Ah, the green, the green, it is assuming the dialogue between the parties is possible in the search, easy, human suffering. Not only our side is fully prepared. We sent all the signals to our partners, the un and turkey. It will help to present a global food crisis. All parties made clear commitments to ensure the safe, green, and related products to global markets. The minister of infrastructure is in direct contact with the turkish side on the you and were waiting for a signal from them that we can start also coming up the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency tells me if hes concerns about the situation at ukraines operation. Nuclear plant, which is now under Russian Occupation and in the line of fire. So to combination b, o by your nation, every possible your safety measure. So i cannot say repeat that the situation is not stay ah, welcome to the day and we begin to wear the deaths of dozens of ukrainian prisoners of war, many of whom are victims of the month long siege of mario, paul, russia and ukraine. Have each accused the other of shelling the present on the Eastern Front line time of america, which is controlled by russia back assists. Local Officials Say as many as 53 prisoners that were killed in the days other Main Development ukraine, chinese restart grain exports to help ease the global food crisis. Ships are loaded and ready to sail from to black. See ports a cloud of dust or wraps, his grain is loaded onto a merchant ship. In the port city of odessa, ukraines president is on hand to inspect the loaded vessels ahead of departure. But assumed numbers of this is the 1st vessel being loaded up. Since the war began to seem which out for me, im standing in front of a turkish chevy. More yes, the novel, this means the port has started operating. What . The most important thing for us is that the port is operating and that people are working on divorce. Millions of tons of ukrainian grain have been held for months in silos and ships blockaded by russia on the black sea, sending food prices soaring around the world. According to a recent deal brokered by the u. S. And turkey merchant ships will be given safe passage in and out of key ukrainian ports. This agreement, as the, as the secretary general said, is not just important for ukraine and ukraines economy. But these is important for the world because it will help to prevent a global food crisis. Local officials, they more than a dozen ships loaded with grain are ready to leave. A rare moment of good news and the 5 month long war. But its being overshadowed by reports of missile attack on a prison in a separatist control region of eastern ukraine. The strike killed dozens of ukrainian prisoners of war. Moscow and key if blame each other for the death or in russia invaded ukraine. Western countries announced increased sanctions on the russian economy only 6 months into the wall, which measures are still in place all the while imposed on immediate ban on russian oil imports. And the European Union said it would phase outage use of russian oil by the end of this year and phase out the use of russian gas. The u. S. Has been the export of high tech components to russia, and several russian banks have been cut off from the International Payment system. Russias horn ukraine has been breaking for 5 months now. Its an unprecedented aggression. The European Union has tried to counter with unprecedented sanctions by facing out russian oil, cutting or fresh and bangs from the biggest International Payment system. And freezing the assets of fresh oligarchs wooden has mobilized his armed forces. We are mobilizing our economic power with a powerful sanctions, and these sanctions are biting there, grinding their teeth into the russian economy. So far, russian president Vladimir Putin has shown no sign. He will bow to the pressure and end his war anytime soon. And not everyone in the you is standing behind the block sanctions marshall regarding bathroom the sanctions are not weakening. Moscow and europe is in trouble in economic trouble. Hormone. The quote over boy bomb bomb was go shaggy boy won. Energy prices have been soaring all over europe, but economists say the russian economy has been hit much harder if you look at traits statistics, if you look at various statistics coming from lower levels of, or from, from russia, russian economy suffering messy ellery sanctions way more. A way, way more than, than the european saw, the fact that the you has not faced out whole Russian Energy immediately. Hess, however, drawn a lot of criticism. This is the cash cow aggression budget, and against the backdrop of record with high oil prices. Russia has the ability to, to shield itself from any future sanctions. Much, well now depend on how fast you countries can end their reliance on Russian Energy and find alternative suppliers and how fast russia will be able to build new economic ties with countries like china and india. Ah. Among the dangers posed by the war in ukraine, its a risk of a nuclear catastrophe. Europes Largest Nuclear plant, which is now under russian control. And of course, in a war zone, i asked the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Rafael grossey about his concerns over the situation at the planted separation. So combination b o by your nation every possible. Busy Nuclear Safety measure that youre getting. So i cannot say repeat that the situation is not sustainable. And i have been trying to put together a permission to go there. Busy to to address a number of issues. Is it true that that hes, that hes explosives a stock . Yeah. The actors. Yes or no. Busy busy is the situation with the staff, we need to perform indispensable and inspection in check for the any of the war. So really the lease is wrong then these are, there are many reasons to be concerned and we are assisting in trying to. Busy soon as possible, but of course its not an easy thing to do, but i do have reasons that you may not. Right. And its interesting, you speak as a diplomat, it sounds like youre talking about wanting access to the