enough. to developing countries that are going through our serve themselves and trying to change the sound fair system maybe it was free and maintain fifty's and nineteen sixty s. but different for here in the more. russia is finally lifting its grain export ban as drought and flooding threaten crops from europe to the us more costs and you need the business desk you know what's changed to allow shipping to resume now well kelly perry of the russian government is saying the country has enough grain storage and apparently now been lifted the ground has been in place since last summer after the worst drought in a decade strongly hit the russian crops russia was the worst second biggest which exporter and has been definitely contributor to global cereal prices surging to record highs lifting of the ban raises hopes that record breaking prices could fall
2:18 am
however exports from russia are unlikely to be record so far it may take time for shipments to resume so concerns about crops around the world a significant price drop should be expected in the future in ten minutes. thanks for that. well as you will prices rise to painful levels for most consumers any access to cheap gas has become very tempting for world leaders america is keen to tap it so shall gas eyeing up poland's massive stocks as well it could be a boost for europe's energy self-sufficiency but there's a big price to pay which over reports. it's cheap it's readily available and it's made in the united states washington has hailed shale gas as the next best thing and energy development over the past five years the u.s.
2:19 am
has invested billions of dollars into the filter bringing cheap energy to consumers chill deposits lie deep underground and unlike natural gas chambers widely available in the u.s. which means the country doesn't have to depend on overseas imports go out for a shell revolution stemmed from high gas prices the main question right now is how will the shale gas industry survive now the gas prices are one hundred two hundred fifty dollars a barrel which is four times less than they were five years ago when shell development began. another potential class of shale of course is stopping countries on russia which supplies most of europe with natural gas rights now it's more whole then facts and we have really to think realistically about this source of energy we don't want to think of the terms of cause in russia like america have thought some are already suggesting that it shale deposits are

2:21 am
is lots of chilled gases extracted by hydro fracking but mean special chemicals are out into the water to break up the rock formation. of these chemicals are kept secret by the companies in the united states and claim it's a commercial secret dark water laced with chemicals ends up in drinking water so shell gas development poses a serious threat to the environment and health. chill gas may be fast on its way to becoming a total game changer on the u.s. markets but like any seeming miracle cure show gas may prove yes and out of full and dangerous economy it's been a great show of art she. looked out some other world news this hour a series of bombings in nigeria have killed at least ten people in danger dozens of others several explosions went off near an army barracks. last happened from a small taste. of the country's capital the attacks happened just hours after
