the un mission to inspect ukraine's zapata g appliance is delayed both moscow and keith, blame each other for attacking the route to the site. but where you pros and cons and having come so far, we are not stopping for people are killed and fighting between rival shi factions in iraq's southern city. passed rough. the un says the china may have committed crimes against humanity against wiggers, of other mostly bosom groups. in st. jang provoking a furious response from beijing. the wife of valencia's former prime minister, nat geo browser, is found guilty of corruption. and in squint serina williams stands the world number 2 and to reach the 3rd round of the u. s. so been the $23.00 time ground sam champion is hunter and pending retirement on hold. shabbots yourself. another singles match you. ah,

it is just after 10 hours gmc, we begin this d as our, with up to developing use out of ukraine, where a team of you and experts is making a perilous journey to assess the safety of europe's largest nuclear power plant. ah, both ukraine and russia blaming each other for the attacks near the russian occupied zap regime nuclear plant in southern ukraine. that's led to hours of delay to the you as much anticipated mission to the facility has been heavy shelling in the area and along their pre arranged routes, ukraine's nuclear agencies, as one of the 6 reactors has been shut down because of russian water attacks. i am going to consider the possibility of establishing a continued presence of the i. e, a at the plant which we believe it's indispensable to stabilize the situation and

to get regular, reliable, impartial, neutral updates or what the situation is there. so we shall slack we are moving now . thank you for your interest is very important that the world know what's happening here. lived out to keep al jazeera theresa bo is there. theresa there still some doubt about what access this team will actually get if they get to the plot. what's the latest on their trip? well, since very early this a thursday morning, there's been lots of shelling around the nuclear power plant to use b. i, a team was located in around the separated your region and they had to cross the front line. where is the check point by a ukrainian forces and then move forward towards the rush and checkpoints. and there's been some delays because of the ongoing shelling and fighting that's happening all around the area. ukrainians are saying that russian forces have been shelling the city that

a kindergarten was had health facility that at least 3 civilians were killed while russian forces are saying that there was an attempt from ukrainian forces to attack the city and carry out some type of an operation this has not been confirmed, however, and what ukraine is saying is that this are excuses by rational forties in a way to intimidate and to control what's happening during this visit to the i. e. a plant is not clear yet what type of access they're going to have. certainly we just heard at raphael, we'll see who's leading their steam, say that they're going to continue. they're going to be there. they're going to try to monitor what's going on in the ground. what type of damage has happened, the conditions in which workers are currently doing their job, bribery, under surveillance of russian forces. there's been some accusations of torture, of people have gone missing among other things. and that's a major concern too, and also of course, that the safety systems are in place because of all this shelling we're hearing

that one out of the fix reactors are only working right now. get that the operational power unit. number 5, i had to be shut down and that the safety systems were activated once again because of the ongoing shelling around the area. so certainly, you know, the visit by b, i. e, is crucial at this point. it's a 3rd party that is going there to try to, you know, evaluate what the situation is on the ground. how close to we know is this shelling to the nuclear plant where the risks surrounding it. well, it's important to explain what's been going on here. you know, since russia took over the plan, they took over the city where the plant is located. they, they stablished a military base from there. and from there they have been launching attacks still with the ukrainian front line. and the ukrainian forces have been doing the same, so it's not clear what type of damage has happened. what we have seen, however, is that many of the rockettes, many of the shows have been falling very,

very close to where the. a nuclear power plant is located, in fact, just a few days ago, some shots fell very, very close to where the nuclear fuel fuel is located and where the radioactive waste is located. and of course this race has lots of concerns. in fact, we know that authorities around the area we're already distributing or you dean pills to the population. iodine is supposed to prevent for thyroid gland from absorbing radiation. in case there is a leak. so certainly there's a big concern about what's going to happen there today. that level of damage, and that's why it is so important for the i. e. a team to make it there. it's not clear yet when they're going to arrive, it is expected to happen to they, at least that's what the director has been saying that they won't be stopped in spite of the violence on the shelling that has been ongoing. their out 0 tourist bo reporting live that from cheese. medi sexton did to teresa will rushes foreign minister insist that moscow is upholding its end of security guarantees for the you

