we're going to begin in ukraine. we're investigators from the u on nuclear watchdog have arrived in the ukranian town of zap alicia, which is home to europe's largest nuclear power plant. they're going to be checking the safety of the plan to once they're able to gain access to the facility. the plants under rushing control, but it's still being run by ukrainian staff. ukraine and russia have accused each other of shelling around the nuclear facility, raising fears of a possible radiation disaster. before leaving for his operating share, the chief of the international atomic energy agency, outlined his plans. this will be a bunch less, you know, we haven't anybody forth there to perform to assess. we don't see there to help stabilize education as much as we can. and i am really very conscious of the relevance
4:03 pm
of this moment. but we are ready the i. e ready, so we will be reporting back after after the mission. we're going to be spending a few days there until he's supposed live for us now from keith. so the i a, a team is getting closer to the nuclear plant. that's been a long time coming, but of course the fighting is still going on. well that correct b i. e, a team is in the area right now and they now have to go to the in or city. that's where the plant is located. that's an area that is under russian control. there's been lots of reports of fighting from that area. let's not forget that base, that nuclear power bus taken over by russia. back in march from there they establish a base and they have been attacking several cities across the new pro river that's controlled by ukrainian force. so they're going to be checking the safety systems are in place, the conditions of the workers there. and what type of damage has happened there,
4:04 pm
but while they make it to the plant to make those chaps checkup so it's important checkups, you know, there's a counter offensive on going in southern ukraine. you know, when the war started, russia managed to take control of some cities in that area. and president lensky, have been saying that he's going to liberate those very, i'm apparently, the counter offensive has begun. joining me now is me call that yellow glow. he's from the national institute for strategic studies, just like most cranium has been affected by this war. so how do you see this counter offensive playing out? well, since all the operational deals, a secret are difficult to command specifically what's going on. but in general, i think if the decision was adopted by the military and political leadership, i think it was calculated that the chances of success quite high. and we did quite a good job for preparing flane conditions during the shape and action started in the russian. iraq was different strikes. so i think if the decision was already adopted, so the chances of high and the definitely military on the front lines,
4:05 pm
they would do your best with those limited means attend, but they are best and the chances are quite high for our success with ability to target the supply lines and ability to basically localize russians and to, to limit the ability to move reinforcements. one of the things that the ukrainian government has been asking for our weapons, you know, much needed weapons to be able to push back. russia for says, what is it that the ukrainian army nice right now? well, since we are asian, the biggest war since $945.00, it's said the biggest original war and the rate of consumption of equipment. anomaly is a huge. yes. when we need, basically, i receive that specifically for our talk in about our number one priorities. as of course, stubin rockets artillery nomination for that, also it sir, military grade, the unmanned aerial because flo connie, since it's a command and control devices, it's, there are also means of mobility protected mobility. and it's also our defense system to cower from the russian or quantitative super or
4:06 pm
a tail for planes and helicopters. so abby, what, what's the morale on the ground? i mean you are in touch with people that have been fighting. it's been difficult for. it may be a long war, are soldiers ready to remain in the front. her soldiers understand the stakes, the stakes are high and also understands that when you get a unique opportunity to basically heal russia from this in pearl is disease and sure is the security of a future generation. so yes, it says 6 months, it's very challenging. seem to do it fighting for 6 months as they are losing air, combat friends, but, but still they understand the stakes and they are ready to fight. so basically, grands are ready to deserve lot of jobs if they have provided with proper wanted to farmer and heavy equipment. thank you very much. so i, this war is raging on mostly it has moved to where the southern end eastern part of the country where the battle these ongoing and i 18 is very fine. what's going on in south? what it's yes, nuclear power plant and, and as you just heard, you know,
4:07 pm
most, there's a war on going and, and people here are convinced that ukraine will prevail. teresa, thank you very much. indeed, that is about talking to us from keith. russia has shut down the nod stream, one pipeline with less than 2 weeks. notice, citing planned maintenance. it's the main length, delivering gas to germany, and the rest of western europe. russia has significantly reduced the gas exports and reason months don't attain reports from. busy reduced off, this is the port silva compressor turn in only a st. petersburg where gas meant for german markets is ready for delivery. and yet in these pictures, excess gas is being burned off. which is odd because for months the volume of gas sent to germany via the gnawed stream, one network has been cut. and for the next 3 days, nothing will come through it. part of planned maintenance, says gas prom. part of president vladimir putin politic king says, germany,
