of different determination, i'm coming down with me, but we are with the 16 people with corruption, with compassion, al jazeera, whoops, a selection of the best films from across our network of channels. there's a wave of sentiment around the world. people actually want accountability from the people who are running their countries and i think often people's voice is not heard because it's not part of the mainstream news narrative. obviously we cover the big stories and report from the big events that are going on. but we also tell the story that people generally don't have a voice. and whenever a child that's never be afraid to put your hand up, not a question. and i think that's what i'm really does. we ask the questions, the people who should be accountable, and also we get people to give their view of what's going on with
9:01 pm
this is al jazeera ah hello, i'm carrie johnston. this is a news our life is coming up in the next 60 minutes. ukraine says russia has bombed the bought of odessa just a day off to a deal was reached to allow ships filled with grain to leave. sounding the alarm at the world health organization is she's, it's the strongest warning yet. declaring monkey pox, a global health emergency anger on the streets, into nicea head of a controversial referendum and the constitution and relieving pressure at the pumps . fuel is back on stage and anchor under new rationing system. hello, i'm sorry,

higher to the latest sports. shackleton class takes poll position for the french formula, one grand prix, and another world report for american sydney mclaughlin. and she blew away the competition. and the world athletics championship. ah, less than 24 hours after moscow key that signed the landmark deal to unblock grain exports from ukraine's southern ports. ukrainian military says russia has attacked the nation's main port in odessa. give it says their missile defense system shot down 2 missiles and 2 others hit port infrastructure, but didn't cause much damage on fischer reports overhead. but till till side. just hours after moscow signed an agreement with keith tele, essential greed shipments to leave odessa. to keep like c port came under fire oh, residence feeling for the lives and claims of smoke clearly visible across the city
9:03 pm
. the ukrainian military says to rush in caliber cruise missiles, hit buildings at the port, and its air defenses brought down to others by no significant damage was close to the port infrastructure. the pump station was hey, caught fire in the fire was taken out in the attorney in foreign ministry, has called the attack caught a spit in the face of turkey. and the united nations which held brooker the shipping agreement. while the president has condemned it. it said misled the whole jak jura, this after turkey and the you and said yesterday that they know how to negotiate with russia and ensure security. a green corridor for the export of ukrainian grain and not even 24 hours had passed before the grain terminals. the territory of odessa and the ports were struck in russia was quick to deny the attack to turkey, who helped broken the deal less than 24 hours had passed since un secretary general
9:04 pm
. antonio gutierrez praised the deal to open ukrainian ports to commercial food exports. as a beacon of hope, a deal to clear the way for the shipment of millions of tons of ukrainian grain. some russian exports of green and fertilizer held up by the war. ukraine is one of the world's largest exporters of wheat, corn and sunflower, oil. the rushes invasion and located its ports, halted shipments a hold on that is exposed countries around the world, especially in africa and the middle east to the threat of a food crisis. i think the other factor here is that there are a lot of neighboring countries agent, for example, which russia has fairly good relationships with. and that's, those are exactly the countries that have really been suffering from the increase in grain prices brought prices, things like that. so i don't think russia wants to make itself look like the bad guy on the block, emmy this week, russia announced it was broadening the scope of its military operation in ukraine.
