this is the pulpit to unleash on violet pass and re imagine these teachings for relevance to gandhi's legacy store to august 6th won't be w ah ah, this is dw news lie, we're from berlin. united nations calls it a beacon of hope. russia and ukraine sign a deal to resume grain shipments out of your brain. that could ease a global crisis, but ukrainian president would enters a lens. he says he doesn't. frost rushes promises. also coming up on the show. and

you, westport convicts. steve bannon of contempt of congress. donald trump's former aid, refused to testify, and frontal, blah makers investigating last year's assault on the u. s. capital aah. hello, i'm clare richardson. thanks so much for joining us. ukraine and russia have signed a u. n. broker deal to restart grain exports out of ukraine. for months, russia has blockaded ports on the black sea, vital for shipping ukrainian brain to the rest of the world. and the agreement will help alleviate a global food crisis triggered by russia's invasion. but ukraine says, it doesn't believe russia will keep its promises. a landmark bill against the backdrop of mutual mistrust. representatives from russia and ukraine, signed an agreement in the stumble,

refusing to sit down together at the same table and carefully avoiding shaking hands. the un secretary general said the deal offered a beacon of hope. this is an agreement for the wolves. it will bring relief for developing countries on the edge of bankruptcy and the most vulnerable people on the edge of famine. and to love stabilize global foot prices, which would already at record levels even before the war. a total nightmare for developing countries. green and russia are 2 of the world's biggest green producers . the deal will release more than 20000000 tons of wheat and other green that remain trapped in blockaded ukrainian ports due to the wharf. it was brought good by the un and doki. a diplomatic crime for president regis di bardon organ said in the hotel because with the text agreed on of the cut, we will work together to prevent the danger of hunger,

but to wake up billions of people. her just all over the walls and i shifted from africa to the middle east listener. i'm from america, asia focus on the just the needle member controls the streets leading to the black sea. turkish and un officials will police the shipments that much of the world is desperately waiting for but trust is a key factor underlying the deal. and that is a high level of skepticism on all sides of when we're on what all this means. i'm very pleased to welcome rebecca grins. fan secretary general of united nations conference on trade and development. joining me now from istanbul, thank you so much for taking the time. we prices have already fallen as a result of this deal if it holds. can you explain for us just how big of a problem it's going to be helping to solve? yes, thank you. claire, this is very important because according to our analysis,

they are 94 countries in the world that are severely exposed to one of the dimensions of this crisis. b high prices old high prices of energy or tightening financial conditions. 94 countries that represent 1600000000 people, all these countries will benefit draw decreasing prices in foot. now we have to make sure that these been, if you get to the most vulnerable people in the will and also to the farmers. we say is falling fertilizer a prices so they can really a saw for the next season for the next harvest and the stakes where they could not be higher. we're talking about the potential of famine. i'm of course. now the important thing is to get grain on to world markets and into stores. how long is that likely to take?

well, you know, a b b agreement that was signed yesterday. ha, p roop. spawn all $120.00 days. that is the time that we have to really take all the grain from o crane to the global market. we hope to start working immediately after disagreement. and are you optimistic that that will be possible within that time frame? you know, yes, i am optimistic because there is engagement at the highest level. i think that this is a very important point. the secretary general, when he proposed this plan, he went to the highest level of government people to put the the lensky he built again. 30 has played a very important role in this deal and i think that he puts in value also the unique role that you win. and the secretary general can play in

a situation like this. and we will have to concentrate in solving the problems that they will be problems and we will come to the break in folding them in. that's why we wouldn't have like join coordination center here in the stumble to really follow and try to take away all the hurdles that probably will arise with implementation and tell us more about turkeys part in brokering this deal on how significant has their role been. it was indispensable, a really turkey played a very, very constructive role. truly all the diplomatic means, but also through the involvement the military in striking the deal. it was very important that the military were involved because they are military issues that needed to be solved to secure. i don't really have a secure passage for the grains in the black sea. so it's hard to play in eric,

no gun himself, and the minister of foreign affairs, and the minister of defense played a very simple role in striking rebecca greenspan secretary general of i'm todd, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us on the news. thank you, chris. i'd like to get the reaction from ukraine to detail. his correspondence. nick connelly joins me from cave. nick now that the news of his crane deal has had time to spread and to sink in this morning. what are you craniums making of it? ok, this a lot of skepticism here and give about the mechanics. how this is going to work in practice or set a time where we've seen fighting actually increase between russian ukrainian force or land. the idea that suddenly piece essentially on the water on the black season to be possible, that is something that not many people can imagine for now how it's going to work. there's also a lot of fear that if the access to ports like a desa is opened,

if those see mines removed, that russia might take advantage of that and try and attack those cities. we've heard from russian foreign mr. lover of in recent days, that russia's war aims and not going to be limited to dumbass that essentially all of ukraine still as moscow sees it, a target. but obviously there's a lot of consciousness of the sequence for the wider world of this that this is about hunger in lots of countries who are very dependent on that ukrainian grain. and so there's a different sense that ukraine needs to make it clear that they're open to dialogue and open to try and resolve this problem. let's have a listen to what present landscape say next to your son visit the finally, there is a chance to reduce the severity of the food crisis that russia has provoked will buy. there is a chance to prevent a global catastrophe. hunger that could lead to political chaos in many countries of the world, almost as particularly in the countries that help us out but obviously, or so it's not just for the outside world. so, so for ukrainian farmers who you're a desperate to sell last year's crop as was, is his crop enormously struggling with cash flow and trying to pay wages and buy

