top un officials have again raised concerns about the danger the russian occupied operation, nuclear plants and ukraine. a calling for the immediate withdrawal of troops and the demilitarization of the area security council, helen emergency meeting to discuss icing near the facility. ukraine reported further shutting in the plant on by saturday and sunday, which has damaged infrastructure ahead of the u. n's atomic watchdogs as a team is expected to travel to the site within days. if talks with russia, all successful agreement is urgently needed to re establish the parisha as purely civilian infrastructure and to ensure the safety of the area. we must be clear that any potential damage to the plant or any other nuclear facilities in ukraine, leading to a possible nuclear incident, would have catastrophic consequences. not only for the immediate vicinity,
7:08 am
but for the region and beyond. to paraphrase the secretary general's blunt warning, any potential damage does upper asia is suicidal. kristen salami has been following developments from un headquarters in new york. well, the united nations has called on both sides to refrain from any military activity in the vicinity of the plant and to withdraw troops from the area. they say that the tension and the competing narratives is exactly why the united nations in international monitors need to get in there, or they're calling for access for a team of investigators from the international atomic energy agency to get in. and russia and ukraine both say they want that as well. russia says they've been on board for a visit from the i. e a to the site since june. ukraine says that i just earlier today,
7:09 am
their foreign minister was in touch with the i. e a. this is the ukrainian ambassador speaking at the meeting earlier, saying that things are progressing and logistics are being worked out. and also that ukraine would like to see a permanent presence of the i. e, a at the site until they can regain control of it. now preparations for this mission, according to the u. n. r. in fact, ongoing and the i. e, a director general, raphael mariano grossi made a statement earlier today saying that he does expect that mission to be possible in the next couple of days. if these final issues can be worked out what those final issues are a bit vague from all of the parties concerned, but everybody says they want it. i and everybody's hoping it'll happen in the next couple of days. the u. s. military says it's carried out a strike near the syrian city of deer as all, and says it targeted facilities used by groups affiliated with iran's revenues,

7:11 am
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 iran now has enough uranium enriched to make a number of possible nuclear weapons. of course in thailand is set to hand down a routing that will decide if the prime minister can remain in power have been purchased in the capital by coca ahead of the court's decision. calling for the prime

7:13 am
particularly the covert shutdowns the last couple of years and increasingly accosted living crisis is hitting many ties. in the pocket, he himself is quite an unpopular figure. seemed very much a rather brusque military man. and i think the opposition parties want to get the idea in the voting public's mind that this is their chance to make a permanent change, even if the constitutional court doesn't get rid of him this week. so head on al jazeera, oh ha, supporters of argentina's, vice president, head back off to prosecute, to see, to put her behind bars on donations or in to try to recover the bodies. se lebanese migrants trapped hunters of mrs. lacey ah withdrew and he has begun the faithful wold copies on its way to castle brook your

