turned away from the appearance and heard them into a school against their will there was no mother no father figures they put is a big player in lease or loot look after ourselves i don't remember the children's names. you can't it is dark secret announces era. a shipping mishap with global consequences the suits come out still blocked by a large container ship that's stuck. hello again on come out santa maria here in doha this is the world news from al-jazeera with its relatively low 'd the vaccination rate e.u. leaders meeting to try to figure out whether to limit vaccine exports come at a price that much more migrants arrive at the southern us border the white house is

searching for a way to manage the crisis and the suspect in the shooting deaths of $10.00 people at a colorado supermarket appears in court for the 1st time. so we've got one of the world's biggest container ships stuck in one of the world's most crucial waterways and it's created one giant problem egypt's so is canal or thora he has now suspended the traffic through the waterway while tugboats tug boats work to dislodge the congo ship but it's fear that that could take up to several weeks and charles stratford now reports. 400 metres long and weighing 200000 tons stuck in what's often described as the most important shipping lane in the world a maritime accident with global implications the ever given container ship became

wedged across the suez canal and choose day when high winds blew her off course about 12 percent of global trade passes through the 193 kilometer long canal which connects the red sea with the mediterranean providing the shortest link between asia and europe the vessel carrying around $20000.00 containers is registered in panama are operated by the taiwanese transport company evergreen marine it was sailing from china to the port city of rotterdam in the netherlands when it got stuck the japanese owner has apologized but says the situation is extremely difficult and there's a citizen that will present the traffic along this year's canal has been disrupted due to the incident and local authorities are working under the issue using tugboats but there is no smith of time for it to be dissolved this image posted on a ship tracking website shows the backlog of at least $150.00 vessels stuck in the northern entrance of the canal at ports 8 in the middle in an area called the bitter lakes and at the southern entrance at sue is the vast majority of oil from

the gulf is transported to europe along the canal oil prices rose sharply on thursday. industry experts are warning of a flood of insurance claims covering the vast amount of cargo being held up including automotive palms and consumer goods but ships and officials say at least 8 tug boats are trying to dislodge the vessel which experts say could take days if not weeks well the few days of course is very very costly each day and people have made estimates of $3810000000000.00 of trade going through the suez canal absolutely fundamental for europeans applying chains it's not just about oil it's just as important the goods coming from the far east china and so on china number one trade with the european union containers may have to be offloaded in order to lessen the wait ships now face the prospect of having to travel thousands of additional kilometers around the southern tip of africa

a huge cost and potentially delaying delivery of goods by weeks it's a cork in a bottle and there's no way to go and as you've described the ships there are stuck throughout the canal and at the north and are in a precarious position and they name may not be able just to turn around and take another course as long as it and expensive as it is to go from the mediterranean around africa and vice versa the suez canal thora he says around $20000.00 ships pass through the canal last year egypt billions of dollars in total fee revenue the ever given is $1.00 of the largest container ships in the world but for every hour and every day it remains stuck on a reef and stationary there are concerns about the financial fallout and impact on global trade chance not that al-jazeera.

european union leaders are discussing pandemic strategies the growing pressure over covert 19 vaccine shortages and a potential 3rd wave considering curbing vaccine exports says member states are struggling to find ways to stop the spread of the virus before more vaccines can actually arrive this comes as several countries belgium italy in poland for example which have now gone back into lockdown so here's natasha butler in paris to take us through this virtual meeting that is i understand natasha is there is there some sort of consensus going into it. well. in a virtual summit as you say once again one that is completely dominated by the current virus pandemic vaccines so any top of the agenda the leaders will be talking about how to try and reduce the amount of doses in the year they'll be talking about the vaccine rollout which has been desperately snow in many countries

and they will of course also be debating this proposal by a commission to try and block or tighten controls on some exports of vaccines abroad now what the e.u. says the head of the commission i savant to lead says is absolutely unfair that is the. vaccines are something one way street she says but if you take criticism of britain as an example the use exposed to 10000000 doses to britain but hasn't received any doses in return she says that is not a reasonable situation particularly not when the e.u. so desperately needs a vaccine doses because so many countries are battling a 3rd wave here now you leaders are pretty much divided on the issue of this export ban if you like there are some countries france and italy for example who do support it they believe that it is a way to try and force pharmaceutical companies to make sure doses are being

properly delivered within the you all the countries of the netherlands island far more cautious they don't want to see the broader any sort of a vaccine war and there are some politicians who are saying look this is just the e.u. commission really trying to ramp up the rhetoric to try and put pressure on these pharmaceutical companies to deliver the doses of the you say as they were contracted to do. in paris thank you for that update. now health officials in somalia so the country's in a 2nd wave of coverage 19 cases are rising more than 300 people have died from the virus in just the last 2 weeks but without an official system for tracking deaths it is difficult to know the exact numbers this report is from catherine soy. 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

