By SUSIE BLANN, Associated PressKYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A ship docked in a Ukrainian Black Sea port on Friday to begin loading up with wheat for hungry people in Ethiopia. That sent global food prices sky-high and led to hunger in Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia. “The wheat will go to the World Food Program’s operations in Ethiopia, supporting the Horn of Africa drought response as the threat of famine stalks the drought-hit region," he said. The threat of a nuclear accident also loomed in southern Ukraine, where shelling has hit near Europe's largest nuclear plant. The U.N. nuclear chief warned late Thursday that “very alarming” military activity at the nuclear plant could lead to dangerous consequences.
