11:11 am
as francis seeks to give women more influence within the catholic church government, a tokyo court has ordered 4 former managers of tapco, the company that operated the fukushima nuclear power plant to pay the equivalent of $94000000000.00 us dollars in damages. shareholders had sued them for not implementing safety measures. they say could have prevented the 2011 disaster. after months of global grain shortages negotiators and turkey say that they have reached a deal to resume grain exports from ukraine. after hours of negotiations and assemble turkey's defense minister announced ukraine and russia had reached an agreement to allow grain shipments through the black sea. turkey and the united nations helped broker the deal expected to be signed next week. the deal would end a month, long impasse that has left more than $20000000.00 tons of much needed grain stuck in the ukrainian ports. unable to leave because of fighting in the country. un
11:12 am
secretary general antonio. good teddy said more work still needs to be done to finalize the deal, but held the breakthrough as a critical step forward in the world darkened by global prices to the it's lost. we have a ray of hope, a day of hope to ease human suffering and the leave your tongue got it on the walls of hope to support developing countries and the most vulnerable people. array of hope to bring good measure this much needed stability to the global food system. and d. w correspondent, nick connelly is following the story for us from kiev earlier. i asked him, what we should make of this breakthrough given ukraine's mistrust of russia. well exactly, that is the crucial issue that trust is not there. we've seen time time again, a deals to accurate civilians, other deals or between the sides to talking about a presence of war and of the kind of the bodies of casualties of war. all those
11:13 am
deals have fallen through time time again. so the question about whether ukraine rush can work together now. lots of question marks there. lots of doubts. i think this is definitely about the blame game. but both sides in this conflict know that this is an issue that has caught it edge people around the world that people are really feeling the impact of this conflict in their daily shopping in their, in their, their food bill. and so they're all trying to play game, they're all showing willingness to engage. but whether ukraine really is willing to take those minds away to basically make such like a desa and mc alive fundable to russian attacks from the sea to let those commercial grange ships through. i think there lots and lots of doubt still, whether that's actually going to happen. they're talking about some kind of coordination center in turkey that would manage shipping through the black sea. but the people here on the grounds, the analysts saying, even if there were that willingness to remove the minds that still could take months because those minds were laid in a hurry in the 1st few days and weeks of this war. so even, even if,
11:14 am
despite all the odds that kind of trust is somehow found, the realization might take a lot longer than lots people around the world hoping reminders with and say, care when it comes to grain shipment for ukraine. phillips, this is a huge industry. lots of farmers here are basically sitting on huge harvest at the world, desperately needs, but they can't get them out. can't get paid for them and, and moving forward. the next few harvest, without that ready cash coming in, how they're going to pay their wages, how they're going to pay for fuel and fertilizer. but it was about the bigger point of ukraine's access to the world oceans. other industries like metals, they're being able to get their exports out. the land borders are just a lot more expensive in terms of the logistics, they're further away the less well organized. so that's a big a big fee credit. but actually, i think in all this, in terms the food, this is more a problem for the outside world than for ukraine. because paradoxically, as long as those ports they closed food is actually gonna get cheaper here in
11:15 am
ukraine for ukrainian customers. it's the people in place like lebanon mauritania, often very far away, who are going to be dependent on ukraine, not only for grain, but also for vegetable real basics that are just exploding in price right now. okay, so, so many knock on effects for the global community, t w's nick connelly for us there in the ukrainian capital, kia, thank you so much. you have to date now and dw news of next day, as a documentary about german political prisoners in turkey. do stay with us if you can for that in the meantime, to host more on the web site t w dot com. i'm c r kelly and berlin. thanks for watching interest. the global economy our portfolio d w. business beyond. here's a closer look at the project.
