contest of the cathedral starts people 12 t.w. . this is think of the news live from building the owner of a huge cargo ship blocking the suez canal says the ang is to free the vessel by saturday but experts warn it could take days or even weeks as hundreds of other vessels are stuck on either side waiting to pass through the channel also coming up a huge lead is divided on how to speed up a sluggish vaccination rollout the french president backed export controls that

eventual summit but others warn against so-called vaccine protectionism. classmate rushes to activists to support the opposition politician alexei navalny hasn't gone unnoticed as the kremlin tightens its grip on social media platforms. i'm anthony how did welcome japanese media are reporting that the owner of a huge container ship blocking egypt su is canal i'm still free it by saturday but experts are warning that it could take weeks more than 150 ships a whiting to get into what is one of the world's most important shipping routes with hundreds more headed its way i proly suspension of traffic in the sewers will almost certainly impact global trade which has already been hit hard by the pandemic the suez canal is

a choke point for world trade it connects and europe and sees 30 percent of the global container shipping both in every day. dredging teams worked through the night to try to clear the canal they had around the 200000 ton ship and no wonder the stranded ever given is holding up around $10000000000.00 in trade every day it is stuck. diggers tug boat drag and a crack team of dutchman no one knows the special forces of salvage operations have been drafted in to help. it stop containers may have to be offloaded to lighten the vessel the one mistake could spell disaster. the barrier is basically in asia the sterns in in africa in the middle is in the middle of the canal and what you can do is take a lot of weight off the ends and put a lot of what they call a sagging stress on the vessel you conceivably crack the whole cause an oil spill

but worst catastrophic li fracture of the vessel and off which would close the canal for months if not years more than $150.00 ships are caught in the traffic jam each passing day piles on the pressure for global trade route already struggling with a coronavirus pandemic a hiccup like this that affects. everyone with a ready scrambling to get back to normal and what have been quite strong demand. and yeah and no one needs to know the lay on top of everything out and. just how important and how the whole system is those involved have warned it could be weeks before the vessel is freed bad news for those stuck in the world's longest mada time tailback. and with us to look at the impact of the accident is having on shipping is lafayette's and he's the c.e.o. of sea intelligence consulting which advises the industry he's joining us from

copenhagen good i lars how big a deal is this for the world's cargo companies. this is becoming a bigger deal for every day that passes a couple of days that would have been a minor annoyance but what we're seeing now is going to have a ripple effect on all the container shipping flows this is significantly increasing the risk we're going to see congestion in european ports within a week's time or so and it significantly increases the risk that there will be a shortage of actual containers in asia impacting european and north american and all of the importers a couple of months from now. there are schools that ship says he talked about it stacked on other end of the canal and they aren't going anywhere do they have alternative routes yes the alternative is the long wait around africa that in very round numbers is another 5000 kilometers takes a week longer but once between $500000.00 tons of fuel per shift so it's expensive

it takes a long time but not only is it theoretically possible it is actually happening already as of the last 12 hours we have now seen multiple container ships that have been diverted and is now beginning to take the long route and let me fact check something can a gust of wind really blows such a massive ship sideways as the ana of the ships says it did in this case. sea ready to speaking yes say it's like setting a gigantic sail that state that's a huge force what has me wondering a bit here is if it is just a gust of wind well there's wind a lot of times in the suez canal we got. $20000.00 ships a year moving through so if it is only wind then we should see this happen more frequent we don't it more it's more likely that it's a confluence of multiple different factors might very likely be one of them but is unlikely to be the only reason. the industry has been

a norm an enormously profitable in recent years also as ships have gotten bigger and bigger and crews have become smaller was this in that view an accident waiting to happen. you had the giant ships let's put it that way move through the suez canal for many many years before it was the container ships you also have very large chain does and other types of vessels so why ships on the container side definitely have gotten larger over the last couple of decades i don't see that as a contributing factor in itself. plus the ensign of say intelligence consulting thanks so much my question ok he's around but now of other stories making news around the world they theo pm prime minister abi ahmed said that eritrea has agreed to withdraw its troops from troops rather from the ethiopian region of tikrit amid said a.t.f. u.s. military would take over the guarding of the border areas and the city international has accused eritrean troops of committing atrocities in the region.

leaders wrestled over how to solve their vaccination crisis. countries are failing to distribute the job amid a shortage of doses and spikes in new cases across the continent. we agreed that we have a strong interest in working together to keep global supply chains functioning and to prepare already for the next challenges to come in this pandemic in an area of pandemics the united states is an important and valued partner to the european union their marathon video conference was joint briefly by u.s. president joe biden in a bid to improve transatlantic relations biden's presence was welcomed america's nationalist approach to its vaccine will it was not. we as the european union it are the parts of the world that is not only supplying

itself but also exporting to others. that's in contrast to the united states and the united kingdom and the new. leaders clashed over export controls frustrations are high because vaccine doses produced in the e.u. do not always stay here some countries are pushing for stricter rules on exports from the block. in new food we need to stop being naive i said lord be export control mechanisms put in place by the european commission we must block all exports for as long as some drug companies don't respect their commitments with europeans. the only unanimous decision was that production facilities in the e.u. need to be ramped up in order to contain the covert $1000.00 crisis. well in russia the kremlin has been tightening its grip on social media platforms this

month the country's media watchdog threatened to block sites like twitter if they failed to remove banned content and now the video sharing platform tick-tock is on the kremlin as well during opposition protests in support of alexina valmy the site was flooded with political content and as they doubly correspondent emily show one reports that main scrutiny for the sites 20000000 russian uses. time could be ticking for these bloggers the unlikely new enemy for the kremlin. the social network is mostly about entertainment with videos of cranks and downs. but this month at a meeting with the police russian president vladimir putin made it clear he wants the authorities to be watching anyway. unfortunately we all know what the internet is and how it is used to promote unacceptable content it's critical for you to unite with other government agencies in order to monitor the web and be more

proactive in identifying people who are dragging minors into committing illegal actions the fact that minors are being dragged into illegal on authorized street protests as well is of course a violation of the law. to talk in particular has been on the authorities radar since the return of opposition politician i like me to russia his arrest in january caused a wave of opposition protests across the country and a sudden explosion of politics on tick tock. teenagers filmed themselves at schools replacing portraits of putin with portraits of. another to talk trend with videos of teens getting ready to protest and telling their parents they might get arrested. russia's media watchdog responded by calling on to talk to block videos calling for unauthorized protests and last week threatened to block

social networks completely if they don't comply with russian laws. but these moscow to talkers want to keep dancing to their own tune without thinking about politics every week the bloggers meet at this so-called to talk house with their producers to consult about their accounts and collaborate with each other to stay on trend talkers like that i knew. of a film $2.00 to $3.00 videos a day the 17 year old thinks the videos about politics were just a short lived trend. too much politics on tech talk i went on there during the protests and there was none of the usual content in my feed it was all about politics not viney and putin whose for whom it freaked me out i stayed off to talk for a few days. hundreds of cygnus blogger on the sonia also says she doesn't want to talk to become a political platform. talk is

a social media platform for self-expression there's so much negative stuff around us already on state television and so on if that stuff is on tick talk as well then we'll just drown in all these problems something has to stay neutral. but being neutral may soon no longer be possible according to my potential he's one of the owners of the p.r. agency promoting these bloggers. most bloggers are not for or against him they're just doing their thing but when they're told they're freaks when they're stigmatized these bloggers start feeling they're outsiders in this country and that's what makes them feel angry at the government. for now these 2 talkers are steering clear of politics but even they know that the kremlin will be watching closely if they ever get out of step.
