this is deja vu news live from berlin efforts to move a stranded container ship blocking the suez canal finally make progress directors and tug boats working around the clock managed to partially refloat the 400 metre long vessel raising hopes the busy waterway will soon reopen also coming up thailand prepares for a wave of refugees fleeing the bloodshed and bloodshed in me and mark thousands are set to go across the border and the war on the move back to the deadliest weekend since the military coup.
12:01 pm
and the formula one season starts with a bang as world champion lewis hamilton and young challenger max for stop and battle it out in bahrain. i'm sumi so much kind of good to have you with us a massive container ship has been dislodged from the banks of the suez canal after a vast effort to free it the owner of the ever given says the 400 meter long vessel has been straightened out but it is not yet afloat it became wedged in the canal a week ago amid high winds excavators have been digging out the side of the canal while as many as 10 tug boats have been pulling the ship back into position the incident has blocked traffic along the canal which is one of the world's busiest shipping brutes. all right chris cobar from did have you business has been
12:02 pm
following up the latest developments on the story for us hi chris so there is some progress here we have heard that this boat is now partially refloated we're minus the why this has been so difficult mean why is it taking a week to get to this point well they have 3 crucial factors here the ever given weighs about 220000 tons of stream really heavy. and apparently the force with which it ran aground was much greater than and then it is a pain itself and we're talking about operating in the suez canal which is not that wide so you don't have much room to maneuver however as you pointed out you know several specialists have been at work for days overnight several dredges have toiled 27000 cubic meters of sand and mud from underneath the ship so yeah and it took tug boats and the moon bringing in spring tide to help actually partially free the ship but as you said challenges remain the still not dislodged
12:03 pm
yet and the tide is receding receding over the week so yeah it is of the essence to get moving quickly here now we're talking about one of the biggest busiest trade routes in the world when you have ships stuck on both sides and what is the damage then we're talking about 9 $1000000000.00 of damage in trade every day since wednesday since the canal has been blocked according to the can now $37370.00 ships cannot move through the canal are stuck on either side of the canal and we're talking about goods ranging from cattle to crude oil from toilet paper to video games it is impossible to say what all of cargo is stuck there but it's a lot of ships that have been hampered on their way to their destinations and it is a nightmare for egypt as well because the state can our authority is losing $14000000.00 each day in fees when ships cannot pass. it's pretty remarkable to
12:04 pm
think this one ship has blocked this canal and really disrupted global commerce i mean could something like this happen again it sounds actually refreshing and simple this fraud and all the troubles that we're facing nowadays just one ship blocking the canal but yes it could it could happen again because these container freighters have been growing in size in recent years so ships like the ever given are now 4 times bigger than they have been 25 years ago and so these giant ships being out there and global trade being so reliant on them yes it could happen again also with. the shipping industry consolidating so we're looking at fewer players on the world market operating these highly gigantic ships in the name of efficiency because you can transport more at a lower cost so you know the danger of this happening again certainly persists
12:05 pm
chris coker from d.w. business thank you so much for bring us up to date now thailand's government says it is preparing for an influx of refugees from 1000000 marm some 3000 people are reported to have fled the country already and more are on the move it follows a weekend of deadly violence that's drawn international condemnation and the violence may have reached a new level there are reports that the military has launched airstrikes in current state home to an armed resistance group. and these villagers have found refuge in a jungle clearing. they fled their homes at the weekend when they say the military launched aerial attacks on their village. we weren't aware that jet fighters were coming and suddenly they randomly bombed
12:06 pm
and left. late at night the jets came again and afterwards we heard gunshots. heard that the jets will come again. an activist group the free burma rangers also reported airstrikes saying they were the 1st in karen state in 20 years in neighboring thailand preparations are being made for an influx of refugees. many refugees are expected we have prepared an area for them to stay 1st after they cross over we can talk about numbers later. we're not going to talk about a permanent shelter yet this is a matter for the department of national security. it was
12:07 pm
a weekend of carnage and neon mark the military killed more than 100 people in cities on armed forces day drawing global outrage. while general celebrated with a military parade security forces opened fire seemingly indiscriminately on the streets. it was the deadliest day since the february 1st 2 and still protestors are returning to the streets the united nations has accused the army of mass murder. we have crimes against humanity and being caused and committed way to right it is one of our very eyes and the question right now is what the international community is willing to do. for those who lost their lives standing up for democracy in me on maher that question comes to late.
