The 59-year-old captain of the Salon, this Russian national, is in police custody. He remains in police custody for questioning at the moment. Humberside police say they're working to establish the full circumstances of what happened in this crash. They are leading the criminal investigation into this.

There is also an investigation being carried out by the Marine Accident Investigation Branch, also looking into the circumstances of what happened. I think the other thing that we've seen this morning is we've seen new aerial footage of the Salong, which is still on fire.

And I think one of the big concerns now will be trying to put out those flames on board the ship before they can begin any proper salvage operation. The big concern there has been is around pollution and the threat, particularly from the oil tanker. It was carrying 220,000 barrels of jet fuel on board when it was struck. And some of that has leaked into the sea.

Now, the initial estimates we've had is that the impact may, in fact, be more limited than was first feared. And that is because when the collision happened, it caused a series of explosions and then fire, some of which, as you said, is still burning. And that seems to have burnt off some of that jet fuel and some of it has also evaporated.

But I think the focus now is on making sure that the fires are out on both vessels and then a recovery effort and a salvage effort for those two vessels.

Our correspondent in Washington is Rowan Bridge. You are talking about potentially some of the worst weather parts of the United States have seen in a decade. I think the fact that you've got five states that have declared a state of emergency is And more than half of states were under some sort of weather alert, gives you an idea of what we're talking about here.

They were talking about 35 centimetres of snow falling in certain places in some of the worst affected parts of the country, Kansas, Missouri, sort of in the centre of the United States, really. There you have got snow and ice blanketing major roads, combined with strong winds creating blizzard conditions.

The National Weather Service is warning that travel in some states is affected to a level where it's almost impossible to get around, which gives you an idea of the sort of sheer scale of what we're talking about in the worst affected areas.

I think it depends on where you are. The weather is moving eastwards, if you like. So it started off in Kansas, Missouri, so the central part of the United States, and then it's sort of bearing east, and overnight will hit the east coast of the United States. So that is places like Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia. The east coast big cities haven't yet seen the full force of it.

They are going to get that sort of overnight. But even so, if you look at the scale of the disruption we've already seen... Six and a half thousand flights cancelled or delayed, significant disruption on the rail network. You know, these are significant levels of problems.