to the you and nuclear inspectors. we deal in sure we're doing everything to ensure that the plant is safe and for the i a mission there to carry out all of his plans . they say that they are not in a position to say who is in the wrong. of course, they would be shown all those traces left as a result of ukrainian bombardments, ukrainian sharing. we insisted that the mission must include experts in ballistic, right? so i hope we are going to find out, or rather we know everything, but i hope that the international community will get this opportunity to that's bringing tatic ro, who's a nuclear arms control specialist who fully worked for the i a he jones just now live from vienna, good to have you with us. what do you make of what you heard there from russia's foreign minister, just how dangerous situation is this right now? well, from all the news reports, it seems that the team led by director general grossi is at a checkpoint about 20 kilometers away from the apparition nuclear power plant. and

one here shows that exploding in the, in the background. so i think this is a very dangerous mission and full credit to the team to try to get to operate under this more time condition. and what do you make of the fact that we're hearing that one of the nuclear reactors at the site has been shut down because of the sheli? well actually of the fix reactive to have what were already in shut down status and only 2 have been operating at any one time over the past several months. so of the, to react as well as your correspondent reported was shut down probably because of last electric power. so each reactor unit has the backup generators that like that generator's, as well as to back up. so the nuclear power plant does have a backup power supply, but however, we still need the nuclear power plants derived on the regular transmission power backups, diesel generator. so once this team of un inspectors gets to the plant,

what will they be doing? well, it seems that the team has 3 sets of experts. one group will be assess the nuclear safety systems, the safety systems of the safety of the fuel, the emergency shut down there might get sick or cooling and the power supply. another team will assess the security situation, the physical security situation, the damages, and so on. and the 3rd team will be looking at the nuclear materials, doing nuclear material accountancy and servicing the i. e. s. cameras and seals and the nuclear fuel ponds. and the reactor area, i either want to get into the realms of speculation or, or scam mongering. but i'm just interested to know that if the shilling going on around the nuclear plot, what, what happens if, if it takes a direct hit? well, it depends on the type of show that the power plant containment structure has

a pick the liner by a great cover. but no nuclear power plant is designed to survive a war situation or hits from artillery shells. so any firing of any type in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant is very irresponsible and extremely dangerous. once the team leaves the side, having completed the inspection, if they get to do that, then what was under normal circumstances, the director general would return to vienna and issue a report to the board of governors. he probably will, gave a press briefing on arrival at vienna airport. the board of governors to shed used to meet the week after next. maybe they have an emergency meeting depending on the report and the security and 50 situation at that. and then based on that, whatever are the needs that, that you will need to be met in terms of providing extra equipment or a fish,

enough place to now pleading with both sides to stop any firing and activities such as that good talk to so many thanks indeed, so being with a study grove in vienna in iraq at least 4 people have been killed in fighting between rival she eyed factions. the southern city of password remains on edge after violence began that on wednesday the tension is high. after the leader, mac taught sata said that he was withdrawing from politics, his supporters at iran backed forces engaged in heavy fighting in bagdad earlier in the week. let's go live now to the fact that i was serious dorset jabari is following developments. what's the latest you're hearing from bathroom dos? well, according to officials, there are 4 people have died so far as the result of those clashes that began over

night in the northern part of basra. at what we understand is at the armed wing of federal southern movement that is known as sariah salon has lost 2 of its members there. and then on the other side of this conflict that 2 members of a side by law, the house that belongs to christ, casale dead, have also lost 2 of their fighters. there. these 2 men have been in a war of wards, online on twitter, a official affiliated with most other all souther has tweeted at warning to christ casale, at saying that he needs to reign in his what he calls a disrespectful militias and mad dog casale himself. that who is the secretary general of this group? it says she had group that is backed by iran, has also taken to twitter, urging his followers and not to be upset by any insults hurled at him and not to react. he's also issued an order to close all their offices across the country.

