Lets go to baltimore where engineers have carried out a controlled explosion to remove the part of the collapsed bridge. The part of the collapsed Francis Scott key bridge, which has trapped a container ship, the dali, since the vessel struck it, causing it to collapse, in march. The blasts were intended to break up the bridge into smaller sections, which would allow Salvage Crews to haul it away using cranes and barges. Heres the Us Army General leading the project on the operation. Todays operation went as planned. Once that has been completed, the dale would be re floated, removed from the main channel which would allow the Port Of Baltimore to be fully re opened. Its going to cost as much as Two Billion Dollars to re build the bridge. The fbi is carrying out a criminal probe into the incident looking into what caused the ship to collide with the structure. Now, as you can now, as you can see now, as you can see these live pictures there with debris from the bridge laid across the bow. We understand the explosions were placed throughout the span of the bridge and they were all detonated within a few seconds. You can also make out that they are still containers on the vessel that have been stuck as well. By detonating parts of the bridge, the degree will have fallen away but there are still a lot of debris under the surface of the water that will need to be cleared in orderfor the port, the waterway of the port to be cleared. You can see the containers on the fully laden vessel. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. Melinda french gates says she is leaving the Charity Foundation which she established with her ex husband, the Microsoft Co Founder bill gates. She didnt give a reason but did confirm that in leaving, she will have an additional 12. 5 billion to commit to her work on behalf of women and families. The foundation has already spent nearly 54 billion working to tackle Child Poverty and preventable diseases since it was set up more than two decades ago. Lets speak to teddy schleifer, a reporterfor pucknews, who specialises in Silicon Valley billionaires and their impact on the world. Thanks forjoining me.

We know that as part of their divorce, a factor driving melinda away from the foundation and from her husband was her husband was baptised to jeffrey epstein. There has been much reporting since the epstein left this earth that bill gates himself carried on quite extensive relationship with jeffrey carried on quite extensive Relationship Withjeffrey Epstein well after he was first convicted of a crime, and that bothered Belinda Gates who was not aware of all the details there. Bashman indicates.

One thing i am very curious about is there has been a recent push by the foundation into womens health, which was really a priority of melendez. Does that stay a priority . They say it will.

Lets take a look at some of the stories in the headlines in the uk. Ajudge sitting in belfast� s high court has ruled that the governments plan to detain and remove Asylum Seekers to rwanda should not apply in northern ireland. Mrjustice humphreys said it would breach the post brexit deal agreed between the uk and the eu. Rishi sunak said the decision would not change his governments plan. Rishi sunak has warned that the uk stands at a crossroads ahead of some of the most dangerous years because of threats from countries like russia, iran, north korea and china. He said only his Conservative Party could ensure safety and accused labour of trying to depress their way to victory. How we act in the face of those changes, not only to keep people safe and secure, but to realise the opportunities, too, will determine whether or not britain will succeed in the years to come. The labour leader, sir keir starmer, insisted that security would be his First Priority if he became prime minister. He said voters would have to decide between his party, or continuing with a government of chaos and division the government, rishi sunak, keeps saying everything is fine. But Everybody Knows it isnt. And that is why we are laser focused on Living Standards. And what i am developing with the mayors here is a plan for Living Standards to go up in every part of the country. The government has watered down planned Police Powers to deal with so called nuisance rough sleepers, after opposition from tory mps. Campaigners were concerned that the criminaljustice bill had been drafted so widely, it could lead to rough sleepers being arrested orfined due to the way they smelled. One of europes most wanted People Smugglers has been arrested in northern iraq. It comes just days after the bbc tracked down and confronted Barzan Majeed, known as the scorpion, whos been on the run for more than a year. Sue mitchell was behind that bbc investigation and has this report. By his own admission, Barzan Majeed has smuggled as many as 10,000 people across the english channel. The boat crossings are incredibly dangerous. Our investigation began when one of his sports field at sea. Many adults and children have had to be rescued in the channel, our investigation began when one of his boats failed at sea. Many adults and children have had to be rescued in the channel, including six year old maili. How many children were on the boat, maili . There was you and your brother. Four. Four children . Yeah, four children. 26 members of the Scorpion Gang arranging these Channel Crossings have already been arrested and prosecuted after an investigation by Police Across europe. But majeed escaped and went on the run. Together with former soldier rob laurie, we traced Barzan Majeed through his Network Across europe, finally confronting him in iraq where he spoke to us off camera, telling us he was providing a service that people wanted. Nobody forced them. They wanted to, they were begging. They were begging the smugglers, please do this, do this for us. You know that smuggling through europe is illegal and highly dangerous. You know that. Of course. And yet you did it. Im telling you, ive done them kind of things. I done it. Majeed was arrested earlier today as a result of our bbc investigation. He is now being held and questioned by police in iraq. Sue mitchell, bbc news. And you can hear the full story in a new series, intrigue to catch a scorpion,� you can find it on bbc sounds or wherever you listen to podcasts. If youve never heard of the hairstyle known as the mullet, well, its defined by being long at the back, short at the sides, and often a bit spikey on top three haircuts in one, as it were. It was very big in the 19805, especially with People Living in the southern us, and for some reason, with australian cricketers. Its hardly been heard of since that heyday but its back. If you want proof, just take a look at the people who turned up for the european mullet festival, held in belgium. They were proud to show off the style known by many nicknames, including the mississippi mud flap, the cameo cut, and the kentucky waterfall, and have promised to bring it back to what they say is its rightful place, which appears to be above the ears and down the back of the neck. They all look very happy with their hairdos they all look very happy with their hairdos. Lets take you back to baltimore hairdos. Lets take you back to baltimore and show you live pictures of the baltimore and show you live pictures of the Dali Baltimore and show you live pictures of the dali containership.

