is in particular, and i'm hoping that these steps will be taken soon, and we will do that in a joint manner. against the now we do have a good day. i have the questions to boost president, just to clarify the we're just talking about the cutoff taking part in the crane to you and is this like a replacement, my kidneys, for the grain do? and for mr. puting many sources now fort, or it's about the do laser stuck where things are in a rush and a talk. so what's your view on the situation in the mean with 3 so on because there was a rough shot is ready for some negotiations. and so that there is

a political negotiation resolution to the master him is regards to the grain. if we come back to them, more than the scope of them about stuff, you know, when the funds, you know, you are looking in to join to work these costs are and to addition, this is north of an alternative to lex, c, d, o, verizon. so ukraine, these, their interest, we understand that very well. so this is not a replacement, but they see so forth from it was our par is a huge contribution. it was always a huge contribution to resolve the food. the problem on the african continent is the problem. these regards is a delay full for the countries. so this is not the delay to see is the kiosk, because that's how it looks today to see what is happening after that. but the, the moment is clear. i would like you to say this,

russia never rejected negotiation and you know, i know to reject in a negotiation. president 3rd and found was raising best master us today during our meeting and i confirmed it to him as well. so it doesn't cut out. and then we'll talk to you and us, it is yes, especially in internet for poor is the least developed. the african countries might need to stick that in terms of the shipping grain and forms of flower, toyota, and to support that, you know, financially good reviews of the turkey, a co, tar, and russia. and as a try apartheid instructor can contribute. and with that, we hope that we will be standing by the least developed african countries. thank

you very much. good. that was russian present, letting me a person into key is lead to reach of type ed, one speaking. and so she off that i met, mainly the talks aimed at reviving at the deal to export ukrainian grain to the world of russia. pulled out of that to you in broken deal back in july, not putting describe the talks is constructive and productive. we're going to go now to tools to jabari, who is also in searching the put and describe those talks as constructive and say, russia would be ready to return to the black sea grain deal once all agreements relevant to the a quote off of phil, do we know what that actually entails. of the yes, we have heard from the russian president about what he's looking for. it. you said that there are a number of

a guarantees that he's looking for because certain parts of this agreement, this initiative have not been fulfilled when it comes to the western countries keeping up their end of the deal. that means as the, it basically mainly the russian fertilizers and green that this country is trying to sell to. the international community is not being able to make that happen as a result of sanctions on logistical issues around russian ships. so one of the main things versus looking for right now is the return of its agricultural bank to the swift international banking system, which has been sanctioned since july of last year. so that is one of the 1st things this country wants. and the 2nd is that they want to, that every point has said he wants to make sure that the grain that is passing through the black sea is going to the countries that need it, the most, not western countries that will benefit from this deal. and they also highlighted the fact that they've mentality that we have been hearing over and over again from

russian officials over the past few weeks after the russian president decided to leave the steel in july. and that is the belief that the west is basically tricking the russian officials into a disagreement. they're not opposing their end of the deal. and as a result of it, the russian president has decided to leave. and now, what we didn't get today from the turkish president are gone, was a concrete answer about whether or not they've reached an agreement. we heard the same thing from the russian president saying that as soon as the west of oppose this end of the deal under this un brokerage agreement, russia will return to this agreement in a day or 2. but until they see that happening, the situation will continue now serve as president, art of on said that they have put forth some ideas. but this not a new deal that's on the table. it's just other ways of around the issues that russia has with this deal at the moment to try and move forward to find

a solution. he said, because our government is also now involved. we understand in terms of certainly trying to facilitate the payments and the international banking system that russia's been kicked out of. so there's been some movement, but certainly not the concrete and larger official answer that everybody was hoping for. and that is that russia would return to the black sea green initiative. so for now, it's going to be seen as a positive step, that there's dialogue about what exactly russia's looking for and how turkey can help facilitate those needs. but in terms of reaching agreements, it seems that we still have a ways to go. yeah, clearly a number of issues for all parties to work through a put and also a supervisor is close to a deal on supplying food for free to ask for kevin supplies. could start in the next 2 to 3 weeks. do we have any more details around this? well, he said that this isn't the 1st time russia has done this. they said that is the

russian president said a 1000000 tons of grain will be given at a reduced cost to african countries most in need of the aim of that is to show basically rushes goodwill when it comes to this whole initiative and what effect it's had on the most vulnerable countries in africa, and this is a, i believe, the 2nd or 3rd time that russia is going to make this shipment available to those countries a need in africa. and that is an example of what russia is willing to do in order to make this deal really function the way the russia wants it to. okay, thank you so much dos that we really do appreciate it. that is to send you a battery for us in searching. we're going to go to wrestle, sorta, who is lot for us and assemble into as we who they everyone believes as a solution will be agreed soon. regarding at the great initiative, is that good enough? will he be happy? walking away from these talks with that?