bury a loved one. so mali is struggling to deal with a 2nd wave of covered 1000 cases but health experts say with limited testing and data collection it's hard to know the true extent of the pandemic here if for the past 2 months we have 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. so malia 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 a machine. people do not believe in the existence of the covenant in 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. the government hope 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 our mosque on the 1st and foremost young muslims are religion tells us that when people become very sinful some are known businesses 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. locust infestation that has left around 2600000 without enough food so i'm 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 was katherine sawyer. a quick note on libya now foreign ministers from france germany and italy of held talks with the libyan counterpart in tripoli hailing the formation of the newly sworn in unity government early this month and promising support for elections in december but is in turn foreign minister national congress called for an end to the violence in order to achieve stability to 7 was added to. the foreign ministry of the government of national unity this visit by the european delegation hated by france germany and italy it sends a message to all libyans europe is in support of our country here i'd like to

world which. sneeze into your oh wow. here with al-jazeera these are our top stories egypt sue is thora he is suspended traffic through one of the world's busiest shipping lanes salvage teams have been trying to dislodge a massive ship they say could take days or even weeks. meeting virtually for a summit dominated by vaccine distribution and a looming 3rd wave of blocked discussing whether to ban exports of vaccines. and foreign ministers from france germany italy have helped talks with the libyan

counterpart in tripoli hailing the formation of the newly sworn in unity government earlier this month and promising support for elections in december. u.s. president joe biden has appointed vice president cameras to manage the steady arrival of asylum seekers at the southern border members of congress have been visiting emergency facilities that have been reopened recently as of the growing outcry from those images which revealed over crowded in makeshift conditions at a texas center and so it's not like sandwiches around here. from one of the one of them are going to grill us of everything we have given money to really haven't taken our kids or rushed to the water. for grocery this is peter ryan we want to be. one of the ways we learn is that. if you deal with the problems you country. people.

here are our correspondent. in mexico the southern side of the border will be with you shortly i want to start with she ever turns it over in texas almost exactly an hour now until joe biden gives his 1st news conference and i guess it's the events in a facility like that one behind you which will form a lot of that conference. i'm trying to get updated figures as to how many people are actually packed into the tents behind me here in texas we knew of the weekend it was 1500 percent overcapacity with documented children in the last day the government started opening up military facilities now not good enough for space aside on tonio texas the. listener in el paso 500-5000 kids are supposed to be sent that 300 bed house the lack of that was made again no facilities meant the children were trying to understand how the

flow is actually working as a result of all of that all of that but it be nice when joe biden says questions in his press conference whether he'll be honest. with you now change american policy instead of spending successive democratic and republican administrations have billions of dollars 55000000000 dollars just in the last 12 years on military contract does in washington d.c. maryland and virginia who are. putting high tech military equipment on the border to prevent migrants who always seem to come anyway why not spend the money on humane facilities on a bureaucracy that can process children and get them into the arms of their guardians and family in the u.s. 80 percent of i can see how the family and guardians in the u.s. what is going to go to the region is she now going to just do the same old stuff that joe biden did when he was vice president he had the same job which is put it put forward private sector solutions for inequality which don't work they just tend to build sweat shops in central america and mexico which tend to get into profits

multinational corporations great bonus of the democrats and the republicans and when the inequality increases and people start complaining u.s. military equipment is there and isn't used to put those rebellions down are they going to stop that and put things into humane solutions to migration will stop overthrowing central american governments who do try and address inequality and redistribute wealth when barack obama was president job. biden vice president in honduras 2009 democratically elected said reggae finally we're going to redistribute wealth u.s. multinationals honduran business oligarchies barack obama helped overthrow him on juries has been in chaos ever since a big number of think of the undocumented migrants coming to the border all from honduras and most importantly the whole narrative is skewed right now yes we have a spike in an undocumented children coming to the border but biden has kept the most draconian measures from the from the trump administrative title 42 which is not allowing anyone else to cross the border to get due process seek asylum seeker

refugee status if they are fleeing persecution persecution and violence so when is he going to stop doing that when he's going to get back into the international norms the humanitarian norms the legal norms that america is supposed to be abiding by be nice if we got those questions they're probably going to your questions about whether he's being too soft. and that's coming up as i say in just under an hour's time and we'll have live coverage dan thank you she has a south of the border in the now here's my. mexico and maybe just paint the picture for us of what's going on behind you. sure will set the scene for you a little bit we're at it shot but out of a really just a very short distance from the us mexico border a stone so you might say and behind me what you can see just to give you a sense of what this is this is a migrant camp that popped up a little more than a month ago we've been told by people here that it's comprised mostly of central american migrants many of them from honduras many of them from guatemala but we

really do have quite the mix of migrants here many are haitian nationals some colombian nationals cubans there are quite a few people here from southern mexico states like chiapas and the haka people who are fleeing violence who have been displaced people who are fleeing extortion and the sense that we get from the people that we've been speaking to over the course of the last couple of days is that everyone that's here at this camp right now is waiting for something they may not know exactly what they're waiting for but what they're hoping for is that u.s. authorities are going to see this camp or go to the u.s. authorities go to hear their voices and give them an opportunity to seek asylum on the other side of the border spoken to people here who have been staying at this camp at this point for more than a month now who say that that they're willing to stay here for as long as it takes for the united states to recognize and hear their pleas for asylum but many people are starting to grow desperate they're saying that they're considering crossing

