a twelve month state of emergency as it seeks to deal with the aftermath of the general bridge collapse prime ministers have become terry has also promised millions of euros in aid to the major port city and echoed other ministers in blaming the tragedy on auto strata of a company responsible for the bridges upkeep the fifty year old miranda bridge was shadowed for extensive maintenance later this year but it collapsed during heavy rain yesterday sending a section of concrete the size of a football pitch searching for survivors. the scene in genoa is one of utter devastation firefighters and doctors have been working around the clock to pull survivors out of the rubble. and they help folk that they can still find more people a life. but the families of those who died at facing a grim reality. of the game i started to call him forty times or 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 me. some relatives are waiting at the hospital for news of loved ones in the great 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 where. we're doing this in order to create new spaces for teams to enter so they can check for other survivors that will swallow 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. straits or general then where we joined they don't lose a shot shell so welcome charlotte let's start with the their rescue first tell us more about the task facing about the workers. 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 still surviving still below the wreckage so there are some real worries that 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 twice a day to try and get to where they were going it's called the brooklyn bridge 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. stephan marx 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 thousand nine hundred sixty seven is that unusual it's actually not that

unusual to repair and to maintain birch it's a normal procedure 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 these 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. what went out and saw. the earth could. go away from the foundations what was his and that leads to that could lead to problems and then the bridge of course is quite old is 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 rubs ups it's also an interaction 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 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 differently 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 during time and so it's often neglected or all right well as we will find out in due course for other very interesting stephanie march and leaving university thank you i want to come back to some of the other stories making news around the world a turkish court has released a human rights activist a time to kill it from prison is

noticed sami al-haj back to his home country before his appeal against deportation could be. though a grand jury in the u.s. 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. a systematically covering up reports of paedophilia brought to them by parishioners . pressed 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 in that 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 describe the hopelessness 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 the scale of the abuse admit mistakes were made i humbly offer my sincere apology to reach me . 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 think tim's

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 white 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 a very snow other possible way to explain the fact that you have this 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 all a geisha is were kept within the church and under benedict actually this was

standard 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 abusers 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 with the fact that a lot of the people have been moved around so some of them are now outside the american journey stiction 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 that to video sexual predators which is censure as a prosecutor pointed out that makes the church look like a criminal organization organization that operated as a criminal group believe it half and i think i thank you my pleasure. this is the

dublin news live from berlin still to come in just prime minister gears up for next year's election with some big promises there and remote he says he will deliver a new health system a manned space mission. that's funny shot at the business desk a state with the latest on turkey's economic troubles thank you so much filth turkish president trichet types are due on a german chancellor angela merkel have been discussing bilateral ties and a turkish leaders state visit to berlin next month in a phone call they say to turkey's treasury and finance minister will meet with his german counterpart ahead of the visit to turkey is currently caught up in a huge diplomatic and trade dispute with the united states and has no raise tariffs on a variety of u.s. products including cars and tobacco and the turkish president wants his people to buy caught the i phone he himself is now switching to another brand and the question is will these people do the same are reporting

papers a member of the past legal team had this to say. we have successfully filed oh it was in papers. application which we think is just a waste of time but that's what it cost to decide the next step will be for. the m.d.c. alliance to file an on setting up to delve into our papers and then from there their quota said on the matter for hearing. our team of legal practitioners is ready to meet me in the cell as in court. correspondent privilege very joins us from zimbabwe's capital harare welcome bridged let's start with zanu p.f. why do they believe these court filings are a waste of time. according to them they are saying that m.d.c. has no case. in what they filed on friday they are claiming that.

the m.d.c. fired with it was best on feelings more than facts and they are claiming that the case is no merits therefore the constitutional court should not intervene the opposition. after the papers that were filed on friday and tell us about the opposition's game plan and how does it want to proceed. according to the m.d.c. now what what what happens is that. now that there's an appeal has fired its opposition or posing papers today in court what is going to happen is that there will be six days in which are. three days are reserved for the opposition to respond to what design has filed today and then the court will sit down and set

a date for the hearing where both parties are then supposed to deliver their arguments in court by the m.d.c. is confident from what they were saying in friday on friday that they have evidence enough to all of a ten day fifty july election result and if the core words to decide in the m.d.c. favor where would that leave the election commission. it is interesting if that is to happen there literal commission at the moment there were so many complains that we were brought by the opposition before the commission . prior to the threat of july elections and they were you know bringing up a lot of issues that they were complaining about and some were acted upon in some

way ignored and then if the court is to over ten. election it will leave the election electoral commission with an egg on the face because some of the things that the opposition would claim we're claiming would then hold water but then what the process what will happen now is that. if the court overturns the result there will be sixty days in which the electoral commission is compelled to call for a fresh election in which the two leading candidates in muscle managua and nelson chamisa who have to contend tend again for their presidential seat and while the political wrangling goes on we know that six people died in post-election violence i wonder what ordinary zimbabweans are saying about the situation and briefly if you would mind. you know the

situation if you talk to people in the streets the some are frustrated some. you know losing hope you know what is happening because right now there everything is in limbo. there can't be any government that will be constituted specially in it or even parliament will not be able to see it if all these their filings in the courts and even the court better was not done so what is happening right now is that whatever decision making a decision that needs to be made in terms of the economy in terms of anything that is happening in the nation it is a standstill at the moment so ordinarily ordinary zimbabweans are bound to be affected right a privilege that most of them here in harare thank you. we have to review opiate next rafiq violence has internally displaced more than two

