In 2019 is very tribal the democrats will have hared things that they think put donald trump very firmly in the dock the republicans think this is very much nothing to get worried about and donald trump did nothing wrong whereas donald trump himself he underlined exactly what you just said there by standing on the white house lawn today and saying i wanted nothing i want to do nothing yet as little notepad there sort of shouted that in and tried to ram home. Well the timing of him saying there was no quid pro quo which is very important is interesting because he said that to Gordon Gordon sandland said to him what do you want from ukraine i want selenski to do the right thing i dont want a quid pro quo why is that phrase become important because that very day the media were reporting that aid to ukraine was being held up because donald trump was looking for a quid pro quo and someone clearly said to donald trump if thats the case that does not look good for you this is a real problem theres going to be more evidence over the next couple of days that is going to just take the direction that the democrats are moving this which is towards the idea of impeachment its interesting though that might pence and might be pompey or have refused to give evidence to what they see as a charade they will face summonses from the court sorry from the congress but the reality is we are going to hear from minor players but big thing again today gordon song and was there a quid pro quo or yes thats what all those hours of testimony boiled down into today thank you alan fischer in washington d. C. So lets hear a little from the people who have spoken today at the hearing in part of her testimony senior u. S. Department of defense official laura cooper stated ukraine was worried about the u. S. Military aid hold up back in july on the issue of ukraines knowledge of the hold or of ukraine asking questions about possible issues with the flow of assistance my staff showed me to unclassified emails that they received from the state department. One was received on july 25th at 2 31 pm that email said that the Ukrainian Embassy and House Foreign Affairs committee are asking about Security Assistance the 2nd email was received on july 25th at 4 25 pm that email said that the hill knows about the f m f situation to an extent and so does the Ukrainian Embassy i did not receive either of these emails my staff does not recall informing me about them and i do not recall being made aware of their content at the time and only the u. S. Ambassador to the golden sun and gave the most anticipated testimony so far in the public hearings was there a quid pro quo as i testified previously with regard to the requested white house call and the white house meeting the answer is yes mr giuliani conveyed to secretary perry ambassador volcker and others that President Trump wanted a Public Statement from president selenski committing to investigations of brewery sma and the 2016 election mr giuliani expressed those requests directly to the ukrainians and mr giuliani also expressed those requests directly to us we all understood that these prerequisites for the white house call and the right white house meeting reflected President Trumps desires and requirements and that is where we will leave our rolling coverage of all of the impeachment inquiry in the United States aljazeera world is next with about the headlines in about half an hours time. I was having an experience which ill never ever forget i was 19 years old at the time. And it was quite a surprise to find myself in russia in the middle of a war the front seat literally. Numbers werent there but dont parents i worried and i. Know theres a worry in times really it was a worrying time for us. Not knowing. If and when were going to get out and it was very worrying for the parents as well or you know. Their sons or husbands and all that was going to come out because of the way the war was going but once it was over there was just a waiting game. During this conflict there was a bit of anxiety because if youre in the middle of a war trapped there you dont really know which side accidentally could hit your ship so its quite scary times and it wasnt a glorious place to be obviously when you see a conflict like that and you watch it on the televisions there are on the television or film war looks glorious book to be honest it is not it is completely horrific. We dont know if the israelis are going to push further from where they stopped on the sinai site further into egypt or we dont know alls we know always wish to walk in there like trapped animals. What would happen who knows. Nobody could tell us. Thats what we have to live with. It was in a prison as you would know it but used you could go anywhere couldnt do anything. Just to carry on. Thats an. Opened 150 years ago to connect the mediterranean with the red sea the suez canal is a remarkable engineering achievement. However one of dent in the storied history of suez remains largely untold how in 196714 cargo ships unwittingly sailed into war not to emerge but another 8 long years. Those manning the ships were neither prisoners nor hostages most came and went every few months but they did succeed in building a baritone Community Like no other. With their ships left in splendid isolation and unable to leave the suez canal bay stablished their own unofficial micro nation complete with traditions sporting competitions and even postage stamps. They try to make the best of the situation in the great better late a particularly wide section of the canal socalled because of its high salt content. The merchant seamen were not remotely experts on the conflict into which they landed theirs was a world of engines and currents and ropes navigation was their strength and war was alien to them yet they found themselves surrounded by the bitterest of enemies in a confrontation that was none of their making. As months 20 years their cargo ships became covered in fine desert sand which from a distance gave the flotilla a distinct yellow color as a result of the vessels became known as the yellow fleet. And now miss high no clearly meant. Its fire its fancy. Stood on its fight off its year shifts north end. Of the north end and you must start. North. In the eyes of. The british models mccourts t.