12:08 pm
reporter ayman tunde has been covering events in myanmar and joins us now from neighboring thailand welcome to the show or talking about a new level of violence in me and maher and we heard that there are a lot of people are preparing to flee the country you also fled yourself a few days ago can you tell us more about why and how. so i left because quite a number of my family as well as friends ellen generalist including as well activists have been arrested. and you know they have been targeting journalists a number of people have been shot who are journalists over it it's nearly 50 journalists have been jailed and they have come for journalists in their offices they've raided the offices as well as people's homes to try and arrest people and i wanted to make sure that i was able to continue doing my work at
12:09 pm
a lower capacity by the country i decided to leave by airplane which you know is still the easiest way out of the country i am a u.s. national which makes it more likely that they want me out of the country rather than one i'm sure arrest me and hassle of that but i do know that there are a number of people who have now skate into i think our country areas and are trying to cross over into countries like thailand and india doing land border right and what we saw over the weekend is being described as a massacre how did you feel watching that unfold from thailand. it was very difficult. i was trying to leave before armed forces day i had a. feeling that something what happened on forces day either from the military side because this is the day where they generally celebrate themselves and the protests that they're seeing and the rebellion that they're seeing now from the general
12:10 pm
public to their eyes and you know would be seen as an affront to them or from the side of the i think armed groups or the protesters and unfortunately we saw that massacre that we saw are. and you know my family is from the ngo this from mandalay and that's where the highest number of casualties were recorded and it's very difficult to see you know the neighborhoods i mean being a cap like this. i want to ask you about the reports that we've mentioned that the military has started conducting air strikes in one part of the country what information do you have about this so as the report was saying earlier this is the 1st strike that this area has seen in 20 years this is the. national clicked we're going to get to since then the pendants of the country but they had reached a cease fire agreement and 2 dozen 15 and for the most part this area had while had
12:11 pm
seen smaller skirmishes it hasn't seen any of this so indiscriminate violence against civilians which is really what's the bombings where it's quite likely that the either jets and the bombings where and that's how he stands for the kenyan crown national union attacking a military outpost and killing according to the 10 soldiers when they took over this outpost and stole a number of their guns and other weapons we'll have to leave it there reporter and then turn joining us from thailand thank you so much for sharing your perspective with us today. thank you for having. let's get around to some other headlines government data in mexico suggest the coronavirus death toll there is likely at least 60 percent higher than previously reported revised numbers show more than 320000 mexicans have died with cope with 19 that places mexico was
12:12 pm
the 2nd worst hit country in the world after the united states. and an international team investigating the origins of the corona virus says it is extremely unlikely that it leaked out of a laboratory they report concludes the virus probably passed to humans from a bath through an intermediary animal the researchers visited the chinese city ruhani earlier this year where the virus was 1st detected. you're watching news still to come on our show we need a team of doctors in turkey who climb mountains to get people in the countries with bogus villages that snape is against the current practice. that's coming up in a moment but 1st islamist militants have killed dozens of civilians in northern mozambique an armed group is holding the town of palma under siege it is a hub for international gas projects worth some 60 $1000000000.00 the mozambique government says hundreds of local people informed workers have been rescued and the
12:13 pm
french energy group has suspended work on a huge construction project most defense ministry says it is working to restore normality as if there is referred to plan and security forces reinforced their operational strategy to contain the terrorists criminal attacks and restore normality in palma. then. they have carried out over a short actions in the last 3 days focused primarily on the rescue of hundreds of national and foreign citizens protection of citizens on their property. but this. is. d.w. correspondent adrienne krishna was in mozambique before the latest fighting began and is following developments from cape town he sent us this update on the situation and. a very poor part of the country actually the poorest part of the country a lot of people on every that the government is not investing and the government is not listening to them then few of them reddick allies and the security forces
12:14 pm
