7:02 pm
under this deal, which has brought down global food prices. ukraine's foreign minister to metro caliber has responded to russia, pulling out of the deal with a tweet, saying, we have warned of russia's plans to ruin the black sea grain initiative. now moscow uses a false, protects the block, the grain corridor, which ensures food security for millions of people. i call in all states to demand russia to stop its hunger games and re commit to its obligations. well, we have correspondence covering the story from ukraine, from turkey as well, and in a moment we'll hear from russel sir dar, in a stumble. first though, let's speak to harry for set and key. let's start with what ukraine says, are russia's excuses to pull out of this deal. why is this happening? well, it's happening right now, and russia says, as well because of what took place early on saturday morning are still in the darkness in sebastopol around sebastopol. lee, the crimean port,
7:03 pm
which houses russian warships as well as civilian shipping, the videos of what appeared to be seaborne drones hooping in on the russian military vessels. russia says there was a drone attack on sea and from the air that successfully repelled that attack and had only one of its ships, a minesweeper was slightly damaged. whether that is indeed the case or we have to wait and see. but the footage that has been circulating are on twitter and elsewhere does seem to suggest that there was a pretty major operation of some kind that was carried out. and so russia, in response to that, what it calls an act of terrorism committed by the key of regime with the participation of british specialists. it says britain has denied any such involvement that it's suspending this deal. and also that it can't guarantee the safety of civilian shipping in the corridors that had been a set up in the black sea. and we've also just the last couple of minutes seen a statement from the deputy ambassador of russia to the u. n saying that they will
7:04 pm
shortly be officially informing the un secretary general of the suspension of the attentive russian drew a ukrainian drone attack. excuse me, against russian military ships, ensuring se functioning of the agricultural deal. according to russian ministry of defense data carried out with u. k, support. russia suspends participation. and we've also had a response coming from the u and sex general's official spokesperson saying is vice . let all parties refrain from any action that would imperil the black sea. great initiative, which is a critical humanitarian effort. he says it has been improving access to food security around the world. larry harry force that reporting from keith. thank you very much. let's bring in russel sir dar in istanbul, turkey, his perspective is going to be key here, of course, because turkey helped broker this deal in the 1st place. take us back to just how difficult or difficult it was to get this deal in the 1st place and what happens
7:05 pm
now if, if you have any sense of that. well, the agreement after thompson taught intense is told between the key of moscow and credit, of course, by the movement of the united nations general secretary out on the terrace finally being waged in, in late july. and right after that, you have seen that the ship's starting to carry the green rain through, through the black sea. it was quite difficult several times. it was almost about to collapse, but somehow both both parties by tricky, also facilitating that they have been able to manage to, to, to, to, to, to pay the weight for the also simply, there has been a mechanism established by that time. and according to the mechanism 1st, the russian and the turkish will forces were supposed to clean the black sea from there. but the float in mind that were inserted by d,
7:06 pm
you bring an all forces to russia from at tech, into being imported is from the black sea stand at the 2nd stage, all the ships that were supposed to carry the ukrainian grains. and also 1st lines of course, to be packed and checked by the ration russian naval force. that was one of the main conditions of russia. but finally, we have seen that kid accepted that and since that any, each of the ships that were leaving the being imposed to these have been pack that or checked by the russian. and they will force us, it was quite a big deal. and also a, one of the main, i wanna say cobb success is the start of the war in green fabric each. so, but now we see that it is collapsing and there are no official statements. yes. from anchor from any to be sure. yet i think one of the reason for that credit and add one and paula, she's cabinet i'm talking vishal are at the moment tending to unhook the ceremony
7:07 pm
or the locally produced 1st ever car or target talk. and all of them now are in the city of booster and opening disney. in fact, that's right off that good. you're expecting them to come up with with some of the official statements or remarks at least. but the, it's not clear at the moment whether moscow has consulted pre or to a decision or not. but in any way, it's a huge blow to the deal that they have hardly had been paid to have been forced. and so turkey's position here is going to be who is going to be critical. but as of now, we can say that it is also a huge blow to the global food crisis and also fertilizers also part of this deal. and that's also going to be suspend or so 3rd, our life for mr. kimball. thank you very much. we'll keep a surprise as soon as you get a reaction from the turkish side. appreciate your reporting there. now let's bring
7:08 pm
