al jazeera, with structure frank assessments. these heat waves we're seeing now, are they a product of global warming? we will say more of these events. what is happening is that climate change it making them work in depth analysis of the days headlines inside story on al jazeera . ah, this is al jazeera. ah, though i'm carry johnston. this is a nice our live from dough. how we're coming up in the next 60 minutes, un inspectors reach the russian held nuclear power to ukraine,

despite shelling along the route to their journey. poland, to demand up to $1.00 trillion dollars, while he, reparations from germany. the losses incurred during the world will take 3 days of mourning in basrah, after deadly crashes that left for killed will be live in iraq. for the latest i'm saying best ravi and pakistan, southern sin province where people in towns like this are using mud walls and sandbags to hold back the flood waters and is full. the serena williams, sherry set for at least one more performance. the 23 time grand slam champion has kept sir simon on hold with another when at the u. s. r. where we begin in ukraine, where a team of you and experts has finally reached europe's largest nuclear power facility. their arrival acts,

the russian occupants operation plant in southern ukraine was delayed by ours due to shelling along the route cave and moscow blame each other for the fighting. the cranes nuclear agency says one of the 2 operational reactors has been shut down because of russian mortar attacks. will i have now to theresa bo in key. if so, theresa, the inspectors have arrived. what's happening now then? well though it took them days to arrive. there and in spite of the shelling and fighting that has been ongoing, the united nations nato watched acting, manage to make it to the plan. so that in just the director of the i, 8 him on the ground, said that they visited or that already visited several areas within the plans. and that our team is going to remain in place until september 3rd, when they're going to evaluate several things among them. for example, that the safety systems are in place, how at the condition of the ukrainian technicians that are working there,

and also that level of damage that has happened. let's not forget that just until a few days ago they were reports at several shell. it's had funding very, very close to where the, the, the nuclear reactors are located as close to where the nuclear fuel is or their rear radiation a waste. so this is a major concern. they'll have to evaluate what's going on in the ground and was also a very intense days in fighting and increasing fighting. ukrainian officials say that this is russia's way of terrorizing that population of terrorizing that ukrainian workers, while russia a saying that ukraine tried to take back the plant using a special teams on the ground, something that ukraine's continues to deny. so, you know, this is not going to be over now. the i 18 is on the ground, evaluating the possible dangers of this place, but it's not something that is going to be rebuilt today. it may take them several days for them to find out what's exactly going on and to raise you mentioned safety

concerns them. what are the concerns surrounding the nuclear plant right now? well, not clear power done so not dust, didn't or meant to be in a war zone. and this is what's happening with us have, what is your nuclear power plant since russia took control of it back in march when this invasion happened over in february. but later on in march they took the plan. they had been shelling different position of the ukrainian forces all across the disney pro river. so there's been intense fighting between both a russia and ukraine and both blaming each other about what's going on there. so suddenly there are concerns about the possibility of a radioactive leak. there's been concern among the local 3rd population. that's why your forty's have been distributing i o d bill for them to be able to taking case. there is a leak. this is something that would protect the thyroid gland, so up it's been distributed but widely, all around the area. so there's definitely concerned this is

a country that has seen in the past already a nuclear disaster. they know what happened doing it back in the 1980s during to know with them. that's why there's lots of concern. but of the same time ukraine once to push russia to the military, the area they want those troops out. and that's not clear whether the i e team will be able to achieve this because the supported to nuclear power plant is also provides around 20 percent of electricity in this country. and that's a major concern for you. bringing officials to as the winter time is coming closer, you know, electricity is crucial. there's around 40 percent off of, of the population in this country is in need of humanitarian assistance. so there's lots of biz concerns that are related to what's happening right now at the disability to a nuclear power plant, to reserve our in kia, thank you for that update. while ross's foreign minister insists moscow is upholding its end of security guarantees for the you and nuclear inspectors,

we really sure we're doing everything to ensure that the plant is safe. and for the i a mission there to carry out all of us 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 shilling. we insisted that the mission must include experts and 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 go. by the show of growing defense cooperation, russia and china are holding wargames the week long military drills are taking place in russia far east and see of japan boss talk. 2022 involves more than 50000 troops and thousands of weapon. it's including aircraft and portions. graham on web is a research fellow at the roger raton, m. s. school of international studies that non young and logical university. he

