7:01 am
of these 12 palestinians are killed and strikes and the rough as israel continues to ignore the un security council resolution calling for an immediate cease fire, cause i'm from a prison cell to the presidential palace set of goals, new lead a promise mystified corruption. after we left the we begin in the us with the coast guard says it's now suspending, search and rescue effects and bolting will of congo ship lost power and hit a bridge, causing it to collapse. state police say the rescue mission has now changed to a recovery operation to find the 6 people who are still missing. 2 people were rescued after they were thrown into the river a lot. so now, so not that 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,
7:02 am
we do not believe that we're going to find any of these individuals still live without just arrows. hodges of castro joins us live from near collapse bridge in boats. and will heidi, so what are we learning then about the victims there and appears that all 6 of these presumed to cease the victims were members of a road crew. and they were all immigrant. and then working in the united states from latin america. and they were in the middle of this bridge, when catastrophe happened overnight. this would have been almost 24 hours ago when a container ship weigh more than 97000 tons kareen into a pillar of this bridge. and we've seen that breast taking image of how the fridge just collapsed. now these victims, again, they were working on a row for repairing the asphalt, the guatemalan consul. it has confirmed that 2 of these men, worldwide guatemalan in their twenties and thirties and other 14 year old father of
7:03 am
3 was from el salvador. and we believe the other, this is the victims are from mexico as well as from honduras. but as you mentioned, there were 2 who also members of this rose crew who were pulled from the water alive early in the search and rescue at 1st. but after hours of continued searching, that search was called off and now it has been a recovery effort. and of course, there's many questions as part of this as well. why were the members of this construction crew? why were they, why did they not have time to get off the bridge? because the ship this send out a made a call and the maryland authorities operating this for trustees that just in time to stop traffic from entering of crossing the bridge. and if you say that video is just press, take a how mirror what a knew this it was. for those car is just the last one passes before the ship
7:04 am
koreans into the fridge. but it wasn't possible to alert set road crew have they receive such a warning? at this point we just don't know. and those are some of that many questions that are still pending. yeah. hi. be and do we know how the investigation will proceed from here? then to yeah, so now that this has become a recovery, as far as the investigators say that this is when they can step in there so far, really given the space to the rescue workers, they will be boarding this container ship, which they held off on doing they'll be looking for the, the shipping for the records as a black box of their shift to see just when they didn't lose control as it needed to know the port authorities that had lost propulsion. didn't try to stop that at dropping anchor. was there anything that could have been done to prevent this? and then of course, there are also the questions of what, how, how could it be that just by hitting one color of this bridge costs such
7:05 am
a massive and near instantaneous failure were there and design flaws to this. and finally, the work of reopening, this shipping language is really a vital one. this is the 2nd busiest ports on the eastern seaboard of the united states. a lot of vehicles, new cars are actually transported here and export it to the rest of the world from the u. s. already we're seeing automakers say they have to shift their operations to other ports. this is going to take time. this is going to cost money, divided ministration said that it is going to help rebuild and recover this bridge, but it already warning that it's going to be an expensive and time consuming process era to how does your customer life as the in baltimore, heidi, thank you. well, let's bring him call him, come friday, he's a bridge design experts and the head of structural engineering. got them on asked university joins us live from melbourne in australia called him. good job. you with
7:06 am
a so this bridge in baltimore, as we saw, was destroyed extremely quickly, extremely dramatically. why did the bridge full so quickly when only one of its support plants was hit and, and how can i a single point of failure caused an entire bridge to go down? well it, it's a single point of failure. look, it, it shouldn't have happened. there are protection measures in place that are supposed to make this not happens that there is a, what's called a dolphin. it's a concrete element which is about a 100 meters off the pillar. it's the 1st line of defense against the shep collision. after that, there is the sender which is a protections light. the bumper on the car is around the pylons at the ship seem to avoid the to all settings and then the sender just wasn't enough ad for the size of this special. now once i got the hip thought pylons the design of the bridge, the way the structure is if it's simply there was no other way for it to to,
7:07 am
