they are much harderfor the port authorities to check.ody inside the container, that is extremely difficult to identify. if it is a boxed container. it's difficult. the only way is to open the container or to scan it by x—ray. the security measures have been getting tighter and tighter because of fears this route is being used more and more. every truck is now photographed when it arrives in the port. cameras probe underneath, door seals checked for signs of tampering. it's all done in seconds — the aim of keeping cargoes moving day and night. uk border police are stationed here to help. in the dark, the migrants appear. when the port authorities sped past, we saw this group hide... then reappear. so this is exactly what the authorities are trying to prevent, to stop the migrants coming down here, using this as a route to try to find ways into the port in order to reach the uk, and that's why they've been cooperating with british authorities. but the tougher security at all channel ports means some are turning to smugglers to find a way t

they did it on the first day of school on 2013 without any head's up for anybody of the port authority and fort lee. stories of the children on school buses for hours and paramedics having to get tout walk to respond to somebody having a heart attack and cost the port authority $5,000, because they had to pay overtime for the toll collectors and the engineers who were conducting the phony traffic study. eventually the head of the port authority figured it out and they went back to the old system, and then the heads rolled. bridget kelly and david weinstein and others and chris christie who wanted to gather the presidential momentum to run for president, which he did not. and the government's theory is that they had deprived the port authority of property in the form of the extra salaries for the toll collectors and the engineers and the fraud came because they had lied about why they were conducting the traffic study. so kelly and barone's study is that the government is only relying on the theory, because it could not do it under the federal honest services statute, because the suprem

rayed to check the cargo harbormaster peter difficult says the port authority cannot have an overview of what the trucks are carrying with xavier has a budget and personnel that would create massive delays he says it's good if you would be able to scan every single continue but where do you do that is it only in the port is that the only responsibility of the port or is the whole chain of logistic events involved in this i ask if he believes there are ways to stop the human smuggling and the deaths that often result but i think 1st of all we should do everything that it's possible to avoid and that's one main thing but of course we're dealing with connectivity and connectivity and they had always one step ahead unfortunately and if you tighten controls in the port then they will move somewhere else the local and national police declined to comment on their role in enforcing security i'd say booka. for now it seems that smugglers will continue to operate using this port as a key point in their clandestine and sometimes deadly industry. you're watching the news live from berlin coming u

while the port authorities themselves have not been commenting very much, but what the police and prosecutoretting up lines of communication with the uk authorities are also investigating this, but at the minute, the belgian side are saying they cannot confirm that the container was shipped from here. it's a possibility that it also might have come from rotterdam, there is a connection from rotterdam to per fleet in the there is a connection from rotterdam to perfleet in the uk, one a day i think, roughly. but there are more connections from here, so it's more likely that it came from here. and they are looking into that. and at they are looking into that. and at the same time, we know that the port authorities are saying that all they say the minute ours they are dealing with 4000 trucks or containers a day moving back and forth on this route. they do check them for security, but they do also say that they have seen growing incidence of migrants trying to use this route or being found in the last few weeks trying to use this route. yes, we have been hearing from various people that checks r

the three other officers who were with the port authority team all killed in the class around him. he and john lived. he talks about how, you know, he goes around any talks to schoolkids. inmates and addicts. he talks about this experience. i had 220 stories of the world trade center fall on top of me. but we all in our lives have our world trade centers that fall on us. for some of us, it's a loss of a family member. for some of us, us, it's the loss of a job. for some of us, thinking we can't even make it to the mid- term next week. for him, his messages, it is all about how you handled the world trade center when it falls on you. of course, you know, when i say we are still living with 9/11, we are still also seeing the unfolding of the deaths thereafter. this summer we actually marked one of the main characters in the book and was the highest ranking new york city fire over facial to survive that day. the morning after he becomes chief of the department for fdny today he is actually the fire commissioner. this summer he announced the death of the 200 firefighter from the world

at the port authority, we look at new and alternative markets.sification obviously is an important thing for us. that includes different types of mineral ores that would like to ship. some of the things, for example, we are in discussion around production and new terminals to export salt. there is always something on the go. i don't suppose anything will ever be as big as iron ore, but we have got quite a number of products that we actually ship apart from iron ore and people are not well aware of that actually. haidi: it really is a once-in-a-lifetime sort of growth story, iron ore for australia. we spent a great deal of time talking about the global economic slowdown, how vulnerable australia is in terms of demand from what we dig out of the ground and the trade war is a huge part of that. have you seen the impact of that on your business, on the volumes you see day to day? roger: the big impact we had earlier this year was cyclone veronica. forall, we had a port shut 92 hours, 130 hours. there is the wind down both into the lead up to that cyc

