in the 1970s, do you have any regrets? no, we meet with global news makers. i'm talk about the story stuck matters on al jazeera . ah, ah, al jazeera, with instruction ah, this is al jazeera. ah,

this is in use our own al jazeera, fully back to live in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. the u. n's, atomic energy team arrives in the ukranian city as operation to inspect europe's largest nuclear plant for possible damage as the war wages on in ukraine. the european union agrees new visa restrictions for russian tourists. oh, so this our scenes of desperation al jazeera joyce pakistan's army on a mission to deliver aid to victims of catastrophic floods. and we look back on the legacy of mikhail gorbachev. the last leader of the soviet union has died aged 91 in sports as in orange above books, as boston round 3 of the us open and single poles only olympic gold medalist has been banned from competing by his own government.

thank you very much for joining as we begin in ukraine, where investigators from the un nuclear watchdog have arrived in the city as operator which is home to europe's largest nuclear power plant. they'll be checking the safety of the facility once they can gain access. the plant is under ration control, but run by ukrainian staff. both ukraine and russia have accused each other of shelling around the nuclear complex raising fears of a possible disaster. but the mission of a few days, we are able to establish a permanent residence, residence better, and then it's going to be put on that. these 1st segment is going to take a few days or less. you know, this is part of the ukraine currently located by your source. property is clear for us. this is a new korean feeling we are here are or are already

legal competence here, clearly established by the safeguards agreement. rehab with that ukraine. algiers. he had bell, oak d is invalid creature with more international atomic energy agency team arrived hearings approach before they started that inspection mission, project, nuclear plant, head of atomic energy agency. rafael grossey said that they are in a technical mission to avoid the nuclear accident. putting an end to military threats to the plant needs political will. he said the team will report this plant is working according to nuclear safety standards. they will inspect the safety of buildings, system security, and staff readiness to operate the plant during this period. i is planning to set a permanent team at blank premises rush, i didn't oppose ukrainian energy minister welcomed any recommendations by atomic

energy agency. but he said it will only be implemented after russia hands over to the plant to the ukrainian or sororities and demilitarize their yeah, this is the only way to ensure nuclear safety to the wall. the ukrainian official said. meanwhile, european union, foreign ministers have agreed to suspend a v said deal with russia, which will make it harder and more expensive for russian citizens to visit e u countries. the blocks foreign policy chief made the announcement after ministers met in prank. natasha 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 are you foreign ministers have agreed to make it a lot harder for russians to gain visas. to travel to the you are,

it's 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 years at burrell said, 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 sony, 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 thesis for the you. the countries like germany and france were against that. they said it would be counter productive, 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 ease sanctions list, of course, already are prohibited from travelling in the u. this is very much for other russians, mostly tourists. in other world news, pakistan's army is on high alert for more floods in the south of the country. in this river has been swelling for weeks threatening, another wave of flooding. the latest warning makes the work of relief and rescue crews even more urgent with the plato flood victims more desperate is embers. robbie has more from the village of fran, are bought in sinned province. oh 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 to 1st and as she was headed into the fray. she says she had no choice. and who do go now? oh, how does have fallen down?

don't have changed. we can't shade our children from the sun. now houses have been submerged. i swear to god. there is nothing. when our belongings have been washed away, we pull out children of 6. they are just sitting senior army officers leading this relief operation. tell us their orders are use a light touch, help every 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 there's no reason to worry if god willing will get something. ok, calmly wait 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 good, we'll just dirt and die. what austin do? i don't have any bread. i don't have any water. all the children was starving. bringing order to the chaos caused by floods is an unenviable task. and one that has only just begun. jane basra, the old g 0 persona about village sim pakistan. at least 30000000 people have been

affected by the floods with about 500000 living in relief camps so far. many of those who have been displaced say they're still waiting for help. early i spoke to gucci daniels was the organization for migration separate operations. director general. she says, a scale of emergency is immense. what we saw today when we were viewing the slow 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 pakistan is highly disaster prone. and what we saw today on what the government grief, the song is that they provide. the 10 space provided food, they provided water,

they provide the cash assistance, all the basic needs that are required. the government has provided the challenge is that the scale and the extent of this emergency is unprecedented. and that's why international assistance is needed. this area is the app is an agricultural rich area. 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 the livelihoods and rebuild the rebuild. what has been attracted by the floods in sudan? widespread flooding has killed at least 100 people catholic, stating that he says one of the hardest areas, 36 villages,

