russian defense ministry released these images of miss i launches declaring the latest strikes a success. we're going to notice it. the armed forces of the russian federation continued strikes with long range, high precision air, and sea based weapons against the military command and energy systems of ukraine. the goals of the strikes were achieved or designated targets were hit. ukraine said its air defenses shut down 45 more than 50 cruise missiles launched. the front lines may be to the south and east, but this monday, another reminder that this entire nation is at war or force it out a 0 visual road north of kia. and the last few minutes russia has said that it's unacceptable for shipping to pass through a black sea corridor after its suspended participation in a turkish and un broken deal that had allowed ukraine to expose grain earlier. the un tacky a and ukraine agreed on a plan to move 12 outbound and for inbound ships. the turkish president has said
9:06 pm
his government is determined to keep the ukraine greenville in place. now, how much of an impact has that grain deal actually had? well, before russia's invasion, ukraine was one of the world's largest grain exporters, ukraine and russia. germany produce about 30 percent of the world's wheat exports, but one must go invaded and blockaded caves. black sea pools, those shipments came to a halt. in july, turkey and the un were able to broker a deal between moscow and cave. and since then, 461 grain ships have left ukraine or by october exports have nearly reached pre war levels. nearly half of ukraine's wheat exports through the black sea have gone to lower income countries. somali gets most of its wheat from ukraine while laos, egypt, d, r c. and then a go. also heavily dependent resource that has this update from it stumble
9:07 pm
while we are at the, at kill your district to off as thumb ball where the but actually missed both for us right behind me. you can see the 10s of ships wessel have anchored here. and many of them are carrying the ukrainian grain to the international market. so this is just a small portion of the west of anchored at, in a stumble in total. there are 97, a lot of wessel and a 15 in bond. westhills still waiting to be inspected by the joint coordination center in a stumble and according to the information that is coordination center, it has just why the 89 more have applied to be registered for the inspection. so today they did, the turkish and the united nations delegations have agreed to inspect $415.00 west sals ukraine, accepted that russia have agreed to wide remove the corporation or
9:08 pm
the un humanitarian chief. martin. griffith has been speaking about the importance of ukraine's grain exports. some of preston, the value of this quite extraordinary effort. they said it's not enough that the food is going to the wrong places. and that's the wrong type of food. not my words . when things go awry as read as now, we can see together how much good it can do and has been doing. we insist as we have all along that the exports from both of these global read baskets, ukraine and russia, of vital. we need an impeded exports from both a speak to want to put together to james space harris live out the united nations. you've been listening to martin griffith. what else does he have to say about this grain? do well,
9:09 pm
listen to martha griffin in the security council. the last few minutes the security council meeting has finished. and a group of reporters asked questions of martin griffith, and i've just run up the stairs one floor above the security council. i am now in our studio and some new information from us in griffith. he's made it quite clear that although russia has temporarily suspended its participation in the great deal, he believes the deal is still valid because he says they've not withdrawn. he said, i'm a lawyer by profession and i can tell you if they are not withdrawal and just suspended, then that means they are still parties to the deal and still bound by the deal. but it's interesting that that wasn't entirely what was said by the russian ambassador vaseline the benzo. when he spoke to the security council, he said they could no longer guarantee the safety of vessels that were on that route, that were part of the great deal. and he said his rush would no longer currently is
9:10 pm
. it's just as it's suspended, it's cooperation with the deal be part of inspections. he said, we'll have to take our own measures. what did he mean by that? well, he said there would be more details forth coming in the coming days and hours a difficult time, i think for the united nations. it is trying to struggle all the un and turkey saying that this deal can continue. but i think will be big question marks. and one of the most important question marks, given the fact that russia is not any more a party to this deal and is giving some rather vague comments about how it views the steel is. how will the insurers cope with all of this? what will they say? because obviously if the shipping companies can't get the insurance to continue their journeys to ukraine, to pick up the gray and then the not going to do so. if insurance costs become higher already, the uncertainty over all of this is cent. grain costs higher when the she go board
9:11 pm
of trade out going costs were up 6 percent. and the for the un, this is very worrying because that was the big success story of the great deal. it brought down global food prices, which of course made it easier for those who are most shorter food, those that are facing potentially famine or starvation to get supplies to them because the prices came down. it's a big problem for the you. and in fact, the un secretary general postponed his trip to the arab league to their summer, to now jeers. and he's here un headquarters working the phone's thank you for that matter. get it a james space there at the united nations. plenty more had on the new south, including south korea's president, joins mourners to honor those killed in a crush. and so on saturday we got the latest from the philippines where more than 100 people have died up to tropical storm. now gay hit on friday, and 4 wheel one will champion max. this happened one,
