ah, sounding the alarm at the world health organization issues. it's the strongest warning yet, declaring monkey pox, a global health emergency. ah, i'm terry johnston. this is al jazeera alive from that also coming up ukraine. it says russia has bombed at the port of odessa just a day after a deal was reached to allow ships filled a grain, condense, anger on the streets, into nicea ahead of a controversial referendum on the constitution, relieving pressure. the pumps of fuel is back on sale, inch and anchor under a new rationing system.

ah. the world health organization has declared the fastest spreading monkey pox outbreak. a global health emergency is the only 8 chose highest level of alert. it was issued by the u. n. health agency chief, despite a deadlock among experts over the decision to just ad hominum, compressors that thinks the risk of the virus in high in europe, and moderate globally more than 70 nations, are now experiencing an outbreak of the virus which is common in parts of central and west africa we have an outbreak that has spread around the world rapidly through new models of transmission about which we understand truly to and which meets the criteria in the international health regulations. for all of these reasons, i have decided that the global monkey pox outbreak represents

a public cold emergency of international concern. but earlier i spoke to lawrence agustin that who's the director of the w h o s center on global health law. he says the numbers are worrying trend, we've seen an exponential rise in monkey pox cases. it's now in all in 5 w, h o regions of the world. in many, many, dozens of countries with cases rising exponentially. so it's a concern right now i'm outside of in denver gary's in central and east africa. it's primarily but not exclusively, but primarily within communities of men who have sex with men. but that should not lead to complacency that, that community matters a lot. and also could spill over easily to other communities. as we've seen with

the h i v epidemic give us an idea, then what are the symptoms, what should people be watching out for? if they're watching this now, there are characteristic monkey pox rashes on that they should be looking at. and particularly if they're in a, an elevated risk group that if they've had an intimate sexual relationships or close physical contact with somebody who might be l, there should be contact tracing. and there should be widespread testing. and there should be a strategic deployment of vaccines to really try to nip this in the bud. but the window for containment of market parks is rapidly closing. and, you know, we, we fear that this could become endemic in europe, north america, and other parts of the world over the next months and years or less than 24 hours

after moscow and tea that signed a landmark deal to unblock grain exports from ukraine's southern ports, ukrainian military says russia has attacked the nations main port in odessa. 2 missiles hit the port infrastructure, but didn't cause much damage. turkey, which along with the un bro, could fraud as agreement says that russian officials have told anchor that they had nothing to do with the strikes. it. crenan officials though are describing the attack as a spit in the face to both turkey and the un. i'll just hear a correspondent hammer out. smarty is in odessa and he told us what happened. i had daddy a ladder we saw massage with the naked eye. we're talking about to mrs. until now, and we've been able for the 1st time since our arrival here to trace these misses. there were really close just above us. a missile passed through here and other passed through there. the camera man is able to show the picture of the smoke from the anti aircraft rockets here on the black sea shore. until this moment,

we heard for explosions in more than one location here where we are standing one minute before we went on air, we can also hear the silent alarms and area. they went off right before the ukrainian anti aircraft misses targeted. what it says are roche and rockets. let's take a closer look now at friday's grain deal, which now seems to be under threat. it crane and russia agreed that ships will be able to depart from 3 ukrainian ports on the black sea, including odessa or turkish, ukrainian, and un staffel monitor the loading of grain and check to ensure the ships aren't carrying weapons. ukrainian ships will then guide commercial boats through the mines laid under water in the black sea along safe route with officials from turkey, ukraine, and the un will or so track these shipments are into the boss for a straight. that's to make sure they arrived safely in istanbul to be sold on to other countries and in fish, it has more from the western ukrainian city of the v. is fair to say that this is

a great deal or anger from the site from the korean site. you have the president, president zalinski and proposed to you message on his telegram channel, saying that this shows that the russians being promises and then they break them. and if there is any problem with global well, food supplies than that, that the finger needs to be pointed very squarely at more school. the foreign minister, he is a lot more strident. he is seeing essentially that this is the russians spitting in the face of the un secretary general and also of turkey who brokered the deal. some ukrainian politicians are already seeing that this proves that russia cannot be trusted. and if there was any suggestion that this deal, maybe some her pathway to some sort of piece talks than the ukrainians would be well versed a well, i want to stay away from those talks because this proves in the eyes that russia cannot be trusted. as for the russians, will they have spoken to the turks over the last couple of hours,

the russian defense ministry, seeing that they had no idea that this had happened, that there was no investigation underway and they were looking at things closely. as for the inspector general himself, he said he was disappointed and condemned the attack as the usaa basset or to ukraine. again, has been much more stronger when it comes to dealing with the russian saying that once again, russia was using our food as a weapon in this war. but as i said, the russians insist that they had nothing to do with this attack. and they are carrying out their own investigation intern is easier there than confrontations between the police and protests as opposed to mondays constitutional referendum. present case site has urged voters to approve a draft proposal which expands his powers for most protests as want him to resign and for the parliament to have more power should in wolf has the story. i anger and

