cool and we will win everything will be fine take care i'll say goodbye to you until friday watch espresso pay attention to the air alarm because the enemy is insidious hitting all over ukraine now in fact and not the whole squad there it's not difficult wherever they see it hits there especially rockets shoot and fly wherever they want, and now i offer your attention, uh, news release, let's see how she saw this day. my colleagues from the ukrainian editorial office of bbc news, let's watch it together. while warehouses with ammunition continue to explode in belarusians, negotiations between representatives of turkey, ukraine, russia and the un delegation regarding the export of grain from ukraine were held in istanbul, and scientists released a photo that captured the universe

13.5 billion years ago, the first photos from the most powerful telescope in space today across the entire territory an air alert sounded in ukraine. the ministry of defense reported that russia hit mykolaiv with modified missiles of the s300 system. the regional military reported two missile strikes on zaporizhzhia . the administration there urged people to remain calm and follow the rules of the air alert, and not to spread information, and i am joined by the bbc correspondent zhanna bezpiychuka. greetings zhanna zhanna, i would like to ask you to summarize today's airstrikes by russia, what is known at this

moment, what is known about what is really happening in the city of zaporizhzhia they hit an enterprise, this enterprise is located in the industrial zone of the city, and in fact it is such a part of zaporizhzhia. where were they not shot at? some enterprise was hit , and it is known that at least part of the enterprises there are partially or completely not working and in general there was not such a large number of people there, it is also known that the director of the enterprise that was directly kissed by these two russian missiles managed to get his employees out of the shelter when the air alarm started and this probably also saved people's lives and this another reminder and an example of the fact that whatever air alerts are announced in ukraine throughout the country or only a small number of regions may be covered by an air alert if it is especially about such strategic

objects as zaporizhia enterprises, then it is possible to maintain an air alert also for zaporizhzhia and the zaporizhzhia region in general, it is important to take into account that not only the city suffers from shelling, but also other towns and all areas located along the line of contact also remember that 65% of the territory of this region of ukraine is currently occupied. and just before the shelling of zaporizhzhia, they shelled gulyai pole, a town right next to the contact line, and destroyed it there for example, the city house of children's creativity , also in the zaporizhzhia region, burned down at least 600, that is, more probably, we can say more than 600 hectares of grain crops for the fields sown with these crops.

the last few days are especially difficult for zaporizhzhia and for the zaporizhzhia region in relation to mykolaiv oblast , shelling has also taken place there over the last two days in mykolaiv oblast, in mykolaiv, rescuers, local authorities, the military are engaged in counting explosions from the missiles, 24 such pits were counted in the depths. and indeed, how to decide, i mentioned that we are talking about converted s-300 missiles, in particular, they were identified from among those missiles that we fired at the mykolaiv region , moreover, they were fired from the kherson region, which had previously been hit by the ukrainian army, but those the strikes actually concerned the military bases of ammunition depots and support, as we understand with all this information that is available. but it was precisely in mykolaiv oblast that residential sectors were fired upon and residential sectors were directly affected on the spot significant damage to houses, hmm, there was also

damage to buildings, for example, a post office , a bank, school premises, two hospitals, if we talk about mykolaiv, it is known that more than 10 people were injured, and there are still counting the damages and the scale of the damage, and also the number of people who were injured precisely as a result of these latest missile strikes there. well, you can't ask about the attack by ukraine on the russian military infrastructure. let's put it this way. today, leps released satellite images of the planets before and after of the attack by the armed forces of ukraine on the russian ammunition warehouse, the new kakhovts, the difference, as they say, is impressive, it is on the bbc.ua website. and for those who are interested, pay attention to the fact that in the rear of the russians, ammunition warehouses continue to explode, what do experts say, how much

does this give ukrainian weapons, the moment for that to intercept the initiative. i apologize, i didn't hear the broadcast , i couldn't repeat the question . attack the warehouses of the russian army and what do the experts say, to what extent does this give the armed forces of ukraine an opportunity to seize the initiative, so grisha, for example, we can now analyze the situation in the region

that zaporizhzhia and zaporizhzhia region were talking about earlier, local residents of zaporizhzhia region on of the occupied territory, they were able to film the movement of a log from the territory near melitopol, which was moving in the direction of the kherson region, this is a very long column, judging by the video, and there mainly in this colony there were trucks, trucks that the military usually use to transport ammunition and fuel, what does this indicate, this may indicate that the russian troops who are currently stationed in the occupied kherson region need these ammunition and fuel after the shelling of ammunition warehouses and probably also of fuel from warehouses the provision of the russian army in the region is the first point and the second point, in fact, once again zaporizhzhia, zaporizhzhia itself was called the probable next target

of the russian army after donbas, if there were russian the army managed to advance quickly and reach the administrative borders not only of luhansk but also of donetsk region quickly enough. ukraine predicted that an attack on zaporizhzhia might take place, but today, in particular, thanks to the strikes on the rear of the russian army in kherson region , as well as zaporizhia region, luhansk, donetsk, and kharkiv regions 5 regions at once, where there is actually a part of the territory of the occupied a-a actually well, the ukrainian side says that the russian army does not have the resources to go on the offensive against zaporozhye thank you very vvc correspondent zhanna basketchuk topic negotiations were held in istanbul between the turkish workers of

