US officials are scrambling to get a critical Baltimore port reopened after a bridge collapse.

A fully-laden container ship lost power and rammed into a support of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

They were able to send a distress signal in time for officials to shut the bridge.

Ninety seconds later it collapsed, and six people remain unaccounted for.

Baltimore port is one of America's biggest, and US correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that it will take a while to get it back in working order.

He says they will have to clear out all the wreckage from the shallow waters first, which will be a massive job.

Education Minister Erica Stanford talks about another issue she has to solve.

Did you see the Aurora Australis? There were strange goings-on because of the electrical storm, including Mike's boss getting a call at 4:30am after his security went off.

It is budget week in Australia, but the UN’s assembly’s vote to approve resolution granting Palestine new rights is dominating debate in federal parliament. 

Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs Penny Wong called the vote a move toward a two-state solution that would lead to greater security for Israel and Palestine. Opposition spokesman accused the government of undermining decades of bipartisanship.

Australia correspondent Steve Price tells Mike Hosking the country is seeing a rise in anti-Semitism as the issue continues.

Meanwhile, children in South Australia under the age of 14 will potentially be banned from social media following growing evidence that social media is harming children’s mental health.