says, there's a growing partnership between china and russia. i think it is a case of the proverbial i'll scratch my back in your skin and you scratch mine. and i think we saw this in terms of how things are played out over the course of this year. and we saw the socially russian invasion of the korean and the chinese looked the other way and, and really joined the majority of the international community and in pushing against that. and likewise, our whitten's administration has also turned the other way when it came, when has come to the issues of taiwan question and china's concerns about foreign interference in, in this particular issue. so clearly, there is a concert, a concert of saw going on between these 2 countries. and i think the military exercises clearly provide a very clear strategic signal that they will walk rating coordinate or military affairs together. now of course, additional members joining into this exercise,

countries like mongolia and nicaragua allows, i mean it's, it's so it's quite disconcerting because these countries were formerly allies of the former soviet union coming on board the indies and the prize. and it's a sign that russia is telling the world that it's not a long and it has, it has covered our friends that will recovery. china says you and report on its treatment of wiggers is full of nies. after months of delay and attempts by beijing to block it, the un human rights office has released the findings of its investigation into alleged abuses of mostly muslim minorities. it says there is evidence to suggest that china may have committed crimes against humanity, victoria gayton. he reports that michelle bachelor's, long awaited report is a damning indictment of china's treatment of the weaker population. it found that we go 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's report was commissioned more than 3 years ago and 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 and shing jang fight, what it calls terrorism and provide weigle with better economic opportunities each other to their full leader people bulk of the so called assessment is orchestrated and produced by the u. s. and some western forces and is completely illegal and void. it is a patchwork of disinformation, but serves as a political tool for the u. s. and other western countries to using jang to contain china. you read 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 weaker 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 create 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 detailing 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 putting falk is in beijing with more on the chinese government's reaction. what the theorist responds to come out of the foreign ministry and beijing today gives you a little bit of an idea of 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 of 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. the u. s. government appears to have made

a policy. you turn just after ordering the top tech firm and video to stop selling sophisticated computer chips to china. oh, for more on this sir, that speak to alan fisher, who's in washington d. c. for us, alan, how surprising is this apparent you turn by the united states quite well. it's all really odd to take from told the markets at the end of business on wednesday that the government had said, you can't export or develop high tech chips that they do send to china because they are worried that the chinese is using it for military purposes. also perhaps for e, i and then on thursday morning we are told that the company has been given the or k to go ahead and develop these chips and even sell them to china until september next year. so what changed? well, i spoke to one expert and said, what's going on here is mala that could be benefits to the chinese saying, look,

you are going to head global supply chains. that is a possibility. and then turn that could impact not just the united states economy, but also the chinese economy as well. because this export business alone is what their own $400000000.00 to this tech company. then there is the added problem as well. that the shares in this company are tanked over night, and that is the possibility then, that they could take legal action against the government for not giving them more notice. so that appears to be the case. so this is an all very odd thing. at not least because the expert said, look, if job by them, wanted to do this and punish china. why didn't he do it when he was an age of pacific? and also if there was an issue with the chinese using this technology for military purposes, it's the sort of thing that donald trump would have jumped on. and so he would have done this a couple of years ago. so it's all very marky, but the upshot is that the company can no trade, at least for a year, which gives them the opportunity to move it to develop other markets and also move

out of the chinese market and perhaps win them off these high tech chips. that they send for really complex computers and really complex machines. the expert i spoke to, he said, look, this was a bad idea from the start. and he said initially, look, that they might you turn on this, but how long do you take before it doesn't look sloppy? is it 6 months as a year? turns out, it was just a couple of hours in washington dc for us. allen, fisher, thank you. well, plenty more head on my knees are including it will take a closer look at the latest in a string of mysterious debts of russian oil executives. the wife of malaysia's former prime minister, magic ransack is found guilty of corruption. and in football, the english premier league leaders continue there, perfect start flu season. ah,

now in iraq at least 4 people have been killed in fighting between rival shiites fractions. the southern city of basra remains on edge after violence began on wednesday. attentions are high after she like the them of target, how sadder said he was withdrawing from politics. his supporters and iran back forces engaged in heavy fighting in bagdad earlier this week. let's bring in my hood abdur whitehead, who's foreign developments from baghdad. mark mood or what more can you tell us? will the southerner city over a bustler is now in mourning for 3 days and hours had by its governor aside al a danny to day for those who fill in the clashes that get up early in the morning between our armored brigades affiliated to influence,

shall she at lead there mocked at us other known as a ser, i, a salon or a salon piece brigades on the one hand. and it those affiliated to our saw a, a little huck, a pro iranian armored group that is lead by there are prominent to prove in a, in an politician place a has alley. if the city is in now in morning, are the victims, families have are held a few dollars for their loved ones in the city. and there also is the governor and other security sources in the city say that they are now in full control of the city after they have deployed military units and security forces in the area to maintain order and stability in the city of alabaster. as you know, this comes against the backdrop of monday's clashes in baghdad that left 13 at dead and 700 other as one did upon that is ignition of mock to the southern from the

