all right, that's our headlines for now. we'll be back soon with more. in the meantime, check us out online. dot com. thanks for watching the questions. got any issues or thoughts say who? the the new york september 20th of 2023 heads of state and government from all over the world came to new york,

the general assembly of the united nations. they came to listen to a man whose country had been hoarding off award for the question of unimaginable brutality from it was a neat view that man was ukrainian president of all of them. yes. and then ski. it was interesting to serena for the 1st time. he needs to make clear that russia is a threat to his people were still, they were using a new weapon with the destructive potential to threaten the secuity of the entire planet. rises launching the fluids prizes as weapons in exchange for recommendations for some. if not all of the capture territories, they impact spanish from the atlantic coast of effort gone to this. so these asia and this is the threat scale. we have to stop it's we must be united to

make it anyway ill do it. so that will gain the to did this with that and to now and spot president semanski work. how was flooding me of food from deploying it and to watch. and in order to understand the extent to which food can be used as an international instrument of power, we must go back to the stop, the invasion, the

back to february 24th 2022. it's 5. i hit the 1st russian bones were dropped and ukrainian cities the few hours, nice at columns of tanks and to train charging me a push and closer to the middle treat special operation. but in reality, this was a total invasion of ukraine. the biggest military operation to unfold on the european continents since the end of world war 2. the,

the objective, the village of the kremlin, was to take the capital t's in order to set up a regime most serving. if he's interested at the time, it was still unclear that position was also to shooting a campaign that would lead to the systematic destruction. if you crane in agriculture all over the country, funds were attacked, the the, the, they bombed our production facilities, soto power stations. and they put our workshops into our office to come total awesome. and the venue very precisely that we didn't have any military equipment. in the end, there were no ukrainian troops here in atlanta possible in city of presumably they

found it exciting to watch. everything flew into the air and collapsed in. you're still science on it because one of the so they wanted to demonstrate the strength of their country to show their army was strong and make us fear that from the point the civil no, not the how do they wanted to rank or harvest or food in regards to a viable impossible. so there's 2 reasons why nibble that's the way i see it. any way you might have to the, the control of the coast was a nothing frame of the criminal and the stars at the innovation that way exports of ukrainian grain via the souls and the black seas could be prevented by own available me. the russian naval vessels

blockaded ukrainian blacks the ports for months while tease mind it's territorial waters to ward off in the me, landings the bottles, lots of the show will find me kind of what you what are you not samuel? you have to know that in recent years later, ukraine had started systematically exporting agricultural products, including green, to international market. since we were consistently among the top 5, ex borders of corn, wheat and barley piano exploit that him to think it was of some is to just remain more than 90 percent of the exports were shipped via the black sea. they've been most of it. so it's q x portable if law and showing them on. so frustrating, you've told them there was a few ships were damaged during the 1st days of the invasion. they were in the ports of odessa and the goliath ships carrying agricultural products as well. for

a typical day, september 11th, which is the semester i got off my producer, mixed the words to, during the 1st days of the war, russia declared the northwestern black sea, a zone for a so called anti terror operations on the you do need those, i can long as i have nobody here on the truck, no more than i was on the scene was undoubtedly to the navigation on the black sea, my visible nobler to make it so there's a route for transporting goods was no longer usable. hope that the show their same exposure and have been unable to during this period, no ukrainian commercial shipping was able to leave the shows of the black sea rushes blockade of the ports was threatening global food. secure, she you clean, accounted for around 10 percent of global wage exports making as a leading. we're exporting country within a few days,

the price of weight sold from around $300.00 to $400.00 euros a ton. at the start of may 2022. it was even selling as a wrinkled price of $400.00 associate euro's the tom. the with these attack on ukraine, flooded me a person destabilized the global grain trade, putting tens of millions of people in dangerous dis. bye simon. we'd never would have dreamed anything like this would be possible. it is not just decimating dynamically ukraine and the reason, but it will have global context impact beyond anything we've seen that's more more to the impact of the war is global. and systemic is certainly 6 gun to the content in russia and ukraine for more than houses that we seen parts, including some of the porters and most vulnerable countries of the world,