In djibouti muslims are not merely conscious position if. Vies im out to missed. My name is sean dring i was an able seaman on the m. V. Which was a british cargo ship which predominantly sailed to Australia New Zealand from the u. K. Taken general congo there im bringing back vegetables fruit meat back to the u. K. Has basically run. On this particular journey we had been out. To australia and. Back for the united kingdom. We left fremantle. To cross the. Indian ocean and come in through aden. They. When we arrived at the. Southern end the vessels were more outside on a convoy of 14 ships would commence the next day phase slice through a little bit a lake on demba ba progressed a journey through to port site which is roughly a 24 hour journey on not mourning. On the convoy began to move into the base a late. This was the cold war a time of great tension between the superpowers of east and west rumors intelligence and espionage where the currencies of the day. And on the 13th of may 967. 00 soviet intelligence warned of an imminent attack by israel the attack they said might begin on the syrian front where israel had assembled troops. Egypt which at the time had a Defense Agreement with this syrian our eyes prepared for battle. These were extremely tense times in the region a decade earlier in 1956 Research Crisis had seen israel invade the Sinai Peninsula part of egypt in a conflict that drew in the worlds major powers. A large number of egyptian Ground Forces across the suez canal and dug in of the Sinai Peninsula israels response was to put its own army on to a state of alert. 11 years later on the 22nd of may 1967 egypt closed 2 israeli ships access to the straits of tiran a strategic waterway leading to the port of a lot in the south of israel. The next day egypt also close the entrance to the gulf of aqaba to all ships carrying the israeli flag as well as to International Oil tankers bound for a lot the rhetoric between both sides ramped up and war appeared to be imminent. But to crewmen on a brief supply stop in aden now part of yemen the geopolitics of the middle east. Were not uppermost in their minds. On the way home from the far east we bunkered we stopped in aden and bunkered there to pick up fresh water in oil and we picked up some supplies there as well. During this time the 6 engineer and i decided we were asked the chief if we go ashore just for a last minute bit of shopping before we go into the suez canal and up the red sea. And as a result of that we were on shore and we met a couple of british soldiers marines and they were on patrol and they said to us i think you to a better get back to ship because its going to kick off around here we didnt really know what that meant so we went back to the ship. Anyway we finished bomb queen in aden with the oil and water and supplies and we headed up the red sea i think it was before we went up there and see or join this time we had a meeting with the ships officers and the captain and they knew something was going wrong but they said should we carry on they took a vote whether they should carry on to the series can now or turn around and go back round. The bottom end of africa however my personal vote was carry on. For me. Into the sun through for. The president you had me into hadnt and as i did become trapped machines id forgot vast a lot of it indoors and on and of it. Yes this would. Give. The views invite a shift to shift a lag and i go. Rhymefest 00 get 20 fifths ensure for the year ziva vida do is kick out of the of the violent risk would have to go to shift and in doing good its kind of lifted off the conduct among artists in east st to me once a seat on to us and tell us could not fix. It or not so now if im. Going to shift this somalian on to our sports you know its not far off to my not to model because it nor try to put. Less than a month out of it shipping was barred from the straits of tiran israel launched a series of attacks on egypt and positions triggering the 96076. 00 day arab israeli war which drew in not just egypt but also syria and jordan it was monday the 5th of june 1970. I was on the watch when all of a sudden we had an amazing noise of a jet engine and as we looked up. We see in a formation of sri fighter planes coming across from the sinai side just above must fight and flew between ourselves the last 4 ships to 3 planes crossed they immediately climb show High Altitude and as we looked out the. They began to do what we now know was a means of blowing up the wrong way at the airports or the air force base. When. We could see it it was less than a mile and a quarter way out than oculus we watched the jets bombed a long ways 1st and then they israeli warplanes which were parked all by the angers was then attacked those 3 awful nation of sri israeli jets one state dropped their payload they came back and crossed towards sinai again again very very low on must heise and then across battle the sinai no sooner had they gone done another wave of survey came in and did exactly the same and we watched