and another way to get out of the city. but so now they like many others, would have to return home, hoping tomorrow is a better day. oh, abandoned by the state social collectives are occupying spaces among the people, a militant architect working on the edge of the law in the 1st episode of rebel log here. tech to santiago. seattle. heather george. i'll just eva him to the realm of cell fielding insane gorilla architect on how to zebra. ah, europe's biggest at nuclear plant under attack, russia and ukraine, blame each other for the shelling while the un warns of catastrophic consequences.

ah, hello there, i'm dealing with donald. this is al jazeera, alive from london, also coming up in a powerful taliban cleric is killed in a bombing in cobble iso says it was behind the attack. 6 european countries deploy fire fighting teams to france, where a scorching wild far has forced thousands from their homes. and america's top differ muffled talks in rwanda warning that support for rebels and neighboring democratic republic of congo must end ah hello, they're very warm. welcome to the program. fears are growing that fighting in eastern ukraine will lead to a nuclear disaster. russia and ukraine are blaming each other for the shelling of this apparition, nuclear plants, europe's largest atomic power complex. well,

the u. n. is demanding that all military activity in the area be stopped immediately. it's the 2nd time in a week attacks of struck the site with official saying it was hit at least 5 times on thursday, including near an area where radioactive materials are held. now ukraine says it's ready for a possible evacuation and warns there could be a disaster, similar to cher, nor will the world's worst nuclear catastrophe. commer beasley t good though. still the perfume was futile. for years, no one never thought that europe could be under the threat of a new disaster on a nuclear power station. not because someone breaches the safety protocol, but because a certain country would use the station as a means of terror. this is what russia is doing now, as will russian forces control the facility which is on the front line. so although it's operated by ukrainian engineers now was one of 4 nuclear power plants currently in operation in ukraine. ukraine says russia wants to use the plan to re direct power to crimea, which ma school antics back in 2014. well,

let's go live now to john henry, who's in key for us. hi there, john. so the got this again, this fierce mistress quite obviously between ukraine and russia. and there's this particular cycle of accusation that's continuing when it comes to the shelling in the around the nuclear power plant, which is currently of course on the russian control. both sides are respectively blaming the other. that's right, russia says ukraine is doing it. ukraine says that russia is doing it. but in these most recent strikes, there are reports from and there go a tom that it's a company that owns that plant, that there were 10 strikes to day. so or as many as 10. it's hard to believe that this being the 4th time that facility has been struck in about a week that that would be an accident. the head of the company that runs that place

petro ketone tells us that or coach and rather tells us that he believes that russia is striking the plant that he has information from inside the plant. and remember there are 10000 workers there. they used to be 11002000 fled. and when they run it on a, on a skeleton crew, it's only $1000.00, but those workers are all there. so he has lots of sources of information and he says that russia is keeping trucks inside of that facility with explosives near the reactor. and he says, he believes that what russia is trying to do is cut off all the connections with ukraine so that it can connect on. i'm sorry to see john. i know when you come back to your in just a 2nd, i'm going to stop you there. we're going to go to the un security can, so it's holding a meeting for the nuclear found that we've just been discussing in ukraine, that let's have a listen in the or call me back. i, you may recall that i have the opportunity to report on the state of affairs to you

back in march. since february 30 for the murder, you sent her established rating our contact with the great bargains or globally monitor patients as well as activities involving radioactive sources. the really great i have a should frequent, almost 80, and i base on the id was sent to ensure that everyone updated information. and i have also personally led to missions to provide a 6 theres 2, you grade one. so you grade nuclear power plant, the march subsequent. the 2nd one is that your mobile aside neighbor

the agency has also been coordinating offers from our member states and dated region of equipment and regulation. sector protection for radiation monitors total to now a member said you keep my cell when we can come back with both the gray russian station to make sure we have the key is feature possible all the evolving circumstances we have the agency has corrected non safeguards, missions you great, great new to nicky,

