team of investigators from the international atomic agents energy agency into the country to investigate exactly what is happening and the extent of what damage if any, a has happened to the plant the largest one in europe, both russia and ukraine, say that they want the inspectors to come in. but there's been a, an inability to agree on a time and a place and a route for the inspectors to get into the plant itself. we've just heard in recent hours from the director general of the i, e, a raphael mariano grossi, that he believes that the visit could now happen in a matter of days. and the un says that there gravely concerned about the situation . they are all the more so since ukraine has reported to the i e, a damage to the facility taking place in just the last few days. so including

a power supply, a power source being a power line, being disconnected to the plant and infrastructure damage. so there's concern about the amount of damage there and a desire to get in to assess the extent of the damage and also to calm the tensions around it and call kristen, this is of girls. little forget it. inactive wars are now worried is the un about the security of this nuclear bond? it will not surprise lang, lee. they are gravely concerned said the director general of the i. e. a did say that the situation is highly volatile and fragile, and i obviously a, a strike at the wrong part of the plant could be very dangerous. he said in his last briefing to the security council that the reactors to the plant are well protected and appear to be functioning normally. but did warn that further damage

would have dramatic consequences. not only for the area but far beyond it. and ukraine has suggested that russia is also attempting to disconnect the plant or worn that it could attempt to disconnect the plant from the ukrainian power grid and attempt to redirect that energy towards crimea. the u. n. would be very concerned about that, obviously because it's a dangerous maneuver to do such a thing, but also it would disconnect millions of ukrainians from vital power supplies. heading into winter. the un secretary general has called for a demilitarized zone around the plant, asking for troops to be withdrawn, and all military activity in the area to stop russia so far has shown no indication that it would be willing to pull back troops there. and it's worth pointing out that the russian troops are stationed in the plant,

but ukrainian workers continue to operate at so it's a very tense situation there. and again, the concern being that one misstep could have catastrophic impacts. kristen money, thanks chris, and leave me the un in new york. ah, malaysia's former prime minister has begun a 12 year prison sentence after the country's top court threw out an appeal over a multi $1000000000.00 graph. scandal that represents was found guilty of money laundering and corruption in 2020 malaysian authorities accusing him of siphoning cash from a state fund known as one m d b. the fund was sent up in 2009 with nancy browsers as its chairman. it was meant to encourage economic development through foreign investment, but trouble started in 2015 when it mr. loan payment to investors of half a $1000000000.00 that unsettled markets and forced the government to investigate.

that this would allow for the revival of the 2015 agreement, one, the former president, donald trump, abandoned in 2018 and current president joe biden is seeking to revive. now what we can tell you is that al jazeera has confirmed that iran has a very different view. in fact, an advisor to the iranian negotiating team tells al jazeera that the claims being made in u. s. media reports are false, still the washington side through the us state department is saying that even if these hurdles are overcome gaps remain and so finalizing this deal could take a little longer. still, this is coming at a very precarious time, given the fact that there are reports that are run now has enough uranium enriched to make a number of possible nuclear weapons. iraq supreme judiciary council has
