some big promises to rock independence day modi tells the country he'll deliver a new health system to india's first manned space mission. i'm phil gale welcome to the program. as people ask how the jet of a motorway bridge came to collapse at least thirty nine people on known to have died rescuers are still searching for survivors it's a deputy prime minister says the company that manages the bridge should be held accountable. sheer devastation in genoa northern italy. firefighters and doctors have been working around the clock pulling survivors out of the rubble they're hopeful they'll find more. but the families of those

killed are facing a grim reality. said jim i started to call him forty times fifty times and then i started also to call his friend who was together with his wife and then i came to the hospital there and they said that he was no more. some relatives are waiting at the hospital for news of loved ones. on the bridge his name is not among the missing not among the hospitals patients we don't know anything i hope he's in this ambulance arriving now because i was just told that they found someone who answered his phone last night so we hope this could be a good sign. if there were. emergency workers say the most difficult part of the rescue effort is still to come. from this evening we'll start moving some of the biggest segments of concrete from the collapsed bridge that. we're doing this in order to create new spaces for teams to enter so they can

check for other survivors of their persona. for now the focus is still on rescue but many italians are now asking questions how could this have happened and who if anyone is responsible. straight to general than where we joined they don't lose a shot at chelsea but i welcome charlotte let's start with the their rescue first tell us more about the task facing americans who work as. well rescue officials that we've spoken to say that they are still hopeful that they will find survivors they've been working around the clock since this disaster using sniffer dogs throughout the night using floodlights trying to find anyone who is still alive in the wreckage they say they won't give up until they're convinced that they have found all of the survivors who are still buried underneath the rubble but this is now over twenty four hours since this collapse and hopes are

gradually starting to fade that survivors will be found the rescue teams that we've spoken to say they're facing huge logistical challenges here to trying to dig through the rubble they've pointed out that they are enormous slabs that have come down from the bridge just behind me and there is a danger in moving them there's a very real fear that if they start shifting the the concrete and the twisted metal around too much that they could be that it could fall even more perhaps crushing anyone that's still surviving still below the wreckage so there are some real worries but the fears here of course are that as the hours go on the search for survivors will turn to a search for bodies so this was a major road in the area a major local landmark how are people reacting. people that we've spoken to say that they are simply shocked if you say as you said this was a huge road running through general people would use it once or twice a day to try and get to where they were going it's called the brooklyn bridge in genoa are it's an enormous landmark here in the general landscape so there is just

absolutely stunned that this could happen people that we've spoken to they say that they are actually not surprised a lot of people have said that they've been expecting this for a long time we spoke to one man in fact who said that he was so nervous about the safety of the bridge that he whenever he drove over it would drive particularly foss there is a lot of concern here about that let's not forget as well that this isn't an ongoing situation for the people here in genoa there's been hundreds of accusations many people now are unable to return to their homes for fear that more the bridge could collapse on to them we've spoken to one man who couldn't return to work he said that he faced this could take days perhaps even weeks before he gets some signal that it's ok to return back and this is his government has been pointing the finger at the bridges private operator i'm the european union. that's right this is a huge test but it's a nice young government and they have come out fighting

a number of ministers as you've said have pointed the finger at the company that manages this bridge just hid behind me saying that it's enough safety precautions one take and that's something that the company that has physically denied it said all of its checks were up to date when it comes to the safety of this bridge yes the e.u. as well has also come under fire the several italian ministers have said that the e.u. had placed restrictions on the amount of money that was able to be spent on italian infrastructure there are so many people here though that say it is simply too soon to start placing blame they say blame and anger will only go so far they want on says from the italian government over what's next and particularly they want guarantees that a catastrophe like this won't happen at some point in the future that there won't be further bridges and other parts of italy that will suffer the same fate children children in general thank you. well jeff and mark is a civil engineer from leave university in the heart of a welcome to d.w.

you know you're a bridge designer yourself this is a bridge that's been repaired and renovated several times since it was opened in one nine hundred sixty seven is that unusual it's actually not that unusual to repair and to maintain birch it's a normal procedural during operation of highways and freeways and so obviously an inquiry has begun what are some of the most likely theories about how this came to happen of course is questions all right now but now it's actually only assumptions or speculation possible but if you see that structure and if you see the special conditions we had during the accident we had very severe weather conditions so a score could be happening during such and. i want to get out and so. the earth could. go away from the foundation for listeners and death leads to that could lead to problems and then the bridge of course is quite all this from the

