another launch of its moon mission in the coming days off to scrubbing it for a 2nd time because of a fuel lake. ah, until mccrae, this is al jazeera live from dog. ha. also coming up. the i. e, i says ukraine separation planks been cut off from the main power grid. after continued shelling in the area, he said, i do want to know who the enemy of the state is him and the group that could draw him. donald trump blasts joe biden is really in pennsylvania, his 1st to parents since the former president's mar, logo resort was rated by the if the eye and final preparations for a historic decision to lions hid to the polls to vote on a new constitution. ah

ah nessa has rolled out another launch attempt in the coming days for its ottoman one moon mission. the u. s. face agency had to postpone lift off of its giant rocket earlier on saturday after a fuel lake. it was the 2nd time in a week that a technical issue has derailed. the mission. nasa says the lake is too complex to fix and a matter of days and a 3rd attempt will be delayed until at least late september. ellen fisher has been on standby at cape canaveral. this is artemus launch control at and t minus for hours and 45 minutes and counting. the rocket was primed. the count don't underway . but his feeling of the giant rockets began. it became clear that in that famous phrase, we have a problem. the last name has a recommendation of no go for launch to. ah, the nasa test director and last director a leak on the link pumping liquid hydrogen into the tanks was found. engineers ran through the plans to fix it, watch director charlie back while thompson just called, ah,

a scrub. but in the end, i to admit defeat the launch scrub for saturday. we do not launch until we think it's right. and these teams have labored over that. and that is the conclusion that they came to so i look at this as a part of our space program, of which safety is the top of the list. it's the 2nd time in a week the much the 8 optimist project had to be stopped short of launch on monday . it was an issue traced back to a faulty gauge launch period. 25 is definitely off the table. we won't be launching this period ends on tuesday. we will not be launching in this launch period. launch period 26 and 27 will really depend on the options that the team comes back

with likely on monday or early tuesday morning. thousands who gathered in the parks and on beaches across florida to space coast. hoping to see alina launch only to leave disappointed. i brought friends with us and foreign russia and our friends son's birthday. hovering the big candle to go off, but it didn't in unless you've ever seen a rocket go up. there's nothing like its heart pounding. shake your whole body and it's just something to say our committee has been plagued with delays with overruns and with a soaring budget. but nasa believes that even a short delay is worth it for a mission that will stretch over years and stretch the frontiers of space. our fisher, i'll gita cape canaveral, florida. i mean thompson is a contributor to spice dot com. she says it will take some time to reschedule the launch. it is definitely going to take a couple of weeks and i know that they have

a few different options as far as what to do. they can try to troubleshoot it at the launch pad, but it's summer time here in florida, and they have to make sure you know that the, all the pieces of the rocket are protected against the rain. and when you're at the cape, you also have to deal with, you know, seabreeze and possible salts and all of those good things. so the other option is to roll it back to the assembly building. and i'm assuming that if they do that, it's probably going to be more like october than september. i think nasa is expecting to have a little bit more information as they go through the data that was collected from the launch today and the rocket and have a, a better idea probably monday or tuesday on when they can launch in during the apollo era. you know, we put boots on the moon, we put flags on the moon and now nasa wants to go and do science and do some really important and you know, work that could benefit us here on earth. and it's also

a stepping stone to mars, you know, so that's one of nasa's big goals. and as we push further out into the solar system, we have to have the technologies, you know, to support that to support astronauts on the lunar surface on the martian surface. and so this flight is the 1st real test flight of the hardware. that is the only hardware we have right now capable of sending people to the moon. the international atomic energy agency says this upper region, nuclear power plants and ukraine has been disconnected from its last remaining external power line. but the facility is still managing to supply electricity to the grid through a reserve line connected to a nearby thermal power station. only one of the 6 reactors of the nuclear plants is now functioning for earlier russia accuse ukrainian forces of shilling near the facility. gabriel alexander has more from cave. well, the security and the safety situation are very both very tenuous down in the

separation nuclear power plant at this very hour, precisely because there was this main power source on the plant, the last remaining permanent power source. there. as you mentioned, the 3 others had already been knocked out during the war. this one went down. that's the bad news. the somewhat good news is that there's backup power system was able to kick in. and that is what is providing power to the nuclear facility at this hour. but that is not the ideal situation. this is essentially running on backup generators, if you will, to put it in sort of simple terms and you never want to be doing that at a nuclear power plant such as this, especially one is large as this is the largest in europe and provides over half the energy to all of ukraine. so this happened now also at a very critical juncture, was just about 48 hours ago that raphael grossi the director general of the

