6:01 pm
shipments dozens of people are evacuated from mozambique's coastal town after an armed group launches attacks and. suicide bombers target a cathedral in indonesia. were attending a service to mark the start of the easter week seeking refuge in thailand thousands of villagers from me and mara crossed the border to escape violence after an attack by the military. the 1st formula one race of the season gets underway in bahrain with max foster polo who champion lewis hamilton. welcome to the news hour egypt's president has ordered port authorities to prepare to offload some of the cargo from the container ship which has blocked this west canal for 6 days it's called chute. delays to the global shipping network are syria
6:02 pm
has been forced to ration fuel and has a tanker waiting in that traffic jam along with around 300 other vessels steps are being taken to guarantee supplies for hospitals bakeries and water stations yemen and lebanon are also considering rationing fuel or so as canal authorities are waiting for tug boats to help free the ship on saturday they said they successfully dug out the stern the canal is one of the world's most important shipping lanes with trade valued at more than $9000000000.00 every day will bring in some are headed now who's the head of middle east advocacy at the norwegian refugee council she's joining us from amman to discuss the situation in syria a country that somehow data already struggling that with an economic crisis and of course the coronavirus pandemic and now the government announcing it's rationing fuel what impact is the best going to have on ordinary syrians. well the news coming out of syria is deeply deeply worrying the country was
6:03 pm
a ready heating crisis point with the economic collapse hitting syria and the daily lives of syrians and now these delays to fuel shipments will make an really bad situation worse fuel was already in short supply for many many months in syria which has affected hospitals marketplaces it's meant that public transport is severely strained and overcrowded which is also leading to the spread of co the 19 so these reports will not only worsen those existing situations but will also mean that people will continue waiting in days in line for full fuel in and the situation on the ground will only worsen and this war undoubtedly have a knock on effect on basic goods such as food and medicine.
6:04 pm
yes exactly i mean fuel is absolutely essential to the delivery of goods and services and has been mentioned it has really been disrupted for months now because it's been in short supply so we've seen marketplaces suffer we've seen hospital suffer. and really if it's affected the daily lives of syrians who are struggling to cope with the general economic crisis inside the country so it's really urgent that the shipment situation in the suez is addressed and that shipments of fuel can be resumed and continued to syria but also i think the general economic crisis in syria really needs more support and assistance how so well i think the syrians for many many months now they've been struggling to cope with the huge economic crisis we've seen poverty on the rise
6:05 pm
hunger is on the rise across syria and it's really important now that the international community particularly ahead of this week's international pledging conference for syria continue to maintain aid assistance to support syrians who are affected by the humanitarian crisis inside the country but also the economic crisis that will no doubt affect them now and in the future even though your group the norwegian refugee council says despite these growing humanitarian needs you do expect international aid to syria to face further cuts how worrying is that. there are really worrying signs that international aid could be cut to syria and we're hearing reports that countries like the u.k. for instance may make reid significant cuts to their aid assistance to syria and it's really really crucial now that the international community doesn't abandon
6:06 pm
syrians and turn their backs to syrians in need who are dealing with a real deep economic crisis and the humanitarian crisis that is only growing and worsening a summer how did we thank you very much for speaking to us from amman jordan. now a major rescue operation is underway to evacuate survivors of a deadly attack in palma about 10 mozambique among them a 1000 workers with the french energy giant total an armed group laid siege on the coastal town on wednesday and after being trapped for days survivors were able to leave and were taken to the provincial capital pemba on sunday parma was considered a safe haven with 70000 displaced people living there before the attack her with will join us from harare right now in neighboring zimbabwe what are you hearing about the situation in mozambique. we're hearing that several of those birds have
6:07 pm
started arriving in parma some of them will be coming to days when we come in the couple of hours from now and they'll be taking people so you'll be evacuated to the provincial capital we now sign to get an idea of what's been happening the last few days because now people are able to talk about the experiences they say that this attack the fighting started wednesday afternoon armed groups into from different locations it seems it was some kind of coordinated attack they say that the attack happened literally hours after the french company to atol announces resuming operations in the area so some analysts are saying that maybe this attack could be linked to that announcement but there's not another theory they say the place had been relatively peaceful and so humanitarian workers were able to come in and bring in food and medicines for the area there is a theory that perhaps some of those armed groups were targeting those supplies in terms of what kind of help mozambique is getting from the international community
6:08 pm
the united states has said that special forces will help train the mozambican army portugal the former colonial power has committed to changing the mozambicans there are reports that south africa has been training some military officials there are private armies in and around the area some of them from neighboring south africa they've been helping the mozambique an army try to push back these armed groups and right now they're also helping with the evacuation process in terms of the region leaders in southern africa have had meetings on and off for a while now talking about what to do to help mozambique they're always been saying that there is some kind of plan but they haven't said what their plan is going to be but some analysts are saying that if there is some kind of military intervention mozambique would live to be seen as the one leading the boots on the ground as a country that's in control of the operation humanitarian workers of course are concerned that the that is. the is going to be any major military intervention
6:09 pm
