operation in ukraine. the separate your plant was shout last week spanking concerns of a potential major disaster. ukraine says that moscow wants to use the plan to redirect powered to crimea, which moscow annexed in 2014 gum obesity festival of speed 2 for years. no one ever thought that europe could be under the threat of a new disaster on a nuclear power station. not because someone reaches the safety protocol, but because a certain country would use the station as a means of terror. this is what russia is doing. now. let's bring in mike hannah, who's in washington day say hello there, mike. what is the state department said? well, the state department has issued the statement are saying that conflict around a nuclear plant is deeply dangerous. has been watching the situation at the south area plan for a period of time. obviously, since the russians took control of it,

although they kept ukrainian nationals working at the plant itself, our state department source has said that that fighting year and nuclear plant is dangerous and irresponsible. and we continue to call on russia to cease all military operations at or near ukrainian nuclear facilities, and return for control to ukraine and support ukrainian calls for a demilitarized zone around the nuclear plants. so obviously state department expressing deep concern. remembering within the pastor 24 hours, a group of g 7 nations, also called for an end to conflict around that plant, also demanded that aid inspection team from the international atomic energy agency be allowed in to survey what is exactly happening at this particular plant, which is the largest plant in europe, and also within the next hour or so un security council will be holding a meeting on this crisis. there has been a statement from un secretary general expressing deep concern like everybody else

and calling for an end to conflict around the nuclear facility or will say if anything comes to fruition. thank you very much for the app tank. my cannot live press in washington, d st. still on the ukraine war and satellite images have been released showing the aftermath of explosions and a russian air base in crimea. it appears at least a 2 russian war. planes were destroyed at the saki a base on tuesday. moscow says there was an accidental detonation of stored ammunition. ukraine. officials say this was either the result of sabotaged by infiltrated or russian incompetence. an influential taliban figure has been killed in a suicide attack. and afghan has done that's been claimed by i saw witnesses say, a disabled man, approached rock. mullah connie in a seminary in cobble in detonated explosives, hidden in his prosthetic leg,

as some had been. jade has more from campbell. sure. so he will not gone. he was considered to be somebody very influential and loved by both leaders and followers of the taliban. somebody who was able to gather them together on various religious issues. he'd been issuing decrees against eisen and was attacked by the group at least twice before he was killed. in couples, when a suicide bomber wearing a prosthetic leg approached him and explosives were hidden inside that pathetic leg . his brother was also injured in the attack. he was somebody who was able to bring together biggest fractions of the dollar one and make sure that they were following a single line. and that's why his death will be seen as a law to specially the few logical side of the dollar. but it also comes and bears all the hallmarks of isis related to tax that we've seen in the last few months in this country. although no group claimed responsibility so far. but we were in ice and heart land just 24 hours ago and we were able to speak to people as well as

security officials who tell us that yes, there had been a nice and resurgence in the early days of the taliban took over last year. but the group has been able to crack down on ice and remnants go after their neighbor says and infiltrate intelligence has been able to infiltrate isolated well. but isaac continues to have a real presence in this country is being carrying out to toxic and los and other places as well. and the taliban were saying that their biggest achievement so far in this country has been able to provide security to the people of a plan to son. and definitely attack such as this one and previous ones which have been claimed by ice and are meant to dent that a man who held employees hostage at a bank in 11 a capital bay road has surrendered peacefully to place. he walked out with a wave to thousands of people who gathered to support him and voice their anger about a banking system that's been accused of the misuse of funds. the man had entered

the bank carrying a gun and demanded his own money. se honda is in beirut with move while a peaceful end to this nearly 7 hours found off, but some hot sun has decided to lay down his arms. we saw the police as for him outside the building, the bank where he held hostage a number of bank employees as well as customers. this started at 11. am they both time for the time? it's not just an arm man. he is also a depository. he has money in this in the bank and what we understand is that for the past few days he's been trying to access 5000. 8 dollars in order to pay for his father's hospital bill, the bank refused to give him the money because informal capital control have been in place since the economy started to collapse in late 2019. he was just drunk. angry desperate, he returned today,

arms and with fuels he actually poured fuel in the building, threatening to stablish man on fire. what we understand is that it is a negotiated settlement. if you like. it was demanding the $210000.00 us dollars that was in his account at 1st, the bank was ready to give him $10000.00. then they raised it to $30000.00. but we understand that he might have been given a little more money. so a peaceful resolution to the found off, but definitely an example of the crisis in this country of unprecedented economic crisis where people are struggling to make ends meet. those who have money and bank aren't able to access that money, and others are unable to find jobs because the economy is shrinking at a time when the political elite is doing nothing to lead the economy to recovery. let's take a closer look at the deep economic crisis that's been crippling. living on since 2019, the united nation says nearly 80 percent of its people living in poverty. the lebanese

currency has lost more than 90 percent of its value. devastating for a nation that imports most of its goods. international donors say i is conditional on reforms, which politicians have so far resisted. her son hammered collie is a lebanese economist and banker. it says the situation is worse than people think. people are saying that they need that said that the 100000000. this is also a lie because center back then think you're a part of the state. the center ban has the whole and you only discovered it over the last year. i've been warning i gave proudly about this 20 years that there is a hole in the bank that the governor is using the ross and he is forced the bank in to measure that many back is not which to comply with. and they're in the center bank, there's another 100000000000. so the boat, the black hole reaches $200000000000.00 out of which people deposit

