the the business dw news line from balance. a major risk to operation is on the way in the united states, the city of baltimore, a cargo ship crashed into a bridge, causing it to collapse, emergency responders say that trying to reach several people in the water. also coming off the bridge is called foot julia and a socialist expedition to the us on hope. the high colton london rules that the big, which he leads found to cannot be sent to the us are less authorities that guarantee his rights will be protected. and that he will not face the death penalty

thus rushes flooded. it boots in acknowledge this radical islam is carried out. friday's attack on the most car concept hole. what is this that you cry and could still play the role the i'm gonna have those as well come to the program. it's a major search and rescue operation is underway in the united states after 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 been rescued, one of whom is in critical condition. several others are still missing. maryland. gov and it weighs more, said the ship reported losing pilot just before the crash. and that it was made and made a coal that allows authorities to limit the traffic across the bridge. he added that a preliminary investigation suggested the crash was an accident and that there was

no evidence of a terrorist attack. and just to give you a sense of the scale of this, the front of scope, key bridge was 2.6 kilometers long with 4 legs move and 11000000 vehicles use that every year. and that is a major part of the road network, off the us east coast officials and both the most say this is still very much an active search and rescue operation. and here's how events unfolded last night. 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 flagged container ships. it 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 department. as well as multiple marine assets from around the region. there was a resource. 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. seem to work in partnership with every part of government to do everything we can to get us to 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. while i live, i spoke with 2 w correspondent, janelle de milan, who was at the scene of the incident. 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 integral integrity issues off the further down this road that we go that fort, 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 to be. 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 thanking the rescue workers. he did say that this was very much still a live situation. we're talking about

a rescue operation for the vehicles that were driving over the road and that when 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 light here. this really is a place where members of the community, the locals, they go down to the harbor, they watch the cargo ships go buy. some of them said that they know somebody was 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 course there are going to be others to dates 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. 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 and clarified questions. this is an ongoing investigation or correspondence and help them allow that reporting from the scene in baltimore. thank you very much. and so is around now. well, there is growing and go over the un security council's decision to posit resolution, demanding an immediate cease 5 and gaza, for the mazda and holy month of ramadan, off to vetoing free previous efforts. the united states did not block visits it and responds. israel's private is canceled plans to send a high level delegation to washington. the un resolution also calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, still being held by almost the terror group behind the october 7th attacks of the drugs. this is, there is of the, the old i'm milestone moment at the united nations security council. 14 nations voted in favor of the resolution calling for a c spy,

and johnson. for the 1st time, the united states refrain from the towing the agreement in steed abstaining to ensure directly opposing a request from israel not to do so. this resolution rightly acknowledges that during the month of ramadan, we must resubmit to peace. a mouse can do that by accepting the deal on the table. a cease fire can begin immediately with the release of the 1st hostage. and so we must put pressure on him us to do just that. is rails planned invasion of rough is causing major concerns for the us? it's biggest ally and it's really delegation was due to travel to washington this week to discuss alternatives. but it's really prime minister benjamin nation. yeah

. who cooled off the trip after the security council's decision? and as well as defense minister you of garland. oh, really in the us shows no signs of acknowledging the ceasefire. cool. hope will solve it. we have more right to adopt of war and god until the return all of the hostages home based off, you do not reach it clear on the size of the decision and gaza. and they bring us closer to war. the know the color of middle hop on me cellphone. in john's, the security council vote for some hope to meaning. the other sparks, the crucial step towards halting israel's actions on the us must leverage all of its resources and assets. both the primary and ultimate advocate for israel, of other homes, while the seas 5 voted foot hope and gaza without israel support, it may end up being a symbolic g ste. yeah. rather than a practical solution for pace of a lot of this that's uh,

bring in our correspondence, rebecca, which is interest. and then rebecca, always seeing a shift here and us policy towards the israel at the un as well. this is definitely being seen by many people here at home and abroad. get hot as a, as a, a sort of a deterioration in the relationship if you will. not so much, at least not a broad note from what b u. s. is saying as a policy shift, although that is something that the government, he's certainly benjamin netanyahu is trying to create that sense and that feeling now the whitehouse has said that that is not the case that they still stand by israel and that they policy towards israel hasn't changed, but there's no doubt that the decision by the us to, to rather than veto, to abstain from the un security council vote definitely signifies it not a policy shift. and perhaps a slap on the wrist of warning to israel that they will be consequences if you