9:05 pm
that suggest piece is a long way off. what remains is the specter of a global food crisis that could cause unrest in other countries. alan fisher, i'll just either ukraine for lexi contra ranko and so ukrainian n p from a desk. he joined the fly from washington. d. c. thanks for being on the program. now, why would russia hit this? having just signed the deal to unblock grain from black people? i mean, they say they had nothing to do with it. and who did it? ellen's mean, that is a sibling and why and all the time. 247. like i was saying, we're not going to invade ukraine. and then they did it. and he and ally, and all the time. now, some missiles appeared from missiles, we shall cover the most powerful and most precise, the full russian missiles at talked about. so who did, i mean, that is the same question and it's clear who did it, why they did it? here, i think in swan explanation,
9:06 pm
russia doesn't want any do on grain. they want as much cars as possible. they want people starving enough africa in middle east, in other countries, countries like lebanon, and for example, depends on your grain, which on 80 percent, like 50 percent and many, many other countries. and they want these people to suffer. and they want to have social unrest. and hunger riots in this country. they want you millions of refugees running away from their home to find some shelter in europe and bread in europe. that's what they want. and that's why, despite the fact that yesterday they sigh immediately and they started to disrupt the do. does this strike then give them what you say on the test to make any kind of further deals more difficult? your grain, by the way, for your grand to do is, is less important than for the whole world because we are not stuck having not
9:07 pm
enough food in our country. we don't want to see how other people are starving. we don't want the man and we'd like terrorism to hundreds of millions of people as hostages in this. and definitely now we have problems. ukraine is ready to continue the deal. we are ready to receive the sheepskin odessa to put gray in on them and just send them. and fortunately damage was not so big because ukraine intercepted 2 or 4 missiles like you told. but definitely that is now a big challenge. sure. who just imagine you are ship. oh, not own insurance company. oh, the most important crew of the ships we should come to a desk and you see all of these on all channels in the world. so as an n p from a desk itself, what are you calling for then from the international community. at this time, i call them to understand the duke knowledge that russia do not, never,
9:08 pm
ever russia respect the agreements they sign in. russia only understand one language language of force and only because it great an army destroyed potter for our russian. lexi fleet only because really bridge and snake highland in the black sea. only because this happened weekend was made to go to the deal, but he will not respected until he will know that he will be punished. so give more weapon to retrieve grade, give us possibility to punish russians for if they will disrupt and do in future. and to stop everything, what's going on in your grade and in the book, because it has huge consequences for any person on the planet that even far away food prices. now other things and everybody. is there any chance to talk then that this grain deal could be a window, however small to some kind or starting some kind of why the piece
9:09 pm
no, i don't think so. it's printing doesn't want to the greg ukrainian territory center . we are not going to give up any inch of our territory. we want to restore international order. we want to restore our serenity, like we have the whole ride for this. so i don't see for the moment, you know, we are ready for negotiation today about how russians are coming back at least to the positions of primary 24. if not, i don't see many ways to continue. and definitely again, rush to show the world how they respect today their responsibility. ok, with that, let's say considering m p from a desk that we very much appreciate your time here and i'll just say thank you. thank you. of the world health organization has declared the foster spreading monkey folks outbreak. a global health emergency is the w. a chose highest level of alerts. it was issued by the human health agency chief despite a deadlock among experts over the decision to jose. at han,

9:12 pm
somebody who might be ideal. that should be contact tracing, and there should be widespread testing and there should be a, a strategic deployment of vaccines to really try to nip this in the bud. but the window for containment of mocking boxes rapidly closing. and we, we fear that this could become endemic in europe, north america, and other parts of the world over the next months in years. morehead on the news are including food prices, maybe going out, but that's not helping american farmers. some kristen salumi and i'll tell you why rocks, parliament tolls and emergency sessions discuss an attack on a resort town. it blames on turkey and in sports also continue this summer spending spree us a coach unites with an old friend ah

9:16 pm
it really hurts. so honestly, i know there are border guards and many soldiers to protect the people of these villages, whether they are tourists or locals. of course, we are afraid of the many turkish military bases above us, but life does not stop like treasures continue their daily work. all of you know, 23 villages in the dark. our district are abandoned due to these conflicts between the p k. k militants and the turkish army. the look i heard on the wall had reports not from back that the parliament has suggested forming a committee to coordinate with another committee previously formed by the government to respond to win his days at tag that killed mine civilians and enjoy the more than 20 others. in barrack resort in the city, that is part of the whole province in the semi autonomous region. now, lawmakers have been divided and that opinions along their political affiliations. for example, the parliamentary block affiliated to iran, want
