6:02 am
a death at less than 24 hours. after the 2 warring nations assigned a deal to release grain exports from ukraine's southern ports. he says their defense system shot down to marseilles, while 2 others hit the port. the criminal denies the claims whether you are secretary of state is also by moscow saying the attack to cast doubt on how committed the russians are. to friday's dale, alan fisher reports with her head the tilting sign. mm. just hours after moscow signed an agreement with keith tele essential green shipments to leave odessa. keep like seat port came under fire, her residence feeling for their lives. and plumes of smoke clearly visible across the city. the ukrainian military says to russian caliber cruise missiles hit buildings at the port and that its air defenses brought down to others. why not significant damage was close to the port infrastructure. the pump station was here, he caught fire and the fire was taken out. the training in foreign ministry has
6:03 am
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 jaw 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 grain and not even 24 hours had passed before the green 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 . antonia 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,
6:04 am
corn and sunflower oil. that 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 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. and we, this week rush announced that was broadening the scope of its military operation and ukraine, that suggest peace is a long way off. what remains is the specter of a global foot crisis that could cause unrest in other countries. alan fisher, i'll just either ukraine, intersection of states as a blanket has condemned the attack. rosalind jordan has more from washington, essentially the secretary of state called into question,
6:05 am
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 todd russia is responsible in the u. s. is 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 that it has out of the best of intentions. and instead it needs to stop perpetuating its attack on ukraine. now, this set, the statement as it is really doesn't come as a surprise, even as the un and turkey were trying to broker this deal earlier this week. as the
6:06 am
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. the world health organization is declared monkey folks outbreak, a global health emergency. it says the risk is higher in europe, but moderate globally in the united states. there's a shortage of test kits. vaccines. as rog, reynolds intervals in san francisco, people waited in line to get vaccinated for monkey pucks, a virus that is spreading so rapidly. the world health organization has now declared it a global health emergency. we have an outbreak that has spread around the world rapidly through new modus of transmission about which we understand too little,
6:07 am
and which meets the criteria in the international health regulations for all of the reasons i have decided that the global monkey books outbreak represents a public health, emergency of international concern. there have been about $3000.00 cases in the us so far, and many more in europe and dozens of other countries, including india, russia, and brazil. met ford battled the virus for more than 3 weeks and was excruciating, at times i had intense flu like symptoms, so fever, chills, sore throat cops, sweating through my sheets at night. and then you know, the tell, tell skin lesions which i had from the get go, but more of them appeared around the infection. and towards the end, i counted more than $25.00 all over my body. and they just appeared everywhere, you know, at worst on more sensitive skin and more sensitive areas. women and children in the u. s. have caught monkey pox, but the u. s. centers for disease control says 99 percent of the cases are seen
6:08 am
among gay and bisexual men. the disease is spread by close skin, the skin body, contact muggy box vaccine and testing kits are in short supply frustrating health experts. i think we kind of stumbled out of the blocks in a few ways, one of which is testing. i don't think there was enough testing available early enough. and then the 2nd thing is with the vaccines we have vac seems available. they're approved. we've had them purchased, they are in a national stockpile and it's been getting them out of the stockpile. it's been really challenging. and that's currently where the bottom like is right now. the white house says the government has distributed 300000 houses of monkey pox vaccine and is tried to speed up the shipment of about 800000 more doses from denmark where they are manufactured. but that may be too little, too late. i think i'm very worried that the window for contain this outbreak is closing quite quickly. and so without the vaccines, i'm just very nervous that we're not going to be able to contain this as quickly as
6:09 am
we like math ford said he's disappointed that the public health response to the outbreak seems sluggish. yet i think the government response has been very flawed. contrary to weighed 2 and a half years of dealing with the cova pandemic, public health systems in the us and elsewhere are stretched to their limits and ill prepared to handle new outbreaks of disease. rob reynolds al jazeera, los angeles tax, how's a former w h. her assistant director general and a global health professor at carnegie mellon university jones re now from washington d. c. jack by no means is the w 8 show unified on this are a lot of dissenting voices within this. whether it should have been declared a global health emergency, it's been declared that is this the w. h o irving on the side of caution, or is this urging he government to do more? well, thank you for having me added the w h o convenient to experts meeting this to deliberate
6:10 am
