hunt for oil thiefs ah, we begin in baghdad where rival protests are being held on either side of the tigris river, which divides the city thousands of protest is backing sheer politicians farther asada are still camped inside the rocky parliament. they stormed the building on saturday and the refusing to leave until there is an overhaul of iraq's political system and constitution. but a rival group known as the coordination framework is holding counter protests against to what it calls a suspicious qu, there's heavy security in and around the green zone to keep the 2 factions apart. one reason behind the paradise in baghdad is a rivalry between 2 of the rocks leading sheer politicians are toddler of santa, and the former prime minister. nearly a monarchy in october of populist leaders,

others coalition one the most seats in parliament, marquee, and others called the results illegitimate in june. so they told at more than 70 m . p. 's to resign, or that was after a boy called by mark his blow stopped his coalition forming of government. and in the sign of the tension there leaked all your recordings allegedly reveal it. malik, he insulting, sat down in them. he warns of a war between the rival sheer camps were motley, the other one had its at the counter protests near the 14th of july suspension bridge in baghdad. so my mood full of sin with what's happening there now will carry it's getting quiet now compared to earlier up one hour ago they had been, they were chanting a lot. they were walking around and they're even pulling down concrete blocks,

leading to the greens on this is the 14th of july area and just re a neighborhood that's very close. it's that a bordering neighborhood with the green zone up they have been chanting against decrease case taker. most of our, i'll call the me, ironically, linking him to up as they say, collaborating with the supporters of mac, that us other in order to stay a longer in power. these are supporters of the pro iran parliamentary or block are called the coordinating frame work. they have been chanting against israel, they have been chanting against the united states, linking them to what they call a conspiracy against iraq and debt that entails the seller to supporters. it being part of that conspiracy. so that is part of the campaigns and counter campaigns. ah, chance and counter chance sitting counter to sit in escalation counters escalation

but that have been similarities that have been similarity between the 2 or a val approach as you can see behind me there under thousands also like this. other supporters coming from several cities across iraq, li, the seller supporters dressed in black because they're both she and they're now in the holy month of more harm. that's the arabic month of bottom. were that's when they're, a mammal foreseen was mature, 1300 years ago. so for them, this is a month of a religious or air sacred occasion, but both of them have different agendas. they have different affiliations and have different plants at these protests, as they say that they have come here to day, as they say, to preserve and protect the legitimacy of the state, the legitimacy of the state. and then it, it took to regain or to retain the legitimacy of the parliament that is occupied by supporters as they called them. they also say that they are rejecting the coo

bye. and so the support us, but whether or not they will stay on like also the supporters at we don't know for certain the if they say that there are still waiting for instructions from the leaders to leave or stay ok. live in baghdad. markwood under what had, thanks for updating us. there will be more dos. so jabari has been in apartment building in baghdad, green zone and sent this update. these demonstrators are very much the same as when they answer saturday afternoon. they say they're here to stay as long as they're needed to. one man even told me you're willing to say a year if that is either on the other required of what they're counting on a regular basis behind me is that no one can be referring to other all other who i have to say from the media office we do turn verging, iraqis was not love other provinces to come back to stay at home until sunset

further instructions. this is the 1st time we've heard from his office today because last night, also shared as we thing all iraq, to support these demonstrators and come out to show their support in baghdad. but since then, the latest we've heard from his media relations office is that people should stay in the provinces until further notice. what we do know is that they are saying they want a complete overhaul of the system, a new constitution. what is going on in iraq is not working for them either off the other, lots of political sphere a few weeks ago and also withdrew 73 of his empty, who had been elected during the october election last year. and was that's on the other side to pollution framework, which is made up of the group renew back and, and parties for them to actually have more seats in parliament. and now the parliament is gone pretty much. what they say is they are all counter

demonstrations outside of brings on where i'm standing, 3 kilometers away. and we saw earlier footage also demonstrated trying to concrete walls to get over the area and into the green zone, which will bring them one step closer to the big building. and these demonstrators, that is something that is being prevented by the country security force. and they say that these demonstrators are not presented by the entire latino population, that they only represent faction of the iraqi people. and that they are holding their country's political system hostage. and what they've done here is tantamount to a cool course. the 2nd time these demonstrators, with on this building over the past week, this condo here here to same as i do. for

the 1st time since the war in ukraine began, the ship had filled with grain has left port under a deal struck with russia. united nations chief says, resumption of grain that shipment will help bring stability to global food markets . what we have witnessed there, you know, this is an important starting point. it must be the 1st of many commercial shapes bringing relief and stability to global food markets. the black sea great initiative, the last 4 significant volumes of exports from city ukrainian ports. odessa, charter on mosque and use ne, together we the agreed facilitation of the unimpeded, excessive russian food products and fertilizers to weld markets. it will bring relief and stability to global food markets and help tackle the global food crisis . well, john hanjin was there in odessa, the ship left port o. this is a ship that could launch a 1000 others. the rezone is the 1st cargo vessel to carry ukrainian grain through

a long time coming, but this is a ship. everyone's been waiting for coursing through war time waters on its way to feed the world. ukraine says the shipments will create jobs and provide money to fuel the war effort. as the 1st of last year's delayed crop leaves farmers risk their lives for this season's harvest. sometimes led by de mining cruise. sometimes not. this harvester struck an explosive. the danger on the grain trail continues on the black sea journey to turkey through waters dotted with sea mines in an active war's own. it's all managed through a joint coordination center in turkey, and extraordinary collaboration between representatives from the u. n. ukraine and russia. we believe that it's critical to and to ensuring global foot security. so yes, we need, we need to succeed. whether this is the beginning of the effort to avert a global food crisis or the end depends in part on the voyage of the rezone,

the devastation caused by all bunkering is massive. hidden under 3 canopies, the old thieves are putting finishing touches to this facility capable of refining tens of thousands of gallons a day. and instead of using firewood, then our steel gas to distill the cold, military come on to say that a 100 of these illegal distilleries scattered across the oil producing delta in addition to bleeding the economy dry. the operations also damaged the environment because they are not properly equipped to process could oil the blend of nigeria oil has left the country unable to meet or pick quarter activity. so going on, as i speak to you now as so much collaboration going with the communities to make sure that there was a what in the process of protecting these assets. and the company looks up to the renewed clamp down to return to profitability.
