so rob a reminder of our top stories a record number of people have turned out to vote in home calls district elections about 2500000 people have already cast their ballots it follows months of increasingly violent protests against pro beijing policies or forty's had threatened to suspend polling if there were serious disruption we are facing an extremely challenging situation all the nice in this year's elections but i'm pleased to say that with the concerted efforts of all parties including of course over 30000 civil servants in many departments working today we should have a relatively peaceful and vironment to conduct these elections successfully.

pro-democracy activists joshua warren was disqualified from running but he's protesters to continue opposing beijing says i will protest movement stop for a few more people around the world just a pom pom pom pom which should come up but mr carlson your action is that you actually committed base all this money on the street money. instead over. political system but i still have urged people to vote actually to show how this can head to beijing. where the bride has more. well it is generally perceived here that the more people who voted is going to benefit the pan democrats and of course we have seen as well as this record turnout a record registration ahead of this poll of people wanting to vote some 4000000 people registering out of

a population of 7000000 with several 100000 of those big young people registering for the 1st time so the more people who vote is generally considered to be the pan democrats pro democrats who are going to benefit as everybody here has been saying in all of the different political camps what the importance of it is it is almost like a referendum it is an opinion poll you know we have massive demonstrations in the streets here up to 2000000 people out marching but until you can actually see a poll like this it's very difficult ever to claim that you know you have the upper hand that you are in the majority so if the pan democrats can show that this is an affirmation the opposition of people here to the to the government and its close ties with their beijing and what they see is the rolling back of some of their autonomy there that will be the importance of this people in guinea-bissau or choosing a new president for years political infighting and allegations of corruption have

week. i was having an experience which i'll never ever forget i was 19 years old at the

time. and it was quite a surprise to find myself in russia in the middle of a war the front seat literally. numbers were tight but don't parents i worried and i. know there's a worry in times really it was a wire in time for us. not knowing. if when when we're going to get out and it was very worrying for the parents as well or you know. their sons or husbands and all that was going to come out because of the way the war was going but once it was over there was just a waiting game. during this conflict there was a bit of anxiety because if you're in the middle of a war trapped there you don't really know which side accidentally could hit your ship so it's quite scary times and it wasn't

a glorious place to be obviously when you see a conflict like that and you watch it on the televisions there on the television or film war looks glorious book to be honest it is not it is completely horrific. we don't know if the israelis are going to push further from where they stopped on the sinai site further into egypt or we don't know alls we know always wish to walk in there like trapped animals. what would happen who knows. nobody could tell us. that's what we have to live with. it was in a prison as you were no way but you see you couldn't go anywhere couldn't do anything. just to carry on. that's an.

opened 150 years ago to connect the mediterranean with the red sea the suez canal is a remarkable engineering achievement. however one of dent in the storied history of suez remains largely untold how in 196714 cargo ships unwittingly sailed into war not to emerge but another 8 long years. those manning the ships were neither prisoners nor hostages most came and went every few months but they did succeed in building a maritime community like no other. with their ships left in splendid isolation and unable to leave the suez canal bay stablished their own unofficial micro nation complete with traditions sporting competitions and even postage stamps. they try to make the best of the situation in the great better late

a particularly wide section of the canal so called because of its high salt content . emergency men were not remotely experts on the conflict into which they landed theirs was a world of engines and curves and ropes navigation was their strength and war was alien to them yet they found themselves surrounded by the bitterest of enemies in a confrontation that was none of their making. as months 20 years their cargo ships became covered in fine desert sand which from a distance gave the flotilla a distinct yellow color as a result of the vessels became known as the yellow fleet. and i miss i know clearly meant. violence fancy. stood on fired off its year shifts north end. of the north end and you

must start. north. in the eyes of our. to reach much of my old city house cries of off on a non indian want for an indian. chief who owns or let's. continue and confront dollars and bid on a us cannot. do it and die of a home from karachi. to give it all stones or it may not aid in yemen or. petroleum name was a branched off in diesel fuel oil on an involved. target before and i become bia from my get. good kind when going to the front of his old vida fonda. descend in.