on the severity and the urgency of responding to this crisis. and they developed a series of what i would call a as a epidemiological dashboard. and the experts can reasonably oh, look at the data over the past month and think, well there are some indicators that $2.00 ah, rather than it's not as severe as one would think. however, the critical weakness of the data is that is often lags reality, that the virus may be ahead of the data. so it's in my judgement that dr. teenagers is airing on the side of taking pro action to mobilize governments and mobilize civil society. it's not only a medical response, it's a political response, and that is what is needed at all countries at all community levels in order to
6:11 am
truncate the epidemic at the but we have a lot. busy of right now, pandemic fatigue, people, ordinary people just fed up of the restrictions. okay. with krona virus tron restrictions, the moss, et cetera, et cetera. and we almost now are rolling into this idea that monkey vote may be spreading. and once again, people are just like, well, it turned out the cove. it wasn't that bad. i mean that's what people think. maybe this isn't that body that you are fighting a public information campaign here as well. right? yes, sir, we've gone through 2 years of covered in there. so a pervasive psychological resignation. unfortunately, to the pandemic and to the voice of science. and now we have monkey parks and monkey pox can be very dangerous, particularly to pregnant women andr feed at their developing fetus. it can be very dangerous to the immunocompromised, in certain circumstances,
6:12 am
a can cause brain and spinal cord infection and even blindness. so while there are patients, such as the gentleman who you interviewed earlier, who have a self limited course, in many places of the world with fragile health systems, death and disability as well as fear stigma and the discrimination a can that can a result. so it really takes some, a, a concerted action at the global level, a to 2, or hopefully eradicate what's going on right now. well, the good news is, is that there is a vaccine. the bad news is, is that in america, the vaccine is been stockpile. getting outlet stockpile is proven to be difficult. denmark which manufactures the vaccine, isn't, hasn't got the capacity to get it out internationally, not least quickly. anyway. how much of that is worry? it, what, what is needed is a fall. so response
6:13 am
a blossoming of public health capabilities that commensurate with the exponential growth of the epidemic we've seen in the covet campaign stead f for p p and the ventilators are insufficient than the virus runs rampant and hospitals are swamp. so it is absolutely essential that the supply chains open up a full boar and, and the public health officials and 1st line implementers have the equipment, have these supplies that they need. so there, ah, patients can avail themselves of the antivirals anna vaccines. as soon as scott, as soon as possible, or jack, if that's the case, then why not force governments by making this much more stronger than just an advisory? because advisory means that governments internationally can ignore it. if it's that much of a problem, or if we need to get this vaccine out,
6:14 am
why don't we make epidemic? well, what we need is quite frankly, a pandemic response treaty. and that has been proposed. i, it is sir, going through the slow diplomatic processes, but monkey pox compels ought to be compelling. ah, what i would call a medical nato type of response that countries, arden should knit together and release stockpiles, deploy personnel to the front lines as, as soon as possible. the global health emergency declaration, w h o z, a member state organization. it cannot command countries, it can advise and support countries, but it, it, it, dr. tedra us declaration is an important signal because it allows viejo, a foothold into the offices of presidents and prime ministers to say fighting monkey parks. fighting coven fighting future. pandemic is a political responsibility, as it is a public health responsibility to their constituents tag. how. busy life from more
6:15 am

6:22 am
massive log germs of traffic stretching back up the arteries, heading for this southeast corner of england. the port then blaming a lack of french immigration stuff on this side of the channel for the problems. but now there is a big backlog from yesterday's traffic to clear 8 and a half 1000 or more holiday vehicles trying to get through here on friday more than 10000 expected on saturday. this is a key part of the big. somebody gets away in britain with most of the schools closing at the end of last week. so far though, the situation is much improved from what we saw on friday. things are moving through the port very well and as soon as soon as you get on your way through border controls, we've got an our operators have enough people been in the check in and then they'll put you on the next available ferry. we still have quite some considerable backlog up on the motorway still on the roads to accessing the port and there is some delays coming through there. so we're trying to get as many people through that process to get them into the port to get them on their way. that has been some
6:23 am
political fall out to all of this though the british foreign secretary lives trust, essentially blaming a lack of french stopping at the border controls here on the british side for the scenes that we saw on friday, that was a message repeated by her fellow conservative local m p for dover on saturday. but a message entirely refuted by that n p. his counterpart over in kelly, the french m. p. they're saying that this was a symptom of breaks it. that because of the increased border checks, increased possible checks, bull, lengthy procedures were now necessary. also saying that the british had not built up capacity here at dover, as they had in kelly in france as for the port authority itself. it's saying that it has now started to clear the backlog from those chaotic scenes on friday. now that the staffing levels a back up to full strength traffic is flowing pretty normally. europe has been in the grips of punishing. he weigh the breaking temperature records and driving
