the, the, you're watching due to the new coming to live from berlin. authorities to suspend their search for 6 people presumed dead after the baltimore bridge collapse. the workers were on the francis scott key bridge when a packed cargo ship slammed into the structure blocking a major us ports. also on our show today, the issue of abortion rights returns to the us supreme court. during arguments, a majority of the courts of justice is appears skeptical that a group of anti abortion doctors have the legal standing to challenge the approval of a widely used drugs. and hundreds of supporters of alexi and of all need gather at

his grades to mark 40 days since his death the kremlin critic and died and a siberian labour kept in february the k. richardson. thank you very much for joining us in the united states. a huge search and rescue mission to find 6 missing workers after a major bridge collapse has now been suspended. authorities and balls more believe there is no hope of finding them a life. the francis scott key bridge came down after being rammed by a pot container ship after it lost power on tuesday morning. the federal government has now promised money to rebuild the bridge, a heartbreaking end to a search for survivors. after nearly a day of searching for 6 missing people who were on the bridge of the time,

it collapsed all storage. she said they no longer had hope of finding anyone alive based on the length of time that we've gone in the search, the extensive search efforts that we put into it, the water temperature, that at this point, we do not believe that we're gonna find any of these individuals still alive. so this evening at about 730, we're going to suspend the axis search and rescue efforts. this for change of the francis scott key bridge being hit by a cargo ship shows just how quickly the bridge collapsed. that's raise questions about its structural integrity and re ignited fee is about the safety of us infrastructure as a whole. many bridges across the country are considered to be in bad condition. but maryland governor west small emphasize to the not many bridges could be expected to whether a hit from a $95000.00 ton congress ship. this is an unprecedented situation, right,

where you have you shipped in a of a cargo mass that large moving at that speed. it's difficult to understand what infrastructure could have taken that level of that level of it. and that level of directed the federal government has promised to cover the full cost of rebuilding the bridge, no matter how expensive. but it has warned, it's likely to have a major impact on supply chains threatening to disrupt supplies from cause to shoot up. and the pulse of baltimore is cage's shipping on the us east coast. and the collapse bridge will likely create traffic jams for months or even used to come. professor helen samson from cardiff university has studied the shipping industry since 1999. and he told us more about what happens when a container ship suddenly loses power and a busy harbor is obviously you absolutely critical situation is very,

very dangerous. the occurrence and winds forces that moves the vessel when you don't have any control over it yourself. and the vessels i believe from things i've read, i believe it was going into about 8 notes, which is either slow as in the num, the full speed of the vessel. but it's still in a, provides the best. so with a fair amount of inertia, makes it very slow to, to, to, to stop or change direction even bringing up some control. so you're into emergency procedures such as dropping on, cuz i believe the vessel, my time to drop to on. cuz for more than i've read, but unfortunately it, it was too late to stop it from actually going into the, the bridge itself. so, so this the 1st then would have been into a situation whether major mediately over, say, very conscious of the catastrophic damage has been done. they would be wanting to assess the integrity of the how to check who on board was safe,

check that one on global safe. i believe that was the case and on this occasion and switch it to think about the vessel stability of the congo stability and, and you know, to touch it to start to be concerned about issues around pollution control. and so the kinds of some short term issues that require very immediate attention and action would have, would have been taking place to. okay, let's turn our attention now to some other stories. making news around the world's police have clashed with hundreds of demonstrators outside the is really embassy. and jordan. protestors have tried for 3 days to blockade. the building and the capitol of mont, in response to the war in gaza. they are also calling on the jordanian government to end all agreements and cooperation with israel. mexico was battling dozens of forest fires, mostly concentrated in the south east of the country. so i'm a 4000 firefighters are working to put out the blazes,

which has been aided by strong winds and high temperatures, reaching 40 degrees celsius. brazil and france have launched an investment program to protect the amazon rain forest in brazil and neighboring piano. the $1000000000.00 euro scheme includes private and public funding over a 4 year period. the 2 countries, the pledge to work together to stop amazon deforestation by 2030. the columbia navy says it has seized 3 tons of cocaine. after a speed boat chase and the caribbean, 6 men on the boat were arrested when it was stopped here. the island of san andreas authorities say it is the biggest cocaine seizure this year with a st. value of $113000000.00 us dollars. the flash point issue of abortion rights has returned to the united states top course. supreme court judges have forgotten hearing arguments about whether the drug at mr. prestone, it should be more tightly restricted. the outcome could affect abortion access for

