the sail from black seaports. as soon as the united nations gives the go ahead and alaska is on fire. the northern you where state sees an unusual spate of forest fires. we meet the crew struggling to save hopes. ah, i'm painful and welcome. the battle for youth crane continues. so does the information war, thousands of ukrainian prisoners of war have died today. russia and ukraine accusing each other of shelling the prison troops captured after the full of mighty apo. we're being held. russia claims ukraine used you where supply roggette launches to strike the jail in the front downtown of allan if cut, the ukrainian military is blaming brush and shelling. neither claim has been independently verified. russian officials say the attack killed, 53 ukrainian p o w's in the days of the main development,

ukraine says it's ready to restart. great exports shipments could get moving again from to black. c ports today or tomorrow. and we're in agreement with russia drawn up by the united nations officials a waiting for the you when to confirm shipping lanes of the mind and safe to navigate. president, one of his lensky has inspected the loaded vessels in the odessa region. he says ukraine wants to boost global food security by dispatching millions of tons of wheat cave claims. a russian blockade has halted. exports all 5 bonds. he w mathias voting a is at the port of odessa and gave me this update. yeah, there was that hope you originally that maybe the 1st ships could already leave today. doesn't look like it now, but it's maybe still possible. we're nearing the end of the day and ukrainian and russian media are saying that the 1st ships might now leave tomorrow. the ports,

the ships are ready, they have been loaded. and today there was quite a big delegation, visiting these pores that was the landscape. and there were also the ambassadors of the g 7 countries emphasizing how important this was. we also were there, we could get a glimpse and it was the 1st time that media was allowed to film in the sports. so it seems like they're really trying to create a to, to, to, to put pressure on russia, which everybody in the west fears might stop these shipments. at the last moment. ukraine is trying to act as a guarantor of global food supplies at the same time as fighting off a russian invasion. as far as this huge backlog goes, how big is, is task for keith? it's a, it's a huge task. it's so your grain is one of the main grain suppliers, it's not the biggest, it's not the only one, but it's one of the main grain suppliers. and this share of, for,

we're talking about 20000000 tons of grain that are still in ukrainian stock, or as as to stockpile in ukraine. and of course, lacking on the world market. on the other hand, we have the russian fleet in the, in the, in the black sea we have, ukraine has also mind it's the entrances to its boards fearing a russian attack. so this had to be mitigated very carefully. and now the, the to say the 2 sides haven't agreed on it, but the mediators have agreed with each side that ukraine will allow for a g mind corridor where the ships can pass and that russia will not attack. that's what's written on paper. and we'll see what's going to happen whether it will be really possible to ship out these $20000000.00 tons plus an additional $20000000.00 that are expected from this year's harvest. mateus overshadowing this story, dozens of ukrainian prisoners of war, if reported, they been killed in a missile strike moscow. and keith blain each other here. tell us more.

you know, what we know is that a facility where these prisoners were held a prison was hit, the barracks where these prisoners lived. it seems that many of them were members of the ass off regiment. that's and defenders of murray, you, paul, who have been taken prisoners in may when they surrendered from them as of style as of steel plant. in maria poll, we do not really know what happened there. both sides are accusing of each other. russia is saying ukraine had fired the high mass rocket on the facility. ukraine is saying this is ridiculous. we would never do that. and they're accusing russia of having intentionally fired on this facility to kill these prisoners of war. so it's accusation against accusation. so far, none of none of the sides has presented any proof for their version with

a spring in odessa. thank you for the update. when russia invaded ukraine, western nations started up in their sanctions on the rush and economy bit by bit some more than others. almost 6 months into the war, what measures are in place where the un announced and immediate ban on oil imports from russia and the european union said it would phase out russian oil by the end of the year. the you also said it would reduce its reliance on russian gas. several russian banks have been cut off from the international payment system and the you with his band high tech exports like micro chips and telecommunications equipment to russia. overall, russian sanctions could see the economy. they're shrink by as much as 10 percent this year, but they haven't stopped the war in ukraine. earlier i spoke to joseph burrell, european union representative on foreign policy. i asked him if the use refusal to cut off russian gas and oil altogether meant the block was financing rushes war. we

will be cutting brush shannon gas as soon as possible, but we are not going to court august night because it's impossible. due to the high back end and see are some member state now have a blue the plan in order to reduce the step and see and not very short time. it was 40 percent before the war. it's now 20 percent of oil. butch, we've had divided by 2 now couple of months. but nobody can ask you to be in economists to got all the other night. a gas replies. you said the rubble is, are ready. hi, this is a mechanic effect. this is a mechanic of faith in russia and not in board because we cut exports to russia on the prices over energy is increasing heavy, where certainly in economy reserve external surplus under

