With a story about how classic car owners turning their vehicles electron, ah ships full of ukrainian wheat may soon be safely sailing across the black sea. After moscow and keep signed a deal to reopen ukraines paws. The agreement was broken by turkey and the United Nations and both parties were their monitor shipments. Ukrainian president Vladimir Zalinski says his countrys re, to export 20000000 tons last years harvest, which will help ease global Food Shortages said on car surely has more from a stumble. Ukraine and russia have finally reached an agreement to ship millions of tons of grain and fertilizer to the rest of the world. Un secretary general antonia gutierrez, the architect of the deal, has praised the 2 countries for setting aside. They are defensive and let there be no doubt. This is an agreement for the wolves. It will bring relief for developing countries on the edge of bankruptcy, and the most Vulnerable People on the edge of famine. The initiative we just signed opens the best for significant volumes of commercial for the export from city key ukrainian ports in the black sea or their sir chevron asked and used me. The shipment of grain and food stocks in will, markets will help bridge the global food supply gap and reduce pressure on eye prices. Since russia invaded ukraine in february, global foot prices have increased and several countries are facing famine. Turkey which helped facilitate this occurred. Well host a joint coordination and control center in a stumble to oversee the grain exports is thumb well the at what we all know that there will be no loses in a just pace. I sincerely wish that this joint step that were taking today in east and bold with the russian and ukrainian sides will be a new turning point that will revive hopes for pace. No matter which way the developments in the field take the will will eventually end at the negotiating table. As guarantor as the u. N and turkey have signed 2 separate agreements, one with russia and one with ukraine. President ial advisors, makalya po dolock, has emphasized that key is obligations are only to the u. N. And turkey. While defense ministers, target sugar has promised moscow one take advantage of the deal. The parties have agreed that Russian Naval ships will not accompany vessels into ukrainian ports, and if necessary, the cargo will be jointly inspected in turkish waters. Bringing russia and ukraine together has been no, is the fee. Its a diplomatic high point for antonio gutierrez. It is 5 years as you and secretary general, but in order to achieve its goal of eliminating hunger, the agreements will need to be executed and full. Thats why hell be monitoring procedures closely. Seen empty, solo al jazeera, a stumble. Well, the deal calls for a joint control center to be set up in a stumble which will schedule shipments. Ukrainian vessels will guide the grain ships are 3 waters containing mines in and out of port. Russia agrees also attack the shipments as they move turkey with the support of from the United Nations. Well inspect the ships, the eas, any russian concerns about weapons smuggling, the agreement or last 4 months and be renewed automatically. Now, early my colleagues, i how rahman spoke to the un secretary general, antonia gutierrez, about the deal he thinks is a promising step towards piece. Nobody believes that its all would ever happen. And to throw caesar with a lot of commitment with a lot of support with the very strong, a partnership with turkey that on these has been extremely, extremely useful. We finally came to an agreement, a very detailed agreement, and a very clear agreement with the responsibilities of russia, ukraine, turkey, and un. And so it is my belief that these agreement, together with the what is now a open attitudes that was expressed by the United States and by the European Union to make sure that the fact that there is no food and certainty eliza sanctions related to the russian exports, it can be materialized that i expect that to, that increases substantially increase based on the ukrainian ur grains and based on russian food and 30 lasers can make a lot of difference in international markets. Again, ill bring paces down and can support developing countries that are now in the leapt subtlety that emetic situation after the coffee after the uneven a recovery that we have witness. And a that simply have no money to provide to their people with the high prices of food and energy. I believe that its, he needs us of russia. Its either in the this of ukraine to make these a success. And my hope is the hope that indeed these will be understood. And these will be seen by both countries as an important contribution to humanity. Its not about the interests of russia, ukraine. Its about humanity at the present moment. And of course, from the point of view of the situation of, or of the ukrainian farmers which silos full with the new art of us coming with the impossibility to farm again are, these was absolutely essential. And i think its a win win situation. Its a win for the euclidean farmers, and its a win for worlds. You give me the overview their secretary general, so lets start to em. Picket the war continues in ukraine. How relieved are you that this method of transport via the water, via the sea, is the solution that youve been looking for . Because obviously its been negotiated, as you say, very delicately knowing that ukraines road and rail network is really not up to up to the mark. Well, 1st of all i seek this is the demonstration in a. Busy world where so many people her just, sir, that make her spectacular announcements and tried to have a media protagonist and forget about the consequences of that. These is the demonstration that discreetly plumbers is still works, that its possible to work behind the scenes with the parties are with the commitment of making them agree on something that is essential for humanity. So that is the 1st point id like to make. And then i think it is a very relevant to say that her, from the point of view of the management of the situation, we, the jointer center adjoined to coordination, centered with the 4 entities. And we, the inspections by the 4 entities of sheeps going in and out, which sheeps permanently controls the. I think these as created the precedence of cooperation. And i hope this president s will, are paved the way edits will. Busy probably not be immediate, it will take time. It will be complex, but it will pave the way for one day peace to be possible and peace in line. We have International Law and un chart that case has anger farms. 15000 hacked as of wheat and barley just south of cave. He is skeptical about Russia Holding up his end of the bargain. Im relieved, you know, but i still also have a feeling of so lets wait and see whats going to happen. You know, the russians dont have the best reputation in keeping their work their way to see, but for a started release and we have to stay positive, you know, and if this, if this deal stays in fact, and it really gets implemented, that it will be a huge relief for us in your brain for hours, because then we can, we can start really exporting our, our crops again to the people in the, personally, we were lucky that we sold most of our growth before russia started this war on your brain. So but over the last 45 months, the export is like 4000. 00 tons of for. And normally that would have taken us like one week with our sorts or more, less energy. And we are now filling them as we speak. Im sitting here in our office, i just came from the fields and we are seeing when to read at the moment. There was a few of our bonds are already full again with into read and with barley week ago. And it would be nice to get exported, you know, because we are also running out of money. So wed also need this for our cash flow, you know, to pay the salary, salary of the workers and to pay for diesel for, to continue thing and already to put the next grub into the soil in august. So his present running kind of thing has been criticized from violent crack down and Anti Government protest is demonstrations that had been occupying the area surrounding the presence of the secretary in colombo. Hundreds of heavily armed soldiers and Police Commanders assaulted members of the public. Police said they had no alternative, no fernandez now, reports from columbus.

