the war in ukraine now, and the 1st grain shipment to leave ukraine since the stars of russia's invasion has set sail and turkey, which is overseeing a deal between the countries that it will save to resume exports. earlier today, the ship rezone, loaded with corn, headed into the black sea on its way to lebanon. convoys of ships are now free to follow. a russian blockade had sealed ukraine's ports while ukraine had laid minds in the sea to thwart russian naval assaults. the head of the united nations said the stars of exports would help bring relief to the world. many countries have experienced a shortage of grain due to the month long war and latin thick as the director of the u. n's world c program here in germany. and i asked him earlier, how encouraged he was by the news of this 1st ukrainian grain ship leaving odessa hello. yeah, well, this is certainly a beacon of hope to see

a ship leaving the port soft, almost 5 months. i think it's worthy to say that crisis is over insurance rates, for example, us still very highest. the risk is considered high every leaving. i hope that normality will come back. could you give us a sense of what the last 5 months of war in ukraine had done to global food security? but to start with, we started this he already on except your physical situation. the number of acutely hungry people were blowing up since 2019 from 150000000 to 279000000 people worldwide. now, when the war in ukraine started, this number was skyrocketing. and today, we are afraid that 345000000 people are acutely straightened by hunger.

so the ship leaving odessa and this perspective for ukraine coming on line again as a major green exporters, very of course, your organization, the world food program delivers suit assistance in more than a see countries. can you tell us how you, how your organization is dealing with this whole situation? well, it's 1st and foremost, the question of money really come into sensors. many of the countries that you're working with are simply not in the condition to pay for the high prices on the world market. and for families will ready spending 6780 percent of the incomes for food. the current price bike is just something they cannot showed on the other side when we are looking after those who are angry, the money we have doesn't carry as far as it did before. because also we are suffering from high food prices,

but also from exceptionally high prices for shipments. ukraine says that it may harvest only half of its usual amount this year due to the war. is that the wells next big problem right there? well we do have problems, climate change is impacting the world wide. i'm talking to you from the germany and here the also experiencing reduce you to the heat waves, which are of course a function of climate change. so while the current, we have a crisis of the food prices were skyrocketing, prices for future lies with the impact of climate change with high prices of fuel and transfer. you might well see the production crisis if you don't steer against martin frank from the united nations world finish program. thanks so much for your time. thank you. rushes warn ukraine has had

a huge impact on children. about 2000 and schools in ukraine have been damaged during the war. scores have been completely destroyed, are correspond at funding for char visited a village in the cave region in northern new crane, where efforts are underway to help reopen the only school that still standing. paulina has lots of time on her hands to draw but she would love to do other things to lose and rising. i miss my friends. i love you and i miss my teacher. well, it's been 5 months now since the children were at school. the last time was in february. it was supposed to include an excursion, but it was a fateful day. oh so, but all we were supposed to go to the river to see the ice melting. i love it for. oh, we couldn't make it because it was the 24th last month. the luchella's polinos mother says the lack of schooling makes her question the decision to stay in ukraine in

a bona light. i regret that i did not leave the country when my friend left alone. she went to germany. it's not only about my kids, it's about all kids. they lack education. and that was i, and latino. russian forces attacked their village at the start of the war. their school was seriously damaged, leaving all the kids stuck at home. a wall has been fixed, but most of the windows are still broken and there's no heating. the classrooms will remain empty until basic facilities are restored. oksana is a literature teacher. better than the 1st day of the war get the children started to text me and say good bye. returning into her old classroom is difficult. she's concerned about her students, sandra bullock. well it's, it's very painful when you realize that our children so that we don't know what to

morrow will bring his name to will there be any future they will, our kids don't deserve. this isn't as a slow ho. ukrainian forces blew up this bridge to stop the russians coming. but people here are scared of new rocket attacks. so scared, the mayor asked us not to use the name of the village in this report. the war has had a devastating effect on millions of people in ukraine, but especially on the countries children returning to school would bring some level of normality to the children here in this village. but live over all still remains very insecure. paulina andrew classmates don't want to wait for the war to end to go back to school. they sell what they have and what they make to try to fix things . ashes will be able to go back to school soon, raise money, and the school can be repaired. ukrainian children are growing up quickly. here they are fighting, put a future with what ever they can find the time. now to take

