Six people died after the Dali cargo ship struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge last Tuesday, causing shipments to be suspended in and out of one of the country’s busiest ports.Meanwhile, efforts are under way to remove debris from the water. A 200-tonne piece of the bridge was removed on Saturday.Those involved in the clean-up have been cutting debris from the bridge into smaller pieces that can be removed and taken to a disposal site.Cranes have been erected on the site to help lift debris from the bridge. That includes the Chesapeake 1000, the largest crane on the eastern US seaboard. According to a statement from the Key Bridge Response, a taskforce set up in the wake of the incident, port officials are preparing to open the temporary channel to the north-east side of the main channel near the collapsed bridge, for “commercially essential vessels”.This will be part of a “phased approach to opening the main channel”.Capt David O’Connell, who has been helping to coordinate the response, said the alternative route “will mark an important first step along the road to reopening the port of Baltimore”. “By opening this alternate route, we will support the flow of marine traffic,” he added.Currently, a 2,000-yard (1,828-metre) safety zone exists around the wreckage, preventing all vessels and people from entering the area without permission from port officials. Roughly 80-90% of the bridge wreckage is currently underwater, according to officials. The Port of Baltimore is a key economic generator for the state of Maryland and a vital artery for imports and exports of US and global trade.Experts say it could take a month before it reopens, and years to rebuild the bridge. It is thought an investigation into last week’s incident may take years.The US government last week approved $60 (£47m) in initial emergency funds requested by Maryland. US President Joe Biden said he expects Congress to support funding to pay for the bridge’s reconstruction. He is due to visit Baltimore this week.This video can not be playedTo play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.Media caption, Watch: New drone video shows close-up view of debris from the Baltimore bridge collapseThe Dali container vessel – which is nearly as long as the Eiffel Tower – remains on the water. Its 22-person crew, all Indian nationals, are reportedly still aboard and unharmed.Little is known about them, and it remains unclear when they will be on the stranded ship.Maryland Governor Wes Moore earlier said each stage of the recovery and salvage operation would be difficult, as there were “3,000 to 4,000 tonnes of steel… sitting on that ship”.The recovery has been further complicated by the amount of debris in the dark waters of the Patapsco River. Divers have been unable to see more than a foot or two in front of them.Eight construction workers were repairing potholes on the Key Bridge when the Dali cargo ship veered into one of its columns, forcing most of the structure into the water. Two were rescued and the bodies of two others have been recovered. The search for the remaining four – who are presumed dead – has been put on hold due to the challenges posed by the bridge debris.Isabel Franco, the wife of Jose Mynor Lopez, who is still missing, told CBS News that the 35-year-old had a “good heart” and always “worried” about his family.Four vehicles are also unaccounted for. Sonar scanning is ongoing for vehicles, human remains and debris that could potentially dislodge underwater.

Shipments in and out of one of the country’s busiest ports are suspended while the span’s wreckage sags over the cargo ship that crashed into it. The search for the bodies of four workers remains on hold because of the dangers of diving amongst the wreckage. Some $60m (£48m) in federal emergency funds will go towards recovery efforts.The port is a main economic generator for the state of Maryland and a vital conduit for imports and exports of cars and light trucks.Father of two among Baltimore bridge victimsInsurance loss for US bridge collapse could hit $3bnEight construction workers were repairing potholes on the Key Bridge early on Tuesday when the Dali container ship veered into one of its columns, sending most of the structure crashing into the water. Two were rescued. The bodies of two others were recovered and the remaining four are presumed dead. Sonar scans indicate the vehicles that fell into the water are encased in a “superstructure” of concrete and other debris, say state police.Maryland Governor Wes Moore said each stage of the recovery and salvage operation would be difficult.

The Dali container vessel – which is nearly as long as the Eiffel tower – remains on the water. Its 22-person crew, all Indian nationals, are reportedly still aboard. The recovery has been further complicated by the amount of the debris in the dark waters of the Patapsco river. Divers have been unable to see more than a foot or two in front of them. “Much of the operation is simply feel,” said the governor of the divers’ work.The effort will be paid for by the US Army Corps of Engineers, which has 32 staff and 38 US Navy contractors on the ground, officials said.They will be joined by more than 1,100 engineering specialists and other experts to begin removing the debris.

