9:02 pm
i'm nicole really. it's good to have you with us. a deal has been signed to allow the resumption of grain shipment from ukrainian ports on the black sea following months of russian blockades. representatives from both sides attended the signing ceremony, and it's dumble along with turkish president richard type erred one and un secretary general until new terrorist. so that reopening the ports and allowing grain to leave ukraine will help ease global food prices, which have spiked in recent months. at the signing ceremony, mister good terrorist stress, the deal significance, calling it an agreement for the world. it will bring relief for the doping countries on the edge of bankruptcy and the most vulnerable people on the edge of famine and tulips fabulous global food prices, which would already record levels even before the war and through nightmare for
9:03 pm
developing countries. nobody correspondent or in jones isn't assemble. falling all of this for us. dorian, huge relief around the world about the steel. can you tell us more about the details? absolutely. we're talking about on the feel, the releasing potentially 20000000 tons of ukrainian grain as being trapped in black sea port because of the russian invasion of ukraine. this comes to the time with well soaring food prices. and part of that store in prices is blamed on the shortage of grain from ukraine. one of the bread baskets of the world. and according to us to show briefing repulses ahead of finding, for many you said over a 100000000 people have been plunged into poverty and acute poverty. because right in practice because we craning deal, i hope that this p a will starts with the process of starting to fall and of a potential global ferment. but a trust has been a huge issue in these talks,
9:04 pm
has net absolutely, i mean this is really many ways the key parts of this, sheila and the problem white take took so long month to month to negotiation by the u. n. and turkey. to bring this field to parisian, at the key point of trust them, ukraine inside is that it's fear that if they opened up their, their pulls to these, the ships into the world market. russia would seek advantage. now, under the deal, russia has placed the table could tell all operations around the black sea pulls and also will not target the ukrainian polls. exporting the grain, while on russia side of the under the steel all ships that are heading to ukraine to take grain onto a well market will be search under and a deal that we'll see the creation of a joint chord nation center here based on this sample which will be soft, ukrainian, or russian, turkish and un official, a deal was signed and it's down goal. what was turkey's role and all of this?
9:05 pm
well, in many ways, turkey had paid a pivotal role and in fact the united nations secretary general and tony cred, parents, whoa, was quick to praise turkeys both saying that this theo could not have happened without turkey support. turkey has been at the forefront of working could bring the all the policies together during the months of un effort. they've been hosting full way to here it's time bull. and in many ways, turkey will argue that this is a vindication of turkey's president jeff pipe stones of many painting good relations. books with ukraine in leadership, also controversial russia as well. while turkey has been supposed to ukraine, we providing on the killer drug turkey has refused stepfather to impose any of the western sanctions against russia. that has drawn a lot of criticism in the past, but to keep insisted that he cannot be seen to sanction. marcia, if he's going to play to facilitate him, possibly mediating roll, the steel to day will be seen as of indication on the one stance that basically his position was right. for keeping going forward, it will be steal,
9:06 pm
walk dorian jones and assemble thanks a lot. and this deal has huge global repercussions with ukraine being as dorian already said, one of the world's main bread baskets and about that i want to talk now with caitlin. well, she's the director of the global food security program at the center for strategic and international studies. the think tank based in washington dc. miss. well, so welcome to the w. can we start with your reaction to the news of this deal? certainly i think that this is very positive news coming out of turkey today is the very important 1st and foremost for the export of greens that we're stuck in ukraine from last year's harvest, which is between 16 and 20000000 metric tons of grains, which we expect to be able to be export it over the next 3 or 4 months, which will be able to address the important needs of, of net food importing countries in the, in the region. there was a lot of back and forth in the lead up to this would you think made the agreement possible now and that's a great question. probably
9:07 pm
a combination of factors. i think that, um, that number one rising awareness of the implications of restrictions on exports from the black sea implications being increased food insecurity around the world. and particularly in countries that rely on imports from the black sea being countries in asia, north africa, middle east, and, and, and across a east africa and the rest of africa. i think awareness of the implications for food security there. and, and a 1st and foremost, that's the reason there are already reports. now our is after this deal was signed of we price is falling as a result of the agreement. this tendency holds is the food emergency averted for now. i expect prices to continue to follow global food prices did spike in february of this year. and then again in march of this year, we reach to historic highs. after that,