they're completely surrounded by water. more than 30000 people are struggling for shelter, medicine and food. some parts of the country have been funded for nearly a month. here morgan has more from j, sierra in east and saddam thousands of houses have been damaged. not just in castilla state, but inches in a state where we are right now. in fact, you can see behind me some of those damages that has been sustained on houses, where people here forcing them to leave their homes and seek shelters elsewhere on dry land. now, more than 5000 homes have been destroyed here into 0 states alone. since the thought of the rainy season, about 2 weeks ago, many people saying that they have been caught off guard. they've never seen such amount of our torrential floods coming. this of course not coming from the mile river, but coming from up lands from valleys upstream into areas that have never seen such floods before. so people here have been quite devastated,

have been forced to leave their homes, lose their properties, many of them saying that they were not able to seek shelter with families because even families, homes have been destroyed. and so they were forced to be out in the open, waiting for aid and assistance from relief organizations and from the government staying with so don a protester has been killed after being hit by a tear gas canister and run over by a security force vehicle in the capitol cartoon demonstrators were marching against last year's military code, demanding a return to full civilian rule. military sees power from a transitional, civilian governments last year since an anti military protests have been held in several cities nearly every week. there's been another air strike in may kelly, the capital of ethiopia is know then to guy region. the number of casualties from the assault which happened near hospital is not yet clear. the fighting between government forces and rebels. shante grime has now spread along the border with saddam. there's plenty more head on this sanchez here and use our including do not

drink the water. i want to be clear. please do not drink the water. a water crisis in mississippi people in the u. s. t, a capital are warned not to use public supplies. o iraq declare 3 days of morning su, known to help for those killed in the latest fighting between rival political groups and in school chassis lose for the 2nd time left for me this season. ah, in the u. s. the governor of mississippi has declared a state of emergency in the regional capital. jackson. people don't have clean drinking water after the treatment plant was overwhelmed by the fridays by france. john hendern reports, the water in mississippi's largest city is undrinkable. do not drink the water,

ought to be clear. please do not drink the water. a 150000 residence of jackson, the state capitol cannot drink the water, cannot reliably shower flush their toilets or battle their cities fires. governor tate reeves on tuesday declared a state of emergency one with no end in sight. i can't give you a timeframe as to when we will be pushing out of safe drinking water. days of torrential rains have swollen. the pearl river mixing sewage and drinking water and overwhelming the city's main water treatment plant, causing it to fail with the city unable to afford the repairs. the state is offering emergency funding. this gets into quite possibly the billions of dollars. and so that is far beyond the city of jackson's reach to be able to accomplish that . on our long time, jackson resident bernard smith saw it coming and stocked up. i'll will try to stop go on order supplies because there's stuff that don't bolt 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. the bird jackson's population is largely black of quarter live in poverty. it's one of many u. s. city, suffering water supply problems, and until it can restore its water treatment plant and fillets, aging pipes. residents will have to make do with boiled water, bottled water, and plenty of patients. john henderson, al jazeera live to our white house correspondent, kimberly hallett can be the biden ministration is put, fixing infrastructure as one of its key priorities. what does the situation tell us in mrs. be tennis spot ha haunt that's going to be well tells us that there's a still a lot of work to be done in the united states. you might remember the american

rescue plant was talked about so much share early on the, by the administration. it was the legislative agenda really item for this administration has passed in march of 2021. and it was designed to alleviate some of the suffering that we're seeing down in jackson, mississippi right now. what is really happening in jackson, mississippi, as an example of some of the racial and economic disparities that exists all over the united states. oh, what you've got is the situation where there is a higher than average poverty rate in jackson, mississippi, about a quarter of the population at the national average is really but 11 per cent. and so there's no tax base to fix the crumbling infrastructure. so that's where this federal american rescue plan comes in, but the problem is it takes a while to fix decades of broken infrastructure. so what the president has done just in the last few hours is declared state of emergency for the state of mississippi. what this is going to do is put some millions of dollars into helping

the state in the short term, but of course it doesn't address the long term. that's what the american rescue plans going to do. in fact was, should point out. we've got a word from the white house that the president did call the mayor of jackson in just the last few hours, once again, pledging his support. saying that the white house and the federal government are committed to making sure that residents are going to get the clean drinking water they need right now. they don't have it. they haven't had it for about 3 days. they can't even brush their teeth. so they're being mobilized right now in terms of state resources to get them what they need in the next few hours. but again, this is something it's going to be addressed only the short term, but it's going to need a long term fix. kimberly, thank you for that. kimberly hawkins is our white house correspondent and western leaders are remembering mikhail gorbachev. the last head of the soviet union as its hiring statesman, who helped and the cold war. but his legacy has received a call response for some in russia,

