12:02 am
well, they're warm. welcome to on news. our fierce are growing in that fighting and eastern ukraine will lead to a nuclear disaster. russia and ukraine are currently blaming each other for the shelling of this apparition, nuclear plant that she rips largest atomic power complex. will you ins demanding that all military activity in the area be silt immediately? it's the 2nd time in a week that 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 ch are normal worlds worst euclid catastrophe. gum abuse that he gets off the bush and we'll see to, 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. well, russian forces control the facility which is on the front line. the will of course,
12:03 am
it's operated by ukrainian engineers, is one of 4 nuclear power plants, current. again, operation in ukraine. green says russia wants to use the plan to be direct power to crimea, which moscow amex back in 2014. while the united nations security council has held a meeting over those nuclear fears and the head of the un nuclear war, stoke says shells of london near the plants external electrical power source. and the ramifications could be dire will. ringback well aware, perhaps these meeting and these base base to get back to the suppression, they get integrating rapidly to the bay alarm on august. the plan will start setting resolving in 7, logins,
12:04 am
several explosions within a site offered their followers. be particular, i mean, very concerned about last week that maybe maybe getting action g o, but i would say he won't even stop it. these maybe the reactions we are, we are such a large will be who need very serious cars or rushes ambassador blamed ukraine for the recent attacks and urged us to ignore what he described as ukrainian propaganda. we're going to keep up with what these propaganda attracts. are being seized upon by the wisdom press. all of this is being done contrary to common sense because the nuclear power plant is controlled
12:05 am
by russian on 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 it. on the 4th of march, this year, western countries convened the security council over the situation around his approach. a nuclear power plant trying to present ukraine's sabotage. i'd say, setting fire to the training center building as the actions of russian forces, even though the state, the plants at the time was under their full control. meanwhile, ukrainians, ambassadors said his country is ready to assist nuclear inspectors, but russia needs to stop the shelling. we strongly reject their terms by russia to escape responsibility for the delay by blaming ukraine by blaming the united nations secretary general by blaming the you and think it there it. i saw the case not only to day, but also with the russian foreign ministry statement of august,
12:06 am
the 9th. we stand ready to provide the mission with all necessary assistance and facilitate is travel through ukrainian controlled territory. mr. president, it is absolutely clear that the product, provocative russian practices so selling these that and b b and the city of enter godard. bowes, an unprecedented threat to nuclear security for ukraine. you, europe, and the war and the world has a whole. well kristin slew me is at the united nations and joins us now. interesting. kristen, that it was russia who called this meeting. why did they call it? and what did we find out by listening? and they called it, they said, because they're concerned about the security of the nuclear plant and they want, i. e, a inspectors to come in. that notion was challenged, as you heard by ukraine, who said it's part of russia's attempt to deceive and western countries in the
12:07 am
security council. also saying that we wouldn't be in this position if russia had not legally invaded ukraine. so the goal of this was to air their differences, i guess in public. and here from the i a e, a inspector, or director general raphael grossi to get his perspective on what's happening. he was very clear in calling for the need to get in and actually look at what's happening on the ground in order to make an assessment. he said his role is technical and not political. and he was very careful to sound like he was not taking sides in the issue one way or the other. but he did say that the situation was very grave and that russia was controlling the scene. and in order for him to get in, he needed their help and also the help of the ukrainians as well. so he is
12:08 am
pushing to get in there while russia and ukraine continued to trade. their barbs as to who's responsible i russia said it didn't make sense for them to shall the plant when they were there with their own troops. he admitted that there's a military equipment there to protect the facility at speaking to reporters afterwards. all of this, of course, has gotten the attention of the international community, i think at a time when some fatigue was setting in and hearing about and dealing with the situation on the ground there. this again has brought it to the forefront of the international community. is attention getting the u. n. involved the secretary general issued a statement earlier to day calling for a d escalation, calling for a demilitarized zone around the power plant itself, saying that the troops need to get out of there, that it needs to be
12:09 am
a demilitarized zone going forward. so the united nations is looking to calm things down. i and both sides in the conflict are trying to get attention focused on the situation there. chris in saloon, they're joining us live from the united nations. thanks for falling that for us. kristen and keith will ukraine is already home to the site of the world's worst nuclear disaster. the 1986 chernobyl mount them killed hundreds of people and spread radioactive contamination over lots of you. those who survived are urging extreme caution around this apparition site john hender reports now from chernobyl . the path to the chernobyl power plant is barren, overgrown, and lonesome. this amusement park near by was due to open 5 days after the 1986 nuclear meltdown whose name is now synonymous with disaster. it never did.

