about the port... plenty of time to talk about that. about the port. . ._ about the port...he port. . . inaudible president biden leaving - about the port... inaudible| president biden leaving after about the port... inaudible - president biden leaving after the remarks about the collapse of the bridge and you heard him say that the federal government is going to pay the entire cost of rebuilding that bridge in baltimore and he stressed its economic importance and how the port handles 850,000 vehicles that go through there every year 15,000 jobs depend on the port and on the bridge and he said we are going to move heaven and earth to get that bridge rebuilt as soon as possible and we are not leaving until the job possible and we are not leaving until thejob is done, he said. the federal government will pay for the entirety of the reconstruction of that bridge. he also talked about it as a terrible accident and the president said he had been over the bridge himself many times and that officials had been working together in the aftermath of the tragedy and he said the search a

the port is here.imore is a major hub for automakers, and that's just cars, and we are also talking about containers. there is no doubt that this will have a serious and long-term impact on supply chains. the francy scott key bridge spans the posco river, which leads to the port of baltimore, the main shipping area on the east coast. traffic in the area is at a standstill as authorities say they will focus on the search. united this incident could cripple the port, which is vital for shipping, for several months. federal government will pay for restoration, but traffic is disrupted not only in the port, but the work of the port itself, which supplies goods to most of the east coast, to each of us, to the entire territory of those who are still missing, has been disrupted. states. and this is in the midst of an inflationary period, this is something that we do not need at all now. the white house reported today that... the american people call it incredibly offensive that the question itself has always

the port handles more cars and more farm equipment than any other port in the country.t year alone, the port handled $80 billion of foreign cargo, the largest in the country. our north america correspondent, gary o'donoghue, is in baltimore and sent us this report. throughout the day, the gruesome task of recovering the bodies of those who died has continued, as their identities have begun to emerge. two names have so far been released — miguel luna was from el salvador and a father of three and manuel suazo was from honduras. his brother, martin, spoke outside the family home. translation: he became a fundamental pillar - of ourfamily, a bastian so others could travel over there and get visas and everything. he was a driving force for all of us. they have been working the night shift, fixing potholes on the bridge, when authorities were alerted to the ship was veering off course. radio: if we could stop traffic and make sure nobody - is on the bridge right now. i am not sure if there is a crew up there. i want identify the form and get them off the bridge, temporarily.

port grounds.t is significant. that being said, of course it's not the only facility that can accommodate roll-on and roll off vehicles. you see that in savanna, certainly in new york, new jersey, and virginia. the tractor equipment will be more complicated than the ordinary light duty vehicles. these are the kinds of information that we will be seeking over the coming days including tomorrow's meeting. >> you expect because of those supply chain issues that we could see impacts on the u.s. economy as a result of the supply chain issues? >> we want to get a little more fidelity on how disruptive it can be. we are not talking about a single point of failure that is the only possible place to get through or even something that is as impactful as some of the issues that are affected or the panama canal for example. this does not automatically mean that a trip to the east coast has to be substituted with a trip to the west coast which would be much more of a cost impact. it can probably be accommodated

completing this port would take two months and gaza needs urgent assistance. stop your malicious games and open the crossings. can i say amen? you know last time we talked about the aid drops and how they were not efficient, this is also not efficient. we know it has other motives, not only because it will take over 60 days, but because... it's not uh feasible and it has been planned since 2014 by the way, so exactly security control. so we move to a post by james ray, at good vibe politic, who quote tweeted a post by the hill saying biden to announce us military led mission to build port on gaza coast to boost aid. james said, instead of ending the genocide, biden is actively participating in. he's proposing airdrops and some absurd plan to build a port that likely will cumulatively bring in a fraction. of what could come in if the aid truck sitting outside of gaza were allowed in, a sick, cruel joke. it is, and it's not even close to funny for the people inside of gaza. we also have megatron ron, who brought it home by hitting every nail there is in his ex-p

