a growing number of vessels have been forced to drop anchor while they wait to travel through the series can now because of destruction are expected to run into the billions of dollars. lawrence brennan is a retired u.s. navy captain he says the canal is closer has put many ship owners in a difficult situation. there are other ships that had scheduled or planned to transit the canal both through the mediterranean and and through the red sea. to prevent owners and operators may delay decision as to where to go to determine if this is going to be a couple more days or a couple more weeks or longer the economic implications are in the billions of dollars and it's more complicated as things stand because a lot of the losses are delayed losses without physical damage that imply implicates particular admiralty rule bills that may prevent innocent parties from recovering their damages from the shipowner's the 1st and foremost thing for the

ship owners is to see what happens and it may not be for another week and the title changes before things happen the other is to see if there's any further damage photographs from yesterday show the ship part aground at the bat and that the stern is afloat and that could could possibly emphasizing possibly cause additional damage to the ship if this ship were to break in a half and could not be reflected is is and removed that would be a long term blockage of the canal in its present position the un rights envoy for me is calling for an emergency summit to discuss the military's violent crackdown on antic a demonstrations and these 4 people have been killed on thursday. medical workers and l g b t activists in myanmar have now joined the protests health care stuff wearing white

crackdown on the media and on my news service base in central media says 4 that staff members were detained on wednesday night while this is taking place we know that international pressure on myanmar is also building up the u.s. has now put 2 military controlled conglomerates on its blacklist so these sanctions will no doubt be welcomed by people who oppose the coup in myanmar but we should still be i think be realistic that the generals may find a way to circumvent these sanctions they've had decades of practice while the country was run by the met by a military dictatorship while it was an international pariah of being able to circumvent sanctions so you know while the sanctions are welcome they may not be enough to stop what's happening in myanmar. people in the indian state of ms or m are welcoming migrants who fled the in myanmar the government however is

ordering their deportation hundreds of people have crossed the border including police officers and soldiers who say they fled because they were ordered to open fire on pro-democracy protesters india correspondent elizabeth cohen and reports. holding up the 3 finger salute that's become a symbol of resistance in myanmar the soldier looks towards the country he's left behind have chosen not to reveal his identity he says he fled his military camp in myanmar after weeks of being ordered to shoot at protesters. and when it i can no longer tolerate killing my own people innocent people i did not want to hurt them anymore the main reason was i did not support the military regime i hate the junta the former soldier is one of many army and police officers from myanmar who are taking refuge in the north east an indian border state of misrata at least 400 people are thought to have crossed the poorest border into the town of

champigny in the past 3 weeks they are being looked after by locals. many of them came with no money and some of them with families the needs of these refugees were provided by the church of the socio the n.g.o.s. a student leader helping the new arrivals says most people seeking shelter in me belong to the chin ethnic group and have close ties with the people here a brother would be to the people of myanmar. and these are all starts even before bar my view of what independence and assets. would make a wall between the brotherhood of. the indian government has ordered the 4 northeastern states bordering myanmar to immediately identify and deport what it calls illegal migrants the soldier who says he walked for 2 weeks to reach me what i am told is that would be a death sentence for i think they'll shoot me in the head to execute me. mr arms

leader agrees chief ministers or i'm talking to has told prime minister narendra modi india can't ignore what he called the humanitarian crisis unfolding in our own backyard given the historical ties between the people of means that are in myanmar it appears some have chosen to resist the central government's orders elizabeth piron of al-jazeera new delhi. foreign ministers of france germany and italy have held talks with their libyan counterparts in the capital tripoli they held the formation of the nearly sworn in unity government earlier this month and promised support for elections in december that is in turn foreign minister. called for an end to the violence in order to cheap stability does that mean we started to try to g.o.p. which it was that with the new year the foreign ministry of the government of national unity the visit by the european delegation he did by france germany and italy it seems a message to all libyans europe is in support of our country here i'd like to reiterate