12:11 am
very worried about which believe it or not. this is the center of the town of cricket. that's the cultural building behind me. on the day after the mil, vantage or noble, all 50000 residents were evacuated and not a soul has lived here since. now nature his reclaim the landscape on which prep it was built. the president of the company that owns his apparition plant says russian forces have placed trucks and explosives inside turbine holds near the reactor and are firing from the plants grounds. russia blames ukraine for the strikes on the plant, is a motto, newsletter, as unsafe, continued this way. unlike chernobyl, vladimir forbids. he says, zapper asia is europe's biggest nuclear plant in it lies in a heavily populated region with us and what a theme would. but if they're able to double, this won't happen in russia. the westfield consequence is bulgaria, romania, moldova, and poland. he hopes both russia and ukraine have learned the lessons of chernobyl
12:12 am

has been killed in a suicide attack. enough gonna stun witness to say, a disabled man approach. while him or her connie in a seminary in cub who he then detonated. expose is hidden in his static leg. i so says it was behind the attack. but some of the debate has more than from cobble. sure. so he will on 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 cobbles. when the 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
12:16 am
a blow to especially the few logical side of the dollar. but it also comes and bears all the hallmarks of eisen 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 heartland 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 an ice resurgence in the early days of and dollars to go were last year. but the group has been able to crack down on ice and remnants go after their sleeper says and infiltrate their intelligence has been able to infiltrate. i feel as well, but isaac continues to have a real the presence in this country is been carrying out. detox again, wasps and other faces 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 apply nathan. and definitely attack such as this one and previous ones which have been claimed by i think, are meant to deny that the us attorney general says he personally approved

12:23 am
wave of summer. after temperatures broke 40 degrees celsius for the 1st time last month. now experts awarding the driver can also increase the risk of flooding the university of reading his release this video, showing how long it takes a walk to be absorbed into dry ground. as you can see, the punch slammed on the right barely absorbs any water, a tall, so heavy rainfall were such land could lead to flash floods. well, this july was the driest on record for some english regions, and water restrictions have been announced in some parts. rope thompson is a meteorologist at the university of reading and he was involved in that expire and he joins us now. hi there, rob is great to have you on the program. a pretty interesting watching, not experiment there. kind of tells the story and a really excellent way, but told me about your research and why it's important that we understand what can happen in the situations of severe drive and then followed by of course rainfall. so monday, the 8th,
12:24 am
i sent various things on writing fall and flash flooding. and i think we need to be really aware that off to roy hate. why? when the class where the part that it doesn't accept was he think very for graham to be 1st the best for the war to go the other way around. the really like round comp time more ways to get pose on the top. oh, ones off down hills. and that can mean something they have me why can't get it, it runs off and you get floods, it will settle. it doesn't get into the system properly. and you get funding, and i mean really dangerous flash flooding can be really life threatening. is it can happen fairly quickly and really suddenly, i mean, it becomes a real danger, but it's not help the fact that hate wide, generally speaking thickly in the u. k. y n with thunderstorms and really heavy how would you tend to get that really heavy ones so that it's a real danger? so what is it a situation and forgive me if i'm extrapolating too far now, but we do a lot of stories here where we kind of see it passing around the world where we
12:25 am
have dr. perhaps fire. and then that extreme flooding that you're talking about is that in your view cycle, that we're only going to see more off. i'm not exactly what we can do as you say, this is something that happens all over the world. and it happened in pakistan recently where they had a long way and then flooding right afterwards, the vice me to troy grand is complex of the water. and so this sort of thing happens all the time and because on the climate change, we expect to things that might, the problem was we expect more heat wave a lot that he worked a lot longer to be hotter and threats to be worked as well. but we also expect heavy weight when it come to be more than 10. so we expect for both sides of that problem to both get worse. it definitely means we think flash flooding is going to be a much bigger shape in our changing climate. and we really need to be worrying about with that. so we have to warn people in our existence really aren't yet well developed. and that was going to be my next question, which is, how can you,
12:26 am
i guess, mitigate against, i mean, apart from becoming green are all runs in the very long term. but is it about planning and making people aware one of those early steps, particularly somewhere like here in the u. k. where we mitigate against flood risk and lots of other ways. one of those early steps we might be looking at, i think firstly, we need to look at ways, try and limit the dangers of the flash floods. things like clearing brightens and someone will help. but realistically, we can't do everything in front me. we can't stop things like parks and so one large area is like how when it's not, it's not realistic. we could walk them all over will through it and also the most of them not realistic that way. i think that sort of thing isn't really viable. i mean, we need to think is well about how we can get better warnings and problem, even warnings on the really short notice that flash flooding. it could be possible because we are going to be in, even in the next decade,
12:27 am
we're not likely to be able to specify a thunderstorm will hit one time and not the time next to it. not where, where the full costing is going to be in that time scale. so we need to be able to give warnings that generic like we do now with the lowest areas that the west of thunderstorm. and then on much short notice. again, this is a particular area where you need to be more aware if you want very large areas to take action against my body. most places won't get the flat. you can't realistically be warning. millions of people when only a few 100 will be affected each time. very interesting. delta rob thompson, joining is their rope. thank you. thank you for that. tons of dead fish have washed up on the shore of a river that flows through poland and germany. and what's been described as an ecological disaster. officials are investigating possible external external contamination of the older river. they believe it's also been made more potent by

