stephanie deca reports from jackie litski. ukraine feeds the world. the words of this farms owner, victor share a meta gives us a tour on a cold march morning on the outskirts of cave. corn, wheat, barley, and where ukraine holds proposition globally for flowers, which i know that well would that a great deal gave us hope because our internal price is dropped almost 3 full during the war. but after was signed, prices rose and of course not like before the war, but they increased. and this gave us hope that we can work and sell our harvest in the future. despite this deceivingly peaceful moment, this is a country at war. and what happens in these fields has global implications. ukraine is one of the world largest produces and sunflower oil, and also wheat and grain one gets produced here an export. it has a direct effect on food prices around the world. it's one of the main reasons why this deal was brokered, the global need to bring down soaring for the prices that resulted because of the war. russia controls access in and out of the black sea, which

a disinformation, stephanie deca has borne from keith. moscow is always made it very clear that there against the increase of weaponry being sent from the west. remember, this is a conflict, not just between russia and ukraine. this is a geo political ah chess board, if you will. is one of our political unless called it recently. you have many different countries involved supplying ukraine with different types of weapons. a stepping it up recently. of course, all the talk ahead of a potential spring offensive by the ukranian army trying to push russia back and recently, just yesterday in a written statement, the u. k. a defense minister admitting that part of the challenge are 2 tanks that the u. k. will be sending at some point here to keep are going to be including armor piercing ammunition that includes depleted uranium. so this is something that vladimir putin picked up on something that sarah oliver picked up on earlier today called calling it against monetary and law. vladimir putin saying that if the west, the collective west, as he calls it, is going to use weapons with a nucl

stephanie deca had more from keith ukraine's really been asking for jack since the beginning of the war. it's significant, of course, it is the 1st time and need to ally ukrainian allies says that it is going to send for make 20 nines. there will be more in the next coming days. it's something that the allies have been discussing is something that keeps been asking for for a very long time. it is certainly a step up in the commitment of its allies when it comes to providing weaponry. it's also i've seen the arrival of some of the leper tanks and from poland as well as 9 other countries pick. you also mentioned by the us secretary of defense yesterday, secretary of state lloyd austin saying 9 countries committing to sending around a $150.00 leper tanks to ukraine and they will be arriving before the end of march . the timing of all of this is very interesting, of course, because there's a lot of talk that ukraine is planning a counter offensive. as the weather is getting warmer as the ground is thawing. certainly this is a welcome move from poland. it will be welcomed here in kids. and a

well, let's now get the perspective from ukraine and speak to stephanie deca. she's and keith. steph, i see this is unsurprising. the being hail bit into absolutely, we've had reactions and particularly from the ukranian prosecutor general, very much involved in this. i'm giving evidence and paperwork directly to the i. c . c. hailing this, saying that over $16000.00 children cases they have investigating and believing there would be much more and saying this was the beginning, perhaps a of some form of accountability. you've had also the head of the presidential office saying this is just the beginning and other advisor to the president's office. ha, i highlighting the legal procedures that are now in place. and basically saying that russians officials to the highest level will now be held to account and that the world has changed. not surprising, of course, at this is being huge. you welcome do key. it's hugely significant. the label now put on the head of the, of the brush and president, a restaurant from the i. c. c, potentially war crimes, a potentially cr

stephanie deca as more now from keith, a ukrainian military saying that 16 out of 21 drones were shot out of the sky era. sirens did sound the ukrainian president, calling it quoting the murderous drones and referring to the russian president vladimir putin and saying, well, as he talks of peace, the orders are given for these kinds of attacks. it's the 1st time certainty that there has been a hit on a residential building in the surrounding areas of the capitol. since december. will the attack in the key region was followed by another russian missile strike on 2 residential buildings in zap, morisha. at least one persona was killed. the cranium president vladimir valencia condemned the attack. at least 25 people were taken to hospital. all the 29 story buildings were hit and in russian occupied crimea. officials say the navy repelled a drone attack on the port of sebastopol, eula, shop of oliver as mona. from moscow. the morning attempt to hit russian targets in crimea and 7 topple with 3 drones. all devices were destroyed by 2 women offices, both well received state awards. so this

stephanie deca reports from keith. it's a deal that is vital to when it comes to calming global food prices in particular, which is why it was really pushed out to be, you know, i implemented ukraine is one of the world's biggest supplier of wheat, 49 percent of sunflower oil, wheat, and grains going global really also supplying things like the world food program which then filters that through to places like yemen and somalia and south to dance and gives you an indication of just how global the reach of this deal is. malawi has declared a state of disaster after a powerful storm hit the country for a 2nd time. in less than 3 weeks tropical cyclone freddy, unleashed more powerful whims and torrential rain over the weekend. at least 100 people have died in malawi and in laboring mozambique. and those that headlines that he's continues here on al jazeera after the stream, which is coming up next in the face of a cost of living crisis, the u. k. chancellor is set to announce his spring much it, but with thousands of civil

this tragedy were and do everything in our power to make sure it never happens again. algebra, stephanie deca has more on the disaster. it was dark when the 2 trains collided had on at high speed or but m a gl obama with them or we heard a big bang 10 nightmarish seconds. we were turning over in the wagon until we fell on our sides and until the commotion stopped, there was panic cables, fire. the fire was immediate. as we were turning over, we were being burned. fire was right and left greek rescue workers or at the accident site and searching for survivors. those who made it out, we're still coming to terms with what happened. kudos to guide on the more people naturally whiskey and was very scared that they were looking around searching. so they didn't know where they were. on our logo. one was a passenger train carrying around 350 people. it departed athens around 7 30 in the evening, traveling to their salo nikki. the collision happened with a cargo train outside the city of larissa in central greece. the cause of the crash remains unclear. stephanie decker, i'll g 0. nigeria electoral co