million people over recent months the violence in the south and east of the country broke out last year historic disagreements over land and resources led to fighting primarily between somalia's are almost get your people or clashes of centers along the border of ethiopia's somalia and all or romeo provinces are two of the country's nine provinces that are largely divided along ethnic lines the central government led by prime minister abi ahmed says the violence has been stirred by regional officials unhappy with government attempts to address the storage rights abuses in the region let's get more from journalist america your last from i d w's that i'm having region in. i'm hard service in bali beg your pardon what does the government mean when it says regional author officials have been stoking violence there. thank you feel for having me. he's trying to. say that there are some. people in the government of his who are not happy with the

new administration and they are trying to weaken his stationed in this to get incomplete and i think basically he's attributing this to them. but not only the officials but also there are some groups who are. whose business is affected by this new administration so they're trying to have killers here and there and try to. keep on their interest going on. i wonder if these claims are credible because if they are one presumes then better our investigations and there will be charges put well you're right there are those people who lived. at a meeting that they have to place that they took part in this in this violence and

also the recent case with the president of the it would be a somali region is one kid who stepped down from his station. and they claim that the prime minister made him somehow credible and we see people now being asked for what they have done in the parlance and we see that more than two million people have been displaced by this fighting what sort of help of a guy thing. on the ground i talked to the usaf country representative. an hour ago and she informed me that they are doing their best to bring basic services to those who are displaced from their homes and . they're getting. what they are going to zation could do in their cup as the

but. for me to be that that is not really enough to do to handle the monitoring crisis going on in the country and they need more funding of course now the new prime minister ahmed has introduced a number of domestic reforms as well as trying to normalize relations with eritrea iran is any of that threatened by this violence well i don't i don't limit that to return it look at relation when it comes to the peace in the top peace and stability in dhaka it has an effect you know only bring countries including somalia in djibouti we see people. from italy conflict also reported in djibouti in somaliland and you can see that is translating from from tokyo to other other. neighboring countries so it's not only eritrea but. for sure it will affect the.

opponents of b.d.s. say it is anti semitic because it's against israel as a jewish state and certain members of b.d.s. have made anti-semitic remarks that's of course a global debate and here we have to festivals in germany that are caught in the crossfire one is called the who would be an olive this is a huge festival the one that invited the young fathers by the way they were already in the headlines last year when they called on radio had to cancel its concert in israel which it did not and the other festival is much smaller it's berlin's pop couture it's opening today and it's facing a b.d.s. led boycott for the second year in a row. once again cancelled their participation in pop cultural festival feeding the b.d.s. movement called for a boycott because of israeli embassy sponsorship of israeli participants the festival head says the withdrawals make dialogue impossible that's harder and this

is a pity because that's just the dialogue we're looking for that we cannot have just . by card is not dialogue. the root has also been caught up in the storm the festival director stephanie can't invite it scottish band young fathers b.d.'s supporters who boycotted the festival in twenty seventeen after much criticism car uninvited the band but this only intensified the rao cop caved in a second time but the young fathers decided to stay away anyway the boycott divestment and sanctions movement six to isolate israel economically culturally and politically they make no exception even for israeli government critics like writer david grossman. in places where he. is calling. for the destruction of. prominent artists

including musician roger waters support the b.b.'s and have themselves been put in the firing line of eight and she some aren't so fighters for the freedom of palestine israeli writer and peace activist missy doran can see a positive side to the boycott calls it's a struggle without killing anyone and i believe that everybody could should be left to open boxes to talk to ask questions to doubt and to learn more about it. but for dialogue you have to come together israeli argentinian conduct to daniel barenboim seeks dialogue and reconciliation. west east and give an orchestra unites young arab and islamic musicians but has been criticized by the b.d.s. for promoting normalization with israel and breaking that cultural boycott. daniel barenboim actually a hugely popular figure here in germany has said that he sees

a place for b.d.s. that's even the b.d.s. has been basically made it impossible for him to tour the middle east germany of course is to overcome its history particularly the the holocaust the countries one of israel's closest allies how do those factors influence the b.d.s. debate here israel is one of germany's closest allies or the other way around. there's a lot of more resistance to b.d.s. here in germany than in other european countries and that's largely because when b.d.s. says don't buy from israelis a lot of germans are hearing echoes of the nazis saying don't buy from jews. there is definitely a sense in germany that the country has a special responsibility toward israel and criticism of israel is often cautiously read as anti-semitic so with this debate with these festivals we're seeing a lot of old questions being stirred up again when and how can people criticize israel without it being anti-semitic does boycotting or splitting of the pop

culture scene really help people in palestinian territories those are questions that are many different answers to them this is a debate that's not going to and especially next year as israel is going to be hosting the euro vision we're going to be hearing a lot more from b.d.s. here in europe especially even here in germany david leavitt's thanks so much for that. it's time to recap our top story at best it's a has declared a state of emotions the following the collapse of a motorway preaching channel at least thirty nine people on a confronted data search for survivors and to its second most. essential updates a friend go off a hot movie about the top of the hour on a coast fall wait that long just a couple minutes there's always the website i still don't believe i'll call a good. movie