respond with massive force also taking their families and people who have nothing to do with those radical people and hence their ridiculous what people thought the whole thing spiraled out of control and although the government has been busy over the past months that they were everything is under control it is not it's basically just been quite successful in keeping journalists out and international observers from the area but the situation is bad when we finally managed to get there last month we had terrifying stories from this place people in the camps there you had stories of children who were taken away a father sort of the picture of a 16 year old daughter and said look they just took her away when you have to put anything up there you get stories of decapitating of villagers in front of the entire village and this is has been happening for many months it is still not clear though what the group really once but it appears that it's much more about power and influence than it is about religion. now german chancellor angela merkel says regional leaders need to put an end to the chaos plaguing germany's
12:15 pm
fight against a coronavirus crisis and a virtual summit last week federal and state leaders failed to agree on decisive measures but case numbers are rising sharply and nachle says she'll be forced to take drastic action if states don't backtrack on their decision to start opening parts of the economy german chancellor are going to america on wednesday had the awkward task of walking back a government's newly minted pandemic guidelines for the easter break this unexpected u. turn prompted confusion then added to criticism of her handling of the coronavirus crisis that's put all these 2 piece i deeply regret this and would like to apologize to all german citizens. on sunday americal appeared on one of the country's most popular talk shows to make her case directly to the german people she said germany needs a turning point and criticize federal state leaders that haven't yet grasp the gravity of the situation. when the state leaders conference convenes again which is why i'm not for holding an early conference it has to be clear that we have to
12:16 pm
achieve a consensus merkel says many federal states are being too lax the small state of zoolander is experimented with easing restrictions and the leader of germany's most populous state north rhine-westphalia has a very lax interpretation of the corona god lines. the distribution of roles and that's what i meant by a turning point it's no good because we've all got the same goal i'm convinced of this and that is to guide the country through this pandemic. currently hundreds if not thousands of german vacationers are taking their easter break in majorca while at home infections continue to rise german health experts are demanding decisive action. because here is the till now only curfews of effectively stem the spread of the b one month 7 variant in portugal ireland and england i think we also need to take this approach with the allchin speaking as a doctor the new data shows that infections are increasing so fast that rates of
12:17 pm
$100000.00 which are experts predicted seem all too realistic this should be a warning to us to quickly implement safety mr nice. guy from. medical shares this view and says stricter laws could be necessary possibly including obligatory tests for companies she also floated the idea that germany's lawmakers might pass new legislation faster than the conference of state leaders i in a mood to peddle one possibility would be to revisit the infection protection laws and make changes on a case by case basis we're bound by law to curb the spread and currently that's not happening all nick is the. this remains the case now as it did a week ago let's bring in our chief political correspondent melinda crane for more on this story hi melinda it's good to see you the chancellor definitely doesn't seem satisfied with the current situation. no absolutely not she made it clear in that conversation that she agrees with those very troubling assessments of leading
12:18 pm
up to the molly did just that the case numbers could go up to 100000 new infections a day and she said this is very serious we don't have much time and we need to take this seriously and then she said with characteristic angela merkel understatement that the fact that some regional state leaders are not doing so does not fill her with joy she also went on to say that and we heard that also at the end of the report that she views the obligation of all political leaders at both the federal government level and at the state level to protect people from infection as a binding obligation and that she is not going to simply sit by and watch as the case numbers go up and regional politicians fail to act on that
12:19 pm
obligation ok but what does she want to see the states do that they're not doing already. she says that the agreement that the state leaders came to with the federal government on the 3rd of march which includes a phased plan for loosening restrictions but also an emergency break if infection numbers go up that this emergency break already prescribes all of the necessary measures meaning further limitations on contacts between people curfews during the evening hours and she like some of the as we heard in that report says that in fact curfews in other european countries have proven to be the only effective way to flatten the curve on these massively infectious new mutations of the virus so she says all the measures have been clearly defined and it's simply now up to the states to act and she made it very clear that strategies like that
12:20 pm