ukraine russia and the un delegation regarding the export of grain from ukraine the meeting was closed to the press-regime transfer start the minister of infrastructure of ukraine stated that there is a high chance of reaching an agreement on how to safely transport grain by sea and food is blocked in ukrainian ports due to the invasion of russia, we are waiting for details from turkey, and while the information is from john ind, there are many ways how exactly it would be possible take the main grain that they have always used through turkish waters through the black sea and on to the rest of the world. this is the official channel, but there are other ways, for example, you can reach the danube. grain and send it across the danube to the rest of the world, this is not a major breakthrough

, because it cannot be said that this is how all exports opened up, but it is a significant change that will allow exporting at least half a million tons grains per month, it will not change the situation dramatically , but it will somewhat relieve the tension around world food prices, because as i will use the example of sri lanka, they already have a significant impact on the whole world, but of course the main task is to completely open the black sea again . the topic of grain is involved in them, the toure side of the un, ukrainians and russians, they hope that they will be able to find a certain diplomatic solution that will allow the full export of grain and make the new route through the danube unnecessary, because if you can ferry grain through the black sea, this will dramatically change the situation, however, there are also certain problems, the russian black sea fleet is blocking the delivery, but there is also the problem of sea mines that were installed there by both sides, and they are the ones that create a high

danger for the entry and exit of ships. yesterday i spoke with the minister of infrastructure here, he told me that if an agreement is reached the mines can be removed and then the sea lanes will be cleared within weeks i hope that we will have practical results and we will see the green corridor in the black sea how long does it take to clear the green maple corridor it depends on the will of all involved but i think nazi will take weeks not months this year possible so maybe we will get an unblocked channel in the black sea in the coming weeks yes you are absolutely right it will happen maybe in the case if we get guarantees for safe navigation in the black sea everything so the russians are now holding a so-called operational pause actually they are trying to regroup in order to regain their confidence after the punitive attacks in the donbas in recent weeks, for now they are

refraining from a massive offensive operation, but active shelling continues, including rockets, as it was a time gap where more than 40 people died. therefore, we do not see an active offensive operation on the ground, but the number of destruction and deaths is growing, which we also as we see from the ukrainian side, these are attempts to create difficulties with russian logistics chains, the ukrainians are targeting russian ammunition depots, over the past few days we have seen dramas and footage of their destruction. so now both the parties are preparing for the main battle for donbas, which is likely to happen in the coming months, and are also trying to regroup and not allow the other side to do it, and as soon as it became known in istanbul, they agreed to create a coordination center for the export of grain - this is the statement of the ministry of defense of turkey, an agreement was reached on technical issues such as a joint control at the departure

and arrival points of the sport and ensuring navigational safety on minibuses on the transfer routes next week of the delegation of ukraine and russia will meet again in turkey to agree all the details and sign the relevant agreement . the press conference of the un representatives has just ended. we will wait for the details in the near future. well, now let's talk more about this topic in direct communication. director of the department of agrarian policy of the odesa regional military administration alla stoyanova. greetings . thank you for taking the time to join us, and well, the actual question is that the ukrainian side was quite optimistic about the chances that exports will be unblocked, in what way is it now it looks like the issue of blocking ports is a priority for us today, and we as regions and the country

as a whole are taking all measures to block ukrainian ports and, as you may already know, maybe not since july 10, the rapids have already opened in our country and started to enter ships to the danube delta from the other mouth. what will allow us to unload the solina canal in the coming days? i want to say that we have already succeeded in four days, we have already passed 16 ships and we will not stop this trend, and i can say that if and so on will continue, and the potential for up to 8 ships through this estuary . if this continues, then in a week we will be able to unload the solina canal, but the main issue regarding the unblocking of the large ports of the black sea equatorial region remains and er

. the situation and will not replace the situation with large ports eh, of course in recent times we eh have used alternative ways eh hmm new export channels by rail by road through the danube delta and since march we have already done 200,000 tons of grain in june 2.1 million tons of grain for export and this is not a matter of food security within our country because we produce 5-6 times more than we consume, but it is a very big issue for countries like africa , especially the northern middle east of asia where there is not enough of our grain and there is already such information that every 48 minutes a person dies of hunger in those countries, so we really hope and place

great hopes on the agreements between ukraine and turkey, the united nations and russia, and we hope that we will receive a decision within the framework of the agreement so that this decision had a legitimate reason to trust him, because for us the issue of security is a priority task. well, we must certainly talk not only about exports, but also about this year's harvest, so how does the season look now in odesa, what has been achieved, what positions have we managed to hold, what has already happened this season irretrievably lost, and the harvesting company has been very active since june 9. we have 20 million tons of grain left over from last year in our country today, and the accumulation of this year's harvest is already underway with places to store them at today it is enough because we did not get such a

