And turkish president. Opens a new front. Packed with the United States. Electronic goods. The death toll from a major transport disaster in the italian city of genoa has risen the Italian DeputyPrime Minister says thirty people were killed and many seriously injured after part of a four lane motorway bridge collapsed earlier today a two hundred metre long section off the reinforced concrete bridge and about twenty cars and trucks. Warehouses and Railway Lines say the bridge was undergoing structure to book the bridges on a main highway linking italy with france it was built in the one nine hundred sixty s. And is known as the brooklyn bridge. For the very latest im joined now by john the sea monkey double is monitoring the situation from the italian capital droom see little of the death toll has risen to at least thirty people what can you tell us about the victims where what we do know is that yet and tomorrow really is a major Public Holiday here in italy its the major Summer Holiday and so there were probably people on that bridge either preparing to travel out of the city going to the mountains or going to the beach and so thats why we do see this death toll are rising and theres concern of course as they try to discover how many people were underneath we have heard reports of many people missing and so we have that death toll at the moment as well as many people injured some of which seriously so well have to see how things progress in the next couple of hours and perhaps even days what we do know that there was some thirty cars involved as well as three trucks in this incident as that the Massive Concrete slabs came crashing down and so the rescue services are trying to pull the people out of those cars underneath that concrete are definitely a tough job ahead for them right now and other than any issue thoughts on what earth caused the collapse of a section of that bridge. Well what we do know is that as you mentioned days Maintenance Work being carried out but theres been Maintenance Work carried out on this bridge for a number of years that it was inaugurated back in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven but has really been the cause of a lot of problems there have been reports about the cement tearing away there has been talk back in two thousand and nine that perhaps this in type of project should be demolished and so we have a lot of reaction on social media and even of course from the Political Forces here in italy with the transport and infrastructure minister being very clear saying those responsible will pay for this a disaster but at the moment of course all eyes on a possible rescue and we have the Prime Minister and the deputy Prime Minister rejected by the leader of the five Star Movement traveling to the site of genoa later today to express their closeness to the people involved in this tragedy and uses the means throne to use course is going to be on driskill how Emergency Service is dealing with this disaster what we do know is that the Fire Services as well as the Ambulance Service is on board some two hundred firemen involved and as i mentioned theyre involved in pulling people out of those who are trapped in the cars that are under all this rubble four people in fact were extracted the lives of that some good that seems to be coming out of it but people who were in the city described the situation and the sound of when it fell was like as if a bomb that hit the city and theyre treating this emergency like how they would treat an earthquake here in italy so all the steps are in place for the emergence of services to try and find as many people alive as they possibly can and ask questions being asked about the stage of infrastructure in italy how are people there reacting to this disaster. I think you find really speaking to ordinary tallinns a real frustration at the number of these socalled what appears to be unmanned me disasters happening in the country perhaps you know a lot of people hear me feel a possible terrorist attack but in this particular instance it was something that perhaps could have been avoided of course there has to be an investigation put in place to find out what can be done but a frustration among many italians that perhaps the infrastructure in this country a g seven member no less is really not up to scratch and more really needs to be done so clearly theres going to be an investigation into this very unfortunate incident but all thoughts perhaps now on those potential survivors underneath the rubble seen on gupta thank you very much for joining us with that update from rome police in the u. K. Are treating a car crash outside the houses of parliament as an act of terrorism three people were injured when a man drove his car into the security barriers outside the building the suspect has been arrested police are working to confirm his identity. This footage was taken moments after the car crashed outside british parliament. A b. B. C. Television camera filmed a car driving toward parliament then into an access lane before hitting the barrier gate. Surround the vehicle and arrest the suspect at gunpoint. And eye witness described seeing the car. Itself seeing a man roy. I was appalled at the restraint to force my remark and it was deliberately it was a it was made over you have a lot of injuries you would use a direct hit from under those of it becoming quite an experience at least now in fiction they. Were praised for their Rapid Response they say the incident is being treated as an act of terrorism