they're concerned about the safety of the civilians those are not on the boats we're told are in the bush trying to make their way to places like a place that are relatively safe places where if they get there they'll get such help with medicines food shelter and other necessities arab does the government still have control of that particular territory and also what can you tell us about these armed groups and how powerful they are. or the government hasn't really said much about what's really is going on in that area saying that they are engaging with the armed groups they're trying to push them back but what we see in syria 2017 is these armed groups from time to time seem to be trying to take more territory at a time seizing entire towns reports of people being beheaded people being tortured and raped a lot of people being displaced and the united nations is warning that these numbers of people to space will continue to rise as indication that perhaps on the
6:10 pm
ground things are going to are the key thing now of course is as a region southern africa people in the reason are asking what is going to happen who's going to come in and help mozambique so all these questions are now being asked and what kind of intervention is going to take place because whatever happens in mozambique would likely still over into other countries in the region ok how remote are so thank you so much for that update from harare let's speak to enjoy an executive chairman of the african energy chamber who's joining us from a few to thanks very much for speaking to us on al-jazeera you yourself have recently been given full access to by our foreign is to. and you say that the targets are strategic targets and specifically the energy sector infrastructure why do you say that and what have you seen. thank you so much for having me on days and i do outset i want to send my call them condo in season and my how to put
6:11 pm
confidences to families and speedy recovery for those who have been injured enjoyed the s.d. set tax hat which target these attacks went pretty hard and i knew coal all of the energy infrastructure there just a few days. announce that the i'm willing to start and resume activities after i would have shoved it gets suspended for a sions these attacks happened so from what you see it was a well coordinated they were directed at tacked on directly on the infrastructure we'd be sole goal of trying to slow down or stop any kind of energy projects that i'm sure you haven't done region and i think that is really what we see right now it was a b. and there is a strong hague treaty and resolve to see that these stops and it must not be accepted so what happens next there's a government in mozambique and the military do they have the know have the capability to counter these armed groups or do they need to help.
6:12 pm
there is a lot of help needed you were seen the world court me that you said you can see. there you properly financed and this is not something for mozambique alone mozambique i think country has already you've already been struggling to keep people emerged out of poverty to upper middle class the ministry the military. and the strong but not very strong to really take on some of these insurgencies which out of busily doing guerrilla tactics to which would go eat you destroying holy back and put it in hand because whenever you see what you see right here is that you're going to have service companies european americans italians and everybody that is walking around be aware you did get that tax you know you would get the right kind of like agent and we stuck but when you what you have to look beyond
6:13 pm
your is that you get tension that is being played this is terrorism and we have to as not just the educated energy industry but that's a world community page from that confronted bees given was a big necessary support that it needs to do right kind of troops the right kind of equipment the right kind of infrastructure but are still not get your underlying problems there we cannot condone these kind of these kind of the things from happening think about are you going to see about $100000000000.00 in investment or what next you next 10 years is a lot of money that he carries do not want to see happen and we have to do we have to do right for the people of mozambique that are really going to get jobs and what t.v.'s and emerge out of poverty. for their starting of troops there can this conflicts be solved militarily and also with the u.s. now the u.s. involvement in mozambique it's reportedly deploying its elite forces to train their
6:14 pm
military and laws and because that going to help or hinder the situation. it is going to happen not he and i think training development and building capacity it's good that he would have short term but you have to look at the long term we do underline issues around there because this is not just a mozambican problem region not claes you know forces have to have have to have really is a region up play treaties because just up north you have the huge deposits of gas cans in the area which you would have to deal with that so i think it's the right card for the americans coming but i think sometimes we have to be at interview to kind of support it is we don't need band aid solutions you already have ongoing projects happening if you have banded solutions then you would have to suspend slow down or stop projects disease you can be dealt with this is
6:15 pm
a great opportunity to confront these really and really and really find solutions yes messages have to be sent to the young man who are involved in these kind of radical terrorism that it's time to drop your guns it's time to be rehabilitated it's time to come back in your foreign and get this man walking again we can learn enough to got ready for the night he saw that you found solutions was a big can find and i met the president he's he's willing to really have if for unfettered access include a place great also create solutions that were not what you present so community to see that does and development will say thank you so much i enjoy you are speaking to us on al-jazeera thank you so much for having me. more ahead on the al-jazeera news hour including a dramatic reversion of the current virus death toll in mexico reveals more than $320000.00 people have died as countries across latin america struggle to contain

6:21 pm
al jazeera. chauhan is the executive director of burma human rights network and he says imposing sanctions and an arms embargo will be effective at me and maher because it will take the wealth from the military regarding the use of military you know we are we welcome that the u.s. u.k. and u.s. is now you know targeting their economic interests that conglomerate and this is also affecting in significantly on their insight in fact their nets inside their circle and we are asking the national community for arms about this and you see that yesterday also frequently we have seen that the military is using air power to bomb the civilian villages in towns and in at me control areas so we are asking so for no fly zone to impose in those areas we don't use un must prove that un is alive un is functioning in us un have to be billeted to protect the city when you