With this condemnation of the governments actions was harsh and swift. I operate on renelle. You are not too big for us off to taken the oath as president. You started with oppression. You started by warning, the people walk mom and we will respond to your oppression. Your threats and your fogged peacefully and democratically, well, a marable era, noisy, the use of armed forces to suppress civilian demonstrations on the new president s 1st deign office is despicable. The center for policy alternatives is called on become a singer to issue a public apology. Insured an independent investigation and revoke the state of emergency. The u. N. Has added its voice to the criticism. Use of force against peaceful protested wrongs contrary to International Law. And we urge all parties to immediately hope the use of such force. All sri lankan have the right to freedom of expression, Peaceful Assembly and the right to participate in public affairs. The president was busy swearing in his new Prime Minister and cabinet. The commission has re appointed the same people who served under the raj boxes, prompting claims that hes acting as a proxy for the family. For justice say they dont want another raj, epoxy in power. But the actions of the new president suggests he comes from the same mold. They say they wont stop their campaign till ronnie vicar missing her resigns minute fernandez. R 0, colombo.

Steve bannon refused to comply the congressional order to testify about the capital insurrection. Rosen jordan reports from washington dc. Steve bannon was the man who whispered in president Donald Trumps ear and they both believed that j ban on the right to ignore a call to testify before the january 6th committee. On friday, a federal jury need it fewer than 3 hours to decide that by doing so, ben and broke the law in the Closing Argument that the prosecutor missed one very important phrase. Right. I stand with tromp and the constitution and i will never back off that ever. The january 6th committee had wanted to know just how much band and knew about trumps plans to disrupt the certification of the 2020 president ial election and staying in office. As a result, it wasnt asking for information about the attack on the capital itself. Even so, said man and not only refused to testify, he also refused to share any documents or communications with the panel.

Rosalind jordan l jazeera, the governor of california has signed a gun law allowing people to sue anyone who distributes a legal assault weapons. Its the 1st law of its kind in the u. S. The measures modeled after a controversial law in texas, which is allows people who facilitate abortions to be sued. Low suits all possible for anyone who provides parts used to build weapons or guns without serial numbers. Pretty good. Seems that Legal Counsel to the Brady Campaign to prevent con violence . It says the new law will likely be challenged by gun love. Yes. But should be upheld by the Supreme Court. There is nothing in this law that would take any one guns for them. And frankly, even this Supreme Court said in a recent decision, the only thing the 2nd amendment protects is the right for someone to carry a handgun to protect themselves. So nothing about these military assault type weapons, it will be the National Rifle association. It will be im sure, various state governors, if they have what again and law legal standing, the ability to challenge it if theyre outside of california, i presume the manufacturers of these weapons in california. Well challenge this. And so i think thats inevitable when texas passed it flawed, which didnt have the state prosecuting individuals connected with abortions, but instead empowered citizens was seen as a digital anti opportunity to sue a fellow citizen for anything involving an abortion. There were a lot of questions whether that would pass legal muster, but our United StatesSupreme Court said it did. It seemed like a scam to circumvent what should have been the normal process of having a state enforced the laws. But thats not what happens and govern. Newsome said, well, if thats the case, there is no way the Supreme Court could challenge a law in california that does the same thing towards people who were manufacturing these gun. These are 15.