we've spoken to some of those members in back that as well. they're in the process of at closing up all their offices belonging to aside a hell of huck. he also tweeted a reference to mac federal others father saying nothing is important but faith and this is certainly going to a warrant, a reaction from at federal souther himself in the coming hours likely. and he said that he doesn't want this to be a spur spread any further. he's trying to de escalate the situation that is unfolding and basra. what else are we expecting today? we understand that the federal courts here in the green zone have started a session of just about 30 minutes ago. they're trying to figure out what to do about the complaints they have received from mainly a m p. 's or former employees that were part of the parliament belonging to the group of backs by more federal southern who are urging them to i intervene and,

and dissolved the parliament legally under the constitution. if a governing body is not functioning, it is up to the judiciary to step in, and deb basically trying to resolve the situation. that is what those people are now hoping this court will do. it's not clear if the judges in this court will make a decision today at they could postpone yet again they have been doing so over the past few days. given the security situation in the country and in the capital, it is likely that they will try to push that back in the fear that any kind of a decision or verdict they come down with will likely have a response on the streets for now, the court is still in session, we're waiting to find out what will happen next. al zeros, tulsa dewberry reporting live there from baghdad dawson movie. thanks. dude. israel supreme court has rejected an appeal by an israeli man who was convicted of killing a palestinian family in 2015 judges. ruled good, i'm at,

to breaking news from malaysia now, a course, a sentence, the wife of the former prime minister nadia bra, zak. the 10 years in prison. following a corruption trial, bozeman saw was convicted of 3 counts of bribery. she was charged with soliciting and receiving bribes to help a company when a contract to supply schools with solar power, a husband not jeep roger, roger began a 12 year prison term last week. after being convicted on of corruption involving the belief in state fund one m d b out 0, florence louis is watching developments from kwan alone pup. what's the background florence? what's been happening today of the judge said that he had found that the prosecution had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt. and he found her guilty of the listing bribe of $42000000.00, and also of receiving a bribe of one and a half $1000000.00 to help a company when a project to build solar panels for school. the judge also said that he found that

her defense amounted to nothing more than a bad denial brought in a month who had argued that she had been framed by a former 8 as well as several other officials. now she was initially jointly charged with a former aid, but he ended up testifying for the prosecution. now, she has been given a 10 year prison sentence that for the maximum centers, the prosecution had been asking, had asked for a 20 prison term. but she has also been handed down or been ordered to pay a fine of $216000000.00. and that is the maximum amount that is 5 times the amount of the bribe you to list it as well as the bribes that she was paid. now, she does, however, remain out on bail, and she doesn't have to pay the fine immediately because the judge is also granted a stay of the execution of the sentence. so she is, she does remain out of bail, and she does have 2 more avenues of 2 more record to, to more appellate courts ahead of her. so it could be a lengthy process before she,

before the appeals are disposed of. what's the public making of all of this? well, last man saw when she was 1st lady of malaysia, she was already known for lavish lifestyle and she was very heavily criticized for it. she's known for expensive taste and m designer handbags and expensive jewelry, but it was really only after her husband was defeated in the 2018 general election . that the true extent of her taste for luxury was really made known. it was then that the police and the anti graft body investigated the couple. and i think malaysians and people over the wall really watched with much surprise when police ended up seizing hundreds of boxes of expensive jewelry of high end watchers of cash in various different currencies. from residence as linked to the houses. and it was really the corruption allegations surrounding the couple that really led to so much public anger that the party that he belongs to unknown, was voted out in

a very historic defeat for the 1st time in its history. in the not 2018 general election. so i think there is a feeling amongst the majority of malaysians amongst a lot of people. that justice has been done on this day. out there as flores, louis lives in call and put many thanks. florence pakistan's army is on high alert for more flooding in the south of the country. every province in the region has been devastated with sin, the worst affected record monsoon reigns have led to the depths of around 1200 people. lily a 1000000 homes have been damaged or destroyed since june. the us launched a $160000000.00 appeal for merge emergency funding. let's go live out to sim province in pakistan. officers. zane bas ravi is the same. what's happening where you are well, we've been talking for days about flood waters coming from the north in other areas

