the head of the u. n. 's atomic watchdog says he's worried about ukraine's apparition nuclear plants, and that 2 of his inspectors will stay at the site permanently to continue to monitor the situation. raphael grossi has just been speaking of vienna airport shortly after returning from the facility, the largest atomic power complex in europe. the site was captured by russian forces in february and has become a focus of deep concern with fears shelling of the vicinity through cause and nuclear disaster. we have been seen a military activity around the plant and i was able to see myself and, and my team at impact whole markings on, on buildings of them. so we means that the physical integrity of the foreseen has been violated. not once but several, several,
10:03 pm
we believe, and i continue to believe that this vision is extremely complex, extremely challenging, and it will continue to require to permanent, the permanent support and the monitoring that we are trying to provide. now that we are there, or gabriel alexander was monitoring that analysis, sir from kia gabriel. what do you see is the biggest take away from raphael groceries findings there? well, he said a lot of things and very interesting things. you could hear some of them there, but i would say that what i was struck most by was the fact that here in, ki, we've been hearing from a lot of officials that have been framing his visit as though it was stage managed by a russia officials and keith are indicating our insinuating that the russians were not allowing grosse and his team to visit everywhere they wanted to visit. that is
10:04 pm
clearly not the case. according to grossi, he said very clearly, that i was allowed to see anything that i wanted to see. i was allowed to visit anything that i wanted to visit and he said i was not prevented from visiting any part of the plan nuclear power plant that i requested to visit. so i think that that really lays to rest any sort of doubt that he was, and his team were able to visit everything, at least for the one day that grossi was there. that's important to point out. he was only there for one day. so the team part of the team is still there now and also in his remarks there at the airport. he also said that with the 2 members of the team that he plans to keep at the nuclear power plant permanently, he said it will. they will be critical because they will be able to sort of verify what is actually happening there,
10:05 pm
rather than having one side such as russia claiming one thing and ukraine, claiming another thing. he basically said now are permanent staff. the 2 members he says that will remain at the power plant, will be able to verify everything. i think those are some 2 key points there that he laid out. he also said that the report that he and his team are, are working on about their findings, they're on their visit, he hope to have that completed as early as end of this week. and gabriel, how do we think these findings will be viewed by the ukrainian leadership? do they offer a degree of reassurance stealing well, the findings of the report, you mean, or the findings of what was just said at the press conference or the findings of this report by the i a sure. yeah, absolutely. i think that it depends what said, i mean, it's clear that the ukraine officials here are very skeptical. they clearly
10:06 pm
think that this russia manipulated the visit by the i a officials. and, you know, even going so far as to claim the ukrainian journalists and foreign press here and ukraine were not allowed to visit the plant that was blocked by russians. that's a little bit up for debate. it's contested if you will. but the bottom line is, i think that the ukraine unofficial so far are very clear. they wanted the i. e officials to very quickly come out and say russia needs to leave the nuclear power plant immediately. and so far that is not happened. they have not been very forceful. so for the i a in terms of saying that it must be demilitarized by russia immediately. the i. e is a, is running a very delicate fine line here. they're not here with
10:07 pm
a mandate on who fired artillery at the plant. they're not here to enforce any sort of no, for any sort of demilitarized zone. so it's very complicated situation, quite frankly. and it really depends on what comes out of that report on how each side will view it. gabriel is under live in care. many thanks. wealthy economies, the form, the g 7 group of nations have agreed to set a price cap on russian oil, hoping it will hit moscow's ability to fund the war. new crane g 75 in as the finance ministers also hope the cap on crude oil and petroleum products will help reduce global energy prices. they say they will, we visit the price as necessary. russia has fired back saying it will stop selling oil to countries that agree to a price limit. the european commission president says progress has been made to low a dependency on russia, the handy mike mines amish. baker. i have agreed on common storage and the storage
10:08 pm
level in europe now stands at 80 percent. this was achieved more quickly than expected. in fact, we had only expected this in 2 months. we have worked intensively on getting away from our dependency on russian gas by turning to other supplies by now, nor we deliver us more gas to europe than russia. the united states delivers a large amount of liquefied natural gas to europe. but all of this is not enough, and the f you russian energy, john gas from says a major gas pipeline to europe can't resume deliveries just hours before it was supposed to reopen. this is european countries struggle to secure enough fuel for the winter deliveries from the north stream. one pipeline which runs to germany were meant to resume at o $100.00 g m t on saturday. russia close it on wednesday, citing maintenance work. thou gas from says a turbine has been damaged and gas flows will have to be halted for longer. the kremlin says western sanctions are making it hard to carry out routine maintenance
10:09 pm
. but the e u has previously accused moscow of using gases, an economic weapon. ah . right well returning to our top story now the surprise returned. i've got to buy a raja pack said the asked the president of sri lanka, who is now we gather, returned to his home. countrymen. l fernandez is live in colombo for me. now. what more can you tell us about this? the return of credit and now the former president of roger pox has happened and unfolded very quickly. we did hear obviously after that ceremony exists in mid july as the sort of peak of the protest of a sort of public movement that code for his exit from the presidency under the sort of banner go to go home. he literally fled the country on
10:10 pm
a military jet that took him to the motives because he felt unsafe in terms of the way things were unfolding. you had tens of thousands of people on the streets in the capital colombo, the overran the official residents of the president. at the time, we heard that he was still, we didn't to spend mrs and had to be evacuated to safety. and that was very dramatic scenes over the been he had to leave you been looking for different ways he, we were hearing reports that he was going to different airports. and then finally the exit was on that slide. so for many people, it's quite a surprise that literally within weeks he has chosen to return to the country. that is also in terms of what he has found in the other countries that he's going to.
10:11 pm
he's been in literally 3 countries initially and visit visa and things like that. but even in silent way, he was lost. it was in bank called he was very much confined to his hotel according to reports because the government that had told him that was that of security issues in terms of going out and about. so i think the former president key to get back to sherlock. obviously i'm the strict assurance from the current government, the hood that his party, the p. p, had met with the new president of the committee. and austin, for sure that he safety would be guaranteed all of this happening in the last week or 2, and meeting with the return of good to talk to she lanka. i did speak to the minister of public security who was at the airport. he said that the former
10:12 pm
president was getting formality in the v. i. p lounge waiting for those processes to finish. at which point he will sort of go come, come into the capital. now the expectation is that probably return to this by the president, but it did take very early stages yet the one thing he did say that the former president is very lax on his return home. right. and we wait to see what the public reaction to roger packs in return will be in the coming days for now. for now, michelle fernandez live in colombo. many thanks. supporters of argentine is powerful vice president who gathered and went to sara's after christina finance. as the cushion as survived an assassination attempt outside her home, a man has been arrested leah harding as the details. christina fernandez, da kirschner was greeting supporters outside her home in argentina when she was confronted with a gun held to her face. oh,