millions, but a majority of the courts and judges if you're skeptical about the legal standing of the challenge. a little pills giant stakes. a legal battle over access to mr. prestone or commonly used drug to and pregnancies has made its way to the supreme court on the one side, a group of anti abortion organizations. and on the other, the food and drug administration. a little under 2 years after the supreme court here behind me, overturn roe vs wade ruling that abortion is no longer a fundamental right in the us. the issue is set to take center stage here. yet again, whatever this court ends up deciding will have profound implications on abortion, access, the drug approval process, and the already explosive political discourse around reproductive rights. so court has to decide whether the food and drug administration acted unlawfully when it loosened regulations around mr. prestone. so use without entire force and activist

thing safety issues were overlooked. but medication abortion makes up nearly 2 thirds of all abortions in the west. and nearly 6000000 women have used a drug since it's approval and the year 2000 with serious side effects being extremely rare. reproductive rights, campaigners fear that a move to limit access to mr. prestone is a step on the way to a republican lead national abortion band. it is absolutely a slippery slope. i like to emphasize this time and time again is that over 70 percent of people united states once the right to decide on their reproductive health. and that definitely aligns with the access to abortion. and so i think it comes down to the fact that while there is a majority in this country, that support reproductive health and support rich reproductive rights. we have an agenda that is being driven by a small minority that is very well funded. that is politically very well established and making moves not only nationally,

but also at the state level to overturn and undermine the will of the people. a decision from the supreme court is expected by the end of june, a few months ahead of the general election, where few dispute the reproductive rights will be on the ballot as supporters of the late kremlin critic alec saint, a volume you have gathered at his grave sight to mark 40 days since his death, hundreds drawings, nevada and his parents to lay flowers and pay their respects of only supporters of blame the kremlin for his death, something it automatically denies. the pain the respects. under the watchful eyes of special security forces. alexa, nevada, in his family, friends and supporters here of the symmetry and most go, once again, especially for the things you so much for your support because it's only your

support that health side 0. thank you. the by the mother of now buying this. why said that she received the full scott from alexi, in which he congratulated her on her birth date. she said the postcard had been sent on the day. he was pronounced that it was sent on february 16. if i'm there with more woman tender words than i have ever received from anybody in my life, something else go, what was the noble prize swimming edits to me? tremble. ra ta was also among those who came to pay their respects. people, affairs, backgrounds and agents. but oh, very similar in the grief below which he was very charismatic. he could lead people to lift people up. there are no people of this level. i think

nothing will change and rush here until the government changes and it's not going to change this is a heavy loss for normal people who wants happiness for the country and the children for people who want to stay here. unfortunately, a state has never valued a decent good people and does not tolerate opinions other than its own. on union also to ex christians believe that at the end of the 40 days off to a person dies, the soul finally departs from this world. but it seems that here on earth, nobody of me is 2 very present and you

report from a german charity is sounding the alarm about the countries a stubbornly high poverty rate. the report found that more than 14000000 people are living below the poverty line, including a record number of children. our next report looks at a food bank here in berlin. people lined up here for fruit, which doubles and other groceries every monday, the food estimated and the stuff, mainly volunteers, the design. i said to myself, imagine to me and stake. that's not normally here. let me skip this, but if it is, i'll take it. i'll go from there. yeah. right now has to make due on the monthly pens and of 400 euros without the support of the food think he couldn't make ends meet. it's also the same for an increasing number of families. more than one and 5 children in germany is affected by poverty.

it helps us financially to get our food here. everything is getting more expensive and we can afford less. that's why we're here to get food. compared to grocery stores, the prices here are a bar game or new one year old covers it. but for some, it's still hard to come. mice you've been, the hardest part was getting myself to go to the food bank. i am ashamed of it. 57 year old, my ts and unders lopez was forced into early retirement after suffering a hot tech he's been unemployed, disputed 92 shot. it takes up psychological told if i developed mental health problems and i went to the doctor because i couldn't get over it and no poverty effect. several segments of society says ok, schneider, the head of the social well as a group that release the report. so i'm actually to presume that will be if you

want to generalize it, then you'd have to say pension as a pool. and 2 thirds of people considered pool, a state of working and about 20 percent of children, those to best lease out groups that you've got to take care of. if you actually want to come back to the conclusion that the group says politicians need to take action, they should increase the minimum wage to 15 euros per hour, introduce and minimum pension and basic type of insurance. what any of that will happen remains uncertain, making the safety net of to charities and food things, not just helpful, but the bible. well, police in south korea responded to an unusual call on tuesday. authorities were alerted after an ostrich was reported to be on the loose in the middle of morning traffic and sung themselves of sole police eventually managed to corner and capture the bird which had escaped from the local zoo staff. say the ostrich had recently

lost his own weight on stranger friends. and that is your news update at this hour. i'm quite richardson in berlin for me on the whole team here. thank you so much for watching the questions. categories or thoughts say what the .