from some in russia. he died at the age of 91 in moscow hospital after 2 years of serious illness and resilience reports. practically, as they are 54 years old mikhail gorbachev became the youngest leave, rue, the soviet union. and he was to be the last few would doubt that he changed the course of 20th century history. although he is revered and respected, more in the west than in modern russia, one of his biggest achievements was signing a disarmament treaty with you as president ronald reagan that took out a whole class of nuclear weapons. it earned him a nobel peace prize. joe biden cited this achievement in his tribute describing gorbachev as a man of remarkable vision. he said the result was a safer world and greater freedom from millions of people. vladimir putin said gorbachev had a huge impact on the course of world history. he deeply understood reforms were

necessary and strove to offer solutions. antonio guitar less the un secretary general said the world has lost a towering global leader. committed multi naturalists and tireless advocate for peace. the commission president ursula van de lion said gorbachev played a crucial role to end the cold war and bring down the iron curtain. it opened the way for a free europe. many rushing to see him as the man who stood by, as the soviet union disintegrated. his legacy is dead. he allowed, or the peaceful collapse of the soviet union. it did not use massive force 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. gorbachev, used perestroika or restructuring to reform, a stagnant economy that had seen people shorter food and consumer goods. and he

used glass moles, openness and freedom of speech that led to parts of the eastern block wising up against communism. it was the beginning of the end of the cold war, one state after the other broke away anglo merkel, former german chancellor spoke in her tribute of the fear in east germany with expectation the tanks would roll in, but quite the contrary, wasn't long before the berlin wall came down yet now 30 years on with rushes. invasion of ukraine comes the danger of further east west conflict on a horse london devil to president putin. russia, and it's president digging new trenches in europe and have started a horrible war and ukraine. it's now we think and mikhail gorbachev and realized what he did for our country and all of your vision. gorbachev held as a man of peace has died. it's only when his country is every engaged in war. and ru

simmons al jazeera. while in russia and countries of the former soviet union, there's been mixed reaction about me. i got a chance legacy. like show rod, you'll go by jove rubbed of money and offended us. i love 50000 roubles, all my fortunes, the dogs god forgive me. and what can i say about him? nothing good. they robbed and lived for their own pleasure. your daughter's, you're going to share those. well, he decided that crimea is russian territory used to demolish the soviet union, but i think you actually want to rebuild it. so it's disillusion is not his achievement. he did for me. he has some kind of a literate politician who let such a great country fall apart and anything good he may have done as crossed out by that. so for me he is just a traitor. is deal with only a believe he is part of the history which coincided without coming of age induced

high expectations but faded out pretty fast. i didn't know if this was because of a personal reason, internal or external, but he outlined a lot of prospects which wind fulfilled. well, let's now speak to william tubman whose author of the biography gorbachev his life and times, and a pretty surprised winner for his biography. of another soviet liter, it's a could share, he joins is from am, has massachusetts in the us. thank you so much for the problem for being with us on our 20. gorbachev has been described as one of the world irreplaceable and indispensable leaders in the west. but as you heard there in our previous report, in russia, opinions are divided. what did he represent for you? what are your reflections on your interactions and workings with gorbachev? you have to forgive me, my little dog is barking in the background, but i think gorbachev had 2 sides to him. he

was a great man with a great dream, with noble aims to, to democratize the soviet union which had never known democracy to end the cold war. to abolish nuclear. all of these things were very important on the other hand, or he failed in the, in because the country he was trying to reform broke apart and his own reforms contributed to its downfall. so i think anybody who is to do justice to history has to recognize both his tremendous virtues and his shortcomings. you soul failed in the end when things began to, to unravel in the soviet union. what was the atmosphere like then? what was he like at the time? well, he rode high until the 2nd half of 1990. he was the most popular politician in the soviet union. and then began to,

especially to encounter people who thought he was talking too much doing to little ruining the country. ah, it, i think it shook him and it ended up making him erratic in some of his decisions. he was indecisive, after having been very decisive as for his legacy. mr. thomas, i mean much of it, people would say, has been destroyed. the arms race is back on today. we see what's happening in ukraine, east and west, that at confrontation. do you think you met him over a period of the number of years over 14 years? i believe. do you think that his overall project has been a failure? do i think we're whether his overall projects? yeah. yeah. your legacy. no, i think his legacy is a you know, i think it depends on how history itself turns out. if russia finally finds its way