illegally taking their chances on the other side of the border citing desperation saying that they're unwilling to return to their homes but they're also getting tired of the conditions at this camp which we should note are quite precarious now there is a narrative that we should be challenging which is this idea that unaccompanied minors that. make their way into the united states are somehow going to be allowed to stay there or be processed by u.s. authorities but what we've seen over the past few days going up and down the us mexico border is a slow trickle of migrants every day including miners including individuals that are under the age of 18 so that is a narrative that should be challenge here now there's a whole another narrative not only the united states but here in mexico as well that somehow this reversal of trumping era policies like the migrant protection protocols by the by the administration is somehow being interpreted by by migrants here on the mexican side of the border as an open invitation to come and try their luck at the border but that's not what we're hearing from people here on the ground

we've heard story after story heartbreaking tales of people who are displaced by 2 back to back hurricanes that slapped into slammed into central america last year people who are fleeing extortion in guatemala people who are have been displaced in mexico from violence linked to the cartel at least good new generation and what they're saying to us overwhelmingly is what they want is an opportunity to plead their asylum cases to u.s. border authorities thank you manuel that up with that story from mexico. now the county judge in the u.s. state of colorado has ordered a man accused of committing a mass shooting to be held without bail while the undergoes a mental health assessment. accused of opening fire on a supermarket in boulder city's made his 1st court appearance facing 10 counts of murder and one charge of attempted murder the 2nd mass shooting in a week in the united states resulting in job bombing calling for

a ban again on assault weapons in los angeles tell us more about the court appearance. well the suspect was brought into words in a wheelchair he was wounded in the leg during the shooting on monday which he allegedly here. doubt 40 to prosecutors he was expressionless wore a mask presumably for. protection from code 19 and appeared alert but he did not speak during the hearing. to lisa's age 21 years old he's been charged as you mentioned kemal with 10 counts of 1st degree murder and a prosecutor told the judge today that more charges would be brought against alyssa pending complete recovery of all evidence from the crime scene the judge sent a status hearing 60 to 90 days from now after

a modest. attorney said that she needed time that the defense team needed time to quote assess his mental illness the suspect will be held without bond without bail during that time period there's been no motive ascribed to monday's mass killings at a boulder colorado supermarket but of. family members and former high school classmates of the subject say that he was prone to sometimes violent outbursts of rage and also some apparent paranoid behavior believing that unknown people were were following him or observing him so it's quite possible that a. defense based on mental illness or insanity could be introduced when and if this case goes to trial. the shooting itself is one of the 1st major issue things that's happened in the usa in in in the for you should say to the 4 years of donald

trump someone who was obviously pro gun lobby he's probably 2nd amendment the fact that joe biden and the democrats are in power in washington do you think it will be a different discussion this time about assault weapons. i think it will be i think that there will be. the much more of a push in effect the senate majority leader charles schumer said that in april gun control would be on the agenda the talk is about banning assault rifles the semiautomatics the kind that the shooter in colorado allegedly used and also high capacity magazines and there's also legislation that has already passed the house of representatives that would expand background checks for gun buyers and close loopholes for people who buy guns at gun shows which normally does not require a background check so

a lot of sort of tightening up of some of the loopholes. now president biden has also endorsed these calls he said that something has to be done his attitude towards this is very different from that of his predecessor and i'm sure that we'll hear some questions being asked of president biden at his press conference later today which of course we will be carrying live. ok thank you rob reynolds in los angeles. to mozambique now where soldiers have launched an offensive after rebel fighters raided the northern town of palma forcing residents to flee the was considered a safe haven and 70000 people actually fled there from other places it is also the base for offshore gas exploration projects worth about $60000000000.00 on groups linked to i still have launched similar attacks in the region since 2017. bellied up with something to do with what we also call on the population to collaborate with the authorities denouncing ted it is and men for then utilization the defense

a very stark warning of the situation in myanmar he says if there isn't an international response that is full and united conditions in myanmar will do terrorists and he warned that there could be a very dramatic increase in the loss of lives and n.g.o.s that's been tracking the number of fatalities as well as the arrests since the coup on the 1st of february says that 2900 people have been arrested or charged sentenced and nearly $300.00 people have been killed since the 1st of february now the military is also continuing its 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 them that 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. u.n. secretary general antonio terra says he is concerned by the 2 police missiles that were launched off north korea's east coast it was the 1st significant provocation by pyongyang since u.s. president joe biden took office in january they were launched from north korea's south how myung province into the sea near japan u.s. pacific command says the move threatens countries in the region south korea and japan both expressed deep concern and condemnation of pyongyang actions. we expressed deep concerns over north korea's latest firing of what appears to be