in matthew breeza. he is former us diplomat and national security official. he joins us from a stumble. matthew, can we get 1st your read on what's going on? sure cereal, and thank you so much for having me on. so this is, 1st of all, the fact that russia chose to break the agreement today is a huge slap in the face to turkey. as your correspondent was just saying, the turkish government hasn't had a chance to respond yet. it's not only because they're opening the 1st ever clean domestic car factory and turkey. it's also because today's the most important national holiday for the turkish state, it's republic day. so it's like the equivalent of, you know, july 4th, independence day in the united states. huge slap in the face undercutting what was turkey's proudest diplomatic moment in decades. the fact that they were able to provide relief, really for the global south, and stop russia from instrumental ising poor people and food. now that's all thrown out the window. so turkey will be furious, of course, then washington will be so secretary of state blink and warned a few days ago,
7:09 pm
actually, yesterday, that were russia to go ahead with this threat to pull out of the agreement. they'll be anger globally. because if you russia, call the ukrainian military attacks on military ships of russia, a terrorist attack, but terrorism means violence and harm inflicted on innocent people for political gain. and that's exactly what cutting off the green shipment would constitute. its another tough tactic against innocent people, just like russia is conducting with its attacks on civilian infrastructure in ukraine. or you say there's going to be anger globally. that may be the case, but russia has all the leverage here. right? well, russia has a lot of leverage inasmuch as it's it's, it's fleet can blockade the ukrainian ports. but ukraine saw chief of the navy said a couple of months ago that ukraine will destroy russia's black sea fleet. eventually, i think, put in worried if these were minor drawn attacks, but ukraine has seal sure to ship missiles that well as we know, our sank rushes, our flagship of the black sea fleet,
7:10 pm
the most glad at the beginning of the war. but russia, you're right, russia has any enormous amount of leverage militarily for now, but it's losing a war. what russia lacks entirely as any political leverage it's, it's clearly going to be seen as being in the wrong, diplomatically, globally, on this. but i think you could draw a parallel between this and the energy crisis where russia has, i think, by, in, by, by most people's estimation of it is being seen as being in the wrong. and yet they don't mind flaring gas. they don't mind using energy as a weapon, you know, and, and there's no one so far as been able to stop them from doing that. well, you know that the only thing that's, that's permanent is change as the great greek philosopher heraclitus taught us. so things have changed on energy. europe has reacted and as you've seen in other headlines over the course of the past week, natural gas, momentarily in europe and the price of it was negative or was 0 because europe has reacted it as filled. it storage facilities. ah,
7:11 pm
and there's nowhere to unload liquid natural gas for the moment coming in to europe . so europe is going to make it through this winter. okay. without the rush and gas, but i agree with you in when you look forward to next year. ah, a complete lack of russian gas will create significant economic difficulties for the european union. but by the same token, the demand for that russian gas is being destroyed. as european consumers now begin increasingly shifting away from natural gas and reducing their consumption. i'm matthew breeza, u. s. diplomat national, former national security advice official. thank you so much. thank you, sir. or is the more breaking news on our 0 officials in south korea say around 50 people have suffered cardiac arrest following a crowd surgeon helloween facilities and sol? that's according to the young half news agency president you and your has apparently ordered officials to swiftly administer 1st aid and treat people on the scene. listen, kim is with us from sol. can tell us
7:12 pm
a little bit more about what happened. how do you come to this? yes, the incident happened is shortly before me, nice. saturday into sunday. look of time in e. taiwan, and ito on is a famous entertainment discreet in so in, with lots of bars and claws. and over the weekends, the area is usually crowded with lots of people to all the morning. but as i have been seen, seen of various social media videos, it seems that a lot more people turned out to night than usual, as people came out to enjoy hello m parties. i and both the main street and back alleys were bursting at the seams. according to social media media videos, did i have a watch? and then what appears to be a major stem be. it happened in one small alley, and a number of people fell and lost their consciousness and rescue workers and ambulances arrived at the scene shortly after. and they performed cpr on dozens of
7:13 pm
people in a b 2 resuscitated down. and apparently many of them appeared to have difficulties in breathing properly as so many were heavy cardiac arrest. and as you have mentioned the year in your intro, presently in sonya withered officials to cecily administer 1st aid and treat the people. and the last is to be our hearing, is that he is going to preside over an emergency meeting to discuss this at stant anthea at the time more than 100 fire fighting because the where movie lies to deal with this accident and to his people ah, were taken on ambulances, one by one to hospitals, across sole, and dea, or source, god tells me some are feared that, and many people in so are probably saying up late read those says so the show, as derek, getting an emergency alert on their mobile phone. and also sirens are going around