the and the polls. which was a british cargo ship which predominantly sailed to australia new zealand from the u.k. . taken general congo there i'm bringing back vegetables fruit meat back to the u.k. has basically run. on this particular journey we had been out. to australia and. back for the united kingdom. we left fremantle. to cross the. indian ocean on comin through aden. they. when we arrived at the. southern end. the vessels were more outside on

a convoy of 14 ships would commence the next day phase slice through a little bit a lake and then we would progress the journey through to port site which is roughly a 24 hour journey on not mourning. on the convoy began to move into the base a late. this was the cold war a time of great tension between the superpowers of east and west rumors intelligence and espionage where the currencies of the day. and on the 13th of may $967.00 soviet intelligence warned of an imminent attack by israel the attack they said might begin on the syrian front where israel had assembled troops.

egypt which at the time had a defense agreement with this syrian allies prepared for battle. these were extremely tense times in the region a decade earlier and 1956 the serbs crisis had seen israel invade the sinai peninsula part of egypt in a conflict that drew in the world's major powers. a large number of egyptian ground forces crossed the suez canal and dug in of the sinai peninsula israel's response was to put its own army on to a state of alert. 11 years later on the 22nd of may in 1967 egypt closed 2 israeli ships access to the straits of tiran a strategic waterway leading to the port of elat in the south of israel. the next day egypt also close the entrance to the gulf of aqaba to all ships carrying the

israeli flag as well as to international oil tankers bound for a lot the rhetoric between both sides ramped up and war appeared to be imminent. but to crewmen on a brief supply stop in aden now part of yemen the geopolitics of the middle east. were not uppermost in their minds. on the way home from the far east we bunkered we stopped in aden and bunkered there to pick up fresh water in oil and we picked up some supplies there as well. during this time the 6 engineer and i decided we were asked the chief if we go ashore just for a last minute bit of shopping before we go into the suez canal and up the red sea. and as a result of that we were on shore and we met a couple of british soldiers marines and they were on patrol and they said to us

i think you to a better get back to you ship because it's going to kick off around here we didn't really know what that meant so we went back to the ship anyway we 21 queen in aden with the oil and water and supplies and we headed up the red sea i think it was before we went up there and see or join this time we had a meeting with the ship's officers and the captain and they knew something was going wrong but they said should we carry on they took a vote whether they should carry on up to the suez canal or turn around and go back round. the bottom end of africa however where my personal vote was carry on.

for me. into the sun through for. vice president view had me into hudden via and as i did to become machines i did you know for golf good know my advice notified of it dawned on innovated. just from. us this would. give. the viewers invited of your shift to shift a log and i go around frist as all get to enter fits in shifa via ziva vitae jewish. as of the of the valen that's would have to go to shift and in don't go and it's kind of lifted off the conduct among artists and if so then to me announce a seat on to us and tell us could not fing. it or not so now if i'm. going to shift this to marlon or reports you know it's

not from. off to my not to model resident. less than a month afterward shipping was barred from the straits of tiran israel launched a series of attacks on egypt and positions triggering the $96076.00 day arab israeli war which drew in not just egypt but also syria and jordan it was monday the 5th of june 1967. i was on the watch when all of a sudden we had an amazing noise of a jet engine. and as we looked up. we see in

a formation of sri fighter planes coming across from the sinai side just above must fight and flew between ourselves the last 4 ships to sri planes crossed they immediately climb to high altitude and as we looked at them they began to do what we now know was a means of blowing up the wrong way at the airport or the air force base.

we could see it was less than a mile and a quarter way out than oculus we watched the jets bombed a long ways 1st and then they israeli warplanes which were parked all by the anger's was then attacked those 3 awful nation of 3 israeli jets one state dropped their payload they came back and crossed towards sinai again again very very low on must heise and then across battle the sinai and no sooner had they gone done another wave of sre came in and did exactly the same. and we watched these formations over the next. couple of alice every 4 minutes 5 minutes they would be comin across do an option as much damage is sacred

to the egyptian air force base which they literally obliterated. oh all. while the war was going on where you just just saw everything that was going on because it was only a mile from the s. 1000000 rampal as i recall the planes were. we shore are very big so let me know at times we stayed out on deck and we was just watching the the battle going on shore saw it round rand is mayor and the surrounding areas we watched her with a trace of bullets go to red bullets we could there would be explosions gharyan and

also but the catalyst there was said to us you know your place should be careful so we still watched it so we really didn't sleep much when i was 6 days. 6 days after the war began mr aziz ceased israeli tanks and troops attacking egypt's sinai peninsula reached this it was canal israeli troops stood in the eastern side of the waterway gyptian forces were massed on the western side in a standoff that gave both control of traffic on the canal. the egyptians reacted by