to go or they're going to collapse. there was no what we called redundancy at. once you remove top support and you would call the method design, structural engineer, or a wide range of projects including bridges. so what's the then an inherent weakness in the bridge? and how can bridge design has protect against impacts like this one from the shoot shipping containers? yes, i'm sorry. with the side of the inherent wait this in the bridge itself. i think the protection managers around the bridge apparently weren't up to the task. here's the question. then becomes, why weren't they up to the task? and it seems that this bridge was designed in the, in the seventy's and constructed in the seventy's, the requirements and the seventy's were quite different to the requirements that we have today. and you know, for me, what's in my mind is, are we checking about the existing bridges we have today are adequately protected against the shipping that we have today. so i wonder if the ship stopped this
7:08 am
bridge was designed to be protected against or much smaller on the ship that we saw unfortunately, impacted the bridge. yeah, and that's an interesting point you made caught in because we know that the bridge as the site was opened in 1977. so that makes it nearly 50 years old. would that have been any retro switching to the bridge to make it safe or given the age of a structure? so, so i think this will be the key question. i have no doubt that in maryland department of transportation, this was something that has been considered over the years. i honestly don't know the details of where they went with that. how we go about deciding whether or not to retrofit is true a risk assessment. we try to balance the costs, the financial costs of improving the strength and robust gustavo structure against the increase in safety. we want it to be more sites, but we don't want to spend too much money on. so this policy, not just something not at bridge engineers across the world, undertake daily locate. it's just project in this instance,
7:09 am
it seems thought that it was inadequate for the event, so i don't follow the call in just just a final thought to you. i'm president biden, says, own efforts will be made to rebuild this bridge. what lessons then will designers and build as learn from this accident to prevent something like this an ever happening again as well. we try to learn the lessons from a similar thoughts and 19 id in florida. certainly the design of bridges since the 1980s has increased as are the requirements for protection against shep collision have increased significantly. i think to, to rebuild them. to reopen, this is going to take some time and i think these are a partner said the economic fallout from this not to mention the tragic loss of life. but the economic fallout is going to be a norm is both due to the interruption to the transportation networks and also have the parts activities around the hardware and baltimore. all right. cutting company that from a nation invested in melbourne, australia called and thank you very much indeed for your time and your analysis.
7:10 am
thank you very much. the now the united nation special rupture for the occupied palestinian territories has presented the findings of a report that says that a reasonable grounds is ran, is committing genocide in gaza. francesca alban, a z says israel has violated 3 of the 5 acts listed under the un genocide convention. including kidding, members of a specific group causing serious bodily or mental home. and deliberately inflicting conditions of life, calculates to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part. she also found that genocidal acts were approved. i'm given effect of the statements of genocidal intent by senior. is there any military and government officials these acts albany? is he argues a part of a separate kind of legal process of the razor, which has been underway for more than 70 years. she recommends them on other things

7:15 am
continue where in a value refuge account. there has been show house being targeted in the course of the past 24 hours the according to god's as health ministry. these very minute 2 troops have killed more than 80 palestinians um its ongoing a rustic system on his head from eye witnesses on the ground who managed to slipped from the ongoing military seat of a she felt hospital reporting that isabel has destroyed the majority of areas and she felt hospitable, turning the entire area into a great yard where destruction is every single corner on the vicinity of the hospital, as they have been also reporting about fields, executions being made for a number of palestinians who have been killed on the other families who are still right now trapped for more than a week without having sufficient amount of fluids in water and without being at least rescued and unrelenting, and on completely buried work conditions that they have been going through. in the course of the past week, us defense secretary lloyd austin that's told as well as defense minister the
7:16 am
safety of civilians. and the rough uh is a top priority. you, i've got, i'm traveled to the pentagon for the inputs meeting on tuesday, as well says, is planning a ground defensive in the southern most city of the gaza strip. where 1500000 displays palestinians have been forced to seek shelter. that's despite concerns in the us and the international community. logical haine, reports from the sensitive a pretty strong language from the us. secretary of defense, lloyd austin, at the beginning of the meeting, know we know the is really defense minister you'll have kalonde has come here. was a long list of weapons that he says, israel needs to get from the united states including really event fighter jets. this is seen as the most critical, critical key piece of leverage that the us has. if you want to try and force israel to the change course. so what happens? well, we were able to speak to a senior defense official and a background call. and reporters repeatedly pressed were the weapons granted? are they on their way? and he would only say that the west are strongly believes israel has a right to defend itself, and to defeat him off that israel says,