$120000000000.00 of that. and 80000000000. he has use the system and he's been printing money in the hood. that's why there is no value in our opinion, that the lib beneath vieira is not worth more than the income the paper. so we are talking about 6 and a half 1000000 liberties, plus about $3000000.00 liberties abroad. plus some, mainly serious all have been looted in the biggest one is given history of united nation. and i've called it that this is almost genocide that should be put into the national criminal court. because although you don't look but you have a whole population, unprecedented in the history of humanity as of quality and israeli military court has extended the detention of islamic jihad later by some sante,

by at least 6 days. israel launched what he called preemptive strikes on garza targeting the palestinian group following saudis. the red, 2 weeks ago, the 2 sides agreed on a truce this week after trading fire for 3 days. 48 palestinians were killed in those attacks. the freedom of a different palestinian prisoner on hunger strike. a little wander was also part of the negotiations between islamic jihad and these rallies to end the latest conflicting guys. john homan has more on that from west jerusalem. we're outside this hospital just outside of televi because the other isn't laminate jihad demands . was that another man be free and that man is hello a while day. now. hello, a while the is on a hunger strike that's lasted around a $150.00 days, is a palestinian prisoner. and we spoke to the chairperson of the positions for human rights about his condition. she'd just been to examine him. it's hard to predict if

he can die any minute from an arrow or deficiency from a vitamin deficiency. we can predict exactly how much time he can survive, but he can die any minute. and he has to be all the time and the medical and a follow up. okay. so that he, he said he, when we talked to him, he hardly speaks. when he spoke, he said that he doesn't want to die. okay. he only wants to be only wants is freedom to come to come back home to his children. now what the doctor also told us that was how little or why would the obviously very weak was surrounded by israeli gods prison guards and that his family weren't allowed to be with him. so aside from his personal circumstance, which is obviously difficult at the moment, this, these 2 men and their fate, but somehow saw the and how little a while they inextricably tied up with what's happening at the moment between

islamic jihad and between israel and this fragile sci fi in force at the moment. still ahead on al jazeera africa's largest damn, and ethiopia stance generating power. but find out why this is likely to fuel tension with downstream countries and police in brazil and cover $114000000.00 scam targeting the widow of the famous art collector. ah, ah, let's go with your weather update for the middle east and africa. hi everyone. thanks for joining in. so a lot of sand and dust spinning around eastern province of saudi rate into the empty quarter here. and then we've got some funny rains across western areas of

ah, blank assessments. how much support is there that st protest that we've seen in hotels across the rest of the country? the street has been very good that tapping into the co consent to people across the country, informed opinions we will say more of it and what is happening is that climate change it to making them work in depth analysis of the days global headlines draw. he is credited by someone really restoring it leaves credibility, his critics would say he couldn't play the part of a politician. what do you think went wrong inside story on al jazeera? oh ah.

22000000000 square meters of water to be utilized and a turbine operated from the down to generate electric power. the mobilization did not harm the downstream countries or their water share. during the mobilization process, the water did not stop for one day and was flowing and going to our brothers. and did your pass keep to benefit from it resources to achieve development, providing electricity to our people without harming others. for if you appear harnessing the blue knives waters to generate affordable electricity is essential to left millions of its people out of poverty. but for those living downstream and sudan year therapy are spotter, it's meant quite the opposite light. and i kind of look sharp, mean ellwood used to come from the highlands and we'd fish it out of the nile. hadn't. but since the start of the filling of the race on stand on the other side of the border, another very few logs come downstream in south. and instead we have to buy wood from elsewhere. farm was like momma am. i see the scene changes the surrounding

environment as well. normally this time of year water levels are high and they irrigate our farms. but they've been dropping lower and lower for the past 3 years . and the amount of 1st house sold deposits in the water has reduced. i've lost a lot of my trees this year because of that, sudan, egypt. and if you appeal, have long try to reach an agreement on the operation of the dam by negotiations or faltered. and if you appear began filling the down in 2020. the countries down stream are concerned about possible disruptions to the knives, water levels, which depend on cycles a frame in the northern if you're in highlands this year or is that he could be coming year will be a little flawed. we'll pick the egypt incidents so much, it could be a little bit neater in the 3rd it means the amount of enough to
