says ukraine was 1st remove all mines from it seaports. later when you know pretty much the we've our friends in detail about the measures taken by the russian side for more than a month to ensure the free passage of ukrainian grain carrying ships which are currently trapped in ukrainian portals. but for this, ukrainian officials must clear minds from ukrainian territorial waters with the de mining problem which we have been drawing the attention of western colleagues for several weeks is resolved. the russian navy will ensure that these ships passing to the mediterranean and then to their destination late night nations, saying that it had constructive discussions in moscow on facilitating russian grains and fertilize exports to global markets. christians lumiere war, not now from un headquarters in new york. the u. n. is attempting to work out a deal to allow more russian wheat and fertilizer to get to the market as well as ukrainian wheat. to help alleviate rising food prices,

which have hit the developing world particularly hard, russia and ukraine account for about a 3rd of the world's wheat production. and millions of times of grain have remained stuck in ukrainian silos due to the fighting. russia has blamed us sanctions for the problems exporting. it's green. united states ambassador to the un denied that, but said the discussions are welcome. these are not being sanction, but companies are a little nervous and we're prepared to give them comfort letters. if that will help to encourage them as well as insurance companies to support those efforts to get grain out of russia. that again is very needed by the international community. but i will say rush is able to get his oil out and that's sanctioned. ah, they should be able to get their grain out that's not sanctioned to help get ukrainian wheat from ukrainian ports. turkey would play

a role under the un proposal. the un says the talks have been constructive and are continuing. well, uti does have wrapped up an extraordinary summit in brussels, dominated by the war and ukraine show of unity. the blood reached a late night agreement on monday to ban. most russian oil imports by the end of the year is the toughest sanction yet on moscow. despite compromise is to get across the line. countries like hungry slovakia in the chart republic all heavily dependent on russian energy and were excluded from the embargo. you might remember that in vast cy, the lead us decided to phase out the dependency on russian fossil fuels. as soon as possible we started with comb. yesterday in the middle of the night we decided then to have a ban. now on the fact to 90 percent of russian oil imports to the european union. by the end of the year capital matic editor james bay has more now from brussels.

what was achieved at this summit as the e. u has finally passed the 6th round of sanctions, which had been sold for over a month, but they had to water down the proposals to get the pass. the original plan was for a total ban on oil imports from russia. now they've decided on a compromise to keep hungry and hungry. prime minister victor oberon had been blocking this to keep him happy. they decided that oil that comes in on a ship from russia must be banned all coming in on a pipeline from russia for now has a temporary exemption. now 2 countries, poland, germany, say, even though they get that all by pipeline, they will voluntarily decide not to have that all any more to stop those in port. but that temporary exemption, particularly for hungary. how long does that last for no time scale has been given, and it's interesting that the hungarian prime minister victor, or burn has been on facebook. you posted on facebook. a boastful post hungry is

exempt from the oil embargo, so questions still on that issue. they also discussed food security and the problem of getting the grain that's trapped in ukraine out of the country. but one thing that wasn't discussed at this summit is the candidate status of ukraine to join european union that somebody that president zalinski wants. it's near the top of his list that's been deferred to the next you summit, which take place in just under a month's time. ah, well, lebanon now and the speaker, the parliament for the past 30 years, has been reelected at be a barrier, was chosen by and peas in a 1st session of parliament after this month's election. before he was now invited n u n. p. 's march to parliament calling for change in the country. then a 100 reports now from beirut. 4 0, it's

a moment of change. oh, representatives of lebanon's protest movement making their way to parliament. they walked past security forces, who once kept them out during massive demonstrations in recent years. it's the 1st session of the newly elected legislature. and these 1st time, employees are hoping to bring change to a decades system. ah, there is no democracy in lebanon. what the consultation and i completion that system. but we are here. 24 democrats in lebanon and duty. unfortunately, the rights would come out if there was any, any kind of compromises. compromises based on power sharing between the political establishment have long been how politics is done here? that's how parliamentary speaker to be. barry was re elected. give them to have

been in the position for 3 decades and for many a symbol of a failed system, riddled with corruption. but this time it was different, very fails to get the endorsement of a majority and one with the limit of march and a blow. but symbolic, and i know the problem has to be a habit for those who are hoping for radical change that hasn't happened, change in peace, couldn't win enough. see, the status quote didn't change. and it's lebanese leaders who have been in power, who are expected to have the final say on what's next. so vote for a new speaker starts a constitutional process that includes the formation of a new government. and in a few months, the election of a new president, but the current landscape in parliament, the lack of a clear cut majority means there could be protracted negotiations. an extended political vacuum won't help a state and an economy that has all but collapsed. the parliament has failed over

the years to implement or undertake an economic reforms for dark matter. and during the crisis, in fact, the parliament obstructed economic changes and economy could be formed. politicians are also accused of obstructing accountability for the bay report, the exclusion that killed more than $200.00 people. 2 years ago. though with the state killed by brother, they are responsible. and we want to know the truth of all those who are confronting the system. no democratic change cannot come over night, but to these vote appears to be the beginning then who there else rosita built, al jazeera media network is continuing to demand a rapid, independent, and transparent investigations. the killing of its journalist and the occupied west bag. sharina barkley was shot in the head by israeli forces while on assignment and jeanine. on the day of her funeral israeli forces storm a procession and started beating mourners, causing poll barris to almost drop her casket. ma'am, the national community of condemned are killing and continues
