and alan titchmarsh and having his and coming up on bbc news — another major tournament tantalizingly close for wales. one more win over poland and they'll be at euro 202a. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. a search operation is under way for people thrown into a river after a container ship collided with this bridge last night, sending it crashing into the water. it happened in the us city of baltimore, just north of washington dc. at least six people are missing. two others have already been pulled from the water. there were people working on the bridge when it happened. it's understood the container ship lost power moments before. we have correspondence on both side of the bridge. start tonight with our reporter on the west side. we start tonight with our reporter on the west side.— the west side. we have seen the scene of the _ the west side. we have seen the scene of the bridge _ the west side. we have seen the scene of the bridge just - the west side. we have seen the scene of the bridge just behind l the west side. we have seen the l scene of the bridge just behind us. the waters here are incredibly choppy and murky and it is windy. i'm going to step out of the way there so you can see the destruction of the ship there as it crashed into the bridge. we know the president has promised any and all federal aid needed for rescue operations, but also to rebuild this bridge, and to get the port working again. as you said, one of the busiest in the country. as details emerge about what happened in the early hours of the morning, many questions remain unanswered. what caused the propulsion on this massive cargo ship to fail? my colleague gary o'donoghue has been looking into how this day unfolded. look at his report. it is looking into how this day unfolded. look at his report.— look at his report. it is 'ust before 1:30am, * look at his report. it is 'ust before 1:30am, and i look at his report. it isjust before 1:30am, and the - look at his report. it isjust| before 1:30am, and the 985 look at his report. it isjust - before 1:30am, and the 985 foot container ship dali is headed for the open sea. at points, power on the ship appears to fail and the lights go out, and it begins to veer off course. it then hits a pylon coming ringing the entire mile and a half span of the bridge crashing into the river. officials believe five vehicles were on the bridge at the time, along with eight construction workers. two of those workers were rescued. one is in a critical condition in hospital. our state is in shock, and i want to take this moment to speak directly to the people of our state. to our first responders, i am in all of you. i am first responders, i am in all of you. iam in first responders, i am in all of you. i am in all of your courage, i you. iam in all of your courage, i am in or of yourstrength, i you. iam in all of your courage, i am in or of your strength, i am you. iam in all of your courage, i am in or of yourstrength, iam in awe of am in or of your strength, i am in awe of everything you do for each and every one of us. boats, helicopters and divers were scrambled to the scene looking for the rest of the construction team still believed missing. local residents were woken in their beds, describing how they heard and felt the crash. did it wake you up? yes, it shook my house. scared the clap out— yes, it shook my house. scared the clap out of— yes, it shook my house. scared the clap out of me. my yes, it shook my house. scared the clap out of me— yes, it shook my house. scared the clap out of me. my husband does that kind of work. — clap out of me. my husband does that kind of work, and _ clap out of me. my husband does that kind of work, and i _ clap out of me. my husband does that kind of work, and i do _ clap out of me. my husband does that kind of work, and i do not _ clap out of me. my husband does that kind of work, and i do not -- - clap out of me. my husband does that kind of work, and i do not -- know . kind of work, and i do not —— know it could have been him or his friends. it sucks. incredibly, the crew of the ship were able to issue a day before the crash, allowing authorities on land to prevent more vehicles from going onto the bridge and unquestionably saving lives. local investigators have made it clear they believe this was an accident and have ruled out any kind of terrorist incident. my accident and have ruled out any kind of terrorist incident.— of terrorist incident. my team will move heaven _ of terrorist incident. my team will move heaven and _ of terrorist incident. my team will move heaven and earth _ of terrorist incident. my team will move heaven and earth to - of terrorist incident. my team will move heaven and earth to open i of terrorist incident. my team will i move heaven and earth to open the port and rebuild the bridge as soon as heavily possible, and we will work hand—in—hand to support marilyn with whatever they ask for. for now, the port of baltimore, one of ten largest in the united states, remains closed, the loss of the bridge severs a key artery for large vehicles on american's eastern seaboard. the impact of this accident will be felt for months to come. sophie, authorities are still looking for those six other construction workers that are believed to have ended up in the water. as the time goes by, hopes for them will certainly fade. we know the 22 crew members on the boat itself, the ship, are all safe and uninjured. authorities will begin looking into how this happened, but in the meantime, a key port for america which exports boats, steal, gypsum, all sorts of raw materials all over the world, is completely