ah, ah ah ah, this is vito, the news live from berlin. the head of the world health organization declares the monkey pox outbreak. a global health emergency. if you're as the disease could spread rapidly to more countries, but hope the declaration will for a more coordinated global response. less than a day after ukraine and russia sign a deal to allow grain shipments. the queen, an army, says russian missiles struck the port, city of odessa cranium, president,
8:01 pm
holiday mirrors. the lansky says the attack proves russia has already violating the agreement and pride as back here in berlin. hundreds of thousands joined the party in the german capital for the annual christopher street day parade. ah, and i am told me all laddie bow welcome to the program. the head of the world health organization has declared the foster spreading monkey pox. outbreak of public health, emergency of international concern cases have been detected in more than 70 countries. the health agency hopes the declaration will draw more attention and resources to fighting the disease. the world health organization has sounded the alarm over monkey pox, which it says is spreading quickly to men. countries that have not seen it before.
8:02 pm
we have an outbreak that has spread around the woods rapidly through new modes 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 books out greatly presents a public cold emergency of international concern. a public health emergency of international concern. it sounds bureaucratic, but in reality it means the organization sees the disease as a global health emergency. learning lessons from its covert response when it was criticized for being too slow and cautious to declare a pandemic. the w h o made this move in the hope of provoking countries into early action spread by a close, but not necessarily sexual contact. monkey pox has been mainly found in western africa until now, experts of baffled as to why it is spreading beyond that area and spreading so fast
8:03 pm
. it's not normally dangerous for those with healthy immune systems, but can be painful and lead to serious complications. so i had some lesions that were internal, not just on my skin, but also on my mucous membranes all over my body, basically. and those were the ones that were super painful. vaccines are available . it's the same short that protects against small pope's production was put on hold when that disease was eradicated globally in the last century. the danish company that produces the vaccine says it can start deliveries immediately. but already there are concerns about voltages. monkey pops has been reported in around 70 country so far, often in networks of men who have sex with men. they have been at the forefront of protests calling for rapid and equitable vaccination programs or the structure. earlier i asked sciences the science journalist, kai koop, fishnets, how the w equals declaration can change the response to the disease.
8:04 pm
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 cope this outbreak. but it is the loudest alarm bell, the w a joke, and ring bug. 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 already 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 fox. what we do have the smallpox vaccine, which our license to be used against monkey pox in some places in which we think help protect against monkey pox. but the old smallpox like seems, have very serious side effect sometimes. so there's one particular vaccine that has
8:05 pm
that. so more modern vaccine that has much fewer side effects and that one is produced by one company in one plant. 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 that want the sex scene that needed to protect the vulnerable populations within the borders. but it's going to be another question of vaccine equity globally. 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 a 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, with the majority that they'd help us didn't. yet, you know, warrantless declaration and even the 2nd emergency committee which met on thursday,
8:06 pm
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 joe should have acted faster, but actually in this case, you know, they have active faster than, than the experts advising them where it's suggesting. all right, well, leave it there. science journalist chi cooper. schmidt, thank you for speaking to us and russia has denied any involvement in a missile strike on the ukrainian port city of odessa. the attack comes a day after the un broken an agreement between moscow and give to restart green exports from ukraine, or just as port is part of a key route to get grain out to a hungry world. dependent on ukraine's crops of this deal carries the potential to ease a global food crisis. ukraine and president vladimir zalinski said he did not trust
8:07 pm
russia to keep its promises, but i see it will show 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, but as it always acts, this shows that ukraine can't be a country where there's a frozen conflict in the remote, and we really need ukraine to be able to take appropriate steps to d, occupy our territory. so v grogan chandel, ducal blind sonata territory, t w's correspond, and nick connelly is in the ukranian capital kia. and i asked him if the reported attack on odessa could scuttle the green deal. well, it definitely gives weight to the voice in ukraine 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
8:08 pm
the data. and we'll use that to try and take more turchin ukrainian did rush for miss a 2nd level in recent days, is that the 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 and stumble to coordinate these ships going in and out. but right now, it's very 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 a desert, they hit the point of a desert, and this is still an active also. and so i think that attempt to try and take these 2 things apart to basically create piece at seawall. there is an act of war on land . i think that's going to be very, very difficult and 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 a tool for anything to really translate into action on the ground and in light of
8:09 pm
that threat or any reason to believe ukraine could launcher a successful counter offensive and regain control over their territory. will definitely western weapons arriving in quite some number. now, not as much 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 deprived versus forces of that huge advantage in terms of artillery that they've had in recent months and basically bring it to parity that so 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 only 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 territories, say, this is now part of russia. if you try and regain the searches,
8:10 pm
we will use our nuclear weapons to defend them. so there's definitely a sense that ukraine needs to be pushed as much home, otherwise would be too late. he doesn't use an economy and if thank you, steve van on former presidential advisor and donald trump's administration says he'll appeal the verdict of the u. s. federal journey jury rather that convicted him of contempt of congress. the campaign strategist was found guilty of on 2 counts of criminal contempt for defying subpoenas from the committee investigating last year's riot at the u. s. capital. thank you. i want to say so by thinking the jury were respect their decision, ada. steve bannon was defiant in his remarks to reporters following his conviction in u. s. federal court immediately indicating he plans to appeal the rulings we may have lost the battle here to day warnock oler's us war. this employee told the u. s.
8:11 pm
committee investigating the january 6th insurrection at the u. s. capital asked abandoned to provide documents and testify in person about efforts to overturn the 2020 election. bannon ignored both subpoenas, so the case was referred to the justice department. and however, the committee did obtain leaked audio of bannon discussing the president strategy to declare victory no matter what an erudite at a public hearing this week. let's listen in with a victory. it was a need for with the democratic more of our people early that town, their vote in may. and so they're going to have a natural disadvantage in front. they get better friends with warner. so when you wake up wednesday morning is going to be far. and of course, 4 days later president trump declared victory when his own campaign advisers told him he had absolutely no basis to do so alert. and we all got,
8:12 pm
although bannon only lasted 7 months in the white house after helping trump, when in 2016, he was brought back in after the 2020 election to help devise a strategy to keep trump in office. one last thing i heard with trump in the constitution, oh bannon remains free pending his sentencing scheduled for october. the 21st hundreds of thousands of people have come to berlin to take part in the annual christopher street day parade. is one of the world's largest pride events this year. it even so support from the german parliament. this is a 1st for germany, the l 2 b t q pride flag raised in front of the german parliament, standing tall as a symbol of support for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community. ah, hundreds of thousands of people took to the capital streets,