these formations over the next. A couple of alice every 4 minutes 5 minutes they would be that common a crush do an option as much damage is sacred to the Egyptian Air Force base which they literally obliterated. Oh all. While the war was going on where you just sister just saw everything that was going on because it was only a mile from the s. 1000000 rampal its a resort applying her. We sure were there reading so let me know at times we stayed out on deck and we was just watching the the battle going on shore saw it round rand is mayor and the surrounding areas we watched her with a trace of bullets gold a red polish we could air with it like the explosions gharyan and also but the catalyst there was said to us you know you play should be careful so we still watched it so we really didnt sleep much when i was 6 days. 6 days after the war began mr aziz ceased israeli tanks and troops attacking egypts Sinai Peninsula reached this it was canal israeli troops stood in the eastern side of the waterway gyptian forces were massed on the western side in a standoff that gave both control of traffic on the canal. The egyptians reacted by closing the suez canal their goal was to physically prevent israel from having access to the canal so all ships were scuttled to make the canal impossible passenger ships would be allowed to complete their journeys but cargo vessels could go no further than the great better laid bare they were instructed to drop anchor and wait for further developments this decision brought together 14 ships of different flags for british 2 west german 2 polish 2 from sweden one french one czechoslovakia and one bulgarian and an american vessel war and politics at. Unwittingly assembled the yellow fleet. We became trapped because we. Very soon afterwards within a matter of days that a trench been sunk it seemed to us training open or close on it at the northern entrance as we understood it the that probably done the same thing to the south of us so the audio of us making in the sky Something Like that sunny to the south seemed to good to know that there was probably no possibility whatsoever. There was news suddenly navigations there was no indefinite no telephone tone and like that and it was days the only thing it we had bits that i mean ships radio but you could communicate all over the walls with. That this last stop by the egyptian authorities to stop us using that because lets face it we could possibly have sent you know a lot Enter Mission as to what was going on to be bombed allowed to do that and to stop us from doing the we had a policeman on board each ship and his job was to look after the interests of the egyptian authorities and ensure that we did not use not radio. Shortly after we were there the captain of our ship thought we do need to get in touch with these other people and he made it his business to get in the lifeboat because the light boat was our taxi we lowered the ships like guy who got in our taxi and went right to all the other ships and suggested to those people where to make the best of this possibly count on the all agreed that this would be a really good idea from following on from not then they came up with another a new. Amber of unique ideas as to why they could best improve life for everybody on the lake. One of the lifeboats manned by one of the officers aboard the ship went to the israeli side and i think that they were taken in a shore by the israelis and sent back to london so at all costs we stead of the israeli side but there was an occasion and the early days when we went id that a memo came from the egyptian side to say that any of the any of the boats sailing side the perimeter of the ships in the canal will be shot upon. A couple of months past weve been told that the International Red cross were trying to talk to both parties egyptians and israelis. About what they could do for the crews who were trapped. The captain had decided that if we could keep push kalitan crew on board. Then the rest of the crew could be repatriated. On the egyptian authorities and the israelis authorities allowed and then call it all from athens through to cairo. I was one of the Skeleton Crew of the young man i was 20 was a seaman an old the captain swung to the dot. In the event that. The canal would open we just needed sufficient crew to mount the vessel and take it out to port side on the mediterranean side. I didnt really. Understand or appreciate what the dangers might have been at that point i just saw well ok. Undy only this died on the vine no money they havent got children or not old age you know it yet it should be me that stays here for half a lover or however long it takes for this conflict to end i have no idea it was going to end up the way it did. As the guns fell silent what to do with the 14 cargo ships stranded in the middle of the canal became a problem that neither egypt nor israel was willing or able to resolve. The sailors on board seemed destined to be patently marooned in this isolated desert waterway communication with the outside world was tightly controlled with radio callers restricted to medical emergencies. The ships owners made a decision to rotate the crews so after 4 months or more each merchant seamen would be replaced even though there was little work to do apart from basic maintenance all the sailors continue to receive their food wages. Coming up in part to be other fleet crews devised different ways some quite ingenious to improve conditions on board. The way had a lot of big games spin l the next sicko 968 a thing and so the ball the ships decided to of a many a lympics and of course they are gonna start that all off all sorts of