shaft as we expected. but if we make 60% of last year's figure, then it is for our region, if even the country makes such a figure, it will be very good and we hope that in the country we will make 60% - this is 65 -60 e-e 8 million tons of grain and in our region e-e in general with spring and technical crops, if we produce 3 million tons of grain, it will be a very good indicator for us, the yield in the south is very low, it ranges from 10-15 thousand hectares but in the center of the odesa region and on pi and the yield is very good, 35-40% per hectare, the yield is impressive, we will harvest 100%. because there are no active hostilities going on in the region, but we constantly receive e-e rockets, for example, at night today, a

livestock complex was destroyed, they hit a rocket that hit 400 animals, rescue operations are currently ongoing, thank you very much, director of the department of agrarian policy of the odesa region, alla stoyanova, if you are the last, we the other day currencies could see an unusual picture of dollars and euros against each other, although everyone is used to that traditionally the euro is a little more expensive, but since the beginning of this year, the euro began to rapidly depreciate until it fell back to a 20-year low. why did this happen? what will be the consequences? and what to expect next, explains our economic correspondent anastasia zanoda . it happened in a rather rare condition, it was actually 20 years ago, when the euro first

entered the cash market, when cash euros were used only to settle, and then the exchange rate of the euro against the dollar grew and reached its maximum in in 2008, when well-known american investment banks began to go bankrupt, then again the euro fell slightly against the dollar, but we all got used to the fact that the euro is more expensive than the dollar, and in fact it remained so until the beginning of this year. the euro began to fall and finally actually reached parity with the dollar. why did this happen? the fact is that russia's war against ukraine is definitely involved. analysts and observers call the dependence of europe the main reason for the fall of the euro.

from russian gas from russian oil from russian energy carriers when the war began, the european union began to demonstrate its strong support for ukraine, and began to introduce sanctions together with the united states and other countries, and it was already clear that just like that for the european economy is not a sign of the european economy which at that moment was just coming out of the coronavirus crisis, the already high energy prices provoked record levels of inflation, which were already increasing more and more now, the european commission predicts that by the end of this year, inflation in the eurozone countries will exceed 6%, and on the other hand, economic growth will be less than 3%. e

europeans are receiving higher and higher figures, and in payments for communal services, they see increasingly higher prices on store shelves, and at this very moment, e gazprom announces that it will stop the e e supply of gas through the nord stream, which has now become the main channel for the supply of russian gas gas to europe, the official reason is preventive maintenance, but it is worth reminding that at this time european gas storages, which were empty during this severe winter, are usually filled up, and in europe there is already an understanding that this preventive maintenance may take longer than the official 10 days. in europe, they are already talking about political preventive maintenance. and they miss

the fact that the gas valve will never be opened, this is already being openly discussed in the european commission and in germany, which is the largest consumer of russian gas in europe. in the past, but some may say that this is actually the price that europe europeans are currently paying for their support of ukraine and for the sanctions that europe applied against russia in this conflict. it is also worth noting that there is another side to this story, this is the other side - it is the strengthening of the dollar. the fact is that during the pandemic, the united states, in order to support its economy, printed and released trillions of dollars. this, of course,

provoked inflation, which, like in europe, reached record levels in the united states and for in order to stop this process, to slow down the growth of prices, the federal reserve, the central bank of the united states, began to conduct a policy of expensive money before everything. we are becoming right now about the consequences of the depreciation of the euro, we can talk about the classical economic theory, a weak national currency allows to stimulate exports, but the fact is that the economic prospects of the european union for such a more or less

distant perspective are so gloomy that the stimulation of exports cannot compensate for all the losses that europeans are currently suffering from galloping energy prices for food and devaluation of the euro and here it is worth noting another small detail. the fact is that traditionally the prices of energy carriers are denominated in dollars, the dollar is strong, the euro is weak, and on this difference, the prices in the payments of the europeans, whom they expect in the fall, will be even higher than the expectations and are already quite pessimistic. of course, to some extent this will affect ukraine, which at the beginning of the war actually

receives all its imports from europe through europe. this simply can not help but affect those supplies that have actually become critical for ukrainians. top news events in sri lanka the president of the country fled to the maldives amid mass protests due to the economic crisis on the island he has been hiding since the crowd stormed his residence it happened on saturday and a few days ago he promised to go to resignation, when the people of sri lanka woke up this morning with the news of the escape of the president, thousands of people took to the streets of the capital, mass protests caused an economic crisis, rapid inflation led to the fact that the country lacks food , medicine and pavlov. and many blame the person himself, the former president and his government is in this situation, and while some are protesting and storming government buildings, more and more people are trying to flee the country, is this island state threatened not only by the economic crisis, but also by a

is the largest and most powerful telescope in space, and that's all for today, search for more stories as usual on our website bbc.ua on our pages at on social networks we are on the air again tomorrow at 21:00 take care glory to ukraine this is a verdict program my name is serhiy rudenko good day and good health to all today is the 140th day of ukrainian resistance to the russian occupation in the slavic direction ukrainian the military successfully repelled the assault of the occupiers in the direction of the settlements of dovgenke and dolyna, the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine informs, in addition, the green says that there is still
