we're at the port of antwerp, in belgium. this place is said to be the number one choice for cocaine smugglers trying to get their drugs into europe. antwerp port has grown massively over the decades. there are now 160 kilometres of quayside where ships can be unloaded. millions of containers arrive each year from around the world, and it's a smuggler�*s dream. paul meyer was sentenced to 12 years in prison in 2007 for trafficking drugs. antwerp was his number one route into europe. when i think back now on that time and i say, "no, it was completely wrong what i did." 100%. now my punishment is done, and i show you that the port is very open. he can understand why this port has become the gateway to europe for cocaine. i tried also in hamburg, and we tried also in marseille. everything is much easier in antwerp, and everybody who is doing this kind of business, they know antwerp is easy and that's the place to do something. and i know people, they try also other places, but they always come back to antwerp. he takes us for a

the port is open, like what we did now. go inside, and all the information that you need to start something, you can see yourself. you have the truck drivers, you have the people who are working there. you have the name of the boat. and paying dockers for information to help his drugs get through was a vital part of the operation. there's so much money involved and so much profit. so there's enough money to pay people and, be honest, we are human. don't say and don't think that nobody is taking money. cocaine that's getting through the port of antwerp is now flooding the streets of the rest of europe. and we're off to meet one user who says it's easier than ever to get hold of the drug. this man, who we're calling matt, has been using cocaine for the past eight years. he says it's made his addiction worse. matt has already decided he will buy cocaine today and says he wants to show us just how easy and fast it is. at the promised time, matt's delivery arrives. so, you got it? and these deliveries are designed not to attract

and down through the executive team and then throughout our port. director forbes, commission they have done a good job of making sure the port team reflects not only the city but the people of san francisco and those who visit our water front >> the community. city and private cities working together we with bring the port back to the economic stimulus for people who live here. >> it is important that -- everyone have a role at the port of san francisco and everybody feels welcometelevision. >> in 1948 swensen's ice cream used to make ice cream in the navy and decided to open up an ice cream shop it it takes time for the parent to put money down and diane one of the managers at zen citizen in arena hills open and serve old-fashioned ice cream. >> over 20 years. >> yeah. >> had my own business i was a firefighter and came in- in 1969 her dad had ice cream and left here still the owner but shortly after um, in here became the inc. maker the manager and lead and branded the store from day to day and in the late 90s- was obvious choice he sold it to hi

today, we see the efficiency of these ports and investments in these ports are increasing, we see that terminals are being built there, and barges will be brought there, so it is actually developing, but we must also pay attention to the fact that the railway logistics to the danube ports today to some extent discriminates against these ports, yes, delivery to the black sea ports is several times cheaper than to the danube ports, and we have repeatedly emphasized at meetings with the ukrzalzal that infrastructure changes are needed make a special railway tariff for the danube ports. in this way, we will increase the volume of transportation, this will compensate for the actual costs of the railway and where to stimulate the improvement of the work of the dynasty of ports, the deepening of the danube and the work through these ports by transporting more grain. it is clear. thank you for joining the marathon and strange news , serhiy ivashchenko , the director of the ukrainian grain association, talked with us about the situation at the front, let's talk further, be patient and observe i

the port needs your service.e are at a transition point there have been opportunity along the way where people have come to try it negotiate. negotiating agreements or development agreement this is may or may not have seen the light of day. we have one now the wharf proposed. we will wait and see how it goes but seems to have a phenomenonal vision for revitalizing most important parts of san francisco. that has grown stale and fall had disreper se and the economics have in terms of the economic environment diminished. we want to give you an town to talk about the need for a vision for the port and the future of the port. and how the looking at public/private partnerships play an irrelevant in sustaining this jewel we have. it is the most competitive advantages as a city. >> yes, you mentioned the puc. than i have a 2 billion dollars budget. and things the port's budget is within 20 million it is so important and it is irrelevant a very small organization and financial low and with staff. when we work with others

andrew harding, bbc news, port sudan. uk evacuations from an air—strip near khartoum have now ended. in the last hour, another flight carrying british nationals fleeing sudan, landed back in the uk from cyprus, at stansted airport in essex. and an extra evacuation flight has been arranged from port sudan tomorrow. 0ur correspondent, sanchia berg is at the foreign office here in london. just give us more details about what we know about that flight potentially taking off tomorrow. we potentially taking off tomorrow. - understand it will be taking off tomorrow from port sudan international airport and anyone who wants to get on that flight has to go to the british evacuation handling centre at the airport, and this is the critical bit, before noon sudanese time tomorrow. so it is worth reminding people who is eligible to get on that flight. it is british nationals, they are dependents and non—british nationals currently working as clinicians within the nhs. the foreign office wouldn't tell me whether this was absolutely the