a number of issues stability in libya is a positive factor not only to libya but all neighboring countries libya's territorial integrity and sovereignty as a principle beyond any negotiation and will be achieved by the national unity government we also reiterate that all foreign fighters and mercenaries be driven out of our home soil based on these principles we discuss the following issues 1st to immediately resume the tasks of diplomatic missions embassies and consulates and sickened to reboost confidence in all state institutions and private sectors in order to restart the economy and bring it back on its feet. china is live for us in tripoli malik it's worth pointing out that some of these countries were in opposite sides during the libyan conflict now they are here together what is the significance of that. well that's right italy and france have been known to have quite quite some tension in their stance as in libya but i think this

shows is a big sign of support for libya's new unity government it's a sign of unity among the e.u. and i think in general that there's a consensus consensus among the international community for the conflict to end in libya and for the country to begin its roadmap to elections later on this year now we heard as you heard national among goosed libya's 1st female foreign minister saying that libyan a 3 man foreign fighters and mercenaries leave the country according to the u.n. support mission there's over 20000 foreign mercenaries and fighters in the country now this isn't this isn't a new demand according to the cease fire agreement and that was signed in geneva in october that tip you laid that foreign fighters had 3 months to leave the country that deadline has passed and passed in january and january and that didn't really

pan out so talks have been reinitiated among the 5 plus 5 military commission those are u.n. military facilitated talks there is they met past week concert to discuss implementing mechanisms to force these foreign fighters out of the country now. the new agreement states that the foreign fighters will have to 1st move towards the eastern city of benghazi and tripoli before exiting the country and the u.n. is send is going to be sending in a monitoring team to to observe and monitor the implementation of the cease fire now among among the other tracks there is the the political track it's been a long road to get here. but that's also a parallel to that have been the economic the economic tract we saw in january

the u.n. was able to bring the divided institutions together the war the libyan central bank was able to unify they came up with. a united currency. value for the libyan dinar so that's believed to help in the process of building up libya's libya's institutions many thanks for that malik china live in tripoli soldiers in mozambique have launched an offensive after a rebel finds his way to the northern town of palma forcing residents to flee pummel was considered a safe haven around $70000.00 people fled there from other places it's also the base for offshore gas exploration projects with some 60000000000 dollars groups lengths eisel have launched similar attacks in the region since 2070. well wind up with something really cool you know he also called on the population to collaborate

a little bit of cloud in play at the moment on the satellite picture but that will ease the way some of those showers there will be wintry in nature over the high ground and too much to speak of in tokyo fairing quite nicely 22 celsius winds will fall lighter as we go through the weekend so rude will feel lovely and spring like we got some what's the weather coming into central parts of china meanwhile a little run across the side of the country through the yellow sea the east china sea pushing up towards the korean peninsula so much of south korea north korea will see some wet weather that's not the case for japan was for tonight lovely 20 celsius there in tokyo 20 degrees is $68.00 in found high sunshine is showers as per usual across much of southeast asia some heavy showers there around borneo for time in tunisia seeing some sharp showers to me push up towards the light peninsula so again some showers here and i shall join up with the show is that we have a running towards for lanka some of them on the shop side from time to time

elsewhere across south asia is fine and dry and could touch 40 degrees and i'm at about. jumped into the story there was a lot going on in this show and julian on global community when i thought of all the misinformation i think we are more afraid than we are aware be part of the debate don't ever take anybody's one word because there's always a difference when no topic is off the table we have been disconnected from our land we have been disconnected from who we are and would love to hear from you in each week be part of today's discussion this stream on out is there on. the eve. of the.

l.a. you're watching out is there a mind of our top stories this hour egypt's syria's canal for she says it's suspended traffic through the waterway while tugboat work to free a strong that ship has been blocking the southern stretch of the busy shipping lane for 2 days. the u.n. is calling for an emergency summit on myanmar the death toll there continues to rise at least 4 people have been killed on thursday medical workers and l g b t activists have now joined and 2 protests. soldiers in mozambique have launched an offensive after rebel fighters raided the northern town of palma forcing residents to flee pama was considered a safe haven around 70000 people fled from other places. tensions are rising on the korean peninsula off to north korea launched 2 ballistic missiles off its eastern coast it's the 1st significant provocation by pyongyang since u.s.