. and coming down towards saying that we, we found where those waters have been stopped. people in this town of marian w district have been using sand and dirt, dirt at this point of time in the floods taking on a premium role and trying to hold back the flood waters. people are trucking in san filling up sandbags and warning people to stay away from these mud walls that have been built around the town to try to keep the water out of the town out from keep it from pouring into the town. no, where i'm standing at street level is about 5 or 6 feet below the water line. let me show you where that is. you see the mud wall there behind me. and if you come up here, this is where the water level is and it goes on for a great distance. you can see everything is submerged. there are bits of road, there are a little high enough for people to be able to walk, to get to where they need to go into the distance, our residential areas, our villages,

our shops are people's homes and businesses. and there are rescue operations happening here. there are police and emergency vehicles or military vehicles in boats, and what they are doing is trying to shout out where they can. they're taking boats into those areas to try to reach people that need help. just here, police are trying to call out to anyone in these buildings to see if anybody needs to be evacuated. this is still a very, very active scene. and this water, it is unknown how long it will be standing here. but what people are hoping is that these, the sandbags, these dirt embankments, these make shift dams that have been built by the people that live here. the hope is that this will be enough to keep the water at bay until it dries up until it's pumped out. and people are being warned to stay away because the threat of more water coming, the threat of an eminent breach and this water flowing through into the town and further on is still very real out of here is zane bus driver reporting live from focused on sin province, many thanks,

same after months of delay and attempts by beijing to unblock it, the un human rights office is released to report that strongly criticizes china's treatment of weakest and mostly, and other mostly muslim minorities. it says that there's evidence that alleged atrocities and singers may constitute crimes against humanity. china says the un human rights office is a fog, and an accomplice of the us aren't as here as victoria gate be reports. yes, yes. michelle bar chalets long awaited report is a damning indictment of china's treatment of the week population. it found that we goes and other mostly muslim groups held in detention camps have been subjected to torture, including forced medical treatment and sexual and gender based violence. bachelor report with commission more than 3 years ago was due to be published last year. it was finally released 30 minutes before her term as un human rights chief ended.

china has condemned the report. it says its policies in shing jang fight, what it calls terrorism. and provide weak as with better economic opportunities each other to their full lead up. he will balk off the so called assessment is orchestrated and produced by the us and some western forces and is completely illegal and void. it is a patchwork of disinformation that serves as a political tool for the u. s. and other western countries to use zing jang to contain china. this assessment based on anti china forces violates the mandates of the o. c. h. r. in the past bachelor's face, criticism for not being forthright about the persecution of the week of community. her visit to china re may, was widely condemned as a whitewash with the u. s. state department, calling it a mistake human rights group. say her report is better late than never. this is a blueprint really for a member states,

especially those who sit on the human rights council to adopt a resolution that creates an independent and international mechanism so that you can start investigating these crimes. and you can start identifying the perpetrators and prosecuting those perpetrators. hello. this is the latest of many reports, detaining human rights abuses against weakness. but this one carries the weight of the un and those campaigning for justice. hope it'll mark a turning point, victoria gate and be al jazeera patrick focus more on the chinese government's reaction from bridging. well, the theorist, the sponsor, come out of the foreign ministry and beijing today gives you a little bit of an idea all the pressure, the office for the high commission of human rights was under not to publish this report spokesperson one when been said the quote. so called assessment was illegal null and void and said it violates the principles of objectivity. and if you read between the lines,

it did sound very much as though this criticism was being directed specifically at michelle bachelor and accused her office of being an enforcer and accomplice of the u. s. but this angry reaction also gives you a bit of an idea of just how damaging beijing finds all of this. you know, a lot of the findings in this reports aren't exactly new, but this report carries the weights all the un, which does mean that countries and china and various international bodies are going to be under pressure to act accordingly. and you know, this response from china will be seen by many as an attempt to create an alternative narrative and to undermine the united nations human rights efforts. token isa is the president of the world ego a week, a congress. he joins us now live from prague. a could have you with us, your reaction to this report, and what do you make of, of china's response to it? well, i'm not surprised of the chinese government the response to be got. china's gormet

had been trying to blog the saw about to issue. so that's why this report a delayed or the ammonia actually, as we know this is robert finalized last year september. so because of the chinese fresh air is the anti commissioner still has it, and i continue and the in just the publish it the dis morning. yeah. so actually did this, this is the throughput truth of the chinese atrocity or has once again been documented. and so that's my chinese government, the edge trying to hide in the reality on the chair trying to it is a crime to the internationally saw her. so that's my gun, not surprisingly but color. this are but is very import them. it bear pay this survey to the meaningful action by the unique nation under it is member state. so