the egypt. but its population of a 110000000 people is among the most fragile holding a 3rd of its inhabitants livid standards below the poverty line. president of those thought to us c. c has ruled egypt for 10 years. he knows the sky rocketing prices, could have dramatic consequences. his country consumes more than $20000000.00 tons of which annually off of that comes from a broad, mainly from russia and ukraine. bread is the most important don, actually strength of egypt. the country is the world's 2nd largest importer of weight. i want somebody to know why they made did a little amount and none of renewal document keep you keep in mind. most of the knowledge in egypt right is called a huge thing,

which literally means life. i know most people are very dependent on it all without bread. there is no life, isn't it? and that's why we call it a huge headlight. again, if you want, but legacy at every meal is served with bread and egypt and i've been, is back in the week is the main staple food for the population of a month. that a 100 and have enough a ran into hey, are produced from we 2 in deep wood that are the most important animal feeds in boy . so we feed humans and animals the like i, on the top on a lot of is that in san, with the access to affordable bread is part of the social contracts between the government and the people of egypt already by the fifty's government to decided to regulate and monitor its production and sale since then this being a jewel system, the says bridge. it's available for free the fluctuation price, which reacts to market forces and bridge at a fixed price,

which is set by the government and subsidized the 5th from fed is yeah, if you down level, this could be the government covers the price difference from fed bread is more than 50 percent subsidized, so that's how the state helps the poorest of the poor. around 70000000. egyptians by the subsidized bread. that means that close to 70 percent of the population lives from the spread them and dollar lifecycle down. uh awesome. uh so, uh, somebody else on the island who i am no longer here, who has the regime is afraid the social consequences of hunger and poverty could be to uncontrollable uprisings like that just have to come there. yeah, i mean, perhaps they would even be a civil war with great destruction. my getting that in or you can do. wow, every egyptian is aware of this today, monica, be a good the. what have thought that had the last, the unrest here would have serious consequences for everyone when the flow i'm at the high, but it could break the state apart and yes,

to an alarm because we haven't done well i'm, we can pull the f u as in umbrella comes of course president, toll c. c hasn't forgotten the resolution we slows and move. the arab spring has 2011 people in. kyra took to the street some cold for bridge freedom. and just it's this late to the else to if he's pre, just as a husband, even robeteck. so he'd been in power to those. he is subsidized bread and shoes. the stupidity is, i'll see things regime i t must import weight no matter how high prices rise to replace the lacking weight from ukraine. i'll cc increase the amounts he ordered from flat to me at food and the sprint is 2022 of the, the russian leda has made his country into one of the world's leading grain exposes

since 2016. russia has been the largest exposure of weight worldwide. how did the revitalization of russian agriculture take place? the wind velocity of 2 to in change of power at the end of 1999. the situation in russian agricultural was disastrous and with the supply of food full through the 1990s, the country was heavily dependent on agricultural impulse above home from the u. s . by the middle of the decade, russia was the largest consumer of us, poultry. plugging it pollution decided to act hey, we'll do a shopping question, but we decided to put in and bring to the humanitarian invasion of our country with

goods from abroad. i think we were able to put a hold to this development in 2019. this is good, you know, probably the most part, yet the necessity to revive rural areas that says, that's how they describe the cultural sector into increase productivity. and modernize technology was quite clear. there are both, i have some sort of question. the starting in 2005 vladimir fusion, declared agriculture national priority and started the 1st government to investment programs the but a completely different crisis gave this policy a new twist. at the beginning of 2014, most korea up to the mind, john squared protests in keys by occupying the crime in financial and russia began

. supposing separatist movements in parts of the don't pass region in order to isolate from the rest of ukraine. the, these 2 events actually mock the wheel stops of rushes, invasion of ukraine. the west reacted with sanctions on most cook. that'd be a to some and said was an immediate embargo one or wisdom, the food so they put you on the bill. we all got a good, don't look at the, on the market the way to you know, who to and told us people. so i told you that yes, we'll have shortages of meet fruit and vegetables and dairy products for a time. and also i forget about french cheese and complete, don't start totally quit the entire agricultural system to grow green movies here. the russian state mobilized even greater meetings with the exports of green oil and gas sources. so starting from around 2020 rush, it became almost

