Operation Freedom paused 48 hours after it was started

A special focus tonight is the Strait of Hormuz. Despite signs of progress in US-Iran talks, shipping through the Strait remains severely disrupted, with global supply chains under pressure and only limited vessel movements in recent days. We’ll ask whether pipelines could reduce reliance on the Strait, and how shipping companies are making real-time decisions in one of the world’s most sensitive waterways. And with schools doing distanced learning until Friday, what is the impact on extra curricular activities, sports leagues and families trying to keep routines in place. We’ll also examine how those emergency alerts are reaching our phones so quickly, and the technology behind the warning system now being used across the Emirates.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
