1st leave of an independent bosnia herzegovina as that bag from prisoner to prison owner. josie though, we understand the differences and similarities of culture across the world. so no matter how you take it out 0, we're bringing the news and current affairs that matter to you. count his era ah, quality and democracy are under a saw sounding the alarm president joe biden accuses donald trump and his supporters being a threat to the u. s. and calls on folks is to reject extremism. ah,

until mccrae. this is elgin's here, alive from dive. ha! also coming out and you play a plant in the middle of a war zone, you in experts carry out their 1st inspection of this operation nuclear facility. despite shelling nearby on the lockdown, the chinese city of ching do imposes new cove at 19 restrictions, including mass testing to try and contain the latest outbreak and to rice against time to hold back the water and disaster had pakistan as some areas in the south bryce for more floods. ah, you as president joe biden has launched a scathing attack on his predecessor and those republicans who support him. he said to donald trump and has back his pose

a threat to the very foundations of the united states. he said that equality and democracy under assault across the us to march of what's happening in our country today is not normal. donald trump, with the mag republicans represented extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic. i want to be very clear, very clear up front not every public and not even a majority of public or magnet republicans. not ever republican embraces, are extreme ideology. i know, because i've been able to work with these mainstream republicans, but there is no question. the republican party today is dominated driven, intimidated by donald trump, and maggie republicans are more now on the speech from our white house correspondent kimberly helped us. it's not surprising that the president mentioned

donald trump by name, given the fact that it appears to be a calculation on the part of the white house for some time. now we've seen the white house increasingly aggressive in terms of the language that the president has been using in his speeches towards the republican party and particularly the president. it is a strategy that was tested in the spring. and increasingly, what we seen woven into the speeches is this all for mag of reference, as you say, the make america great. again, reference in to sort of categorize the republican party at least a faction of it as being extremist in nature. as the reason that the president in his party are doing this is because this has been somewhat successful in a really pointing out a vulnerability of the republican party referencing the january 6th attack on the u . s. capital something that many americans were horrified to see. it,

it's an image that air conjures up a very painful memory for many americans when they felt that democracy was in fact under attack. and so this is something that, the republicans, i feel as a vulnerability, and democrats are seizing on that in advance of the congressional elections, which are now about 8 weeks away. and so this is a deliberate strategy on the part of the democratic party and the white house the head of the u ins. atomic watchdog has warned that the physical integrity of europe's launches, nuclear power plant has been violated. raphael across he and his team have finally been able to inspect this up ratio complex and new crime, kiva and moscow have accused each other of attacking the plant and risking nuclear catastrophe. theresa bow reports from your crimes capital aah!

route. fighting around the somewhat easier nuclear power plant in the city of in order that it did not prevent the un nuclear watchdog team from crossing the front lines. ah, in spite of the dangers, the team led by the international atomic energy director ref i ludowici moved ahead to begin the much expected visit ago. glossy said he was able to inspect vital equipment. i worry, i worried i warry and i will continue to be worried about the plant until we have a situation which is more stable, which is more predictable. it is obvious that that that plant and the physical integrity of the plant has been violated several times by chance. by deliberation. moscow says kiva sent a sabotage team to try to recover europe's largest north hill power plant that's been under russian control since march. first of all, wasn't malott up at 6 20 am to teams of ukrainians saboteurs. 60 men stroll you 7

speed boats attempted to landon banks of the kafka water reservoir, some 3 kilometers, little feast to the supper is your nuclear power plant. he denies all accusations and says moscow is trying to manipulate the visit, carried out attacks around the city, to terrorize the population, and the ukrainian employees inside the plant. their well being is a major concern for ukrainian officials. keith says one of its reactors had to be shut down because of the shelling on thursday, and it warned about the possibility of a meltdown if the plant goes offline completely. the visit is expected to last for a few days until the un team on the ground can evaluate the dangers on site. the situation around the nuclear power plant has had authorities here in keep on the edge as they're hoping russia will demilitarized the area. but russia has already said it has no plans to remove its troops any time soon. that is how i'll defeat

active it when lyman is director of nuclear power safety at the union of concerned scientists. he says the i e. s. mission is crucial. i think this mission is very important. i just to have the ability of a 3rd party, relatively impartial group, assessing what's going on was very important. unfortunately, of the main part of the mission only seemed to have lasted a few hours. there are a about 5 i e, a inspectors still there for a few days. and there may be an during presence after that, but to really get a sense of all the potential damage in the state of the equipment and the state of mind of the workers there that seem really need to be there longer and to have more expansive inspection the reactors themselves are under reinforced concrete containment building, so they have some level of protection,

