the, the, this is the, the news lot from bill in a major risk. fuel formation is underway. the united states city of baltimore, a cargo ship crashed into a major bridge, causing it to collapse, emergency respond to say they are trying to reach several people still in the water . also coming off the bridges cause boats. julian, a sergeant's expedition to the united states on hope. the high cold in london rules that the, which he makes found, it cannot be sent to the us unless authorities that guarantee his rights will be protected, that he will not face the desktop. the

i'm gonna have that with is welcome to the program. i may just search and rescue operation is underway in the united states for a cargo ship crashed into a bridge in baltimore, maryland, causing it to collapse. several vehicles were on the bridge at the time. the fire department says 2 people have now been rescues. one of whom is in critical condition, several others are still missing. maryland governor westmore said the ship reported losing power just before the crash and that it made it made a coal that allowed authorities to at least the limits traffic across the bridge. the either the preliminary investigation suggested crash was an accident, and that there was no credible evidence of a possible terrorist attack us. and just to give you a sense of the scale,

steve francis scope t bridge was 2.6 kilometers long, with 4 lanes more than 11000000 vehicles use it every year. and it is a major part of the road network on the us east coast. officials in baltimore say this is still very much an active search and rescue operation. here's how events unfolded. this is the moment when the francis scott key bridge and baltimore came down, captured on a live web feet. the bridge was hit by a single poor flight container ships had struck one of the supporting pillars at 1 30 am. baltimore's fire department says it's responding to a mass casualty incident. several people are believed to be in the water along with multiple vehicles. the fire chief and mayor said they were bringing as many resources as they could, as well as the baltimore police departments, as well as multiple marine assets from around the region. we have multiple

resources. we are still very much in an active search and rescue. pause at this point and we will continue to be for some time. we have to be thinking about families and people. folks who we have to try to find and say, this is what our focus should be on right now. seems to work in partnership with every part of government to do everything we can to get us through the other side of this trash. meanwhile, cold water temperatures in the area mean that rescue workers must race against time to save anyone who fell in from hypothermia. we can all go straight to both mobile correspondence and ultimately understanding by for us to know you on near the scene of the incidents. what's the legs? indeed gerhard, just to let you know a little bit about where we are. we're standing at the northern side of the bridge

. this has been the area assigned by local officials where they have allowed media to gather. we're not allowed to go any further because other are afraid of structural integrity, integrity, issues of the further down this road that we go, that perhaps you can see a little bit of the scene behind me. you can see the bridge and how it just stops in mid air as the rest of the bridge used to be. there is no longer there since the collapse and the cargo ship that is stuck into that bridge after it collided. so just just to point again in that direction and highlight that scene behind me. so this is also an area where a governor westmore stopped by earlier the governor of maryland. that is to give updates on the situation. he started by thinking the rescue workers. he did say that this was very much still a live situation and we're talking about a rescue operation for the vehicles that were driving over the road. and that went to the water. we're talking about

a rescue operation for the workers who were conducting road repair on the ridge. about 6 of them are still on accounted for. and uh, earlier i was talking to some members of the community and they told me that, you know, the, the harbor and the cargo ships, they're a very big feature of life here. this really is a place where the members of the community, the local is they go down to the harbor, they watched the cargo ships go buy. some of them said that they know somebody who has been affected or was seen at the accident. earlier. i spoke to someone who said that her son just drove off the bridge 5 minutes before the accident happened, and she was very emotional at just how close her family had come to tragedy. but of course, there are going to be others today that aren't going to be as lucky as she was. and that is something that the community here is very much focused on today. so any indications from officials on what could have caused the crash?

well like i said earlier, we heard from governor westmore in his last update. uh, he was quick to say that there was no indication that this was a planned attack or that it was terrorism related. it really does seem to have been an accident where the ship reportedly lost the propulsion. they had lost control of the vessel. they had alerted officials of their loss of control and that a collision was going to be possible from that point on. that also aligns with earlier reports that even before the ship was heading under the bridge. it had already been of course, and you can see it from some of the footage of the accident where the ship all seems to be headed to uh under an unusual part of the bridge part where it normally would not pass. but of course, there are still a lot of un clarified questions, so this is an ongoing investigation all correspondence and all of them allow that

reporting from the scene in baltimore. thank you very much. that's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today is what else? prime minister has cancel plans to send the delegation to washington off to the us . decided not to block. are you into security council resolution? seems that demanded an immediate cease fire in gaza. washington have vetoed 3 previous resolutions. the resolution also do monthly immediate release fall hostage is still being held for hamas. they have a group. behind zip code is 76 out the process, the president document futon as acknowledged for the 1st time. then the radical islam is carried out. friday's attack on the concert holding the most calm, more than 100. and so 2 people were killed, full man has now been charged with terrorism. booting continues to the fuse ukraine of still being involved in the attack. japan has approve plans to sell next

