Funds promised after ship collides with US bridge

US President Joe Biden has promised to send all the federal resources necessary to help with recovery after a container ship crashed into a bridge in Baltimore, over one of America's busiest shipping lanes. Rescuers are now searching for people in the River Patapsco, which the Francis Scott Key Bridge used to stand over. Earlier, it emerged the container ship had lost power after leaving port, but had issued a 'mayday' call, enabling the authorities to stop some traffic driving on to the bridge.

Also in the programme: we hear from a senior member of Hamas on ceasefire negotiations; and another opposition candidate in Venezuela has been blocked from standing in elections.
