that has now started. and most extreme option is to remove some containers to lighten the load, in the hope that the ship rises. this kind of thing has been done before but it�*s never quick. a similar—sized vessel also ran aground in sand and they successfully refloated her after excavating and with the support of tugs. it took six days. what�*s extraordinary is how one ship can cause such a massive trafficjam. more than 230 vessels are now stuck, and all this reveals how much depends on this vital link. about £7 billion worth of goods travel through it every day and in all, it carries something like 12% of global trade, and all that hinges on getting one ship moving again. and as the waiting drags on, there are other routes — much longer and much more expensive. so might the shipping industry have to go for them? to do so, of course, involves somewhere between seven, eight to 12 days extra steaming, extra fuel consumption and so forth, but it is definitely an option. one of the other disadvantages is the

what has characterised the last three of these has been each time, there has been an inconclusive result pretty unstable coalition which is usually lasted only a matter of months, and here we are on the fourth attempt by israelis to go to the poll to make a fundamental decision really over the thing they're most divided about, the leadership of benjamin netanyahu. we had the exit polls and they are showing once again an inconclusive result, a result that puts neither of those blocks over the line, not yet a clear route to victory for either side. we should stress these are exit polls, they're forecast, it's going to be a tight race and the official account will be delayed somewhat because of coronavirus measures as well. but it's look like yet another dead heat. let's hear a bit more about that. i'm joined by the political consultant. mitchell, the political consultant. mitchell, the first thing to say is this is a coalition system of government. before we get into the nitty—gritty, nobody has won. i before we get into the nitty-gritty, nobody has won.— nobody has won. i always like to s

honestly, it's inexplicable to hear that the uk has cut its aid for yemen at a time when the uk has a for its presidency of the group of seven leading industrialised countries. the organisation that is at the closest, the closer to the front line when it comes to doing food deliveries would be the world food programme. organisations like mine, the international rescue committee, we work on the wider nutrition agenda committee work on health. so we are treating the victims of malnutrition, but that difference from about £167 million down to £87 million, that is literally at mouths being fed through the world food programme. because these are people who are literally facing starvation. because of a combination of conflict which is cutting off aid, lack of aid because of lack of money, the number getting humanitarian aid in the form of food support was cut from 13 million to nine million last year, and a commercial economy whichjust does not work because of the consequences of the war. yeah. it's 187 down to 90 million, but the war is the problem obviously. britain, the us involved in th