9:12 pm
the next things on pre and broke the record, the least win for the season. louisa nasty la da silva has pulled off a political come back and brazil he's won a tightly contested presidential run off election against the far right incumbent variable, sierra. ah you the one which is over 50.9 percent of the vote. that is just one percent difference ahead of his rival. it is the tightest election in almost 40 years. and the 1st time a sitting president has not been re elected. with the most essential task is to ensure that every child, every woman, every man can hop breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. we're going to bring back the ministry of culture. we're going to create a public commission so that culture can become something that everyone has access
9:13 pm
to. so that culture can become an industry that produces jobs. those who are afraid of culture, of those who don't like the people who don't like freedom. we can speak to a latin american ada salisia newman, who is live for us in sao paulo. clearly it was a night of huge celebrations. the question is, what has lula been up to today? it certainly was that finally did appear. he was, he had a nice morning, shall we say, he has been very busy, though receiving phone calls and messages from leaders from all around the world, including us president joe biden, who called the election fair and the give him it. that was an important sign of support for lula given the fact that many of both scenarios supporters have or i have insinuated that it was a fraudulent selection. and that's something that's another subject altogether. but
9:14 pm
luna has just met with the president of argentina who arrived a short while ago here in brazil. and in the city of south paolo, it's also very significant. not only because argentina is the 2nd largest country in latin america, but also because of the fact that he is the city leader of the se, lack that is the latin american and caribbean organization that was founded by lula when he was 1st president as well as the form of his whale and president will job is to try to create a kind of a latin american european union. a very, very important effort to do bring about unity and collaboration and cooperation in this region was so narrow. the current president pulled brazil out of that agreement. so this is a find that lula is taken very seriously, his promise to put brazil back on the international map, starting with the region itself. and they should be announcing in a few hours, there are the agreement to or rather the intention of putting brazil back to the leadership role or lack apart from that, he's trying to put together
9:15 pm
a cabinet. we don't have too much information or any information actually as to who is going to name as the finance minister. that is extremely important. the, the, i'm sorry, the, the markets have been reacting rather nervously to the la victory. the stock exchange here was down, but they want to know who will be in charge of the economy, which as always, makes a huge difference in the way that the markets do react. and this is as you know, the largest economy in latin america. so it's no small matter. no indeed lithia have we heard from jerry bold, norah, because he has an officially conceded defeat. has he no, he has an art. we haven't heard a word or a people out of him or from anyone really. and his government is kept completely quiet, which is very worrisome, but some of his supporters have been out on the streets, blocking highways in some places or calling for military intervention. in fact,
9:16 pm
they are very, very upset. as you probably remember throughout the campaigns, i've also, nato had said outright that he believed that there would be a written election if he didn't win. and the fact this has been such a close election, the difference between both candidates was so small, makes it difficult. it doesn't leave room for balls so now to to question perhaps the magenta missy of the election even though there are no grounds of there's no proof that there was any hanky panky whatsoever, but it had there been a bigger difference it would have been more difficult for him to remain quiet for this long. however, significantly the president of the senate and the congress here in brazil have both congratulated lula. so we're all waiting to see what he is going to say. but, but it does certainly maintain the tension in this country. or latin american at a certainly see and even speaking to a lie from sound power. thank you. police in india have arrested 9

to overloading, but that he got no u. as the new day dawned, the extent of the disaster became clear. the 230 meter bridge now, just twisted cables hanging across the river, rescue efforts continued. but this was the search for bodies, not survivors and questions about why a bridge that had been closed for renovations for 6 months, and only reopened last week was clearly not safe. your agency, your breed, got comes on while did a case has been filed on the agency, which was overlooking the building and maintenance of the bridge under section 3. 043. 08. and 114 of the code of criminal procedure. local hospitals are treating survivors, but the death toll is rising to in what is one of india's worst accidents of the past decade and painful memories. even for those who managed to escape. when he wanted to maybe go lucky at 840 my 2 young daughters, wife,

9:21 pm