sixty's so we have a lot of maintenance problems with these bridges in europe in general and that duration of the materials and teak of the structural members of course could be another reason rucksacks it's also an indication of several reasons but i think as you say we are speculating and we'll find out in due course but the fact that there was a storm hardly seems like a good reason for a bridge to collapse that just seems if if that is a reason this was a bad bridge it should not happen of course yes so bridge collapse is not accepted in general so bridges are usually very safe structures to safety and the safety margin is very high and bridge should never collapse due to such a bad occurrence. the italian press is reporting that this is the country's fifth bridge collapse in five years does italy perhaps have

a wider problem with its infrastructure i think so definitely if i see i said breach safety is very high in general and it's not except that bridges collapse not in public and not in engineering society so if we have five collapses in four in a couple of years that's definitely too high so what's go what do you think is going on in general terms what is the problem with italian infrastructure projects i think the maintenance of infrastructure is a very important task in the society but maintenance is of course a little boring because you cannot really. do some good. it's not nothing to show in the public you know because it's usual job during the during time and so it's often neglected or all right well as we will find out in due course for other very interesting stuff in the march and leaving this university

thank you so much come on to some of the other stories making news around the world at least forty eight people have been killed in a suicide bombing in a shiite neighborhood of the afghan capital kabul the bomber targeted a building where young men and women had been studying for university entrance exams officials have blamed the attack on the islamic state militant group. a court in germany has ruled that a suspected former bodyguard of asama bin ladin must be brought back from tunisia last month regional authority said the tunisian national donor sami back to his home country before his appeal against the deportation order was. germany's government plans to allow a third gender option on official records chancellor merkel's cabinet agreed on a draft law that will last a lot of people to list their gender as diverse rather than male or female last year germany's highest court ruled that exist in those do not respect individual

rights. democratic party voters in the u.s. state of vermont have nominated a transgender candidate to run for governor christie to help first defeated three other democrats in tuesday's primary she now faces a popular republican incumbent in november's election. now a grand jury in the us state of pennsylvania has published its report into the sexual abuse of children by roman catholic priests saying that at least a thousand children were molested and raped by hundreds of priests over seventy years the report goes on to accuse senior church leaders including the current archbishop of washington d.c. of systematically covering up reports of paedophilia brought to them by parishioners. many victims of way to decades for this investigation that pain evident as they attended a press conference by the grand jury it found three hundred and one priest sexually abused children and that cat over one thousand child victims were identified

by our investigation so the grand jury knows they believe that number was down satish. investigators say in many cases records have been lost and some victims were too afraid to come forward the abuse states back over seven decades some described the helplessness they experienced in a video released by investigator. for forty seven would have. never heard of such a thing because they covered it up church leaders in pennsylvania stunned at the scale of the abuse admit mistakes were made i humbly offer my sincere apology to each victim who has been violated anyone affiliated with the catholic church. i hope that you can accept

a few of the priests are likely to stand trial as many cases are now too old only two people have been charged small comfort for victims. let's get more from t.w. ethics correspondent martin gak welcome and we heard a bishop that talking about mistakes having been made but this this report says this was not a mistake this was a systematic cover up yeah absolutely i mean so i think that this is really just paying lip service to the entire problem i mean they have to say something and this is essentially what they went out and presented to the public but the fact is that we're not talking or mistakes at all we're talking about something that seems very well engineered and that lasted for at least at least seven decades so very clearly this was not a mistake this is something that was actually developed the details are really quite lurid they're very very difficult to read but they really show the systematic structure of not only covering up you know perpetrators but also system in

which victims would necessarily reproduce and sort of the numbers of victims expand but help me to understand is this is clearly this is not the first of these sorts of cases that the catholic church and indeed many other churches have faced what is it about the time or the offense that means an organization like a church which is meant to protect. how these allegations knows about them and chooses not only not to act but to cover them up well i think that the first thing to say is that the church quite clearly has been much more concerned with preserving you know the reputation of the church than with the victims i mean there is no doubt about it varies no other possible way to explain the fact that you have dissed number of victims. the fact is that we know that the policy of the church for many many years particularly under benedict was to prohibit any sort of airing of suspicions documents charges or reports to national authorities so oleg ations

were kept within the church and under benedict actually this was stand under penalty under under threat of excommunication so there was clearly a confabulation of silence and i think that it's very clear what the result of that was through more than three hundred abuses whose names are known but only two charges brule why well many of these cases go back a very very long time which means that many of this case can no longer be prosecuted it also has to do with the fact that a lot of the people have been moved around so some of them are now outside the american jurisdiction and you know there is a chance that perhaps some of these prosecutors will decide to try to bring them back if they're still alive in the crimes have not prescribe but this is actually has to be understood as the church not just hosting sexual predators but really covering up there to video sexual predators which essentially is a prosecutor pointed out it makes the church look like