far so many countries because of the china's persia because of the chinese spreads the fake nails. in some cases it did than that the exit that used at this excuse of finance, but nor is there is not any my excuse continued silence. or do you think this report will force any sort of change in behavior by china towards the weakest? well, a business or a board actually, and that because chinese government, the never a lot independent investigation and to the region. i never, i and a lot who in a meaningful access and the in on for the acts is, are told to do. he was a constant which in can because no is so many dis guess was happening and also thought this re medium people suffer and concent bridging can well and a woman and the sexual abuse in children to separate them from the family. all that

happened on 21st century this time, but china is a trying to hide them all the to rally did not. so i is, is there a academic year or on the, you're an expert in dealer and the, and the really truly investigate but color some comp, survivor testimony and some expert testimony, answer victor command. and this all shows later today the chinese government atrocity against the wigan in genocide. so no, is this just report not occur? and they're saying that genocide, they're taking but it was, we were, we were just saying a crime against humanity. so a, this up on is not very satisfied from for what side, because really day is really, really terrible and design and the explain observe what color are they say. this is the important, it is the some previous to the, to the day or the in the open and he finest a crime. one final question, sir,

we got the chinese communist party congress in october, which has widely expected to endorse and cement president her. she's a rule you don't think that this report is going to force any kind of course correction by china. was it, would it be possible? yes, as a sake of the authorities and the chinese comes to party a congress you're taking place. so and onto under what will be happening up is the 3rd party congress. we don't know it because she didn't. but lansing is very clear, she didn't been constantly taking it as a chippy as power. that's like it made to keep it yours. it is all use i any kind of major to continue crack dawn and there because know he wanted chip it to the position so that slight recall internationally should be take concrete action not delayed and they should not be given more a more space on the chinese government continue and the in the are to city and the

kids are good people. it wasn't the depth of the report also, although china, but then i, we got genocide and the sprint misinformation and yet, so that's why we, we maybe call the what it is a time to take action. good. talk to so many thanks to you for being with us. store carissa them. who's in prague. thank we are fast approaching the midway point in this. these are still to come with the program. the capital of the us state of mississippi goes with up, say, flying rules for a 4th day after a treatment plan to failed out of sport. will hear from the world of the to those goals. civil war continues. ah, here's your forecast for the 1st of september for europe in africa,

so holy. the last few days we've been talking about thunderstorms carrying hale so and to show these pictures out of catalonia, are these hailstones by the way, about that size of grapefruit. so we had energy slide out of the parent ease, and that impacted the northeast of spain and still some showers around on thursday, but nothing like we just saw. storms have really stretch from the south of france, right through to romania, bigger part of italy being enveloped as wall. and we could see some outbreaks of severe storms including around romania. so some big downpours and also the risk of seen some hail here. some showers in the forecast for is stumble still, that heat locked into place for syria in jordan, but where those temperatures have come crashing down western russia st. petersburg . moscow for example, you're down to just 13 degrees on thursday. i think big problems likely across western africa with this batch of rain rolling across senegal de gambia at seeaire the own and the ivory coast is wall and same goes for bama ko. it's going to be

a washout with the high of $27.00 degrees. winds still the big story across south africa. so for the northern cape, the western cape, and they've shifted around. so that struck down the temperature in cape town to 18 degrees on thursday, sir, later. ah ah ah

safer than he'd been home and then he international anti corruption excellence award boat. now for your hero, lou ah, hello dennis. good every with us, adrian finnegan here in though how but the news out from al jazeera but headlines. ah, ukraine and russia. blame each other for attacks that of delay the un mission to assess the safety of europe's largest nuclear power plant inspectors are traveling

to the zap russia facility in southern ukraine. at least 4 people have been killed in fighting between wyvil, she eyed factions and the southern iraqi city of classroom tension remains high in iraq off to the influential she. i played a mac ta ta asada said that he was withdrawing from politics and the laziest form of 1st lady ross vermont saw, has been sentenced 10 years in prison for corruption. she was convicted on all charges including soliciting and receiving bribes. it comes days off to her husband, full of prime minister, not your browser, was jailed for corruption. shanker of the international monetary fund have struck a deal for a $2900000000.00 bailout. people have been struggling for months under the countries west economic crisis since independence. they face acute shortages of foot fuel medicines and other essentials. the crisis has led to mass demonstrations . i'm forced to resignation of the president in july,

