my thirties on d w ah ah, this is dw, live from berlin, the head of the world health organization declares the monkey pox outbreak. a global health emergency is the disease could spread rapidly to more countries, but hope the declaration will spur a more coordinated global response. less than a day after ukraine and russia sign a deal to a la grange shipments. the ukranian army says russian missiles struck the port, city of odessa, ukrainian president holiday mirrors. lensky says the attack proves russia is

already violating the agreement and the prize parade. the pride is back here in berlin. hundreds of thousands joined the party in the german capital for the annual christopher street day parade. ah, hello, i'm told me all, let it go. welcome to the program. the head of the world health organization has declared the fast spreading monkey box outbreak. a global health emergency cases have been detected in more than 70 countries. with health agency hopes the declaration will draw more attention and resources to fighting the disease. here's what tedra adam. deborah, yes, was had to say so in short, we have an outbreak that has spread around the world rapidly through new model of transmission about which we understand truly to and which meets the criteria in the

international health regulations. for all of these reasons, i have decided that the global monkey pox outbreak represents a public hill emergency of international concern as get more from high co fishnet science journalist with a background in molecular bio medicine. hi, welcome to the program. how does this declaration change the response so far to the disease? well, i mean the truth is, we don't know whether this changes the response or how it does. the hope is that this is going to draw more attention to the problem that it's going to help to, to galvanize support and to get countries to act on it, to test more, to make sure that we do what we can to curve this outbreak. but it is the loudest alarm bell, the w t o can ring by what it does. ultimately we're going to see in the next weeks . right. so one of the key things i guess in terms of response would be the vaccine

. so far, we're ready seeing shortages. so is that likely to, to, to have a bit of a boost now that this declaration has been made. so the vaccine situation is fairly complicated. i mean, we've never really developed a vaccine against monkey pox, but we do have the smallpox vaccine, which our license to be used against monkey pockets in some places in which we think help protect against monkey pox. but the old smallpox vaccines have very serious side effect sometimes. so there's one particular vaccine that has that zone more modern vaccine that has much fewer side effects. and that one is produced by one company in one planned. and this declaration won't change anything in the short run in how much of that is available. the, the crucial thing is that the declaration might help to coordinate the global distribution of this vaccine because there's a lot of countries now they want the sexiness that needed to protect the vulnerable

populations within the orders. but it's going to be another question of vaccine equity globally. now, monkey pox has been spreading for for a few months now. why has it taken the w chill this long to declare the emergency? well, i mean to be fair, there was the 1st meeting of the emergency committee which makes this decision or which is tasked with advising the director general on this. they met in june and then they decided with the ad with the majority that they'd help us didn't yet warrant this declaration. and even the 2nd emergency committee which met on thursday, actually the majority of members didn't feel that a fake should be declared. and it was the director general in a, in an unprecedented move actually, who decided that he was going to declare health emergency anyway. so you can always argue that the w jo should have acted faster, but actually in this case, you know, they have acted faster than, than the experts advising them were suggesting. all right, well,

leave it there. science journalist chi cooper. schmidt, thank you for speaking to us. thank you. russia has denied any involvement in a missile strike on the cranium. port city of odessa. the attack comes a day after view and broken an agreement between moscow and give to restart green exploits from ukraine. now, just as port is part of a key route to get grain out to a hungry world. as dependent on ukraine's crops, the deal carries the potential to ease a global food crisis. ukrainian president vladimir lensky, though, said he did not trust russia to keep its promises. here, militia will not rush oh, no matter what it says and promises will find ways not to implement the deal. geopolitically with weapons bloody or not. it has several vectors, as it always acts. this shows that you crank can't be a country where there's

a frozen conflict in the mold, and we really need ukraine to be able to take appropriate steps to de, occupy our territory. so the new cook should deal could bind sonata territory. i will have the w's ne, connolly. joining us from key of nick ukraine, says russia missiles struck odessa. russia saying it had no involvement in that. what does this all mean for this deal? they just signed on green experts. well, it definitely gives weights to the voicing crane that were very, very skeptical about this deal along who said there is basically no basis for trusting russia, that truck russia will meet the commitments given in turkey. that russia will attempt to take advantage of the fact that the c mines being removed in front of a desk. and we'll use that to try and take more turchin ukrainian did rush for miss a 2nd level. in recent days, they said that russia is not satisfied with dumbass, that basically the whole of ukraine is still one of russia's targets. i think this

agreement might still be working on paper and yet there is more work ahead in terms of setting up that coordination center in a stumble to coordinate these ships going in and out. but right now, it's really difficult to see how any commercial ship owner can even get insurance, or would be willing to send their property, their ship into ports, like a desa, given a situation where this is a constant risk. even if these missiles didn't hit the green port in odessa, they hit the port of odessa, and this is still an active also. and so i think that attempt to try and take these 2 things apart to basically create peace at sea. while there is an active war on land, i think that's going to be very, very difficult and the realization to steal, have a great enthusiasm for this. you know, worldwide is going to be very difficult. it's going to take quite some time. if at all, for anything to really translate into action on the ground. and in light of that threat or any reason to believe ukraine could launcher a successful counter offensive and regain control over their territory.

will definite western weapons are arriving in quite some number. now, not as much, not as far as the cranes would like, but they are certainly already making themselves felt, especially the american high mar systems. that's a rocket artillery system that really allows ukraine to hit russian weapons deposed 7080 kilometers away from their positions. and really basically tried to pry vs forces of that huge advantage in terms of artillery that they've had in recent months and basically bring it to parity. that song, it really has had an impact for now the russians have nothing to basically put it against that high mar system. their anti aircraft systems aren't able to intercept those shells coming in. so there's actually a sense that ukraine's i can try and push home disadvantage because there's an expectation that in september, russia will hold referenda in those up by churches and try and legitimize its control of those are to say, this is now part of russia. if you try and regain the searches, we will use our nuclear weapons to defend them. so there's definitely a sense that ukraine needs to be seen, push this voltage home, otherwise will be too late. d, w, using the connolly and kia, thank you. right,

let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. thousands of travelers trying to start their summer holidays have been facing up to 6 hour delays at the english port of dover, england and france are blaming each other for the log jam. england says french authorities are understaffed, while france says the situation is an aftermath of bricks. it firefighters on the spanish island of 10 aretha struggling to contain a wildfire that's already burned, about one percent of the entire island, 12 air units, and $170.00 fire fighters are combating the blaze. some 50 households have been evacuated now. this year, spain is experiencing the worst wildfires since records began. miss hundreds of thousands of people have come to berlin to take part in the annual