It will be followed by a 400-ton crane arriving on Saturday. Those involved in the operation must figure out how to cut debris from the bridge into pieces so they can be lifted by the crane, officials said.It must be done carefully to ensure none of the hazardous material held in shipping containers atop the Dali spills into the river.Some of those containers stored sheen, which is used in paint. A few have already broken open, officials from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have said.Authorities have deployed floating booms in an effort to corral any leaks.US President Joe Biden has pledged the federal government will bear the full cost of the rebuild. It is unclear how long the recovery or rebuilding process will take, but experts estimate it could take a month for the Port of Baltimore to reopen and years to rebuild the bridge. The NTSB has said the investigation may take two years.”We have a very long road ahead of us,” the governor said on Thursday. People in Baltimore are still reeling from the disaster. The city’s Major League Baseball team, the Baltimore Orioles, marked the start of their season on Thursday with a moment of silence for the victims, who were from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico.The wife of one of the construction workers who was pulled from the water said it is a miracle that he is alive as he does not know how to swim.Julio Cervantes’ spouse told NBC News that “all the men were on a break in their cars when the boat hit”.The wife said her nephew is still among the missing. “We haven’t been able to sleep, waiting for word if they’re going to find a relative,” she said.Related TopicsBaltimoreMarylandUnited StatesMore on this storyInsurance loss for US bridge collapse could hit $3bnPublished18 hours agoWhere Baltimore bridge investigation goes nowPublished20 hours agoTop StoriesDUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson resigns after sex offence chargesPublished1 hour agoWar a real threat and Europe not ready, warns Poland’s PMPublished4 hours agoTop UN court orders Israel to allow aid into GazaPublished6 hours agoFeaturesWaiting for Evan, Putin’s ‘bargaining chip’ in Russian jailLife after Pontins swapped tourists for tradespeople2 Tone Music: Black and white exploding colourWeekly quiz: How much did Kate’s Titanic piece of wood sell for?Beyoncé’s country album: The verdictWe’ve won £80k by entering 50 competitions a dayA view from inside ship that hit Baltimore bridge.

It focuses on whether a 2002 federal law created to prevent corporate misconduct could apply to individuals involved in the 6 January riots. More than 350 people have been charged in the incident under that law, which carries a 20-year prison penalty.Donald Trump faces the same charge in the pending federal case accusing him of election interference. The law makes it a crime to “corruptly” obstruct or impede an official proceeding. On Tuesday, Supreme Court Justices heard two hours of arguments over the law’s interpretation. However, it remained unclear how they would rule. A lawyer for a man who stormed the Capitol and was prosecuted under the law argued before the Justices that “a host of felony and misdemeanour” crimes already exist to prosecute his clients actions.The 2002 law passed in the wake of the Enron accounting scandal, Jeffrey Green said, was not one of them. US Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar counterargued that rioters deliberately attempted “to prevent Congress from certifying the results of the election,” therefore obstructing an official proceeding. Both fielded sceptical questions from the Justices. At one point, Mr Green argued that there is no historical precedent in which the law was used to prosecute demonstrators.Justice Sonia Sotomayor replied: “We’ve never had a situation before where (there was an attempt) to stop a proceeding violently, so I am not sure what a lack of history proves.”On the other hand, Ms Prelogar fielded questions from Justice Neil Gorusch on whether the law could then be stretched to apply to a “sit-in that disrupts a trial” or “a heckler” at the State of the Union Address. “Would pulling a fire alarm before a vote qualify for 20 years in federal prison?” he asked, appearing to reference an incident in which Jamaal Bowman, Democrat House representative, pressed a fire alarm in the Capitol.How the top court rules could have wide-ranging effects on the hundreds of people charged, convicted or sentenced under the law, as well as the prosecution of Mr Trump. Here is a breakdown of the key players and the law being argued: What is the 2002 federal law at the centre of the trial?The law is called the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. It was passed in response to the Enron scandal in the early 2000s, after it was exposed that those involved had engaged in massive fraud and shredding documents. It criminalizes the destruction of evidence – like records or documents. But it also penalises anyone who “otherwise obstructs, influences or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so.” How has it been used in response to the 6 January riots?Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the US Department of Justice (DoJ) has brought obstruction charges against those who participated in the storming of the Capitol. Federal prosecutors argue they did so to impede Congress’ certification of the presidential electoral vote count to cement Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 election. Therefore, the latter portion of the law that deals with obstructing an “official proceeding” would apply, the DoJ says. Who is challenging the law’s use in this case, and why? The Supreme Court is hearing a challenge to the law’s application brought forward by a former Pennsylvania police officer.Joseph Fischer was charged under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act with obstruction of a congressional proceeding on 6 January, as well as assaulting a police officer and disorderly conduct. His lawyers argue that prosecutors overreached with applying the Act, which they say deals explicitly with destroying or tampering with evidence integral to an investigation. Those who challenge the law’s application in 6 January cases also argue that a broad interpretation of the law would allow the prosecution of lobbyists or protestors who disrupt matters in Congress.How could the Supreme Court ruling impact Trump?The former president is charged under the very same law in a federal case accusing him of working to overturn the results of the 2020 election, which he lost to Mr Biden.If Supreme Court justices rule that the law does not apply to the 6 January rioters, Mr Trump could seek dismissal of half the charges he faces in that case.It also could be seen as a political win for the former president, who is seeking re-election in November, as he repeatedly has accused prosecutors of overreach. A final ruling is not expected until June.

