the war in ukraine now. and the team from the united nations nuclear watched our gauge and see the i. e. a is meeting with ukraine's present burmese lensky in cave . this comes before the delegation is to travel to these operation nuclear power plant. fighting near europe's largest nuclear facility has drawn international concern about a potential disaster. the i 8 team is bigger being given access to inspect at the site which is controlled by russia. meanwhile, e u defense minister is our meeting in prague. they've pledged to ramp up weapons production and boost military training for the ukranian armed forces. there are many trending initiative underway, but the needs are enormous. and we need to ensure the coherence of these efforts.
6:20 pm
and i can say that all members stage agree clearly, and that and on launching, do work necessary to define the parameters. florida your military assistant missions for the great. i'm not saying that this was decided today. in any case, this is, are you, formal, conscious of your former conceal vasa, big decisions. natasha butler is standing by in paris with more on the e. you defense ministers meeting in pride. but 1st i speak to teresa bo was in ukraine's capital key forest. so teresa, let's start with a meeting between the i 18 and president lensky, a much anticipated visit to these operation. nuclear sites are from this i 18. what are we expecting? and when do we expect them to actually reach the site? well, that's correct. the a team is already here in kev. there's 14 persons that compose the
6:21 pm
team. and what we're hearing is that they're likely to travel to the nuclear power plant on wednesday. that's when the tree is likely to happen. and this is happening as a some crucial members of ukraine's government have been accusing russia of shelling the road that they have to take to make it all the way to support you to the nuclear power plant. earlier today, the director of the final. but he met with president of the me to say lensky there . he said that he was going to make sure that they found the safest road to make it all the way to the plant. let's not forget that they have to go through the front line and that's why, you know, it's an extremely dangerous situation. for many, they're trying to find the best path. there was a big debate initially when, when this mission was 1st planned on how they were actually going to make it there . and moscow was pushing for that trip to be made through russia or to crimea. well,
6:22 pm
they came here to keep under expected to be traveling, as i said before on wednesday. so you know, there's been lots of information about fresh fighting for shuttling all around that area. lots of concerns about the possibility of radioactive leaks. so their main purpose, while they're there, is to check the plant that it has not been damaged or that very serious damage has happened. there also verify the tax on the situation of the ukrainian technicians that are working there. but also, of course, that all the safety systems are in place to prevent nuclear disaster and another front line and flash point in this conflicts right now, theresa is concave and care song. there's been fighting there, intense fighting, bring us up to speed with what's happening. well, as most of the fighting right now of this war is happening in the southern and on the eastern part of the country. but now all the focus is on what's happening in
6:23 pm
the south. it seems that ukraine has moved from being on the defensive, on the offensive, and with a promise. and there's been lots of talk in the past. we've of a counter offensive promise of precedent follow me to fill in people, livery the territories that have been occupied by russia. in fact, he said that the russians must start running to save their lives when the war began . and this is extremely interesting. most of the russian forces move to take over the southern part of the country from the crimea and peninsula that is currently occupied by russia. so they made it all the way they passed her phone, make it to make alive, and that's where repelled. and that's where they stayed, and that's why they were unable to take the southern part of the rest of the country will make it to the city, although they sat and where the i right now we've had a phone and that's why the government has said that they have launched several attacks on that. every other fighting with western provided weapons, high precision, rocket launchers like high mars, among others that have been provided by the united states. so we're going to have
6:24 pm
to see whether they have enough manpower to carry this out, or the weapons necessary to be successful. however, russia is saying that they're fighting back and that they're still planning to continue to, to complete the operations here in ukraine. there's also fighting the eastern part of the country in the city or had he, russia has been trying to take it from the very beginning of this war 6 months ago . they have been unable to do it, but there's been fresh shelling, rush, and shelling on that city. at least 5 people were killed. so you know, this war is still ongoing. thousands of people have been killed. thousands of evil have been injured, and millions have been displaced. theresa, thank you very much for that update. theresa board live in keith less now bringing natasha butler in paris for more on the e. you defense ministers meeting natasha. they've agreed on setting up training missions for ukrainian truths. tell us more about

yes as well. we heard for murphy used foreign policy chief use a barrel. he says that these defense ministers that have been meeting in progress for the past couple of days have agreed in principle on setting up on working on a putting together e, you trading missions for ukrainian forces. the idea is that ukrainian troops would be trained militarily outside of ukraine in neighboring you countries. now, burrell has said in the past that this was something he wanted to put on the agenda during this meeting because he said, look, the you, as training missions like this in europe, in other areas, in asia and africa. why not for ukrainian forces that we don't have any details exactly as to when these are training missions would begin and, and they do have to be a green lighted by you leaders at a summit next month. nevertheless, it does look as if all 27 members states defense ministers are certainly on board. also in frag, natasha, the you foreign ministers were discussing
6:26 pm