the port is open, like what we did now.n see yourself. you have the truck drivers, you have the people who are working there. you have the name of the boat. and paying dockers for information to help his drugs get through was a vital part of the operation. there's so much money involved and so much profit. so there's enough money to pay people and, be honest, we are human. don't say and don't think that nobody is taking money. cocaine that's getting through the port of antwerp is now flooding the streets of the rest of europe. and we're off to meet one user who says it's easier than ever to get hold of the drug. this man, who we're calling matt, has been using cocaine for the past eight years. he says it's made his addiction worse. matt has already decided he will buy cocaine today and says he wants to show us just how easy and fast it is. at the promised time, matt's delivery arrives. so, you got it? and these deliveries are designed not to attract the attention of the police. and when you're buying cocaine, you're giving

andrew harding, bbc news, port sudan.w has just arrived injeddah in saudi arabia, and gave us this update. as the fighting intensifies again in khartoum, people fleeing either north to egypt, but increasingly fleeing. quite a long journey. people taking 16 to 30 hours to get to the coast, to get to port sudan and then hoping to get on these. well, there's a range a flotilla, if you like, of warships, saudi arabian warships and other nationalities, ships. a lot of ferries as well. just ordinary passenger ferries which have been coming over here to jeddah. the saudis are making a big show of their humanitarian effort here. they're very keen to show that they are very invested in the humanitarian operation in sudan. and for those leaving, they are given a 30 day visa on arrival here in saudi arabia. but most countries when we came back, for instance, just this morning from a long trip across the sea, across the red sea to port sudan, when we came back with about 50 people, a range of nationalities, fundamentally, the battle

but it is playing an absolutely key role in this evacuation from port sudan.from where we are now, more than 200 nautical miles, and we will be heading that way shortly. that is one of the main routes for people fleeing. in their thousands trying to flee the fighting, especially as the end of this imperfect ceasefire nears. this is one of the major rescue routes here tojeddah on the red sea. lyse doucet. with more on this let's go to my colleague in the newsroom david wallace lockhart. options are running out for british citizens in sudan, aren't they? yes. citizens in sudan, aren't they? yes, the final flight — citizens in sudan, aren't they? yes, the final flight out _ citizens in sudan, aren't they? yes, the final flight out of— citizens in sudan, aren't they? 1&1: the final flight out of sudan for uk citizens will be leaving at 6pm uk time this evening. the reason the uk government has made that decision is they say down to the numbers coming forward to get these flights. a whitehall source earlier this morning are described the numbers to me as now being

let's get the latest, what is happening down there at the port?— there at the port?there at the port? things are getting much, much - there at the port? things are i getting much, much smoother, there at the port? things are - getting much, much smoother, as you would predict. there was a surge on friday, loads of schools and universities were breaking up and they were taking advantage of the first opportunity they had at easter for three years to get away on brakes, typically going skiing in the alps. so they all converged on dover and it was really first contact between post coded, post—brexit travel. also... contact between post coded, post-brexit travel. also... let's aet into post-brexit travel. also... let's get into that. — post-brexit travel. also... let's get into that, suella _ post-brexit travel. also... let's get into that, suella braverman| get into that, suella braverman talking about other issues that were behind it, but from your perspective, brexit, clearly, a significant issue? i perspective, brexit, clearly, a significant issue?— significant issue?

the so-called dry port.t is, uh, in addition it is 100 million cargo turnover and 1 million, a total of containers to the existing one. uh, it will be 250 million tons of cargo and 3 million containers, because this is dry debt. emphasis. vera is being designed by aport aurora. tell me your capabilities. and this is not a distant prospect. we also invite. it's all on the same side. uh, in september there will be the opening of the portal of a new modern port for 20 million ue, tons, cargo turnover, so we invite you to visit open this port can be remotely. this means that it’s nearby, it’s just there with a large stone all along the way and at the same time for these 20 million to the zvezda plant, then we are decently there and the dry port is nearby, and construction will be laid this year. you know, why everyone needs it, so that road transport, there uh, transported containers, loaded there, there for six months, two-part vehicles can fit there, and so on already. uh, siberia needs to be able to increase