also being followed here in berlin of testing strategies testing and shopping as they call it here the throws do not meet her criterion for serious action and just very quickly melinda did she offer any hope on improving the slow vaccination rollout in germany. as she did last week she said we actually need to be optimistic when we look further into the future because the fact is we will see a lot of deliveries of vaccine coming online ready to be to be administered in the 2nd quarter in other words starting in april what she didn't do in her remarks was acknowledge any failings on vaccine procurement and and distribution i think a lot of people will have been looking for more from her on that our chief political correspondent linda crane good to talk to you. now turkey's vaccination efforts got off to a rapid start in mid january when more than half
12:21 pm
a 1000000 people were not related in the 1st few days but the campaign has since slowed down getting the vaccine to people in the country's vast back country requires special efforts that has one team of doctors literally climbing mountains our correspondent yulia han reports from the province of van in eastern turkey. almost 2000 meters high up in the mountains is the village of ultimate in eastern turkey a few 100 residents one street. and this is the doctor in charge of the coronavirus vaccinations here in the village. they nip out of the enter team come regularly many home visits require some serious climbing but they're almost used to it now. no coronavirus cases have been reported in the dead of 4 months that's why some residents are skeptical about the doctor's
12:22 pm
visit but they know this convinced that her commitment is important. people in the villages live close together if there is an infection here it will spread very quickly and many don't like coming to the hospitals in nearby towns so we have to come to them. or are going to. risk getting his 2nd dose today when the doctors 1st came here a few weeks ago he almost keep them out. i was afraid at 1st here in the village they said the doctors were coming to kill the old people or the elderly die from the vaccination i heard and because of that we were scared a lot of other boiling over. they never knows that there is a lot of false information floating around she and her team often tell patients
12:23 pm
that they themselves have been vaccinated as have their grandparents. that doesn't convince everyone but it did convince ali kazak. your knowledge of geography like to be i hardly felt anything it didn't hurt at all less than a bee sting. of your. turkey is a huge country and with vaccination campaigns like this the government hopes to show that it is taking care of everyone even here in the most remote areas and yet critics say that the turkish vaccination drive isn't progressing as smoothly as the authorities would like to portray it. the government recently east turkey street corona measures restaurants are open again and significantly more people are out and about even in high risk cities like east on board a fast vaccination rollout was supposed to make the reopening possible but it seems that's exactly where efforts are now faltering the government originally promised
12:24 pm
to vaccinate 60 percent of the population by may. now they say it's going to be autumn and have them corps off in john j. from the turkish medical association things even that is too optimistic fog. the ministry of health has elected transparency since the beginning of the pandemic how many doses of the vaccine will turkey get and when the public is not properly informed about any of this but it is clear that if we continue at the current rate need up to one and a half years to vaccinate everyone. thought. in the tin that it then of arab and her team have given the last vaccination for today the way back to their car is once again perilous. the doctors are responsible for 20 villages and as long as there are doses they won't run out of work any time soon. sports now and formula one
12:25 pm
fans were treated to a thrilling season opener in bahrain but there was no surprise over the winner offending champion lewis hamilton came out on top a great start for the mercedes driver as he looks for his record breaking 8th world title. lewis hamilton started formula one season opener playing 2nd fiddle to pole sitter much for stop and put the pair to turns but calling to choose in bahrain. hamilton's team mate poulter reports us was also in the mix until up $31.00 when a disastrous pit stop put him out of the running the finn had to be content with the bonus point for fastest lap. was bought us go on a jewel in the desert was on between hamilton and fished up and. the dutchman went in front with just 3 laps to go. but the street outside truck limits in doing so and had to return the lead to the briton. hamilton held on to
12:26 pm
squeak home by 7 tenths of a 2nd and he sounded like a relieved man. pushed up and made a swift exit stage left but it looks like hamilton will face a stiff challenge this year from red pools precocious dutchman. all right let's get a reminder now of our top story here on d.w. engineers have succeeded in partially refloating a container ship that has been blocking the suez canal for nearly a week to salvage teams have been dredging thousands of tons of sand to try and freak ever get. coming up next how can the european union speed up the vaccination campaign across the block e.u. leaders and representatives from the pharma industry are meeting today to discuss press coverage more do you have your business coming up and just if you want to.
12:28 pm
12:29 pm
on the road with our superheroes my mission is clear. and nicole surely should explore germinate. they dive in and they are checking everything out there's a lot going on in. germany tried and tested tradition. in many countries education is still a privilege poverty is one of the main causes some young children working mine charged instead of going to class others can attend classes only after they finish shooting. millions of children all over the world who can't go to school.