closing the suez canal their goal was to physically prevent israel from having access to the canal so all ships were scuttled to make the canal impossible passenger ships would be allowed to complete their journeys but cargo vessels could go no further than the great better laid bare they were instructed to drop anchor and wait for further developments this decision brought together 14 ships of different flags for british 2 west german 2 polish 2 from sweden one french one czechoslovakia and one bulgarian and an american vessel war and politics at. unwittingly assembled the young fleet. we became trapped because we doubt very soon afterwards within a matter of days that a dread of been sunk it seemed to us training open or close on it at the northern

entrance as we understood it the that probably done the same thing to the south of us so the audio of us making in the sky something like that sunny to the south seemed to good to know that there was probably no possibility whatsoever. there was news suddenly not a geisha as there was no internet no telephone tone and i thought and misty's the only thing it we had us that the mean ship's radio but you could communicate all over the world with. the nfl dot business law stop by the egyptian authorities to stop us using that because let's face it we could possibly have sent in a lot entered nation as to what was going on so we bombed allowed to do that and to stop us from doing the we had a policeman and boarded ship and his job was to look after the interests of the

egyptian authorities and ensure that we did not use out radio. shortly after we were there the captain of our ship thought we do need to get in touch with these other people and he made it his business to get in the lifeboat because the light boat was our taxi we lowered the ships like guy who got in our taxi and went right to all the other ships and suggested to those people we're there to make the best of this possibly cause. the all agreed that this would be a really good idea from following on from not then they came up with another a new. amber of unique ideas as to why they could best improve life for everybody on the lake. when it's the lifeboats manned by one of the offices aboard a ship went to the israeli side and i think that they were taken assured by the israelis and sent back to london so at all costs we stead of the

israeli side but there was an occasion and the early days when women died that a memo came from the egyptian side to say that any of these any of the boats sailing side the perimeter of the ships in the canal will be shot upon. a couple of months past we've been told that the international red cross were trying to talk to both parties egyptians and israelis. about what they could do for the crews who were trapped. the captain had decided that if we could keep a skeleton crew on board. then the rest of the crew could be repatriated. on the egyptian authorities and the israelis authorities allowed and then call it

all from athens through to cairo. i was one of the skeleton crew of the young man i was 20 i was a seaman an old the captain swung to the doctor. in the event that. the canal would open we just needed sufficient crew to mount the vessel and take it out to port side on the mediterranean side and. i didn't really. understand or appreciate what the dangers might have been at that point i just saw well ok. undy only this i don't know of on the money i haven't got children or old age you know it yet it should be me that stays here for half a lover or however long it takes for this conflict to end i have no idea it was going to end up the way it did. as the

guns fell silent what to do with the 14 cargo ships stranded in the middle of the canal became a problem that neither egypt nor israel was willing or able to resolve. the sailors on board seemed destined to be patently marooned in this isolated desert waterway communication with the outside world was tightly controlled with radio calls restricted to medical emergencies. the ship's owners made a decision to rotate the crews so after 4 months or more each merchant seamen would be replaced even though there was little work to do apart from basic maintenance all the sailors continue to receive their food wages.

coming up in part to be yellow fleet crews devised different ways some quite ingenious to improve conditions on board. the way had a lot of big games spin elden mexico $968.00 i think and so the polish ships decided to of a many a lympics and of course they are gonna start that all off all sorts of things. just the mind play tricks of the empire is all with this part right there or are they really out that you've had them by. paula wagner here. in the car the filmmaker takes the f.b.i. to court to find out the facts many 33120 pages of graphics and in the process mobilizes her community and why people are. trapped the feeling of being

watched on al-jazeera. you're watching others are with me said robin a reminder of our top news stories a record number of people have turned out to vote in hong kong's district elections more than 2500000 people have already cast their ballots it follows months of increasingly violent protests against pro beijing policies or thought he's had threatened to suspend polling if there was serious disruption bright as. it is generally perceived here that the more people who voted is going to benefit the pan democrats and of course we have seen as well as this record turnout a record registration ahead of this poll of people wanting to vote some 4000000

on al-jazeera. the yellow fleet was a convoy of merchant ship stranded in the su is cannot but the 967 arab israeli war to survive their cruise lives in the cargo of food the ships were carrying. a dead another bundle of things that we of edible stuff that we heard us cargoes on the ships remember the ships came from all over the far east nashville here that come from you know vietnam hong kong philippians that come from shale here in the world loaded with gold sorts of goods and about to send them as high as they are the companies the ship warner said said look at all those cargo that's going to be a construct of total loss it will not be used again you know there was things like