6:22 pm
combine with the action like i'm some bubble no plays old economic sanctions these are going to affect and this will be you know. bring down that slippery gees because you see that this military gear is not as strong as as we have seen in the past in other part of the world that the you know that it take that of course china and russia backing them but china and russia will not risk what them everything used because china has a lot of interesting which will not be secured by it but you know by supporting the military the main aim of the controlling power to obtaining went to controlling power that's the main goal for them once their wealth is going going taken away from them and they are not achieving their goals then this is a very effective one. well mexico has revised its covert 1000 death toll up by nearly 60 percent on
6:23 pm
saturday the government said the number of coronavirus deaths is above 321000 not 201000 as previously reported mexico's testing rate is low and its health care system has been overwhelmed that means many people are dying at home without getting tested let's bring in monaco joining us now from rio de janeiro and these numbers by mexico monica may now exceed those off brazil where you are. that plea big do they came as a surprise of them are fact here in brazil there are today. $110000.00 deaths and those population is almost double that of mexico so mexico with $321000.00 deaths has surpassed brazil and that would be now the
6:24 pm
2nd the that has the 2nd largest death toll after the united states which also has a much larger population than the mexican one and the reason that this surge in numbers in mexico is because as you were saying before the testing there is little test you some some people die at home and so what they do is they measure something called excess deaths where they compare deaths that happen in a determined period of time to the same period of time in the following year and see what the did with the excesses and since this has happened during a pandemic it's highly likely that these deaths were due to the pen demick so that is basically it now here in brazil the situation is that we still have the hospital cut prices we're still in lockdown in certain parts of the country and just so you have an idea of how serious it is like 4 out of 10 people that have been dying
6:25 pm
recently have been dying have not been able to get to a nice e.u. unit so they're basically dying in line or monica thank you so much for that update from rio de janeiro. well chile has launched its strictest coronavirus lockdown yet to curb are rising cases more than 80 percent of the population is under mandatory isolation the president says it's necessary to ease pressure on the health care system about 40 percent of the population has been vaccinated that's more than any other latin american nation able to do that we have restricted transit through doc downs and cemetery controls today more than 16000000 countrymen around the core and to mean we are fully aware of the difficulties and 2nd for us is that this major means to july and families but to protect health to protect the lives of all citizens is definitely our 1st priority. here on the news

6:37 pm
forces bombing. all over their houses over their towns and they picked up the little they have and ran away and crossed the river in colombia again this was totally unexpected and one thing that everybody is telling us here is that the way in which. forces are bringing forth this operation has been absolutely brutal against the people people here are talking to their relatives have been illegally arrested times even killed they're talking about extrajudicial killing on part of the venezuelan forces something that we're not able to confirm here but there are also human rights organizations are saying inside venezuela so will we be able to go back home. that's that's obviously a big question here because obviously the situation is getting out of hand here.

6:39 pm
he or peroration or over on the other side and that people can safely go back but i can tell you that just minutes ago we heard at least 3 explosions coming from inside that have been a swell at least for now people are saying we cannot go back and definitely they don't trust the government so that they can safely go back to their homes ok i understand your thank you so much for that update from colombia but the leader of venezuela's opposition on high dose says he's tested positive for climate 19 he announced it on twitter saying he has mild symptoms and is in isolation also said he was concerned about the number of infections in venezuela. gibraltar is lifting its requirement to wear masks outdoors after vaccinating most of its adult population mosques are no longer required outside the city's main street and surroundings will remain mandatory on public transportation and in shops or

6:41 pm
santa says his decisions which critics accuse of flying in the face of science based advice were right we actually have people opening new businesses here we actually have people hiring people our employment rates much less than the national average in way less than a lot of the walk down states like california new york today though we did we can build off this momentum that momentum is obvious in places like miami where tech finance companies and restaurants and relocating unemployment here is also lower than states like new york and california but encouraging people to come to florida has consequences 0 7. the authorities in miami beach put a coup few in place after thousands of revelers many masculists flocked to beaches and bars the unusual move came after officials decided spring break crowds posed a serious risk to public health and security there has been gun play opened brawling and other hazards and all that in the midst of a pandemic where mask usage and physical distance thing seems like an afterthought
6:42 pm
if that so we had to implement measures we would prefer not to deploy but must the real metric that matters here is the state's reaction to covert 19 death rate per capita in florida places it 24th in the nation or right in the middle of a 30000 people have died and variants of covert 900 still pose a serious threat gov decided to spoil the policies have been vindicated some think it's too soon to say tourists a still flocking to the state driven in part by loose restrictions cheap flights and covert fatigue but economists say it may be years before the true cause. it's known with the aleve that we were going to. people knew this and this is part of the reason why they did come to florida for mostly great. and again you cannot really measure the economics of it until you see you're out a what is it constant terms of lives what has the constant terms of. and so on