4:08 pm
and gets we are literally paying a price. the stoppages have been bandied about in talk shows and political speeches as a rhetorical possibility over the summer is on, but it's not rhetoric, it's a better reality for me. this is a bit of a group that which is why ministers have spent months trying to find gas from other sources fee been for any part of the german government's coping strategy depends on installations like this $1.00, a gas storage facility at looters, doff outside berlin here it's already almost 95 per cent full and 95 percent capacity is the target. the german government has set to be reached by the 1st of november. but storage of gas is only one aspect of the solution. one analyst says in the short term, every one is being urged to use as little gas as possible. reduce demand in industry and households wherever you can. and not only industrial processes, but also when and in heats and heating systems. but also when it comes to
4:09 pm
electricity, man, and that's precisely why the government at the moment is trying to encourage all consumers all sectors to reduce demand. because that's what can bring down on the consumption. in theory, full gas storage will only cover german needs for a few winter months, which is why the government has been building new liquefied natural gas terminals on its north sea coast. so that the ellen g shipments it's been buying in can help cover any shortfall in the coldest months early next year, covering german needs in the longer term involves breaking with russian fossil fuels for ever. dominant cane al jazeera looters, doff. it was being held for some of those killed during this week's violence in iraq. at least 30 people died and about 700 have been wounded in 2 days a violent protest in bagdad heavily fortified green zone. the protests were spar twin powerful. she, i'd leave them without a asada announced these leaving politics fighting ended on tuesday when solder
4:10 pm
ordered his supporters to stand and speak now to door such a body has been following developments force in bagdad. these funerals must have been a tremendous blow for the community. there for the iraqi families understand you've been to one of the memorial services. yes, i just came back from a one of those services held in southern city in baghdad. and a really, it was quite emotional as you can imagine, that the family members of the victim a 38 year old was summarized, he who was an employee in the telecommunications ministry and a member of the as sariah salon. that is the armed wing of southern movements since 2003 at this victim, according to his family, was shot by a sniper in the eye on monday. and when he was taking part in the demonstrations in the green zone, i spoke to his elder brother who said that his death will really reinvigorate his
4:11 pm
family's belief in most other else other. he will not deter them in any way. the victim, the 38 that his wife is currently expecting your 5th child. she's 3 months pregnant, the family members there. it's say that this is really an example of why they need real change in iraq. his brother said they are asking the international community to investigate the death of the 31. people who lost their lives in the 24 hour of violence that broke out here on monday. and they are really adamant debt, deep change, political change needs to take place in the country. you're talking about the political change in, of course that is key to everything that's been happening. oh, certainly over the last couple of days. talk us through what the latest is on the political front, but there is a call as you say, for some sort of difference in iraqi politics. yes, we heard from the iraqi prime minister and the stuff all caught him. you who said that if this continues this political instability,
4:12 pm
in this rivalry between the various factions continues, he cannot be able to carry out his duties as prime minister and he will be forced to leave his post. we also heard from the iraqi president bar, i'm sorry, who doesn't usually comment on the ongoing issues that are taking place and unfolding on the streets here in baghdad. but this time, his very, very a strong, in his opinion, saying that he believes really an election could possibly be way out of this. a deadlock that's been continuing here for nearly 10 months since the previous elections were held in october. but the main issue remains that there needs to be a decision to have a session in parliament to decide whether or not they can have another election, whether or not they can dissolve parliament according to the iraqi constitution. if a governing body is not able to function, it is up to the countries judiciary to dissolve that body. and that is right now where things are at the number of complaints have been sent to the federal courts
4:13 pm
