a crisis erupted when the suez canal was abdicated.as closed to british, french and israeli ships. israel invaded egypt. russia proposed a soviet american force to restore order but secretary dulles prevailed on the combatants to yield to a u.n. mission pending mediation. also in the mideast a communist faction attempted to overlow the lebanese government. the president asked for aid from the united states. in the first application of the eisenhower doctrine, the president dispatched u.s. marines to beirut despite strong russian protests. the presence of the marines quickly restored order. when an acceptable plan was adopted in the united nations guaranteeing the integrity of lebanon, american troops were withdrawn in favor of aun force. a sim erring problem came to a head in 1958 when islands were bombed by the republic of china. the united states's seventh fleet prepared for action, though america's allies opposed action. the shelling dwindled to a stop leaving the china conflict unresolved. in cuba, several rebel factions united to

the ever given — the huge container ship that disrupted global trade when it got stuck across the suez canalt dock. this was just one ship — a very big one, as you can see — butjust one ship which became stranded across one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world and delayed hundreds of vessels. the knock—on effects of that lasted for weeks, if not months. freight rates, the amount that businesses pay to bring goods in from china shot up, and they haven't gone down since because of other problems like covid outbreaks in china. and that means at the moment, businesses are trying to stock up for the busy christmas period. there wondering what rates they'll pay and whether they'll be able to get the goods at all. what that means for you and me is that our christmas shopping may cost us a lot more, and we may have a lot less choice. and this vessel is a very powerful symbol, i should say, of all that disruption. there's growing international concern over belarus, after an exile and critic living in ukraine was found dead. police there have opened a murder inquiry into the death. vitaly shisho