closed the foreseeable future. thank you, gary. extraordinary images. so just how did this massive bridge come crashing down so easily? rebecca morelle has been looking at the sequence of events. thanks, sophie. what do we know about what happened in baltimore? data analysed by bbc verify shows the ship set off from the port at quarter to one in the morning local time. the dali is a 300m—long container ship. onboard were two pilots, mariners from the local port with specialist knowledge to guide the vessel out to sea. it was heading towards the central section of the bridge, which is wide enough and high enough for the ship. but it veered off course, crashing into this supporting column. so what happened 7 in this video, the ship's nearing the bridge but at 1.24am, its lights suddenly go out, suggesting a major technicalfailure. a minute later, they're back on. three minutes after, black smoke is billowing from the ship. on the bridge, you can see flashing lights, where a team is fixing potholes on the road. a mayday call went out, then moments later at 1.28, the ship collided with the bridge and it collapsed. if you lose power while manoeuvring, there is a possibility you could lose control of the steering of the vessel momentarily. there are regulations as to how quickly you have to be able to regain control if that does happen, but obviously in such a confined area, those seconds or minutes can make the difference between a collision or not. so why did such a large part of the bridge collapse? the bridge opened in 1977, and at its centre is a continuous section spanning 366m with four supports. bridges are tested for impacts, but it's unlikely calculations would have included a vessel this size — ships are bigger now than they were in the �*70s. the head—on collision took out an entire load—bearing structure. you have a long element that is supported by four supports and you are simply removing one of them. i could not imagine another situation where a bridge like that would resist such a massive force. a major search effort is still going on using sonar to try and locate any vehicles that fell into the 15 metres of water, and an investigation into the tragedy has already begun. sophie. and if you want to hear more on the collapse of the baltimore bridge, you can listen to a special episode of our americast podcast, available now on bbc sounds. fresh details have emerged about how the clamp that would clap chemical attacker abdul ezedi gained asylum in the uk, despite concerns being raised about him. he attacked a woman and her child injanuary with an alkaline substance. what more have we learnt? abdul ezedi is now believed to be dead, having gone into the river thames not long after that attack. we have not learned the full details of his asylum claims, but there have been applications from media companies, including the bbc, which have been released today. he arrived in 2016, applied for asylum was refused, appealed and was refused in 2017, and a judge in that case said his evidence was a mass of inconsistencies with a lack of credibility. but in 2019, he made a fresh application, fresh submissions. those were initially turned out, but part of that application was a claim that he had converted to christianity. it even included a grainy black—and—white photograph of his baptism in the grange road baptist church injarrow in newcastle. as part of that, he had said he had been attending church in 2016 and was a genuine christian. he was turned down on that basis but appealed to a court. the court actually heard from the former reverend from the baptist church, who said he believed it was a genuine conversion, and said he believed he was genuinely a christian. this was despite the fact that ezedi had been convicted of a sexual offence in 2018, and when he was going to church, he was being accompanied by a male member of the church in order to safeguard the female members of the church, and on the basis of that evidence from the baptist minister, a judge did eventually grant ezedi asylum, and as we know, earlier this year, he threw a corrosive substance at a woman and threw a child to the ground. thank you, daniel. the director general of the bbc, tim davie, says the corporation will launch its biggest ever consultation process next year so that the public can inform and drive the debate on the future of the bbc and the licence fee. he said it was right to ask fundamental questions about the licence fee's longevity in a world that is now full of choice. here's our media editor, katie razzall. got some intel for you from the prison. nearly 12 million people watched happy valley. i'm a traitor. ., ., , happy valley. i'matraitor. ., ., , ., i'm a traitor. the traitors was one ofthe i'm a traitor. the traitors was one of the most _ i'm a traitor. the traitors was one of the most talked _ i'm a traitor. the traitors was one of the most talked about - i'm a traitor. the traitors was one of the most talked about shows i i'm a traitor. the traitors was one | of the most talked about shows on british tv. this remains one of the toughest processes around. and old stalwarts like the apprentice still bring an audience. but in a world of rapidly changing media habits, do we still need a licence fee funded bbc? the government says it wants a new model. the director—general tim davie today defended the bbc�*s role in public life, but signalled he is open to licence fee reform. we should be appropriately cautious about unpicking a multi—genre bbc that leads the market rather than is simply about market failure. we should not create another commercial walled garden or a narrow bbc that provides a niche