political process. the clashes on monday and baghdad was at the heaviest, in a year's end, but that iran, iraq, in general between 2 major chart factions and mac mood. what can we make of the supreme court's decision? the supreme court has postponed the ruling on the petition or 5 the by the sawdust movement, demanding the dissolution of the parliament and early elections until next. at one is day. according to the constitution, the parliament can be dissolved only in 2 cases. that is, what is it the article not by $64.00 of the constitution stipulates that only into cases the parliament can be dissolved 1st, if it is requested by a majority of law makers, or if it is requested by the prime minister and approved by this the president of

the state, in both cases, it should go through voting and through other illegal proceedings inside the parliament. so that, that the supreme court says that it is not entitled to dissolve the parliament. but also, there are other articles or items in the constitution that also that's to be late, that the supreme court can intervene to dissolve a dispute or taught all in a dispute. in it, he got a door as one of the state institutions that turns this functional for a long time. and in case it hurt us the system, the political system in the country. my wound onto our hands in bagdad with that. thank you. let's take a closer look at her. i said our, our hark, which has been fighting with that santa supporters. it's a splinter group that broke away from tyler outsiders, militant group known as my, the army in 2006, the support of iran aside our,

our hike was originally created to fight against the us led coalition forces in iraq. it carried out numerous attacks against that coalition until its withdrawl in 2011 or the armed group is now part of the coordination framework. a block of she i to parties in iraq that opposes center as bring in not ruba ali al hassan is, she's post doctoral research associates at lancaster university where she studies iraq. she joins us now from manchester. welcome to the program. so is this violence allows you to continue, or could there be some form of mediation? thank you for having me on earlier this week we saw some mediation take place from 2 different there are reports to standing office, trying to mediate. and on the other hand, kids are a current love from love and try to mediate. and of course at this point,

there are many rumors. there are many reports going around and only over time we will know exactly what is most verified. we know that the strategic framework has thank me for his role and the assumption is that those very same parties will try to mediate again in the very near future. what do you think this says about a power sharing government model in relation to rocks, particular circumstances? what we're seeing today is the outcome of the politicization of identity of 2003, the power sharing consultation governing system that is no confessional is based on identity. and the very unofficial capacity so much of the government formation that iraq is unofficial. and not based on actual law,

based on consensus on the negotiations between parties between us and i can professional groups. and because identity has been politicize the way, they're always 1st to buy some parties to paint themselves as the legitimate or rightful representative of the nation about ethnic group density based group. and this is what we have been seeing over the past few years. and even this week, when he released his resignation statement and my job was the high spiritual authority condemning the southern, telling him that you are never going to be spiritual leader for interest. which minds you that the southern never claimed he was a spiritual leader. he always confusion political leader and he even responded to have his own resignation letter saying, i'm a political figure i'm, you know,

i engage in my own that you have in my own efforts, but i'm not a religious figure. so what we saw this, and this is what triggered the violence this week. within every group, there are efforts to fight over who has the greatest legitimacy and authority and represent saying, that's true, that's true group. and we've seen that among other professional backgrounds, you know, and even within the funding coalitions we've seen some conflict between lucy and the and other both shows within the kurdish groups. we also see the contents of the conflict between the k d, p and p. okay. but the difference here is that with these groups there are and they're, they're heavily armed and if they're willing to use seeing this week,

are they sunny? we appreciate your time here. and sarah, thank you to young palestinians have been killed by israeli forces during raids and occupies west bank. one of the victims was shot when is very soldiers entered the refugee camp. the 2nd was killed by israeli police in their city. the us national press club has posthumously awarded al jazeera correspondent, assuring actually its presidents awards. her niece lena actually receives the claim on her behalf in washington terrain. it was without 0 for 25 years, covering the story of the israeli occupation. she was shot in the head vice really forces on assignment in janine in may also, farrah media network continues to demand a rapid independence and transparent investigation into the kidney. the wife of malaysia's former prime minister j rosin has been convicted of corruption. she

we've been talking for days about flood waters coming from the north in other areas and coming down towards saying that we've, we've 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 in trying to hold back to 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 imminent breach and this water flowing through into the town and further on is still very real. so the head hair on al jazeera,

dollars in world war 2, reparations from germany. the figure, it follows the release of a report on the costs of the nazi german occupation from $939.00 to $945.00. poland . right? when government says the country has not been fully compensated by germany, yet, just remember the pardoner faced b. it is a very serious sum, but considering that the payment of this kind of compensation has spread over decades, it is the sum that the german economy can perfectly overcome without being crushed . yet the compensation paid to france, the damages of the 1st world war, stops only 10 years ago. now it can therefore be considered that this some is quite realistic. or staying with this sir. dominic cane joins us live from berlin. so what's the view from germany that the view from germany is unchanging and that is that the question of compensation for poland and it must be said for other countries who claim they should be owed reparations.

