ah, assignment is underway in istanbul to open a center that will facilitate green exports from ukraine. it follows an agreement between ukraine and russia 5 days ago. that was broken by turkey and the u. n. it allows for the shipment of 20000000 tons of grain that are trapped in ukraine's black c ports. the grinning government says it wants to resume exports this week for the 1st time since the russian invasion began in february, wilson cross yellow is live for us in istanbul. cinema. how is those going to work in practice? well, there are, we are waiting for the turkish defense minister to reveal the details of the joint command center that has been operational. as of today today, he's going to be doing the official opening of it. and since yesterday we know that the russian and ukrainian military officers and along with you and representatives have arrived and will then started working in this joint commence center. so this joint command center all say the headquarters and the stumble will be overseeing the safe navigation, all the commercial vessels that will leave your question for

>> all right, so for the russian side of this, let's go to anna bashir in istanbul. what's been the response from russia and turkey, which helped broker the deal? >> reporter: well, there was always a lot of skepticism around how this deal would be implemented and whether it could be implemented successfully, particularly because there was no hard cease-fire agreed on ukraine's southern black sea port. although it was understood both russia and ukraine had agreed to not undertake any attacks on civilian vessels or commercial vessels or on port infrastructure involved in this grain initiative. so seeing this attack less than 24 hours after that deal was signed here in istanbul is a real blow to months of mediation, of negotiation, brokered by the turkish government and the united nations. now, of course, mounting pressure on the turkish government to prove that this deal can work, that it can be implemented successfully. we heard from turkish defense minister reacting to these attacks yesterday. he expressed turkey's concern and said that the turkish government was di

so at a grocery store, in istanbul, the economist calculates the inflation rate every month, based on actual price increases over the past year. not the governor official rates like a channel that goes until the last year mil cost between $5.00 and $7.00, nero's right to 7 zeroes, and now it is. smoke is 20 louis it went up. yes. today, unfortunately, the non dr. either minus a leader of milk for $20.00, roughly one euro 20 loose. i believe that the official inflation rate of 70 percent is incorrect and you don't have it. you used to use a lot of innovation rate is up at 156 percent compared to prices from last year and it will continue to go up soon. the government's official inflation rate will break 100 percent by october or november i. according to our calculations, we're heading towards almost 200 percent you back in ankara, a live chin dick, have reagan, is about to meet with someone else. she hopes will join her in germany. vog at good is a professor and practicing psychiatrist professor good hasn't decided yet, but he is clearly interested, even though he earns quite a bit mor

>> thanks a lot, dorian jones in istanbul. caitlin welsch is a director of the global food security program at the center for strategic and international studies, a think tank based in washington, d.c. i asked her for her reaction to the news of the deal. >> this is very positive news coming out of turkey today. very importa for thexport of grns that were stuck in ukraine from last year's harvest which is between 16 and 20 llion metric tons of grains. which we expect to be able to be exported over the next three to four months, which will addressed the import needs of countries in the region. >> there was a lot of back and forth in the lead up to this, what you think made the agreement possible now? >> that is a great question. probably a combination of factors. the number one rising awareness of the applications of restrictions on exports from the black sea. increased wooden security around the world -- food insecurity around the world. like the middle east and africa. awareness of the implications for food security there. fi

in istanbul for the signing of the agreement, as we saw the u.n. and turkey have been mediating with talks for months. and guterres later told becky anderson many people didn't believe the deal would ever be reached. >> nobody believed when i said three months ago that i had made this proposal to president putin and to president zelenskyy, and that we were starting to work on it. everybody was say this was not possible. it has happened. so i believe it is in the mutual interest of the parties because these will represent not only an important solution for ukraine that has all the silos full and the new harvest being made. so it's vital to export ukraine grains, but we are working also as it is known with the u.s. and eu. the u.s. already issued a statement to these, there are no sanctions on putin fertilizers. so russian fertilizers will also be able to be in access to the world markets. and these two combined operations will mean a huge injection that i believe will bring prices down, will stabilize the markets, and will allow developing countries

you're in istanbul where the deal was signed. how do they go forward after everything that just happened? >> well, look, there is certainly a lot of pressure on turkey now to prove that this deal can last, that this can truly be implemented successfully despite this attack we have seen by russian forces on the port of odesa on the southern coast of ukraine, just 24 hours after that deal was signed here in istanbul. the pressure is really on. i have to say here in turkey, this has been seen as a real blow to the efforts put forward by president erdogan and his government for weeks now involved in that mediation effort to bring some sort of agreement to the fore between russia and ukraine to allow the grain exports to leave those three key ports on the southern black sea coast. this had been seen as a real diplomatic win for president erdogan, he's long been seen as somewhat of an outlier among his native counterparts, choosing to maintain communications with president putin and offering support to the ukrainian armed forces and up

let's join t w correspondent, johan in istanbul, welcome you. this sounds like a lot of people will be breathing huge sighs of relief. this afternoon exactly. i think so, and not just here in istanbul, but around the world, people have been following these negotiations in the past 2 weeks in the past months even. and now finally a deal has been signed. i think it's fair to say that this is one of the most significant compromises, or the most significant compromise reached between moscow and key of since russia invaded ukraine in february, the un secretary general hailed it as and i caught him here a beacon of hope, but he also urged all sides to fully implement this agreement, turkish president edwin, who also played a key role in negotiating this deal or called it a turning point in this war. he said, vessel traffic could start and i quote him in the coming days, of course it remains to be seen how fast this whole plan can be put into action. because some of cautioned that it actually might take a couple of weeks to get this whole new grain exp

