been killed trying to escape plus. i'm john hendren in minneapolis where opening arguments begin in the trial of derek chauvet and then accused of killing george flora. welcome to the program the container ship that's brought these serious canals but only a week has been partially refloated but it remains unclear whether the ever given will be able to continue its voyage the giant vessel run aground and one of the walls busiest waterways costing billions of dollars in trade every day alexia bryant has the subject. she is of celebration and the so is canal and horns blaring . as the every given finally appears to make a move back you guys have bad a days and despite a multinational rescue effort the vessel has hardly budged now finally it's been partially refloated. waged across the suez canal the scale of the problem has

dwarfed the machinery seen as the solution rages and diggers have removed thousands of cubic meters of santa from underneath the giant container ship and a team of at least 10 tug boats has been trying to dislodge it for days since it ran aground to tankers in the cargo ships carrying oil gas and grain have stacked up at either end of the canal delaying global trade and costing billions of dollars every day around about 70 percent of the world's oil trade goes through the series canal arm and it can't any any ship has the choice of taking the longer route round the south of africa takes around 2 weeks longer obviously cost more because of the additional i'm shipping cost so ships are having to make their decision do they whites are in that queue of $300.00 or do they take the a longer trip the crisis is a weirdy having an impact on syria the authorities forced to announce

a few rationing of supplies from iran a stock the news coming out of syria is deeply deeply worrying the country was already heating crisis point with cannot make collapse hitting syria and the daily lives of syrians and now these delays to fuel shipments will make an really bad situation worse there had been fears an operation would be needed to lighten the ship which is 20000 containers on board requiring a crane and other equipment that's yet to arrive but it appears a flotilla of tugboats and a higher tide may have deemed that unnecessary alexy o'brian al jazeera. the secretary general of the international chamber of shipping he says it will take time to clear the backlog of ships around the canal. it does look like they've made substantial progress i don't think she's quite finally free yet but certainly the pictures i've seen she's the stones move 'd about 100 meters or so into the 2

ascent of the canal so one would hope the next high water they can really finally free it completely so let's fingers crossed for that and then get to the canal trying to clone again they exact a professional that things are going to happen next obviously they want to move her that she's not that far from the sun then transfer the canal anyway is my understanding so i suspect they will move down there and then allow the traffic to flow the sound like the engine 50 ships or plus which is now back lot. i think they've manderson from our contact there they'll be doing on the the people who turned up 1st will get their ships the 1st with the exception perhaps of livestock ships which will be given some priority for obvious reasons but it's always a plan b. anyway which is to go around that the south coast the south tip of south africa the cape of good hope and come up that does that 3 and a half 1000 miles to the to the journey 300500 nautical miles each day that passes is about $7.00 to $8000000000.00 worth of goods which would usually pass through the canal so

a week later you're talking 4550000000000 of delays really as much as you think will catch up on some of that but there will be ongoing place it's hard to put a figure on it and of course some carcasses may have perished because they were time critical they'll be in no doubt some big insurance claims going in and this certain to get some resolution don't forward we must remember some context this is a very very very rare occurrence it's been $18000.00 transits a year over 50 usually per day so this is been some time since the last time a ship was blocked so but nonetheless it's really important a full investigation is carried out and lessons learned where they need to be learnt. me miles military has had qur'an states with more airstrikes forcing thousands of people to flee their homes many cross the border into thailand and prime minister player channel char says that the government is preparing for a flood of refugees miles military has been targeting the current national liberation army the armed ethnic group is one of dozens fighting for greater autonomy. well because please let this be an internal issue for us we don't want to

have an exodus into our territory but we will observe human rights to. how many refugees are expected we've prepared an area for them to stay 1st after they cross over we can talk about the numbers later we're not going to talk about a permanent shelter years we're not there yet this is a matter for the department of national security to deal with well tony chang is following developments for us from bangkok. this may be the military trying to seize the initiative we've seen them. conducting these airstrikes on the qur'an the k n u down in the south there's been clashes up in the north think a chin state overnight in callin in a strategically important town in the chin state there were clashes to the army fighting local street residents not armed insurgents of the local residents but using things like r.p.g. screen aids so they really have decided to step up the attack that may be

folly they're opening up another front in. front sentient against armed aggressors while they're already trying to deal with a general populace who are deeply unhappy. and are protesting every day we've seen most of the major urban centers many of the towns even out in the countryside people still continuing to protest and that must be using an awful lot of military resources but maybe they feel and they're so confident in their strength that they feel this is a fight they can win and win relatively easily. foreign companies are being told not to mix business with politics if they want to keep operating in china now the warnings come from a spokesman for sure john's regional government does a news conference where he was asked about the alleged use of ethnic week as forced labor to produce cotton a growing number of western retail giants into the kitchen and nike are facing