in baghdad, from a number of different parties, including the souther movement, asking them to dissolve the parliament because they believe that it's not functioning. it cannot carry out its duty. the other side, that is the coordination framework, say that they need to have a session of parliament to be able to come to some kind of an understanding about what they're going to do next. a if the prime minister leaves his post, that presidents will take over in the in term and the points and you for i minister am until there are elections. so the political instability continues and it's not clear what will happen next. what is certain is that the iraqi people have just had enough torso, thank you very much. indeed. docile jabari talking to us from baghdad. tens of thousands of healthcare workers in garza are protesting against israeli controls. b, reposing the restrictions imposed on palestinian patients seeking treatment outside garza, i ambulances of lined up at the nearest hospital in the north of the strip. just

more than 1000 people have died in the u. n. has asked the international community for a $160000000.00 in emergency funding. while i'd speak to zebra sharpie, who's in la mac, i am the southern sinned province. as angel talk us through what the situation is like where you are at the moment. we've been spending the last several days here in the southern sense, province. and parts of this province are now under a high alert. a high threat level alerts of more floods that we're hearing on the ground could be here within the next 24 to 48 hours. so people here are very, very concerned. the military is carrying out aid and rescue operations. they have to navigate narrow roads on the sides of which there are deep waters, and it is making their rescue efforts this latest warning, if possible, more flooding coming is making the rescue efforts all the more urgent and the
4:16 pm
people who are receiving aid all the more desperate we visited the village of persona bog, and here's our story. the. this is the faith of hunger. to describe what is happening here as desperation. trivializes the extent of the suffering the we spoke to 1st on as she was headed into the fray. she says she had no choice. and who do go to the houses have fallen down? don't have changed. we can't shade our children from the sun. so houses have been submerged. i swear to god, there is nothing. li, all our belongings have been washed away. we poor children of 6, they are just sitting there. senior army officers leading this relief operation, tell us their orders are use a light touch, help everyone but making sure the weakest in the crowd. women, children,
4:17 pm
the sick and elderly don't get pushed to the back of the long often requires for the. the armies arrived at this village, this much needed humanitarian supplies. food mostly. and there's been a scramble at the supply truck because people here know that there is not enough for everyone, but they are still the lucky ones here across the way where the road has been completely washed away. or people cut off from other villages. and they are just hoping that someone is able to swim some supplies over to them. who is the most deserving. who should go 1st? seems to be an impossible decision. oh we. but if anybody gentlemen take, there is no reason to worry. god willing it will. and we'll get something okay, calmly wait, your turn, and every one will get help. reassurances bring peace, but only briefly. i as the trucks begin to empty, panic returns and people jump the queue. once again. plug survivors say not to
4:18 pm
do so is to choose death. if they don't get food, we'll get it done and die. what else can i do? i don't have any bread. i don't have any water. all the children are starving. bringing order to the chaos caused by floods is an unenviable task. and one that is only just begun or the w h. i was raised concern over the spread of waterborne diseases in pakistan. water from the powerful monsoon rains began to recede in many parts of the country. but now the survivors in the flood hit areas are at risk of diseases. i. kristen's government has deployed additional medical teams and is rushing to provide clean drinking water to survivors. i do show as is pakistan, country director for care international. he's joining us from islam about thank you very much indeed for being with us at what must be clearly be
4:19 pm
a very busy time for your teams and those from other aid organizations talk us through what your teams are doing. it's a very challenging time for the country. as you see that you know, more than 33000000 people are affected out of this disaster which has happened. and more and more flooding is still happening and send some bottles for that and send they're still going to be some floating for next $24.00 to $48.00, which is going to be a lobby. i think if that happens, more families, more people will be affected at this stage. our team to are in the affected area and they are looking the needs. what i do hear from them that shelter is one of the major needs of our trauma. food which is definitely required more and more people need food in these areas where they have been living. when it does ra shortly, people have lost their ready crops. people have lost their shelters,
4:20 pm
so people are living under the sky and they hardly have anything to cover them. so it's the time with which is very challenging for these affected company specially i'm more concerned for the women and children who are living over these societies are there of people have been living in the lake or probably in my house, but because of our tea and because of like an odd situation on ground flooding has been really hard for them. their shelter is laws, their livelihood is lost, their lifestyle from last. this is extremely challenging for the women and children living a little bit because they need images, actually shelter, food kitchen lights. they need like lemon inspection needs sanitation facilities, including the mr. hygiene pitts at the same time. water bond disease. and we can see that diarrhea and other water born diseases will increase in coming days and