things. Aljazeera. And to you. Im come on santa maria with a look at the headlines on aljazeera and the latest session of hearings on the impeachment inquiry into the u. S. President as weve heard from both the Deputy Assistant secretary of defense or koopa and also david hale the on the secretary for Political Affairs as they were being questioned over what they knew about events leading up to the holding of u. S. Military aid to ukraine early this year we also had the u. S. Ambassador to the European Union golden sun speaking earlier he gave probably the most anticipated testimony so far in 4 days of public hearings he described broad involvement at the upper levels of the trumpet ministration and a Pressure Campaign against ukraine while someone testified everyone was aware of those efforts the white house has since that his testimony completely exonerates the president was there a quid pro quo as i testified previously with regard to the requested white house call and the white house meeting the answer is yes mr giuliani conveyed to secretary perry ambassador volcker and others that President Trump wanted a Public Statement from president selenski committing to investigations of the research and the 2016 election mr giuliani expressed those requests directly to the ukrainians and mr giuliani also expressed those requests directly to us. We all understood that these prerequisites for the white house call and the right white house meeting reflected President Trumps desires and requirements top American Defense official laura cooper later told the impeachment inquiry that she found out in july about a hold being placed on military aid to ukraine and that the president had ordered it is just a couple of other headlines a magnitude 6. 00 earthquake which is struck in thailand near the district of one nun in the north thats east of chiang mai that happened in the past hour or so and at least 11 People Killed after airstrikes and missiles targeted parts of syrias rebel controlled adlib province activists are blaming the Syrian Government and iranian militias for a missile that targeted in i. D. P. Camps near the Turkish BorderSyrian Regime and strikes also targeted. In southern libya these are in 25 minutes time right now though back to al jazeera world. I remember the 1st time i walked into the newsroom and it felt like being in the General Assembly of the United Nations has so many nationalities. Just different places but its one that gives us gives us the ability to a. World but we can understand what its like to have a different perspective and i think that is a strength for aljazeera. B. L. O. Fleet was a convoy of merchant ship stranded in the su is cannot but the 967 arab israeli war to survive their cruise lives in the cargo of food this ships were carrying. Dead and up bundles of things that we of edible stuff that we heard us cargoes on the ships remember the ships came from all over the far East Nashville area that come from you know vietnam hong kong fell up in that come from a shale here in the world loaded with old salts of good china and about the same time as i was there the companies the ship warned us and said look all this cargo is going to be a constructive total loss it will not be used again you know there was things like a robot and t. I mean theres thousands of tons of tea and cases of the theres thousands of tons of rubble and bales of all but the stuff that was good for us in the canal we were told that we could use so we had there have always knew better than that and and the hutchinson they had found all sorts of books full of clothes. You know like one of the ships had been to vietnam and it was full of prolongs shelly and ships they were all full of frozen meat canal lawman stuff like that so we didnt go we didnt go short with this you know the way they were all the stuff was handed round the leak you know so that was really no problem at all when. If your ship if you was on. The American Ship as an example and you didnt have any fresh fruit because you could get skinned scabby if you dont it in then the issue is just stuck in this ship in the middle of the lake with the belt down all the time so your captain wouldve spoke to my captain and said look can you send some can you give me some of your cattle because we cant miss its about sustaining life so we will go and open the hatches down below open the fridge is get out for carcasses of lamb go and open the fridge goes to where all the apples lay it all boxes of apples on it pays to get them all. Canned fruit you know which have been produced in australia to camden to ship and back to the ute to europe to the u. K. Are like paul would be down in the water basically to its goals what we would put in to take to your ship to give you and then you would want to thank us for that. So you would say well look the only thing i go is whatever take that back. And that should change you can change. Your mind on the can all after a couple years they cargoes within the holes of the ships was deteriorating and in particular on the ships had to come from a shell yeah they have they had frozen food disk it was costing a lot of money every day to keep the phasers going to keep the stuff coal they also had lots of things like poles and children and they realised that you know there was a limit as to how long they can afford to keep this these these color goes beyond reasonable condition the dead osc far a mission to try and ship there was a colossal on the daleks ondrea and get them shipped from there but there i understand that they actually i thought this would not follow that the dolphin. So the decision was made to try and get rid of that stuff we had there with no option but to dump a lot of the side special fed the fish if nothing else you know. As munster did 2 years maintaining those ships became increasingly difficult temperatures in summer would touch 50 celcius winter desert nights could be bitterly cold engines needed to be regularly service to ready for the eventual day when the ships would be released fuel supplies were also limited with no prospect. Of replenishment. They for bottles are. A little. Shift and stand howden them out of inks and mother in home soil and on the world on the. Allowed governor. So if im strong you can leave father d on the water. A little bit of use of a shift and stand out. Among the 5 again ones of arda. The most amount of shift of muscle i can. Know the sort ill see on the also for the job at all for those of us on the ballot helps at least. 