gulf is welcome to the program. i may just search and rescue operation is underway in the us software. a cargo ship crashed into a bridge in baltimore, causing the bridge to collapse. officials say several vehicles were on the structure at the time. the fire department says 2 people have been rescued, one of whom is in a critical condition. emergency workers are trying to rescue at least 7 others believe to be still in the water. shipping in and out of bolton will pull. it has also been suspended until further notice. the ship's owners say all of the crew have been accounted for and no injuries reported is just to give you a sense of the scale of this. the francis scott key bridge was 2.6 kilometers long, with a full a. it's more than $11000000.00 vehicles used it every year. and it is a major part of the road network on the us east coast.

officials in baltimore to say this is still very much an active search and rescue operation. here's how events unfolded. 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 flight container ship. 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. we're going to continue 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. let's go straight to both mobility w 1st bonded to know the monotonous standing by for us to know you. close to the scene of the incident. tell us what's going on is indeed a girl, hard or close, but not as close as we want to be. the bridge is actually about 3 kilometers that way. approach has been difficult, although we are still trying it just so happens that because of this accident up the roads, all leading to the bridge are close to both for to and vehicle traffic. but this

has turned out to be a place where people are gathering earlier today. there was a press conference here of local city and transport officials and a lot of locals also gathered here to watch that same press conference. obviously, the community here are very shaken. i spoke to a woman here today who said that her 20 year old son had just driven off the bridge off just at 5 minutes before this accident occurred. she was very emotional. so there are definitely a lot of unanswered questions here. but the impact on the community has been great and also of course uh with the bridge as role as a major artery. everything here is currently disruptive logistics transporter. and of course, it's also worth mentioning that the state of maryland is in the state of emergency today. this is a major disruptive event for this area. and then of course,

the rest of operation is still going on as we speak. i'm sure people are beginning to look in 2 possible causes for this accident, all the, any clues to that you have from the officials. indeed, so the officials that we're talking here earlier today said that there was no indication that this was in any way intentional. and in fact, the reports are emerging that the ship actually lost propulsion uh before uh before heading under the bridge. and that they had to notify the transportation officials here in maryland that they had lost control of the vessel. and that the collision was possible. it also seems to be in line with earlier reports that the ship was already that the ship was already off course and, and you can see from the footage of the collision, you know, most trips,

most ships would actually pass. so underneath the center of the bridge, this was more to the side leading us to believe that of course, this saw this really did seem to have been an accident. there is still a lot of questions as i said across, including of course, as to the nature of what actually happened. but it is it, the big emerging narrative really does seem to be that this was a terrible accident. and one of the open questions, of course, being is that the crews had notified officials why this accident could not have been prevented. perhaps it was a matter of time, but this was not what this is something that at the moment we just do not know who that means to now de la that in. bolton will. thank you very much. and now now let's have a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. a quote in great britain has a delay. the final decision over the expedition of the with unique found

a criminal meeting put in set the attack intended to so panic among russians. me his name to complain. yeah, we know the crime was committed by radical islamists who follow in ideology, but i'll make what it has been fighting for centuries. you kind of the mediums douglas are also seeing that united states has been using various channels to convince the satellites and other countries and, you know, stuff like that important that intelligence you. there's more things i'll keep in the better diag. in most schools we still could always do it. a bloody attack was committed by islam is from the islamic state organization. but i see, i think, is us which is binding. russia was let me know who committed this crime against russia as people with the do you want to know who ordered it? less than 2 to switch those up. gosh. how dangerous is put in a claim that you find was operationally involved in the boss kyle attack?

i put that question to a resume and sivitz, deputy director of the russia onto razor program and tired of the ukraine for us. the think tank to try some house all to be on us to crane is already in the full fledged invasion for the 3rd year in the role. so there's very little that we can, can do to retaliate on this completely bogus claim that he is not doing all the reggie. and just to remind the listeners as you know, the terrorist attack to place in most go to massive mist house strikes, hits you grading and cities hits you creating an infrastructure. the large town of hockey, which is around a 1000000 inhabitants this car, into the without water and electricity heating and the still cold temperature. so which is already waging a genocidal type of wall was torture. and, you know, mass murders in the cities, the ukrainian on carver one day liberated. and to be honest,

there's not much new up to sleep. now, what is he trying to achieve by selling this message? of all i say present important news is very clear from the very beginning that she's not only, you know, fighting here what she's fighting the west. it's interesting this question about who has ordered this terrorist attack, and that actually implies not only ukraine may imply and not only ukraine, he completely is this uh, ignore the warning said, well coming from the united states, the u. k. but the human and terrorist attack, again, calling them uh, open black, black mail and an assets too. so just to validation and panic. so he may, i mean for him, the animal is the west united states and ukraine. she's, she's just a proxy. see a total floor indian, he's

a and she's actually planned to push the united states out of eastern europe. now, the russian media is of course, outraged. how could he harmless that outrages justification to do? what do you think of or all he will do everything to harness hatred, hatred, 1st of all to ukrainians because russian soldiers needs to kill ukrainian sniff to torture them so that helps him to do humanize ukrainians for. a the 2nd he will need to mobilize small man to reconstitute use force because his armies taking heavy, heavy casualties more than a 1000 man. you know, a day on ukraine, on battlefields making only in crew mantle games on the territory. we do know from leaked information from inside the russian states, media, the kremlin, has instructed all the propagandists to actually emphasize this connection to
