9:07 pm
disobedience newman has paralyzed lots of economy in the civil service and lots and lots of people across ethnic religious and other divides have come together against the military so it seems now that they're using today to show well we're strong and we can control and control the nation but this idea that they could hold elections and get legitimacy in the population who says it's a ghost so far we've seen people who can be incredibly resilient we have especially seeing among the young people say 'd we would rather die than live under democracy so i think there's still a lot of energy. there's still a lot of push to mobilize and organize but at the same time we're also seeing people leaving the cities people who are not a ritually from big cities like going back to their rule areas we also see more and more people moving into the border areas that is the border areas where some of the ethnic groups that we mentioned before have nominal control have sort of paralleled
9:08 pm

insurgents intermittently ambushing remote actually shrouds and isolating poem our local dissatisfaction and again security forces and nearly out the insurgents the opportunity to proceed work gaining a momentous victory against the government i for see sadly to say and it's a human tragedy beyond believe that defect speak for themselves i feel i foresee things as we have seen now in pommel to proceed this if is the question and the labor of poor nation tells me that we are experts in graphite dean trading these fighters being involved in directing and i do foresee that the decks as we have seen confined to nagar be more somewhat of a pariah bulma due to the rain season that is coming to an end when the game starts
9:11 pm
spreading south and i am worried that move weird hour will be the next target of attack b. is no u.-turn the is no quick fix the insurgency is directing the momentum and they simply no end in sight iran and china have signed a 25 year cooperation pact the chinese foreign minister wang isn't meeting the iranian foreign minister divides a reef and president hassan rouhani the deal is set to have political economic and strategic components iran's economy has suffered under u.s. sanctions after washington withdrew from the 2015 nuclear agreement with china remains a part as a bank has more from the iranian capital. increasingly iran has been turning to russia and china especially since the former us president donald trump imposed sanctions on iran sanctions are still in place today but this visit does come a time where china has reportedly stepped up its purchase of direct oil sales for
9:12 pm
from iran and also this is the highest chinese official that's visited iran since the election of president joe biden in january so both politically and economically iran has been turning to russia and china and back last year in october when the united states and the president donald trump was planning to put forth a motion to the united nations to stop an arms embargo being lifted the foreign ministry here told us that their understanding was and that they were confident that russia and china would intervene with a veto but this deal does have some does have some critics inside the country even though it's been backed by the highest authority the supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei now the former president mahmoud ahmadinejad said that the details of this deal have not been made available to the public and the squid not be really passed by parliament but there were also rumors that iran would be handing over control of some of its islands to china and. have denied that this that there's nothing inside
9:13 pm
the deal that gives any country control of islands or chinese military forces presence in the country but it does have widespread political support inside this country and it's a way for iran to be independent and build a country in an economy that is sanctions resilient. well china and iran's relations with the united states are at an all time low there were tense moments last week in alaska and chinese and u.s. officials exchanged sharp rebuke during their 1st meetings and joe biden came to office and iran is hardening its stance towards the u.s. and the european signatories of the 2015 nuclear accord it once u.s. sanctions which have devastated its economy removed before it hold talks to revive the agreements the 25 year deal with beijing is the 1st such long term agreement for its iran and it comes ahead of polls in june to pick a successor to president hassan rouhani adamy is the director of the china policy center and he says sanctions will be an incentive for both iran and china to make
9:14 pm
the cooperation pact a success. both beijing and her all have a number of reasons for wanting to still given the current international environment it's taken some years to get this deal done 1st geopolitically both countries are looking for partners to work with both on the fair bit of pressure from the united states as we know china's relation with the us has deteriorated significantly in recent years shitty competition has escalated and president biden is rightly u.s. allies and partners in an effort to call a policy against china so better relations between china and us is not on the horizon in fact competitions like to deepen and for iran of course has also been a significant political comic pressure from the u.s. and others especially on the trump initiation so in fact both are looking for partners to strengthen the hand of the void diplomatic and strategic isolation beijing is looking for ways to increase trade with non-western countries make foreign investment as part of its building own initiative and importantly secure its energy resources and sea lanes of trade and energy supply so for iran trade
9:15 pm
with china investments in chinese companies and importantly the extra teeth in technology that china can bring to its collaboration with iran a pretty big you sentence and these incentives have being amplified because of the sanctions put to morehead on the al-jazeera news hour including best interest to sponsor the export to cover 1000 vaccines or 2nd wave brings us surgery for infections and brazil's worrying coronavirus trends an alarming increase in infections among young people. who wails finally get their hands on the 6 nations trophy not stories coming up a little later with german sports. news but 1st more protests are being held in parts of the u.s. to condemn a recent rise in acts of violence against asian americans. rallies like this one in new york are demanding an end to asian hate earlier this month 6