an area. we are under a safeguards where she went to the and the we have to say to the ages he have at least on site inspections, enable the agent. he can feel its safeguards, remote monitoring. so i have all of our plans that you know, area remaining on most recently i have 2 teams site, so call me grief because they've got verification the to expect missions to you. great. we, i have led her son. yes. i said, allows us to see for ourselves, education,

the ground on provide assistance which has been already given a number of human legal issues which are the options. gotcha. our work at you know, very well focus, exclusively on technical issues related to the safety and security. the inspections to say, inspections really quick for me in the year. i don't know what you need to recall these just more than a week ago when i was addressing the we give you your i outline a number of 7 of them we are are you know, we are crucial to ensure safety. the good will lock in very

proven general crucial aspect dealing with a 50 can you take the, the on the side power supply, we're going to be spending cooling, system work, emergency measures, and on civil thing is that all these 7 feelers are being compromised. if not on the back of one of the other 2 released ongoing, got legally speaking when it comes to attacks. so the possibility of attacks on nuclear cds, we are not where you want to back to the international community. can thinking sounds very, are y'all against the site? we'll see the additional vertical 1221949. geneva

mentions back against nuclear electric. go back to the day generating stations in there have been a number of general fritz references from the id. so all these issues that must be of service where perhaps these meeting and the sleepy base base to get back to the suppression. so you can get in the rain be rapidly to the point bay alarm on august the our plan will start to settings

resolving in logins, several explosions were being assigned and their followers, these explosions to me as you like to go for all what, external power supply that cause that shut down of the electrical power can go on to back up to why we after you need or shut down. and this message from the electrical re, she's been reckoning dreams. the external reticence a fact. what's happening in the emergency protection system. the unit was figured and these, those generators were set ration, shore,

the power supply or the huge they remain disconnected probably will also show you the area of the nitrogen oxygen station i blacked by this. we wish these fire repairs must be rated out on the seas. one member of the jet working the area of the dry nuclear fuel storage. so you see what you're doing and you so we also caused some physical grain report axes to be on the side emergency crisis. oh,

today we need to be all full size power one external high balls. which line one by both which back up line to the 3rd that do you do the damage of the shipping from the sharing. but i guess to be particular, i mean, but he said about last week maybe maybe getting action geo. but i would say he will not stop me, get these maybe the reactions. yeah. we are such a large tv who lead very serious because

we have all these small events. i had already expressed great concern about the extremely stressful, difficult conditions phase, or the crating and operating the, the agency from teams to gratian to identify any litigation arise. based on the most recent information, i experts have believing that there is no immediate threat to safety file sharing or other actions, or whether these could change any more. we certainly can all agree any get that that should be would be an acceptable

banking is to be our over our table. we all work together so that the bodies, our common response to be your let's keep an eye out both sides. corporate, you know, our for emission to the power plant because she's as soon as possible. if you really want to where you have instead of any guys he's currently in russian. ok by kevin. so he cannot be reached by traveling exclusively through grading control. we need to work magic and we can both

in efforts to stain oxes for our bags to i am personally ready to need to mission. i need for saudi grain and turnover and need a team back, a search for these. and finally, slide for both, we hold these mission assume they should be under the control. yeah, he had received information from russia as well, from ukraine, indicating what stage it's operation and the damage how well the common

things such statements are frequently competitive. and we got to be without speaking rebels we, i am not going to raise some very board, bob's you gabbled, giving a sign that i needed. so i need to be on provide. i mean, i guess i could go eat what are we going to do? we will test the physical damage will determine whether that may have safety and security systems are functional and

weight or working conditions of the old rule. stop the mission to the site will also allow us to go home. urgent said god, for very buying the status of the reactance and the benefits of nuclear including rash and storage, where we currently have no remote data transfer officer meetings we need to perform maintenance on. oh i a said quitman in order to ensure that the mode they, that transmission on that maintenance will continue. we are not, we just indispensable,

after leaving not only going to reach out to the national go really get or go non. i think it will be beneficial for the operators makers of the previous nations, from games to south be great, where a group that be there, establishing the fact is what is needed at the moment. overall i also believe that our own site presence will both allow us to go to the site and also provide a pe, the lighting,