a fully self sufficient in terms of agricultural products and food. as you move to pull, you're going to go to any motel the community parts for i see is committed interstate saving. 6 that i really think those are the sanctions imposed on russian by western countries when russia to look around for new alternative markets on weeds plays a central role in the markets of egypt and algeria pronouncing it's kind of a might to ensure it missed in 2022, we x quoted huge quantities. they're huge and they've always reader with the person that they're expressed to more than 1000000 tons. the system better serve young some bushes and you don't on the bush. me don't, don't you know, julia, we enter the market that have been firmly in french hands before. the last name was now we're competing directly with france there. it's assessment. i'm bridge. i'm

just leaving a computer. nope. to push the tone, please hold. it grew up and rush, it became stronger as an agricultural power when you have the ability, the more the means allowed in the greater the striving for all tarkey and russ vacation of strategic areas. the domains type is salt, the cook. well, that's what i feel. so yeah, according to the slogan, buckle, we'll build our own green silos ourselves up. and rather than ordering them from foreign manufacturers who don't i called spectrum and to see to do an equal cellphone, it goes up to man the best. and maybe we won't even use the global financial system to organize in finance versus musical math. so if you don't see, we'll just found our own agrarian banks and holding specific exit gone. all that meant don't like they already, you know, to set the . this was the last step towards recitation. within 20

years, vladimir putin had made the russian farming and food sector into one of the world's most productive, just like his oil gas and armaments industry that gave him a new instrument of power and the invasion of ukraine. a country also known as the bred foster who took the world, gave him an opportunity to try his house. the russian armies withdrew from the northern parts of the country without successfully taking t. it was a piece of defeat for vladimir tutoring. the, the, so he gave his troops a new objective, concrete and the lucrative part, if you train the agricultural regions in the east and south of the country,

that's where the st. blanco's fortune knows is locations, soil that some of the world's most fools tile. the lion's share of view, trans wilson grain is founded on this soil. from may 20th 2022 patients troops to confound the strategically important course of money will pull the battles to the city was horrified. 90 percent of the city was destroyed more than $20000.00 people. okay. then. c the

blood to me, a cushion had achieved his goal and amex, ation of the sea of salt. and with this russian dominance in the region, fee is well growing. the russian troops would push for the west and take odessa until around half of old ukraine's exports was shipped out by the countries. because flexi port, the, the, we'll see you at this room and how to assure me that russia is waging total more ought to be. and if it's not a war and the conventional sense was strictly military means that it was good. you know, when it gets a war, applying political, social and economic weapons disappear, but it was english. so was economic,

it's clear, a country would be weekend without a working economy show of the consent them. and that's what the russians are aiming for. striking against the most important sectors, kind of which elizabeth gonna swap some because if we can't work with agriculture is i don't know what i said, we won't be able to finance the ukrainian armed forces sufficiently to get them because building a single thing. but if we can sell something as a country and have income for the, then we can support the military with the wind partners most go systematically taking grain from russian occupied areas and transporting as l squared. way for the dollar sense, i bet this insurance thought of somebody before the war. we worked 75000 textures of land. and during the war we lost 25000 hector's. the russians harvested the wheat on our fields, the grain for our bread, symbolic, sinister, and 3 pulse key runs to naples on company. it's one of the biggest agricultural

enterprises in ukraine. his father alexi is that a tool skeet found the company in 1991 and transformed this into a flagship for the country. it was a symbol of independence from russia. maybe he's on his presence over the country and become a military targets at the start of the pool. i didn't want that if it's a uh, socialist, not confined ukrainian green. so those are still in areas that are sometimes occupied by russia. the wireless post office is on a certain amount. yeah, around 140000 tons of grain had been stolen from us. and so started the invasion of combining pressures almost always had the complaint our style a ball was boy, that's really compromise or operation way. and i said we're interested in things, but a lot. it's only running at 30 percent and by now it doesn't dollars. but meaning actually what's left of it, and then the letter is up to 2 products, as i say,