i don't think so because the expectations the hopes were quite high, that present ad one will be able to convince prison and pretend that the russia can return to the deal that it pulls out on july 17 or this year. but this is not the case now. so prison, i was gonna say that that now tricky is going out. we're going with a new proposal to the united nations. so we do not know the details of these new proposal. how to initiate these greenville, more of the, but actually caught it there. but based on my calls with some of the officials earlier, they say they are trying on case, trying to convince, particularly, some of the western countries to left russia. at least, you know, the limits of ways to have an access to the suite system international payments system. and also the insurance companies to provide insurance for the russian ships

that are going to carry, rushing, green, and sort of the allies are still d as part of the speaking point. now, however, that will be a major step if that happens, because if that happens, that means russia is going to bridge the sections international thanks for that were imposed, particularly by the wes. so that's why now the hoops are quite low, however, present, add one and his team when the fluid they were floating, flying to to, to moscow. the hopes of expectations were quite high. so i don't think that prison out on that one of these going to come back to on could i as a happy president, however, she has tried a lot. so since july 17, when russia pulled out from the deal, have seen that several, that negations was to both capital zone cut out in moscow and trying to pay well wait for a solution. and just a couple of days ago, the ticket for the minister, how confident was their meeting? his russian cost, the 1st day of the level and the hopes were there, they would often mistake the message required more than optimistic i'm positive,

but today that didn't happen. so over the course of one and a half years through the both for us right behind me, we have seen that 50 roughly took the 3 medium tons of grain. the painting rooms have passed through the both photos and went through the international market. but since july on that was for us is definitely not busy with the ships carrying ukrainian grant. and it seems that it's still going to stay quite like this. and of course, one of the sticking points here has been old, is a criticism that was the, that was brought here of both by press you have the one i'm present treating was that the majority for the learning part of the green is going to the rich countries, so more than 70 percent of these green you've been ingrained went to the how you come companies for oper, middle income companies and only 3 percent of that. went to the pool companies. it has to be the criticism that to they also. yeah. see the book presents repeatedly for size, but as i said for now, so that the expectations are low to

a certain extent, that is, it's appointment shared because international market. it's not that there's a new turkey as well. people are quite optimistic that but it's not the will be able to convince the truth and how the russia is insisting that policy is demands or not, matt, it's not going to return to the deal. like i thank you so much for that. that is russell sort of for us in a sample. we're going to go through, but mcbride, who is lot for us and keep and put in amongst those talks about grind. also said the ukraine's count, that offensive has failed. i'm kind of mentioned that it's going down particularly well in case to yeah, be nice people he would say in ukraine to mean he would say that wouldn't say this has been adults repeated position from the crime that from the russians, especially as it's been 2 months since it's much volunteer to counselor offense offensive actually got underway. and i think there is

a sense of frustration here in ukraine that they were a really high expectations, especially in the west and from nato back because of the ukrainian position that, that we were gonna see. some lightning breakthrough given all of the training, given all of the west and equipment that has been sent to ukraine and that, that these expectations were on fad that they were going to live up to that now it gives room. busy the likes of light, it may attempting to stand up there and say well that you go with 2 months into this counter offensive and they have not had the kind of breaks or it is true that they haven't had that kind of breakthrough. but then just people here would argue they all make you slow progress and they are doing good with nato equipment with nato training. but unlike any other nato on me, without the kind of asked to pay a reality that i need nato falls, would expected when they launch a major ground defensive like this. they are doing it basically without the kind of ad kava the, to the, the us would have had or that i need to have the nato nation would have had

a so we don't going to see the kind of lightning successes. but there is a feeling here that in the past couple of weeks, especially they're off, they are making a gradual move. it's getting through the 1st line of defense, especially done of the software retail region on the southern front that now up against the 2nd and 3rd line of defense is of this very deep defensive positions built by the russians over many months. and this people, hey, will remind you that are still a couple of months left before the bad weather sets in before the ground. tons to makes it very difficult for heavy um to operate. lets see what the next few weeks and a couple of months will bring you the same day of the, of these talks. it was also strikes around odessa, just dallas before they began. that's truly not a coincidence, but a pretty clear message from russia to it does seem to be a timely reminder of just how vulnerable ukraine's great and exporting infrastructure is, especially around the alternative routes to the black sea ports. we know that that

is black sea grain deal has been defunct now for a couple of months, ukraine has been looking at other ways of exposing its grain, in particular down in the us, very south of the south odessa region through these river ports that feed into the danube river system, the web using those and land borders to get grain out. and the reality is that, yes, i think the ukraine would like to see a risk re establishing of this black sea grain deal. but in reality, they have over many months been looking and find the alternative routes to get that grain out that more expensive and more difficult, logistically, but they have been working and do it when we go out and stop to farm is here, but it's but it's the heights of the harvest season, you have many find was all over ukraine getting in that harvest, that we talk about, what concessions would you make, or should you make the to the west to be making to russia in terms of baby financial allowing get funds back into the banking system and so when they return for renewing the grand deal, they say look for you, we're in the middle of

