BBC World Service - Newshour, Hundreds flee from brutal conflict in Mozambique

Dozens killed in Mozambique after clashes between the government and Muslim insurgents

Dozens of people are dead following an attack by Islamist militants on a town in northern Mozambique, according to officials. Newshour speaks to Lionel Dyck, who runs the Dyck Advisory Group, taken on by the government of Mozambique to fight the militants. The Ever Given container ship that's been blocking the Suez canal for six days is finally freed. Richard Meade, Managing Editor of Lloyd's List, a news service for the maritime industry explains it will take months to clear the backlog. Also on the programme, on day one of the high profile trial of Derek Chauvin, the former police officer accused of murdering George Floyd last May, the BBC's North America Correspondent Aleem Maqbool reports from Atlanta on the lasting impact the killing has had across America. And, on the 150th anniversary of the Royal Albert Hall, Newshour hears about some of the most famous and quirkiest events that have taken place at the iconic venue.