given that this appears to be a deliberate thought the method and this being an iconic sites we are treating it as a terrorist incident top priority now is to formally establish the identity of the suspect understand his motivation if we can. He is not currently cooperates and the crash happened near last years Westminster Bridge attack where five people died after a man drove into a crowd and stabbed a Police Officer the security barriers were installed in the wake of that attack. Let me now bring you up to date but some of the stories making news around the us more to has given permission to for the rescue ship a crevasse to enter port a after five European Union countries agreed to accept the one hundred and forty one refugees on board the ship the dns a four day standoff that kept the ship at sea the refugees will be distributed to france germany spain portugal and luxembourg. In ecuador at least twenty three people were killed in a high. High speed bus crash east of the capital quito another nine thousand people were injured is the second major bus crash in two days twelve people died on sunday when a bus carrying soccer fans overturned in the south of the country. South korea has marked its first memorial day for women and girls forced to work as sex slaves by Japanese Forces before and during the Second World War officially unveiled a monument to the socalled comfort women in the city of cio not on the issue of reparations for the women has caused tensions between the two countries. Monica johns me now and with the latest on turkeys economic woes monica yep and that spot between washington and her isnt helping turkish president richard type add a one has warned his country will boycott you as products in response to what he calls economic terrorism done by the us hes referring to the Trump Administration doubling tariffs for turkish steel and many m the turkish lira appears to be pulling back from record lows thats after the central bank took emergency measures. President arrow one claims the United States has severed ties the lira as retribution for ankaras detention of an american pastor on espionage and terrorism charges washington had already imposed sanctions on turkey and last week announced plans to double import tariffs on turkish elaman human steel since then the turkish lira has lost a quarter of its value there to one says its part of a plot by the United States to devalue currencies globally meanwhile Russian Foreign minister Sergey Lavrov already predicts consequences for the dollar we didnt but. Im sure that this grave abuse of the u. S. Dollar as a global reserve currency will result in the eventual demise of its role. Or you would get the slow bits while many analysts say that International Concerns about it are ones economic policies are behind the leader as crash the turkish Leader Speaks of economic terrorism by washington and called on his country to boycott u. S. Made goods im really proud of electronic we will boycott american electronic products if they have the i phone there is also samsung. You know no one has also renewed a call for turks to convert their euros and dollars into turkish lira to strengthen the currency meanwhile analysts hope for the central bank to take action to restore confidence in the lira. Meanwhile the political some of break here in europe has come to an end and things are starting to move in the euro zone lets get the details now from a man of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and that is none other than early good to see you first of all i believe we have some fresh Economic Data coming out from the block and its not too bad. Its not too bad you know and economists theyre factual people you dont see them waxing poetic a lot but today one of them said germany is on track for a golden decade with these g. D. P. Numbers from the Second Quarter zero point five percent growth a healthy figure and more than people expected and whats more also the growth figure for the First Quarter was revised upwards consumption strong consumers spending money contrary to the belief that germany german people save all their money but they have good jobs secure jobs theyre earning more thats a strong point as the state spending as well and the picture extends to the euro zone itself as well the block as you say zero point four percent also a good number and countries like spain and the netherlands actually growing faster than germany well maybe that prospect of a golden era through germany has prompted the german chancellor Angela Merkel to comment on planned euro zone reform at her first public appearance since the holidays. Thats right she said that she could imagine having a budget alone for the eurozone not as a separate budget but under parliamentary control of the e. U. Parliament has no need for for an e. U. Finance minister but shes taking up on talks that she had with the french president of mind when my call earlier in the summer its venting towards creating something that will perhaps force investment in the euro zone and provide a buffer in case of crisis a very interesting proposal seems to be moving on the politicians want to propel this forward as well but of course the devil is in the detail all sorts of questions to be answered on how to implement it ok and thats when we turn to you again for the ounces think is about to leave us and frank that. Well south korea is set to impose a driving ban on recalled vehicles of germanys luxury brand b. M. W. Authorities are the owners of certain b. M. W.