but they are vulnerable to it, to damage to other parts of the plans that are not as well. protected primarily the off site power source as well as the emergency on site power sources. these are not as well protected as we've seen. the off site power has gone down a few times already recent weeks, a forcing some of the reactors to shut down. and nuclear power plants are vulnerable if they don't have access to reliable, stable offsite power. so that, that is the major concern. in a show of growing military cooperation, russia and china holding wargames the week long drills are taking place in russia's far east. in the sea of japan, more than 50000 troops are involved. i am on web is a research fellow at the is raj, a roth, them school of international studies at nang yang. technological university. he says, ties between china and russia have grown stronger. i think it is

a case of the proverbial i'll scratch my back on. you and you 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 cd, russian invasion of the korean and a chinese look the other way. i didn't really join the majority of the international community. ready and in pushing against that, and likewise buttons 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 thought going on between these 2 countries. and i think the military exercises clearly provided a clear strategic signal that they will walk rating coordinate, military affairs together. now of course, additional members joining into this exercise of countries like mongolia and nicaragua allows, i mean it's, it's,

it's quite disconcerting because these countries were formally allies of the former soviet union coming on board in this enterprise. and it's a sign that russia is telling the world, and it's not alone, and it has, it has covered our friends that will recovery. germany has announced it will charter, another floating natural gas terminal, as part of its plan to stop relying on russian energy. the terminal will have the capacity for 5000000000 cubic meters per year and will be ready for use in the winter of 2023. it will bring the country's total number of terminals to 5. the chinese, the city of ching do is in lockdown, author reporting $157.00 locally transmitted cases of covered 19 millions of residents are being tested. the lockdown will initially last for 4 days, but may be extended chain. due is the largest chinese city to go into lockdown since shanghai lifted its restrictions in may. china has adopted

a so called 0 current policy in recent months, petrik fock has more from beijing. little down in can do is significant, not just because the fact that it's a massive city, it's a city of 21000000 people, the capital of citron province. it is in fact the largest city to go under a locked. and since a shanghai went under a bruising 2 month long locked down earlier this year. but also because jim do is a key manufacturing hub home to lots of automakers and tech companies. and that accounts the 1.7 percent of china's g d p. so this is going to have very serious ramifications for china's economy and it's coming after just a $157.00 cases were reported there. there's going to be 4 days of mass testing to go along with this lockdown, but authorities haven't said how long it's going to last for. meanwhile, sions and has put under semi locked and several key districts, including bow on a nan, sha districts, nan char, home to 10 cent, as well as the drone maker,

d j i. our entertainment venues are shut altogether in. restaurant dining has been limited. there's also going to be tighter health checks, their notably factory activity contracts for the 1st time in 3 months in august and another sign of the impact that covered curves as having on china. but the latest development showed that policy makers absolutely want to stick to this 0 covert approach. we're still ahead on al jazeera in the count town is on to vote and a crucial poll on shallows future. and mexico as president, delivers his state of the union speech entrees. manuel, look his over door remains popular despite a series of setbacks. ah hello, welcome to look at the international forecasts and we'll start with an update on

our super typhoon. you can see that clearly marked eye on the storm mer. this is a very well organized system and is not moving too far to quickly winds at the moment of around 270. so 250 kilometers per hour. some very, very strong winds on a super typhoon here. those winds will ease of a touch over the next few days, but it is gonna remain a very intense storm stuck in a very similar position. we have rain stuck in a similar position across the northern parts of the region here, extending between the korean peninsula and japan. that's going to bring some very heavy right in here over the next few days. possibility of some fatima less focus on our stall. it's moving a little further southwards and west was at present, and it will pull its way further north is as we go on through the next few day. so, staying in a similar position for the next day or 2, we're looking at some very heavy rain coming through here, particularly affecting taiwan across the southern japanese islands as it gradually,

much is a little further north. it's over the next couple of days. so this will cause problems as we go on through the next day or so. heavy showers to into northern parts of the philippines over the next day or so with a good scattering showers, the se, asia, ah, for scientists, the evidence is irrefutable. but americans, climate change deniers stubbornly mistrusted the fact. despite soaring temperatures, raging wild fires and shrinking water reserves, the world's largest economy still split alongside the logical lines. so can it ever reach consensus to avoid catastrophe? climate wars ought to on a j 0 lou

ah, ah, bill watching al jazeera, a reminder of our top stories, the sour you as president joe biden has accused his predecessor, donald trump, and the republicans who support him of threatening democracy. he warned that they want to take the country backwards and urge forces to reject what he called extremism. the head of the u ins. nuclear watchdog has warned that the physical integrity of europe's largest nuclear power plant has been violated because of the war. and you cried. raphael glossy and his team finally got a chance to inspect the supple ratio plans on thursday. the chinese city of ching do is in lockdown after reporting $157.00 locally transmitted cases of covered 19 millions of residents of being tested. the long town will initially last for 4 days,