a criminal organization or are going to station that operated as a criminal group believe it have another thank you my pleasure. after plunging the turkish lira is making moderate against helped by news that turkey is a bank regulator is limiting the amount of lira local banks can swap for foreign currency banks will only be allowed to exchange up to twenty five percent of their own equity foreign exchange swaps allow banks to secure rates regulators measures come after the turkish central banks announcement that it would provide bangs with cash flow analysts say turkey still needs to do a lot more to stabilize its currency and economy. and for more let's cross over now to our financial correspondent of frankfurt stock exchange on that is. well first of all turkey as we just learned can look forward

to a windfall from qatar what more do you know. qatar and there was speaking to the president every one of turkey and turkey and qatar are close or have become close economic and political allies and the emir has promised fifteen billion dollars worth of investment in turkey and government sources says that say that that's to be implemented rapidly and that it's to go into the turkish markets and the financial sector into banks and of course this means two things fifteen billion dollars is a lot of money the country can use and it gets foreign currency to boot and. symbolically important turkey does not stand alone with this it has partners who are willing to put their money where their mouth is. talking while staying with

money i mean we've heard that the turkish lira has been covering steadily over the past two days but the euro hit a one year low today is all connected to talking. it is it's collateral damage if you will because investors are fleeing to the safest haven they know the u.s. dollar they're fleeing more out of other countries especially turkey and emerging market economies than the euro but the adjustment in the euro on the downside all put it that way as really a perk not a problem here to the euro zone it makes exports all the much easier but of course there is still worries that the turkish crisis could increase a little the worries increased a little bit over the day the markets started off at ease but share prices went down after that still a major crisis most people don't expect a major conflict and trade that is still i think the number one risk that everyone

here in the market sees right at the front of stock exchange thank you so much this . now housing prices are rapidly rising in many cities across the world so much though that people with low incomes often struggling to even enter the market new zealand is now banning foreign nonresident investors from buying existing homes in the country the government is hoping this will stop property prices from rising they have almost doubled in the capital oakland over the past decade nationwide they've searched by sixty percent potential buyers from australia and singapore are except from that bad. now when it comes to rising house prices at the end b. is part of the problem and now european cities are imposing harsher regulations on the short term rental agency they say air b.n. b. is creating housing shortages undermining regulation of local tourism industry

promoting tax evasion it's holiday season and for many young people in particular that means getting ready to explore new places. in the first half of the year some six point four million visitors came to the german capital berlin that's the same number as in the whole of two thousand and five. these days an increasing number of people choosing to source their accommodation whether a room or an entire apartment through air b.n. b. but it's also about meeting people. that's really lovely and i've seen a lot of apartments and cities through the eyes of a local so it's been very good. for everyone air b.n. b. was founded ten years ago and went on to become one of the most valuable startups of all time almost five million people in one hundred ninety countries use the service which is worth an estimated thirty billion dollars but it's certainly not

a welcome concept everywhere with protests against the company becoming more commonplace some locals say they are being priced out of their own cities by property owners are turning to air b.n. b. to make big bucks those concerns have prompted several cities and countries to impose stricter regulations with some even mulling over bans. it was a year ago that germany's second largest airline at the time i was evelyn had to file for bankruptcy with a bridging loan of one hundred fifty million euros in taxpayers' cash the german government kept the ailing airline afloat for an extra two months critics of the move soon claimed that the money was just a subsidy to aid germany's number one airline wolf as it bought out. now evelyn administrators say the loan will be repaid but customers were left with few options and disrupted flight schedules. germany second

biggest airline a year ago it became history. of times a subsidiary euro wings was among those eyeing up the spoils ryanair c.e.o. michael o'leary accused the german government of favoring last time there for a takeover. all we see is a succession of german politicians falling over themselves. to award the air burning to the fans or calling your fans a german champion therefore because it's a german champion it should. be allowed to take over ninety five percent of the domestic market making not just a german champion but a german monster who will increase the cost of air travel for millions of germans in the end times i did indeed acquire most of air berlin's assets to get there with britain's easy jet it bought up air berlin's landing rights and airplanes. air berlin staff were forced to look for new jobs many of them have found work but are

now on stripped down contracts. well from an trouble to the season now a mediterranean odysseys finally come to an end that finally monica yesterday a french rescue ship aquarius as arrived in the multi-sport of the latter where it's disembarked one hundred forty one migrants rescued off the coast of libya last week most of them are from somalia and eritrea malta only granted the ship permission to enter its port after a u. countries agreed to accept the people on board be sent on to germany france spain portugal and luxembourg the deal ends a five day standoff that kept the ship at sea the un's refugee agency welcomed the agreement but called on the e.u. to find a better solution for dealing with my current rescue in the mediterranean. india's prime minister has announced the launch of ambition new health care system there under modi's comments came during a national address to mark independence day the new system dubbed modi aims to