10 descends on figure when i was on some cong. Victory for the machine it doesnt leave just one then the hows the form come to us avoid the spot us 50 say oh it was a very heated moment im odd and im go. Im saying if on the part of im going to be mostly the money for them that month so get outside im still into the encounter via couldnt the how the phone then that come out of a snow. My responsibility chambord to ship where to ensure that all the Electrical Apparatus and electronic operatic on board the ship was kept and 1st class working order because we expected to be either the canal any day so had we gone to another port from the canal they had the ships deck officers would have expected all the electronic equipment and lactic an equipment to unload the cargo so even though we were in the canal i still had to do what we then called rig team duty to ensure that everything was checked that it was working and it was in good order. With little to do apart from maintaining the vessels the crews could only look on at events around the. Israelis continue to occupy the Sinai Peninsula and despite a widespread condemnation from the International Community showed no signs of leaving. Over the next 3 years clashes continue to east of the canal some involving aircraft and heavy artillery along the ceasefire line in the sinai both sides suffered casualties in what became a political stalemate. At this time the suez canal remained closed to all traffic in both directions. While heavy clashes continued in the region east of the canal the world was focused on Global Politics the cold war was at its height and the fate of 14 ships stranded in a white section of the su is canal was not an international priority. The plight of the yellow fleet had slipped off the news agenda months dragged on and the 14 ships remained a dying Company Great britain make the crews realize that their best option was to create a spirit of International Cooperation and a stark contrast to events in the wider world friendships were formed as well as the great to better and make association the g p l s. We were very much a community because there were only 27 people on board our ship and many of the other ships had we just screwed like that the company didnt have a full compliment which would have been about 70 personnel on board a ship but we were down to 28 though it was necessary then to make friends with all the other ships with the American Ships and the swedish ships and the polish arabs and the other british ships so it was very important that we got in touch with then and made a Good Relationship with them. Not long after the ships arrived they stopped at us but the call that they got it but only association the concept was developed by one of the last of the blue funnel ships and the muscle of the swedish ship cholera and they thought this would be our good idea to set something up for the welfare of the crews and just give them something to do. I was contacted by mr jim starkey who was a captain on one time on board the port of a cargo and he suggested that we all should get together to form a group called the great better lakes association. Which i was very happy to join and in joining that i got a nice tie with a little lanka round it in the 14 ships which were very proud of and i got a badge for my car and regular correspondence from all the people whod been in the lakes at that time. Anyone could join the g. B. Elliott anyone who went to the canal and indeed over the years i must have been like about a 1000 people who had been out there. And they were all invited to join the g. P. L. There was diplomats in those. Agents of us all sorts of people you name them a lot lots and lots of the media crews come out there to interview and especially with senior politicians and the senior politicians was great a good did time for us to cana. I have a horror of the other things that we didnt like can things that both like to see changed every day and they use questions no they went to the head a government and you can look it up we got an unsound from a lot so and so a lot since and you know it was quite good not to speak to. The g b l a continued through the time that their ships were stuck in the canal and those whole sorts of things organized via through the media we had a limp big games being held in mexico 960 to think and so the pool ships decided to of a many ellen picks and of course they are gone i guess that that whole last hole saw something. Below but as you like the ill give mine though because up there most of us mountain and thus the denser them gives out some of the. Want to avoid a of. A motor quite fast come on mom. From giving city people hope you buzzy good as will be on your facade is going. On for you did it if you got flu hero medallion. From the cup visit of im a dog youre not mitt other