that question is closed. the time for such discussions is over. specifically, the german government says that an agreement was reached between the communist polish government and the communist east german government. in 1953 and agreement in which the polish side of the equation waved yielded their right to claim compensation. and that that is binding. now it must be said that the polish government now says that they should not be bound by that agreement because they believe that their predecessors were forced into that position by the soviet union . there are other things to point out here too though, which is one that the german situation in so far as compensation is concerned. remember, 25 percent of german territory was forcibly taken from germany at the end of the war and divided up amongst the ussr and poland. millions of people were

evicted from their homes, forced from that territory. and those 2 somehow remained, were forced to work for the soviet warlord masters as it were. so that is the view in one sense from germany that they had to accept the loss of so much territory. and that was confirmed in 1990 after the fall of the berlin wall when germany was re united. it was implicit and explicit the same time they had to accept poland borders as they are now. so you have a loss of expression of sympathy for the situation of the victims of nazi germany. but from a governmental perspective, no question about it. they do not and will not entertain the idea of compensating poland. and it has to be said, there are some who believe us here in berlin and in warsaw all that what is being sent by the government. there may be more for domestic political consumption than

with the really thought that they might get something from germany. dominate kane, thank you. well, joining us live for more so is not a slap sikorsky, a member of the european parliament and a former polish foreign minister. welcome to the program. why do you think this call for reparations or the compensation? what if you want, want to describe it is being made. now? i don't see germany committed, unspeakable crimes and pearl and up to $6000000.00. citizens the dead and the up to half of our economy destroyed. and we bought at potsdam the reparations that were decided upon by, by the pictures of the 2nd world war, assigned to poland, 15 percent of the soviet reparations claims. and we were cheated out of most

of that. so you could actually argue that it's some of the success of the state of the soviet union that owes us the reparations. but your report is correct. our populous leadership here in poland is, knows full well that legally, it's almost impossible to move this agenda forward. but they have a policy of attacking ally, germany, and it's used to play well in some parts of the right wing electric and looking at today's politics. then now, how might this strain relations with germany if at all? well, germany is our ally in nato is a most important economic partner with whom we have a trade surplus. and i, i personally think that at a time where enough to choose armies are trying to conquer ukraine. when we have an

actual present danger in the east is not the best time to be picking fights with our western friends. and alex, is this more a political move, then any real expectation that money will be paid? no, i think it sits to harden the right wing electra, which is prone to conspiracy theories. remember, at the same man that the leader of our ruling party claims that our, our president was killed in an, as an assassination in 2010 when he was actually a, a, a, and a crash. and, but they've captured, does state media which have been turned into an instrument of party propaganda. no inflation is high. economic prospects are not good at the end of the 2nd term of their office. so that catching a straws to try to a rest,

the sliding popularity i saw the sequence can we appreciate your time? thanks much indeed for joining us. thank you. students in france have returned to school after the summer break birds. some may not have a teacher. the french government says the $4000.00 vacant teaching posts have not been filled, teacher's union, se low pay, and the under valuing on the profession has worsened the crisis. and dr. butler reports from paris. ah, maxine could your worked as a substitute school teacher in the parish region for 7 years. he had to move schools often and was always on short contracts. he was passionate about the profession, but gave it up because he was frustrated with the system and the instability. in friedman polychrome, could you tell you were doing the same job as a staff teacher, your colleagues treat you the same and i had regular inspections like every one that went well. so the job is great, but what's difficult is that after

a while it gets tiring because you are changing schools all the time. and there comes a point where you need something reliable as winston did this year for 1000 staff teaching jobs in france or unfilled, say, to french governments, calling on substitute teachers to help alleviate the shortage. some have no classroom experience. so they given a full day crash course before being thrown into the deep end said format. sure, no, this training gives us a lot of pointers, tools, and resources, but then it's clear we will have to learn on the job. so trade union say that instead of relying on substitute teachers, the government should take a closer look at why there aren't enough staff teachers in the 1st place. they say the problem is that the profession is underpaid and under valued. as children returned to school in france after the summer break, some say the education system is in crisis. oh, really that the what we want to days to be able to work in good conditions to be better paid and have smaller class less. frances agitation, minister pap and g,