7:17 am
and the us believes they are following international laws of war. and any announcements would come in the future. but again, it was fairly tough language at the beginning. i mean, let's listen to that protecting palestinian civilians from harm as baltimore on the subsidy and the strategic imperative and gods are today. the number civilian casualties is far too high. and the amount of humanitarian aid is far too low. oh gosh, i is suffering. i came out hurrying contrast situation is getting even worse. a safety of the 1500000 palestine angel williams. and rafa is also a top priority for the united stage. the senior defense official said that he believes more aid is getting into gaza, although he said it's still not nearly enough. and when it comes to rafa we per, we are able to press and say, what does the us want us to happen? they said basically the us wants to see $1500000.00 palestinians. they're being
7:18 am
able to move safely to somewhere else as long as israel can provide for their basic needs. and then start the assault on rough. uh, the problem is this vice president come on hers. she just said in interview that she's looked at the map. there's literally nowhere for this 1500000 people to go. so obviously still a big debate behind the scenes, but the kind of gods choosing not to let it go public political home. i'll just here at the pentagon, start for a short break here, and i'll just say right, when we come back, these ran the on the says it's killed a high ranking. how much sufficient in the master i can garza early this month, but how much refutes the claim for that stylus? the glad you're here. let's go with your weather report. across the middle east and africa,

7:20 am
not a gas car. this is going to dump about half a meter of rain costs northern madagascar over the next few days. the, the brutality of the response to the events of october 7th had become impossible to know. there is no one nor, or international humanitarian law that has not been violated. it's been one of some western powers supports of israel's actions. these world has the right to defend itself. it has the duty to defend its people. it is astonishing just how deep cleaning corrupt materially am tomorrow the they look at how the international news are being applied and ignored in the israel goes to conflict. israel above the low on al jazeera, the

relatives model one is was killed by now strike 3rd of this month. the target to the central gaza strip. another senior, how may i ask? amanda was also reported me killed in the same attack. well, how do you mind holding this? don't see a chase book with us on the have them the senior spokesman for him as he says he cannot confirm the death of model in itself is unclear. alum and the model, i'm a so i'm a kid that everybody knows that model one isa is one of the major commanders of cuz i'm brigades, and everybody knows that the israelis have been saying since day one that they want to target the outcome some. and how much commanders and because us trip, however, in the absence of an official statement from from us or some confirming the martyrdom or wounding us any of its commanders or members, we cannot confirm such information. have you heard anything from the all cassandra gauge, one minute feeling as to missed it uses whereabouts and safety are missing. having remind them that they attempt to that one. this information is not usually traded
7:23 am
inside the movement, the whereabouts or information pertaining to the safety or outcomes. some commanders is not information that is exchanged internally. however, in the absence of a statement by of cosign brigades about the martyrdom or wounding of any if its leaders, then the information published by the enemy is not deemed as confirmed. it could very well be part of the psychological board that is waged by the occupation against the resistance and the palestinian people. so just to be clear without view is at the moment mister hunt on you was saying that you have no information. as to mister e says whereabouts or safety, because the military ring has not shared that information with you. i understand that he was acting as a sort of korea, so the captive negotiations. so mediations have been saying that he has not been seen for some time. all those talks being affected as uh, i went on, uh, yeah, i mean my, so that's a thought of luck with them sort of 1st off, it's not about information sharing. i can confirm that any information pertaining

7:28 am
a champion, is a growing number of millennials and gems, the americans who have lost faith in their future and lost their pride in our country. there is only one candidate i have met for president who takes the chronic disease epidemic seriously. it is robert f. kennedy junior shanahan is $38.00, grew up in poverty and became a successful attorney in tech entrepreneur. she's also the ex wife of google co founder surrogate. brent kennedy is 70 a long time environmental lawyer and an advocate of various discredited conspiracy theories including the childhood vaccines and on specified environmental toxins cause autism. shanahan referred in directly to those claims. no single safety study can assess the cumulative impact of one prescription on top of another prescription and one shot on top of another shot on top of another side. kennedy's broader message is that all major government agencies and other institutions are corrupt,
