2:02 pm
a key root to get grain out to a hungry world. dependent on ukraine's crops, which are another victim of russia's invasion, the deal carries the potential to alleviate a global food crisis. the reported attack gives credence to cranes warnings that russia won't 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
2:03 pm
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 in located ukrainian ports due to the war. it was broken by the un and ducky, a diplomatic crime for president regis, die by dawn. i know we're going to sit in the hotel because we leave text agreed on of because we will work together to prevent the danger of hunger, but to wake up billions of people that are just all over the walls. and i shifted from africa to the middle east listener. i'm from america, asia, fuck gazelle, the just the needle member controls the streets leading to the black sea. darkish 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. let's get more now from
2:04 pm
d of your correspond. dorian jones has with us from istanbul. dorian, how does this reported attack on odessa port look to those who negotiated the deal? well, i've seen a great deal of concern, especially given the fact of this deal was only signed on friday. the ink is barely dry and what we now appears to be a very major violation of by the agreement. although under the terms of the agreement only the parts of the directly involved in the export to the great would be protected. now this, the also sold up that there will be, observe as in all of these poles to verify that it was being carried out fairly. but in fact, it happens less than a day off to be signed. those observers are not in place, nor has the been set up the joint coordination center here in the stan bowl, which was the representatives of russia, ukraine, the united nations and turkey, which will be better to apply and to verify the deal. i think what we'll see now is a real stepping up of,
2:05 pm
of getting ups of those observers in place setting up the center to make sure that such a possible violation agreement do not occur in the future. and i think also behind the scenes, turkey will likely be on the phone to russia to basically stress the importance of this deal is carried out by russia, given the fact the turkish president, jeff taper one, have put so much prestige on the line to make this treaty happen, you mentioned verification. what about punishment if violations do occur? does the deal have any measures in place for that? well, not really. i mean, the fact is possibly russia would basically be again, shut out of say, selling fertilizers. i mean, food stops around the world. there had been some easing of sanctions as part of this wider deal. but beyond that, there really isn't any enforcement against russia other than the fact that there will be these warning, such if they feel fails, given the stakes are so high, literally millions and millions of people around the well facing potential
2:06 pm
starvation and acute poverty. they will be growing cool for more robust action in the black sea to possibly enforce some sorts of sate cordele. and i think that also turkey stance will be undergoing pressure president. no one has made a big deal of base, have maintaining good relations while to me with ukraine, but also with russia. yes, face criticism over that if this deal should collapse and his prestige should be severely damaged, there will be renew pressure on toki to enforce western sanctions on much up. w correspondent, dorian jones, therefore us in s and both thanks very much. and from east and bull to key, we turn to d, w 's. net connelly who's there in the ukrainian capital. nick, is there any word from ukrainian officials about this reported attack? scuttling the grain deal? well, there was obviously a lot of skepticism here running into the signing that deal in turkey yesterday. obviously, the government,
2:07 pm
keen to show willingness to engage if it were to work of c. this would have lots of advantages for ukraine, ukraine's farmers who've been sitting on 2 years worth of crops now unable to get any ready cash to pay for next year's crop to pay for seeds and fertilizers. but all these doubts about whether russia would take advantage of access to odessa being reopened minds being taken away. those rules still, there is definitely a lot of people here saying i told you so the russians are just not to be trust. i think the basic dilemma here is that this deal was trying to create peace on the sea or in the black sea at the same to same time as war on land was carrying on. and the south of ukraine is a region that is seen intensifying, fighting overseas. you've had so not far away from odessa. so somehow the idea that would be possible to kind of uncouple these 2 things and allow for basically trust and some kind of working relations between russian, ukraine, you, authorities, are on the see that was a, was that it was gonna be a big ask and very difficult, and so people here in ukraine who never really believed this deal would go anywhere in a hurry,
2:08 pm
help us understand this port in odessa just how important is it to getting grain in other ukrainian exports out to the world. i mean, odessa and the ports just near it. those are ukraine's basically gateway to the world. that is where not only food, but also ukraine's other exports have historically all gone out through the easiest, cheapest way to get big volumes of grain, most of which comes from the south and center of ukraine. close those ports to people in countries like turkey, egypt, north africa, some of those countries dependent for up to 3 quarters or more of their grain on ukraine. and all these alternatives that you ukraine now has been forced to look for and getting it out by road, by barge on the danube river. that's all a lot more complex. lot more expensive, and it just isn't really capable of replacing those ports. we're talking about trucks with, you know, a capacity of tens of tons rather than hundreds of thousands of tons at we're talking about farmers in ukraine getting a lot less money for their grain even if they are able sell it because the transport is just costing. so much so there was never really a sense that there was an alternative, reopening the ports,
2:09 pm
but given you the bad blood between rushing cramp given rushes repeatedly, attacks on civilians in cities, hundreds come to the front lines just it didn't ever really feel very convincing. here in care of that this kind of kind of workable stable deal would be reached. obviously, ukraine's politicians are very aware of the kind of optics of this, of that the outside world is waiting for this grain that lots people who maybe aren't that interested in this war and the ins and outs of territorial losses by ukraine. they certainly are feeling the pinch from rising food prices, so the, the boxes is very clear to them. but i think for the, for now is, is more about being at the table being shown, to be willing to talk and job actual realism of this, the actual kind of effects and the ability to get grain out in that started for question nicoli their force and keep with the latest from that perspective, thanks very much. a steve bat. it says he'll appeal his guilty verdict. the former campaign strategist and advisor to former