9:16 pm
women. of asian descent were killed in a shooting in atlanta the incident calls fear among the asian american community which has been increasingly targeted during the coronavirus pandemic hardy's or castro's joining us from washington d.c. where protests are taking place what's planned for today heidi. well the rain organizers are calling this a national day of action we're seeing those images coming in from new york city there are also anti asian hate rallies planned today in los angeles and of course here washington d.c. the nation's capital and this is the chinatown neighborhood the iconic chinatown gate behind me and underneath it we're seeing the groups of protesters who have already gathered they have been coming here quite quite regularly since those horrific shootings in georgia that you mentioned which killed 8 people 6 of whom were women of asian descent and the organizers have been coming here last weekend
9:17 pm
as well as this weekend because even as those victims in georgia are being laid to rest today this weekend the continued attacks on asian americans across the country continue to rise and we've seen those captured on surveillance video old people getting pushed down others being slashed in the face apparently unprovoked attacks happening on the streets which is indeed terrifying the asian american community the group stop a.p.i. hate has has has received reports of more than $3800.00 hate motivated attacks against asian americans in this last year and their organizers are putting the blame squarely at the feet of former president donald trump with his rhetoric were guarding the coronavirus plane blaming putting blame of the pandemic at china's feet using racial slurs to describe coded and the protesters here say that laid the
9:18 pm
groundwork for the via. that unfolded in georgia that took so many lives and for the continued escalation of unprovoked attacks against asians and they want a stop to it. how do we explain the reluctance among some police to classify the attacks against asians as hate crimes. right and particularly that shooting in georgia that has not come to hate crime charges regarding the suspected shooter he's been charged with murder though police have not ruled out hate crime charges in the future and part of the problem there is that the discrimination against asian americans in the united states is deeply ingrained but until recently it's been little talked about it's not something that public schools are required to teach in most states i don't like discrimination against other ethnic groups but if you look at the american history there's the chinese exclusion act of 882 that barred chinese people from entering the country
9:19 pm
and of course the interment camps during world war 2 that targeted american citizens of japanese ancestry and then as recently as the eighty's when a chinese man was lynched in detroit his 2 assailants both white men did not even serve time in jail for that man's murder and so these activists say enough is enough with the coronavirus and again the rhetoric that former president from promoted they say that really tipped the scale and they continue to come out to the streets to protest saying that this hate against asian americans must end ok thank you so much for that update from washington d.c. . now in turkey protests have been held against the government's decision to withdraw from a european treaty to protect women. the 2011 is double convention signed by 45 countries and the e.u.

requires governments to take tougher action against domestic violence marital rape and female genital mutilation critics in turkey say the accord damages family unity encourages divorce and supports the movement it's egyptian authorities say they're doing everything possible to refloat a stranded cargo ship in this west canal but can't say for sure when it will happen the given has been weds diagonally across the crucial shipping route for 5 days 14 tug boats are involved in efforts to dislodge it including dredging to free the writer $321.00 cargo ships are waiting at either end of the canal for access bad weather was initially blamed for the stranding but officials now say human or technical error likely contributed. to his office in the senate it is. visible and as they say the operation is still underway as we speak. we manage to
9:21 pm
create a space. and we believe we will be able to have this shift back into operation by today let's go to lawrence brennan who's a retired u.s. navy captain and a professor admiralty an international maritime law at fordham law school he's joining us from new york thanks for speaking to us on al-jazeera so as you've been hearing and seeing i'm sure so far attempts to refloat the every given have been unsuccessful why do you think it's such a complicated mission. because of the size the location and the particularities of how the ship is waged across the channel in the suez canal the forward 3rd of the ship in a belt. 4 to 500 feet is firmly aground in a mix of sand and mud and we've seen those classic photographs of someone trying to scoop out a bit of sand by the bulbous barrow starting day or 2 ago and the
9:22 pm
after end of the ship may be afloat reports today are that the stern has been cleared and the rudder and the screws the propellers have been open that's helpful but if 100 if 3 or 400 feet of the hole at the barrel are stuck in mud and sand that's a tremendous engineering problem of the ship that displaces twice as much water as the largest u.s. nuclear aircraft carrier oh ok so a ship thinking that's right so it digging the sand away and pulling the ship with tugs fails then to move the effort given what's the backup plan. well there it's a series of plans and i would suggest as i've said for a couple of days now that it's going to take a month or perhaps longer they need to lighten the ship which is to remove various things the person earliest ones and i'm surprised this hadn't begun before is to