stephanie deca has more from keith. the kremlin has made it very clear that they don't consider the arrest warrant by the international criminal court in any way, legal or, or valid. yasandra 23 countries can arrest a russian president if he visits there. it's certainly not going to be in crimea or maro pole which is now under russian occupation. they annexed crimea in 2014, which is why putin made his appearance there to mark those 9 years. and mario poll, which is a city that endured the most horrific of seizures in the course of this war. just 3 days ago, was the anniversary you may remember of a theatre bombing deadly theatre bombing. we're civilians were sheltering that killed hundreds of civilians that was on the 16th of march, 2022. so now you see vladimir putin driving himself round the city. and i know so i think a statement there to the international community that he remains very much ah, the power house that he is and doesn't take the arrest warrant seriously. talking about reconstruction of a city, a city t

stephanie deca has one out from keith. it's a deal that is vital to when it comes to calming global food prices in particular, which is why it was really pushed out to be, you know, implemented ukraine is one of the world's biggest supplier of wheat, 49 percent of sunflower oil, wheat, and grains going global really also supplying things like the world food program which then filters that through to places like yemen and somalia and south to dod. so it gives you an indication of just how global the reach of this deal is. a group of israeli protested, trying to block the road, leading to the prime minister's office half to parliament passed the 1st reading of a controversial bill to overhaul the judiciary. now if it becomes law, parliament would be able to strike down decisions by the supreme court. with a simple majority, it will need to pass a 2nd. and 3rd reading australia has announced that will buy at least 3 us manufactured nuclear submarines. as part of the security alliance, which also includes the u. k. beijing has

stephanie deca has more from keith. moscow is always made it very clear that there against the increase of weaponry being sent from the west. remember, this is a conflict, not just between russia and ukraine. this is a geo political, ah chessboard, if you will, is one of our political unless called it recently. you have many different countries involved supplying ukraine with different types of weapons. a stepping it up recently. of course, all the talk ahead of a potential spring offensive by the ukranian army trying to push russia back and recently, just yesterday in a written statement, the u. k. defense minister admitting that part of the challenge are 2 tanks that the u. k. will be sending at some point here to keep are going to be including armor piercing ammunition that includes depleted uranium. so this is something that vladimir putin picked up on it something that's how our lab work picked up on earlier today. we're calling it against humanitarian law. vladimir putin saying that if the west, the collective west, as he calls it, is going to use weapons with a nuclear capability

now, this is russia's presidential commission of children's rights. algeria, stephanie deca brings us more on this now from keith go. russia doesn't mit that it's taken children. it says it's done that under humanitarian causes. many of the children have gone either into state institutions, either been adopted by families. most of the children from what we understand were either taken from state institutions here in ukraine and occupy terry 2 in russia, occupied it, orphanages also when their parents were arrested. they were forcibly taken from their parents and taken across the border either into state institutions has been investigations that show these children learning russian singing the russian national anthem at school. other investigations that have taken place show that they've been adopted by russian families. some of them quite happily. others aware of what's happened to them, but certainly it is a very murky and complicated case that is now under the international spotlight. john is present, gigi bang will travel to russia next week. the official trip follows an offer by c

well, that's now speak to stephanie deca. she is following developments for us from keith steph. given that moscow is only willing to extend this feel for 60 days, how's that going over there? while ukraine is saying that this is a breach of the deal, the deal is supposed to be extended under its terms for a 120 days. ukraine is saying is going to stick to that. russia's issue with the deal. according to moscow is that the part that affects it and protects its export . it's not being upheld because of the effect that sanctions are having on things like logistics and payments and even insurance. and this is delaying their export of fertilizers and also grain and wheat. of course, it gives it some leverage over ukraine because part of the deal, the deal is basically that russia allows ukrainian ships to pass through the black sea into the boss. for us. there have been complaints from key about delays of ships delays and checking them, saying that moscow is doing this on purpose to increase shipping costs. either way, those talks continue. there was a feeling that this will be exten

stephanie deca has one alpha key. well, it's a relentless fight between the 2 sides. dragging on for almost 8 months now. around what is a small mining town? essentially it's become so significant. symbolically and politically. it seems for both sides that no one is willing to back down there. husband pressure mounting a little bit on the ukrainians on, on. keep here saying while you know, because the casualties are also mounting on the ukrainian side. is it worth it to her? there was talk about with potentially retreating and presidents lensky has in the last 10 days, may to specific statements to that effect of saying absolutely not. it is vital, we keep it, it is vital to hold the front and that he has the backing of the military commanders on the front line stretches extensively from the north to the south of this country. very much in the east about boot is really where the eyes are of the world of the media and also the politics are on the bloodiest battle. it is almost 8 months now. it's become trench warfare s

stephanie deca has worn out from keith last has been complaining that the part of the deal that affect it is not being upheld also concerning its exports. saying that sanctions apply to things like not directly to its industry, but things like payments, insurance and logistics are affecting its exports, which is why its been dragging its feet on this. but now off to those 2, suggesting that it will extend the deal for half of what it is set to do is supposed to be extended under the agreement for a $120.00 days. it's now saying it will agree to do so for 6 to the reaction from here is that this is something that means that the deal may need to be renegotiated because russia is not adhering to its part. now, this is a lot of back and forth clustering politically, but i think it looks like certainly at the moment if you speak to and the said it looks like this deal will be extended. the deadline is on saturday, march 18th, it's a deal that is vital to when it comes to calming global food prices in particular, which is why it was really pushed to be, you know, implemented ukraine is one o