Now over to rita now a disaster in west africa the legacy is still lasting absolutely monica. Lets take a look at this scene of a mountainside that collapse under the weight of rain a year ago tons of modern rock crashed into houses on the slopes around freetown the capital of syria leone the city in west africa had already experienced three days of heavy rainfall together with the rampant deforestation and d. And construction it led to one of the worst flooding related disasters to hit africa in recent times an estimated one thousand people were killed and about another three thousand left homeless a year on the ws one hundred crease traveled to freetown to meet a man who lost half his family in the tragedy. Its a painful journey for maliki camera who has returned to where he used to live in regent a suburb of the capital freetown. Camera lived here with his family for ten years he remembers the day vividly exactly one year ago when he went to work early in the morning in the pouring rain. Shortly after a powerful mudslide destroyed hundreds of homes including his own. Last year at this time i was still sitting here with my family we talked to the children not going out and ill never be able to see them again gods going over for no one is helping me im suffering and i was hurt so much. I just over its go i think. Almost his entire family was killed by the mudslide his daughter fatima just seven months old. His wife. The only survivor was his twelve year old son daniel who was rescued with severe injuries. Cameras says he was given the land by local authorities but there was no official Building Permit so whos to blame. The government its the government is to blame we werent living in the socalled green belt where construction is prohibited so we built our houses outside the area in a section marked to save city limits. The Environmental Protection agency has a different view it says the houses were built in the greenbelt illegally but the new head of the agency does admit that in the past there were hardly any checked there were not supposed to be and thats why i say it was due to weak governance because nobody was supposed to be housed yeah. According to environmental activist high as they say residents were also to blame for last years catastrophe she says he tried to warn people just to. Weeks before the disaster. People we are cutting down trees and the forest which up with thick dead people we are boning chap called the out people we are mining stones in that particular area they also do a wildfire within the forest so whats happened its a weekend this way and because the smells will leak and thats one of the reasons several factors contributed to the disaster last year inefficient offer to use citizens that we can all the risks deforestation a massive population growth on the heels of freetown additionally Climate Change has been causing much less frequent but stronger rain falls that is why op service warned of further disasters in the future. Leaky camera and of the survivors now live in emergency accommodations provided by the government they may be safe but they are an hour outside the city center. Theres no Running Water and no schools in the area but residents still have to pay rent. A year after the devastating mudslides camera still doesnt know what the future holds for him and his son. And that report finding andrine krishi joins me now live from feet on where people today are remembering the victims of last years tragedy a welcome looking at the landscape behind you have to feel seems to be a fair bit of damage what is being done to help survivors like maliki commodity we saw in your report won it off the tragedy. Well you come out and others have basically received some cash in the case of mr come our it was about three hundred fifty u. S. Dollars they also received new housing as we have seen in the reports but they still have to pay rent for it and many of the victims of the survivors have been complaining bitterly that this is not enough and this is what we have seen again today we im here still at the premise of a church where Commemoration Service is held for the victims and many of them have been complaining bitterly that the support is not enough and there was a very remarkable moment here when one of the bishops of the country took to the stage and addressed the crowd Bishop John Young and he was very direct in what hes saying he said we are moving from one disaster to another this country and we are sick of it it was really a verbal slip towards the Political Class in the country and the president was sitting right in front of him he was of course referring to the disasters of the country has seen before eleven years of civil war later on the deadly Ebola Outbreak massive corruption in the country and then later on the mudslide and hes blaming a lack of response on the government and he said clearly also addressing to the president he should end this mess so a lot of anger and disappointment from what he was saying to what extent has the area recovered from the devastation of last year. Well you can see it behind me the devastation is still clearly visible some work is still going on a lot of people were relocated to other areas but you can also see many are still living close by and they are also still complaining bitterly that hardly any investment has come to the area theres no infrastructure no roads. And i have been a wha
