defenses brought down to others. why not significant damage was close to the port infrastructure. the pump station was hit, it caught fire and the fire was taken out. the ukrainian 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 young shaudra this after turkey and the un said yesterday that they know how to negotiate with russia and insure security. a green corridor for the export of ukrainian green, and not even 24 hours had passed before the green terminals. the territory of odessa and the ports were struck in. patricia was quick to deny the attack to turkey, who helped broken the deal less than 24 hours had passed since un secretary general . 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 green,
2:04 am
and 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 rushes, invasion, and located its ports, halted shipments. a holder 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 the 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. 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, whether you are such
2:05 am
a state anthony blinkin has condemned the missile attack on the port of odessa. rosalind jordan joins us live now from washington. dc was then somewhat more than anti blink. and i have to say that well, essentially, the secretary of state called into question, russia's intent to make good on the deal, which it signed indirectly with ukraine on friday to allow stores of raw grain to travel from ukraine through the boss for us. and 2 destinations around the world, the secretary of state, in a written statement noted that tub russia is responsible in the u. s. his view for not just the attack risking the lives of ukrainian civilians, but is also responsible directly for what he called, a deepening global choruses of, of food deprivation, antony blank. and also one noted that this is incumbent upon russia to demonstrate
2:06 am
that it has out of the best of intentions. and instead it needs to stop perpetuating its attack on ukraine. now, this is the statement as it is really doesn't come as a surprise, even as the u. n. and turkey were trying to broker this deal earlier this week. as the state department spokesperson, net price made note of the fact that all of the responsibility for the success of this deal would lie at the feet of moscow. and the suggestion from the state department at the time was not optimistic, but certainly of any thing is better than what had been happening, which is the grain not being moved at all or to rosen jordan life or stay in washington dc. roslyn. thank you. now the world health organization has declared the monkey books outbreak. a global health emergency says the risk is high in europe, but moderate globally. it's the villagers highest level of alerts, more than 70 countries of recorded cases of the virus. many of them for the 1st
2:07 am
time monkey books is common in parts of central and western africa. we have an outbreak that has spread around the wood rapidly through new modes 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 books outbreak represents a public cold emergency of international concern. so what exactly is a global health emergency? well, it's the delay chose highest alert level for an outbreak. it means that country should work together to prevent a pandemic. the organization can issue guidance to governments, but it can't force them to take specific action, like vaccine mandates. but they must report events that pose a threat to global health. the double h o says there's little chance the virus will disrupt travel right now, but it's warning monkey folks could spread. director general federal other non
2:08 am
gabrielle says more than 16000 people i've been infected will wide, and 5 have died. matthew cabinet is the deputy executive director of the u. n's aids agency. he joins us live from washington, d. c. matthew goods, happy with a. so we are around $16000.00 cases of monkey pops around the world. do you think the dublin show made the right decision to declare the outbreak of global health emergency death? absolutely, with, with 16000 cases that 75 different countries. that's up from just over 3000 cases and 47 countries in, in may. we've now got a number of countries that have not previously had reported cases of monkey pox. you've got it in europe, you've got it largely in the america. there's a significant rise in western central africa. this is the moment to pay attention to this disease and try to act now. haul out governments to act before it gets too much further out of control. and the head of the doublet show had the deciding vote
2:09 am
on this declaration, matthew. but why was there a deadlock among the panel of experts? i mean, it's a scientific scientific evidence. is there? why was there a split decision? do you think? so the way that these work is that this is an advisory committee. you've got a scientists from all over the world who are looking at the evidence and are making this decision, but fundamentally the declaration of a public health emergency of international concern. this is a piece of international law that's embedded in the international health regulations that decision lies only with the director general of the world health organization. so it's actually a combination of a legal decision and a political decision alongside a scientific decision. so what you had is different scientists looking at this decision and saying we think it is, or it is not ultimately the director general actually listen to those who have the most experienced and similar outbreaks, for example in h i v. and so what he did is follow that that guidance and, but it ultimately is up to him. and in the end, he looked at and said, look,
2:10 am
governments need the warning that comes with the public health emergency of international concern. and now is the moment to strike politically, but also legally and also scientifically all at once and laughter. it's worth pointing out that deborah, yes, us had previously come under criticism for not declaring the corona virus pandemic, a global health emergency much sooner. do you think that criticism might have had some impact on this monkey pox decision? well, i think i'm in the world health organization declared a cove at 19 a, an international health emergency about 30 days after they 1st heard about it. so there was, there was some lag but not a huge lag. but what you do see is that the core question here is, is there an opportunity to push governments help governments to enable some action that isn't happening in here? what we see is that governments aren't stepping up in the way that they need to quite yet. we see that in fact, a public health emergency might be able to get governments to step up for this disease that mostly affecting men who have sex with men, gay men on it's primarily actually kind of moving around the world in
2:11 am
a way that could be stopped with a vaccine, but we don't see the kind of sharing of vaccines that we need. we don't see the kind of information that's going out to governments and from governments to their populations that are needed. and so what we, what you heard from the local health organization today was a, this is a crisis that requires government action be we need to be sharing vaccines around the world. and see, we really need to be acting against stigma, discrimination that's actually driving the disease as a, just with those 3 conditions was unquestionably in as a final 40 matthew. so what does all of this mean that in terms of how countries respond to monkey pokes and other lessons do think to be learned from other global health emergencies? like corona virus like h, i v for absolutely. i mean, the director general got it right here. and one of the things that we, we have seen over and over again is that when we act slowly, we have diseases get out of out of control. but the 2nd is that we don't share
2:12 am
technology. and so in this case, we've got vaccines that are working for monkey pox, but we didn't share the vaccines that were working for current of iris fast enough . and we ended up with the virus that we do. the same happened in h i v, where we didn't act as sherry chevy treatment the way we could have. and that disease also got out of control and they, we still have a pandemic that's killing at nearly a 1000000 people. and so how do we think about this together as a global response? that's the poor question, and that's what the world health organizations calling us to do today. that is not happening so far. michael. kevin, i really good to get your thoughts. thank you very much. indeed. matthew, thanks very much. now, fighting has broken out between rival arm groups near the libyan city of miss rata . it happened a day after at least 16 people were killed and a confrontation involving members of a special unit. and the presidential guard in the capital. tripoli malik china has more on the latest outbreak of violence. this is the aftermath of 2 days of sporadic fighting in tripoli. mohammed says he and his family were trapped in the
