crisis must be saw, squint a political solution as climate change progress is there some people who are in places that they're just going to have to make. there is no recognition about what we're already facing the street. oh, now j 0 frank assessments. how much support is there if it's street protests that we've seen in hotel across the rest of the country street men have been very good. that's happening into the cold confound people across the country, informed opinions, we will say more of these events. what is happening is that climate change it to making them work in depth analysis of the days global headlines drug. he is credited by some way where they were storing italy's credibility. this critics would say he couldn't play the part of a politician. what do you think went wrong inside story on al jazeera? ah, i met the mission, the u. m. 's, atomic energy team arrives in the ukrainians on of zel felicia. i made reports of potential damage to

a nuclear plant. ah, i'm about this and this is all to 0 live from doha. also coming up a iraq declares 3 days of morning was funerals are held for those killed in the latest violence. scenes of desperation, al jazeera joins the pakistani army as it works, to deliver aid to flood victims. the hell gorbachev dies, age 90. 1 more leaders reflect on the legacy of the man who helped to reshape global politics. ah, we're going to begin in ukraine for investigators from the u on nuclear watchdog have arrived in the ton of zapata asia home to europe's largest nuclear power plant . they're going to be checking the safety of the plant once they're able to gain access is to us the facilities under russian control. but it still run by ukrainian

staff. grain and russia have accused each other of shelling around the nuclear plant was infuse, of a possible disaster. had been many calls for this visit by the international atomic energy agency. the head of the agency outlined his plans before leaving for zappa. nisha is with us. you know, we have very, very important there to perform, to assess the situation there to help study lacy depletion, as much as we can. and i am really conscious the relevance of the moment. but we are ready the i e 3. so we will be reporting back to the mission. we're going to be spending

a few days there. well, meanwhile, the ears announcing that it's going to make it harder for russians to get visas to enter the blocks. and we're going to get more on that shortly with the dash tabatha in paris. first, let's go to teresa ball and the grinning capital keep. she's tracking the i. e a's visit to zachary, shut teresa. what exactly are the team going to be looking for when they arrive at the plant? while the team is already in separation, they are expected to make it to the city of an area that that's where the nuclear power plant is located. and that's the place since a russia took it back in march. that's where they've been launching several attacks against the ukranian front line. there's been exchanging accusations over who is carrying out the amount of shelling that's been going on very, very close to the plan that became a major concern, not only for ukraine, but also for the international community that has been demanding that this visit takes place. as soon as possible, so what they're going to be monitoring right at the plant is going to be the level

of manage that they have damage that has happened try. they are also how the workers are doing their ukrainians technicians that have been working and are a very close watch of russian soldiers. this could generate some tension and that that was another one of the things that are going to be checking and also that the safety systems are all in place. ukrainian officials have that the big have given a list to the morning tories to the experts that they have to check once they arrive to the plans. but, you know, there's lots of expectation about what this visit could bring about ukrainians are saying that they're hoping the area to be their militarized, that they hoping that the russian forces will be able to withdraw from that location. well, that's not certain. russia has already made it very, very clear that they won't be demilitarized in that area that they won't be leading . so there's lots of, you know, expectations and questioning about what this visit could achieve. and there's all about fighting, going around on around the nuclear plants and in the east, but ukraine's also trying to reclaim territory in the south taurus through the latest,

to not come to the friendship that's helped me in the household. well, ukraine has gone from defending territory to the offensive. there's a counter attack on several fronts on at least 3 fronts. that what the ukranian government is saying, they're trying to liberate some of the territory that was occupied by russia at the beginning of this invasion when russia 1st enter the country, they started taking the southern parts of the country. they made it to the city of harrison, and they tried to advance and they were blocked from doing so. and that's why, you know, a part of the southern part of ukraine was paired, especially a city like all the stuff, for example, that crucial for this country. so, you know, ukraine is now trying to, we take that territory, president holy, middle cilenzo. he has a been promising the population that he's going to liberate those territories. and in fact, what the latest he said is, he told the russian soldiers to run for their lives. so this offensive is ongoing, you know, they're fighting every day. we're going to have to see where that leads whether

