This picture was brought to me on start-up this morning by Microsoft News from the indy100 news channel, to be found at reference 1. Bizarre that such a small digger can make a difference to such a large ship. Bizarre that one of the banks of such an important waterway should be nothing grander than waterlogged clay.
Wikipedia provides a warning note at reference 2, in that this news channel, once proud to be independent of the likes of Murdoch (Sun, Times) and Black (Telegraph), is now a joint venture between a former member of the KGB and a Saudi, with neither country being well known for decent and honourable newspapers. There is also a link with Al Jazeera, an alternative source of news about matters Middle East, an organisation which appears to be owned by the Qataris. With Qatar being a monarchy with a long history, which included escaping from our clutches as recently at 1971.