but may be extended. china has adopted a so called 0 coven policy in recent months. will pakistan southern send provinces bracing for more floods from brushing rivers in the north record monsoon, ryans and melton glasses have triggered the country's worst flooding disaster zane . beth's ravi reports from me hot and daughter district where people are trying to save their town from suffering. the same fight as so many others. ah, i filled the bags, hold back the flood, or risk losing everything. where the road disappears into deep water. there is a desperate race against time. every one must help and every back counts. mirror is on the front line of pakistan's flood crisis. a city in a fight for survival. within a few days, residents built

a wall of mud and sandbags around their town to keep the water out. i've got to get bonnie, can you buy it to do more water comes, then there will be a threat. but for now the waterfall stopped. and if at some point there is another breach, that would be a risk. but for now, the city is safe, but it was the optimism in the face of mounting odds part of the job. but some of the cities residents blamed the local government for being slow to act was so per month there is a lot of confusion here. they only want us to leave when there was a breach. they should have warned people sooner. they're telling us at a time when people can't go anywhere, the roads have already been blocked. look at close the waters come, i mean, look at close the waters come with a fear of even more flooding has forced some to walk out where they can and where it is too deep search and rescue operations are also underway, but many families remain perilously close to a growing threat. this is

a town that is almost completely surrounded by flood waters. local officials tell us that 80 percent of the 1000000 people who live here have already evacuated. those that have stayed behind or either waiting to see what happens or they are working around the clock to make sure that this mud wall does not breach. because this must be sandbags. these are the only things that are standing between this town being saved or being completely overwhelmed by flood waters that are everywhere. compounding matters a relief operation, still struggling to get off the ground towns. people surrounded a rescued vehicle, demanding food. but there was none to give empty handed and angry. they say they don't know what is worse, not having enough to keep an ominous rising water at their doorstep. zane basra v o g 0 mer doug district, send the packet spon campaigning is wrapping up and chill eyes. constitutional

referendum which will be held on sunday, the promise to re draft. the document followed violent protests against equality in 2019. the final version was written by especially elected assembly and presented in july includes gender equality, indigenous rights, and environmental protections. how latin america is hurt. lou, cheer newman has more. you know what we are on the final campaign rally? hi to me in. so plan to vote against the new draft constitution or there are a transfer reject vote. there are only a few 100 people here very, very few. indeed, there are enthusiastic no waiting the gillian flag and vowing to do everything in their power to stop clearly from having a constitution which they believe is too radical to restrictive to vague. and which one does stabilize the economy, particularly as well as to leave political system. now, on the other side of town at this hour, there are tens of thousands of others. we plan to approve the new constitution.

they are very, very gregarious. they sound very confident, they say that this new constitution will give chile what it has always needed, and that is a more just society where the state guarantees, health, education, decent attention, schooling, and much, much more effective. this would be the 1st constitution in the world, the civically recognizes the problems of climate change and the need to protect the environment. some very, very strict articles and that's what the people here say goes too far, that it would make it difficult for minors. and for investment in this country, other, other than that though, there is a lot of doubts about the details. the devil as we say is in the details. mm hm. so both people on the approve and the reject side have said that if this constitution goes through more changes have would have to be made. perhaps the most interesting thing of all is that this will be the 1st next in ever where it will be mandatory for everybody to vote,

including including people who are not previously registered. that means millions of young people will go to the polls for the 1st time, and it's still unclear just how that will go. so far, the polls indicate that the majority of opinions are going to reject this constitution as it stands now and are asking for it to do for the country to start all over again and rewrite a new constitution, which would be at least in theory, ready in a year's time, but if it does, when, if they're brutal, why does when it will be by a very, very small margin. again, it is still too close to call at this point, but we'll have to see what those millions of children who never voted before. i will decide when they go to the polls on sunday, mexico's president has delivered his 4th state of the union address on dress. manuel lopez open a door is still popular, even though inflation is at a 21 year high. there's also an increase in drug related violence. he's proposed

reforms to the national god, including putting the units under the control of the army on well, polo has more from mexico city, mexican president under this manuel lopez over the order delivered his 4th state of the nation address, eager to town more than a dozen policy advances, everything from improved access to health care and education, to job creation, and even reducing violence nationwide. now, despite worsening inflation in the country, a sluggish economy, and what many a perceived to be in an inadequate response to the pandemic. the president still enjoys an approval rating of about 60 percent. lot of that has to do with an ongoing rhetoric that he's maintained since the beginning of his presidency. that his government is one that is trying to improve the livelihoods of the poorest citizens of the country. take a listen, it may, he general mean loudly, her mexico is no longer dominated by an oligarchy. instead, there now exists a democratic government whose priorities the poor, corruption is not tolerated,