stabilizing. i want to underscore, but yeah, he has been ready to perform such a mission since june. when we were ready to go, but unfortunately, we didn't either configurations, we've seen work or the past 2 months. we cannot allow such factors to be laid up any longer. i reiterate that they need very actions, but even a small potential. do you guys are safe or new? you must stop with these are teams would leave us to see this on the i have you ready for a burger such when i think the

general who said he's or who our mission, i had an opportunity to discuss in the team your following statement of the org, without which our work would be tremendously more difficult. and i said it's given me the opportunity to state from class and do also we agree that this is a cd is our great, our and the i. e must be allowable on back it's mission salaries yet as soon as possible. i think it is that we're going here. galucci here, junker thing to adorn his breathing. love him, diana. i now give

a floor terrify to the members of the security council. him that i could belong there to the representative of the russian federation. a mr. president, but it's not gonna get me grateful to the i a yeah, there was a general ref l guarantee for his briefing. mister president, no problem. we repeatedly warned our western, your colleagues, that if they didn't talk some sense into the key regime, then it would take the most monstrous and irrational steps, the consequences are which were to reverberate far beyond the borders of ukraine. unfortunately, that is what is now happening. crystal now thank you. ok as criminal attacks on nuclear infrastructure, pushing the world to the brink of nuclear catastrophe, comparable in scale with chernobyl. mostly in recent days, the ukrainian out courses have repeatedly used heavy artillery and multiple launch rockets just to show the largest nuclear power plant in europe. these up at osha nuclear power plant on these strikes. our direct threats to the nuclear security of

the plot was on the 5th of august as a result of just one such strike a number of important objects for electricity and gas supply to the plaza where damage pipelines were destroyed and a hydrogen combustion incident at the hub took place a high voltage power line was also knocked out. i would like to underscore that ukrainian armed forces a shilling the plant and shut the plant during the shift to change. clearly, the aim of the key version was to intimidates. these approach, any clear path, launch the staff that is to say their own citizens to prevent them from going to work and in so doing to undermine the normal functioning. also the plant on the 6th of august, the ukrainian armed forces attacked the plans for the use of trust, ammunition as the shrapnel from those munitions hit. an area near a dry spent fuel storage facility and also an automated radiation monitoring host. and one of the plants staff members was also wounded as a result of ukrainian on forces showing on the 7th of august, there was

a power surge in the network, feeding the nuclear power plants. equipment was damaged with lead to the automatic disconnecting of the power line. they're gonna look at an unit number 4, which was working as a 10 percent capacity. the electricity supply for the nuclear power plant protection management system was knocked out on the emergency protection system was triggered. ukrainian stuff of the nuclear power plant were forced to suspend the operation of one of the 3 remaining energy blocks. and the capacity of the remaining 2 was reduced to 50 percent of maximums. mass strikes by the you can in amount force is on the outskirts of an echo ledge to the severing of power lines will the 40 times on the loss of power supply among those living in a negative, many of which are workers of the nuclear power plant there are those who have been killed and wounded, particularly sacrilegious is the fact that number of attacks on the nuclear power plant carried out at night while people were sleeping today. you can, you know, force attacks on the power plant and a negative. a continuing strikes were launched with the use of multiple launch rockets, systems, and heavy artillery from the right bank of the near for river,

from the territory of new petrov called last as well as monica, poland, marianna, and tamaqua, which are controlled by key of done them according to data from the regional administration, the ukrainian enforcers, as aimed at weapons at the concrete storage facilities of radioactive waste. for the time being they have not been able to hit them into serious damage. the background radiation at the nuclear power plant at the moment is within limits, but if the strikes continue, it is only a question of time we regularly sent to the a secretary. it's information bulletins with as detailed outline of the situation and these incidents to mr. president, she with what has been taking place of the last few days of the nuclear power plant is the combination of the criminal actions of the case regime against nuclear infrastructure. and the staff serving those facilities which for full months, has gone without any international reaction in the period from april to july. kia carried out a number of provocations against the nuclear power plant, with the use of drones, including trends made in poland. some of them were shot down,