although it's not get clear how many agricultural operations have full of interruption hands 40. second is that the kremlin is laying claim to the entire we top us in the place is adult coupons. at the end of 2022, that would be about $6000000.00 tons. part of which was destined for expos, hundreds of seized or stolen trucks transported ukrainian weight to crime in which was annexed by russia in 2014. the destination is the commercial portion of sebastopol task. calling the boy e. and i'd like to make the observation that there's never been not much green and crimea, and there never will be the best years,

even before crimea was annexed. there never been such a large quantity of grain for exports on board and now with the war, the porter service topo is becoming a real hub for all these ships that's based on the sold in the between may and june of 2022 at least 12 prices but at the same dogwood, sylvester pulled screen terminal as soon as they were loaded with grain from the occupied territories, they officially set cause for 11 or turkey. but as soon as they reached the high seas, the ships disappeared from cracking. rachel when may 2nd 2020 to an empty russian fraser. the march 1st person to teach the it's of

us to put ban on the 29th of may, it turned up in the swimming pools of latasha fluid unloaded. wait the to put the nicholas named people, cause we shall dishes, new hope is low city, satellite imagery show. most of the grain went to syria. you have to know, syria is one of the few countries that supports the russia. an aggressor state. there's continual trade taking place between the 2 countries. yeah, that's, that's a steam uh for the fish and i'm saying what? yeah. so all the facts of this deal must be no, no secret even yet the responsibility lies with the leadership of the aggressor state. yeah, it's a good time is so okay, and this talk to you now. hello. so here we see much more show we all see that exported. ukrainian green is continuing by our crimea, today's odyssey almost every day we can see satellite images have yet another ship being loaded with ukrainian green. i was on 1000 right. so claims comes along

the foster, yet the cost of the war in ukraine was over the many billions of dollars. some of that money flowed into rushes, military machine, the systematic destruction, that's best and confiscation have been unparalleled in europe since the nazi occupation during world war 2, the, the kremlin was for blowing is another global objective with these actions. removing you crying as a market competitor. so

this gets exposed to dillman, pulling into alicia, and you can even before 202230 percent of these exports worldwide came from russia and ukraine. of course rush, i wanted to annex the eastern ukrainian old lessons that were more weakened corners, ground just solely humbly. if i did that on the east spikes in that way, russia can further increase the chair of the global market for a week while reducing your trans, your personal emotional yeah, i do believe it does. you can use it, especially given that russia had a record harvest in 2022, which further increased its exports in don't expose the lend. mckinney mando don't only know either cheat openings goose disclosable, disco, hollis, will not my destroying ukrainian agricultural sector. russia is, in fact trying to eliminate one of its biggest competitors on the global market for a week. the latter see last week, the week of income and drive it out of other markets for agricultural products as well. the issue into a scuffle. disclosure along with the book seat the

and there's another threat that has come with the attack on ukraine, letting me a tooth and has the diffused tooth ticking time bomb and not the global economy of balance. it's inflation the don't think they need to meet the mean vote deal. see these out in 2021. 2022. good. we already had 2 years of food inflation, which was triggered by the pandemic right now, since the value creation chains had changed on national and then continental, and even global level. so you don't like this. wildfire had already started referring to this. i know that in february 2022, the german humanitarian aid organization, they told me that he said the price and it's for food to get a new record high numbers. and at the end of the month, rush attacked ukraine. you made some sense to get with just one more spark added to

a fire that was already burning. and that produced more inflation and tension all go for is done for us generally. and it also the, the situation quickly goes out of control. and the weakest countries, like in egypt with price has climbed 45 percent by the end of 2020 to the other was auto was is that because of rising fuel prices? the farmers compared their situation to a wedding reception where someone dies as well? yeah. when i was of the man, joy becomes greece, kind of, i have the most of the time that goes what i've been seeing, one of the 3 of them is the price rises for natural gas. i mean gasoline and other oils and they get us farmers hard. mike, i'm my yo, but how did the war with them and it fell out. so i have a water pump that's even good. if prices go up, everything gets more expensive than the fact that some of the,

including the use of the pumps motor with a go to the how goes they've heard of us. so i was really fell, man, that sometimes i need workers to help me because i can't do it all on my own. since the start of the war and ukraine, wages have risen sharply. a work or they used to earn 70 or 80 pounds a day. now gets 150 pounds. wages have doubled of the place. the inflation sprayed with lightning speed cheated. the cumulative impacts of the attack on ukraine waste and sanctions. and the corona virus pandemic, which affected countries pool and rich in the south. and in the north extensively, in order to show good will, vladimir putin said he was ready to negotiate the