service for the most hard—core users. the very wonder of the bbc is that quality news sits next to genres such as drama and sport, thus ensuring widespread engagement. we will proactively research how to reform the licence fee post 2028, looking at its scope, how it could be more progressive, and making sure it's enforcement is fair and proportionate. a time traveller came to call... but as a recent — a time traveller came to call... but as a recent deal _ a time traveller came to call... emit as a recent deal with disney over dr who shows, the licence fee can't pay for it all, so there was also a commitment to more commercial deals. and you talked as well about boosting the bbc�*s commercial income. how do you plan to do that? is at the dr who disney model? we have actually got a very good record in the bbc of appropriately commercialising the bbc. so i'm not talking about advertising on uk services. . , talking about advertising on uk services. ., , ., ., services. that is never going to ha--en?

the prime minister is losing two of his most _ why? the prime minister is losing two of his most experienced - two of his most experienced ministers today. the good news for rishi sunak as they are not leaving in protest at his leadership or any policy differences, and there are often very personal reasons mps decide to stand down, but this is becoming a growing trend amongst conservatives. 63 of them so far have announced they are not standing at the general election. this often happens when a party has been in powerfor a long time. experienced mps, ministers, even former prime ministers decide theyjust want to even former prime ministers decide they just want to move on even former prime ministers decide theyjust want to move on and do something else with their lives. but there is no doubt that some conservatives will be looking at those opinion polls and getting out before voters make the decision for them. thank you. they're meant to be a useful budgeting tool, but almost four million smart meters for gas and electricity that have been installed in homes are not working properly. the smart meters should be sending accurate readings. instead they're working on estimates and that means some customers could be paying to much others are paying too little and may be racking up debt. here's colletta smith. suzanne is annoyed. just doesn't make sense at all. i can't understand where it's come from. she has got a smart meter that isn't working properly and it is driving her mad. this is a debt thatjust doesn't make sense at all. suzanne relies on electrical equipment. this is my sleep apnoea machine. so when her smart meter started showing she was in debt a few months ago she contacted her energy company straight away. but despite lots of back—and—forth no—one has been out to fix it. i am frightened to use any electrical items, including my medical equipment. i am very conscious about usage. i'm not sleeping well because it is stressful. the latest figures show that nearly 35 million homes and small businesses across england, scotland and wales had a smart meter installed. the problem is nearly 4 million of them aren't working correctly. they are either not sending any information at all, or they are showing and sending the wrong information to suppliers. the national audit office have said they are concerned that energy companies haven't been focusing on fixing problems with existing smart meters because they have been incentivised to keep installing new smart meters in people's homes to hit the government target of 74% of homes and businesses by the end of next year. even suppliers agree that the industry needs to fix more meters. some of the older meters still don't work well if you switch and so i think what we need to do now is really focus the effort of the entire engineering industry in smart meter space and companies on making sure that not only are we providing smart meters whenever people want them, but we are putting effort into fixing them. if you have a smart meter but your bills are showing that the reading is an estimate, or if the figure is higher or lower than you were expecting, then there may well be a problem so it is worth taking your own readings to check. since we began asking questions today, suzanne's supplier has wiped out the debt that was showing on her smart meter. she says she is relieved but still not sure if she trusts the technology. i've had one forfour years and it has been nothing but problem after problem. while the vast majority might be working, there is still a long way to go until everyone's meters are as smart as advertised. colletta smith, bbc news. an american journalist who was arrested in russia a year ago on espionage charges has had his detention behind bars in russia extended as he awaits trial. evan gershkovich, a reporter for the wall streetjournal, is the first western journalist to face such charges since the fall of the soviet union. the us ambassador in moscow has called the charges categorically untrue and fiction. our russia editor steve rosenberg reports. we were not allowed into the moscow city courthouse. we were not allowed into the moscow city courthouse-— city courthouse. nothing personal. all journalists _ city courthouse. nothing personal. all journalists were _ city courthouse. nothing personal. all journalists were being - city courthouse. nothing personal. all journalists were being kept - city courthouse. nothing personal. | all journalists were being kept out. alljournalists were being kept out. instead the court released its own video, just six seconds of evan gershkovick. ajudge ruled he must stay injail. evan, how are you?

