facing the street on al jazeera part of the central, if most always on good luck, we are the ones grappling the extra mile. there are the media. there we go. we go there, and we give them a chance to tell their story. for science is the evidence is irrefutable, but american climate change denials fabric mistrusted the fact. despite soaring temperatures, raging wildfires and shrinking water reserves the world's largest economy still split alongside your logical lines. so can it ever reach consensus to avoid catastrophe? climate wars are 2 on a just 0 ah the you n's, atomic energy team arrives in the ukranian city of operation to inspect, ukraine's largest nuclear plant europe,

san jacinto planned for possible damage. ah, you're watching al jazeera life from doha with me for the back table, also coming up as the fighting rages on in ukraine. the you agrees new visa restrictions for russian tourists. scenes of desperation lounges era joins pakistan's army on a mission to deliver aids, to victims of catastrophic floods. and investigators. in the usa, there's clear evidence that classified documents were hidden at donald trump's florida. how we begin in ukraine, where investigators from the un nuclear watchdog have arrived in the city of zap arissa, which is home to europe's largest nuclear power plant. there'll be checking the safety of the facility, one stake and gain access. the plant is under russian control,

but run by ukrainian staff. both ukraine and russia have accused each other of shedding around the nuclear complex raising fears of a possible disaster. the mission mistake a few days. we are able to establish a permanent presence, continue addresses better. then it's going to be problems that these 1st segment is going to take a few days or less. you know, this is part of our ukraine currently occupied by forces properties clear for us. this is a great feeling that we are here are, are, are already legal competence, clearly established by the safeguards agreement. rehab with that ukraine al jazeera, the very symbol has more from cave while the team is led by the director of the i,

a file get off the and what he, he keeps in statements as soon as he arrive to the region. this is the area where the nuclear power plant is located, its about 50 kilometers away from where they are. he said that he had no doubt that the plan belonged to your queen that it was currently under occupation. that they were hoping to visit the plan to begin inspect the plans on thursday. and they were hoping also to keep like a stable mission controlling the situation on the ground. in the past few days, there's been intense shelling all around that area when the russians took over the plan, back in march, the established a military base there. and from there they started launching several attacks against the city the crawford in april river, so intense shelling, having ongoing all around that area. so the main objective would be to talk to the personnel. ukrainian technicians were working in durham totally monitored by russian soldiers that the safety systems are in place and,

and the level of damage that has happened there because of the fighting ongoing. you know, there's lot of expectation about this visit. ukraine is hoping that the i will be able to convince russia to the militarize the area. but russia has said in the past that they won't do this. so we're going to have to see what type of success they're able to achieve. meanwhile, european union foreign ministers of agreed to suspend a visa deal with russia, which will make it harder and more expensive for russian citizens to visit you. countries. the bronx foreign policy chief made the announcement after ministers met in prague. and tasha butler has more. until now, russians wanting to travel to the european union were given a preferential treatment for visas under an old agreement between moscow and the you. but that is going to be no longer the case. after meeting in prague, the last 2 days you foreign ministers have agreed to make it a lot harder for russians to gain visas. to travel to the you are, is going to be

a lot more complicated in terms of administration. and it is going to cost a lot more money now that you a foreign policy chief, he was at burrell said the reason for this so well. there were 2 main reasons. one, he said it's a question of security. secondly, he said that most a you, foreign ministers agree that it was simply inappropriate. the russians were coming to the european union, a lot of them for leisure, for holidays, shopping to go to the beach. when there are people dying in ukraine, or when russia's war continues, are in ukraine, it seems that all you foreign ministers were agreed on the point of suddenly making it harder for russians to travel. but there were some countries, the baltic states, for example, that wanted a full ban on russians. obtaining visas for the uber countries like germany and france were against that. they said it would be counterproductive, or they said it would fuel anti you sentiment in russia. that wasn't

a good idea. i should just say though, of course, that are all the russians that appear on the sanctions list. of course, already are prohibited from travelling in the u. this is very much for other russians, mostly tourists. and the war in ukraine has dominated talks between the foreign ministers of iran and russia. in moscow, the 2 sides have grown closer as both countries are now subjects to us sanctions. tayveon has refused to directly condemn moscow's invasion of ukraine. washington has accused iran of supplying russia with drones. acclaimed terran denies the run nuclear deal also featured in wednesdays, meeting is going to be a mission blunt m g c. we've also talked about the settlement of the iranian nuclear program and the minister thanked us for our very committed position there in terms of negotiations and getting his 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 text 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 political motivated, demands about iran's nuclear activity. secondly, man, all sides to respect a new deal after the sign. the u. s. should act realistically with their demands or removing their sanctions against their hands. mean, in other world news, pakistan's army is on high alert for more floods in the south. the indus river has been swelling for weeks, threatening another wave of flooding. the latest warning makes the work of relief and rescue because even more urgent and the people they are trying to help even more desperate. the investor, avi has more from the village of foreign bond in seemed to province the. 6 this is the faith of hunger. to describe what is happening here as desperation. trivializes the extent of the

suffering. the we spoke 1st on as she was headed into the fray. she says she had no choice. then we do go to the houses have fallen down. i don't have. we can't shade our children from the sun. now houses have been submerged. i swear to god, there is nothing. li. will our belongings have been washed away? we poor children are sick. 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, 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. but if any of you, but i think there is no reason to worry, god willing a room will get something. okay, but calmly wait your turn and everyone 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. that survivors say not to do so is to choose death. if they don't good food or just a dirt and die, what else can i do? i don't have any bread. i don't have any water. all the children starving.