have been processed in the capital bangkok, ahead of the court's decision. calling for pri youth to step down our families and poland a bracing themselves for tough winter. the country is facing wide spread cold shortages after russian imports a few band. now unlike the rest of europe, poland relies on coal rather than gas for power and heating. andrew simmons traveled to cuts of it said to see how people are preparing for the cold months ahead. poland prides itself on its potential for being totally independent of russia for its energy needs. but there's a problem. it's a shortage of coal, not gas, like the rest of europe, rough, our rules, coal seller, is normally stocked up for winter by now. but he can't find any cold to buy. and if he could, he'd pay almost 4 times what he used to nearest them on golden kim. i'm not a minor or a geologist, put the coal is right here beneath her feet and i've been trying to buy it for 3
7:18 am
months with 0 result, the bridge. he's right, this region is rich with coal, but polish production is limited and the government has banned imported coal from russia, even though it's cheaper and more suitable for domestic use. we didn't invest in nuclear power yet, or we cannot rely on natural gas. so all we have is gold when it comes to the heating sector, the situation is even worse because we were heavily dependent on russian. ready co, poland burns, a lot of coal, 87 percent of the total for households across the european union. coal mines surrounded by cues of trucks can't meet the demand. and if people knew the level of profiteering going on, they be even more alarmed. there's a reason that truck drove us from all over poland or spending days on end and cues like these. it's because the loads may be small, but the profits are big. drivers are known to make at least a 100 percent profit from
7:19 am
a coal yard dealer who will then raise the price by at least another 100 percent. this driver admits the 2nd old will suffer for the news or be tagged. what the government should do is give pension as a special allowance on coal delivered to their door, and it's sick. i don't want to profit from human misery, but that's how it is. the government says an annual coal allowance of around $630.00 a year will help a ministers say companies are importing coal ahead of the coming winter. polish companies are now importing call from other countries from colombia, indonesia, south africa, and replacing with that does the quantities of called and we're coming from russia . it's a bit of a different logistics. so it, it creates challenges. but right across poland, people like this homeowner feel the government isn't doing enough. andrew simmons, al jazeera kat of it, sir poland italian fall right. lita ga maloney has launched
7:20 am
a campaign to become the country's fussed female prime minister maloney whose brothers of italy policy is ahead. in the polls criticized the european union's energy strategy. she told a crowd of supporters that the sky high prices have forced businesses and families on to their knees. next month snapped election was cooled off. the promised somalia donkeys coalition government collapsed a form, a u. s. police officer has pleaded guilty a role in the death of breo to tater a blank woman shot and killed during a police raid. time it was killed in her home in 2020 and her death bogged protests of a racial justice and police brutality across the u. s. federal investigate to say kelly good lead. conspired to create a cover story and added line to the such want shebra tonchee has more kelly good look now has pat guilty to falsify the arrest warrant that convinced a judge to, to, to allow it to go ahead and then conspiring to cover up what she did with the other
7:21 am
officer, it saw that she will be giving evidence against 2 of the other officers who have been charged by the department of justice. there's a 3 offices in charge with our bureaucratic side of the raid. another office has been charged with excessive force. this is the officer who basically stood outside brianna taylor's apartment, just shooting wildly into the apartment, despite the fact that he could see anything. there were blinds down on a block out, but he was just firing away with it with his guns. he's going to be charged with excessive force. again, he was acquitted on that charge in the state court already though once. but we should also remember them that just leaves the 2 offices who are actually inside brianna, taylor taylor apartment, who burst in they claim that they announced themselves brown, tennis boyfriend who was the big said, said they did not. they're the ones who actually 5 to 10 years, many sholtes inside the apartments 6 with which hit brown until one of which killed them. they haven't been charged with anything. so it's clearly welcomed that people
7:22 am
are being charged by the federal government constitutional crimes. but this is clearly fatal all out of state level, but, but it's still being looked at at least something moving forward that the people are slowly perhaps beginning to be held accountable for. for the steph, prosecutors in the u. s. city of atlanta have decided not to pursue charges against the 2 white police officers involved in the killing of a black man in 2020 or sha brooks was shot dead off. the officers responded to complaints that he had fallen asleep in his car at a drive through restaurants. when they tried to rust them, brooks grabbed a laser from them and find it as he ran away. one of the officers shelton in the back. even the quickly changing circumstances, was it objectively reasonable that he use deadly force? and we conclude to was supporters of argentina's, vice president, christina fernandez the question i have been protesting at what they say is
7:23 am
judicial persecution against her. oh, the former president greeted the crowns outside congress as they chanted against a prosecutor's decision to seek a 12 year prison sentence in her corruption trial. fernandez is accused of diverting public funds during her time in office, but many an apparent his party say she's been talk, is it because she championed the pool but only got one of my people. i like the only way they can control her is to put her in prison. nobody can bait christina. that's why they created the circus. oh, it's unfair. i love her with all my heart. i had to be here. i couldn't let her down. oblivious former president, even morales treated his support, saying, as we had worn, our sister, christina fernandez, kushner is the victim of relentless attack of lo fi or political warfare that uses justice is a weapon to disqualify her brazil's former present. delma reset also tweeted her
