9:25 pm
a little there but. the rest of the journey through mauritania is uneventful as the two drivers meet their way two hundred kilometers talk. on the border with senegal. population around fifty thousand is the third largest city in mauritania but has no bridge across the synagogue river. the two forty six ton trucks can only cross on the tiny ferry one at a time. ibrahim and i did have been up since the early hour worth and the stresses of the journey are starting to take their toll especially

fact the drivers don't undiluted to come to a gurney the next morning and then have to get ready to collect a new dog a fresh produce to transport back to morocco. the shipping agent seems to have the range for employ him and i have to be able to pick up a consignment of mangoes but the fruit isn't yet ready for collection. there's usually very circular offered up a mob jump on officers. of one of the innocent to get away with certain words he would minimize the risk reward system goodness of the money. that's where i guess it's not so it's all mopping what was scandalous you had the moon get them working for molly but here's the scene maybe i'm someone to somebody in the way that she is now this is a plot of marley as it is one point is reversed come on tell one story or. see
9:34 pm
a fix manulife you want that one left without seeing launched by experts. silver had enough. the next day the two drivers make their way to the warehouse where the mangoes are being packed and both get twenty two of those. for fresh produce like mangoes the trucks need to be refrigerated for the journey across the desert back to morocco. but it but he has discovered there is a problem with the refrigeration on his truck it keeps cutting out and he can't figure out why. while he checks again i did it could be because the whole it's company for advice on how to fix that's. something i
9:35 pm
think that. i know if i think. most kind of people see it divided i think one thing thank you thank. thank. them all give us give a little did you get most of the white. stuff at the time she face it lets you figure was she said she jumps or did you. want to show up to see them about everybody but it would be a model for what suffering here was outside what i was others that i think that it will be most good to ship out so you will have a life if you have the idea itself. of. death don't say which. shows you that gets off it does this. life because of
9:36 pm

begins our coverage. buried under thousands of tons of reinforced concrete it's possible there might still be survivors from the genoa bridge collapse. we've inspected all the zones that we were able to reach without using bulldozers since last night we started removing bigger concrete parts of the collapsed bridge sorts teams could go in and find more people. there were at least thirty cars on the bridge when it collapsed in driving rain on tuesday according to local forty's the mother saw the i heard an amazing noise i saw the road collapsing and i went down with it i was lucky enough to land i don't even know how because if you saw my car. what caused them around the bridge to fall is unknown early speculation is focused on structural weakness and italian specialist engineering website published an article that highlighted how the fifty year old bridge had
9:51 pm
always presented what it called structural downs he called the collapse a tragedy waiting to happen. to see if maintenance to the bridge has not been undertaken as it should have it is extraordinary that this could have led to the blockage of such an important port as general. transport minister was referring to motorway for autostrada the holds the concession for the bridge he's demanded the resignation of the company's top managers italian government says it will now inspect the structure of aging bridges and tunnels across the country. bernard smith al-jazeera. other bridge is named after his design of the car door more and he specialized in reinforced concrete structures or the bridge was one point two kilometers long and was completed in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven around twenty five million vehicles used it every year people there say they've been worried about it for some time major repairs were carried out in the one nine
9:52 pm
hundred ninety s. and a report in twenty eleven said the bridge showed no signs of decay or restructuring work was completed in twenty sixteen and maintenance was being done on its foundations at the time of the collapse but in firth is a consultant structural engineer with calvi a consulting group specializing in engineering environmental science and economics he says this style of bridge requires much more maintenance than others. a bridge of this nature of this age would you would never see look to see if there's any kind of signs of corrosion which may have been going on in some of those tendons that you mentioned there's a concrete bridge it's actually a pre-stressed concrete bridge which meter has some high strength and style steel members inside there and if those were corroding and you know undetected you know that corrosion to be undetected that could have been a problem so i would be looking at those. critical tension elements which hold the bridge up to see where there was any signs of that but but i mean engineers have
9:53 pm
been maintaining the bridge over the lifetime of the bridge so you know they would be looking for that already. i would be surprised if major. corrosion like that had gone undetected because we know that the bridge has been subject to some ongoing inspection and maintenance work as you say the bridge obviously has been subject to very heavy traffic when it was designed back in the sixty's built back in the sixty's you know the traffic was very much lighter and we know that the bridges had some strengthening work potentially i don't know but potentially to deal with the fact that it's got a much increased level of imposed loading on it the weather conditions people talked about the weather the storm you know i am not convinced by any story that says you know that the storm brought the bridge down very unlikely but you know you can't rule it out at this stage it's a very unusual design and frankly you need to give confidence if you like to your to your viewers that this is a very very rare thankfully very very rare and extreme event and bridges by and
9:54 pm
large are safe they are looked after by engineers people like me who whose job it is to inspect and maintain and advise bridge owners about the nature of the nature of the maintenance and the risks and so on and this bridge is obviously had a disaster with the nightmare scenario that has pushed designers you know hardly to think would ever happen. but this is such a rare event people should not worry that all bridges of that age are suddenly going to be suspect. dozen people have been killed in a blast close to an educational center in afghanistan's capital in the past few hours suspected suicide bomber blew himself up at the building in the mainly shia area west of kabul latest reports say at least thirty five people have been injured no one has claimed responsibility. it comes as the afghan military says it's made significant gains against the taliban in the as they city south of kabul the