august. he was madell fernandez reports now from colombo watch the agreement means is that she lanka will have access to almost $3000000000.00 over a period of 4 years from the international monetary fund. now this will be mainly to stabilize the sri lankan economy to help it, i reach a place of sustainable deadweight can pay back all the money it has taken, as well as i begin to recover from the serious economic crisis that the countries in not one of the main things though, is that this is very much conditional on the fact that she lanka put together a proper plan with us that those that have lent it's money about how it's going to pay. those money's back for the i m f to be able to go ahead with her committing resources and lending it needs to assure itself that that

sustainability is being restored. rich involves engagement between the debtor, sir lanka, and the creditors which of course, multi fold. the agreement, if it goes through, looks at a number of reforms, one to improve the government's earnings. it basically passes on the real costs of things like electricity of fuel, which has been subsidized for many, many years. and politicians have been worried about changing the state of school. now obviously people, as you can see, still q is 3 villa drivers earning a daily living. and these are people that are really, really struggling, which for long cause economic crisis. the i am if says that their agreement is with the sri lankan people and they want them essentially to benefit overall. but again, this all depends on where the agreement goes. and when sri lanka actually sees the

money for kristen's former prime minister im wrong cons pre trial, bail has been extended after he appeared in court earlier. he's charged on the anti terrorism laws of a commons made a recent rally. prosecutors accused him of threatening 3 policeman and a judge on sirus come. all hider was outside the court, and his mom about the former prime minister im ron conroy due to appear in the court earlier today, however, it tornado told the anti terrorist court that there was a credible threat against emron conn. and therefore, idea that he should be excused from the proceedings. however, the anti terrorist court said that he would have to show up. so im ron con. then coming to the court, he was there for less than a few minutes after which the court adjourned our till the 12th of september, granting him additional bell till the 12th of september showed dramatic development

test id antiterrorist court. and of course saw a lot of people again coming in support of him. ron fond is supported, were standing on the other side, there was a heavy police presence and we talked to some of the party leadership about what was likely to happen next. i'll tell you what, no one in the world you'd find, such an example that here is a person speaking against torture. and this government has put garrison charges on him. this is insane. what people are pakistan have decided done, shy nation is standing behind in ron hahn and the demand is very clear. they want image is free and fair elections in pakistan, and that is the only way forward m ron hahn will now be appearing before the anti terrorist court on the trails. are many legal experts in this country believe that the charges leveled against them are frivolous and that did not stand

a chance of success. however, it is going to be interesting to see what happens next. the u. s. justice department says that it has evidence that former president donald trump's team was hiding classified files. that is florida home. it also says his advisors were obstructing an investigation into whether he'd illegally remove top secret documents from the white house. trump's legal team deny the allegations out there as alan fisher reports, it's a remarkable photo documents recovered by the f b i from it's read on the florida home of former president, donald trump. some marked in bright red or yellow top secret. and if you look closely, others mark h. c. s highly classified papers which could have details on american spies or secret human sources. the august 8th grade came after repeated efforts by the authorities to have trumps tim returned documents taken when he left the white house. trump's lawyers claimed they had made

a diligent search and they had nothing that needed to be returned, but the rate uncovered more than a 100 classified documents. not just in the storage area at mon illegal, but in the ex president's desk, the filing stating that government records were likely concealed and removed. and that efforts were taken to obstruct the government's investigation. the idea that he didn't know he was holding on to classified information they were sitting in his desk in his office, not just in the storage room. it's very hard to make the argument on true social, the ex president social media channel, he offered up a line of defense terrible the way the f b i during the rate of merrill lago through documents half heartedly all over the floor. perhaps pretending it was me that did it, and then started taking pictures of them for the public to see thought they wanted them kept secret. lucky i declassified. but while running for president in 2016, he attacked hillary clinton's handling of sensitive documents insisting no one was