facility in order to do inspections, rather than just asking russia to, to leave the facility because it just dangerous. Well i would say that my initial condition, i am responsible for safe safeguarding. Busy i also have a competence. Busy of the safety of the secure operation in terms of the situation, i think the general counsel to be with the wall and its like really great grading use the so its all the separation of our class. I also have to talk to russian in on site because we need to have a general communication with everybody who is dealing with that. So it is, you said you speak and i have to be good to, to be a political and international related issues that are converting of these quite unique situation. Factors the 1st time that you have such, such a tricky situation. But we, you know, we, we have to go there, i havent seen, and i will not stop doing so until i can be there. And when you asked to inspect all you told no, or you just told not yet. No, i am told that a yes, under certain circumstances or certain conditions or if you do these or need to do that. And of course, the difficulty is compounded by the fact that when you look at the map of the site, you see what it is, is it was a media that we should, they should be reminded that they are, is that the, it was all action is in the nearby school appreciate but hes not in in the play. So and hes territory under the control the of the rest of the courses. But that hes active and Exchange Buyer there. So it is not like you are going to a place which is easy access, head open, international organization. I have to go there and in corporation with the u. N. Security forces. So i have been discussing ticket that you have and i will be talking about this very soon. And so, and i was discussing this with the gradient. And we the ration bothers to see how best to ensure my act, to their right. Understood, this war, of course, has led to massive increases in energy costs and europes facing the prospect of gas at rationing as the winter approaches. So what do you make of the calls here in germany for the government to rethink its decision to shut down its Nuclear Plants by the end of this year . I would say that but clearly the wall but that. Busy were other factors like Climate Change and what to do about the war world about. Busy start realization of the consequences. So energy, either dependence, i will not get into specific, i guess. But this is that you took dependencies in terms of Energy Supply and, and countries have in their toolbox or energy to box certain Tools Instruments to their campus and to keep the running. And of course. Ringback when you look at nuclear and this is many, many got specially nice to talk about the european scenario. Ah, eager to either increase for those can be set up. Ok. Energy already actress indication or some other any indication of germany . I believe its obvious that many voices are questioning why not continue with whatever remains in terms of Nuclear Infrastructure use, of course, or the government to decide. Right. And as we look at the various governments around the world, look at changing the energy mix. Of course we have to consider that the offense on the climate is Nuclear Energy and green fit the colors ok. Energy does not produce c o 2. So or very, very true and almost nothing. So back so. Busy busy and now as we speak, because the 5 percent of the clean energy by the Nuclear Power point presentation is what is happening now. And in europe much more 50 percent of the gain energy that exists in europe, east of nuclear or okay. So the rest because then about clean or green energy that we have to deal with the radioactive waste that has to be securely contained for thousands of years. And of course, securing a guarantee that sorts of Nuclear Disasters that we have seen in recent years. The Nuclear Waste is an issue that is manageable. In fact, it is being managed. The commercial Nuclear Operation has more than 60 years in the world. And you have never heard of an accident coming from a waste, which is well stored when you have a b, e, some countries because in the case of land or sea or many other countries, the issue has been resolved. And i was just a few months ago where the geologic repository, almost ready to work. And of course in other countries the bakes about. Busy to long term storage for this nuclear fuel or obvious reason. So social acceptance. But this doesnt mean that a waste is danger. There is a real danger or an immediate danger for anybody. Look at waste is controlled even by us because we have to say got it in. So they moved. So id say nuclear in the c. C which you have a key or is the last run of so called waste. Busy or east, which you can see about any other industrial peak. Okay. But not understood. And lets just, lets just move to concerns about nuclear weapons. And if you would mind that iran has said that it will keep eye a cameras turned off and its processing plans until the 2015 nuclear deal is restored. So where are we now with Irans Nuclear program . You know, the along the process of technical issues or charts and but it could be a green, famous j. C, p o, a lot of action among the 5 in germany and the European Union have been ongoing for more than a year and a half almost so far. Ready we do hope that theyre going to be a good outcome the i yea, without being a part of the company that they grow. Ready or we are in the, the gas, we are the inspectors of these agreements. And at the moment we have is sort of an in house because they, the negotiators did not seem to be finding the right spot to have an agreement. And why this happens a race dimensions have reduced visibility of yay, has removed and nothing less than 27. 