don't not do as we say. of course, of us have been saying for many, many months that they're not trying to tell as well how to handle things. but if they don't take advice and if they don't listen and act in a diplomatic mounted towards the closest ally, that of course they will be consequences. and that is what we may be starting to see play out from the us voters in the us. and domestically those, this is being largely seen as benjamin at yahoo, yahoo, taking this and trying to use this as a, to show a big political risk of his own domestic post purposes. so we're going to be seeing in the days and weeks ahead. how this will play out. how is rel, where we act, and then how the us will, counsellor react. now it says defense minister gallon is in washington a photo. so what are you hearing about those meetings? so that was already plans. that was a gallant was already in the us when in a security council voted that was not one of the, the trips that was cancelled. and now the deck delegation that was suppose to be

heading off this week was subsequently cancelled in the wake of that voice. now the talks it got on and having with his counterpart, lloyd austin, they've just begun. he's already met with the secretary of state anthony thinking, and they're going much as expected much as planned. and secretary clinton has said all the his offices said that those talks have happened as usual. and of course, the us has put forward what it sees as a better way forward. we've been dealing with the that southern city of ruffled when more than a 1000000 palestinians. now sheltering a rather than to go in and widen the of the ground operation, which is what israel has determined to do. now, sofa of the is there, a government has been sticking to its own plans despite repeated us goals for more risk. trained, washington has repeatedly again, as you said, against the ground defenses in rough. what are the chances that as well we'll back off or what was that at this stage?

suddenly, from the rhetoric we're hearing from israel, that's really unlikely. they've been saying that's been steadfast in their attitude towards they saying that they have no option that they have to go into rough or if they want to succeed and then military games to eliminate homos and to retrieve importantly, get back that hostages. but you know, as, as i've been saying that the us has been calling for them not to do that. and now we are starting to see a risk, small risk, perhaps a, a diplomatic risk in this very close relationship between israel and the us. but israel certainly seeming very determined to push forward whether or not they be able to do it without us support. and they don't, they haven't yet not got us support. and then they are starting to see that play out. so whether or not they are going to be able to go into ross or in the way that they hoped, remains to be seen, get how they commit to say reporting from to us and then thank you.

now let's have a look at some of the other stories making headlines. japan is approved plans to sell next generation find subjects to other countries. the aircraft is currently being developed alongside britain. it today and is expected to be ready by 2035. the decision to allow exposure to is tokyo's late to step away from its pacifist principles adopted at the end of the 2nd world war. the federal agents in the us of rated homes in los angeles belonging to the rapids on duty combs. the operation is part of a sex trafficking investigation by authorities in the old building. the hip hop montville is also facing several lawsuits. overlap sexual abuses supports as of the sites kremlin critic i would say novel. and you have gathered that his grace sites to mock 40 days since his death. hundreds joined. of all these parents to lay flowers and pay their respects the day is important and all the adults christian tradition believes to be the day that the soul departs us. and rushes president

vladimir putin as the dollars for the 1st time. that radical islam is carried on fridays attack on accounts of holiday and moscow that kills more than a $130.00 people. full men from cheapest on have now been charged with carrying out an act of terrorism after appearing for a most cold pools on sunday. in the wake of the massacre booting excuse to crane of being involved, even as a bronze with a so called as nomic state claim to be forced responsible for the results and remarks that the claim that meets important set the attack intended to so panic among russians me, his name is sabrina. we know the crime was committed by radical islam is who follow in ideology, but it's so i'll make what it has been fighting for centuries. you could maybe jim douglas, we're also seeing that united states has been using various channels to convince the satellites and other countries. and you know, i'm still for you that according to that intelligence you,

there's nor for yourself deep in the better that in most schools, we still could always do it. uh, plug it back was commented by islam is from the islamic state organization by sea. and thing is us, which is bind in russia, was that we know who committed this crime against russia. and this people with the do you want to know who ordered it? nothing to, to switch those out. gosh. and the area i also did obviously, eastern europe added to rome and gone to ranko whether it was dangerous that most goes now suggesting that key force behind the attack. well, yes, it is dangerous. it's important to say that we haven't seen any evidence supporting the claim the 2 crane had anything to do with it. so, um, the, the only remarks of letting me put you in and some of his, uh, other russian officials had it that they were heading towards ukraine. but those people um, who are suspected um, uh, towers. uh, could also be heading towards barrows, the neighboring uh,

former soviet republics. so, no hard evidence of this so far. and it's dangerous because let's look at what, what's, what's happening in russia in it. so what's the background? so to say, so the attack happened a few days off to the presidential election and russians at that point in the want it as expected and has no free hand. it's not that he had to worry about the result, but still, he now is free maybe to, to some more radical moves against ukraine, but also internally in russia itself. and it also happens after we've seen an escalation on the ukrainian or russian border with some russian fighters who are fighting on the crying inside and to the neighboring um, originals belgrade and the russian state. look, we looked, we conduct point. so i'm like an important, as well as head of state, look to me because he couldn't protect the russian citizens. and it is dangerous because he now could try to show that he's not a week now,