12:30 pm
we ask why. because an education makes the world more just. make up your own mind. d.w. make for minds. thanks to dredge your stock holds at a full moon bringing spring tide the container vessel blocking the suez canal is partially floating again but challenges remain also coming up amid an export bed for covert jobs made in the e.u. leaders of bloc are meeting with former representative and hottest speed up vaccinations in europe. and was told were welcome to the program the giant freighter ever given which became wedged sideways and sue's canal last week has partially been re float it now excavators have been digging out the side of the
12:31 pm
canal while tug boats pulled it back into position bringing hope to shipping companies worldwide more than 200 vessels have been waiting for days for the suez canal to reopen the ever given being stuck in the world's most important waterway has delayed tonnes of goods costing the world economy billions. let's get more on the story with lost martin granny years and so see a partner at h.p. see how port consulting and financial correspondent conrad who is in frankfurt thank you to both of you for being on our show let me start with you what are the main difficulties now to completely free the vessel. well at the moment they've they've they've repeated freed the stern of the vessel which is a great thing because it means that they can actually use the vessels pollen out to help it get off herself the challenge now is getting the front off and that's really the bulbous bow if you can imagine yourself when you if you have stood on
12:32 pm
a beach with the waves netting on your feet the waves sort of suck you in and the more around to defeat the mill who waves suck you in so with a bulbous bow the exactly that principle is happening and i know a lot of a lot of law things been going going on about the little tractor that we try to pull cargo out but that's actually been trying to keep that that ball from being cut totally submerged in the sand and the big challenge now is to get that out so that the visit can be finally freed conrad over here in frankfurt the dax had another record high this morning seems like people are quite relieved that this gigantic problem to world trade could soon be solved. yes chris of course it's very difficult to put a exact price tag on the damage that would have cost of already was caused by you know the. vessel stuck in the suez canal the germans insurance group says that a blockage like this could cost global trade between 5 and 9000000000 euros
12:33 pm
a week so i think is what we're seeing here you know this little jump of the german share index tax this morning is really a sigh of relief even though the x. at the moment the index is trading a couple of points below this record high lars back to you in hamburg a container ships have become so massive in the past are they now too big to sail as some suggest. it's a very difficult question to answer the ship owners have been views on them for years under massive pressure to get bigger and bigger to reduce the unit cost and thereby bring the cost of goods for you in the on the shelves down and that pressure is not going away the ships themselves they're there they're difficult benadryl but they they work i think more and more we're finding that the key problem area right now is getting it through the ports be with the suits getting so big i don't know that that size of missile is efficient over the whole supply chain
12:34 pm
but i think in terms of reducing the cost of trade it's in this city evil we just need to manage them and as technology develops so if we will be able to handle them better. conrad and you're in frankfurt there as we continue to deal with these giant ships and world trade relying on them how concerned are people way you are that an accident like this will occur again in the future. well many logistics experts predict that we are going to see more of this you know also in this case of the ever given. winds were playing a role of heavy winds which sort of pushed a boat way was not supposed to go climate change is a factor that makes events like this more and more likely. in frankfurt and lars martin greiner in hamburg thanks to both of you. and on to some of the other global business stories making news the history of the side billy billy sank 6 percent on his 1st day of trading in hong kong as did shares in the chinese
12:35 pm
search engine baidu stave units in hong kong last week chinese take shares are suffering after years regulators announced plans to force firms from china to observe u.s. auto. german exporters are increasingly optimistic that they'll benefit from economic recovery in asia and the united states a survey by the economic institute showed their expectations in march rise to the highest value since january 20th 11 it was optimism in nearly all sectors. your leaders and representatives of covert 19 vaccine makers are meeting today and it's going to be a heated discussion as the e.u. grapples with a shortage of doses the bloc last week decided to restrict the export of vaccines made within the block patents are also likely to be on the agenda. for lucrative patients restricting the global vaccine rollout not necessarily since last
12:36 pm