a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. iran has the technical capability to produce an atomic bomb, but it hasn't no intention of doing so that's according to mohammed. as la mi, who runs iran's nuclear organisation, he made the comments as the eas, top diplomat, such as at morale, seeks to salvage a 2015 nuclear accord. as la mi said he hoped for a swift swift conclusion to negotiations. the head of men, mars ruling, military hunter, has announced a 6th month extension of the state of emergency. the army seized power from the elected government of uncensored she. last year. they fledge to hold new elections in august 2023. but observers say that's highly unlikely. kosovo has postponed, the introduction of tougher border controls to serbia. after sharpening of tensions ethnic serbs blocked roads in the north of casa,

though an unknown gunman fired on police, close very close to border crossings to serbia after the incidence. now will she or won't she us how speak and nancy pelosi has kicked off a closely watched asia tool on monday in singapore. but the big question is whether she will visit taiwan. the self ruled island claimed by beijing, though the island is not officially on her agenda, there is speculation. she might visit in some capacity. china has already issued a clear warning rule. that was, you don't know if the speaker of the house of representatives, pelosi visits taiwan, the chinese side will definitely take resolute and strong counter measures in the culture in response into wonder and defended sovereignty and territorial integrity through user terms. water as to what measures with

a gun she is she does to go. then let's as wait and see how senior u. s. and taiwanese officials are indicating that nancy pelosi might make the trip even as china issues a clear warning, not to travel to taiwan. tensions between us and china over the island have been building for some time with each side, blaming the other for the escalation. he did. you don't play with fire all that was chinese president, she's in pings message to his u. s. counterpart, joe biden. in the most recent talks, china claims the u. s. is dangerously close to crossing a line on taiwan with its messages of support for the islands. independence in may . biden broke with years of u. s. policy by promising military support. if china tried to invade are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan? if it comes to that? yes, you are. as a commitment,

we made the u. s. as china is the one disrupting the status quo. over the past year, she jan ping has provoked taiwan with incursions into its air space and calls for an end to taiwanese self rule. fool, i'm sure the historical mission of the re unification of the motherland must be and will surely be realised, negotiate beijing sees the island as the chinese territory temporarily occupied by the political airs of those who lost the chinese civil war. 1949. since then, taiwan has governed itself, running regular military and civilian drills to prepare for a possible chinese invasion. to pass that china has laid out off is neither a free and democratic way of life to taiwan. no sovereignty for 23000000 people. many in the west see it as a fight between democracy and authoritarianism. but that's not the only reason why the u. s. is involved. taiwan is integral to

u. s. strategy to check china's power and the pacific. the taiwan strait is one of the most important shipping lanes and global trade and the majority of the world's advanced semiconductors, using everything from smartphones to cars, joke are made on the island, tries to relocate production line. if china successfully imposes its rule on taiwan, that would be a big blow to the u. s. and a victory for she, jan. packed to y'all, ease he did, but he was, and biden, untie both have a lot to lose. should they know a full blown war could be the worst case scenario for both their country slunk would go back. he w correspondence, zachary lee and ty pay sent us his assessment on what nancy pelosi visit to taiwan would mean. just wont theories consequences if ms. pelosi visit, ty, one means that you could provoke a response from china, perhaps a military one. and of course were risk patients between china in the u. 8th. hello . this be that is seen by china support for taiwan from the us. and you would

definitely and go china abuse. i was as its own territory and oppose those of any foreign politicians be the to tie one. i have talked to some experts here and they told me that do not know the extent to which china is willing to risk a confrontation into one according to local media. most experts believe that even if pelosi be the tie one and the tension between china and the us may increase sample china, we're probably conduct mo, military exercises near taiwan. by the way, it will escalate to military conflict. today, media in taiwan pay much attention to pillow, same potential tape here. some media even cited on net. so is saying that pelosi we're rapid tie 1 august. they can, but we have to understand that her cheap food, high one is now you come from any of the shows all i want new government at this

moment. in fact, let's have a nice authority. don't seem to respond the impaled phase 3. they just say they will come any distinguished, boring, get on tie one for sure. hello. this is, it will be a big surprise to us by the same time he doesn't want any military conflict with china. this is probably why the town is government. same saying no word to policies to be the in the west african country of cynical president mackey. sal's ruling coalition has claimed victory in parliamentary elections. a spokesman for the group says it has retained ed's majority in the national assembly. taking 30 of $46.00 administrative departments and the opposition has disputed thou come. election observers say though to turn out was low and that the final tally won't be in for several days. president mack, his so got his vote in early though his party currently holds 75 percent of seats