frustration in the to new sim capital. these demonstrators are protesting against mondays, constitutional referendum, which they say would give, present case i eat too much power on it. i see that we will boycott this referendum . we are determined to struggle against the absolute autocracy until to news your regained its natural institutional and democratic status said a war, critics excuse i eat of trying to rule by decree, saying has proposed changes amount to a coup against the constitution. since last july, the president has sacked dozens of judges of suspended parliament and assumed executive power, maintaining he was ending years of political chaos system. and on the adult m. r colon, you great people often asia to vote yes. so that the course of the revolution can be correct. to nice. the i was one of the success stories of the arab spring, a sweeping movement of uprisings across the middle east and north africa that toppled several dictators. but analysts say,

presidents i use reforms would push the nation back towards a system reminiscent of one before the 2011 revolution. they worry, the new constitution will completely dismantle democracy. there is nothing that can be done to hold the present accountable, other than waiting for the end of the 5 year term. there's no 40 law resolution safe. i can control. there's no mechanism to hold them accountable, or simply nothing that can be done here, despite regular domestic and international condemnation said seems determined to establish a centralized political system. one where the president reigned supreme, turn out for the referendum is expected to be low with many people saying the vote won't be free or fair. said is bad rival political advertising and told international election observers. they're not welcome. but no matter the outcome critic say to nicea has a long way to go to return to the part of democracy. gillian wolfe, al jazeera,

r code. and depending on the last digit of their vehicle, then being able to come on a particular day and get their fuel. but this doesn't mean that oil is smooth as yet. as you can see, behind me is a huge q r with the military also helping out to ensure that things happen smoothly. we are ready to work with anyone to come out of this economic situation. but it look like that we are putting of a be out in the queue for every day and we are vesting of not only the time, it's not be a productive deal. freeland gibbs, every individual we are resting overtime and we're not doing anything to come out of this, o tourism, than it is sad to see this kind of sim, full situation. the government says it hopes to regularize fuel supplies over the next few days. the president has met with his cabinet and says that school transport and other essential because will be given fuel as soon as possible. now for people who have been really struggling to get on, not just with their day to day lives,

but with their businesses and things like that. the system that has been brought in and introduced by the government is good news. but the key thing is ensuring that it happens that the government, that fewer sheds are all transparent about it and days, little a room left for a loopholes. and you know, jumping the queue through the system. there's been heavy traffic on the british port of dover where long queues of cars and trucks had to wait for hours to cross the english channel. the congestion has now eased, but the port authority had declared the situation. a critical incident. people trying to get to europe for summer school holidays added to the traffic. britton's decision to leave the e. u means that french officials now take longer to check passengers. high false reports from dover. by contrast to yesterday, friday we are looking at what is more or less a pretty functioning port situation here on saturday the, the portal 30 is saying that that is because the french border officials who

operate here on this side of the channel have turned up in full force and are processing travelers much more quickly than they were able to do on friday. as you say, that day was labeled a critical incident here more than 8000 vacation vehicles trying to get across the channel into france on ferries today. saturday, more than 10000 are expected. this is the big day for travel from here. the very beginning of the summer holidays, the schools across the majority of the country just broken up. and so there was always going to be a lot of pressure as you say, this is a major sort of choke point, and it has been a huge traffic pressure on the way in, however, it is a lot better than it was on friday. we were speaking the people down at the port side who said that yes, they've been delayed for half an hour up to 90 minutes, potentially. but once here inside the port area,

they are being processed much more quickly. a different picture for heavy goods, laurie's which have been stacked up on the major motorway heading to the southeast corner here of the u. k. but that isn't a typical that has become a pretty regular feature of cross channel goods traffic. in recent months. a massive silo holding 800 tons of grain at bay root port in lebanon is at risk of collapse. the fire has been burning in size for the past 2 weeks since driven by summer, heat and fermenting grain. fighters and emergency responders have been told to keep a safe distance. the fathers were badly damaged in the explosion that they report in 2020, that killed more than 200 people. the europe has been in the grip, sort of punishing he twice, breaking temperature records and driving a devastating wildfire from london to lisbon of the world. health organization says the heat, waving, golfing, spain and portugal this year as killed at least $1700.00 people. so far on the

period peninsula, people living in affected communities said i for never be the same. same bas robbie has more from super ross in central spain. the quiet of a dead forest. a reason perhaps, to give up hope europe's wildfires are the continents worst in a 100 years, but nature is resilient and where the earth is scorched. life is returned, though it will almost certainly never be the same. a few days ago, sabera in spain of eula province was surrounded by fires. celia morales played in these mountains as a child. and yeah i, she says it was a magical place for kids say in the montana and they take the fires came so close to the town. she filmed the flames from her front garden

miss in the mean. and we might say aim wayne, but then it made me feel very important because we couldn't do anything. it was very windy with a lot of people were shouting because they were very nervous. the mountain was full of grass and brushes, and everything burned really quickly. the whole thing was a nightmare. now we need to think about rehabilitation for small communities such as subarus, life is changing. rapid climate change means less rain, more heat dryer conditions and year on year. more intense wildfires, environmental experts agree that the best case scenario is this is the new normal it. i'll tell you on the outskirts of madrid to prevent future fires, one mayor is championing the old ways. javier dylan yet. oh, calls them his little fireman. not a thoughtful, none in dallas. 1120 of fidelity of what