to democracy, which gorbachev said laden life might take decades or even the whole 20th century. then i think people will look back even in russia, them so itself, and see him as the founder, as the creator, as the one who began the process. if russia remains the horror, but it has become verging on a totalitarian system, going to war with ukraine, then i think the impression will remain that gorbachev failed entirely. and that what he was trying to accomplish was not only unrealistic, but probably doomed doomed from the big thing that interestingly, that the kremlin put out a statement saying, present, quoting, as expressed his condolences. ah, we know that putin has called the collapse of the soviet union, the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century. do you know what,

what the 2 men thought of each other? and what was, what was gorbachev like in the last few years towards the end of his life? what did he make? oh, of the tensions between russia and the west? faith i think said pruden is probably trying to be as nice as couldn't possibly can be, which is not very nice at all by praising gorbachev. after all the poor man is dead . oh. but i, but i think odin's basic position was and his to blame. gorbachev for the greatest geo political catastrophe of the 20th century, as he sees a gorbachev when potent came in at 1st gave him the benefit of the doubt. if you look back at putin's early speeches, you can see that putin spoke well of democracy and rejected totalitarianism. and gorbachev gave them a chance, a spook, and turned more and more authoritarian. gorbachev became more and more critical.

but even then, he held his fire, and i think the reason was he wanted to remain, ah, in good enough graces with putin, that putin might conceivably even ask him at some points for advice. i don't, frankly, think that ever happened. well, and so what was the light or in the last little wharf? gorbachev? well, gorbachev has been ill for we're long time. ah, i last saw him in 2018 when my biography of him came out in russian. and he held a reception at his foundation. ah, he came in using a wheelchair or a walker to avoid using a wheelchair. he came from a hospital. he was clearly had slowed down. his face was bloated, presumably, from medications he was taking. bob, he had slowed down, but he was,

his mind was still sharp. and there was a, there was a documentary film bade towards the end by a couple of russians, a director and a writer. and in that they interview him at great length about his whole career. and you can see him in this film. you can see him agonizing. you can see him sort of scrutinizing his own record and trying to come to terms with both his virtues, but also his failures. he was a wise man and i think he was wise enough to see that his record was mixed in the end uncle. so much for sharing your experience with a thank you for talking to us. william tubman, author of the biography gorbachev his life in time. thank you for joining us on how to my pleasure. thank you. and still ahead on this news, our legal battles of pakistan's, former prime minister continue emron, can faces contempt of court charges. and later in sports, no show no snow,

no problem, a foot race on one of your smart finance ski jumping bags. ah, it sets have of the day for your weather outside across the middle east and africa, great to see you and no real change across the weather. in the middle east. we've got some showers, move in up the he jazz mountain. some of that activity may spill into mecca, so the chance of it shower or thunderstorm, they're right south can. it's fun and pakistan. it remains dry. maybe the od shower around as long, but up against the foothills of the himalayas. first, let's talk precipitation. around turkey and the levant, still some showers for is stumble. got his hock about that he'd so let's take the precipitation off, put the colors on dark, the red, the higher the temperature amount still in the upper thirty's. let's remember,

we're into september now. so you should be about $31.00, but there are some signs that the heat is starting to break toward the tail end of the weekend. you know, we have seen some flooding across northern areas of the democratic republic of congo. but look at these solid bands of rain around western in central areas certainly could see some flooding there. as we dipped toward the south, the big drop in those temperatures for cape town, the wind still a factor across the northern cape province. and meanwhile, for a kazoo, luna, tall durbin got a high 20 degrees and still a big cool him up put so after those wind shift from northerly is to cooler southern piece. see you later. ah ah

ah. safe going home and then international anti corruption excellence award? boat now for your hero, lou. ah,

ah, they're watching the news are on al jazeera with me fully back to bow a reminder of our tom stories. investigators from the united nations nuclear watchdog are in the ukranian city of reach out to inspect europe's largest nuclear power plant. ukraine and russia have accused each other of shelling around the nuclear facility, raising fears of a possible radiation disaster, european union foreign ministers of a great to suspend a vsa deal with russia. the decision will make it harder and more expensive for russian citizens to visit each countries. and in pakistan, army helicopters are flown over areas cut off by floods. after weeks of heavy rain, rescuers have spread out to some of these areas where millions of people are waiting for help. more than 1100 people have died. now the news, a palestinian detainees set to end is nearly 6 month long hunger strike halley hour

