BBC World Service - Weekend, Ukraine and Russia sign deal on exports

A deal to allow grain exports from Ukraine has been signed with Moscow

A deal to allow grain exports from Ukraine has been signed with Moscow.

Ukraine and Russia have signed deals which will allow Kyiv to resume exports of grain through the Black Sea.

Also, we hear from a former senior UN official who says a global system is needed to solve humanitarian crisis faster and better in the future.

And Leonard Cohen and the story of 'Hallelujah'.

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Christina Lamb, a British journalist and author and the chief foreign correspondent for The Sunday Times; and Tom Rivers, an ABC News radio correspondent based in London.