ukraine have the manpower they have the weapons. the government has been requesting the international community. countries like leave united states, great britain, them on many others to send them more weapons to continue fighting. so we're going to have to see, you know, where this latest back to lead, but when you talk to people here on the street, everyone is certain here in ukraine. they're saying that this country will prevail . there is a thanks a lot. teresa will bring this up to date from chief. well, as we mentioned before, european union foreign ministers of agreed to suspend a visa deal with russia. it's going to make it harder on probably more expensive for russian citizens to enter the block. the use foreign policy chief, maybe announcement after meeting mr. ministers in prague or born this. let's go to . natasha bothers, been monitoring those meetings from paris. so what more details do we know about what's been going on? well, as you say, are you foreign ministers have agree to make it a lot more difficult for russians wishing to travel to the european union to obtain

a visa, what they've done is suspend this sir agreement that had been in place the gave at russians. preferential treatment for each of these as well. that's no longer going to be the case is, can be more expensive as can be a lot more administration for russians who want to travel to the you are the foreign policy chief use at burrell said this was a matter not just of security. there were security reasons for this with russians coming into the you. but he also said that a most member states agree that it seemed inappropriate. and that russians have been coming over the past weeks and months to a europe to go on holiday for leisure shopping. and going to the beach and that kind of thing when there is a war in ukraine and a people were dying. now this has been quite a controversial issue amongst a u foreign ministers because some countries, the baltic states, for example, wanted a full ban on russians entering at the e u, but other countries,

including france and germany, a said that a full band would be counter productive that it would, few putin's anti a e u, anti western and narrative may said it's much better to look at a case by case basis. but overall, take a more moderate approach or in the end we got what we had expected over the last few days when these meetings have been taking place in prague of e. u, a ministers. and that is a compromise a suspension is going to be harder for russians to enter the e u, but they're certainly not banned from doing so. you talked about or talking to us from parish latasha. thank you very much. do you know, the warning ukraine's dominated talks in moscow between the foreign ministers of iran and russia, the 2 sides of get closer as both nations and i was subject to us sanctions tech on has refused to directly condemn russians. invasion of ukraine. the u. s. is accused around supplying moscow with drones, a claim to find denies the bottom. and this is also discuss the iran nuclear deal.

if michelle mission plenum, g, s g. we've also talked about the settlement of the iranian nuclear program and administer thanked us for our very committed position there in terms of negotiations and getting this nuclear deal on the table again. and we insist that all the sanction should be completely done away with in line with the un security council decision that he should act up here on the call. carefully reviewing the draft texts for revival of the nuclear deal. we are looking into how we could get a strong and durable agreement. firstly, the i. e, a should drop is politically motivated, demands about iran's nuclear activity. and secondly, man, all sides to respect a new deal after this signed the u. s. one should act realistically with their demands, removing their sanctions against her. iraq's caretaker prime minister says he's going to resign if the political crisis and on russia continues. most of all columns address the nation after 2 days of violent protests in bagdad heavily fortified green zone. okay, it was rendered when powerful she had to political liter mcdahl. sutter ordered his

supporters to withdraw on tuesday. at least 30 people were killed and hundreds were wounded. the protests were sparked by soda's announcement that he was quoting politics. dosage of all is following the balance in bagdad. it's unclear how serious those threats are that are made by the and current iraqi prime minister mas stuff i'll call the me, who himself has been in the position since may of 2020. he was also appointed as a caretaker prime minister, but the political upheaval in this country has just continued. and he, in that speech seemed very, very frustrated and tired from the ongoing political crisis that has been dragging on and now reached a very violent days. and then over the past 48 hours here at the iraqi prime minister said that at the duality of the state and non state needs. and he also said that the arms that have been used against the iraqi people should be used to

protect them. and he said that he was willing to step aside if these are disputes between the various factions would add, don't come to an ent. he just seemed a to me as saying that he's not really able to carry out his duties with all this political in fighting that is ongoing as well as the violence that us crew been created as a result of it at what would happen if he does choose to leave office is that the president would be in charge of the country and then the president would have a 15 day period to appoint another caretaker prime minister who would take over that position until the next elections are held in this country. parkerson army helicopters have flown over areas from floods after weeks of heavy rain. rescuers have found out to some of these areas where millions of people are waiting for help . more than a 1000 people have died. the un is asked the international community, but $160000000.00 in emergency funding. i speak to the same bus, avi,