9:08 pm
food prices started to level off and they've been, they've been falling incrementally since then. at the same time, global serial prices remain about 50 percent higher than where they were about this time last year. so it's your prices are still incredibly elevated, despite the facts that despite the fact that overall prices are starting to level of a level off, i do expect that cyril prices will start to, to fall even more as a result of this deal. i do note though that this deal has a time frame of $180.00 days, and i think that the extent to which prices will likely fall depends on whether or not this deal is extended beyond these initial 10120 days. where is ukrainian grain most urgently needed? the countries that rely on ukraine and on russia on the black sea for their imports are countries that are generally in the geographic vicinity. so those are countries, again, in asia, middle east, north africa, and across africa. countries that are heavily relied on imports and consumer
9:09 pm
a large amount of wheat or countries that are most in need of ukraine's grain, particularly the horn of africa right now that has experienced a repeated droughts and where food insecurity levels are extremely high on their high levels. of acute food insecurity and many people in the brink of famine, also in other countries such as yemen relies incredibly is very rely on the black sea for their import. so country like yemen, as well as countries like this, might expect us to, to experience some relief because of this deal. do you trust russia to stick to their commitments under the deal? i think that time will tell we have seen russia make certain commitments through the length of this war thus far. i think a difference could be that this is a, a deal that was brokered by multiple parties that would signed today by russia and ukraine. of course, with the you and in turkey also being being part of these negotiations. i think
9:10 pm
that the, the very specific nature of stipulations under this agreement, i give hope that russia might follow through a more more so than we saw with other commitments. it's made through the length of the war. all right, there is cause for hope, says caitlin welsh of the center for strategic and international studies. thank you so much. thank you for having me. now look at some other stories making headlines around the world today. sir lanka has sworn in a new prime minister and cabinet a day after a new president took office and as the country struggles to cope with a devastating economic and political crisis earlier riot police faced accusations of using excessive force to remove demonstrators from a protest site near government buildings japan as witnessing, growing opposition to plants to hold a state funeral for a former prime minister. sions. obey who was assassinated this month. critics have

take a space walk. she was joined by russian cosmonaut ali our, tim, you have to work on a new robotic arm at the international space station. the i s s is one of the last areas of co operation between russia and the west. since moscow invaded ukraine a u. s. court has convicted donald trump's former aid. steve bannon of contempt for defying a subpoena from the congressional committee investigating the january 6 insurrection at the u. s. capital. on thursday. that same committee accused trump of gross dereliction of duty for refusing to call off a mob of his supporters as they stormed the capital building. investigators heard testimony from top white white house aides, who described trumps inaction for nearly 3 hours during the assault. the hearings have included a mix of life testimony, pre recorded depositions, and never before seen footage,
9:13 pm
including these outtakes. that's whenever editor of donald trump rehearsing his video address to the nation a day after the attack on the capital. but this election is now congress has certified the results. i don't want to say the elections or register mercy. his daughter, yvonne can trump can be heard off camera coaching her father. now congress to get congress. the committee documented how the former president was not only aware of the attack on the capital. he watched the violence unfold on television in a small dining room off the oval office, rebuffing please, by aids, politicians, and members of his own family to tell the mob to stand down. for 3 hours, he refused to call off the attack, and donald trump refused to take the urgent advice he received that there. not from his political opponents or from the liberal media, but from his own family. his own friends, his own staff,
9:14 pm
and his own advisors. in the midst of an attack, when there was no time for politics, the people closest, the trump told him, the truth. it was his supporters attack in the capital, and he alone could get through to them. kim zinger, one of only 2 republicans on the committee, says instead, trump chose not to act violating his oath of office and placing lives in danger. 5 people died as a result of the attack. some 140 police officers were injured and to date more than 850 people have been arrested in connection with the riot. it came on the heels of his speech by trump, to supporters in which he falsely claimed the election had been stolen and that vice president mike pence could overturn the results. during the hearings, one white house security official described how secret service agents protecting pens that day called love once to say good bye. as the mob broken side
9:15 pm
