shortages around the world due to the fighting. the world foodt africa are facing acute food shortages because of the fighting in ukraine. staying with that story now: food prices across the world have climbed since the russian invasion of ukraine — and the disruption of black sea wheat exports. some parts of the world are reeling under the pressure — like the middle east — where bread is a primary dietary staple. the threat to wheat and grain supplies has historically brought riots and international organisations including the world bank warn that the current food crisis could trigger similar waves of social unrest. sally nabilfrom cairo and carine torbey from beirut have been looking at the situation in two countries in the region worst hit by wheat shortages. it is nearly the end of wheat harvest in egypt. egypt is often the world's largest importer of wheat. nearly 80% of its wheat imports come from russia and ukraine. the war in ukraine disrupted the supply line. local production here can't feed a population of over 100 million. the governme

the world. nearly 16 million ukrainians alone urgently need humanitarian assistance, while the head of the world foodan 80 million people in east africa face acute food shortages as a result of a blockade of ukrainian ports. president biden described the situation as "putin's price hike". he said ukraine had 20 million tonnes of grain it hadn't been able to export. meanwhile, president putin says russia is ready to guarantee the safe export of ukrainian grain, via ports on the azov and black seas. he was speaking after talks in sochi with the head of the african union, who told him that africa was suffering because of its reliance on ukrainian, and russian cereals and fertiliser. translation: you're quite welcome to export wheat i via seaports under ukrainian control, first of all, the black sea ports — 0desa and the nearby ports. we didn't mind the ukrainian ports. it was ukraine. i've told our colleagues many times — let them clear the mines so the ships loaded with wheat can leave these ports. we will guarantee their safe passage with no problems. a former top white house official has been arreste

this means that we have the risk of not delivering food to a point in the world where it is food todays urgently needed either to deliver, but twice as expensive according to our experts maritime practice costs twice as much. container transportation costs twice as much to insure the cargo. you have to put in a lot of effort on top of that. given the sanctions, we now have the problem of government payments. and it will also take a certain amount of time to level these risks. in addition, colleagues, the restrictions that were associated with the supply of russian energy carriers led to the fact that the cost of gas multiplied. this means that in some countries it is simply not possible to produce fertilizers. and russian or belarusian fertilizers. it is also necessary to deliver key grain to the regions producing by example. thus, against the backdrop of climate risks, which andrey aleksandrovich spoke about. do you know that in the twenty-first year, a drought was recorded in latin america, which also affected the supply of food on the food market; lead to the fact that yields are fa

civilians killed in strikes on kharkiv, and other areas of the donbas and the distribution of food from ukraine to the rest of the worlder sergei lavrov has arrived in turkey for talks aimed at unblocking the export of grain, and other agricultural products. russia has been accused of weaponising food supplies by blockading ukrainian ports, which the un says is increasing the risk of famine in parts of the developing world. meanwhile, uber has partnered with the un world food programme to help it deliver emergency food and water supplies in war—torn cities of ukraine. our technology editor zoe kleinman reports. in some parts of ukraine, it's getting harder and harder to access food and water, but in a warzone big delivery trucks can also be big targets, so now the united nations world food programme is trying out a new way of delivering emergency supplies using a fleet of smaller vehicles. it's building its own delivery network using uber software and even some of its drivers. they can designate vehicles that are on board to the programme and they have got the same dispatch technology, they can track the food, etc. it

i want to get to how the five billion dollars will help emergency food situation around the world. before that, i have a question about odessa. and the russian ports. i know it was covered a little bit already. if you could dig down more deeply on what will happen to food insecurity around the world, if we do not unblock those ports. some people are saying, we can use the land routes. obviously, we want to do our best. tell us what will happen, if, i think it's over 30 million tons of wheat, it's stuck, in those ukrainian ports. what does that mean for world hunger? >> ukraine, normally ships about 60 million metric tons through those ports. on an annual basis. that's about 3000 train carloads per day. you cannot truck enough out. you cannot do it. you can check out 1 million metric tons a month, on a good day. even then, you are talking about $120 more per metric ton, and so it puts it out of the market. in terms of pricing. ukraine grows enough food to feed 400 million people. it's not just availability of food pricing, of food, it's just food pricing. it will do more harm to the

