this is. in a race against time rescue workers in genoa italy say they will spend all night searching the ruins of a collapsed bridge for survivors dramatic images today when the highway bridge woke up during severe weather at least twenty two people. will have the latest on the rescue effort also coming. british police investigate an apparent terrorist attack they're searching three properties in central england that's after a driver rammed

a passer by crashing into barriers outside the houses of parliament and turkish president. and his diplomatic spat with the united states he's now threatening to boycott u.s. electronics good. it's good to have you with us as darkness falls in italy rescue workers in general say they are planning to go all night in the hopes of finding people still a law or earlier today a huge section of a major highway bridge in genoa collapsed during severe weather now the cars and trucks and the people inside plummeted down into the void below at least twenty two people have been confirmed dead but officials have told us that number will rise.

for. all that. this man witnessed what many have to stride as a poor kalid take in just seconds a huge section of a motorway bridge crumbled into pieces. a truck managed to stop right on the edge but many were less fortunate and plunged forty five meters off onto warehouses and braille road tracks below. the incident happened on the eve of a major holiday with traffic busier than usual and i witness described the tragic moment. i heard a noise i looked out i saw the cars falling and we ran away now the electricity is switched off and we are waiting to be evacuated. only about what you are. the moron t. motorway bridge in the northwestern city of genoa was built in the sixty's and has

undergone a series of repasts it collapsed around noon local time critics point to what structural weaknesses as well as the sudden violent storm that struck the area at the time. now authorities say whoever was responsible for the manmade disaster must pay. their moment of that now is the moment for relief intervention work sweat in practice there but tonight we'll have to find out who was responsible and the names and surnames of those who are guilty of the unacceptable deaths or to be more of the unit shipped out really. but for the moment all eyes are on the rescue operation reports say that some victims have been found alive in the rubble bracing hopes that that could be further survivors. and i'm joined now by journalist seem a good jesse is monitoring the situation from the italian capital wrong good evening to you you've seen but i want to ask you about this rescue effort right now

are we getting any reports of workers actually finding survivors in the rubble. well what we know so far is that as the rescue search and rescue operations are continued today they have managed to put four people out alive and so with that in mind they are continuing the efforts through the night the death toll at the moment stands at twenty two but they expect that figure to rise that's because there have been reported some missing people reported that are still not accounted for and those that have been injured some of them are in a very serious condition so they could succumb to the injury now as you mentioned all we saw in that report this is the eve of a major public holiday here in italy for the summer period people could have been on the bridge heading out to the beach or to denounce and it's a major important bridge in motorway for the city of genoa and so they were on there at that time now four hundred forty people have also been evacuated from that

area because there's concern about potential further collapse so as a precaution they have been removed the bridge fifty one years old we understand that it was in need of maintenance instruct to work we do we have any reliable sources to annoy people saying. here could have contributed to the collapse. well i think it's interesting to note that there was a thunderstorm that hit the bridge the area around the bridge just before it collapsed in fact one eyewitness report talked about lightning striking the bridge before it collapsed at about eleven fifteen local time that said however you rightly pointed out the issue of maintenance the bridge was inaugurated back in one thousand nine hundred seven but it's undergone repair work a number of times since the seventy's and back in two thousand and nine there was even a suggestion that it should but attention to be demolished to really the question of maintenance where they nothing was done with it was done properly definitely on

the top of everybody's minds the transport and infrastructure minister saying those responsible will be made to pay the deputy prime minister echoing is thoughts as well the president said there and i speaking today said that frankly it was a shocking disgrace what it happened and that it's observed that perhaps maintenance could be potentially the issue behind this in what about the timing of this it is mid august and we know that in italy august is when people are on vacation and that had an impact on the ability of emergency services to deal with this disaster i mean are there simply enough people or willing to do you joe. well what we do know is that this some a thousand personnel involved in this operation right now that ranging from firefighters and services as well as the police all involved in trying to pull out if many people if they can find as people as they can and they will continue into the night the hospital it's also jam packed dealing with those that i've been

injured any is potentially dangerous work because as i mentioned they could be further collapse but that said be a treating this operation like how they would treat earthquake really something that italy has some experience on and so that's how they are aiming to tackle and even though it's in this august period as you mentioned all right journalists joining us tonight from rome with the latest on the rescue efforts surrounding the collapse of that bridge in general seem to think you were not only in italy are people asking how could this bridge simply break up in full to the ground for more on that i want to bring in stephanie marx from the university of hanover concrete structures such as the marine the bridge or his special area of expertise for us remarks it's good to have you on the program you saw all the dramatic video today of that bridge breaking up i mean what did you think when you saw those pictures you know he said same as most other people to want to

a horrible accident this is of course anything possible reasons behind it what do you think calls the bridge to collapse. oh it's much too early to say. such a typical. sixty's. and. that time was of course not today and so what does that mean then for bridges like this i mean did the architect who built the bridge that collapsed. i mean he built several other bridges. they all be checked to make sure that there are structural integrity is what it

should be. ok i don't see it has much to do a good person who is the engineer who is the design of this bridge i think in general that bridges from the sixty's are usually in the quites beds condition and so many of these bitches needs a lot of maintenance and needs a lot of repairs and society just have to spend more effort and more money to do so at this one one big reason. and one of the reason is we have seen. pictures from. the opening time of these bridges but just one little call was crossing the bridge but today we have really a huge increase in heavy trucks on the bridges and this is from the other side so from the side from the. that's

a very good point there were reports today professor that the bridge was full of cars and trucks bumper to bumper and there was a thunderstorm at the time some meteorologists say as much as a fifteen millimeters of water could have been standing on the bridge surface so lots of factors but let me ask you the more ending viaduct it was built fifty one years ago i mean it does need to be maintained but is it simply too old that mean today you wouldn't build a bridge like that so is it time for that bridge maybe to be replaced. yeah i see so you have to replace some of these at least you have. these just because they are. and they are. just efforts to maintain the infrastructure and this is society has to

that we need to spend more. resources in. professor steven marks chair of concrete structures joining us tonight from the university. professor thank you very much we appreciate your time and your insights thank you. what police in the u.k. are treating an early morning rush hour car crash outside the house of parliament as an act of terrorism three people were injured when a man drove his car into the security barriers outside the building the suspect a man in his late twenty's is reportedly not cooperating with investigators. this footage was taken moments after the car crashed outside the british parliament . television camera filmed the car driving toward the building into an access lane before hitting the barrier gate. several bikers and pedestrians were wounded.