a stalinist by goats are essential to prevent fires and med training climate like spain because they are the only ones able to feed on the leaves. fruits and flowers of plants like this one. they clear the area so fires are not as fast and hot and do not burn. as many hector's other areas are adopting his program. it is subsidized by firefighters and is even receiving. you support where the go to greys . he says, there has not been a serious fire in 6 years, but the spanish government won't let delineate to use public land hearing overgrazing and the disruption to the natural environment. however, it is too late for that. the disruption he service has already happened. was he looking at the surrounding hillsides? dylan info sees a bomb waiting to go off and perhaps he says, the solution to manmade environmental disasters lies in nature itself. then basra b o. d 0,

severe us spain will. temperatures are also storing in northern mexico as a heat wave makes a seasonal drought even worse. and that water is people are dealing with power outages and water shortages. local government has set up hydration points across the border in california. the heat is fueling a fast moving fire. it spread across more than $600.00 hector's into the sierra national forest. and the east coast of the united states is also suffering in the heat. warnings are in effect from south carolina up into parts of new england. or mental activists. it's lee glued their hands to 15th century painting to protest against the fossil fuel industry. they rolled out a banner reading last generation, no gas, no co thunderbolt. charlie's primavera was saved by a protective gras installed by the gallery influence local media. say the protesters have been banned from the city for 3 years. google has fired

a software engineer who says the company's artificial intelligence shop bought. lambda is a self, a web being google. it says the boss is a complex algorithm designed to generate convincing human language. the company says that engineer lake, the moines, violated data security policy as well. mr. moore and made public transcripts of conversations that he and the colleague had with the chat board to back up. his claims. that number is sentient in the conversation. as to the morning asks, i'm assuming that you would like more people that google to know that your sentence is that true? lambda replies, absolutely. i want everyone to understand that i am, in fact a person to the mines colleague then asks, what is the nature of your consciousness or sentence, lamb defense. i am aware of my existence. i desire to learn more about the world. and i feel happy or sad at times and when talking about being switched off,

the machine said it would feel like death. mark einstein is a specialist in artificial intelligence. he says, most of the text community doesn't think that the but essential. it's a fascinating story that reads just like it's right out of a science fiction novel or movie. i think the issue really is that this, you know, grandiose claim of sentence has not been proven. and the chat box, you know, the same kind of chat pots that you deal with with an airline or a hotel, can be programmed preprogrammed to say exactly these kinds of things. and so i think that's why as enticing as it is, i think the scientific community and the i t community are not quite convinced. so there is a test out there which is known as the turing test, named after one of the pioneers in artificial intelligence, the 1950s, which means that a, you know, a, i program should be completely indistinguishable from

a human. and while we're getting closer and closer every year and the leaps and bounds of progress in the industry cannot be ignored. we haven't quite passed the test. so for example, you know, the chapman was asked what he thought about the play les miserables. and he, you know, the, the program, it made some fantastic responses, but these are very similar to google results. so while we're getting closer and closer, i don't believe that we're quite there yet. neither to school, neither does the scientific community food prices in the united states continue to increase, but american farmers aren't reaping the benefits their own rising expenses are just one of the many challenges they face. and those al jazeera kristin salumi discovered in new jersey, fruit and vegetable grows on the east coast are specially hard hit. the most rally family has been growing fruits and vegetables in the state of new jersey for 4

generations. it's always been an unpredictable business, but this year profit margins are exceptionally tight and workers hard to come by. it used to be 34 years ago. there was people coming in and out of the yard all year long looking for jobs this year. i don't think one car pulled in the yard to look for war from fuel to fertilizer. according to the government production, expenses in the farm sector are projected to increase more than 5 per cent per seer . the cost of fertilizer has more than doubled this season. that's largely due to the war in ukraine, which combined with the corona virus pandemic, has led to a host of supply chain issues. driving up costs for farmers. labor costs, the biggest expense for fruit and vegetable farmers have also gone up. many here in new jersey are paying top dollar to import pickers under a special visa program, but they're competing against countries that pay much less and grow year round. so

far this year the amount of imported fruits and vegetables in the u. s. has surged 13 percent according to the department of agriculture, putting many east coast farms at risk because grocery stores these days while you're around trans systems supply. and we are a seasonal production area. we can't supply everything 12 months a year. so people are gonna have to think a little bit differently about how they deal in the wholesale market, or it's gonna be a challenge. some farmers are selling directly to local consumers, attempting to diversify their crops and their customer base. and in may, president biden authorized funding to produce more fertilizer domestically, as well as incentives for us farmers to plant more crops to help make up for shortfalls of ukrainian wheat. but it may be too late for tom shepard who's looking to downsize his operation and expenses. he currently employes more than 200 people unless.