generation fights objects to other countries. the aircraft is currently being developed alongside britain and it's late and is expected to be ready by 20. so to 5, the decision to explore this to he was late to step away from its pacifist principles adopted at the end of world war 2. a british code says we can each found a julian. a saws cannot immediately be expedited to the united states to face as spin us charges that high court judges say they want further assurance that is about what will happen to them. if the us fails to provide those assurances over the next 3 weeks. the goal is to give a soft permission to appeal expedition on grounds, including breach of freedom of expression, and because he might receive the death penalty. and the i spoke to the w as a child of chelsea pill in london. and also to tell us more about the high quotes

decision as i was put, today's decision into a little bit of context have says the rights to an appeal of final appeal would you need as long as been rejected today? that would have been the end of the legal road here for him in the u. k. and would have paid the way for his expedition to the us for his support to say he faces a 175 years in prison. something that his wife says would have been tense amounts to a death sentence. now instead, today what we've had is something of a delay on that decision. as you said, that the judges and said that they all taking assurance is on several points from the us, including on free speech protections, and that julian is always going to face the death penalty of extra jointed and convicted of the us as 3 weeks to my there is insurance isn't if it fails to do so, then a full appeal can indeed go ahead. now this is something of

a partial victory full julian. assault is clearly his supporters would have liked to have seen that full appeal grunted today. but what the judges did say was that he has a legitimate prospects with success on 3 of the 9 grounds for appeal. so while it's more of a wait, there is a still clearly some ways to go in this nickel, bathroom child and stay with us. please, we'll come back to you in a minute after we are taking a closer look at assault as a situation because he had his expedition or confirmed in 2021, but has continued to fight against the ruling from his present cell in london. and those closest to him, fear this could be his final legal challenge to february 2020 for a hearing on julian massages appeal of his extradition to the us. his wife pled for his release, his health is in decline, mentally and physically. his life is miss. every single day he stays in prison.

and if he is extradited, he will die. but it's not just about to be expedited to julian should never have been put in prison in the 1st place in the united nations special rockport, her on torture, also called for the us to drop it's case i am very worried about mr. sanchez health . the, he's the ability to survive the extradition and the real likelihood of suicide. i'm worried about the conditions of detention in the united states, where they use solid free confinement on a regular basis, and that this would cause irreparable harm to mr. sanders, as all space is significant legal danger in the u. s. a prison settings up to a 175 years. he's been a wanted man since 2010. after his whistle blowing for him, leaky leaks published classified us army materials supplied by an intelligence. analysts delete contain documents and video footage from the wars,

enough canister and interact. some of the footage with shocking, seemingly implicating us troops impossible war crimes. i believe that if those 2 things will fall under the rules of engagement when the rules of engagement are wrong, deeply wrong as well, you'll come any applauded a song as fearlessness and shedding light on the murky side of armed conflict. he was showered with awards and voted readers' choice for times person of the year and 2010 for many others. the leaks were nothing short of treason, and the saul is a dangerous enemy of the state. in november 2010 swedish authorities issued an arrest warrant for assault. after 2 women accused of sexual assault and rape, he lost the legal battle to fight extradition to sweden, while on bail assault refuge in london,

ecuadorian embassy. it became as home for the next 7 years, but in 2019 acro doors, new governments have enough of its controversial embassy lodger. police were invited in under arrest that as long as the porters say that the us effort to extradite him is an attack on free speech itself. the space has alarming implications for journalism and trust. freedom around the world, not least of all as he would be. the 1st publisher tried under the us espionage act which lots of public interest defense. we would add some reporters without borders that there should be a political solution, but that it must involve no further time in prison. for julian, in any country, a warrior for press, freedom or a careless betrayer of sensitive secrets. as long as his case has divided people ever since his legal saga started me and that's how it will do a saw as a support as a say and reaction to this as well. his wife, he had not report that's the account side court to sit today very clearly just made

off to that decision, she just said. so she was astonished. she said the entire case has been shameful. a shame on every democracy. she says she described to me in a song as a political prisoner and a journalist who exposed us wrong. do they know that some new facts by number of books, including amnesty international. and the report is, without bold as they say that jones, around the world should be concerned by this case. the us, on the other hand, say that julian, a song has options when he owns a job, isn't they said he was to, there's things tooling and indiscriminately publishing classified documents, something that they say put lives at risk sales bills that the reporting from london. thank you, john. it's under reminder of our top story in the us at least 6 people are still missing. of the city of baltimore maryland. dr. cargo ship crashed into the major bridge causing destruction to collapse. marilyn's governess set the

ship reported losing power before the trucks. added that an initial investigation suggested it was an accident and there was no credible evidence of the territories . and that's it from that me and the new scene for now i have an update for you at the top of the on the $1.00 to $2.00. what it's in just a 100 days my power is going to be much of my family. what cute hours this age and i'm on a journey to find out about the resort. the 19 are to put you on the side to see if the rhonda, my name is some way to shimmer, i'm afraid it makes sweet shaming history out documentary stuff. april 6th on dw. okay, that's about as to transfer. can you hear me? that's good.