12:29 am
on saturday. look at this london up to 35 degrees, so we take a look at the 3 day forecast. well above average, i think the next chance of seen some rain will come on monday and even then the temperature is at 27 degrees. it's been dry across portugal as well. we've got a wild fire burning across central air is no real relief here. say for the odd shower popping up and across the balkans. this is really where our activity is with some showers and storms contained to more southern parts of the balkan. so pick up the story there, that means some showers and thunderstorms across greece could see some more showers for is stumble on friday as well. now as we go toward africa, we're just blanketed in rain from the gambia rate to a c or the own through to liberia and bursts of rain across nigeria. now, slipping further toward the south, get ready for the cape provinces of south africa. we've got a number of weather fronts that are gonna margin over the course of the weekend. so by the end of the weekend, i see air in play, cape town,

been put forward, yet no action is taken. the rather than government continue to deny the evidence that is actually the jets. but what we know with the evidence that's being presented, even though us states the saying that it's credible evidence to be used by was really bothering the communities. is that the united government safe through their states? they have credible evidence yet they're not taking strong actions. guess rhonda for that evidence, why am i saying that the u. s. has a law called public law 19456. that says that the secretary of states has the power to hold a to any nation. so it is surprising to us that the 2nd after is a meeting that the credible witness yet is still asking for dialogue. when we know that in 2012 to bring a name for the m 23 uprising, you will leave loading of age to run. actually end up being
12:41 am
2012. and so kimberly, and i think what i'm hearing from you is is why wait, why not deliver that a night? because where is talking going to get us and where has hasn't, god is indeed in the path. yes. i mean, it's very clear why it's important to we've all a, this particularly military 8th, the united, a group of experts saying that the random government is supporting militarily the m . 23. that has displaced close to a 1000000 commodities people for the past 6 months. they are using weapons provided to them through u. s. military support. this is us taxpayers money. so as long as we, though revolt a will continue to see that the continuous support. and i'm not saying that, alleging that this will continue. we have seen that by 2012. when the u. s. government had evidence that run that was supporting the m $23.00. what barack
12:42 am
obama did at a time was revolting. $200000.00 of military age to a military training to the run, the military that actually had it very impacts impacts. so we know that aggressive diplomacy, either we pressure or session, actually helped in bringing about piece of stability. what we are seeing right now is discussions and dialogues which we don't believe after 20 years of war in d. c. bring them to the conference, run that will continue to deny its involvement. but it's not the government of speaking a saying that we have a mean that's only if the you and group of expert including the secret just at the beginning. so saying that is credible evidence exists yet no, actually sticking to whole run day kind of before isa continuous enterprise and can release politics. and when we step and come out with thinking, of course, about the long run in violence all the way back to 1996. and just remind our
12:43 am
viewers of what the heart of this kind of pattern of violence and, and why, of course, it's so difficult to make progress, as you say, with, with words. it's the framework which we're going to look at the course conflict in 1996 random uganda event of the congo in 1998 there, reinvent the call and left the only night in 2002 after the signing of the peace accords. they actually control territory in the d r c. so there is a claim by the random government that they are going after the f d. l does committed genocide in run. but we know that control the cost is $96.00, actually territory and they even were in the government. in the case of run, the in general just started fools, $997.00, the commodities army chief of staff at the time. so we not have control it would have been doing during this period. they are p for congress resources to they run.
12:44 am
that is the number one exporter of the call culture. that when they do not have deposits, that's close to the pong exports. so we see that the pilfer income was resources going through compiler. it's going put together. commodities are being displacing mass land that being taken from them. no action. so while we are calling now, after 20 years of war, in 2010, the united nation high commission for human rights, publish a report that is called the united nation mapping exercise report. this report calls will something in the congo war crimes, crimes against humanity. and possible genocide if proven in the competent court. he also call for justice a creation of an international tribunal for it argues that because the crimes of yesterday have not been the temperature. all these problems have be held accountable. this is why we have a continuous cycle for balance. this is why can release the nobel peace prize
