a suspect but he refuses to cooperate. and turkish president. opens a new front in his diplomatic spots for the united states. the u.s. electronic goods including the i phone. we start with a major transfer disaster in the italian port city of genoa they ten million deputy prime minister says thirty people were killed and many seriously injured when part of a four lead bridge collapsed earlier today a two hundred metre long section of the reinforced concrete bridge in about twenty cars and trucks fell. and. reports say the miranda bridge was undergoing structure to the bridges on

a main highway linking. it was built in the nine hundred sixty s. and is known as the brooklyn bridge of genoa. for the very latest i'm joined now by john the sea monkey double is monitoring the situation from the italian capital groom of the dead still has risen to at least thirty people what can you tell us about the victims where what we do know is that yet and tomorrow really is a major public holiday here in italy it's the may just summer holiday and so there were probably people on that bridge either preparing to travel out of the city going to the mountains or going to the beach and so that's why we do see this death toll are rising and there's concern of course as they try to discover how many people were underneath we have heard reports of many people missing and so we have that death toll at the moment as well as many people injured some of which seriously so we'll have to see how things progress in the next couple of hours and

perhaps even days what we do know that there was some thirty cars involved as well as three trucks in this incident as that the massive concrete slabs came crashing down and so the rescue services trying to pull the people out of those cars underneath that concrete definitely a tough job ahead for them right now and i mean any issue thoughts on what earth caused the collapse of a section of that bridge. well what we do know is that as you mentioned days maintenance work being carried out but there's been maintenance work being carried out on this bridge for a number of years that it was inaugurated back in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven but has really been the cause of a lot of problems there have been reports about the cement tearing away there has been all saw our talk back in two thousand and nine that perhaps this in type of project should be demolished and so we have a lot of reaction on social media and even of course from the political forces here

in italy with the transport and infrastructure minister being very clear saying those responsible will pay for this a disaster but at the moment of course all eyes on a possible rescue and we have the prime minister and the deputy prime minister the leader of the five star movement traveling to the site of genoa later today to express their closeness to the people involved in this tragedy and this is the main thrown course is going to be on driskill how emergency service is dealing with this disaster what we do know is that the fire services as well as the ambulance services on board some two hundred firemen involved and as i mentioned they're involved in pulling people out of those trapped in the cars that are under all this rubble for people in fact were extracted the lives of that some good that seems to be coming out of it but people who were in the city described the situation and the sound of when it fell was like as if a bomb that hit the city and they're treating this emergency like how they would treat an earthquake here in italy so all the steps are in place for the emergence

of services to try and find as many people alive as they possibly can and ask questions being asked about the stage of infrastructure in italy how are people there reacting to this disaster. i think you find really speaking to ordinary talons a real frustration at the number of these so-called what appears to be manmade disasters happening in the country perhaps you know a lot of people hear me feel a possible terrorist attack but in this particular instance it was something that perhaps could have been avoided of course there has to be an investigation put in place to find out what can be done but a frustration among many italians that perhaps the infrastructure in this country a g seven member no less could is really not up to scratch and more really needs to be done so clearly there's going to be an investigation into this very unfortunate incident but all thoughts perhaps now with those potential survivors underneath the rubble see thank you very much for joining us with that update from rome.