with a large we on the sy, several members of the capitol, police force have been in the audience during the hearings, which will resume in september and at the white house on the morning of jack. william banks is a professor of constitutional law at syracuse university and he told us about the legal charges. donald trump might face as a result of these hearings. i think the most likely charge the one that's most straightforward and perhaps one that's easiest to prove is that he obstructed a congressional proceeding. we can see even from, from the video evidence, not to mention the customer name that indeed he did lease, participate in a conspiracy to force congress not to go forward with the certification of the vote on january the 6th and vice president intent not to whose constitutional obligation
9:16 pm
and statutory obligation to certify those electors. indeed, we might not have the certification completed on that day. that's a federal crime. and it seems to me the elements of the crime are fairly easy to prove. the tricky thing in our system in the us is that we must also prove that the president, if it's to be done, that the former president intended to break the law that he wasn't merely exercising his. his 1st amendment rights as political beliefs is strongly held feelings that the election was stolen from him, but that he knew there was a law about obstructing congress. and he intended to break the rain forest of the congo river basin in central africa as the worlds 2nd largest. after the amazon, it absorbs around 4 percent of global carbon emissions. scientists say it's conservation is key in the fight against global heating. but before
9:17 pm
a station is threatening of survival, the situation is especially bad and the democratic republic of congo were most of the losses are caused by small scale agriculture and charcoal production. now an e u funded project is offering a solution met on day a crowded neighbourhood in kinshasa, the capital of d r. c. she she bab, we're friends, one of the cities, many st. restaurants. she depends on charcoal made from wood to prepare food and he water. she says she doesn't have a choice. bubba on one michael michael is an all you see charcoal is really good more because electricity isn't stable with it. and if there isn't any electricity at all, how can you cook? nearly 9 out of 10 people in d, r. c. rely on which are call or firewood as their main fuel supply. kinshasa is one of africa's biggest cities. people here burned 3 more than $2000000.00 tons of
9:18 pm
charcoal each year. the ecological price of using so much cycle is enormous. this forest, just outside of kinshasa, is part to the congo base in rain forest, who is the 2nd largest rain forest in the world. but trees here are been felled indiscriminately to feed the lucrative charco market. this is one potential, tentative to the mostly illegal felling. several farming communities here are planting fast, growing acacia trees on the plateau. but i k. a vast savannah that sauce just east of contresa. benjamin mckenzie is a deputy coordinator events, the project which is funded by the european union. the idea behind the project is to create a sustainable supply of wood to turn into charcoal suki, develop ludwig people, practicing agro forestry are doing it in
9:19 pm
a sustainable way. de la, they themselves, plant the trees, operate their farms, and then cut the trees to create charcoal with their own trees. so if you see that's a full cycle, you love a plant. they exploit, they replanting. cleanser is one of the 260 farmers. now operating and acacia plantation as part of the project. once they cater trees become mature after around 8 years, they are cut down the felt cases are covered over and then slowly bent to produce charcoal. then in place of the acacia corn, n, cassava a planted and harvested when the soil is infertile. enough for the food crops acacia is planted again. the non native trees help replenish the soil with nitrogen and the cycle of crop rotation begins again. the acacia plantations are a way of providing farmers with a source of income and preserving the to forest,
9:20 pm
says kenzie seller. so he shows robbery of boulevard. the solution is, is if you leave the forest ecosystem in pcd del portia, we shall create these kinds of projects across the whole country law. and we will have solve the problem of deforestation. if been a problem, the deforestation, producing green or charcoal has it challenges. then see or project needed millions of years and start of funding and loads of scientific knowledge plus in a neighboring project. not all of the farmers wait 8 years for the trees to mature and sometimes cut the trees down earlier. back in can chatter the market for charcoal is expected to keep booming as a city rapidly expands, but charcoal from primary forest isn't as bad as the rime. it is also bad for people to go. smoke from charco fires can cause serious illnesses like lung cancer
9:21 pm
and heart disease. that means in the longer term to protected citizens. and as far as the r congo needs to invest in alternatives like hydro electricity, or gas. and for more, we can now speak to luther and a core of the international union for the conservation of nature. he joins us from the rwandan capital kigali, where his organization is currently hosting a congress on africa protected area. as welcome to the w good to have you with us. this is the 1st time your organization is hosting this kind of event. why is pan african collaboration so important when it comes to conservation? thank you very much and this is a very central issue for the heart of africa, utah, africa hosts, a lot of partners didn't cross. i do. yes. and actually a number of people be living alongside a wide license for serious. it's really about the people of africa about the nature,
