coastal town of palma were in armed groups been laying seeds for a day. seeking refuge in thailand thousands of villages from me and more across the border to escape violence after an attack by the military. done takes another step closer to finalizing a peace deal the government signed an agreement with a major rebel group. hello thanks for joining us egypt's president has ordered port authorities to prepare to offload some of the cargo from the container ship which has blocked the swiss canal for 6 days it's caused huge delays to the global shipping network both syria has been forced to ration fuel and has a tanker waiting in that traffic jam along with 300 other vessels and steps are being taken to guarantee supplies for hospitals bakeries and water stations yemen and lebanon are considering right. fuel suez canal authorities are waiting for more

tug boats to help free this ship on saturday they said they had successfully dug out the stern of the conoco is one of the world's most important shipping lanes with trade valued at more than $9000000000.00 every day somehow dedes is head of middle east advocacy at the norwegian refugee council she says the delay in fuel deliveries could be devastating for syria. the news coming out of syria is deeply deeply worrying the country was already hitting crisis point with the economic collapse hitting syria and the daily lives of syrians and now these delays to fuel shipments will make going to 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 covert 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 fuel is absolutely essential to the delivery of goods and services and has been mentioned has really been disrupted for months now because it's been in short supply so we've ever 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 shipment situation in the sou-s. 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. a major operation is underway to rescue survivors of a deadly attack in palma in mozambique among them a 1000 workers for the french energy giant total an armed group has been laying siege to the coastal town since wednesday after being trapped for days survivors have finally been able to leave or fighting originally broke out in northern mozambique and 2017 since then hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced and couples oh god oh province but the town of palma had been seen as a safe haven because it's near multi-billion dollar gas projects where there is heightened security on wednesday however members of an armed group enter it forcing many to take shelter in a rule a hotel that includes foreigners who works on a gas project which is owned by french company to tal and as you've heard some people have now managed to escape to the provincial capital. as monitoring

developments from harare and neighboring zimbabwe. we're hearing that several of those birds have started arriving in parma someone who will be coming to days home becoming the couple of hours from now and they'll be taking people aside will be evacuated to the provincial capital pym bar we also had 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 entered palmer from different locations it seems it was some kind of coordinated attack they say that the attack happened literally hours off the french company to a tall and now it is resuming operations in the area so some analysts are saying that maybe this attack could be linked to that announcement but there is 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 the united states has said that special forces will help train the mozambican army portugal the former colonial power has committed to changing the mozambique and 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 also helping with the evacuation process and where you because an executive chairman of the african energy chamber he says mozambique needs external help. it was seen it won't quite need it you said you can see. there you probably finance and this is not something for mozambique alone mozambique as a country has already you've already been struggling to keep people emerged out of

poverty and middle class the ministry the military is strong but not very strong to really take on some of these insurgencies which out of busy i do guerrilla tactics too which would go easy to destroying back and put it happen because whenever you see what you see right here is that you're going to have service companies your piece americans italians and everybody that is walking around you know what you did get out tax did you know you would get the right kind of medication and i was stuck but when you what you have to look on beyond the book is that yet tension that is being played this is terrorism and we have to ask not just in egypt industry but at the world community peace strong occasion to be given was a big deal necessary support that it needs to do right kind of troops the right kind of agreement the right kind infrastructure but are still not from get don't
