which held drucquer of the shipping agreement. while the president has condemned it, it says reset the whole jak jaw. 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. a territory of odessa and the ports were struck in. but russia was quick to deny the attack to turkey, who helped broken the deal less than 24 hours had passed since you and 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. 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
8:04 am
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, asia, 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. brad prices, things like that. so i don't think russia wants to make itself look like the bad guy on the block. only 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 foot crisis that could cause unrest in other countries. alan fisher, i'll jessina ukraine. intersection of state antony blanket has condemned. the attack wasn't. jordan has more from washington. essentially, the secretary of state called into question, russia's intent to make good on the deal, which it's signed indirectly with ukraine on friday to allow stores of raw grain to
8:05 am
travel from a ukraine through the boss for us and 2 destinations around the world. the secretary of state, in a written statement, noted that tug 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 can also one noted that this is incumbent upon russia to demonstrate that it has all 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 un and turkey were trying to broker this deal earlier this week. as the state department spokesperson,
8:06 am
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, the monkey pokes outright a global health emergency. it says the risk is higher in europe member, moderate globally in the united states. as we say, there's a shortage of test kits and vaccines as well. reynolds ripples in san francisco. people waited in line to get vaccinated for monkey pox. 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 wood rapidly through new mode itself. transmission about which we understand truly to and which meets the criteria in the international health regulations put off bas
8:07 am
reasons. i have decided that the global monkey books outbreak represents a public cold emergency of international concern. there have been about 3000 cases in the u. s. so far and many more in europe and dozens of other countries including india, russia, and brazil. mat ford battled the virus for more than 3 weeks and was excruciating at times you know m, i had intense flu like symptoms, so fever, chills, sore throat and cough, sweating, dr. sheets at night. and then, you know, that tells how skin regions which i had from the get go, but more of them appeared around me, infection. and towards the end, i counted more than $25.00 all over my body. and they just appeared everywhere. and you know, at worst on more sensitive skin and more sensitive areas, women and children in the u. s. have clot monkey pox, but the u. s. centers for disease control says 99 percent of the cases are seen
8:08 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 vaccines available. they're approved, we have them purchase, they are in a national stockpile and it's been getting them out of the stockpile has been really challenging. and that's currently where the bottleneck 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 we like. math ford said he's disappointed that the public health response to the
8:09 am
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 u. s. and elsewhere are stretched to their limits and ill prepared to handle new outbreaks of disease. rob reynolds al jazeera, los angeles tact. how's a former w h o? assistant director general, and a professor at carnegie mellon university. he's backing the health agencies decision, the w h o convened to experts, a meeting this to deliberate on the severity and the 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 the a reasonably oh, look at the data over the past month and think,
8:10 am
well there are some indicators that her pointer i rather oh that 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 truncate the epidemic at the bud. so monkey pox can be very dangerous, particularly to pregnant women and her. she that they're developing fetus, it can be very dangerous to the immunocompromised. and in certain circumstances, a can cause brain and spinal cord infection. and even blindness. fighting is broken