a red sea crossing which will take us to port sudan, to sudan's largest port, where hundreds, thousandsbrits, trying to find any boat which will take them to safety. it's a long passage, it's an exhausting passage, but it is a passage to safety and an exit from this devastating war, and so we're on this warship to basically report on the evacuation effort as it will unfold, and will unfold for some to come in port sudan. there has been another mass shooting in the united states. police in texas say five people including an eight—year—old child have been killed in a shooting at a house in a town called cleveland. 0fficials killed in a shooting at a house in a town called cleveland. officials say three of the dead were found lying on top of two surviving children in a bedroom of the house. the suspected shooter is a mexican man and with an assault rifle. he is still on the run. the local sheriff told reporters what was known about the shooting. it all started tonight when, evidently, he stepped out of his house, shot his rifle into the ground, up into the air, he just shot his rifle, and

the port huron statement has really fabulous opening, very line. it says, we are people of this generation bread and at least modest comfort housed in universities looking to the world we inherit and i thought your posts were really good in identifying that one thing that we see from those students is that they are coming into some kind of awareness of their situation. they're coming into awareness not only of being comfort in, comfort at a university, right in their lifestyle, but also the paradoxes that are going on american society. right? they're thinking the civil rights movement that's happening at that time. they're thinking about the cold. right. and the threat of the bomb, trying to think of some other things. but these the thinking about, the war, the end to the vietnam had not started here in the us it's they're starting to consider that issue as well and that is making them begin to see that there are these inequities happening in their in society that. they don't necessarily experience themselves and they find a contradiction to all of

here on this ship is a drive called port. otherwise.it's stored and fatty natural gas on the water and is intended for shipment to sea vessels by the board method. the port lng carrier is an integral part of the complex for the production, storage and shipment of liquefied natural gas before becoming a floating storage facility with a capacity of 138,000 m³. st. petersburg tanker has undergone a deep modernization. the choice of location is due precisely to the possibility of large ships calling. here , the most important question is the approach of large ships, which have up to 13 m of draft, so here they specially chose the deepest place where you can make a berth, they specially made the bottom dredging works up to 15 m increased the depth so that lng could come here without problems today it is becoming an increasingly popular type of fuel and in order to fill as many as possible, for example, sea transport, there are special ships, bunkerers. such as dmitry mendeleev, he also fills his tanks side-to-side from the port then goes to

the hms lancaster, there in the port just off the port, is not there to evacuate citizens easier.ple in the port of sudan at the moment are being denied options to get out safely. which, of course, is frustrating. we will see if we can make contact with jerry again shortly. several international aid groups are deeply concerned aut the crisis and the growing impact in neighboring countries. and also, of course, in southern sudan. joining me from juba is marie helen vernie they u.n. refugee representative in south sudan. thank you for being with us. what changes have you seen in the last 72 hours. >> in the past 72 hours we have really started to see a lot of people arriving in south sudan at the border. it is a mix of people. south sudanese refugees living in sudan coming back. also, sudanese people fleeing into south sudan. and a number of other ethiopian and eritrean refugees in sudan now moving into south sudan. we have really seen numbers going from 900 monday to more than 3600 today. arriving in a part of south sudan that is extremely remote and extremely difficult. it has, at

but spare a thought for those who have not even got as far as the port.earby service station when their coach driver reached his daily driving limit. there's no toilet roll. they're running low on food. there's coaches constantly arriving. young children here from scouts, cubs. there's no one here to help. there's no security. there's nothing. there are people on the floor sleeping, people sat everywhere. it's just chaotic. tonight, the backlog is finally clearing, but it has been another bruising day for passengers and the port. bosses say as soon as they get through this weekend, the inquest into what went wrong can begin. water companies could face unlimited fines, for discharging sewage into england's waterways. new figures from the environment agency, suggest there was an average of 825 sewage spills a day, last year. 0ur political correspondent, ione wells has more details. raw, untreated sewage, pumped into rivers, lakes, streams and the sea. this happened more than 300,000 times in england last year. that's more than 800 times a day. water compani

this is one example, air pollution around ports. folks that live near ports no air pollution can be extreme. all trucks and all vehicles moving goods in and out of ports and on the backs of ships are polluting the air significantly. the inflation reduction act includes major investments in adopting clean heavy duty trucks and clean port increment. folks it will make a real -- clean port equal and. folks, will make a real difference for those living near ports. investing in air-quality centers and community is near factories. so people that live near them will know the risk in the area, we know, historically redline communities are hotter because there is more pavement. fewer trees, we are planting millions of new trees to cool down our city streets. we are making major investments in clean energy in disadvantaged committees, lower and -- lowering energy cost in creating jobs. she was in houston where we are building a solar farm on the site of a former landfill right in the middle of the neighborhood. another example that's good for