nor is there impunity for anybody. one place that president lopez over the board has lost ground is on the question of violence. the president strategy to pacify the country has within one that include more boots on the ground. critic say that further militarization of mexico security forces in the long term is not a solution to worsening violence. the chairman of russia's 2nd largest oil company has died after falling from a hospital window according to russian media reports revel megan off was being treated at a clinic in moscow. g. the. the coil chairman is one of super high level russian executives who have died in the last year. in july, a shipping ceo with ties to the state energy company gives problem was found shot did in his swimming pool. fill browder is the founder and ceo at hermitage, capital management in author of written notice. he says, he doesn't believe russia's explanation of the death. i think it's

a murderer. if you have one person falling out a window that's suspicious, but when you have a oil, executives, oil, and gas executives over a short period of time, all dying under mysterious circumstances, it looks like a pattern. i think that this is a pattern that's connected with a fight inside of the potent regime over who gets the spoils of the oil and gas industry. and based on what i can see, it looks like he was pushed out the window because somebody wanted to ask something which he was standing in front of and wouldn't let them get it. these types of incidents are organized by the secret beliefs. they call it the f s b. keep your listeners may, may know the name k g b, which is the previous secret police, but it's now the f s p. and this is an organization that regulated carries out assassinations and products and all sorts of other crimes. both economic and

otherwise, and we've seen them do many other things very similar to this. the reason for this type of actions is that the economic pie has shrunk as a result of sanctions. the amount of money flushing around moscow is a lot less than it used to be. and so because there's less money, there's more people fighting over that money. and when people fighting over money in russia usually leads to murder, so i would expect more murders to happen. poland says it will be demanding $1.00 trillion dollars in world war 2, reparations from germany. the figure follows the release of a report on the costs of the nazi occupation of poland from 959 to 945, poland rights. when governments in the country has not been fully compensated, dominic kind reports from berlin. when german forces attacked, poland in 1939 adore hitler said he was writing historic wrongs done to his country

. the war he started would leave the continent in ruins and kill tens of millions of people. few suffered more than the poles. one in 6 of them died under german occupation. nearly 2 thirds of their industry was destroyed. more than 3 quarters of their infrastructure was ruined. now the modern polish state believes the modern german state should pay. yes, awesome. above the poverty, 1.3 trillion years is a very serious sum. but considering payment of his kind of compensation is spread over decades, it's a summer german economy can perfectly overcome about being crushed. the compensation paid to france for the 1st world war damages stopped any 10 years ago . like i said, this summer's quite realistic now. but not to modern german eyes. successive governments of said a deal in 1953, between the communist governments in warsaw and berlin waved poland claim for compensation. the present polish government says its predecessor was forced by the

soviets to make the offer, and so it should not count. in one sense, germany has already lost much around a quarter of its territory, was annexed by the usaa and poland after the war. millions of people who had lived there were evicted at accepting the loss of this territory was key to bringing about german reunification off to the cold war. be by there are some who say the current polish government may be using the restorations argument to make political capital at home, fully tonic structure. so something like 83 percent of their supporters want this to happen. elections are coming up next year and having run out of other issues and definitely wanting to distract from inflation and that fuel shortages and other problems that poland is facing. in recent times, democratic germany has tried hard to right the wrongs done by nazi germany building monuments, so the many millions who were murdered and expressing determination never to repeat

the sins of the past. but also arguing that the time for compensating the countries that were invaded and occupied is over dominant came al jazeera berlin, a man has been detained after pointing a gun at argentina's vice president. the incident happened when christina fernandez kerchief stepped out of her. com. she dunked as soon as she saw the pistol and the man was grabbed by some of her produce some of her supporters kitchen as back as have been gathering outside her home innocence prosecute is called for her to be giles in connection with a corruption case that dates back to her time as presidents well, national test results released and the united states show that the coven 19 pandemic, has had a serious impact on children's education. the results show that 9 year olds lost ground and math, while reading schools fell by the largest margin in 30 years. but pandemic learning

loss isn't just an issue in the he with a global report shows students from around the world are up to a year behind. in this schooling, students in latin america and south asia are the most impacted in the long term. these learning gaps could main lower earnings for students and lower economic pro, productivity for nations. by 2040, the impact could lead to an annual loss of more than $1.00 trillion dollars world wide. yes, mean sheriff is the director of education cannot white the united nations global billions all of fun for education and emergencies, and protected crises. she says the situation is extremely alarming to then. the number has skyrocketed to a shocking, 222000000 children and other lessons. half of them guards who are suffering in, in situations of conflict. climate can use the sauces,
