this is due to be a news live from berlin rescuers in italy are still working to find survivors of the collapsed highway bridge in the northern city of jenin one at least thirty eight people are now confirmed dead the government says it's determined to find out what caused the disaster. also coming out of the bridge should we leave the little boys or men of god responsible to them not only did nothing they feel for decades more than three hundred priests are accused of sexually abusing more than one thousand children in pennsylvania the first seven decades. or so and

relief for these migrants as they're told they cannot dock and malta after being stranded at sea for days but they won't be allowed to stay in the country so what will happen to them now. i'm sumi so much kind of good to have you with us the number of people killed after a highway bridge collapse in the italian city of jenin what has gone up to thirty eight many more are injured some seriously rescuers have been working around the clock to find survivors and bodies in the rubble the country's president says you might have at last call the collapse a catastrophe for the country. rescue efforts in general work this morning. firefighters and doctors worked throughout the night pulling survivors out of the rubble they're hopeful they'll find more. but there are also facing the grim

reality recovering the dead. emergency workers say the most difficult part of the rescue effort is still to come . from this evening we will start moving some of the biggest segments of concrete from the collapsed bridge in order to create new spaces for teams to enter and check for other survivors as well this is going through the pressure. that is. when them or any motorway bridge collapsed dozens of vehicles plummeted to the ground killing and injuring many and leaving behind a huge gap in the city's bridge. after seeing the collapsed bridge for himself italian prime minister two separate contests was somber. from what i have personally ascertained so far the number of dead will increase at this moment it's an incredible tragedy above all because

there's not been an explosion or an accident but we're working on the hypothesis of a structural failure. and. this is the moment the tragedy struck. the bridge which had been undergoing repair work collapsing during a tarantula downpour. for now the focus is on the rescue but many italians are of course now asking how this could have happened and the tragedy sinks in who if anyone is responsible. and that's the right of journalists that she's in the italian capital of rome covering this story for us hi sima bring us up to date on the search for survivors. oh well it's continuing some thousand personnel whether it's firefighters ambulance workers as well as the police are working to try and deal with this situation if i might just looking for survivors

be dealing with that issue very much like how they would deal with earthquakes here in italy something that they have experienced in the past and so it's the same type of unit that are in place searching through the rubble of course there is concern about the collapses because these are a massive giant concrete slabs that have crumbled and crushed to the ground and so they are working as cast me as they can hoping that perhaps there are some people still stuck under those big drops and still of this bridge in the meantime bill concern about the structure as a whole and as this as result some eleven buildings in the area have been evacuated as this search and rescue mission continues similar thirty three any closer to identifying who or what is to blame for this tragedy. well really the issue is it's a question of the structure of the foundation of this bridge now there are

a lot was sound many times in the pasta back in two thousand and nine that was a cold needful the entire structure to be demolished in twenty sixteen and experts said that this was a failed project and it needs to be substituted and the structure has undergone repairs ever since the seventy's and it was inaugurated back in one nine hundred sixty seven so even yesterday on tuesday there were work to be done so the question as to its maintenance really on the top of many of the politicians where the more was necessary to be done and he was done over the years and to me tell us how the italian government has been reacting to this the sasser. well we've just heard that the transport and infrastructure minister is calling for the top management of the out those that he now that's the company that manages this multiway and others around it's really calling to the top management to step aside to resign as

a result of this tragedy the deputy prime minster luigi dean mighell saying that they should step down and perhaps their license to operate these motorways should be revoked from this company really various aspects of within the political establishment need to be saying that those responsible must be big to pay there's also are questions being asked with enough money has been put forward to it order to deal with these massive infrastructure projects built in the fifty's sixty's and seventy's and really the maintenance really needed to be done in order to avoid such tragedies for now though are all i said really on the search and rescue hoping to find people still alive all the bodies of those that have been reported missing . journalists think bring us the very latest thank you seem.