a while day has been protesting, being held without charge or trial under what israel calls administrative detention . his family says he has received a written agreement that he will be released on october. the 2nd, his doctors had warranty was at risk of dying and already suffering from neuro neurological damage. now the final 2 contenders in the race to become britton's. next, prime minister are taking part in a final campaign event form a transfer of the exchequer wishes to knock and foreign secretary list trust. so expected to face questions over the cost of living crisis. it's go lived nadine barbara in london for so one of the main difference is nadeem that have emerged during that the hustings whether mainly economic that's what the 2 candidates are focusing on. right now lives. trust. the foreign secretary is speaking 1st, her arrival where she soon of course, the former chancellor knows he's accepted that he's the underdog,

but insist that he can turn things around. opinion pose within the conservative membership of between 80200000, suggest otherwise. but anyway, they're both under pressure to say more about what they would do to help the british public deal with the cost of living crises and specifically energy prices going up by 80 percent. rather, the cap on energy price is going up by 80 percent. the leaders of the tory party in scotland and in wales urge them both to come up with some detail. now let's trust in the last half an hour. she's been compared by one of her supporters. former tory leader in duncan smith to margaret thatcher, saying that liz truss has a steal back bone. and in the last few minutes, she's been outlining how she sees the future of britain in terms of for example, fighting what she calls militant unions stopping public services from running that . so fracture that sheree and if you like can reference. she's also talked about

supporting the police and handing power to more local levels. richie soon, i own the economy does differ on one major thing. he says he doesn't want to privatize. busy cutting taxes, he thinks that will just fuel inflation, which is already a huge problem here for households in great britain. this trust says that's the way to get money back into people's pocket so they can actually pay their bills and deal with those rising price. it's that's the main bone of contention. and so how is the public nadine viewed this selection process? well, i think it depends on whether or not your to remember 1st of all, but secondly, i think most, most people wanted to, to hurry up. but there's a lot of burden expressions of, of, of discontent from even from conservative voters asking why had to be so long. this is the 12 how state there also been televised debates between trust and snack and

all the while people worrying about paying their energy bills because this new announcement happened just a few days ago. we will get a new name announced of who's going to be the prime minister next monday on tuesday for his johnson and his successor will go to bow morrow in scotland for separate audiences with the queen. and then the new prime minister will make their 1st speech out. so i 10 downing street the 1st as prime minister, but people are asking where is the detail they have been there have been pleased for both candidates to, to say to hayden, to what kind of package will be in place before they are actually in office to lay people's fears. boris johnson has been in the last few days, assuring people that there will be a new package greater measures to directly help the most disadvantage here in britain to deal with the cost of living crisis. i think every day really counts now . and even thank you for that. and i did barbara live in london dance and the war

in ukraine has dominated talks between the foreign ministers of iran and russia. in moscow, the 2 sides have gone closer as both countries are now, subjects to us sanctions. iran has refused to directly condemn moscow's invasion of ukraine. washington has accused the run of supplying russia with jones, a claim to iran denies the iran nuclear deal, also featured in wednesday's meeting because of the emission bloom gc. we've also talked about the settlement of the iranian nuclear program and administer thanked us for a very committed position there in terms of negotiations and getting these nuclear di on the table again. and we insist that all the sanction should be completely done away with us in line with the un security council decision. or you should app tap here on the call. you 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 as politically motivated demands about iran's nuclear activity in the

secondly man, all sizing 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 that russia has shut down the north stream one pipeline with less than 2 weeks. notice, citing planned maintenance. it is the main links delivering gas to germany and the rest of western europe. russia significantly reduce the gas exports in recent months. domini cain reports from rudest off. this is the port over compressor turn and 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 nord stream, one network has been cut. and for the next 3 days, nothing will come through it. part of planned maintenance, says gas problem. part of president vladimir putin politic king says,

germany on 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 little brooklyn to that, which is why ministers have spent months trying to find gas from other sources fee band 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, and heats and heating systems. but also when it comes to electricity, man,

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 its 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 doth funerals have been held for several people killed during this week's violin. sidney rock, the unrest response when powerful she i lead him of tut. asada announced he would be leaving politics. dosier barry has more from bank that i this is the cost,