9:22 pm
africa, and so these are my c interact systems that need to be well managed. and that need to be connected with sustainable development, which are currently the biggest drivers of loss of biodiversity on the african continent. as you know that many drive us up because the ammunition and so we do have population growth and this puts pressure on a number of things. we have a great cultural expansion of these. a lot of extension. it's extensive our group culture. and so she's the, one of the big drive us, we also do have infrastructure development. africa is currently active, is, did you age is have it under to my c development. so we have a lot of developments happening around and so, so especially roger infrastructure, read ways and so all of these lead to might of us loss. and of course,
9:23 pm
including luncheon use, these menus change, sorry, is that there's a lot of change in terms of use. we have an issue and i know the critic pressure for right of us to loss. so what other practical actions you're proposing to save africa's protected areas? when possible, a number of things. i think one of them is that we do need death leadership. and that this is part of the reason why this congress is organized that we able to mobilize the political goodwill and also the same voice and the same understanding about the variety of participate areas. the 2nd thing that we also need to do is to create a platform for voice because as you know, a number of people are affected by the sound to put people right at the center of the voices that are gonna be tied in the us for example, do you nasty plus voices? we also do have youth. we have women and all of this must be back on this composition. and then finally, there's that one issue of vibration. basically understanding the true value that it
9:24 pm
has to provide, especially literally the core system services, water, fresh air, but also the, the real economic provided to g. it's contribution to g d p. and then we also look at other solutions. for example, luckily the so long term financing and also tackling the issues of climate change, what role to local communities play in a sustainable conservation efforts. but they're key and they they have a key because as you know, people have always lived a local committee of what is the wrong side, white life. and they have beaten on us having traditional knowledge that been great custodian, so of nature. and so they do this, most of these are inhibited lands that you do find this was it? yes. so they do have a baby growing in terms of conservation. thank you. letter unaware of the
9:25 pm
international union for the conservation of nature. thank you. as it may offer, house is one of australia's most famous landmarks, a unesco world heritage site, and one of the world's most iconic buildings. but looks just aren't everything for decades, musicians and music critics have complained about the buildings, poor acoustics. now the concert hall has reopened. with a whole new sound its roof has been compared to sales or even shark fin. the sydney opera house is unique design, attract visitors from around the world. but for musicians like concert master andrew have run the acoustics have been well frustrating. we were basically shouting for the last 40 years, all too often the experiences fall in short of expectations and unmet expectations . really not something that we want at the offer. half. construction on the sydney opera house was completed in 1973 a decade,
9:26 pm
a late and tens of millions over budget. the final result was easy on the eyes, but hard on the ears. now a team of german sound engineers have changed that dozens of acoustic reflectors and diffusion panels and a stage. it's now 40 centimeters lower, are just a few of the new elements. and we've now got a concert hall that will rival any concert hall in the world. this is one of the best acoustic concert holes in the entire world. politicians once bolt at the cost of building the sydney opera house, now they've pumped in another $150000000.00 australian dollars to help make this landmark venue reach its full potential. and a quick reminder of the top stories we're following for you. moscow and keith have signed a deal to resume grain shipments out of ukraine, ending a russian blockade of black seaports. un secretary general antonio would terrorist held it as a beacon of hope for the world that will ease an international food crisis. and he
9:27 pm
was lawmakers investigating the assault on the capital on january 6th, a former president, donald trump, should be held accountable for gross dereliction of duty for refusing to condemn or stop the violence carried out by his supporters. that's all for me, for now. searching for eco africa that is up after just a short break of really shall be back at the top of the hour with more for me and the entire team here and relent. so much for a company with ah, with ah,

go, mike speaking, how can this passionate hatred of a people be explained? a gold top gold. a history of anti semitism is a history of stigmatization and exclusion of religious and political power struggles. it's a history of slender, of hatred and violence, or even 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards jews is still pervasive. oh, a history that he semitism this week on d. w. o o o, o i own this, shall we often meet people with violent ideas about hope.