so tell us if you would, how you see, you know, how we go forward on the matter of food shortages. the world food progr would, how you see, you know, how we go forward has now put forward a five point plan that it wants the g seven to adopt. and in fact, the g seven will be meeting next week under german leadership and the first point in this program is, uh as as the world food program says, political solutions to end and the first point in this program is, uh as conflict now and relax the blockade of black sea ports that is a very tall order. is it feasible? um it is, it is a very tall order. but first that is a very tall order. is it feasible? um of all, on the multiplier effect. yes. so the crisis predated, you know, the war in ukraine. so, energy prices and food prices and, you know, the whole problem of climate change, of course, all of that existed even before russia invaded ukraine. but of course, the envision has made it much worse. so, what can we do in the immediate future? of course, we ne to unblock those deliveries from ukraine. i mean, they're stuck in the ports and and, you kn

and the 1st point in this program is as, as the world food program says, political solutions to n conflict now and relax the blockade of black see ports that is a very tall order. is it feasible? it is, it is of a toyota. but 1st of all, on the multiply effect. yes. so the crisis pre dated in the war and ukraine. so energy prices and food prices and, you know, the whole problem of time of change, of course, all of that existed, even before russia invaded ukraine. but of course, the invasion has made it much worse. so what can we do in the immediate future? of course we need to unblock those deliveries from ukraine. i mean, they're stuck in the ports and, and you know, and, and it's a tragedy even ukrainians cannot store anything anymore because all the storage facilities are full. so that is something we can do that that can pick very quickly . and so the big challenge is to re i silos on the border for exactly. exactly, and most importantly, to let ships leave the port and the apparently that's one ship that left yesterday, the port of maria pull a turkish ship and one doesn't know whethe

and the distribution of food from ukraine to the rest of the world continues to be a problem. export of grain, and other agricultural products. russia has been accused of weaponising food supplies by blockading ukrainian ports, which the un says is increasing the risk of famine in parts of the developing world. us tech firm uber has partnered with the united nations world food programme to help it deliver emergency food and water supplies in war—torn cities of ukraine. it's built the organisation a free version of the software it uses to co—ordinate its own delivery services — and it's being trialled in the city of dnipro. the bbc�*s technology editor, zoe kleinman, reports. in some parts of ukraine, it's getting harder and harder to access food and water. but in a war zone, big delivery trucks can also be big targets. so now, the united nations world food programme is trying out a new way of delivering emergency supplies using a fleet of smaller vehicles. it's building its own delivery network using uber�*s software, and even some of its drivers. they can designate vehicles t

can the us step in where the world food program can, think about the challenges if there's a change in political control in washington for usaid. >> first of all the world food program money, most of it, the majority of it comes from the united states so that is usaid's prime partner, it is the same challenge the united states face which is in a seive need, what is the right now location, yes, we have this infusion of resources from congress, how grateful we are and bipartisan and i will come to that in the political question but how do you pace yourself knowing the needs now are going to be dramatically greater even by september and just for a second to give you one example of that, kenya, somalia and ethiopia, 16.7 million people today dependent on food assistance along lines provided by wsb, thanks again to american funding, that number is likely to increase by 20 million people by september in those 3 countries, that is not even sudan and so many other parts of sub-saharan africa and beyond. looking at a universe of needs we just announced 330 one million dollars at the summit of t

this means that the risks of undersupply of food to the world market will increase.s will go up even stronger, which threatens to starve, especially in the poorest countries. and this will be entirely on the conscience of the administration of the united states and the euro-bureaucracy. once again emphasized that the problem appeared not today, not in the last three or four months and absolutely exactly it arose through no fault of russia, as some demagogues now say, trying to shift the responsibility for everything that happens in the world economy to our country. well, of course, we could have been pleased to hear that we are so mighty and all powerful. we blow inflation there to the sky, and in the west, in the usa, in europe, we are doing something else there that makes everyone in a fever, maybe it would be nice for us to feel such power, but this is not true, the situation has matured for years. spurred on by the short-sighted by the actions of those who are accustomed to solving their problems at someone else's expense, who relied and still rely on the mechani

