UN crisis co-ordinator for Ukraine on grain exports

BBC World Service - Weekend, UN crisis co-ordinator for Ukraine on grain exports

Is a sea lane to export grain from Ukraine across the Black Sea viable?

What's preventing the creation of a sea lane to export grain from Ukraine across the Black Sea?

Amin Awad, the UN Assistant Secretary-General and United Nations Crisis Coordinator for Ukraine on whether a sea lane to export grain from Ukraine across the Black Sea can get the green light.

Also on the programme, we speak to Andrei Soldatov, of Russia's top investigative journalists, now on the most wanted list of its feared secret service, the FSB; and the story of Rudolph Vrba who along with fellow Slovak, Fred Wetzler were the first Jews to escape Auschwitz and tell the world about the holocaust.

Joining Celia Hatton the discuss these and other issues are Myriam Francois, a Franco-Irish journalist and film-maker based in London; and George Parker, Political Editor at the Financial Times.