Local authorities had raised concerns over public safety.A UK spokeswoman called reports of police action “extremely disturbing”. She said that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was a “strong supporter and advocator for free speech” and that he was “very clear that cancelling events or preventing attendance and no-platforming speakers is damaging to free speech and to democracy as a result”.Alexander De Croo, the Belgian prime minister, said that the shutting down of the conference was “unacceptable”.Referring to the fact that it was the local mayor, Emir Kir, who opposed the conference, Mr De Croo added that while municipal autonomy was a cornerstone of Belgium’s democracy it could “never overrule the Belgian constitution guaranteeing the freedom of speech”. “Banning political meetings is unconstitutional. Full stop,” Mr De Croo wrote on X.In a message to organisers, Mr Kir had said some of the attendees of Tuesday’s conference held anti-gay and anti-abortion views. “Among these personalities there are several particularly from the right-conservative, religious right and European extreme right,” his statement said.Mr Kir also wrote on X: “The far right is not welcome.”Nigel Farage, who took to the stage this morning, told the BBC the decision to close down the conference because there were homophobes in the audience was “cobblers”, and that he condemned the decision as an attempt to stifle free speech. “Thank God For Brexit”, he said.Organised by a think-tank called the Edmund Burke Foundation, the National Conservatism Conference is a global movement which espouses what it describes as traditional values, which it claims are being “undermined and overthrown”. It also opposes further European integration.The conference said it aimed to bring together “public figures, journalists, scholars and students” who understood the connection between conservatism and the idea of nationhood and national traditions. French far-right politician Eric Zemmour, arriving for the conference after police had blocked the entrance, told journalists that Mr Kir was “using the police as a private militia to prevent… Europeans from taking part freely”.Organisers said Mr Zemmour was not allowed into the venue and that his address would be postponed.Former UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman and far-right French politician Eric Zemmour were listed as keynote speakers. The National Conservatism Conference reportedly started around 08:00 (06:00 GMT) on Tuesday and carried on for three hours until police showed up and asked the organisers to make attendees leave.Later, organisers wrote on X: “The police are not letting anyone in. People can leave, but they cannot return. Delegates have limited access to food and water, which are being prevented from delivery. Is this what city mayor Emir Kir is aiming for?”Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban and the former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki were due to speak tomorrow. Earlier, the organisers said on X that they would challenge the order to shut the conference down. “The police entered the venue on our invitation, saw the proceedings and the press corps, and quickly withdrew. Is it possible they witnessed how peaceful the event is?,” they wrote on X.The Claridge event space – located near Brussels’s European Quarter – can host up to 850 people. Around 250 people were in attendance on Tuesday afternoon.Mohamed Nemri, the owner of Claridge, told the BBC he had decided to host the event because “we don’t reject any party…. even if we don’t have the same opinion. That’s normal”.”I am Muslim and people have different opinion and that’s it. We are living in a freedom country. I’d like to people to talk freely,” he added.It is the third venue that was supposed to hold the event, after the previous two fell through. Belgian media reported that one venue pulled out after pressure by a group called the “Antifascist coordination of Belgium”.Related TopicsBelgiumTop StoriesMuslim student loses school prayer ban challengePublished43 minutes agoBowen: Iran’s attack on Israel offers Netanyahu a lifelinePublished5 hours agoLive. US expects to impose further sanctions on Iran ‘in the coming days’FeaturesJeremy Bowen: Iran’s attack on Israel offers Netanyahu a lifelineIranians on edge as leaders say ‘Tel Aviv is our battleground’A really, really big election with nearly a billion votersWhat is the smoking ban and how will it work?Martin Tyler: I nearly lost my voice foreverWho are the millions of Britons not working?How to register to vote for the local elections ahead of midnight deadlineMeteorite ‘repeatedly transformed’ on space journeyHow the Alec Baldwin fatal film set shooting unfoldedElsewhere on the BBCFrom weight loss to prolonging lifeIs intermittent fasting actually good for you?

