it's an economy where the gyptian stage receives a lot of revenues from the suez canal and some of the revenues obviously. not generated at the moment. some of the efforts a period of the gyptian government themselves so they will do face some costs this will certainly damage their reputation and to some to some extent perhaps but this is again yet too early to to quantify exactly the damage is all with egypt an economy that's if we look at the bigger picture of shipping here these ships keep getting bigger the canal is not getting wider as we now are shipping companies going to have to try to rethink the routes that they take. well i think continue shipping companies reevaluate the risk of certain routes every day you know they do that as weather situations come up and so forth now zeus' canal is a massive shortcut on the trade route between asia and europe so i don't think that this cannot can be replaced easily i mean the the roads from china to to to europe if we went around africa would be 30 percent longer for example. so it's not easy to replace those can all those can go up act

to be international i quite frankly if i'm going to be perfectly honest about it i don't trust any gyptian led investigation because this is a government that has proven itself to be corruption corrupt and complicit in in crimes against against the egyptian people and others so it's very important that this is an international you know sort of collaborative investigation i think it's also worth underscoring that this is happening tragically arman day when there is a there is news of a horrible passenger train crash in egypt that killed dozens of people and we have to highlight that the egyptian government is authoritarian and authoritarianism and corruption and inefficiency and incompetence and unfortunately egypt has become a place of disasters it is a place unfortunately where buildings collapse where trains crash and we're seeing what's happening in the in the suez canal where these past few days james looked to me like you were reacting to some of what mohammed was saying maybe wanted to jump in please go ahead. well it wasn't so much what mattered was saying about the situation and ce

some of the efforts are carried out by the judge and gyptian government themselves so they will do face some costs this will certainly damage their reputation and to some to some extent perhaps but is again you're too early to to quantify exactly the damages with egypt and that's if we look at the bigger picture of shipping here these ships keep getting bigger the canal is not getting lighter as we now are shipping companies going to have to try to rethink the routes that they take. well i think continue shipping companies reevaluate the risk of certain routes every day you know they do there just as weather situations come up and so forth now zoosk you know is a massive shortcut on the trade route between asia and europe so i don't think that this can all can be placed easily i mean the roads from china to to to europe if we went around africa would be 30 percent longer for example. so it's not easy to replace this is to know who is going to go up actually extended some parts of the can no 2 to 2 thirds why are ships internet easier now then section where the earlier than was dark was

clear the canal immediately there would still be days of backlogs of vessels to get out there the gyptian have begun to dredge along the foer section of the vessel on the port side the north side of the vessel but the survey company smit probably would want to do a full survey of the vessel there is a danger of going too fast and potentially endangering the vessel they don't want the vessel to shift they don't want it to roll in this before they don't want to cause further damage that would expand as part of the same time the egyptians want to get this vessel out and you know official in egypt today talked about the fact that the canal will be cleared in 48 to 72 hours i think that's optimistic beyond what the capabilities are showing us right now. and let's stay in egypt as 32 people at least have been killed and scores more injured in a high speed train collision in central egypt authorities say the crash was caused by people pulling emergency brakes on the leading train president obviously has warned that anyone found responsible will face serious consequences. twisted steel and mangle

sense of vision there has to be concern for egyptian people because it's egyptian people every day gyptian is that a pay the price for these regular accidents for you know the product for buildings collapsing you know authoritarianism breeds inefficiency it breeds incompetence it breeds corruption and c.c. just hasn't shown the will to want to fix. any of these problems quite frankly and to put this into context there are about according to figures 1400000 people in egypt who use the trains every day passengers that is so do you expect any sort of reaction from egyptians on the streets in the passengers that use these trains well i mean injections are mostly muzzled i mean this again it's an authoritarian society the media apparatus provides a singular narrative that is favorable to c.c. and even egypt since you know our problem on social media their social media accounts are monitored so but certainly we know from anecdotally and talking with people and even going back to the last major accident 421000 people are outraged they're angered and obviously people are mourning mourning their de

in from the netherlands to help the so far unsuccessful attempts to dislodge the vessel while the gyptian officials seemed confident the su is canal would reopen soon the dutch expert said they wouldn't commit to a specific time frame saying it could take days or weeks it's a mammoth task the ship is 400 mi is long weighing 200000 tons and it's stuck in what's often described as the most important shipping lane in the world a maritime accident with global implications shipping analysts already predicting disruption and price hikes the series can now i'm a feat of amazing engineering that the world has taken for granted for 150 years what has happened is very unusual i can't remember it happening before. the ever given container ship became wedged across the so is canal on choose day when high winds blew it off course about 12 percent of global trade passes through the 193 kilometer long canal which connects the red sea with the mediterranean providing the shortest link between asia and europe the vessel carrying around $20000.00 containers is registered in panama and operated by taiwanese

international investigation in something like this will be a challenge for everyone including their gyptian authorities don't forget well you just mentioned the history of the suez canal there who is going out as an iconic symbol of egyptian independence and we can take some time yes sir can i ask you to 0 in on egypt a bit more this that you've told us about the why there are implications but the importance the economic importance the employment all of these things to egypt itself. yeah there are 2 main aspects of the revenues they get from the passage of ships through the canal which are worth up to $6000000000.00 a year which i think is the so possibly the whole most important source of foreign exchange we need it and the 2nd part of it is of course the developments that have been taking place around the canal area where the suez canal treason where you've got a number of investments especially from china and elsewhere in the last few years in from companies who are wanting to take advantage of the strategic position of the canal the european markets on the other side so they employ a lo