9:23 pm
remove the bunker fuel the oil used by the ship to propel itself through a boil to lubricate the machinery and them with the water on board ship we also learned recently that there's been some water that has been in places in the ship in in tanks where it should have been we need to learn if that was a cause or result of the casualty but once that's done moving the ship from the strand is going to be difficult we have an example about 70 years ago when the u.s. battleship missouri ran aground in norfolk virginia it took over 3 weeks to break the stranding and to free the battleship and that ship was not wedged across the channel it was in the open waters. and they will ship shoals and what do you make of egyptian authorities now saying that weather conditions. were perhaps not the main reason for the shepherding aground and there may have been technical or human
9:24 pm
error. oh i think undoubtedly this is a synergy of fault and i'm not sure exactly what faults it was or combination but there appear to be human issues involved there could be other technical issues wind affects sale effect on a ship certainly is unknown factor whether that happened or not here is doubtful or questionable at least because the sister ship had no impact. at a time relatively close to this when it went through the canal also the pilots and the ship's crew should have been able to steer the charging electronics truck showing every given proceeding in the suez canal walks like a billiard ball bouncing off the side of the your table. primarily to the left to the west as it ascends and then eventually the ship seems to lose total control and about ants further to the north and to the east and that's where it becomes
9:25 pm
wedge becoming waged is the most difficult of situations because a the channel isn't as wide as it appears in the photographs and b. it's like having a straw or in a paper cup that children play with where once it gets wedged across it's really difficult to remove it and whether you put your fingers down to pick it out or not you find that the 2 ends don't move themselves at the same time the fact that the 2 ends are stuck is more difficult and by italy the ship is partially aground partially upload the ship will move with the tides that's a that could induce a bending moment and that can present a major risks of the whole of the ship as remote as say it is that would be a catastrophic disaster if the whole were to fail particularly if the louvin fuel oil remained on board thank you so much lawrence brennan for speaking to us from the u.s. thank you. thank you for including me. well

9:39 pm
a concert for 5000 people in a covert 1000 experiments they want to see how well they can prevent the virus from spreading at large events concert goers must present a negative covert test taken that day and wear face masks a similar events was held in madrid in december that speak to oksana hezekiah's a senior lecturer in global health advisor at the university college london school of pharmacy joining us from london thanks for your time. so do you support these types of controlled experiments and how effective do you think they are. yes i think this is actually really important to better understand how economies that you have high rates of vaccination should move forward with any. confined space so this type of experience is not the 1st we've seen similar again back in december we had a similar experience again in barcelona with 500 people in 300000 equally also
9:40 pm
in berlin and germany and this is all going to be critical in terms of understanding exactly how we can provide interventions that keep people safe journey and pandemic when we know of course the rest of the world is lacking access to vaccines so in one sense this is a plan forward is the way to ensure ready economies can recover in the short term but we also need to keep one eye about everything outside of her or her and i don't think that countries who can europe or u.k. or he not sufficient how do you what do you make of the health protocols that have been set out in this particular experiment the concert goers must present a negative covert test and they must wear face masks social system saying not required. yes so you highlight and surely important aspect of this
9:41 pm
study which is the fact that can we reduce the amount of social distancing again this is something the world health organization has stressed is one of most important factors which could be just as a factor has a vaccine itself if we keep distance from one another however we realize that so many aspects of commerce and deal u.i. if so and feasible to actually implement so the results of that when we turn around are able to say definitively that only x. percent were infected as a result of where increased mass but without a medical grade facemask that this is not just your clock variety but again without that recommendation in our distance what that will mean for businesses going poor and i think that everyone is going to be watching the results of this say incredibly here or your terms of what will be available to them in the summer and
9:42 pm
spring security some countries i'm going to look to the u.k. in particular which is an exceptionally well with its vaccine roll out what they will be able to see yeah that's what i want to toss here about in fact because whatever results come out of this experiment then clearly are saying that this could be applied to other countries. around the world. absolutely and i think we already see this happening us without even the test control trials and this is because they're very confident in their racks the roll out in the quantity that they've had so i had a presidential promise of 100000000 vaccines within 100 days and he's managed double that within half that time but there is still aspects to be considered in the sense that we do know particularly in europe if you look at france for example 10 percent of cases that have been just active are of south african variant and we do know that astra zeneca back scene shows less if it is seeing at this particular
9:43 pm