and parliament. his popularity has been waning. senegal is one of the regions most stable democracies for its economy. the struggling the ukraine war has seen food and fuel prices skyrocket. leading ordinary senegalese to worry about their future by manipulating among our concerns, our education at the high cost of living and youth employment, the presumptuous vision all day long, even with the grease, young people still can't find jobs. in some families, the parents pensions are the only source of income, would allow mer, several leading opposition, politicians like guzman, sancho, have been disqualified from running. they say the president has misused his power to eliminate political opponents. the opposition also fear sol is planning to break the constitutional to term limit and try for a 3rd term and 2024. they're hoping senegalese voters will give them enough seats

to prevent that from happening. now one of the early stars of the television and film series star trek has died actin a shall nichols who found fame playing lieutenant hoorah has died at the age of $89.00. a family said in a statement, a great lights in the firmament, no longer shines for us. calm and competent, nischelle nicole's as a horror, a statue ex communications officer. she was clearly in control. i'm afraid you have it all on the spot. in this episode from 1969 oh horror, and lightened so confused, male colleagues about an alien religion. it's not the sun up in the sky. the sun god was but after the 1st series, nichols had been subjected to racist insult and her character reduced to open communication channels for spoke and kirk were frustrated. she decided to quit and

mentioned this at a chance meeting with black rights leader, martin luther king. he said her role had opened the door that must not be allowed to close. she withdrew her resignation. he meant a great deal to me. i knew him though well. and then he was a great man. laura lanes freedom. her character's name too, was a clear reference to black power, as spoke explained its meaning in swahili nichols made history when she kissed her co star william shatner in 1968, often credited as one of the 1st interracial kisses on u. s. t. v. years later, she paid tribute to him and the show at one of the many star trek reunions. he's like, it's like family. it's like family. alongside breaking down barriers to black women in hollywood nichols later worked with nasa to encourage more women and black

americans to become astronauts. the show nichols boldly going where no black woman had gone before fillmore in the story. w coaches. david levitz joins me here in a skier. hey david, and it's hard really for many of us these days, isn't it? to imagine the impact a black woman commander on star trek made in the $960.00 is. can you give us a sense of how her presence change things? yeah, i think to really understand how impactful that was how extraordinary that was at the time we kind of have to be mm. ourselves back into the 1960 is really and this was a time in the united states when black people were still fighting for some pretty basic rights, even the right to decide what neighborhoods they wanted to live in. and on television, there were hardly any black actresses. when there were black actresses. they were playing domestic servants. so then comes along, michel nichols, you have a star trek which takes place in the 23rd century. and it's, it's

a vision of something completely different of a completely different life. for african americans, she's competent, she's educated, she's respected. big, big one there. and for millions of years this was something that they hadn't seen before on television. it was so groundbreaking, actually, the actress will be goldberg, is that it was the 1st time she saw a black actress on tv who wasn't playing a maid while so an incredible role model. but of course then it goes a step further because we have this boundary breaking kiss between nichols and her and kosta william shatner, a white man in $968.00. we're a little more context there. that was the year after the u. s. supreme court made it legal in all states in the united states for black and white people to inter mary. so this was really on the cutting edge. and when they were filming this episode, they weren't even sure if broadcasters in the southern us were going to show it, or if they were gonna pull it from the air. so these things that we take for granted. now really at the time we're groundbreaking, and michelle nichols was,

was really at the center and at the forefront of it. so you've got an extraordinary actress, an extraordinary role. and yet we heard in our piece, she'll never quit. and she, i think with amazing about that now is looking back. she didn't realize at the time how important she wasn't, how important she was to so many people. she was actually a stage actress on the new york in chicago stages. she was a dancer and a singer, and she's all this role on star trek is just another line on her resume, you know, maybe it would improve her stage career. and it wasn't until that meeting with dr. martin luther king junior at a fan convention by the way, he was a fan that she realized when he told him you can't quit the show because you are so important to so many people you need to keep playing this role in inspiring people, right? i've just got to ask you and she also inspired some very like channels. didn't say she did. she teamed up with nasa in the 1900 seventy's after star trek's 1st run,

and she helped them recruit some of their very 1st women astronauts and astronauts of color. she was responsible in part for their 1st class of new astronauts that wasn't just white men. so it's really, it's sort of a tale of the importance of representation here because we have what started off as science fiction, this black female commander in space. and it turned into a reality and she helped inspire astronauts who have inspired astronauts to to come since then somebody here really change the world d, w 's. david levitz, thanks so much a quick reminder of the top stories were following for you. celebrations of being held in london to on england football team for that victory at the euro. 2022 tournament. the line us is be germany and sundays final. that the 1st english team women's, all men's to win a european championship in 56 years. and ukraine has resumed grain shipments from its black seaports turkey, which is overseeing