a boycott in china for voicing their concerns and that sparked a backlash on chinese social media with dozens of celebrities dropping deals with the brands. you know the chinese people including those in have already expressed their anger at these companies are just harming themselves we hope global enterprises like internet can open their eyes to what's right and what's wrong not just blindly impose these measures they need to be reasonable if they want to continue doing business in china well a very broad is in hong kong and so should john officials are warning the world not to mess with china. the message was quite simple and it was basically this don't believe what the western media is saying about the situation changing it bears no comparison with reality where's the evidence of sexual violence against women in these so-called vocational training centers which human rights groups call labor camps where is the evidence of forced labor in the cotton farms and cotton mills and cotton factories where is there evidence of of people being repressed when it

comes to religion there is no evidence and that was the message that came through loud and clear and there was another i think theme throughout and it was this don't mess with china we've had you know years decades of being humiliated by the west we're tired of the smears we're tired of the lies the media who were in attendance were actually invited to go to shin jang to see for themselves but of course as we've seen from the past when the media go to shin jang they tend to be heavily chaperoned so this was an attempt also by the not just the shin jang government but also by the the central government to respond to these sanctions that have been placed on china those targeted sanctions by the united kingdom the united states canada and the e.u. because of the well documented repression they say is taking place and changing of course china in the last few days has responded with sanctions of its own so this media conference was part and parcel of that. biggs military says dozens of

go to my theory it's the situation of losing someone it's hard he don't know where this person is he can't reach them or know what condition they're in this is horrible and it's destabilize humanity it's really not fair. this is the only footage that has images from inside the hotel where up to 200 people have reportedly taken refuge hundreds of others have attempted to flee the town running into forests and nearby villages. we don't know how we will get out of here if we can get to the sea or if we'll be rescued by whom there are helicopters flying over the hotel they checking to see if we can reach the beach to get a boat out but as you can hear we don't know if it's possible the situation is critical we have no food just water we're in god's hands no. gun battles have been going on for days between the armed group that calls itself and

government forces trying to take back control of the coastal town. there's been fighting in northern missouri and beak mainly in a province since 2017 this is a region major gas discoveries have been made in recent years but the town of parma has been relatively safe for foreigners working on africa's largest liquefied natural gas project until this week. the french in the giant hotel has now evacuated $1000.00 of its workers that suspended its operations it was due to restart a $20000000000.00 project after stopping work in january because of security concerns that's now on hold while. tacked on and infrastructure we. are trying to. project. more than 2500 people have been killed and half

a racial revolution in american streets. it energized the black lives matter movement in harden the country's racial divide now the trial of the police officer accused of floyd's murder could either close a bitter chapter in american history. or rekindle the arson fueled riots of the summer of 2020 across the united states and i think will be similar to what took place when this happened you know we felt it all the way in chicago. you know people are angry. but to their frustrations will say they know how the murder trial of fired police officer derrick children is perhaps the most anticipated civil rights case here. the u.s. in the 21st century it will mark a test case of racial justice in 2021 in the case of a black man who died beneath the knee of a white police officer who held him there for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. that jury

will see show than in this disturbing video as floyd cries out for his life at the bridge. these are the images we don't take anything for granted we have to keep our eyes on the prize to make sure that he doesn't get away with murder as so many other police officers have done to people of color in america not since the racially charged trial of the white police officers charged in the 1991 beating of rodney king has one legal case so captured a moment in american racial history. when a largely white suburban jury found the defendants not guilty the streets of los angeles a rock did in violent fury in black america police are now often seen in the darkest light now people are not viewing the police as a welcome. rather as an unwelcome presence as it's been referred to over the years and that you plan on orse. as minneapolis anxiously boards up for new

demonstrations many fear what could happen if children is allowed to walk free people gonna be outraged because it again has proven that the system is not protected and so i think people gonna be upset and down all right we have 15 this time a racially diverse jury of $12.00 and $3.00 alternates 9 white 4 black into mixed race will decide the fate of another white police officer. and that could set the direction of the american civil rights movement for years to come john hendren al-jazeera minneapolis. and bates is a criminal defense attorney and a film prosecutor though he says travels lawyer is less likely to argue that case based on the evidence from the medical examiner i do think it's very possible to receive a fair trial i do think that i have had a lot of media attention for the defense point of view they're going to say the

most damaging evidence the world has are you see so you don't have that shot raptor defense now as the fact so it's easy to lay their case out and so he could probably hear what they say this case really revolves around what the medical examiner sense of and here the medical examiner i've read as dr baker dr baker made a ruling that because of that knee in the back of the neck by the police officers are that that was the cause and yeah and you will get a homicide however that medical examiner also gave the fence things that they can argue with the medical examiner said yes report that there were other contributing factors such as. mr floyd in that hard to see something that found that may well laden's body armor had recently used methamphetamines also look like there was that knowledge toxic ation and so those significant conditions as dr

investing now in technology so that we can do without the cold chain because as you know there are parts of the world where the cold chain just cannot work i can say is that i fear weaponization of vaccines and this is something that i really think we need to fight against so we know that there is a lot of talk about how the united states has exported no go see us and europe has exported approximately half of instances so i don't really think that we should have different positions we should be united and make sure that vaccines are not weaponized and are not used as a way to exercise. difficulties or hardships on certain countries the french quarter's phone pharmaceutical giant to servia guilty of fraud