9:17 pm
a full will through one of the turkish forces from iraq and they want turkey to compensate the victims. some other lawmakers say that the turkish forces should coordinate with iraqi forces to eliminate the fighters of the p k. k, the called the stan workers party. now this extra ordinary session comes after protest have been staged in many iraqi cities calling on the government to eliminate all diplomatic ties, all diplomatic representation with turkey. in fact, some of them called on the government to close the border with turkey. now the iraqi for him ministry has requested from the united nations security council to hold an urgent meeting to tackle this issue. but or his
9:18 pm
order has been declared a military zone since the attack. but turkish forces have been conducting similar operations in the north teasing fighters of the could the workers party, the p k k in the north. and that includes joan attacks. a food prices in the united states continue to increase an american farmers aunt reaping the benefits their own. rising expenses are just one of the many challenges they face. and thus al jazeera, kristen salumi discovered in new jersey, fruit and vegetable growers on the east coast are especially 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
9:19 pm
long looking for jobs this year. i don't think one car pulled in the yard to look for work from fuel to fertilizer. according to the government production, expenses in the farm sector are projected to increase more than 5 percent this year . 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 pad damage 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
9:20 pm
you're around consistent supply. and we are a seasonal production area. we can't supply everything 12 months of the year. so people are gonna have to think a little bit differently about how they deal and the wholesale market i'm, it's going to be a challenge. some farmers are selling directly to local consumers attempting to diverse, i, 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 employs more than 200 people. unless the ya berkin consumer brewster request their supermarkets through the stock local, you know, we lease that u. s. made stuff. we're going to have a tough time because we are wages of so much higher farmers think it's a small price to pay to preserve local jobs and farm land. kristin,
9:21 pm
silly me al jazeera cedar though new jersey was staying with this with him. lee is the chief economist within milken institute. he joins us live from washington, dc. we very much appreciate your time. so is that one the main reason for this inflation or is it more a combination of factors? well, of course, every is combination of factors about this particular inflation because it's so complex, complicated coming from both supply and demand elements. for shore costs for small businesses have gone up, the labor shortages is something that every businesses experienced because people are like centrally upgrading their skills during the pandemic. and they're looking for jobs that have a higher pe because they now have higher skills. so the low skilled workers and the warehouse workers are having a there's a shortage because they have moved on to other jobs. that said then in times of economic policy, what is actually needed to adjacent lation? what needs to be done was the best analysis i've seen so far attributes about
9:22 pm
a 3rd to a half of the inflation above 3 to 4 percentage points out of the 9 that we have today to supply side. but the other half is come from demand side, which means that people are really spending a lot more on that there's available supply. and what policies doing is to try to cut back on the demand side. high prices by themselves already forced people to spend less, but what the fed is trying to do is to say their particular markets that are specifically super hot, like the real estate market that are driving up housing prices and rent prices. and so the thirds of is raising interest rates to try to contain the demand in these very hot element of interest sensitive sex sectors. if, if, for example, i was a resolution to the war in ukraine, how quickly would that feed through to the u. s. economy well, you would see immediate effects in the sense that the wheat that is sitting there in the warehouses in ukraine can get out to the rest of the world. now ukraine
9:23 pm
general supplies week to the emerging market countries. but what that means is that a frees up the supplies that are going to the emerging markets from the united states, and allows prices in the united states to come down. so an end, the war ukraine would not only help us consumers, but global consumers around the world, especially the heart hit emerging market a poorer countries that are so depended upon the ukraine as the supply of wheat and other food stuff. so how well is the u. s. government doing then when it comes to trying to resolve this? well i, there's very little us can do to convince why they're putting to withdraw his troops and the fighting. but i think what the us is trying to do is to increase the available supply, especially of energy. unfortunately, president biden's program of going green and cutting back our discharging oil, oil, refining and gasoline production out stage has contributed greatly to raising prices for specific items like gasoline. and what we can do is reverse some of these poor regulatory changes and enable the u. s. b, again,