a potential visa band for russians. are they all in agreement about this? my sonia contentious issue. it seems foreign ministers have been discussing this today. they will conclude their discussions on wednesday. what we have is on one side, some nordic, and eastern european countries that are pushing for a full ban on it. you visas for russians, you know, we've heard things from leaders from some of those countries, from politicians, from some of those countries saying things like, look, it's not fair. the russians can be coming to the european union on holiday to the cities, to go shopping and live on beaches. while there are people dying in ukraine while rush of wages this war in ukraine. they want to see an all out ban. on the other side though, you have some countries including france, germany, the say in all out band would be counter productive. there would fuel anti you sentiment that a would a bolster putins or anti western narrative, and they say,
6:27 pm
it just isn't worth doing. what they say though is would be a much better way. ford is a compromise. it looks as if that's probably what we will get when this meeting wraps up on wednesday, a compromise a well be a lot more difficult for russians to get visas for the you more expensive, more administration, but not an all right ban. natasha. thank you for that. natasha butler live in paris . still ahead on this al jazeera usa. why the families of those who drowned off the coast of lebanon, hear them never get their loved ones release. first, the heat wave now flooding, where in china with tens of thousands of people have been forced to move to safety . ah, they got set on day one of the ways don't mean as a ukrainian by and not, not in the well number one thing ah

6:31 pm
of our top stories kami is returning to rocks, capitalized supporters of she. i need them off and leave bank ice cream, so i thought i gave them a deadline to end their demonstration that turned violent on monday. at least 30 people were killed. humanitarian organizations in pakistan is struggling to get 8 to more than 33000000 people affected by the voice flags, same decades. more than 1100 people have died since the mom rains began in june. un secretary general is appealing $460000000.00 in 8. and the team from the u. n. nuclear watchdog agency is meeting ukraine's present volume is lensky key. the talks come ahead of the delegation, traveling to inspect the rush and controls operation. nuclear power. how to use now any solomon islands has temporarily band u. s. navy ships entering its ports. the suspension was confirmed by the u. s. embassy australia in australia. it comes amid wising tension between hon yara,
6:32 pm
and washington and its allies. after the pacific island nation signed a security agreement with beijing in april in a statement, solomon islands, prime minister, said the moratorium would apply to old naval ships. well, let's talk to cynthia watson about this. she's an independent asia pacific unless joining us from annapolis, maryland in the u. s. thank you very much, cynthia, for being with us on angie's there. what, why do you think this moratorium is coming into effects now? and how big of a setback is it for the us? well i, i think that those set back is more in public relations and politically, at this point has relatively minor implications. but it does go to the way we interpret what's going on. oh, i think there are 2 things that are largely being ignored, as people look at this at discussion of the solomons over the last. now almost 6
6:33 pm
months. one is, everything has become defined as great power competition as if the solomons were not an independent actor in all of this. and this could be something as simple as domestic challenges to the regime where they've decided to default to bawling, to going back to what was says about visits. and prior acknowledgement of visits is not uncommon. so you don't think it plays into the, on the, sorry to interrupt. you don't think it plays into the tension between beijing and washington. it certainly plays into it, but i don't think that it's something that should be interpreted unless we want to make it into something. as a grandiose move on the part of beijing to force the solomon's to do something with it. that may in fact be what happened, but there are other plausible explanations as well that have
6:34 pm
a lot to do with internal politics within the solomons. and we are forgetting that as the idea of great power competition makes everything into a 0 sum equation. yeah, well the reason i ask is because of course shai, the white house has accused china of trying to, to bully and cor, as these a pacific island nation is in no pacific region of countries there of doing their bidding, basically. but china is facing its own economic problems right now. if, as you say, this is truly has tremendous. yes, china has tremendous issues right now. great. not the least of which is that they've announced as of today when the party congress will occur in october, which will become the primary focus of what happens within china for the next couple of months. right. so if i understand, you're absolutely right that the u. s. has made that accurate is harkins zation at
6:35 pm
the same time. china regularly accuses the united states of things and we don't accept that as gospel either. her. my point is simply that if every thing in the world happens as if it were soley driven by great power competition, that leaves out a lot of possible explanations. indeed. now coming back to china as he said, it's been facing problems, right. and if the relationship between beijing and the solomon islands is based on financial support, do you think this could back fire on, on, on the solomon islands? absolutely. because one of the things paging regularly does is manipulate the countries that it seeks to engage with. you're absolutely right about that accusations have flown because beijing regularly expects something back for his investment. so it could fall back on the solomon's as a negative. at the same time,
6:36 pm
we just don't know how it will play out, because paging frankly, could lose interest as the mounting toll of domestic challenges. whether it's the drought, whether it is the party congress, whether it's the jobs that are being lost and trying to, to the drought, the heat wave and all of the other implications we haven't even mentioned. all of those are things that are going to be front and center in china right now. thank you very much for talking to us about this. thank you for your insight, cynthia watson, asia pacific analysts, in annapolis, maryland. there now the search team that found the wreckage of a migraine boat that went down off the coast of lebanon, says it's unable to bring the vessel to the surface. the drivers also haven't recovered the bodies inside the trunk and boat families of the victims say they're living. the pain center holder has a story from tripoli in northern, never, not 4 months on,
