oh recognizes where exactly with learned a lot, our culture history, all their d. w. travel extremely worth a visit. ah ah. ah, this is dw news, why we're from berlin. the united nations calls it a beacon of hope, russia and ukraine sign a deal to resume grain shipments out of ukraine on that could ease a global food of crisis. but you premium present voting. there's a lens, he says he doesn't trust rushes, promises also coming up on the show,

a us court convicts steve van and of contempt of congress. donald trump's former aid refused to testify in front of law makers investigating last year's assault on the us capital. aah! hello, i'm clare richardson. thank so much for joining us. ukraine and russia have signed a un broker deal to restart grain exports out of ukraine. for months, russia has blockaded ports on the black sea, vital for shipping, ukrainian grain to the rest of the world. the agreement will help alleviate a global food. a crisis triggered by russia's invasion. the ukraine says it doesn't believe russia will keep its promises. a landmark deal 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. these is an agreement for the wills. it will bring relief for developing countries on the edge of bankruptcy and the most abominable people on the edge of famine and to love stabilize global food prices, which would already at record levels even before the war. a total nightmare for developing countries. green and russia are 2 of the woods biggest green producers. the deal will release more than 20000000 tons of wheat and other green that remain trapped and located ukrainian ports of you to the wharf. it was broken by the un and doki, a diplomatic crime for president reggie di bedouin organ said and done with overcoat with the text agreed on of the cut that we will work together to prevent

the danger of hunger, but to waste billions of people. her all over the walls and as the kid from africa to the middle east listener, i'm from america, asia focus all the just the needle member controls the streets leading to the black sea. darkish and un officials will believe 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. indeed, some observers have questioned whether they shipments will actually make it out of ukraine. or course when a dorian jones is in istanbul, where the deal was signed, and he says moscow will be scrutinized to make sure it's holding up. it's part of the deal. well, you're right, i mean that there is a great deal of distrust towards moscow given the sense of start this ukrainian conflict, it has been seen as lying and deceiving. so now this, the latest field will be a great deal of scrutiny all moscow,

whether it will fulfill its parts of the bargain. the key part will be that the commitment not to target to carry on hostilities around the 3 ukrainian black c port. and also the port facilities where the grain is actually going to be exported from. but having said that, russia to benefit from this process has been a clarification of international sanctions, which will mean the russian fertilizer and some food stamps will be allowed to be export. and now that's very important for russia and its businesses. on top of that, russia also will be aware that these looming global fem in that is threatening the wealth with the us holding over a 100000000 people already being plunged into poverty or acute of the because of the soaring prices of the green conflict. it's impacting countries which are close allies of russia particular in africa. so moscow will be key not to be seen to be held responsible for the soaring, probably because having said that, there will be a great deal of scrutiny going forward. and the awareness of moscow could easily

slow down this process or even bring it to an end. so they will be a great deal of concern in the coming weeks ahead with a scale of faster crisis in mind if they're still home. how soon can we expect green shipments to be restored? will take us president jeff taper one at the signing ceremony said that it could be you in a matter of days and all that has been posted by pina. you and officially part of the we've been involved in this the pro program program. and he said that yes, it is possible that we could see a few ship saw think in possibly by next week on top of that. so i think they expect expectation, but this will be a full swing exporting in the region of $5000000.00 come a month. that will not be happening until at least another few weeks. because this is a very complex process. you have to have ukranian pilots will have to great the safe channels through these heavily mine bowl to set up protected ukrainian ports. then they will be the so called safe car. those across the black sea that will be

established and this will all take time. but as we speak, there is a joint coordination center that's the set up as part of this tracy example. everyone is aware that this is a race against time. because at the moment ukrainian, the silos are filled to overflowing with grain from the previous last year's harvest. and the awareness is that there was a new harb is coming in the matter a week, and the side has to be case out them to be safely. so that is a race against time, as well as to start to reduce hopefully global food. and turkey is clearly played a major role as a mediator in striking this deal. what is in it for them? well, turkey base has played a really pivotal role in the un secretary general. antonio terrace was praising president wine and toby's role. and athena unit, un officials have echoed this, saying that this deal was not possible without 13 key people to roll. now,

many waste turkey is being very keen and $601.00, but it plays a central role in any efforts to and the complex and the mediation efforts. it doesn't want of a major power entry into an air will consider this. and on top of this, this will be seen as of indication of one policy of a balanced approach on the one hand, supposed to ukraine, providing alms, particularly very effective drones against russia invasion, but also opposing the introduction to any sanctions against that cause a lot of prism criticism from turkeys western allies, but turkey's insisted it nice to have this balance approached the allow it to have this possibility of mediating or at least facilitating some kind of deal between russia and ukraine with the possible in the future of ending the conflict. now this great deal is seen as a strong support for load one starts, but the key factor going forward, the will, the field work and turkey will be working very hard to make sure this process works continue. it's supposed to be done in dealing with ukraine and russia to tell the

correspondent dorian jones for us, and it's tumble. thank you so much for that update. and an economy is reporting for us from the ukranian capital cave. i asked him what people there think of the grain agreement. ok, there's a lot of skepticism here. give about the mechanics. how this is going to work in practice or to the 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 c 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 up online. and with this particular war time stand off after him to come to an end. do you think that this agreement could pave the way for a new series of peace 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 russia's life

a whole lot harder to basically take away rushes advantage in terms of artillery, basically, power on the ground, assuming 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. 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 nearly 5 months and 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 that you craniums are worried about, the 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 ottoman 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 legal, ugly, 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 because their jobs have disappeared. so i think that economic front and ukraine's ability to keep on going is actually in the coming months, can be 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 of correspondence. nick connelly and keith, thank you. as always for your reporting, that's been here to see now it's a more stories making headlines around the world's tie. prime minister pry you'd, tanaka has survived a 4th no confidence votes in parliament. emotion came after 4 days of questioning life on television, where he and 10 ministers faced accusations of corruption and mismanagement. the former army chief has been in power since he led a coup in 2014 israeli police. say they've placed a couple under house arrest after a man attending a party. died after being sucked into a sink hole that formed at the bottom of their swimming pool. there suspected of causing death by negligence, as the pool was built without proper licensing. in brazil, residents are rear diginero, have rallied to protest against police violence. after at least 18 people were killed in a major police raid on the city's largest for vela complex. authorities said the re