bringing order to the chaos caused by floods is an unenviable task. and one that is only just begun. jane basra, the older 0 parents bought village sind pakistan while at least 30000000 people have been affected by the floods weighed. about 500000 living in relief camp so far, many of those have been displaced. say they're still waiting for help. early i spoke to god, she daniel susie, ogen, organizations migrations deputy operations director general. she says a scale of emergency is immense. what we saw today when we were viewing the flood affected areas is that they're trying to stay as close as possible to their homes. they've thought the highest land that they can find, which from what we could see were the roads. so many people are on the roads and some are actually on the roofs of their houses. the government has really stuck up

in responding to this situation. they have long experience and pakistan is highly disaster prone. and what we saw today on what the government grief, the song is that they provide the tanf, they've provided food, they've provided water, they provide the cash assistance. i'm all the basic needs that are required. the government has provided the challenges that the, the scale and the extent of this emergency is unprecedented. and that's why an international assistance is needed. this area is the, at is an agricultural rich area and all of the cotton harvest been lost. the same with sugar cane dates, the whole agricultural economy has collapse. and there's going to be the need for significant investment to restore the economy, to restore and livelihoods. and rebuild the rebuild. what has

been attracted by the floods and the world health organization has raised concern over the spread of waterborne diseases in pakistan. the by sunny government has deployed additional medical teams and is rushing to provide clean drinking water. in somalia is a different picture where is severe, drought is affecting many people. the red cross has begun giving small cash payments to assist families. in a difficulty under $50000.00 households were given $90.00 to help them buy food. the drought has lasted for 4 consecutive rainy seasons, is forced more than a 1000000 people to leave their home since january last year. the hardship is being made worse because of armed conflict and the rising cost of living. still ahead on al jazeera. aah! iraq declare 3 days of the morning as you know to hand for those killed in the

but they failed to do many hearsay. events of this past week as a reminder of how much they need souther to remain in politics was sam was a member of psoriasis along the, on the wing of southern movements. his older brother says his death only reinforces their relief and dedication to him of feather else, other who they believe is in done with politics just yet. on the other side of town, those from the other side of this conflict laid their victims to rest. those been carried here were members of the popular mobilization forces, shared our groups that are now part of the government's military. the prime minister addressed the nation following the end of the violence on tuesday evening with a warning. well, has the men who know and i want that if they want to continue to create disputes and complications and not to listen to the source of reason that i will make a moral decision. but i'm proceed to leave my post in accordance to the iraqi

a bond iran on appearing before the high gordon that james gave the chief judge of god, observing that the factory on the 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. and i'm a legal wrong contact. because every judge hodges on the wrong phone in order to do the math 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 and not

the 7 day proper on stuff. now in case i'm wrong con, able to come up with a condition that, of course, include an unconditional apology. god, what a judge 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 con, so important development for a company at a time when the country is offering a major did. and people are hoping that the political leadership will be able to your night so that they can head good people who need them more. the us justice department says it has evidence that former press and donald trump seem was hiding classified. find that it's florida home. it also says his seamless obstructing an investigation into whether he legally removes top secret documents from the white

i went in and no turns out the phone more than 100 classified documents. they released a picture of some of those documents laid out and is quite startling because you can see in red and yellow top secret clearly mark. so what are the f b i seeing about this idea of appointing a special master? they're saying, 1st of all, look, we don't need it because we've reviewed all the documents. secondly, the claim that some of these documents should be returned to donald trump is absolute nonsense because these documents don't belong to him. they actually belong to the us government. and here's the thing, they're saying that the court should consider that it's clear from the evidence that some of these documents have been moved and concealed. trying to block the u. s. government's investigation, and that is what could donald trump and his team in legal jeopardy? the govern, as the us state of mississippi has declared an emergency, the regional capital jackson, people don't have clean drinking water after the treatment plant was overwhelmed by floods. john hendrick reports the water in mississippi's largest city is

go on war to supplant their stuff that don't bowl in any instances when you know you and i don't where this happens, you don't just all of a sudden you add to your supply. they always tell me a snake, a bite to give you the burden jackson's population is largely black. a quarter live in poverty. it's one of many us city, suffering water supply problems, and until it can restore its water treatment plant and fill its aging pipes. residents will have to make do with boiled water, bottled water, and plenty of patients. john henderson, al jazeera, former soviet leader mikhail gorbachev has died at the age of 91. he drove radically comic and political changes attempting to reform communism to cope with mounting economic difficulties. and political unrest, the last leader of the soviet union. he stood down after it was disbanded in