4:21 pm
we are going to deal with another challenging situation as days of all at this stage. more and more support is require, then immediate support declared tom. all of us, this is a collective effort which we need to do and we need to support teacher. but in this difficulty, one of the significant elements of this particular situation in pakistan is simply the scale of it, isn't it? there is, there's so much that needs to be done, particularly as you were mentioning that the w h o m has is now concerned about the waterborne diseases that you had talked about earlier it, are you concerned that at some stage, organizations like yours will simply not be able to cope with his number of people that you're trying to help. i think i get this said i would say it was very challenging situation, but at the same time, a manageable situation. this came this to loss, but i think what is more important is the speed of the response which we all need
4:22 pm
to do. some ideas are still inexhaustible because of the water level, which is dead door. the water has fostered from flooding, but at the same time, some part of southern insane. and some part, village stand still have stagnant water, and dark is making b relief operation more difficult because excess towards od challenging some roadside washer. some bridges are washed of the so it isn't making for the 8 community, extremely challenging operation, each of these communities in time. and then as you see that more than like to know, 10633000000 people out there. so it's such a large population that, you know, providing support to each and every one of them is humanly not possible because of media reason like it requires a lot of international supported by a lot of like age. and it requires a lot of like these supplies, which we need to provide them. and if they are not enough, it's going to be
4:23 pm
a challenging operation. at the same time, we do feel that there is enough capacity in country the government is playing the role. been to bash lectures, including like international events are playing the role along with a lot of volunteers that were a lot. the one who have come from the community and who are providing support along with workers to support this is archer. but i think at this stage, what is really more important is that we all have to be a collective effort. and appeal was launched yesterday for $160000000.00 by the government. it, it's really requires a lot of support from international coming into to fund that to be because without their support it will be extremely difficult to really provide support to these affected coming in. i guess her as a thank you very much for joining us on august. it, as i said, is obviously a very busy time for you and your teams. thank you very much indeed. thank you. the u. s. justice department says it's got evidence that former president donald
4:24 pm
trump's team was hiding classified files at his florida home. it also says it seems obstructing an investigation into whether he illegally remove top secret documents from the white house in accord filing of tuesday. government lawyers say it was that evidence that prompted the search of trumps monologue or residence at the beginning of august. more than $320.00 classified documents have now been found there. tromp says the search was politically motivated. while the read of donald trump's residence lead to an upsurge of criticism and threats against the f b i. speaking of tuesday night and pennsylvania, president joe biden denounced any attacks and the agencies integrity sickly. to see the new attacks and the f. b, i threatened the life of law enforcement agents and their families for simply carrying out the law and doing their. 7 job blog i want to say it as clear as i can is there is no place in this country,
4:25 pm
no place for endangering the lives of law enforcement. no place. no, never berry. i'm opposed to the funny to please them all supposedly funding the f b. i okay, let's go to alan fish and washington dc. so alan, what is the filing see and how much trouble does it mean for donald trump? his team? okay, so you remember the, the f b i rated meryl? i go on the 8th of august, and you'll remember that in the last couple of weeks, donald trump has filed a motion with a court to have a special master, which is essentially an intermediary go through the papers and see or what is privileged and what isn't know if he hadn't done that, we would never get this level of detail of at the f b, i investigation sorted. agree that's already a big own goal by the trump team. what we did find out donald trump has been saying, look, if they'd ask for the information of the documents, we would have given it to them. what becomes clear from this document is that there
4:26 pm