with access to the port blocked incoming best, those will have to rewrite what's to nearby ports, including those in new york in new jersey. further north and virginia little further south. among the goods handled in baltimore steel and cars. the port has major role on role of facilities and it's the entry point for hundreds of thousands of cars per year. german automakers even have their own facilities inside the sprawling area. well, bmw volkswagen, located at speros point, just outside the main port. mercedes operates out of fairfield and won't be able to accept incoming vessels until further notice. us presence and fight. and let's to oversee a quick and strong response to the incident. and to ask the federal government for the funds needed to rebuild the bridge and port about the terrible one to 4, to baltimore's, one of the nation's largest shipping house. it handles a record amount of cargo and last year it's also top port in america, both imports and exports of automobiles and light trucks. around $850000.00 vehicles, go through the port every single year. and we're going to get it

while we plan mitigations that said the port of baltimore is an important port. so for our supply chains and for all the workers who depend on it for their income, we're going to help to get it open as soon as safely possible now for the bridge, now, we are going to be working with ntsb. is they lead their independent investigation. it's too early to speculate. of course, what ntsb will find, but if they discussed ever or determined anything that should be considered in the regulation inspection, design, or funding of bridges in the future, we will be ready to apply those findings. what we do know is a bridge like this one completed in the 1970s, was simply not made to withstand a direct impact on a critical support appear from a vessel that weighs about 200 million pounds, orders of magnitude bigger than cargo ships that were in service in that region at the time and that the bridge was first built >> we also >> know that this is yet another demonstration of the importance of our roads and bridges, which is one of many reasons why the biden harris administration

the port leads in such positions as exported coal, it is the number one port in the country, and a hugeied by construction and farming equipment. since the collapsed bridge blocks the actual entrance to the port, the port will continue to work. practically paralyzed. the bridge collapse knocked out power at two port terminals operated by coal supplier consol energy and freight railroad company csx. the console is not sure that it will succeed redirect significant volumes of coal through nearby ports. philadelphia, buffels and savannah handle only a small portion of the exports. every day, downtime due to an emergency can bring, according to experts, losses in the amount of $9 million. these things are taken. it could take years to rebuild the bridge, projects like this take time, but biden has made it clear that he wants to make this a priority, it's a critical path, baltimore is a very busy city, especially considering. its location, the bridge was an important artery, the authorities want to restore it as soon as possible. property damage experts in the shipping industry believe the b

so there's little to no doubt that the order by us president joe biden to establish this temporary port in gaza is attempt to appease u.s. public opinion and as part of his electoral propaganda giving the upcoming elections and "given that it's coming a time when there's been no real pressure by the us administration uh exerted on israel to force uh to force them into bringing in the aid into uh stopping their crimes against the palestinian people or to facilitate the entry of any of the convoys into the gaza strip which israel is continuing to block so starting off with abc news you could immediately tell that this was part of biden's electoral propaganda uh biden speaking as if he has no influence whatsoever on the decisions made inside israel" when we know we've seen clearly over the past six months that their partners in crime, so let's take a look at what what biden said last week, and how abc used it to portray this idea of fake feud with netanyahu. let's see that. 70,00 injured, according to the hamas run health ministry. president biden defending israel's right to pursue hamas,

there are major ports where cargo can get redirected, including the port of virginia, port of philadelphia, new york, and new jersey. and in fact, we're already seeing that happen. now we do have to pay attention to what the ripple effects are there, right? because we could be looking at some port congestion at some of those east coast ports that could cause also it's going to cost money to get all of the cargo. shipped by truck to those other ports. so that could add to cost as well. >> but right now, we're not hearing major alarm, major concern from economists. they're not down reading their growth forecast are not warning of price spikes. jpmorgan put out a report saying that even in the auto sector, there's probably just going to be a minimal impact when it comes to car prices. but alison like everything else, you know, the longer this disruption last, the greater the impact and us officials are warning that nothing about this is going to be easy or straightforward okay. that egan. thank you. >> thanks, president biden says the federal government will pay the entire cost to rebuild the

largest port for export of coal. so there's going to be a lot of diversion to other ports in the northeast, also to the west coast, as everybody tries to cope with what is likely to be weeks if not months of fallout from this. haslinda: and biden is bowing federal support, what do we know? bruce: this is going to be a very expensive repair job. this is a bridge that was built in the 1970's. the price then was under $200 million. it is likely to cost several billion dollars to replace it. the president said that he will ask congress to pick up the tab. it is unclear just how quickly that would happen. things don't happen fast in the united states congress, so we will have to see, even if congress does agree to fund it, building a bridge is pretty complicated, so there will be a long time where there will be major disruptions. haslinda: bruce einhorn, we thank you so much for your insights. the bridge allows commercial ships to enter the port of baltimore. what are we looking at in terms of impact to supply chains, whi