brother goes up. but the trouble is, is no longer convertible currency. so it's not very useful to have a very high rate. you are currently not convertible. no, the sanctions are eating betty hard to russian economy. after i was sanctioned, that bridal goal has been decreasing. what do you mean and we continue paying for the gas. we buy yes, certainly. we continue paying for the gas by, but we have been used to half the amount to william butch. so yes, we can not do my locals. the war machine is going to read. not only working with money is working with technology, have a look at it a day. carter carter what the stride russian tank. and you will see how many western companies electronic company gene side there. they will no longer, no longer have it. they can have the money, but they can not buy it,

but they would not be able to build and all that the only days. so don't, don't look just at the money because the money dos in bite knology, if this will blaze of technology don't sell it. russian economy is decreasing by 10 percent of the g. b is going to suffer the bigger recession on de la c. as in grand weather war war, can daniel the so de shall be a junior and yet you continue saying it, but you continue paying for the guy to continue paying for the guy. but you seem to rush and we provide our gas for free, but important to reduce the depth and, and say, and we are reducing it very quickly from 40 to 20 percent in a couple months as comments from joseph, rather european union representative on foreign policy. now let's get you up to speed on some other stories, making headlines. ministers from algeria, nigeria and asia have signed a preliminary deal to build a 4000 kilometer long gas pipeline connecting the sahara desert with europe. the project will cost about $14000000000.00 euros and could supply europe with

30000000000 cubic meters of natural gas every year for douglas pipeline, thousands of young climate activists of march through to ran in northern italy to protest against the lack of strong policies to help counter global warming rally followed a week of conferences in the city featuring speakers from countries most affected by climate change. the white house says destruction for wild flies in the us is exceeding the 10 year average. scientists won't, climate change is responsible. president biden has declared a major disaster for the state of alaska, where unusually fierce font forest fires are bridging. he's covered in a joy reports from the town of anderson where she made emergency cruise batting the fires as well as residents fleeing from them. alaska is the largest u. s. seat. it is also the least densely populated among its great treasures, the untouched wilderness. but much of that is now being

destroyed. wildfires are not a new phenomenon here, but they are changing. they're becoming more frequent and more intense. so much so that this here no co fire fighters here in anderson, we're unable to get them when a fire happens and they get bigger than the local unit can handle like so here in anderson they have some local volunteer firefighters. they but, but they're very small. so when the fire gets bigger than what they can control, they will call for outside help and tell pass come from all over the u. s. kate earhart from montana has been battling places country white for more than 20 years . this is her 5th time in alaska. she's now supervising a team of 500 fire fighters deployed to help control one wildfire. sadly, this property couldn't be saved. it's really when fires like this one. start

in and around populated areas, even a lightly populated area like this that it becomes a problem. era. here you hear that i've never seen fire behavior like this before. and so i would say this abnormal weather is the new normal. it's getting harder to fight fires, resources they're getting scarcer, and we're dealing with women like this, this summer. more than 264 individual fires have destroyed 1250000 hectares of land across the state. the blaze in anderson is now under control, that the damage is extensive, and the strong winds post a risk to this used to be a for is you can still see smoke at there. the fire fighters are still trying to get that high under control and we can strongly smell it.

local people half had to evacuate their homes. among them, don and dorothy wins are accelerating the place. when they returned, the fire was under control. it was like kind of like the real, there was smoke and fires were still burning in the trees out here. and the firemen were with us and i think they were with us because they maybe, you know, it would be traumatic to go and see. but we, he, they said right away, your house is safe. this time they were lucky, but there will certainly be wildfires here again. and experts say global warming may make them more severe. now, what's the 1st thing you think of when you hear the word vaccine? most of us imagine rolling up our sleeves for shot in the arm. but many researches believed as a better way to protect against covered 19. and it doesn't involve a needle. billions of doses of vaccines have been injected throughout the world over the course of the pandemic. and although the series of shots doesn't prevent

people from getting coven 19 entirely, it does make the course of the disease generally much less severe. and bad experts say has saved millions of lives. some researchers have set their sights higher. their goal is to prevent infections before they can take hold at the place where the virus 1st enters the body, the nose around a dozen trials with different nasal spray vaccine candidates are currently ongoing in different countries. a few are in what's called phase 3 testing, which means they're being checked for effectiveness in larger groups of test subjects. they could help change the course of the pandemic because if sars coby too is blocked from docking on to the cells in the upper respiratory tract, it can't invade them. so even after exposure, it's unable to replicate in the massive way that leads to full blown illness. that

means blocking the virus with this kind of vaccine might also help break infection chains. the concept isn't a novel one. nasal vaccines for influenza have been around for a couple of decades now. there have been a few problems with them over the years, but for lots of people, especially younger recipients, they have one major advantage. the boost to immunity doesn't involved getting jabbed with a needle. a mix and documentary series looks a gangs that traffic children i'm been fissile and fill. gail will have your news next out. ah. his goal is establishing and later she jumping president of the global power, china. any criticism of his regime, isn't it in the bud? he's part of a whole system which.