september preparations have been underway to produce biotechs sheltered at this plant east of hamburg and. now you can see the markings on the wall now up in the empty space above new pipelines are being set up and welded. then this will become one of the 3 production rooms. the issue is that it's a new active ingredient from the plant 1st has to be converted to handle it properly. the production plant is expected to turn out 10000000 doses a week beginning in may by. taxing production will increase significantly in the 2nd quarter this year that's also what we've promised european and global governments pondered over it we can be grateful we've still got as a mystic vaccine manufacturing industry and europe from what sorts of products on which means in india are up on
12:37 pm
a while owns the world's largest vaccine plant is currently working on the license for us to seneca to make a 1000000000 doses by the end of this year. we're going to be the lowest priced 19 vaccine manufacture in the world like we are. it's going to be priced in a few 100 rupees. budget priced mass production in india not all vaccine makers have misused licenses for that and now india wants patient rights to be suspended. the world trade organization has called on its members to cooperate more closely. however member countries would have to agree unanimously to suspend painted bright big pharma are not the only object to that idea mary of a c.e.o. research is humanitarian logistics she's against suspending patient rights maybe
12:38 pm
the finance. will decide to change it boise's and not to invest any more than this is if it meant which is the gut. so in the long at the end it may be better than actually for the companies collectively to buy the pack in tights other than to stop them right now but governments of prioritizing their own populations which is a very risky strategy if we don't focus on the global vaccinations and the monthly shims and the comic also here. it will need some smart thinking and global cooperation for humanity to finally defeat the coronavirus. for more of those i'm not joined by natalie amol she is the director general of the european federation of stock pharmaceutical industries and associations welcome to w natalie the world needs more volumes of covert vaccines quickly what's the objection to temporarily suspend patents in order to ramp up production what's so
12:39 pm
bad about that. well in fact there isn't a need for that right now so we're seeing a multiplication of collaboration's we have more than 256 corporations between companies who have the vaccine are in different stages of approval some of them are already approved and manufacturing sites or companies around the world and the most critical element of this ramping up of the scaling up of this collaboration is to transfer the technology from the company that invented and then of the vaccine to the companies will have to ramp up the production because there is a biological actors and that is a biological actors and they require not only very specific environments as we saw in your clips just before the interview not only the facilities but also the
12:40 pm
technical know how of the people handling the difference that so this is the most critical element and giving somebody a patent is really not enough and actually it could also be dangerous if it's not connected with all the technical know how to transfer so enabling licensing like it's been happening now ensures that whoever the technology is licensed to is then also has the technology transfer and is able to do the right level of adaptation of their systems to get right to safe and effective that there there is a shortage of vaccines not only around the world but also 'd in the e.u. hard concern are you that this export ban for cover jobs will actually be enacted. so i was reassured by the outcome of the heads of state meeting because in fact it was quite clearly called the number of member states called upon the global perspective making sure that the supply chains are resilient globally that we don't
12:41 pm
stop the flow of trade at any moment because this is really as i heard in your program a little bit earlier a global response to a global pandemic so i was very reassured by the stance of the member states towards this measure that it would not be used but rather that we went to everything in our capacity to increase the volume of production and we now have 4 parts approve it european level and from the others a global level but there are more in the pipeline of approval and we're really waiting for those to come along as well so that we can increase the production to reach the $11000000000.00 that we need this year but not only under see the conundrum here right i mean astra zeneca promised r. and $20000000.00 vaccines and has delivered quarter of that so the issue of course is this is a trade we're trying to produce more than double the amount of broke all vaccines and they're only covered 19 vaccines and at the moment we only have
12:42 pm
a handful approved so we're expecting those handfuls including astra zeneca to cover the whole while that's not realistic that was never the case that was never what we were hoping for we are slowly and i think it's incredibly fast the way that we've already had some vaccines approved in a year the pandemic being declared we don't even i think hope at the beginning and now we have to get the successes also approved and the ramping up of all the different kinds the focus on just a few has been extreme and a bit unrealistic not only mall director general of the european federation of pharmaceutical industries and associations thank you for your time. and finally the russian made a lot of cars one of cuba's most visible soviet era legacies sanctions since $960.00 stop imports of american cars so cuba started buying cars from the soviet union 1st lot as arrived in the late 1960 s. now an active club of cuban owners performs great feats of engineering to keep the