Now, the explosion happened earlier, just to break up the parts of the bridge so that ship could be removed. We will have more on that in our Feature Bulletins here on bbc news, goodbye. Hello. The weather looks decidedly mixed over the next few days, just as it was on monday. For some of us, there was a little bit of sunshine and some warmth 24 celsius, or at least very close to it, in parts of Northern Scotland. Compare that with 14 celsius in southwest england, with cloud, with outbreaks of rain All In Association with this area of low pressure and this slow moving frontal system. Now, this Weather Front is now slowly on the move, northwards and eastwards. You can follow that Weather Front here for Tuesday Morning thats where well see outbreaks of rain across parts of Eastern England for a time across the midlands, certainly some rain across northern england, southern and central scotland. Rain tending to pull away from northern ireland, and for wales in the southwest, its a mix of sunny spells and heavy showers. Northern scotland should see some dry and bright weather. We could well see the highest of the temperatures here, around 21 celsius more generally, 16 20. And then, through tuesday night, heres our Weather Front continuing its very slowjourney northwards and eastwards. Much of the rain, though, i think fizzling out. Itll be a bit misty and murky in places as we start wednesday morning, temperatures generally between 9 12 celsius. Our Weather Front still in play, still a band of clouds, some splashes of rain we may see some heavier rain pushing back in across some eastern and northern parts of england. Elsewhere, some spells of sunshine, a scattering of showers we could possibly see the Odd Heavy Thundery shower breaking out in the north west of scotland. Temperatures in Northern Scotland likely to touch 22 23 celsius, but in sunny spots elsewhere, we will be in the high teens or the low 205. For thursday, still the remnants of that Weather Front providing cloud and a focus for some showers. But we will see some showers breaking out quite widely on thursday, some heavy, thundery ones in places. But again, in the sunshine, temperatures getting into the low 205 celsius not bad at all for the time of year. Now, as we head into the end of the week and the weekend, this area of low pressure tending to weaken, the centre of the low tending to be to the south of the uk. So spots further north actually may escape most of the showers and see a decent amount of dry weather. Temperatures could still get into the 205 celsius for some. More showers further south, some of those heavy and thundery, but still with some spells of warm sunshine in between. This is bbc news. Well have the headlines at the top of the hour as newsday continues, straight after hardtalk. Welcome to hardtalk, im stephen sackur. Russias invasion of ukraine served as a wake up call to those members of nato who have long ignored american demands that they spend more on defence. Ordid it . Canada, for one, may still be snoozing, still well short of natos defence bending target. Of course, canada is a long way from kyiv. But there are concerns about russian and chinese intentions much closer to home, and in arctic north, for example. My guest is canadas defence minister, bill blair. Is canada ready to get serious about defending itself