next i would like to talk about the american association of port authorities conference.president brandon, from the maritime association and i attended the conference october 14 through 16 in norfolk virginia. this association, american association of port authorities has 130 members all public ports. and it was founded in 1912. so it is the biggest association of ports. at the convention a long-term ceo kurt retired after 34 years. and we welcomed in the new ceo, chris connors who was a shipping and logistics veteran. the host city, norfolk virginia is known as america's first port. it is a settlement dating back to 1607. so it's rich with history in terms of the james town settlement. it is the largest naval base in the country. it's the sixth largest containerized cargo complex in the united states. president brandon and mic and i were very impressed with the tours that we saw. there's a robust shipbuilding and repair industry a thriving export and roll on, roll off and cruising. so really kind of an he can electric itan activeport. the conference is interesting. there

what the port authorities here are saying to us is that they do not believe it happened here at the portcould have happened some distance away — possibly even outside belgium. and the reason for that is that they believe that the refrigerated trailer arrived here at this quayside already closed and already with the seal on it and that is important because the standard procedure then is that that trailer gets a minimal check outside, and then is waived through. it is only if there are signs that the seal is broken that it would be inspected and very few of those containers are scanned with x—rays which is the only way to find people inside. it is the soft—sided trucks that migrants tend to hide in that get checked with sniffer dogs and probes for carbon dioxide to look for stowaways. but what the authorities here say to us is that they do believe they will have a wealth of information because every truck that arrives here is photographed, the cab would have been identified, the driver's identity would have been taken, the documents for the shipment would also have been checked. and all of

and it is interesting because there was a discussion with one of the port authorities, and they pointedly 1% of the sealed refrigerated containers are actually checked. so we are learning a lot about the process. but since this terrible story broke a few days ago, people have been warning, in fact we we re people have been warning, in fact we were just talking about it, the smugglers were moving away from the busy ports like dover and felixstowe and moving around to the smaller ports where there are fewer border checks. if you are dealing with refrigerated goods, if you contaminate it by opening it up, he will make it worthless. the investigation is a live one. it has extended to china and vietnam, both governments have said they will cooperate. to what level do you think they will? the interest in stopping people trafficking? it's difficult. it begs the question, why we re difficult. it begs the question, why were people trying to escape from those countries in the first place? we know neither of those two countries are particularly forthcoming with the freedom of information. the real

we are going to announce today to deal with the port authority, long-standing fight with port of authoritylowed us to r raise anan additional $155 million to pay the debt service we are going to use the money for, to pay some of the debt service down on the 120 lane dollars that we borrowed. -- since thek beginning of this, people have been using this as an opportunity,y, even grandstandig to some instances. my head has been down trying to figure out how to solve this problem from the beginning. that is what we have been doing. juan: what about the federal government, the trump administration? their policy toward you since this crisis emerged? >>>> there has been none. .here is no direct relationship nobody has offered us anything. amy: have you asked for federal relief? >> sure. we wrote a letter to the white house a year and a half ago asking for assistance and help in infrastructure -- which is what we are doing now. amy: a lot of money going to build the wall on the border. your thoughts? >> we should be using that for infrastructure, particulularly around his water issue. this is bill

i remember going to a memorial for a trans woman in new york city who was stabbed outside the port authorityfor my entire life as a trans woman, for 21 years, i have been toring about -- going memorials and the trauma of that havedon't actually even words for the trauma of that. i think about black people in general who have watched our people be murdered in the streets and the collective trauma of that. i disassociated from it so much because it is too much. it is way too much. we live in a culture that stigmatizes trans people, tell us who we aren't who we say we are. aimee read a brief on stephens case, they bent over backwards to not use female pronouns to refer to aimee stephens. there is this consistent -- they are consistent in miss jane during her. we are somehow fraudulent. and when we have an administration, we have government policies that continually stigmatize us, it makes it ok for the person on the street who sees a trans person and decides we should not exist anymore. i am really at a loss because i know it is intersectional. i know it is about employment, health care, homele

hey i met them at port authority.amala harris be rethinking or strategy him the trump tweeting thing? >> i actually agree with her that trump should be on twitter but that's because they think no one should be on twitter. seriously for any of you on twitter? greg: you just pull the kamala. >> i am sure you are much happier than i am because i literally spent so much time on it and i've never gone gone on their been like wow i feel good now. i always go on their and i'm like i kind of wish i were dead. it's not like it's harmless. any day now i'm going to lose my job and all of my income over something that i wrote on their were free. happens all the time. it's ridiculous. it shouldn't be done. i'm going to go on and it as soon as i'm done talking but i shouldn't. it's just like a little bluebird. greg: my key don't you think ukraine will disqualify this? >> in a normal environment in a normal world and the politics pleased to know i would say yes. you have to remember everybody loves joe. i don't think he's heading to

