a football pitch and dozens of vehicles a crashing into buildings around where lines below thirty nine deaths have been confirmed so far firefighters are spending a second night searching for survivors. sheer devastation in general 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. at the gym i started to call him forty times fifty times and then i started also to call his friend and he was together with his wife and then i came to the hospital there and they said that he was no me. some relatives are waiting at the hospital for news of loved ones. in greece his name is not among the missing not among the hospital patients we don't know anything i hope he's in

this ambulance arriving now because i was just told that they found someone and he 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 little on rescue. many italians are now asking questions how could this have happened and who if anyone is responsible. straight to gen than when we joined you don't lose a shot chelsea but i tell welcome charlotte let's start with the rescue work first tell us more about the task facing emergency workers. 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 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. 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 with 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 fears 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 today's 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 here behind me saying that it's enough safety precautions was taken that's something that the company though has fiercely denied it said all of its checks were out today 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 answers from the italian government over what's next and particularly they want