a robot and t. i mean there's thousands of tons of tea and cases of the there's thousands of tons of rubble and bales of all of them but the stuff that was good for us in the canal we were told that we could use so we had there have always knew better than that and and the hutchison lee had found all sorts of boxes full of clothes. you know like this one of the ships had been to vietnam and it was full of prolongs shelley and ships they were all full of frozen meat lawman stuff like that so we didn't go we didn't go short with this you know the way they were all the stuff was handed round the leak you know so that was really no problem at all when. if your ship if you was on. the american ship as an example and you

didn't have any fresh fruit because you could get skinned scabby if you don't it in then the issue is you still can dish it out in the middle of the lake with down all the time so your captain would have spoke to my captain and said look can you send some can you give me some of your cattle because we can't miss it's about sustaining life so we will go and open the hatches down below open the fridge is get out for carcasses of lamb go and open the fridge goes to where all the apples lay it all boxes of apples on it pays to get them all. canned fruit you know which have been produced in australia in camden to ship and back to you to europe to the u.k. . are like ball would be down in the water basically to its goals what

we would put in to take to your ship to give you and then you would want to thank us for that. so you would say well look the only thing i got is whatever take that back. i don't touch change you can change. the. diamond on the can all after a couple years they cargoes within the holes of the ships was deteriorating and in particular on the ships had to come from australia they have they had frozen food disk it was costing a lot of money every day to keep the phasers going to keep the stuff coal they also had lots of things like bowls and children's and they realised that you know that was a limit as to how long they can afford to keep this these these color goes beyond

reasonable condition the dead osc far a mission to try and ship there was a colossal on the daleks ondrea and get them shipped from there but there i understand that they actually i thought this would not follow that the dolphin. so the decision was made to try and get rid of that stuff we had there with no option but to dump a lot of the side special fed the fish if nothing else you know. as munster did 2 years maintaining those ships became increasingly difficult temperatures in summer would touch 50 celcius winter desert nights could be

bitterly cold engines needed to be regularly service to ready for the eventual day when the ships would be released fuel supplies were also limited with no prospect. of replenishment. fish for bottles of. a little. chef and stunt howden the mother of inks and mother home soil and on the world on the dust. and allow the governor. so if i'm strong you can really father on the water. the little bit of use of a shift and stand out. among the 5 again ones of. the most amount of shift of muscle i can. know the sort i'll see on the also for the job at all for those of us on the ballot helps at least. on 10 descends on figure when i was on some cong.

victory for the machine that doesn't leave just one then the house the farm come to us avoid the spot us 50 say oh it was a very heated moment i'm modern i'm told. i'm saying if on the farm you're going to be mostly the money for them that month so get outside i'm still into the encounter the i couldn't the how the phone then the come out over snow. my responsibilities and board the ship were to ensure that all the electrical apparatus and electronic operatic on board the ship which kept and 1st class working order because we expected to be either the canal any day so how did we go on to another port from the canal they had the ship's deck officers would have expected all the electronic equipment and lactic an equipment to unload the cargo

so even though we were in the canal i still had to do what we then called rig team to teach to ensure that everything was checked that it was working and it was in good order. with little to do apart from maintaining the vessels the crews could only look on at events around the. israelis continue to occupy the sinai peninsula and despite a widespread condemnation from the international community showed no signs of leaving. over the next 3 years clashes continue to east of the canal some involving aircraft and heavy artillery along the ceasefire line in the sinai both sides suffered casualties in what became a political stalemate. at this time the suez canal remained closed to all traffic in both directions. while heavy clashes continued

in the region east of the canal the world was focused on global politics the cold war was at its height and the fate of 14 ships stranded in a wide section of the su is canal was not an international priority. the plight of the yellow fleet had slipped off the news agenda months dragged on and the 14 ships remained a dying company great britain think the crews realize that their best option was to create a spirit of international cooperation and a stark contrast to events in the wider world friendships were formed as well as the great to better and make association. l.a. . we were very much a community because there were only 27 people on board our ship and many of the other ships had we just screwed like that the company didn't have a full compliment which would have been about 70 personnel on board a ship but we were down to 28 though it was necessary then to make friends with all