some of them explosive late and comic halsy turns detonated near critically important infrastructure, which it was ne, thanks to a happy accident that this did not lead to the disrupting of the normal functioning of the plans right previously in february, ukrainians seized for russian specialists who were accompanying a supply of nuclear fuel to the roof. no nuclear power long. they were intimidated and was he just put pressure? i per fresh was put them in lines of the traditional methods used by terrorist groups. you got them on, on the 9th of march, ukrainian saboteurs blew up a power lion feeding the cooling system for the spent nuclear fuel storage facility at the chernobyl nuclear power plant. it was only thanks to the efforts of the russian forces that it was possible to avoid an accident by urgently activating diesel generators and ensuring the supply of electricity to the plant through an alternative power line from the territory of belarus. the sabotage group also blew up the only bridge that connected the plant with the town housing, the plans,

personnel, the replacement shift for a long time was not able to come to work in parallel with this. they were processed by the ukranian special forces who were threatening them with reprisals for cooperating with the occupiers and in kiev, at the same time, they were publicly shedding crocodile tears and reporting to the idea, saying that russian forces were preventing the rotation of these shifts in the plant station after the 10th review conference of the n p t, which is taking place at the moment in new york. the key of regime representatives which support number other locations are making cynical and upside accusations. saying that russia is attacking these approach a nuclear power plant. these propaganda attacks are being seized upon by the western press. all of this is being done contrary to common sense because the nuclear power plant is controlled by russian armed forces. elementary logic would suggest that our soldiers would have no reason to show either the plant or the town or themselves even to do a little more. on the 4th of march this year, as western countries convened the security council over the situation around his approach to a nuclear power launch, trying to present ukraine's sabotaged to say,

setting fire to the training center building as the actions of russian forces. even though the state of the plans at the time was under there will control. i would remind you that back then on the secretary general, miss decarlo says that a tax on nuclear facilities were a violation of international humanitarian law. the representative of the united kingdom said that international law pointed to the need for particular protection for nuclear facilities. but it's not the representative of the united states. he said to us all the world by the grace of god, had avoided a nuclear catastrophe. that an attack on the plant was an extremely irrational step and that conflict should not involve nuclear objects. the representative of front said that it was necessary to guarantee the security of the nuclear power plant. so all you prepared to repeat all of that now as applies to the actions of the ukrainian side and colon key of to stop the shelling. i would like to under school that each time the ukrainian armed forces loan strikes on the nuclear power plant, a disaster was avoided only thanks to the south las work joint work of the plant

workers and the russian service personnel who provided them with a comprehensive emergency support when necessary, fire and accidents, and personnel, and also our service personnel work hand in hand. this clearly indicates cuz our between our soldiers and ukrainian specialist there is absolutely noble communication operating that mr. president, from the very outset, we supported the efforts of the i a to ensure the nuclear and physical nuclear security of nuclear facilities in ukraine. we thought that was the director general grossi 7 principles in this area would be at the heart of the trilateral document in the format, russia, ukraine. i. e, a, however, the key, every, she refused to sign this purchase. it was then we shall flexibility and agreed that in that case we could have an agreement in the form of 2 power level agreements. russia with ya, ukraine, with the idea key of reject it, that option as well. ok folks, if you're just joining us, let me bring you up to date with what we've been discussing here. as you can see

the picture on the screen there we've been listening and for un security cancer. holding this meeting over the situation at zachary z, a at nuclear plant, we heard earlier the u. n. n. secure, see nuclear chief of raphael got c describing the latest information that he has about the status of what's actually happening in the nuclear facility. and he called the situation of frankly alarming explaining that shelling which the russians claimed that the ukrainians are carrying out and the other side claims the opposite is bits in the plan in constant danger. we just heard from the russian ambassador there to the un just reiterating their points of view. let's women kristin salumi, who's at united nations. she joins us now and we heard a lot of information there. kristen m a lots of detailed information about what's currently going on at the plant, but i think the whole tone was frankly that the un is extremely worried and alarmed . absolutely, we got that briefing from.