who's in laconic in the southern sin province. so the military is also spread whitening it's a effort. what's it achieve so far? well pakistan's army chief has been touring foot affected areas for the last week and his assessment is dire. he described devastation of magnitude so large that it was generational, it would take years to fix. the military is here, they are taking a trucks, navigating narrow roads that have been spared by the flood waters that are surrounded by standing water, deep standing water on both sides and the countries. the southern part of the country is under a high threat level warning for more floods that could be on the way within the next 24 to 48 hours. that is making the work of rescue crews far more urgent and the desperation of people needing the help that is coming far more acute. we visited a village with the military of koran about 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 the 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. we can't shade our children from the sun. now houses have been submerged. i swear to god, there was nothing. when our belongings had been washed away, we poor children, sick. they had jumped, sitting senior army officers, leading this relief ration tell us their orders are use a light touch and help everyone but making sure the weakest in the crowd, women, children, the sick and elderly don't get pushed to the back of the law 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. we've been trying to you, but there is no reason to worry. if god willing it will not get something. ok, call me with your turn and everyone will get hell. reassurances bring peace, but only briefly. as the trucks begin to empty, panic returns and people jump the queue. once again, the survivors say not to do so is to choose death.

if you don't get food will get the dirt and die. what else can you do? the, i don't have any bread. i don't have any water. all the children. the starving. bringing order to the chaos caused by floods is an unenviable task. and one that has only just begun. jane bas robbie, olga 0 persona bud village, send. pakistan. still had an all. does it a u. s. investigators say there's clear evidence that classified documents were hidden at the home of former president donald trump. we're going to the latest from washington, and we're going to hear from the man who held people hostage in a favorable bank. that is not joking. protesters on the streets. ah,

supreme court has begun hearing presidential candidate, viola dingus challenge to the election results. it's going to sit until september. the 4th, i think is rival william. brutal was declared the winner with just over 50 percent of the vote. 4 of the 7 electoral commissioners refused to endorse the result. what anger says the outcome is flawed and should be declared null and void. malcolm y m has mo, from by roby on the arguments the supreme court will be considering. i have identified 9 areas that 9 questions that they want to answer over the coming days of the hearing. and they include whether or not the electoral commission database and online system was hack. riley were doing and his team led to the team working for william root main rival hacked in the system and change the results. retail team denied the court wants to try and establish whether or not that's true. another area that they want to look at royal is coalition of also alleged as if there's

a discrepancy between the number of vote cost for the presidency and vote in the other election for members of parliament, senators and local government. a significant significantly larger number of vote cost for the presidential. paul could be seen as evidence of violence stuffing. 3rd area that a question or concluding question that they said they want to on. if indeed william roots, i did, in fact get more than 50 percent of the vote per the result that was announced by the chair of the electoral commission. and if the irregularities significant enough to nullify the election, in which case the court can order a re run, the constitution says that that has to take place within 60 days. the us justice department says it's got evidence that former president donald trump's to was hiding classified files. that is florida home. it also says his team was obstructing an investigation into whether he illegally removed top secret documents,

the white house, and a court filing on tuesday. the government lawyers say was that evidence that prompted the sucks of some small local residence at the beginning of august. more than $320.00 classified documents have now been found there. from says the search was politically motivated as well lives. alan fisher in washington dc. what does the filing say and how much trouble does this mean for donald trump on his team? now the reason of god so much information about the f b i 's case is because donald trump applied to the court from what is called a special master. essentially an independent set of eyes to look over the documents and decide which ones should move back to donald trump. so this 36 page document came out late last night. and what we found out is that despite donald trump saying we've always cooperated with the f b, i the only had to ask for the documents. there had been several meetings with the fbi i in donald trump's team. the last being in june and the f. b, i still went convinced they got all the documents back, even though there was

a signed letter from trump's team saying that they had done a comprehensive search and handed everything back in that meeting at merrill, i go in june agent said what's in that box and trump's team said, well, you do, you can't take a look which made them suspicious as you rightly would. and so that is why they went for the search warrant which led to the read on murder lago on the 8th of august. know what the government says says that they found more than $100.00 documents. they released a picture of some of those documents and you can see that in yellow and also and read some of those documents are marked top secret. there are also, if you look very closely, documents marked each key key key s, which means that some of these involve either american spies or human intelligence assets. and they said that the documents weren't just found in the storage room model lago, but they were also found in the president's desk,

which led them to believe that donald trump's team were guilty of obstruction. because they had concealed and moved around some of these documents. now let's go back to this idea of these independent eyes being appointed. what the f b i in the department of justice is saying is that there is no need for that to happen because it could compromise national security that a team has already gone through the documents and decided which which documents are privileged, which aunt and the idea that some of these documents should be returned to donald trump is nonsense because they are not his documents the of the property of the united states. no, dont from team have until 8 o'clock this evening to post a response. donald trump has already done that on truth social, his social media network. he is saying that the documents laid out suggest that that's how he kept these documents, which simply isn't true. it seems more that the f b, i will give an example of some of the documents that had been found and he says again that he was cooperating. but it may be difficult for him to say he was