not to some other stories making news around the world indian prime minister narendra modi has used the country's independence day celebrations to announce plans to send a manned flight into space by twenty twenty two india would become the fourth country after russia the united states and china to achieve the feat they said the astronaut could be a man or woman. and a taliban attack on a military base has killed at least forty afghan soldiers and police in the northern province of backlogged local officials said militants stormed the base and several checkpoints overnight before setting fire to the facilities the attack comes after a massive taliban assault on the eastern city of grozny last week. the work of a grand jury in the u.s. state of pennsylvania has published a report on the sexual abuse of children by roman catholic priests it says at least one thousand children were molested and raped by priests over a period of seven decades the report accuse the senior church officials including the man who is currently the archbishop of washington d.c.

of systematically covering up the complaints in approving this report more illegal three hundred clarity men have been accused of sexually abusing children in pennsylvania unchecked for decades officials say their investigation found systematic cover ups not just by church leaders in the u.s. state but also in the vatican rely on the euphemisms for church priests were raping little boys and girls and the men of god who were responsible for them not only did nothing the human toll for decades. some of the victims now adults were at the press conference others described their helplessness in a video released by investigators. months old huda believe me are released in ny team forty eight or forty seven would abuse you. do that we never heard of such a thing because they covered it up the grand jury find that more than one thousand

children were abused over seventy years they see the real number though might be much higher. our religious affairs correspondent martin is following the story for us he joins us in our studio hi martin we're talking about a thousand abused children that we know of who are abused over the course of seventy years how could it be that the church in pennsylvania was able to cover this up well essentially this is not just what we should be very clear that it's not just a pennsylvania phenomenon this is not just an american phenomenon this sort of a global phenomenon the church structure it's not only being accused of having breasts or hosting briefs that actually sex abuse children but they're being accused the century of a cover up in pennsylvania this was made explicit that in fact they are operating in pennsylvania over the last twenty years as a criminal organization that has been moving priests around to protect them so the fact is that there is a very light relation between us to call out already set

a local level and government with already they're not required to turn a lot of information that one would think that they should for instance accusations of abuse and this is basically to keep these people essentially heaton and continuing to you know perpetrate abuses over a very long period of time we're talking not about a thousand of these official numbers but we're very likely talking about you know many thousands many thousands of children so the structures aid the cover up is what you're saying there is absolutely no doubt that the structure has stayed the cover up there has been demands specially by the brave you spoke benedict that no priest and no confessor should actually turn incriminating information given in at least in confession to authorities to local authorities under penalty of excommunication so quite clearly the church was very much aware of this and was very much aware of the system was working in this way of the more than three hundred abusers who are known by name they've only been two charges how is that

well one of the brooms that the system has is that many of his crimes prescribe so after an amount of time they can no longer. the prosecuted which goes to say that in a seventy year period it's very likely that it's only in the last you know twenty years or fifteen years i mean the spins etc and of course that would make it very very difficult to prosecute in many of these cases what do you think the consequences are going to be here for the catholic church in pennsylvania look i mean the most interesting thing about this is that in a sense is once again pointing the finger at the very conservative elements within the church i mean there is a battle going on within the vatican between reformers and essentially the more conservative wing and that's something that quite clearly belongs to the last so many pope's this pope burst part responsibility he was an ecclesiastical authority in argentina he was very involved in the cardinal school but nonetheless the fact is that this belongs politically to i think it church too which disposed and this

about to and it's trying to pull away from as to whether that will be successful i think that the cease and impeachment of the church by and large but at the very same time it believes in favor of the current pope religious affairs correspondent martin following this story for us thank you so much for your analysis my pleasure now the rescue ship aquarius has now been given permission by malta to enter port after five european union countries agreed to accept the migrants on board the deal and the latest standoff between e.u. members that kept the ngo ship and one hundred forty one people stranded at sea for days without safe harbor. after days at sea the exhausted travelers will be docking in malta. rescued off the coast of libya the one hundred forty one migrants on board the aquarius were in turn rejected by several coastal countries including italy and italy cannot continue to