were a number of meetings this year, a law, and the last one being at merrill, i go back in june where the f b i asked for documents, but they got a feeling that the chum team was withholding evidence, and even though they said we have looked and we give you our assurance that we have handed over every document that they weren't being truthful, not least because f b i agents wanted to look in some of the boxes and trumps legal team said no, no no, you can't do that. so that led them to the suspicion that there were still documents . and meryl i go, which is why they got the search warrant. no, on august the 8th, it turns out that the phone more than 100 documents and, and papers that were classified. and the, issued a picture of some of the documents that were recovered, laid them out. so you can see that there are papers there with top secret and highly secret, but what is also crucial if you look very carefully, you may see the letters h, c s,
4:27 pm
which means that essentially this is information that has been gathered by american spies or american intelligence assets, that is real human beings, so that could put them at risk. not only that when the f b, i was going through my logo, not only that they're fine documents in the storage room. they also phone documents in other parts of the building, including the office known as the 45 office, which is where donald trump did of his day to day business. so the idea that all the documents had been handed over and they were all in the storage room, securely locked. it turns out to be not quite true. no. the reason for this, this paper is that the f b, i are saying we don't need a special master because the saying, 1st of all, we've had a team that's gone through the documents and they have concluded that search and nothing there that is privileged or donald trump needs to, to, nor boat, or are or has a concern about. the 2nd thing is that the question of should these documents be
4:28 pm
returned to donald trump? they're saying absolutely not because they're not donald trump's documents, they belong to the us government. and they're also saying that there's evidence here that there was obstruction, that the trump, tim, and possibly even trump himself, went to some lengths to make sure that these documents were hidden and not handed over. that the trump team has till 8 pm this evening to file a response to this document. but what is clear is that donald trump suddenly his team may be in some legal jeopardy. the question the med garland has to ask is given the midterms are very close, does he take any legal action? no. and does he wait till after the election? allen? thank you very much. did alan fisher bringing us up to date from washington d. c. a super typhoon is spinning north of the philippine. see his jeff with for the storm has headed. we have a super typhoon just north of the philippine c high there. here's the details. so
4:29 pm
at it's worse so far anyway. sustained wince. 260 kilometers per hour. it's week in a bit, but this made it equivalent to a category 5 hurricane. so here's where the super typhoon is on thursday, just to the east of taiwan. it's going to meet up with a tropical depression as well. so watch as it balloons into friday, and there was out of bands, just striking, typing. so some torrential downpours there. and we'll see those winds pick up. okay, back to the here and now up and down japan's main island of honju. we're gonna have outbreaks of thunderstorms me while it's a calm weather pattern for the korean peninsula and the far northeast of china, harbin looking good with the high 20 degrees. after india we go most of the action here over the western gods. we do have some weather alerts and play also drenching rain through at the mall div spilling into sections of sri lanka on thursday after pakistan and afghanistan still, that lol in the monsoon rains here. so that will allow for those water levels to slowly come down where you say we and this why the report in the middle is plenty

a career and the communist party eventually becoming its general secretary and leader of the soviet union. but the command economy gorbachev inherited was failing, and there was shortages of food and consumer goods. which of try to fix things with glass, no stand perestroika reforms that were to revolutionize the soviet system where the mccoy should you lady that we made more enterprise, more democracy, more organisation and more discipline. then we will be able to bring perestroika up to full speed and give new impetus to developing socialism. stephanie, his leadership also led to a revolution in relations with the west face to face with you as president ronald reagan, who, which of signed a treaty, eliminating an entire class of nuclear weapons, curbing the nuclear arms race. it was the beginning of the end of the cold war. soon, the berlin wall fell and after a failed qu, by hard line is in moscow,

4:37 pm
gave russian and other people's living in at that time the soviet union, the opportunity to speak out are to, to, to talk about their society to talk about their leaders to examine. and this is, i think it's very important the history of the soviet union, the horrors that the people endured under stalin under lenin. no subject was taboo anymore. but it, it, it was a process that you could like into sort of opening of esteem thou, or something like that on a very complicated apparatus. and once that valve was opened, the whole thing became unstable and eventually just broke apart. there's been another way of striking mckelly. the capital of the field is northern to good. i legion, the number of casualties in the assault which happened near hospital isn't yet clear. the fighting between government forces and rebels to get. i was spread along