cooperating when the phone more than 100 classified documents after his team said, we handed everything back. it's like a bank robber being cotton senior. i've handed back all the money and investigators finding an extra $1000000.00 in his account. it's a pretty loose analogy, but that means that donald trump and his team could well be in legal jeopardy. allen, thank you very much. and it allen fisher bringing this up to date from washington, d. c. focus on former prime eye selling on cons. billing code on widens davies and charges of contempt cans. also being charged under the anti terrorism acts in a separate case law height as be not the court in islam about enron on appearing before the bod. hi, gordon and james gave the chief judgment of god. observing that the factory onset that would be expected from him had not come through. there was also

observation that had been indeed an apology. renting apology from the former prime minister could have concluded today. i think that by any international standards, and i'm going to need them to contact in order to get a video to the wrong kind of in order to get the massive houses of what you've been doing wrong and never meet any closing. and you know, saying that the former prime minister will have to appear before the god, not the 7 day proper on stuff. now in case i'm wrong con, able to come up with the conditions that include an unconditional apology. but god, what a just observed was expected. iran to render an unconditional

apology, which did not happen. and if that does happen within the next 7 days, the court may decide to die. and that would be a huge relief for them. wrong cons. so important developments for coming at the time when the country are suffering a major did. and people are hoping that the political leadership will be able to your night so that they can help people who need them more. even a lebanon have protested against the draft law. they say, will make it harder to access the money in their bank accounts. authorities of strictly limited foreign currency withdrawals since 2019 economies plummeted in the past 3 years. and one of the world's worst financial crises, banks are unable to give people their savings because of a shortage of dollars and mismanagement of funds. the capital controls law as a prerequisite for lebanon to qualify for an international monetary fund bailout. awesome. all shakela same was that the protests in bay route 2 weeks ago,

it took people hostage in a bank at gunpoint to demand funds from his locked savings account. he says the system needs to change, and i then i had the we came to protest to get back the money, but the thieves in there stole from us. i call on all the revolutionaries to come to the street in large numbers. so we don't lose the money, i want to steal. every one needs to be on the streets to day. we will have to stop this draft law by force, and we will have to return all the money by force. it all has to be done by force mil farmer, severely though mahal gorbachev has died at the age of 90. 1 garbage have played a crucial role in ending the cold war. he initiated economic reforms and made it easier for people to criticize the leaders. but he was deposed and accrued that eventually led to the collapse of the u. s. s. r. victoria. again, it looks back on his life. actually can me let me cargo bunch of chains look,

use it, 20th century history. his legacy though is valued more by some than by others in the west, he is revered as a great statesman, a nobel peace prize winner, who played a decisive role in ending the cold war to many russians. he's the man who allowed the soviet empire to collapse, exposing millions to hardship and humiliation his legacy is dead. he allowed, or the peaceful collapse of the soviet union. it did not use massive, forced to keep eastern europe, ah, in the empire. and with that, he deserves credit, but it is not that this was sung came in, trying to undermine the system. he tried to reform as a young man. gorbachev studied law at moscow state university. he went on to forge a career in the communist party, eventually becoming its general secretary and leader of the soviet union. but the command economy gorbachev in it, it was failing and there was shortages of food and consumer goods. which of try to

fix things with glass, most and perestroika reforms that were to revolutionize the soviet system. where the goal 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. bethany, 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, the soviet union itself was dissolved a gorbachev. resigned sil clarissa, in this situation, which follows the establishment of the commonwealth of independent states, i hereby cease to act as the president of the soviet union. you. so uniqueness.

nope, was not present in the esl, awarded the nobel peace prize in 1990. gorbachev remained in the public eye watching democratic progress erode and relations with the west deteriorate. well, right now, the present russians r i b, m, are bullion trying with military force to rebuild the soviet union during integrated through forceful means, kind of undo the gorbachev legacy michelle gov. i talked the united nations secretary general antonio, the terrorist says the world's most, the towering global leader, russian president vladimir putin has expressed his deepest condolences hope itself with his famous crimson birthmark, with one of the most recognizable figures of 20th century politics. and one of its most influential.