7:14 pm
because ambulance cars going to hospitals across a soul today? i am listen kim, in so thank you very much. there's been a suspected suicide attack in somalia, capital market issue, police and state media say there have been a number of death. 2 car bombs exploded at a busy intersection near several government offices on saturday afternoon. first blast sent a plume of spoke over the city. several minutes later there was a 2nd explosion as ambulances arrived on the scene. now there are reports that al chabad has claimed responsibility for the attack. who donna lee is a senior advisor to the mayor of mogadishu and has more on why the city was targeted. the location was really at the heart of the sure symbolic place. the militia nation was the cause. the balmy, really big time has the use intersection. but again, you know,
7:15 pm
she is using all this tactics to scare and making money in the capital. some of the areas are soft targets just because it's used by the public. it is they are located in areas that are, you know, part of the city central. so it's really hard to sometimes prevent these attacks, but nevertheless, i think we have seen a reduction in the tax. the last attack was that the hotel had hotel for nearly 48 hours. it just tells you that shut up is being looted out, but they are really forced to be reckoned with them and it will take time for us to be eliminated from the capital. but the work is ongoing. now we'll see a lot of tax. i am sure just because of the ongoing government and community
7:16 pm
uprising that we are seeing across the country. a result to presidential candidates have held their final tv debate for the desirable scenario and challenger lula da silva tried to sway undecided voters 2 days ahead of the election. this is said to be one of the closest votes yet in brazil. was if, if you declare yourself as being the father of the poor, but in 2021 to support the poor since they were obliged to stay at home due to college. 19, we gave them emergency aid. only got the only thing that you did was to deny the vaccine at the right moments and allow more than 300000 people to die needlessly in this country. are one. do you pay for that? all right. teresa both in rio de janeiro forest teresa yesterday last debate before the vote. where does it leave the race well, this is the most polarized collection. since this come to return to the war chrissy back in the 980. so there's lots of expectation about what's going to happen here.
7:17 pm
the latest polls show that there's a 5 boy difference between both candidates with a former precedent leather fever taking the lead. but however, this is not an outright victory for lola mostly because polls were right or wrong during the 1st round. so anything could happen this sunday in this coming sunday on friday, both candidates faced each other on the final debate. both of them trying to swing undecided voters again, we heard precedent. j edwards fernando, called lula an inmate because he was in prison a lie year and a traitor. on the other hand, ladder, silva, accused of precedents. i even fernando on the, into hundreds of thousands of people that died in this country could do in the cove at 19 pandemic, a forgetting about this countries for about failing to raise the minimum weight. so there were lots of attacks between both candidates. what's, what's everyone's looking at is the tension that exists on the grounds. what will happen on election day and on those results?
7:18 pm
president edwards fernando has questioned repeatedly this country's electronic voting system. it has attacked the supreme court, the electoral attribute. now he had asked his followers then an election day to go out and morning for independently the polling stations and to denounce whether there's anything wrong on going. so suddenly there's lots of concerns about what could happen of the risks of political violence, many o j to was on at all. so followers do not acknowledge, you know, and i know also questioning the this countries voting system and they're following him. some of them are heavily armed to what is fernando, relaxed a gun laws in this country and legal weapons on the ground. there are lots of course. there's lots of concerns about what could happen on election now in a day. what's going to happen on election night, whether the president, if he loses, will lack of knowledge there results or will definitely will be keeping an eye as the results start coming in this sunday to re. so what are the issues that people are going to be voting on? well,
7:19 pm

7:20 pm
among other things continue to go strong. in fact, criminal organizations this they are having are in close contact with the italian mafia with mexican cartels, with colombian, drug traffickers. so their international organizations were also involved, for example, in environmental crimes, in the amazon's in illegal logging, illegal mining, among other things. so tackling this issues is a major concern for the candidates for many of their people in the ground. and we've been in this country slums in the fabiola talking to some of this gangs. and this is our report. western religion ito, in a slam. we're fight between gangs and the police happen almost every day. these men are part of the 3rd command, a drug trafficking group formed in the 1990s. in recent years, the members have expanded it area of influence to other countries. poodle, possible war we move in, paraguay in bolivia, areas close to the border and from there we go. the drugs,
