5:02 pm
also, pride is back in berlin. hundreds of thousands of people joined the party in the german capital for the annual christopher st. day parade. ah, and when will croft welcome to the program behead of the world health organization has declared the fast spreading monkey pox outbreak. a global health emergency cases have been detected more than 70 countries. the health agency hopes to the declaration of will draw more attention and resources to finding the disease. here's what the head of the w h o had to sick. so in charlotte, we have an outbreak that has spread around the world rapidly through new models of transmission about which we understand too little and which meets the criteria in the international health regulations. for all of these reasons,
5:03 pm
i have decided that the global monkey folks outbreak, lee presents a public health emergency of international concern. get more right now from chi cooper, smith, he's a science journals with the background of molecular bio medicine. so 1st of all, the significance of the world health organizations declaration tell us more about that. well, you know, declaring a public health emergency of international concern is the loudest alarm bell, the w jo can ring. the hope of course is that this creates awareness that the spurs countries interaction, whether that actually happens is another question. remember the last time the w to declare the p, i? c was in january 2024 covered by team. and i didn't get the sense at the time that that really spurred a lot of countries into action. but, but that is the hope. now the w h has had tetras. i don't give birth, yes. made the decision without the full backing of the emergency committee. what is
5:04 pm
behind that disagreement? yes, that is actually unprecedented. so the ph. d. i see this tool was created in 2005 with the, with the international health regulations. and normally the director general has always follow their advice. in this case, the committee was split, so a small majority of members actually was against declaring public health emergency of international concern. and they've given different reasons for why that might be . so, you know, one argument was that this is not spreading in the general population at the moment . it's concentrated in men of sex with men that happen caused a lot of death so far. but, but in the end there was a lot of pressure from demi ologist and almost all the experts i talked to where convinced that this would help the outbreak. and so i think there was a lot of pressure on him to, to, to go this way. but it is unusual and experts like the ones you know, do seem to be taken by surprise by the pace of this virus,
5:05 pm
but the amount that it's spreading. how concerned should people be? yes, i mean, what is unusual about this outbreak? it's really that is affecting one particular group at the moment, been with men, and that it is spreading at a pace that we haven't really seen with monkey pox in the past. this is not a virus that actually transmits all that well. so at the moment we think that the sexual networks that exist, make it much easier for the fires to spread from person to person. is that just much more densely connected networks than that. then i usually effect that, but that also means that the risk is very different for different groups at the moment. so at the moon, at the moment the risk communication has to be that anybody who is a man having sex with men, you know, needs to be particularly careful at a much higher risk than, than the rest of the population. but of course, over time, this virus can pull over into other groups. we don't know where they can find other density connected networks that it can spread. and, and so you know, the, the w jo hopes to cope this outbreak before it does that science journalist could

freshman there with the latest on that health emergency. thank you very much. pleasure. russia has denied any involvement in a missile strike on the ukrainian port city of odessa. the attack comes just one day after the un brokered an agreement between moscow and keith, to restart grain exports from ukraine. russia is rejecting claims by keith that it was responsible for the strike on odessa port, which is a key route to get grain out to a hungry world. dependent on ukraine's crops. the deal carries the potential to alleviate a global food crisis ahead of the strike. ukraine warn't it didn't trust russia to keep it promises. he of his correspondent nick connelly's indian training capitol. keep earlier i asked him about the reported attack and if it could scuttle the deal . well, there was obviously a lot of skepticism here running into the signing of that deal in turkey yesterday . obviously, the government,
5:07 pm
keen to show willingness to engage if it were to work of c, this would have lots of advantages for you. creating transformers 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 told ass is definitely a lot of people here saying i told you so the russians are just not to be trusted. 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 time to same time as war on land was carrying on. and the south of ukraine is a region that is seeing intensifying, fighting overseas. you've had so not far away from odessa. so somehow that, 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 on the see that was always a, it was gonna be a big asking very difficult. and so, you know, people here in ukraine who never really believed this deal would go anywhere in
5:08 pm
a hurry, 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 the 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
5:09 pm
a sense that there was an alternative, reopening the ports, but given yet the bad blood between rushing cramp given rushes repeatedly, attacks on civilians and cities, hundreds come through the front lines just it didn't ever really feel very convincing. here in care of that this kind of a 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 may be, 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 good them. but i think for the, for now is, is more about being at the table being shown, to be willing to talk and yoga actual realism of this, the actual kind of effects and the ability to get grain out and get started for question. nicolai there for us, and keep with the latest from that perspective. thanks very much. and i'm trying to some other stories making use right now. tie,