the big factor is getting the trump administration to work with us and new york and the port authorityo help us fund the gateway family of projects. that would be new rail tunnels under the hudson. the current tunnels were built in 1910, which is meaningfully before i got here. they were damaged in superstorm sandy. the obama administration had said they would step up. we need the trump administration to make that commitment. we have good meetings from the department of transportation in washington lightly. there are glimmers of hope, particularly if we break that gateway project down into its pieces. there is no question we will do what we need to do, but we need our federal partners to do what they need to do alongside us. david: let's talk about the next administration, whether that is a second term for president trump or whether there is a democrat in office. you said you were not sure the growth of new jersey is attributable to president trump. the next president, what you need? on the democratic side, we have more of a progressive way, and perhaps a more moderate way led by vice

we remember the 37 port authority police officers who were killed. 125 civilians and military personnel killed at the pentagon. we remember. and we remember 2449 civilians in the towers and on the planes who perished. september 11, 2001 will be a fixed point in the life of america. early this morning, we dedicated the ocfa 9/11 memorial that features a steel beam that was once part of the twin towers. it's a reminder to us as firefighters how strong our resolve is, that everyday we're still willing to put our lives on the line to save others. while our nation will never be the same, we are better and stronger as a result all we've experienced. before the attacks, america stood for freedom, justice, and opportunity. today, these values are further ingrained in the fabric of who we are as a country. we'll always honor the victims of 9/11 and the heroes that emerged. and we will never forget their sacrifice. thank you and god bless america.

our port authority has been very involved. the largest gas discovery on the continent, here in ohio and western pennsylvania. we are seeing a transformation in the economy due to natural gas and the movement of that up into this region. we serve the steel industry here. without this region of america, we could not go to war. vast automotive and rail industry, which is also part of our heritage. this is the largest watershed draining into the great lakes. you are right near lake erie, the southernmost of the great lakes. we are sitting alongside the river, which is the largest river that drains into the great lakes. i will tell you, the redevelopment along our riverfront would not have been possible without tens of millions of dollars of federal money coming in here, to clean up damaged sites. federal dollars were essential in preparing the private sector for reinvestment in the heart of the city. refugesoint to wildlife that have brought tens of thousands of visitors here for our birding areas, among the most precious on the c

but in other ports, we don't do that, we rely a lot upon the port authorities who have their own technologygian customs, overseas customs agencies who help us, and we work with them and we use an intelligence— led targeted system to identify threats because it would simply be impossible, with the sheer volume is freight coming into the uk, to stop—and—search single one. freight coming into the uk, to stop-and-search single one. now, the investigation is looking into what route the lottery took. where it was at particular times. how much information will be discovered when they know the route and how the lottery has been tracked? one thing useful nowadays this technology. a great deal of technology is involved in most of these containers. they are fitted with gps. there should be are fitted with gps. there should be a seal, an identifiable container number on there. i think we will be able to track their spark around the various roots and stopping points. —— track this back. i don't want to speculate what the police are doing, they are doing a greatjob with the national crime agency, but i a

not to be seen and they went down the road looking for a way into the ferry terminal and the port authoritiesuickly and the men left the scene. this site is a giant port and there has been real pressure in recent months as places like calais, the security has improved there, that is a hundred kilometres away and hear 4000 trucks and trailers a day go back and forth to the uk so it's a pretty difficult job to keep the security here going. let's now speak to ahmad al—rashid. he travelled from syria to the uk in 2015. after 55 days, he made it to britain hiding in the back of a lorry. he's with us now. thank you very much and we are grateful to you forjoining us this morning. listening to you talking to my colleagues on bbc breakfast, it's clear that talking about your experience takes an emotional toll still, and first of all, please tell us still, and first of all, please tell us what it was like being in the position that these 39 people who lost their lives, being in the same position in the back of a lorry, what was it like? thank you very much for having me. i am just sitting here thinking

in mainland europe and colleagues in mainland europe and holland and france and also with the port authoritiesody should link this to changes associated in coming up with brexit and the rest of it but because we are talking about a change in our relationship tracked —— possibly in security terms as well with other european states coming up in the next few years if brexit happens, what concerns do you have that the level of cooperation that you've been talking about can be sustained? i don't think the smugglers care one way or another that what's happening particularly they just want the money. in terms of an operational perspective it will be important what every dealer agreement we come to with our friends and neighbours across the channel but that includes security across supported surveillance and intelligence exchanges which we have now. it's really important that continues and i hope it will. thank you for joining us. the headlines on bbc news: essex police are investigating the deaths of 39 people —— whose bodies were found in a lorry container. the driver has been named locally in north