people had to wear masks, and everyone wore a mask. and when people were allowed to gather again for things like k, pop concepts, offer protest rallies and marches, then it's all very well organized, very well policed and very well marshalled. so lots of questions being asked about how this was allowed to happen. we know from president unit, so y'all who has been down to this altar, that things will be different in the future that all that the of the staging the crowd control measures the big events in the future will be, will be looked at very strongly indeed. but it, as many people here will tell you, it has sadly taken this tragedy for that to happen. the okey pod westbank has seen its most violent years since 2005 had a simian fe, israel's use of excessive force against them. as a way of gaining votes in the upcoming elections is abraham has been talking to victims of israeli violence. the family and friends of palestinian vessel boost put

9:31 pm
given support to left leading governments with in south america both and are of course, have strong links to trump, brazil, also a member of bricks trading nations in light of all this how. how can we expect the international community to be feeling about a little presidency? hello, thank you for having me. yes, i'm lula wan yesterday in brazil. and what was some very, very vivid democratic day for the country. i think that we were able to see democracy really working and in terms offering policy, this was definitely for him. policy wasn't really dave topic of conversation, doing dear life dro campaign. but this is definitely something that if history can tell us anything, and that will though will probably look a little bit more into its regional partners as well as in south south corporation . i think that based on what we saw of all of the international leaders that have already came out and congratulating hulu for his when we have of support,
9:32 pm
they're reading fernandez from argentina is actually there in brazil right now. i'm to speak to line and present binding head though, so congratulated him in his wing. so i think we're going to have that, you know, in a way, the international community showing its willingness to work with the new lead ministry should you mention lead as congratulating him to notable once all president zalinski of ukraine and president putin, of russia. they're both congratulated luda on his election when i mean a, he's in an interesting position, isn't he? he's going to have to choose sides and make clear what his position is when it comes to a lot of things. for example, the one ukraine. how tricky is that going to be though, in terms of negotiations through diplomatic means? do i think that in a way, i don't know how much the, the brazil stains on the russian war on ukraine. you actually change with the old administration. i think that will, that will have a lot of priorities in a lot of political well to actually be having to work internally. and domestically,
9:33 pm
1st before having to change something as such, a big things on an internationally shift. so i think that this is one area particular that we may actually not see that huge of a change in terms of on who was priorities floor in terms of policy for one of his priorities does seem to be the environment. he's made a lot of promises about the environment. will that stance bring him closer to the united states that that is the expectation in a way i'm climate is a priority for dividing administration in honest their priority for a new role right now. i think that what we can expect from to lead ministration and we need to see who the minister of environment might be. but i do think that we will be able to see i stronger things on the environmental freinds. i'm more ambitious climate goals and in a way, in a aligning more, more closely with the united states in the fight in administration, in that direction and leading the world out towards more ambitious climate goals.
9:34 pm
obviously this is also something out that we need to take into consideration the fact that a congressional composition in brazil is that little bit more towards the right. so this book, those challenges to lead domestically. and we also have a, you know, mid term elections here in the united states in november. so we'll have to see how, how that plays out. and what do you think his relationship with countries like china will be? i mean, obviously it economics is a priority domestically, but his relationship with china could also influence thoughts. there's already been trade and investment with the previous government. will that continue as it has i think in a way to lead ministration. if again, if history had showed us anything based on his previous treatment in office, it will, it has had a tendency of focusing more on the south south corporation and also prioritizing some of the multilateral aspects offered those foreign policy relations. so in that, thank you have the freaks,
9:35 pm
for example with brazil. ang china are part of you have the, you know, you, when you have the indeed the w t. o and other organizations, the g 20. that other been additional and look out or organizations that they are both, both countries will be able to be working more closely together. however, i don't think in the same way that president wilson either hasn't really done that during the, during his term. it's important for brazil as china is brazil mean trading partner to continue to have a diplomatic relation in friendly relations with, with china. that in a way, both both a matter or lou anne lang. this thanks and lula as he takes office in january 2023 to prioritize u. s. n. brazil ng in china relations with brazil, especially on the training investment front. valentina santa associates, director of the atlantic council, really get to speak to you. thank you so much. more than $100.00 people all