00 camera. So from the 8th, which means that i have lost a lot of these to be 40, so going on for now almost to mass with me. What would means is that there will have to be some way to reconstruct the gigs of people. I can tell these maybe ok, you can find them on the line because we can tell you exactly what, what is the amount of who can t really wrong . How many centrifuges do they have . The operation. Busy or, or at stored unless that happens. So this is what ive been telling my radians come from video from me. And i dont want to do without this happening. It is very difficult, very next to have the agreements are rich. So i really hope that there will be an agreement but. Busy that could happen, we store our reputation in their own interest as her claire. Thank you so much for joining us, right. Her grossey, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Thank you very much. I whats the 1st thing you think about when you hear the word vaccine . Most of us imagine rolling up our sleeves for a shot in the arm. Many researches believe as a best way to provide protection against kobe, and it doesnt involve the needle. Billions of doses of vaccines have been injected throughout the world over the course of the pant anake. And although the series of shots doesnt prevent people from getting coven 19 entirely, it does make the course of the disease generally much less severe. And that experts say has saved millions of lives. Some researchers have set their sights higher. Their goal is to prevent infections before they can take hold at the place where the virus 1st enters the body, the nose around a dozen trials with different nasal spray vaccine candidates are currently ongoing and different countries. A few are in whats called phase 3 testing, which means theyre being checked for effectiveness in larger groups of test subjects. They could help change the course of the pandemic because it sars covey to is blocked from docking on to the cells in the upper respiratory tract. It cant invade them. So even after exposure, its unable to replicate in the massive way that leads to full blown illness. That means blocking the virus with this kind of vaccine might also help break infection. James, the concept isnt a novel one. Nasal vaccines for influenza have been around for a couple of decades now. There have been a few problems with them over the years, but for lots of people, especially younger recipients, they have one major advantage. The boost to immunity doesnt involved getting jabbed with a needle. I know once that lets get law from a doctor William Shafter his professor of preventative medicine at the Vanderbilt University school of medicine in nashville, in the united states. Welcome to the w, dr. Out. So we know that the w h. I was approved around a dozen injected covey vaccine, self albano nasal ones. And this strokes so promising one wonders why its taking so long. Yeah, well, you can wonder phil, but its a larger scientific challenge to actually prevent a virus from getting up. But hold on the mucous membranes of the nose, the throat, and the upper chest, blocking that initial contact to prevent the virus from entering the cells initially is very difficult. We dont have a similar vaccine that is very effective against influenza. We do have a nasal spray vaccine, its no better than the injectable vaccine for flu. So getting a vaccine that work against coated has taken more scientific work and more is going on. We hope its successful, right . And so what, what sort of time scale then, are we looking at how long before you think that the so its about seems well hit the market. Yeah, well, its very difficult time Scientific Research isnt it . But as you are set up, he said there are several candidate vaccines that are currently already in clinical trials. So cross your fingers, perhaps a year or year and a half from now. It would be wonderful if we had 2 kinds of vaccines. One to prevent the initial attack and then another to prevent the virus from spreading inside the body. Thats the traditional injectable vaccine, right . We heard in the report that nasal vaccines could help break chains of infection and explain to us why thats important. Thats very important because if we could curtail or even stop transmission of the virus, that would really be a major factor in controlling the spread of the virus. If the virus cant multiply in those mucous membranes, we could then not spread it to anyone else. And then of course, would allow us to very much control the virus and its worst impact to make us go to the hospital, for example. Right. And so the, the scientists are, hell need these nasal a vaccines. I suppose that the hope would be that one day, they would eventually replace injected vaccines and then youre looking at them for all sorts of diseases and conditions and conditions beyond coven . Yes, thats exactly correct, correct. They could be good enough to be used by themselves, or they could be used in conjunction with the conventional injectable vaccines either way. Would be a great advance. And the technology thats developed might be able to be adapted to influenza and other particularly risk fire rhetoric transmitted viruses. And so how much of a problem is that the phobia fear of needles when it comes to, to vaccines . Is that a significant problem, or is the problem that those injectable vaccines overcome is its a sort of a cost benefit analysis and it, we generally see it being worth going through the pain for this. Well, you know, most of us, except injectable vaccines, but there are some people who have a real phobia for. But what we dont realize is that theres the other side of the coin to there are some people who dont want you to full with their nose. So its i have 2 options available. Ok, good. Talking to thank you for joining us as evan fest william a chat with from the Vanderbilt University school of medicine. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, our restaurants in spain will soon be required by law to offer a donkey back for leftovers in an attempt to reduce food waste. More than a 100000. 00 tons of food are thrown away every year in spain. New legislation will also require the Hospitality Industry to reduce its overall disposal of uneven food. This law is expected to take effect next year. Well, it is almost done by the compensation continues online. Youll find it on twitter. Ive at steed up to do so.