i'm meghan wallace the ports recovery manager. today i do have a presentation that i'll share on the port's request to release 10 million dollars from the budget and finance committee's reserve, releasing the economic recovery project. so to begin, i just want to a little bit of background the fiscal year 2021, the port included 10 million dollars initiative. but at that point in time, we didn't have a lot of information about how the funds would be used. really we were at the start of the pandemic and our port director had the foresight to think that we would need resources to adjust and adapt to the pandemic. but they recommended wisely, i would say to ask the port to go back and get into more details about how the funds would be used. and that's has been my role since i came on board in this position with the port since 2022, in november we've been going through a planning process to determine the best use of funds. and now that we've done that diligent planning i'm here today to request the reserve. while the request is focuse

of soviet power, we decided on all ukrainian ports, now the cargo turnover of russian ports ... b.p-sea, there is no need to deal with the endless dredging of the bottom on the approach to the port, this is a huge cost savings, i say frankly. and the third is direct access to the world's oceans. do you want to go to the east all the way to the sea, do you want to go to the west, even to the east coast the usa, even europe, anywhere, and no one will ever use any artificial measures in the form of, for example, environmental standards. only in the eighth or ninth year, with personal participation, how many meetings were there, which i attended, which were held by the president, about the construction of this particular road, because a new road is always a boost to the economy , motels, gas stations, some kind of life appear , there was a remote taiga there, i was there during the construction period, there were bears walking around the workers, and so on. it was, but still in transport there are many problems, we need to deal with regional airports, which are not in the best conditio

biden also announced that israelies will secure the temporary port to provide aid to gaza. the same israels that are blocking the aid and starving 2.2 million people in gaza will be commissioned to secure the transfer of aid to the strip through the us military built port. the purpose is already known, the extraction of the gas located on the coast of gaza, which was also written about by the jerusalem post. today, israeli media also wrote that the invasion of gaza has stalled and there is no progress. hamas hold their positions firmly. "therefore it is not excluded that these troops will join the idf, you see, it was the biden administration that provoked all these concerns that we're seeing on social media, because the us not only provided the weapons that it's been uh in this world that it's been waging on gaza for almost six months, but it also ensured political cover for israel in everything that it's doing and prevented the imposition of sanctions on israel, which many have called for at this point, regardless of the magnitude of these blatant violations, this unprece

are the russians fully operational at the port? does it make sense to cut the port?i’m just guessing, i don’t know, they’re cutting there, they’re not cutting it, but this is a very old port, but with the possibility of increasing its throughput, it seems to me that we have been working on a construction program for a long time new ports, precisely due to the fact that we must... seem to be becoming more and more modern, because well, a port is the core of a transport artery, that is , an important point where the overload itself occurs, roughly speaking, it’s a land sea, so i think that the mariupol port of course needs to be restored, it’s been exploited for 30 years, but it’s clear that it’s in this state, so the old one needs to be cut down, new ones built, plus a huge part of the port was damaged in military operations, military operations were nearby, remember how many videos we analyzed regarding the old infrastructure. which is now being restored, even the infrastructure that was in no way damaged as a result of hostilities, they do not understand that some w

our economy depends on the port of baltimore and the port of baltimore depends on vessel traffic. maryland's economy and marilyn's workers rely on us to move weekly. but that is not just maryland, the nation's economy and the nation's workers are requiring us to move quickly. third, on taking care of our people. i went to talk a bit about the work we're doing with the maryland legislature. i want to thank speaker jones, senate president ferguson, and minority leader steve hirschi. they have been in touch with our team since day one. i also want to thank delegate luke clevenger, senator january sailing and other members of district 6 and districts, and i want to thank all the maryland legislators who reached out and offered their support. legislators, frankly, on both sides of the aisle. and i want to thank our federal delegation, too to include jane raskin who was here earlier, but to the members of the general assembly, we know this, we are 10 days away from the conclusion of this legislative session and there is a lot of work to do. their top priority in that work is going to be