we are following every letter of that istanbul deal. again, you can do with ukrainian grain every single thing you want. the head of the world health organisation has declared the outbreak of monkeypox a public health emergency of international concern. director general dr tedros said the emergency declaration would help speed up the development of vaccines and the implementation of measures to limit the spread of the virus. he made the annoucement at a conference in geneva. we have an outbreak that has spread around the world rapidly through new modes of transmission, about which we understand too little and which meet the criteria in the international health regulations. for all of these reasons, i have decided that the global monkeypox outbreak represents a public health emergency of international concern. let's look at some of the day's other news. china has revealed for the first time that its most senior leaders including president xijinping have been vaccinated against covid—i9, using chinese—made vaccines. until now, there's

here in istanbul at the dorm, a batch of palace, that's the building they are right behind me, the turkish president, reggie pie bad one is here, the united nations secretary general until you who cherish is a here. what is very interesting to mention though, is that from what we understand, ukraine and russia won't be signing the exact same piece of paper. ukraine presidential 8 for dall. eoc tweeted a little earlier that ukraine would only sign an agreement with turkey and the united nations. but not directly with russia, and that russia would sign a miracle agreement with turkey and the united nation. so right now, it's not clear what that will mean for implementation. now, the full text of the agreement has also not been made available yet. but from what we know, the plan provides for ukrainian vessels to escort cargo ships through mind waters across the black sea. russia has a made promises, it won't attack these ship, sir, that is a very, very big concern for the ukrainian side. and we also know that coordination center, it will be created here in istanbul, staffed with representativ

it's located on the campus of a university here in istanbul, the national defense university. during that ceremony, we saw representatives from the t warring parties, from russia and ukraine sitting in silence on opposite sides of the table. there have been reports in the turkish media that those representatives will have separate office space in this center and that this will only be brought together if there is a crisis to be dealt with. we got a little bit more detail today from the defense minister. he said there would be a team of 20 manning this center. there would be five representatives each from turkey, the united nations, russia, and ukraine and that those representatives would be both civilian and military. turkey is keen toalk this up and ta up the diplomatic potential and the defense minister said today that turkey hoped this could be the beginning of a move toward a permanent peace. i think as far as everybody else is concerned, that is a very distant prospect, but in practical terms, this center has been described by a senior united nations official as the heart

jomana karadsheh is in istanbul with more, jomana, how much optimism is it there that the deal could get done, and what kind of impact will that have? >> well, you know kim, according to the office of the turkish president erdogan, an announcement was made last night that the are seeing the signing of an agreement for grain exports to take place at 4:30 pm local time today, that this signing ceremony would be by the turkish president delegation from ukraine and russia as well as the united nations secretary general, antonio gutierrez, who arrived in istanbul last night. now, according to the united nations kim, up until last night, there was no deal in place. but they sounded quite optimistic that this would be happening today. we heard from the secretary general last week following the first round of talks between the ukrainians and the russians, the united nations in turkey, that took place here in istanbul, he sounded very optimistic that they had an agreement in principle in place, they were working out the final details and there hope was this week we would be seeing the signing

and that hopefully leaving the next few days after that there will be a shuttle between istanbul and ukraine in order to bring out all these tons of great. we're talking about 20000000 tons of grain that are now stored in ukraine storage facilities. and after the next harvest, another $20000000.00 tons are expected to add to that in order to bring all of them out. ukraine counts with the period of 8 or 9 months, so it is quite a long period. and there are many chances that this will be interrupted due to fighting in the black sea or due to obstruction by russia. so there is quite some extra anxiety here in ukraine whether this can really work that he has filling a reporting there, or the u. s. has announced further sanctions on russian individuals and entities. it says are supporting the at malign forces of the kremlin. this came following a call between secretary of state antony blinking, and russian foreign minister said, a gay lover of the 2 men spoke by phone for the 1st time since russia invaded ukrainian fabric during the exchange, lincoln told his russian counterpart that mosc

the russian defense minister is here in istanbul to day ukraine's infrastructure minister as well. so it really seems like there has been a breakthrough a. what else do we know about the deal about the details of the deal? well, the full details of these agree and have not been made public yet, but from what we know, the deal provides for a un run in control center to be created here in istanbul at this very strategic lexi location, staffed by representatives from a russia ukraine. and turkey to over see these at brain export. the 2 sides have reportedly also agreed that ships traveling to and from ukraine would be inspected to make sure there are no weapons or other military equipment on board. that's been a key russian demand. but these inspections, the ukranian se, will take place in turkish waters. so what we're going to see in the end, i think, is ukranian vessels escorting cargo ships through so called safe corridors in the black sea. both sides have made promises that they would not attack these ships in and out of it on an, on their way in and out of ukrainian territorial w

who in the black sea that some 150 kilometers at easter, from istanbul, it has reportedly not docked or unloaded to after ukraine requested turkish authorities last week to detain the ship and investigated according to ukraine's the ambassador to talk. he and that is the accusation here. the ship carries some 4500 tons of stolen grain from territories in south and ukraine that are now occupied by russian forces. the ambassadors said ukraine had provided the turkish side with all necessary documents and evidence, and that a team of investigators would determine on monday would determine the fate of this ship. ukraine, he said, hoped for the grain to be confiscated, but now it's tuesday, and the turkish authorities have not released to any details about this investigation. we don't know whether it's been fully conducted yet. we don't know by whom. we don't know if a grain samples have been taken for forensic tests to determine its origin as requested by ukraine. so right now we're still waiting for all that information to come to light. a crane says that russia has been stealing its gr