The metal object was jettisoned from the orbiting outpost in March 2021, Nasa said on Monday after analysing the sample at the Kennedy Space Center.The 1.6lb (0.7kg) metal object tore through two layers of ceiling after re-entering Earth’s atmosphere. Homeowner Alejandro Otero said his son was nearly injured by the impact. Nasa said the object was part of some 5,800lbs of hardware that was dumped by the station after it had new lithium-ion batteries installed. “The hardware was expected to fully burn up during entry through Earth’s atmosphere on March 8, 2024. However, a piece of hardware survived and impacted a home in Naples, Florida,” the agency said.The debris was determined to be part of a stanchion used to mount batteries on a cargo pallet. The object, made from metal alloy Inconel, has dimensions of 4in by 1.6in (10.1cm by 4cm).Mr Otero told CBS affiliate Wink-TV that the device created a “tremendous sound” as it blasted into his home.”It almost hit my son. He was two rooms over and heard it all,” he said.”I was shaking. I was completely in disbelief. What are the chances of something landing on my house with such force to cause so much damage,” Mr Otero continued.”I’m super grateful that nobody got hurt.”According to Nasa, the ISS will “perform a detailed investigation” on how the debris survived burn-up.What’s the risk of being hit by falling space debris?Is it a bird?

There are plans to display it alongside chunks of Nasa’s Skylab, which crashed in Australia in 1979.

At the time of his arrest, he was an active duty member of the US Marines. Prosecutors said Brannon was a neo-Nazi who frequently spoke of “cleansing” the US of “particular ethnic groups”. In November, Brannon pleaded guilty to conspiracy, destruction of property, possession of an explosive and intentionally damaging a reproductive health services facility.Kristen Clarke, the assistant attorney general for the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, said the attack “was designed to terrorise patients seeking reproductive healthcare and the people who provide it”.The explosion damaged the front entrance to the clinic in Costa Mesa, Orange County. No one was injured.However, Mehtab Syed, of the FBI’s Los Angeles field office, said Brannon’s “deep-rooted hatred and extremist views… could have killed innocent people”. Mr Syed added that Brannon plotted to rob Jewish residents in the Hollywood Hills, and had also discussed plans to attack the power grid. Further to this, in 2022, Mr Syed said Brannon, of San Juan Capistrano, placed calls to two US “adversaries” hoping to offer himself as a “mole” providing US intelligence.Two co-defendants, Tibet Ergul and Xavier Batten, have pleaded guilty to similar charges and will be sentenced next month.According to the National Abortion Federation, a group representing US abortion providers, there was a “sharp increase” in violence against clinics in 2022.
