SHIP INSPECTIONS RESUME AT BOSPHORUS STRAIT

Dry cargo ships can once again pass through Turkey's Bosphorus Strait, after two days of negotiations between Moscow, Kyiv, Ankara and the United Nations.

A system of inspections was agreed last year to allow safe passage to and from the Black Sea, where the Russian Navy maintains a war footing.

But inspections recently stopped due to what the United Nations called a "lack of consent between the parties".