i want to get to how the $5 billion will help the emergency food situation around the world. before that i have a question about odessa and the russian ports. if you could dig down more deeply on what will happen of food insecurity around the world if we don't unblock those ports, some people are saying we could use the land routes and obviously we want to do our best, but mr. beasley, tell us what will happen if, i think it's over 30 million tons of wheat stuck in the ukrainian ports. what is that mean for world hunger? >> ukraine shifts about 60 million metric tons through those ports on an annualized basis. that's about three thighs it -- 3000 train carloads. you can't truck enough out, you can't do it, you might could truck out one million metric tons a month on a good day at best. even then, you're talking about $120 more per metric ton, so puts it out of the market in terms of pricing. so the port is open. ukraine gross enough food to feed 400 million people. it's not just availability of food pricing, it's also food pricing. that is going to do more harm to the poorest

step in where the world food program camped? and how do you think about the challenges change in political control in washington? >> i would say first of all the world food program money, the majority of it comes from the united states. that is actually prime partner. i think the world food program is a same challenge we the united states say switches in a sea of need. what is the right allocation? yes we have this infusion of resources from congress for which again cannot stress how grateful we are and bipartisan i will come to that in the context of your political question. how do you also pace yourself knowing the needs now are going to be dramatically greater even just by september to divert for a second to give you one example of that kenya, somalia, ethiopia their 16.7 million people today dependent on food assistance along lines of that that's provided. thanks again to american funding. that number is likely to increase by 20 million people by september and those three countries ethiopia, somalia, kenya at sunday to south

you once again, russia started a war and blocked the sea now the world is in danger because ukrainian farmers cannot sell millions of tons of foodh millions of people in dozens of countries around the world rely on, and this is the kind of blackmail that moscow offers to solve this way. omits that the real topic of the meeting was turkey's actions in syria, the betonchez of ukraine, together with its partners, continues to talk about the possibility of creating this international mission to unblock of sea exports, and the united nations warns of the threat of a food crisis in the world due to a grain shortage, the secretary general of the organization stated that ukraine accounts for about a third of the world's production of wheat and barley and more than half of sunflower oil, and president zelenskyi said that ukraine is negotiating with the un about the export of grain, including by rail through the eu countries, but it is about small volumes, will ukrainian wheat become another tool of the russian-ukrainian war about this is further in the plot and ukraine has no other way out but to unblock the ports for grain export , the

the world. uber teams up with the united nations, by using its ride hailing app to deliver emergency food and water across ukraine. the cost of war. the world bank warns the conflict in ukraine could hit the global economy for years to come. and the european union takes a bite out of apple and others, by insisting phone makers must use the same cable charger by 202a. hello and welcome. let's start with the war in ukraine, because the conflict has left millions stuck inside their homes without many crucial supplies. as a potential solution to the humanitarian crisis, uber has teamed up with the united nations world food programme to help it deliver emergency food and water supplies in war—torn cities across ukraine. it's built the organisation a free version of the software it uses to co—ordinate its own delivery services, and it's being trialled in the city of dnipro. the bbc�*s tech editor zoe kleinman reports. in some parts of ukraine, it's getting harder and harder to access food and water, but in a war zone, big delivery trucks can also be big targets, so now, the united nations world food prog

the world. they said nearly 16 million ukrainians urgently needed humanitarian assistance. the head of the world foodd there were more than 80 million people acutely food insecure, acutely hungry in africa, up from about 50 million people this time last year. speaking at the white house on the rising cost of living, president biden described the crisis as "putin's price hike". he said ukraine had 20 million tonnes of grain it hadn't been able to export. but president putin says russia is ready to guarantee the safe export of ukrainian grain via ports on the azov and black seas it controls. he denied moscow was preventing ukrainian ports from exporting grain. mr putin was speaking after talks in sochi with the head of the african union, who told him that africa was an indirect economic victim because of its reliance on ukrainian and russian cereals and fertiliser. translation: you're quite welcome to export wheat via seaports - under ukrainian control, first of all, the black sea ports — 0desa and the nearby ports. we didn't mind the ukrainian ports. it was ukraine. i've told our colleagues many times

tell us if it are of food shortages, the world food crap program has now put forward a 5 point plan that it wants to g 7 to adopt. and in fact, the g 7 will be me as, as the world food program says, political solutions to an conflict now and relax the blockade of black sea ports. that is a face of a toyota, but 1st of all, on the multiplier effect. yes. so the crisis pre dated in the war and ukraine. so energy prices and food prices are ukraine. but of course the envision has made it much worse. so what can we do in the immediate future? of course we need to unblock that. it's a tragedy even ukrainians cannot store anything anymore because all the storage facilities are full. so that is something we can do that that could pick very quickly. most importantly, to let ships leave the port and the apparently that's one ship that left yesterday . the port of maria pull away, so it's possible, but you know that it's part of the huge problem of the whole war, logistical countries in the war and grooms. and i'm, frankly, i'm not able to solve this problem. a part of the biggest, bigger problem.

