A major bridge in the US city of Baltimore has collapsed after being struck by a container ship. Rescuers are now searching for people in the River Patapsco, which the Francis Scott Key Bridge used to stand over. We get the latest from our correspondent at the scene and hear from a local café owner. Also in the programme: We hear from a resident in Gaza where the fighting continues despite a UN security council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire; and might climate change spell the end of the traditional British pint?