president joe biden took office in january. they were launched from north korea's south pound young province into the sea of japan the u.s. pacific command says the move threatens countries in the region south korea and japan have expressed deep concern and condemnation of pyongyang's actions. so you know here you are it is a threat to our country and to regional security it's also of violations of the united nations security council resolution will strictly protest and condemn their actions because i'm determined to closely cooperate with the united states south korea and other related nations to protect the lives of our people. mcbride has more from seoul. for the past couple of years since the denuclearization talks have stalled north korea has returned to kind of carry on developing its weapons arsenal but it's been very careful largely to avoid these provocative but listed missile

test which of which of course are banned under un resolutions it has instead been firing off and testing weapons systems rockets which are permitted under u.n. rules and we saw that just this last weekend with the firing of 2 lesser cruise missiles now these are weapons it is allowed to test and this was seen as in fact the 1st weapons test to confront the new incoming biden administration and the white house largely ignored it well it's far harder for president biden to avoid but listing missiles as always with north korea it is often about timing and yes later thursday we have president joe biden's 1st full news conference so this will ensure of course that north korea will be front and center at that event he cannot avoid commenting on it from the region we have already had comments condemnation from japan and also from chunky young south korea's foreign minister that has been

his expression of disapproval. expressed deep concerns over north korea's latest firing of what appears to be short range ballistic missiles amid our government's various efforts to achieve the goal of complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula. now this is an important time of course with a new administration in the us north korea often chooses moments like this to test out the incoming administration but we just had the secretary of state antony blinken visiting northeast asia to formulate the u.s. strategy towards north korea and there was a feeling that north korea would wait and see to exceed what exactly that strategy looks like before responding wouldn't do anything provocative well this test thursday looks like it could be a change of heart a change of direction and this could well be north korea deciding it has nothing to

lose and now is the time to round put pressure on the u.s. and white house correspondent kelly hellcats has the reaction from washington d.c. . senior administration officials are watching this very carefully and what they're saying is that at least with the initial activity that occurred over the weekend this was felt to be within what they called the normal spectrum or menu of provocations by north korea in other words that they believe that when this message was to be sent to the administration u.s. administration that this is the type of activity that can be expected by north korea whether it be a launch of a ballistic missile submarine launch or even nuclear tests what the conclusion has been from senior administration officials is that the activity thus far has been what they call the low end of the spectrum having said that the path forward remains unclear and that's why so many will be watching to see what president biden

says at his press conference we know that right now senior administration officials in the realm of security are consulting not only with their partners in the region but also former tromp administration officials what they know is that they need to really try and come up with some sort of a message or solution and they know that when it comes to trying to find a solution this is a problem that has stymied not just republicans but also democratic administrations alike for years so still unclear what the official position will be moving forward all we know is that it is under consultation under review with u.s. partners and allies. european union leaders are discussing pandemic strategies amid pressure of a coven 19 vaccine shortages and a potential 3rd wave they are considering to vaccine exports to the united kingdom

person has received more than 10000000 doses from plants inside the e.u. but has exported no vaccines back to the block it comes after astra zeneca slightly downgraded the efforts of the casy of its corona virus vaccine to 76 percent let's go to worry chalons he's live from outside of vaccine hub in brighton in the united kingdom so this. is virtual meeting is under way have we got any updates from it yet. nor year i mean what we know is that these member states essentially going to be talking about tightening up export controls more specifically targeted at the united kingdom but generally to try to shore up their own vaccine supply is make sure that this kind of response that the european union is had when it comes to vaccines can be improved and.

