5:02 am
think regulations is right will experience serious security damages and legal chaos . i couldn't allow that will. it kills last law. we spirit know if that a galvanized through me the was needed to pass the regulations, but unfortunately if it's poor, no fruit can therefore my friend and i decided to act together to dissolve parliament and sit and agreed upon date for elections. he was daniel levy is the president of the us middle east project and the former is really negotiator. he says, the collapse of this parliament is not a surprise. and it's a real opportunity for former prime minister benjamin netanyahu to make a return to government. the parliament will vote to dissolve itself the date has been agreed. i believe for late october, there's the jewish holiday season, jewish new year data tournament in october. it will be at the end of october unless not, and yahoo can peel away enough members to form
5:03 am

russia has summoned the even basset to moscow. after lithuania, said it would stop the transit of some goods to kellen and garad. the russian enclave is wedged between lithuania and poland on the baltic sea, the restrictions effect, the only railroad between mainland russia and the territory. with rainy and officials say the ban will be on good sanction by the u. across its territory. it includes coal and other metals. the kremlin has vowed to respond if passage isn't restored. the european union says russia's invasion of ukraine as solely to blame for the disruption of green supplies to many african nations. ukraine is one of the world's largest producers of grain. ease of formats have been meeting and luxembourg to discuss the conflicts impact on food security. one can not imagine that the millions of tons of wheat remained walk in ukraine wasn't the rest of the world. people are suffering hung up, these are real and war, crime repeating,
5:05 am
and they have to warm again. you're allowed to rece of a great amine in your world, especially in dominic a and has more there's no suggestion that the e u is sensitive to the suggestion that its sanctions against russia are counterproductive in one sense. namely that certain countries in africa and elsewhere that rely on the sorts of foodstuffs that are produced in ukraine are having difficulty in accessing them. certainly the suggestion was put to use at bar l. hi, representative for the e on external and foreign policy about precisely that. and his answer was no. that is not the case. the impact of sanctions that the ears impose is not affecting the ability of african countries to get hold of fertilizer and then foodstuffs for their economy and for their peoples. but there is also the suggestion that by de swift, in certain russian banks, that means by
5:06 am
a sanctioning russian backs not letting them use the swift transaction system that, that to has impacted upon african countries and other countries in developing world, in how they get hold of the sorts of things they need for their people. and again, mr. bar else contention is that that is not the case. in his view. the problems that many countries on our facing are the consequence of russia's actions and not of e u sanctions. let's discuss this war william courtney was a senior fellow round corporation and a former us ambassador to kazakhstan. he's joining us from swanson get to have you with us on al jazeera. so there are and your is that officials are saying that talks between ukraine and moscow, broken by the you and in turkey to, to get the green out. a few crane have really stalled and struggle to make any sort of progress. how do you see this playing out? most correct? russia does not appear willing voluntarily to allow the green to be shipped. so the
5:07 am
only real option to get the green out fast enough for egypt to other african countries and others that need it is for warships from european us other countries to perform a day will escort she. busy western black seems to be short and reach the straits without being tried. yeah, i know this is something that you wrote about in, in, in, in an opinion piece. but tell us what would be the risks of such an operation and, and how russia could challenge this could see too far, modern warships that would be doing this for the mission. but modern, worships, have air defenses and to protect against that. i think russian would be very reluctant to fire against merchant ships carrying grain because of the signal that was sent to the world. so those are not very har. mine's can be dealt with,
5:08 am
we're not too much trouble. yeah, and the russians of course, say that they deny, in fact, using food as a weapon. and in fact the russian president, blood are boots and says that it is the western sanctions that are responsible for all of this. what do you make of his reaction? whether western factions are not responsible, it is a blockade that russian navy is imposing a black sea on ports around odessa. that is blocking the shipping grain. that's fairly obvious for people to see. but other sanctions, backfiring. mr. williams. courtney on, on the countries that have imposed them on russia because publicly, of course, there is condemnation of russia's invasion of ukraine, but behind the scenes, how concerned do you think countries are about the economic costs on them? as a result of this pro long crisis where you can have a cross in terms of high prices, higher fertilizer prices,
5:09 am
for example. but it's useful to remember that the western countries together have or economies that are roughly $25.00 times the size of russia's economy. so while the sanctions are concentrated impact in russia, they have a diluted impact spread out much larger economies in the west. so west can easily sustain the actions from a comic standpoint. thank you so much william courtney for speaking to us from swanton. we appreciate your time to our new russian officials say ukraine has launch missiles, strikes against 3 offshore gas rigs in the black sea, the head of russian control and crimea, claims a strikes targeted platform south of a desk. he said 3 people were injured, and 7 are missing. if confirmed, that would be the 1st strike on offshore energy infrastructure there since rushes invasion of ukraine. in february, the nobel peace prize won by russian journalists, dmitri moreton has sold for