new supplies for next at harvest. and thanks for that update. and with this particular war time stand off, appearing to come to an end. do you think that this agreement could pave the way for a new series of please talks between russia and ukraine? i think unfortunately, it's unlikely we saw in turkey the optics there. everything basically done to keep them apart, to avoid ukraine rush, having to talk to each other directly. everything happening kind of bilaterally with the turkish side there. and indeed, there is sense here in ukraine that western weapons are making a difference, are enabling ukraine to make rushes like a whole lot harder to basically take away rushes advantage in terms of artillery, basically power on the ground and seemingly that the russians to have at least are convinced that they have got used to the sanctions regime that they can hold out and carry on fighting. so no sense of a kind of desire to come back to the table and really change things there. but definitely, you know, both sides. that awareness of the optics and the impact on the wider world and

russia also very keen to show its its partners in african asia that it is open to resolving this. because there, this is of the problem that is crucial, that is really being felt by people who maybe don't have so much interest or kind of close it kind of following in this war that is there seen from any of the european war. but this is a news of the impact people's pockets around the world. this is all of course, coming in early 5 months in to ukrainians, defending against a powerful invading force. and are they staying defiant at this point? or are you seeing signs of growing war fatigue? i think the fear of fatigue is something ukrainians, worried about europeans and people in north america, the countries that have been supporting ukraine through this war. they're worried that as inflation creeps up as that energy crisis hits europe in the autumn of winter, that there's going to be pressure on ukraine's leaders to come to some kind of deal on rushes terms to visit the end this conflict. but i don't see any real

willingness here in ukrainian society to make compromises right now. russia's occupying 20 percent of ukraine's territory. no one is talking about, you know, legitimizing that legally allowing russia to incorporate those territories. but there is also the question of economics. can ukraine hold out people savings now in many cases are running out of to 5 multiple people struggling to find new jobs. people who have left the country unable to come back with their jobs disappeared. so i think that you cannot make front and ukraine's ability to keep on going is actually in the coming months, getting more of an issue than the military side. because they're found out there is no lack of ukraine's willing to sign up, willing to fight, but will they have the weapons? will they have the the finance to keep on? that's. that's going to be the central question. a correspondent, nick connelly and key. thank you. as always for reporting the tensions with russia have caused and gas prices across europe to spiral. now german chancellor all off shore has agreed to bail out the country's biggest gas importer and delicate balancing act for his government. trying to shield consumers from rising

prices or protecting gas companies from going bankrupt. gas prices are already at record highs in germany, whether from autumn, gas suppliers will be allowed to raise prices. yet again. chancellor shaw said the increase would be around $0.02 per kilowatt hour, which would mean an extra $2.00 to $300.00 euro's a year for an average family. but schoultz promise support, you will never walk along. the 2nd minds, m d. we will get through these tough times together, thus the most important thing that meets nobody will be left alone with their challenges and problem lesson to protect consumers from soaring energy prices. shouts nouns, heating subsidies for people on low incomes, a reform of the social welfare system, and legal protections for people who can't pay rent, lek, tricity or heating bills. they're started, i think. and last indeed, mistake will come to the aid of those hit hardest. but we will all have to live

with higher cost lesson. i've done. the simple fact yet is that we are all poorer because of the higher prices, unless the german government's bail out of uniform. the country's biggest gas in puerto also helps consumers. germany is taking a 30 percent stake in the company. rejection of more than 7000000000 euros. but is it enough since your feeder own because there are a lot of unknowns on so if we don't know how deliveries from gas problem will develop on gas pom. deductible common, there are too many factors for me to be able to say how long it will last on. july was 100. the government says it is determined to maintain stability in the energy sector. let's turn our attention now to some other stories, making headlines around the worlds in brazil. residents of rio de janeiro is the largest for vela, have rallied to protest against police violence after a rate that left at least 18 people dead. authorities said the rate a target at a criminal group. president, shire bulls, narrow congratulated police and condemned the killing of an officer.

demolition has begun in the czech republic of a pig farm built on the site of a nazi era concentration camp. after years of campaigning, members of the rome community have been given the green light to building museum in its place to honor the hundreds of roma who were murdered. there us now where steve abandoned the long time ally and 8 of former president donald trump has been convicted of contempt of congress. he could face up to 2 years in prison, bought has vowed to appeal to verdict, ban and was charged for refusing to testify before lawmakers investigating last year's insurrection at the u. s. capital, i stayed with paul and the constitute, and t w's. mechanical now has more on steve balance conviction from washington dc. that's not a huge surprise. and clearly he refused to even the honda of any documents. but you can't seem to get away with not cooperating in the face of

a house committee. but his lawyer already said that they will appeal, he says he has a bullet proof information that will prevent steve bowden from going to prison at could be up to 2 years. so this is still open once again, but a very clear indicator there that he can't simply wiggle out of this vehicle through there for us in d. c. that is your news update at this hour. our technology show shift is coming up next. think somebody was running with us, just go who uses with also great.
