all to impose sanctions on china for its treatment of the minority of muslim population the rekers young so this does appear to be another former for a tally issued by the chinese government over the past couple of days the chinese youth league has been digging up these old statements from companies including nike but also h. and m. posting them online and we've seen this really morph into a big internet storm where social media and poor answers celebrities are all posting these statements and saying they're going to cut ties with these companies but we also did see big chinese e-commerce platforms like alibaba and j v dot com also were moving some products from particularly h. and m. from their websites as well can we expect some backpedaling from those companies given to china is not just a major global supply up but also a huge market. it's definitely a difficult line to be walking for these western companies we have seen

to to pull her off maybe very careful owner off because again they've got all that weight in the center of the vessel and she's not borne it right now because she's hung up on the edge on the edge so she has a sagging motion to right now so they'll be very careful about cracking the vessel in a catastrophic loss of the bursa which is the worst case scenario satellite pictures show you the ship's location marked here in blue you can see the tugboats around it the consequence of the blockage an extraordinary traffic jam a giant freighters recording to bloomberg more than 100 ships are waiting to get passed in either direction egyptian officials are hopeful that the f.a.a. given can be freed and sent on its way but they're predicting that it will take at least a couple of days. and i agree is mounting among germany's hospitality sector which is still in lockdown while holiday makers are headed for my jar car soon after the undeclared to the island a safe destination hotels there of course are looking forward to some income but
