the models go to the danube delta. yes, our ships are already entering the danube delta. romanian and through our ukrainian, that's why the process has already started, but of course, if we unblock it, i hope so and there will be a direct passage through the coast. the people of shila were, uh, out of order , the president and the prime minister were actually expelled from the country, one of the reasons why the population is starving. this is already a direct dependence of the russian blocking of ukrainian ports for the export of food and grain to world markets, and already unrest begins in the world studio well, in general, if we now look at these istanbul negotiations, military negotiations, yes , the delegations of ukraine, turkey, russia, the united nations, you really mentioned that ah, hmm, this process has only just begun, so we are still far from the completion of this process, and so hmm, it is far from the unblocking of ukrainian ports, the unblocking of ukrainian grain, but as far as can be considered, let's say international pressure, yes, that they will brin

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 north

is a small piece of hope through hopeful news from the south of ukraine, the far south in the danube delta, where we've heard that a new channel has been opened, that allows smaller ships to enter ukrainian ports, not the big ports which used to expose most the grain, but that specially the 1st time now since being the war, that grain has been exported by c from ukraine rather than being shipped across the borders by land. so a small bit of hope is still a huge problem and new harvest coming in and no one really with an answer to where to put all this grain on top of lost is harvest the still there in the silos waiting to be exported, waiting to reach people across the world who are really struggling with exploding prices for their bread, nick connelly, and the ukranian capital here for us. thank you so much and here's a quick look at some other stories making news around the world. a french court has dale de former senior rwandan official for 20 years after finding him guilty of complicity and genocide. moran hugo rota is the highest ranking rwandan to face trial and france. over the 1994

the danube can even be said to be slightly higher than the delta. in the direction of the romanian galaxywide russian railway track was extended as a result , it means that such a link between the two countries, along which these ukrainian goods will also go in a wider flow, is also marked by great activity. e. river courts in the areas of the ports of rini izmail, the ukrainian side even opened for a long time, uh, the former closed channel is faster as a result, it seems that all this should have been a little to intensify, but the whole problem is that the possibilities of transit are the main port of romania, the seaport of constanta, which is connected to the danube by a special shipping channel that has. uh, clear limits no ship should be more than 5,000 tons displacement. these possibilities are limited, and according to the estimates of local, so to speak, high representatives of the romanian authorities in the field of transport, including maritime transport, in order to bring the constance into such a combat-ready state, about 5 years and about uh, almost a billion euros in orde

now. shut, we have seen shipments go through romania and through the danube delta and to buy road and rail to poland. but right now ukraine is just in the low millions of tons a month. that is, you know, 2030 percent of where it would normally be and we're getting a new harvest is already being collected in the south ukraine. right. on top of the millions of tons of grain that is still in the storage unit, still unsold. so this problem is pretty acute and isn't moving very quickly. there's now a hope that ukraine can open up some new child in the daniel dealt in the far south . but again, this is just nothing that really compares to where we were before and doesn't, you know, quantitatively really make much difference. and the attacks of only intensified in the south where much of the grain is stored. is there no let up in the fighting inside? well, exactly, and review heard from ukraine's positions that they are preparing for counter offensive against russia, exactly in that southern region. and we've seen pictures of grain storage units on fire fields on fi. it's been very, very dry

the far south in the danube delta where we've heard that and you channel has been opened that allows a smaller ships to enter ukrainian ports, not the big ports which used to expose most the grain. but that's basically the 1st time. now since being the war, that grain has been exported by sea, from ukraine rather than being shipped across the borders by land. so a small bit of hope, it's still a huge problem and new harvest coming in and no one really at with an answer to where to put all this grain on top of lost is harvest the still there in the silos waiting to be exported, waiting to me a reach people across the world who are really struggling with exploding prices for their bread, nick connelly and the ukranian capital. here for us. thank you so much. and here are some other developments related to the war in ukraine. a russian opposition figure is facing up to 15 years in prison after being charged under a new law in russia that makes it a crime to spread false information about the military. ilya sion has been a critic of russia's war in ukraine. the russian back don't ask peo

