11:03 am
e, a, the united nations, a nuclear watchdog, is that the power was disconnected and at least twice from the power grid. and this was caused mostly by fire is happening around the area. and that generated some type of damage. you know, it says that we know that right now the plant has been reconnected. we're trying to find out, to what extent. but i think that what's important at this point is that precedent landscape one the world about the possibility of a nuclear disaster. and the most important thing also is that the un nuclear watch, the a makes it to that the to verify the extent of the damage that has been ongoing. as soon as possible. there's been fighting and shelling around all that area. since russia took up 4010 nuclear power plant back in march and presidents landscape, obviously trying to race attention to what is going on there. there's lots of fear in ukraine about what could happen if something goes wrong. there's the history of
11:04 am
true, know will for example, also russia is right now controlling the plan that we present around 20 percent of this country's electricity. we know that because of the conflicts right now is what each alerts sectors of ukraine, right now have no electricity. and that's a problem in feet is for example, like support each other because they're fighting ongoing their and the hospitals, for example, need that electricity is almost suddenly the war in ukraine is still going, especially in the southern and eastern part of the country where the fighting is raging rushes president has all the expansion of the armed forces that vladimir putin signed a decree to increase the number of military personnel from 1900000 to more than 2000000. the order will come into effect in january. will russian men age 18 to $27.00, are required to serve one year in the military. another millions of households in the united kingdom bracing for an 80 percent rise in the energy bills from october, on average that will meet an increase miranda. $2300.00 a year to more than 3 and
11:05 am
a half. felton surgeon, food fuel and energy cost has been blamed on war ukraine and the pandemic. so sonya gaga is live for us from our london studio in the shorter and sonya. this is a colossal increase. them tell us more row was behind it. good. yes, nick, it is really a quite devastating for a lot of households across britain as they wake up this morning to realize exactly how it's going to impact at how they budget for their households as wells and not increase 80 percent. that will mean literally adding hundreds of pounds to their bills every single month with already so many of them struggling to pay these both of course, not forgetting that we are in a greater cost of living crisis as it is. food price is going up as well, and people really feeling a squeeze on their purse is as well. now of course, most of these people who are going to be most drastically affected those who are
11:06 am
already surviving on the bread line as well. for them, the alternative will be that they just simply cannot pay, they will not be able to fulfill the pay the need to pay for those energy costs, which then is then sort of then transport up to the, the energy companies themselves. but of course, there is also a vacuum of a government policy as to what exactly is going to happen. there are talks about how there are there are ready is money, but promise for those families who are going to be struggling with those bells. but many say that is simply not enough. and that they, i don't know exactly how they're going to be dealing with this enormous addition to their costs. this winter, the comfort of a cup of tea. that's about to get more expensive. came eldridge lives with her mother and publicly subsidized housing. it has dump on insulated walls that leak heat during cold weather. and they fear that energy price hike will make heating
11:07 am
their home this winter impossible. the whole fly is riddled with mold and we've not even hit winter yet, and people can't afford to pay that bill. i don't know how anyone is going to survive this winter without shivering in their homes. built of already doubled. they're looking for the war again, it just doesn't make any sense. the jump in wholesale and consumer fuel prices comes at a time when some energy companies have reported record profit. while some companies have pledged grants to help consumers the raising of the price, scott is still expected to have a devastating effect on millions of households. the energy price cap sets by the government regulator, every 3 month limits what a household pays for each unit of energy. this still means a household bill can still go up if more gas or electricity is use. the cap takes into account the cost of maintaining and operating energy networks and build in a profit margin. the energy supply is, but it's mainly dependent on whole so energy prices,
11:08 am
which are at unprecedented highs. well, households will get a discounts many say it will not be enough to help the most vulnerable solution needs to be that we need emergency financial support, especially for those most in need. over and above the amount that's already been pledged by the government. and we need that to help stop more people falling into fuel poverty. and ideally towards this to help people out people who are already in feel policy. the challenge for many will be choosing whether to eat or heat their homes, a cost of living crisis that is hitting britons poorest families hardest. and that is set to work in the weeks a months to come with further big increases in gas prices guaranteed. so now you mentioned to the political vacuum in the u. k. as the country waits, a new prime minister. what is the government doing about the situation? well, as of now, there are promises that are being made by the to leadership candidates. but of
11:09 am
course, we're not going to know exactly what is going to happen until a new leader is installed in early september. but so far, the promises that $100.00 are going to be given to households in order to be able to cope with this with more being given for those who are on benefits as well. but still huge question marks as to how this is going to be dealt with. there are campaigns which already being mounted, such as don't pay you k, where they're trying to get as many people signed up to this as possible. not to claim that they are not going to to pay any of a few bills in order to force the government to actually deal with this as a matter of urgency next. so, you know, thanks for that. sonya jaeger reporting that from london. thank you. to pakistan where the climate change minister says, months of heavy monsoon rains have created a humanitarian disaster of epic proportions. 937 people have been killed since june and more than 30000000 people have been affected. the province of cinders,
