to see when at the both point the americans will actually decide to go ahead with that journalist, sammy spoken with the league as to mike from jerusalem. savings always. thank you. all right, let's take a look now and some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world, the you in special rapids here on the occupied palestinian territory. he says there's reasonable grounds to believe that israel is committing genocide and gossip . and jessica ebony easy says israel's military grounds have intentionally subverted their protection functions in their operation against them. awesome. israel says that it's utterly rejects. the find says the inside exam was made in opposition. candidates also rule the my face has once and the goal is presidential elections by a comfortable margin provisional result and showed that he took 54 percent of the vote. more of the previously projected phase victory still has to be validated by