a war here. we have found alternatives to get all grade out. this is the country that invited us, why are we giving them? and the thing gets hold, uh so there is of a push back here, we're resistance here to just as well where they want to see the resumption of the grand deals. what that might cost in terms of giving concessions to russia. like i thank you so much for that. that is rob mcbride for us in case we're to have the news now. and the general who laid the qu, and cup on last week has been sworn in is the self to play its transitional presidents. general bruce sleekly and quinn deposed the elected president and the phone go to in his family's 55 years in power. this is our major, the democratic mate kind is it more representative of t would no longer allow us to follow it. it has been important that the government has people from all levels of society to work on adopting a new constitution by referendum as well as a new electro colt and a new legal quote that is reliable and will guarantee equal chances for all

cabinets bring in nicholas hoc some more on this season, the senegalese capital of dot com. and nick, is this a break from the pos or, or something more of the side? well, it's a bit of both tom, it is much of the same in the sense that but he's and he in graham i is no other than the cousin of all the bung goes to some say view it as a bugger in a suit replaced by a bongo and uniform and even the ceremony itself that took place in the presidential palace as if he was elected by the people. but in fact, he orchestrated a crew where he pledged to the constitutional court holding not the constitution itself, but a charter of transition that no one knows the actual content of. so in the form it looks like it's very much, much of the same from the past. however, from what he said in his address, it feels like a break from the past. he said that the 1st steps that he will take is to work

towards a referendum to a new constitution. he announced that he, there would be an amnesty, of all those political prisoners, and those opponents to the bunker regime would be set free scholarships given out to though is that will be starting school in september and new elections, free and fair and transparent. remember, they were elections that took place on saturday before the coo of wednesday, but there was no timeframe given to when those those would take into effect. that was a election tom and nicole, what's been the reaction there to his swearing and as well. there was instantaneous people cheering joy, not only on the streets, because this is really a break from the 56 you a long, long ago did a see for some at least, but also inside the presidential palace start. i was there in 2017. when all the bunco was for and in and it was much more of an austere environment,

lot of silence a lot of pauses there. we saw people standing up applauding. he had a standing ovation at he, at the end of his speech, and he has been clear from the moment that he left this can with that his main objective is to bring back the dignity to the gap in these people. he did this extraordinary thing where he brought his his father, his family up on the stage to show that he comes from humble beginnings that he is the man of the people. he also said that he was quite support. 5 as by the international condemnation on this cool, you know, to be friends that former clean power that has condemned the crew that has the has severe ties, military ties with the get. but he is military. he said that as a soldier, his pledge was to protect the country and that's what he had to do to take over power. and then he quoted desmond church with that said, if you are neutral in the face of injustice, then you have chosen the side of the oppressor. tom, thank you so much for that. that is nicholas hawk for us in the car. for the still

if the, if the could actually and, sorry, and defense forces. allies of the united states, american diplomats are trying to progress these 5 and a warning of what they called the dangers of outside interference. so in a hold a has more, and they have a history of tense relations. now the curtis lead as the f and some our tribes are at war alliances and syria is north eastern province of their resort. are falling apart. tribal leaders want an end to what they described as discriminatory and repressive rule by the s the f. and the majority are a province, they don't show us, they really want it to do or to predict it is or to hold the people they don't show their to the intentions that we really wanted to share with alex. we're talking about to years 5 years ago and it's still the same sort of between us. i mean,

we do have event coast. there is or borders iraq. the s, the f controls, the eastern bank of the euphrates river, where many of the countries major oil fields are. it's also where the us military is based. it works with the s, the f to prevent the iso forces coming back. but their presence also prevents the expansion of russian troops and iranian back, militias based west of the you afraid these river, the americans have to listen to the, to the tribes have to listen to their demands. it's really important to end this question because the region in the russian and the radian, would it be the most, i mean a bodies to benefit from this fighting has spread outside the province as the positions are being targeted by syrian opposition. factions that we checked, the regional autonomy, the as the f, now controls around a quarter of syria,

the largest part that's outside government control. the whole structure of the sd, it is being challenged. uh, nothing at the precise your but i think the different areas. the only one who can like, let's say, uh, push the skin is the american coalition. if they intervene, the tribes say they are ready to work with the americans, but they want to be able to run their own affairs in the province many war. and that's without the settlement. the worst battles in the region in years will destabilize and possibly change them up in this corner of syria center for the l shows 0. or the colson. malaysia has drunk old corruption charges against the deputy prime minister. how much the heat, how many was on charles of 47 counts of bribery, money laundering, and criminal bridge of trust. here's a coalition partner of prime minister on what abraham, who has promised to fight corruption, foreign slurry,