and there's been some attempt to try and get the grain out by barges to the danube delta, but it's all in comparable in terms of the scale to what was in existence before. but you crane this is also a bigger thing. this is about it's access to the see in general and its ability to export anything from metals, to consumer goods, beyond the agricultural question. but i think in terms of average people and their ability to afford basics well enough. this is actually, you know, more in a deal for people in countries like as syria and lebanon, who are dependent on this ukrainian grain. because here in ukraine, as long as the ports are shut through price, they're actually going down. so this is potentially in terms of the humanitarian and in fact, something that's more of an issue for the outside world than it is for ukraine. meantime, fighting has picked up in a south of ukraine, as we've heard, where most of the grain is stored and would be shipped from. how big a risk is that? and in terms of complicating matters what exactly, i mean this is the $1000000.00 question, potentially now some

in the meantime, in the black sea at the entrance to the danube delta, there is a traffic jam from foreignd zelensky reported that eight ships had already entered the ukrainian ports of rennie izmail and ust dunaysk, the only ones operating near the independent, but desert, there were holds of foreign ships. about inspections. it is not reported probably the smell is trying to arrange this delivery point. uh, logistics point, not so much for grain. how much in order to be able to import weapons to ukraine under the guise of a grain of weapons, then, in fact, what worries russia why are we demanding to see all these in the circumstances, moscow has repeatedly stated that there is no blockade on its part, kiev has mined the approaches to to their ports and no one interferes with mine clearing and bringing grain from there to here in six ports, according to the russian ministry of defense , 70 foreign ships remain blocked. for their exit, the russian military created two humanitarian corridors. this was reported in ministry of defense, the armed forces of the russian federation created the ne

in the meantime, in the black sea entrance to the danube delta traffic jam from foreign ships.y made that eight ships had already entered the ukrainian ports of rennie izmail and ust-dunaysk, the only one operating at the square, but the holds of foreign ships were empty. about the searches it is not reported the likelihood of a smell trying to organize this item. uh, logistics point, not so much for grain. so much so that it can be imported to ukraine under the guise of a grain of weapons, that, in fact, is what worries russia. why do my people come out with a demand to see all these in circumstances, moscow has repeatedly stated that there is no blockade on its part, kiev has mined the approaches to its ports and no one is preventing them from clearing mines and bringing grain from there in six ports, according to the russian ministry of defense , 70 foreign ships remain blocked. for their release. the russian military has created two humanitarian corridors. this was told in the defense department, the armed forces of the russian federation created the necessary conditions fo

say they're increasing the export of grain through formerly disused ports and canals on the danube river deltanake island, in the black sea, means it's now safe for ships to pick up grain from the delta ports and ship it to world markets. several wildfires have swept across portugal's central region, forcing the evacuation of hundreds of people as firefighters struggled to battle the flames. some houses have burned down, and three main highways in the area have been closed. the country is suffering a heatwave, with temperatures of over a0 degrees in many parts. two people have died after a boat capsized in new york's hudson river. the victims are believed to be a seven—year—old boy and a woman in her 50s. around a dozen people were on board the boat near manhattan, a number of them are being treated in hospital. let's get all the latest sports news. hello, i'm mimi fawaz, and this is the latest sports news. it was a winning start for erik ten hag as manchester united boss as his side thrashed liverpool four 4—0 in a pre—season friendly in bangkok, thailand. jadon sancho was first to score, the

just off the danube delta where i am standing, yesterday we saw 122 cargo ships, most of them empty, that to what anna was saying, the ports here are really small, you can only get a few boats alongside them, pack them onto barges and each of those takes 1800 tonnes if you are lucky, the water level here of the danube is relatively low. it's only seven metres deep era. out in the middle of the channel, whereas here in the deep sea ports of odesa or close to here it is 19 metres. much bigger ships. the danube doing what it can, ukrainian and romania collaborating closely with moldova to get goods out on the barges and to ship them round to constanta and another romanian deep sea port but it would make a huge difference if the ukrainian export could be restored to the deep sea ports like odesa. but i'm lot of problems in the way. the collaboration is fascinating to see. between all of these countries and it makes you appreciate what goes into exporting goods during normal times let alone during times of war. presumably this is important to ukraine, notjust to the consumer but if what i