crisis, germany is going also the show will show you how russia tries to leverage its position on the world food market. as millions of level are threatened by hunger and new technologies and the future of flying have long been the focal points of the berlin air show. but in the ukraine war priorities have shift on chris kolber brought him to the program. certain industries in germany have to shut down. the economy minister says, should there not be enough russian gas come winter? russia has already cut supplies delivered through the baltic sea north stream pipeline, and could decide to keep the taps completely closed after scheduled maintenance work in july is over. meanwhile, a discussion is gathering momentum. brother, germany should extend the lifetime of its remaining nuclear power plants hook, ashima 2011, an earthquake trigger it tsunami. it destroys a nuclear power plant. the accident shakes the world leading to fears the same could have been elsewhere. the accident also prompts germany to exit from nuclear power earlier than plant if you hear guns often as a proponent of the peaceful us

all, nevertheless, the head of the italian foreign ministry called today to stop the world grain war. the growth of foodhe world associated with conflicts, the climate crisis, covid quarantine and disruptions in the supply of mineral fertilizers are sharply inflating prices, and how can one not remember that belarus has always insisted on the priority of food security, as moreover, throughout the entire period of its independence, our country worked on solving these issues with the most effective result. those who have not smelled this bread will never understand. e that you need to have your own everything you need to have your own what we are capable of, it develops brains, it raises the nation, it raises people. this gives them the opportunity to earn. for some reason, some people think that complete food security and six billion dollars worth of annual food exports have dropped our demand for food from the sky. food in the world. growing peasant labor will always be today, about a billion people are starving. it's good that we have almost 100% food for ourselves, except for these bananas and other t

news of alexander's economy without restoring stable supplies of russian fertilizers the world faces a protracted foode at the un tell us how it will develop corn and wheat on rice will continue this theme. vaughn created two working groups to return to the world food market from russia ukraine as well as russian fertilizers in the organization fear that in the absence of an agreement on this issue for a long time becomes a global food crisis. and ukrainian food production ukrainian food, as well as food and fertilizer from russia, should be returned to world markets without fertilizer shortages. switch from corn and wheat to all major crops, including rice, which will deal a devastating blow to billions of people in asia and south america , this year's crisis is caused by reduced availability, but next year's crisis will be related to food shortages if russian belarusian fertilizers do not return to the market next sowing world. the present threatens, a food disaster is sure, and the sanctions obsession prevents it from being prevented, according to the estimates of the organization's analysts. there

ukraine and at the same time they are saying that we need to find ways to export food from ukraine if we we have food inside ukraine, why shouldn't we buy it? and those foods that the worldd program is trying to bring to ukraine. why not send them immediately to syria, ethiopia, and the countries that need this food right now? i also believe that we need to start factories and markets inside again it will be in the interests of ukraine's national security by providing such humanitarian aid. we will multiply every dollar that america gives because we will create jobs and help ukrainians feed themselves, as well as many representatives those who testified at these hearings stated that they criticized the logistics of aid for ukraine and claimed that it is possible to help ukraine by being directly on the ground, recruiting directly in ukraine, and not by solving the issue somewhere on the territory of a third country, so there was also a lot of criticism towards the united nations the nation directly, edward gramp, a representative of the charity organization wallet seventh - said that he and his representatives did not particularly see the representation of the organizati

we advocate for the world to have unhindered access to russian fertilizers and food, which is extremely important for stabilizing world markets in the current situation in the world, a three-pronged crisis is flaring up in the field of food , energy and finance, which threatens the most vulnerable people, countries and economies. a perfect storm threatens developing countries, with many countries are considering significant cuts in aid, this is worrisome. since it has dire consequences for the most vulnerable segments of the population, if we do not have access to fertilizers in 2023, crops will drop critically, add the possibility of continued conflict between russia and ukraine, this will mean a third of the world's crop of grains and 2/3 of sunflowers. this will lead to an increase in the number of chronically malnourished people by another 18 million. such a trend. we are already watching. head of the world food program he said that 323 million people may face hunger by the end of the year, they report crops country by country a third less than they will harvest in moldova and this
