Suez Canal blocked after huge container ship wedged across it – BBC News
A giant container ship the length of four football pitches has become wedged across Egypt’s Suez Canal, blocking one of the world’s busiest trade routes.
Dozens of vessels are stuck, waiting for rescue boats to free the 400m-long (1,312ft) ship, which was knocked off course by strong winds.
Egypt has reopened the canal’s older channel to divert some traffic until the grounded ship can move again.

In the latest evidence of growing tension between Britain and China the foreign secretary Dominic Raab has confirmed that the UK is suspending its extradition treaty with Hong Kong.
It’s in response to Beijing’s imposition of a new security law aimed at ending political protests in Hong Kong.
The UK has already offered residency rights to 3 million Hong Kong citizens but China has accused the UK of âbrutal meddlingâ in its internal affairs.
In Hong Kong pro-democracy campaigners who fought against the introduction of the security law say they’re being pursued by the Chinese authorities.

Plans announced by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to send asylum seekers who arrive in the UK to Rwanda in Africa have been described as “chillingâ, âcruelâ and âimmoralâ by charities and politicians.
Boris Johnson said the ÂŁ120m pilot scheme would “save countless livesâ. He claimed it would break the business model of “vile people smugglers”.
The scheme would initially focus on single men arriving on boats or lorries in the UK. They would be sent on a 4,000-mile trip to Rwanda where they would be processed and, if granted asylum, be offered long-term accommodation in the African country.
The UK Home Secretary Priti Patel, who travelled to the Rwandan capital Kigali to sign the deal, said the “vast majority” of those arriving in the UK “illegally” would be considered for relocation to Rwanda.
More than 160 charities and campaign groups called on the UK government to abandon the plan, which they described as âshamefully cruelâ, as well as unworkable and unlawful. The policy is expected to face legal challenge in the courts.
Other critics said the announcement was an attempt to distract from Boris Johnsonâs political difficulties. It was unveiled shortly after he was found guilty of criminal conduct for breaking his own lockdown rules, with parties in Downing Street at the height of the Covid pandemic.

The Prime Minister has told the Mayor of Greater Manchester that he is prepared to intervene and impose the highest level of coronavirus restrictions on the region if they can’t reach an agreement.
The Mayor, Andy Burnham, is seeking a bigger package of financial support for businesses that would be forced to close as a result of the Tier 3 restrictions.
He has told Boris Johnson that local leaders are ready to meet the government at any time to seek agreement. Manchester has some of the highest levels of coronavirus transmission in the UK.
Meanwhile Lancashire has agreed to impose the highest restrictions, joining the Liverpool city region on Tier 3 â or Very High Alert.
It means no mixing between households indoors â or outdoors in certain settings including private gardens. Pubs and bars will close unless they serve a substantial meal. And people must avoid non-essential travel into or out of the area.
However there are some difference between Manchester and Liverpool, despite them both being placed at Tier 3. In Lancashire, unlike Liverpool, gyms and leisure centres won’t have to close but soft play centres and car boot sales will.
The Mayor of Liverpool says it’s âmadnessâ to have different rules for Lancashire and heâs warned that it is âsowing confusionâ.
Meanwhile people from areas of the UK with high levels of coronavirus – including Tier 2 in England – are now banned from entering Wales.

A boat carrying nearly 270 people has capsized off northern Cyprus as a search and rescue operation is under way.
The ship began taking on water and “was in danger of sinking at a location four nautical miles off Kyrenia Port,” the Turkish Interior Ministry said.
“There has been a loss of life and there are injuries,” the prime minister of the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus said.

55 million people across England will be in the two toughest levels of measures when lockdown ends next week. What’s the rationale for the new tier system? Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog
Tougher rules for England will “strike a balance” when the national lockdown ends next week, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said.
At a Downing Street briefing, the prime minister acknowledged that the stricter three-tiered system of regional measures to tackle coronavirus would bring “heartbreak and frustration”.
Most of England will be in the toughest two levels of measures from 2 December and the system will be reviewed every two weeks, with the first review scheduled for 16 December – so an area’s tier level may change before Christmas.
Policy Editor Lewis Goodall reports and Kirsty Wark is joined by former health secretary Andrew Lansley, Labour shadow minister Cat Smith and former chair of Pizza Express Luke Johnson

Humankind is an obvious plague to this planet. Every day several irreplaceble species are lost forever, millions of years of evolution lost because of short-term capitalism, money-making yacht-di*** capitalism is the downfall of humanity

The anchor says the ship "lost power" @0:38 @0:56 the man says it's from "high winds" I say it was sabotage/terrorism. Look at what Klaus Schwaab says 1 year later… that the supply chains will be deeply affected.

Now a Greek cargo ship blocked the canal due to engine failure. Do they have to pay compensation to Suez Canal authority for stopping the traffic?

January 12, 2024 at 7:12 pm
It seems almost intentionally naive to have such an easily obstructed or otherwise blockable trade route. I realize the undertaking and the expense, but it would probably be a good idea to update this canal, and build in some redundancy (alternate route and/or workaround). How long before an "act of terrorism" targets a place like this and renders it useless for months or even years?? The only reason it hasn't happened yet, is because the people who stand to lose the most from such an attack, happen to be the ones who orchestrate them. But once something happens, or they decide it's worth it, mark my words, this place WILL BE targeted successfully, along with who knows what else, and bam, instant depression….

This isn't first time that Japan fcked the world. Blame 30MPH wind for blockage is another lies created by Japanese. Japan stopped Russia from leaking Chernobyl nuclear accident water into ocean. Now they are saying that they will leak Fukushima radioactive water. If it's clean then why are they fighting it so hard from IAEA from verify their data. Japanese government don't have to say that they are lying about how radiated Fukushima water is because their action tells it all. Japan with many earthquakes must not have any nuclear power station because it's danger to the world.

It was a successful test run for china
China did the Suez traffic jam to test what would happen ???
And why did china do it ??
Answer to see if it could block the ships from West countries like Europe and USA for example war ships
So why would china want to block USA war ships from coming into Asians water.
Simple china will attack Taiwan but USA and Europe will try to interfere so in order to test if they can block their war ship from coming they have conducted a successful test run of the blockage lolđđđ
Yes I am a genius
