a deal that allowed grain to be exported through the black sea. the un security council will meet on friday to address the humanitarian consequences of russia's withdrawal from the agreement. let's. let's get more now from the w corresponding economy. he joins us from keep nick, both sides are now making threats to attack ships. is the black sea evolving into another battle ground in this war? i think it certainly is. has to be said that back see has what do you see? it's the share of minute traction. remember the flagship of the russian black c fleets must go out, was sunk by the craniums. last year we've seen all those repeated ukrainian attempts to destroy the crime in bridge. but now this, these threats against commercial shipping really imposes totally different economic price. and i think the interesting thing and all of this is how surprised the russian side was, the ukraine was basically followed the russian threat with it. so when you're
8:08 am
looking at the kind of russian state media, they just really didn't know how to report on this. there was some kind of sense of incredulity that ukraine was going to opt in to the same way that russia have. i don't think we ukraine perspective, what's kind of useful about this is here. we have to do anything to already impose a significant economic price. we're going to see insurance companies probably most likely, refusing to ensure ships heading to russian fort. so gonna see maybe ship owners from other countries thinking twice about whether it's worth sending the ships towards russian ports. you don't have to even send any ukrainian warships to drones, protect anything. and also the question of naval mines that even without any intent, usually travel quite a lot of distance off for a while. so you can create a kind of perception of safety being gone of danger. and that already means that russia has to face, i think costs and think about defending shipping in a way that it just the result really only even though because since quitting the grand deal earlier this week, moscow has repeatedly launched missile strikes on you,

cranes to biggest port cities, odessa and nickel live un secretary general antonio guitars condemn these attacks last night. here is what gutierrez's spokesman had say. the secretary general also recalls that the destruction of civilian infrastructure may constitute violations of international humanitarian law. these attacks are having an impact well beyond ukraine. we're already seeing the negative impact on global weight and form prices, which hurts everyone, but especially vulnerable people in the global south. nick is anything being done right now to revive the grain deal and prevent the effects that the you and this morning about what we'd heard from the inputs in just before this greenville was allowed to expire. you kind of research, it rushes them on. some of that was about western sanctions against russian banks,
8:10 am
things about spat, thoughts for rushes, agricultural sector, things that just weren't possible anymore because of western sanctions. i think for now there's not really a sense, but if this is going to somehow be restored any time soon a week range like this in the sense that even the most good way to get what it 2 months then it'll come up with some kind of new to mon pretty soon and just and consistently use this grain deal as a way to pressure the west to make concessions. ukraine for its part is trying to come up with alternatives. they have said that they are willing to take risks. and so think about maybe i'm trying to coordinate some kind of protection for the ships coming into print reports may be seen to a key send military ships to a school those a tank has those ships coming in and out whether or not took he's willing take that risk and they to members of different questions. and then there is also the alternative of trying to find groups that don't require that north western portion of the black sea where rushes made those threats try to send grain out by land roots by rail. that is obviously
8:11 am
a lot more costly and the capacities are limited. i think there is a real sense that ukraine is going to try and send out a lot more grain than it was able to last year before those bullets reopened. nick, thank you very much. our correspondent nick connelly there in key. it's due south africa now where authorities are trying to find out what caused a massive explosion in the central business district of johannesburg. on wednesday, one person was confirmed dead and dozens of people were injured. the public had been warrant to avoid the area its rush hour and central johanna is beg, mini bus taxi's line. this busy street, and no one is prepared to what's about to happen. cctv footage. so i literally capturing the moments as the road is ripped to pods by the force of an explosion. this panic is people run for cover. and those costs