it is a huge sum and every family is slightly different, but it is not unusualfor slightly different, but it is not unusual for families to face what can be terrifying costs for providing care for someone. generally speaking, someone is confronted by the care system at a time of crisis and quite often they will be shocked to discover that even though they think the person they love has high health needs, they love has high health needs, they are not necessarily covered by they are not necessarily covered by the nhs. we have a system of funding for adult social care which we know is outdated. government after government has said it is going to reform it because we have an ageing population and people living longer with more complex conditions, but so far they have failed to deliver on those promises. most adult social care is provided by councils. the threshold for getting that care is you have to have less than £23,250 in assets and savings. that is a threshold that has not changed for over a decade. for people who are severely disabled or who have very high health needs, they might get nhs funded care. but we have talked in recent months to people a number of times about the battle is that people are facing. they talk about the postcode lottery as to whether or not they get help. they talk about borrowing money from relatives to pay for care. but the most common theme is families feeling very much on their own, providing that support day in, day out, without the back—up they feel they need. now a look at some other stories making the news today. the extradition of the wikileaks founderjulian assange has been put on hold for three weeks after the high court said the us must provide assurances he would not face the death penalty on charges relating to the publication of sensitive information. mr assange has been in a british prison since 2019. he's wanted by the us for disclosing secret military files. the pizza chain papa johns has confirmed it plans to close nearly a tenth of its restaurants in the uk. the company said all 43 sites marked for closure are underperforming. it's not yet clear how manyjobs will be lost. russian security officials say they cannot rule out ukrainian, american and british involvement in friday's attack on a concert hall. the islamic state group has said it is responsible. the head of russia's security agency acknowledged its limits were involved, but also suggests the attacks were facilitate by western and ukrainian services. buckingham palace says the king and queen willjoin other members of the royal family at the easter sunday service held at st george's chapel in windsor. it will be the king's most significant public appearance since he was diagnosed with cancer. wales face poland in a play—off final in cardiff tonight with a place at euro 2024 at stake. the winner willjoin a tough group which includes france and the netherlands in the finals of the tournament in germany this summer. our correspondent, hywel griffith, looks ahead to the match. their summer plans are up in the air but wales know that their fate is in their own hands. a winter night and a place in the euros is secure, with 30,000 supporters in cardiff willing them on. we 30,000 supporters in cardiff willing them on. ~ ~' ., 30,000 supporters in cardiff willing them on. ~ ~ ., ., ., them on. we know when we go out in front of those — them on. we know when we go out in front of those fans _ them on. we know when we go out in front of those fans they _ them on. we know when we go out in front of those fans they are _ them on. we know when we go out in front of those fans they are our - front of those fans they are our brothers, sisters and friends and family members and they are the people in the crowd and if we were not playing we would be in there as well, so it feels like there's more than just 11 of us on the field. for decades, thanjust 11 of us on the field. for decades, welsh fans didn't even dare dream of making it to a major tournament. now they are on the cusp of a fourth in eight years. it means as a generation, like these two girls, they have grown up knowing little else. ~ . . girls, they have grown up knowing little else. ~ ., . . ., , ., little else. watching wales on a world stage _ little else. watching wales on a world stage and _ little else. watching wales on a world stage and qualifying - little else. watching wales on a world stage and qualifying for i little else. watching wales on a world stage and qualifying for a | world stage and qualifying for a major tournament is such a big thing and it brings people together. are you nervous about tonight?