is that what he's trying to achieve with these comments? suggesting that he is not weak and now they ask things under control and also has he done this type of thing before as well? i can't remember of a senior. this is a similar situation before. at least on most on the scale of to such a motorist. attack with over a 100 casualties. net, i think internally for russia itself, who's trying to distract public opinion from the idea that a, the russian secret service system actually failed to protect russian people. because there was a warning with all of us by the united states just a few days before the attack that such an attack would happen. it specifically mentioned that an attack could be targeting a concept. then he's also trying to distract attention probably from the, the anger of russian citizens towards migrants. and this is a very old uh,

old issue for russia. so there war crashes uh, between russians, uh, russian people and migrants from central asia from, from a storage public before. and this is something very dangerous for us for itself being tested, belies from the inside. so there is, there is, um, probably a point there. and of course, he's trying to direct old negative emotions by the russian people towards ukraine, a country that he's waging a war, a big war for over 2 years now. through the eastern europe, it is a roman country rancor. the thank you very much. rahman a boot just called says, look, he leeks found a julian, a sauce cannot immediately be extradited to the united states. high court judges say they want further assurances about what will happen to us fails to provide those assurances over the next 3 weeks. because will give us of permission to appeal extradition on grounds, including breach of freedom of expression. and because he might receive the

desperate death penalty. and the i also w as a child that shows them feelings under to tell us more about the high quotes decision. as i was put, today's decision into a little bit of context had says the royce, to an appeal, a final appeal for june, and it's always 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, what his going to say. he faces a 175 years in prison. something that his wife says would have been tantamount to a death sentence. now instead, today what we've had is something of a delay on that decision, as you said, the judges and said that they are taking assurances on several points from the us, including on free speech protections. and that judy and assault is wanting to face the death penalty of extra jointed and convicted us as 3 weeks to mind those

insurances, and if it fails to do so, it was in on school appeal time. indeed. go ahead. now this is something of a partial victory for julian assault is clearly his supporters would have liked to have seen that full appeal granted 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 and this legal possible child would 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 plan for his release, his health is in decline mentally and physically. his life is a risk every single day he stays in prison. and if he is extradited, he will die. but it's not just about him being expedited. should julian should never have been put in prison in the 1st place from the united nations special rockport, her on torture, also called for the us to drop its case. i am very worried about mr. sanchez health, the, his ability to survive the expedition and the real likelihood of suicide. i'm worried about the conditions of detention in the united states, where they use solitary confinement on a regular basis, and that this would cause irreparable harm to mr. sanders, as almost faces, significant legal danger in the u. s. a prison sentence up to

a 175 years. he's been a wanted man since 2010. after his whistle blowing for him, we can leaks published classified us army materials supplied by an intelligence analysts. delete containing documents and video footage from the wars enough can a stand interact some of the footage with shocking, seemingly implicating us troops and possible war crimes. i believe that if those 2 things were law for under the rules of engagement, when the rules of engagement are wrong, deeply wrong. as for your com, any applauded assault 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 leaves were nothing short of treason. and the solace of the 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 his 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 rest of the songs. his supporters say that the us effort to extradite him is an attack on free speech itself. this case 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 from 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, a soldier's case has divided people ever since his legal saga started me. and

that's how it will do a saw as a supporters a say in reaction to this or what his wife he had and not report dash the account side court 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 said she described to me in a song as a physical prisoner and a gentleman who exposed us wrong. do they know that some new facts by a number of books including amnesty international and reported without bold as they say that gentleness around the world should be concerned by this case. the us, on the other hand, say that julian, his on his options, went beyond journalism. they said he was to, this thing's choosing and indiscriminately publishing classified documents, something that they say put lives at risk sales bills that the reporting from london. thank you john. let's your what cindy wu, this is

a reminder of our top story. united states at least 6 people are still missing of the city of baltimore, maryland. after a cargo ship crashed into the bridge, causing the structure to collapse, maryland's golf and upset the ship revolted, losing prob, be full of the cracks. he added as an initial investigation suggested, it was an accident. there was no credible evidence that pointed to an act of terror and that bridge collapse in the us city of boats and mobiles also be the focus in our special off dw, the show with your question. take center stage door and my colleagues feel gamble and all youtube china on the top of the hour. and we put your questions to experts and correspondence invalid to stop by and join the conversation gab office in berlin from me and the team here. thanks for