electorates across many countries can become somewhat they're going into a 3rd wave in many countries. people in the europe are looking across the channel at the u.k. which is at a much faster back seat rollouts more than half of the adult population here has been vaccinated so far in the european union it's only 10 percent and what they're trying to show to their people is that if push comes to shove. they can look at vaccine exports to particular countries and say ok we're in that destination country do they have enough vaccines already is the situation with infections more or less under control or more than it is in europe and if those cases are. in the affirmative then they might be able to say ok we're not going to have that vaccine. now the big question with all this of course which is that does

that actually make a difference to this is and it's not clear that it does because the blocking of vaccines to go outside of the e.u. doesn't necessarily mean that he can actually take control of those vaccines from the drug makers and redistribute them amongst their own citizens and it's also of course a bit of a nuclear option and there are lots of people looking at this from around the world and thinking it's not a good route for the e.u. to go down now indeed could there be any wider implications of any that seen exports imitations i mean is there a possibility of trade wars for example. well i mean certainly that specter is is rising you have boris johnson the prime minister of the u.k. warning the e.u. against vaccine nationalism saying that it shouldn't go for any kind of blockade option of course the u.k. wants to safeguard its own supplies it would say things like that but there are

concerns coming from further afield as well there are concerns coming from the drug manufacturers not just about. the doses themselves but also the supply of raw materials that actually go into these vaccines which often cross into and out of the european union and i think there's a growing fear in capitals around the world that this thing this argument might gum up the supply of vaccines for lots of different countries outside of the european union and outside of the united kingdom and also the might be stockpiling from the drug manufacturers of the constituent parts of the vaccines the rule and the rule materials. which again would would slow down the road lots of vaccine programs across the world many thanks for that warry challenge talking to us from bryce in the united kingdom a recent study published in the lancet says 40 of the 55 african union county have

experienced the 2nd wave of covert 1000 infections the director of africa center for disease control says he's concerned restrictions on vaccine exports proposed by the e.u. and india could lead to a 3rd surge of infections. as a country in a truly few headless. men who feel that this attrition is going to significantly impact you to fight is that we have gone through 2 waves of the virus the 1st we have on the 2nd we and nothing is straight you see that base under study 6 that i just shared is going in that we had it in 2 was it that we and without rapid access to vaccines we challenge continue to be challenge life would be lost. i cannot miss you continue to struggle. health authorities in somalia say the country is in a 2nd wave of kevin 1000 faction's cases arising and more than 300 people have died

from the virus in the last 2 weeks but without an official system for tracking mortality it's difficult to know the exact numbers catherine reports. this is the main cemetery in mogadishu and it's filling up fast mostly with people who say to have died from 1000 complications. this family is just the latest to buy a loved one. so mali is struggling to deal with a 2nd wave of covered $1000.00 cases but health experts say with limited testing and data collection it's hard to know the true extent of the pandemic here. for the past 2 months just over a 1000 people not all of them have died of the disease but these are numbers we've never witnessed before the pandemic. hospitals like de martini and isolation center are also overwhelmed and oxygen is running out. somalia has one of the world's most

vulnerable health systems the world health organization says just about a quarter of somalia's 15000000 population can access basic health care doctors are worried the situation is getting worse the machine. people do not believe in the existence of the covenant in the virus in somalia once they get sick if misused traditional medicines to solve it by the time they are coming to the hospital they are critically ill. the government has ruled out a vaccination program health workers the elderly and people with underlying conditions are getting their fast dose of the astra zeneca vaccine under the un backed cosmetics initiative the government hopes to vaccinate at least 20 percent of its population as soon as possible. but despite the severity of the situation and forcing how 3 strictures has been difficult these are some of the city's

popular cafeterias people are reluctant to socially distance or where are mosque on the 1st and foremost we are muslims and a religion tells us that when people become very sinful some unknown diseases will spread around the world only god can protect his people. apart from the pandemic somalis also continue to face the threat of violence from al-shabaab a humanitarian crisis caused by recent flooding and a desert. infestation that has left around 2600000 without enough food. sama hoping the vaccinations will help prevent new infections but with only a fraction of the population able to access medical help their fee is things might get catherine saw. in turkey we good muslims are protesting the visit of the chinese foreign minister whiny held talks with his turkish counterpart never