the other ships with the american ships and the swedish ships and the polish arabs and the other british ships so it was very important that we got in touch with then and made a good relationship with them. not long after the ships arrived they stopped at this but the call that they got it but only association the concept was developed by one of the masters of the blue funnel ships and the muscle of the swedish ship carlotta and they thought this would be a good idea to set something up for the welfare of the crews and just give them

something to do. i was contacted by mr jim starkey who was a captain on at one time on board the port of a cargo and he suggested that we all should get together to form a group called the great better lakes association. which i was very happy to join and in joining that i got a nice tie with a little lanka round it in the 14 ships which were very proud of and i got a badge for my car and regular correspondence from all the people who'd been in the lakes at that time. anyone could join the g.b. elliott anyone who went to the canal and indeed over the years i must have been like about a 1000 people who had been there and they were all invited to join the g.p.l. that was diplomats and those agents of us all sorts of people you name them and lots and lots and lots of the media crews come out there to interview and

especially with senior politicians and then the senior politician has created good did time for us to canada. i have a whole lot of them other things that we didn't like can things that both like to see changed every day and these questions nobody went to the head a government and you can look it up we got an unsound from a lot so and so a lot since and you know it was quite good not to speak. the g.p.l. a continued through the time that their ships were stuck in the canal and this whole sorts of things organized via through the media that we had a limp big games being held in mexico 960 to think and so the pool ships decided to of a many ellen picks and of course they are going i guess that that whole last hole saw something.

below but as if you like the i'll give mine though because up there most of us mountain and thus the sense of them gives it some of the. want to avoid it i'll go. a motor quest come on mom. far from giving city people hope the bosy good other beyond your facade is good for them. that's what i was going. on for you did it's a fluke of slow hero medallion. and the capt is about mythology not myth of the from the of the of a dog and they go none of you have one go under but that's money in the middle job

you're not with the argument on the medallion given i'll supply golson. to some people wouldn't. i decided it was a put on circle would people not be able to be. on the medallion for a time. when they started this g b l e mail home with a little bit difficult at times for the crew on there developed some stumps the idea was that we did not belong to israel but didn't belong to egypt who had a community on our own and this was trying to set an identity we had a little in stamps and over the years there was hundreds if it was stumps developed by the could it was they were made initially just drawn by hand and the cadets on the ship would quit color them in their various colors with felt and bands would have a hand. but after that they're not nor my time we had we did them either on

a piece of a little linoleum all we did them on like i don't know is a robot with a cut that they could stomp them on to the ship and those stops were sent on to the mail going back to the u.k. and they became quite international a new one and a collector's item because of the fact that some of those stamps went just white america celia all of them britain germany france using those stamps which were homemade we would never show any show off if the mail would go home just using those. so there's 2 other ways we did it we put on egyptian stamps as well along with our own stamps and gyptian authorities would frank the us and send them on down gyptian postal authorities or we would put on a g.b. l e stamps and then give them to do a crew member who was going to germany all the states whatever and he would push

them at home. fast forward 6 years egypt and syria decided to launch a 2 fronted coordinated attack to regain the territory they lost in 1970. the arab israeli war of a tobar $973.00 saw egyptian forces crossing the suez canal and re entering this

sinai peninsula shipping companies had been denied access to the suez canal watched events unfold with interest with egypt in control of both banks of the canal they saw positive signs that the waterway would after 6 years of closure finally be reopened. sailors in the 14 ships of the yellow fleet could only watch on hoping the canal would be reopened and their ships finally allowed to complete their journey however escape from their desert seclusion would take time engineers spent 2 years removing sunken barricades at both ends of the canal 80 years had also taken their toll on the ships and for the majority traveling under their own power would prove impossible only with the help of tugs and cranes could they be moved the exception was the 2 german ships on the 7th of june 1975 they

started their engines set a northerly course and set sail for homburg with their cargo of metal and minerals in doing so they set a record for the longest sea shipping voyage in history 80 years 3 months and 5 days. ship or digger. this. from an out when the where of the minster learned. of there not been. these 1st in mind. to be divided 50 or so of 40 below it and then by degrees out soem of. the. of them 5th. niemand of them shift vs m. d a radar in. the piece at some the sun stuart van seen

a dangerous environment. to turn the dangerous environment into one where we could have recreation and to a certain extent enjoy sales force an experience not to be missed and i would not mest be in the suez canal under any circumstances either greatly to my life and i think it helped to make me as a person. has