today. there is a beacon on the black sea as the beacon of hope, the beacon of possibility, the beacon of release. you know, well that leads, it's more than ever. on june 22nd 2020, to 5 months off to the start of the war. russia and ukraine signed in a cold, under guidance of the united nations kentucky image pollution to me said ukraine to resume exports, of grain finds a blank seat. the $25000000.00 tons stored in ukrainian silos could finally be loaded onto the ships

and brought to people in the southern hemisphere where it was desperate they made it a few days off to the cold was signed. there was another bombardment. on july 30th, 2022. hey la, rushing missiles, rain down on the ukrainian port of the clive. the target was alexys. i to tools ski the founder and ceo of the eco cultural holding company new below a symbol of the independence of ukrainian farming. better to ski, resist the russian naval blockade and was considered a national hero. the part of the house where he and his wife slept, was obliterated. both of them were killed instantly. the grain expose agreement gave rusher, vice that it could tighten and loose and will ocean with showing ukraine and the rest of the world that he alone was calling the shots. estimates to the city of

oakland. uh, but uh towards a really display of patriotism and then the multiple scroll over the years the man made himself a fortune symbol and at his age because it could have been living anywhere in the world. i live is alyssa, so not the only state in his hometown, nikolai, he did everything he could to get export from ukraine, running with louis as visiting with the exports that a total cutting in the day off to the death of alexi. the toll sky on august the 1st 2022, a ship called to rezone left to this and went to see loaded with 26000 tons of grain. in accordance with the code of the 22nd of july, was the 1st ship allowed to enter the black sea from the ukrainian coast. officer was inspected and is stumble. it continued through the bus for us on its way to the mediterranean. the ukraine

opened an additional weight shipping bridge in the south western part of the country. the shipping terminal was built in the port on the den. you put the at the remaining board. hundreds of trucks daily was supplying tons of great work quickly loaded onto the boxes. the destination, the romanian pools of constance for the south. this new routes was part of a new solidarity lanes. plant kit had managed to persuade brussels that it could explore to training drain via e u. countries without being required to pay customs choose. he's the a year lice are in july 2023. ukraine had exported around 13000000 tons of grain,

a 3rd of weight that the situation remain tense. the neighboring countries would displeased some of the few cranes crane was faint. and suppose it online through the use told was one example. what's more grain, you control by ha, since the war stuff is the russian vice was grouping. tyesha then eva at the end of july 2023. there were many russian thrown in missile attacks on odessa and the danube terminal, which is just a few 100 missions from romania, the many thousands of tons of grain. when talking strains, letting me pollution again caused panic on commodities markets. for

those in yet is out of my way. that's what i'm allowed to switch. so it would give you all upset to some what was it? i see the front of the initial friendliness that goes away may as he did at the start of the war, the russian dictates were gain or to the blockade of all ukrainian black see ports from the end of july 2023. ukraine responded with military measures to use off to the russian invasion. you're trying to pack 54 percent of the occupied areas, the since the beginning of the votes. russia have sold more weight than ever before. in the 2020 to 2023 season. that was 47000000 tons. the unprecedented amount came thanks to school check book diplomacy. the

pure annoying, even though we see you are still unable to pay for a year and a half, the russian limited classic grain exported, pen nationalized, we trading p u. it sells wheat at different prices to friendly countries that you'll, according to market conditions of quality, be reluctant, and critical. countries are threatened with having green supplies, cut off the old units. what we're seeing is black males. diplomacy can do salt those. who may, i said that's easy. i just picked up from a couple of backwards from, from out of my course countries maintaining normal relations with russia. who societies do not stroke. russell phobia in the media on the international stage. i don't know will always be in a position to negotiate agreements, including long term want us now frustrating as i say, up as a small one. imagine what these are countries that try to maintain reasonable relations with russia, which rest on the 2 principles i mentioned to you about the source paper stick to your doing globally simple as i'll tell tomorrow at bonham elementary that russia has a tight hold on everything at the moment what the queen puts and says old wanted,

