way just logged. well the trusts that work of course of several days we've been there like a few days ago and we could see how they're working. working shifts day and night and when there was no tight. then this was the time of the dredges and the experiences and then it was high tide type boats came and tried to move the boat and it was obviously no success for this morning it least partially refill to the boat basically it's the store and the street and it's no move to what's the middle of the canal and it's the bowl that's still stuck on stand no they're waiting for the height tell you which is coming in right now i'm told being to finish the job once they finish the job. they hope that they both will move by itself off its

inspected the owner of the japanese on. the boats it. says that then they will probably move it further north because there's an. area which called the bitter x. and that's an area that's a bit wider in the canal and they probably wouldn't park it there and then we'll reopen the traffic for. ok you're breaking up a little bit here on the audie you didn't hear kareem and great kids. but we'll try try just what one more just just worry about what sort of damage has been caused by is no scream i'm afraid we basically do. is just breaking up too much perhaps we can talk to you again later on that was kareem. talking to us from cairo on a very shaky line now moving on to myanmar international condemnation is growing of saturday's bloodshed there in which the military killed more than $100.00 civilians

including children u.s. president joe biden the european union and the united nations have all expressed anger over the violence calling it outrageous unacceptable and mass murder funerals were held for the victims of what was the country's bloodiest day since the army seized power. a funeral for a 13 year old boy sajjan was killed when security forces in yangon opened fire the neighbors say there were no protests in the area this just one of many funerals held the day after the armed forces day massacre in the streets of myanmar cities were stained in blood. his mother calls out to her son now gone forever can't you hear me she cries.

even though it's now clear to everyone what protesting in myanmar means people return to the streets the day after the bloodbath determined to press their demands for a return to democracy. there's no sign the military is changing tactics either and no hint they're backing down from their threat to shoot protesters in the head no one is sitting. in you know extremely dangerous situation with beijing and the killing spree is going him against a city. there are fears that the situation could escalate further protestors are picking up weapons which are improvised but with the hunt to using more and more force there's concern that the civil disobedience movement may no longer remain nonviolent. for more let's cross over to bangkok now and speak to reporter ayman time to spin covering events in myanmar for us in touch even covering the coup and its aftermath from the beginning what do you make of saturday's bloodshed

so what we saw on saturday is not completely unexpected we have been seeing the military really escalate its use of violence over the past 6 or 7 weeks really moving out from rubber bullets and water cannons into shooting live bullets and now we're hearing. gunfire as well as bombs being dropped right now we have over 30000 people who have fled into thailand because there's been at least 9 bombs dropped in this day in correct state with borders the area and especially considering that saturday was armed forces day and normally there are parades there are sort of celebration for the military and you know they're being led by a group of people really don't seem to care about civilian deaths what we saw on saturday it was not surprising you mentioned that people have been fleeing to thailand you are among them you left me on nor a few days ago why did you feel

a need to leave the country. so i left because quite a large number of my friends' families as well as people i've been in contact with in the civil disobedience move. arrested or are being targeted for arrest and you know i personally don't want to go to jail and i don't think i would be productive in jail and so you know like many other there are people thailand was has historically been the home of the rice this events and i see myself sort of following in that tradition. how do you see this conflict playing out we've been seeing sort of escalating indiscriminate violence from them and are and they are essentially targeting civilian populations even those who aren't necessarily protesting for as we saw in the bombings in qur'an state it's quite likely that a 3rd point protesters will no longer be able to remain nonviolent will be able to convince themselves that this is the correct strategy especially if they don't see

cortney the actions from the international community. for a main turn in bangkok thanks thanks very much for talking with us today. sketch up on some of the other stories making headlines around the world today government data in mexico suggest the coronavirus death toll there is likely at least 60 percent higher than previously reported revised more than 320000 mexicans have died with cove in 19 of places mexico as the 2nd worst hit country in the world after the united states. an international team investigating the origins of the corona virus say it's extremely unlikely that it leaked out of a laboratory their report concludes that the virus probably passed to humans from of bat through an intermediary animal researchers visited the chinese city of earlier this year where the virus was 1st detected. and chances are going to