europeans even though youre going numb if you have one go under but thats money from the middle job youre not moved on the medallion given all supply gotten. To some people would be my. Eyes id 0 but on 3rd gold people not able to pay for an important medallion for. When they started this g b l e mail home with a little bit difficult at times for the crew on there developed some stumps the idea was that we did not belong to israel but didnt belong to egypt who had a community on a road and this was trying to set identity we had it all in stamps and over the years it was hundreds of those stumps developed by the could use they were made initially just drawn by hand and the cadets on the ship would quit color them in their various colors with felt and banter never had an after that theyre not nor my time we had we did them either on a piece of a little linoleum all we did them on like i know is a robot with a cut that they could stop them on to the ship and those stops were sent on to the mail going back to the u. K. And they became quite and our national a new one and a collectors item because of the fact that some of those stamps went just White America shelia all of the britain germany france using those stamps which were homemade we were never shown to show off if the mail would go home just using those. So theres 2 other ways we did it we put on egyptian stamps as well along with our own stamps and the egyptian authorities would frank those and send them on them gyptian postal authorities or we would put on a g. B. L e stamps and then give them to do a crew member who was going to germany all the states whatever and he would push them at home. Fast forward 6 years egypt and syria decided to launch a 2 fronted coordinated attack to regain the territory they lost in 1970. The arab israeli war of a tobar 973. 00 saw Egyptian Forces crossing the suez canal and re entering this Sinai Peninsula shipping companies had been denied access to the suez canal watched events unfold with interest with egypt in control of both banks of the canal they saw positive signs that the waterway would after 6 years of closure finally be reopened. Sailors of the 14 ships of the yellow fleet could only watch on hoping the canal would be reopened and their ships finally allowed to complete their journeys however escape from their desert seclusion would take time engineers spent 2 years removing sunken barricades at both ends of the canal 80 years had also taken their toll on the ships and for the majority traveling under their own power would prove impossible only with the help of tugs and cranes could they be moved the exception was the 2 german ships on the 7th of june 1975 they started their engines set a northerly course and set sail for homburg with their cargo of metal and minerals in doing so they set a record for the longest sea shipping voyage in history 80 years 3 months and 5 days.

As can now never left my mind edwards says had such an act upon me that it became part of my life the experience that i had on the lake and they carry it through every day every week and every year somewhere in my mind i would think of my time and its. And mostly it is very very good at the experience for a young person of 23 years of age to be and such a dangerous environment. To turn the dangerous environment into one where we could have recreation and to a certain extent enjoy sounds worse an experience not to be missed and i would not mess be in the suez canal under any circumstances that greatly to my life and i think it helped to make me as a person. How i welcome to look at the International Focus what a real mixed bag of weather across north america at the moment theres some rain there some snow windy conditions well some of the west the weather actually could be of some benefit down towards the southwestern corner will see a fabric of cloud and rain coming in across the Desert Southwest and some snow you notice i have the high ground temperatures an ally was struggling to get to around 18 degrees and snipe that thing with the wildfires of course further north you got the very heavy rain which pushes its way right up into the midwest north of the border into canada and sioux once area pushing over towards quebec got some snow in the full costs here that cold arad will suck in behind chicago struggles to get to around 5 celsius for friday some very heavy right easing down towards the the deep south pushing into texas and behind mostly temps is getting up to around 90 celsius in ally place and places a cloud of this state should be somewhat dry and the previous day having said that dry with chalice once again into parts of the caravan some heavy showers there just around hispaniola draw than it has been recently its a parts of jamaica and maybe also into cuba as we go want to watch the way can the russia shower so of towards the u. S. Around tillys the friday. This powerful social network is sculpting a global Cyber Society and regulation is playing catch up but as scandals begin to unfold they will witness is that we should not be in this position. They want as much extreme content as they can get on the cover to gauge how ethics weigh against profits and how the rules are being written. And signed facebook on aljazeera the latest news as it breaks democrats did what was asked they said we will have a vote and lay out the procedures for Going Forward for the public testimony weve detailed coverage here in town plans meaning Financial Center a place that is usually teeming at shoppers during the weekends and tourists from the around the world it will take 10 to a 1000 years for this to disintegrate and thats whats choking this city.