if you need me, yes, i've raised prices and cost chaos. and some of global trade did. you can this doing business with me as a risk, somebody's going on, but you won't find any other week right now, but, but i thought would you be a, you wait diplomacy? inaction can be seen most clearly at the united nations. the general assembly is now working on their office solutions entitled underestimate gas through crane. let's go back to the 2nd of march 2022. when a week of to the ukraine, conflicts began a resolution against depression. aggression was passed. the 40 countries still refused to support the resolution by the voting against his orb staining. among them was 17 african and many asian countries, the in 6 months slideshow. on

november 14th 2022, there was another vote. this time to demand reparation payments from russia to ukraine. the resolution was adopted by majority of 94 countries. but they were for say no votes, including from china and south africa. i'm 73 extensions. talk a i give them a boy in the could be a fuck. i'm the one of the overwhelming majority of the countries of africa and the middle east have chosen to adopt a neutral position on the russian ukrainian war. viewed from an economic standpoint, you have to have the rest that remains. an important partner for these countries, for russia is also a military presence in a few african countries. they have to watch a smuggler. mercenaries are deployed all over. that's the whole region in russian snipers can be found in libya. sedan with molly and bertina saw. so what the last several. send them over to you via so don marley's looking for

the to do school. did you? is it a group of $10.00? you know, square feet with them, especially i, because we see in this country say we're not taking sides. we don't want any trouble with russia the undergoing the naturally, there are authoritarian regimes among the almost like many big democracies have disposition to be honest. we want to remain neutral and expand our relations with russia because we need to discuss it as well. so if you did, you put a lot, let's just take india or brazil, and they will come to big democracies that are upholding their political and diplomatic and economic relations with russia. we mentioned despite our sanctions, which are meant to isolate russian with songs, you one who are here not say most you want to well is what it always did. you want us to do in the, the war and ukraine reflects the growing gap between the absolute west and the rest of the world's population. also known as the global south,

the since the status of the invasion. so gay law for all of the, if it present russian foreign minister has been struggling in our for kevin and relates to spread rushes message, which is, it's vladimir who's, who can guarantee who's caught in the stability and independence in this new multi polar world. as opposed to the west, which is becoming ever more hedge. monique ingredients, the president savanski takes every opportunity to present this. now she, p. one slave is not to be fools bought. the kremlin is using its agricultural power to deepen the local divisions. even further old matters to pollution is defending russian interests by any means as he disregards the aims and principles of the un.

my way we'll win this war and we continue. there simply isn't any other option in, hey, elizabeth james, if we could meet you late, it's not clear what will happen next on. yes, come on, get some food and won't just stop with you crane. i'm on the tip to what we've got to bring this tyrant down and restore order is to put it on. how long will he continue to terrorize europe and our whole planet, and also sibling at the 0 and everything comes to an end at some point. similar to what you can use the the . 2 the. 2 2 2

the. 2 the, this are fine over here in germany will be the 1st of it's kind of yours. at the continent, several minutes large, independent on china to source materials. international demand for lithium is growing, and germany wants to boosted around material processing. this lithium refinery, p t. made in germany in such a minutes, dw, the,

this shadows, these costs and video shed lights on the dog is devastating. colonial har is infected by germany across and he employed the schools to post tactic farms and destroy nights. what is the legacy of this wide spread racist depression today? history? we need to talk about here the stories, shadows of german colonialism. growing up interesting. i'm sure there's a tell a student in exhibit on context for living with a bare minimum this is not a good environment, not for me and not for my children without civil rights and with no prospect. but what can we do carry on, and some of those stay in iceland are nice and get their hosting from there.

in baby shuttle stops august 3rd on d, w the, this is data be news and these are our top stories. a most political leader is while he has been assassinated into hon. i'm upset in social media posts that i knew and his body guards were killed at their residence in in the country. no one immediately claimed responsibility, but suspicion immediately fell on israel, which had failed to kill honey and other leaders of whom us over is october 7th attacks on israel is really military says hezbollah, as most of the senior military commander of, to watch a cor, was killed in an air strike on a south, they route supper as real as that a police report was responsible for an attack.