claims the united states has severed ties the lira as retribution for ankara's detention of an american pastor on espionage and terrorism charges washington had already imposed sanctions on turkey and last week announced plans to double import tariffs on turkish elaman human steel since then the turkish lira has lost a quarter of its value here too and says it's part of a plot by the united states to devalue currencies globally meanwhile russian foreign minister sergey lavrov already predicts consequences for the dollar we didn't store but. i'm sure that this grave abuse of the u.s. dollar as a global reserve currency will result in the eventual demise of its role. or you will get the slow bits. while many analysts say that international concerns about into one's economic policies are behind the leader as crash the turkish leader

speaks of economic terrorism by washington and called on his country to boycott u.s. made goods i'm really proud of electronic on and we will boycott american electronic products if they have the i phone there is also samsung. you know no one has also renewed a call for turks to convert their euros and dollars into turkish lira to strengthen the currency meanwhile analysts hope for the central bank to take action to restore confidence in the lira. in new york a financial correspondent has more on that story nice to see you selfie so is adeline's boycott likely to have any serious the fact in u.s. companies apple for example was one company that he did it targets. now the really funny turkey is simply an important enough to american companies especially not to vic companies like apple the apple stock did not react at all and

fact it was in the green the entire trading session so investors weren't worried about this threat in the end american companies and the american economy and the american president just have more leverage so it is an unequal fight if you want charm ten afflicts way more damage entergy than the other way around and we saw that last week when he brought up tariffs on steel and aluminum turkey is not in a strong position right now so the american tech companies these two these chemical companies they are a little more than saber rattling basically and the broader markets even saw a little rally on tuesday with the stocks gaining on strong earning an equal spot as you point out but can things get any good in this dispute yes i would say so and the reason for this is the most added one is not facing someone here who is actually trying to come markets by taking

a passive or cautious stance on things and says the white house is actually harming the already weakened country even more by threatening more and more sanctions and terror of so the fall of the lira and the turkish economy are just collateral damage from one to save the pastor andrew brunson free and until he does not get what he wants in regards to this he is going to raise pressure on turkey our very own so she must give new york thank you very much. and in other stories president nicolas maduro announced that from now on the chief fuel will be available only to people of the special government aid card the so-called fatherland card for years to governments of the action in the key of ravaged country has have will be subsidized petrol this is a lot of russia's flat lock to oil smuggle to neighboring countries like colombia and the caribbean until now any driver could fill the tac the small ask you the

children the russian government has withdrawn funding from one of the country's most prominent human rights organizations the group called for human rights is led by activists left the party who is knelt fighting to keep it afloat among those most worried about the group survival are the people it helps not these include teenagers arrested for criticizing the government and their distraught relatives. to this demonstrator fears the worst concerns that more youth will be accused of what the government calls extremist activities for. protesters in moscow feel powerless in the face of a lot a growing number of russians are under legal pressure because of the legislation against so-called extremism authorities are applying the law with broad interpretation sometimes merely expressing opposition to the kremlin online or meeting like minded people is enough to land in trouble the state has one of the demonstrators in its sights seventy six year old left to lead

a human rights organization. a group there are lots of security staff police and secret service personnel there just trying to keep busy you would be sure there are water holes in the n.g.'s office a distraught couple seeks advice about their children who have been found guilty of being so-called extremist they're accused of pursuing subversive activities for many in this position ponomaryov is their last hope his organisation had received financial support from abroad but gave this up a few years ago and now relies solely on funding from russia's federal budget this is to avoid being labeled a foreign agent in his own country but he may soon lose the support to. the world that produced. if they don't give us any money we'll have to rely on funding from abroad and will be labeled a foreign agent this is the stuff that will make our work extremely difficult we

have to state on our letterhead and on our website that we are foreign agents. and then the officials won't have anything to do with us just that we knew. the consequences can be dire five months ago seventeen year old on a public over was arrested for having formed what authorities called an extremist organization with her friends. her mother's not having it she has no face and rushes legal system. she's among those who fear what could happen if human rights activists like left on a monday off don't draw attention to cases like this. then everything will be worse and it won't be reported with. the trials like these would take place behind closed doors and no one would try to help out that act upon which it was and yet it is just of i think public pressure is the only thing that will help. there's been considerable interest in this trial it's standing room only in the courtroom and

others can't get in. and his colleagues have mobilized as many people as they could. record so i would say we have to bring people together and put pressure on the court within the legal framework of course we were that's our special team. said is that. the court has been adjourned the trial will continue at a later date on the public is hoping the human rights activists can make a difference in her case. well as europe basks in a heat wave the best way to cool down for some is to take a dip in the sea a swimmer from england has taken that to a whole new level ross edgeley has broken the world record for the longest stage cease we're managing an incredible seventy four days in the water and he's not done yet his goal is to become the first person to swim around the entire british coast . actually set off on his epic journey on the first of june he swim six hours and