international atomic energy agency, visited the power plant. he's left in a reporter in speaking to the media 24 hours ago so that he was very concerned about the situation. and there are still several i. e, a staff members professionals that are there at the plant and they are the ones that reported the current situation. so they're monitoring it very closely with their ukrainian colleagues. but let's also remember that this plant is controlled by the russian military right now. russia's state energy company guest prom says siemens energy is ready to carry out repairs on the nord stream, one gas pipeline, to germany. but there is no way available to carry out the work gas pronounce on friday that it will not resume gas delivery through the pipeline. after a 3 day shot down, citing an oil leak. but the european commission says the move is under fallacious

pretenses and shows moscow is an unreliable supplier or former us president donald trump has called the f. b. i search it has mar lager of residence last month, a travesty of justice. he also had back at his successor and current president, joe biden, after he labeled him and his supporters as extremists. trump made the comments at a rally in support of 2 republican nominees for congress and pennsylvania. it was his 1st public appearance since the if b. i right joe biden came to philadelphia, pennsylvania to give the most vicious, hateful and derisive speech ever delivered by an american president vilifying. $75000000.00 citizens, plus another, probably 752800 and 50. if we want to be accurate about it as threats to democracy and as enemies of the state,

you're all enemies of the state. he's had a way of saying you want to know that the enemy of the state is him and the group that control him. oh, my cannon has more from washington d. c. in a speech that lasted well over an hour, donald trump repeated many of the claims he made before repeating his baseless claim that the 2020 election was stolen. he lashed out at president biden for accusing him and his maga, movement of being a real threat to democracy. he also accuse the f, b, i and the department of justice of being weaponized by the, by that administration. the somewhat ironic from someone who it must be remembered, fired the director of the f, b i and demanded absolute loyalty from the department of justice. this is what he had to say about the f b i search of his home. a few weeks ago you saw when we witnessed one of the most shocking abuses of power by any administration in american history. the

shameful raid and breaking of my home moral argo was a travesty of justice. that made a mockery of america's laws, traditions, and principles. before the entire world, the entire world was watching and their shock. but the speech was also notable, not for what trump said, but what he didn't, there was no mention of why he took the controversial documents from the white house in the 1st place. why his lawyers certified that they'd been returned when the f b. i search revealed that in fact, they hadn't, so many questions remain that were not answered within tram speech. he also did not repeat the claim that all these documents were declassified. something that has been made in social media. this is the type of statement that the f b i would lean in to should there be an investigation into obstruction of justice.

why are both leaders in pennsylvania at the same time? well, it's an absolutely critical state. and so the mid term elections and played a central role in 2016 and in 2020, when biden wanted 580000 votes. and that's likely to repeat itself in the mid terms where among other things, pennsylvania could well decide who controls the senate. often november, the still ahead on al jazeera, the final farewells of, alas, soviet lead him account gorbachev, but president vladimir putin stays away. and a new life in a world destroyed augustine's devastating floods for pregnant women and girls to give birth and shelters. ah,

a funeral of an important man, but not a state figure. to earlier thousands flame the streets of moscow to pay tribute to a man whose legacy shaped the modern world. i think this man dissolved peoples thou well ceremony. he's a historic pass and no matter what some people feel about him, he did a lot, and i think he did more good. some think that he did more bad. earlier this week, president vladimir putin paid respects to corporate job. but he skipped the funeral, citing his busy schedule. putin one said he considered the collapse of the soviet union to be the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century. hungarian prime minister victor urban was the only western leader to attend. the kremlin has been so far, quite respectful of, of li issues because garbage was not received the strong need and push and wants to

and appears to be and, and, and betrays himself as a strong leader. ah, forgot about your gorbachev's was often respected, revered, more in the west than at home in russia. his annual. that's why did you just curious to be honest, that a moon that one more that i live in the television advert from the 1990s. i got about you all out unfortunately, what about you did not make russia part of the west because the west didn't want that to happen. war much of certainly wanted it to happen. in 1087, he signed to disarmament treaty with us president ronald reagan removing a host of nuclear weapons. the treaty was the beginning of the end of the cold war . 2 years later, the berlin wall fell and one state after another broke away from the soviet union. he went on to win the nobel peace prize. leader came a failed crew by hardliners in moscow. the soviet union itself was dissolved and

gorbachev resigned. lord, yet now more than 30 years later, with russia's invasion of ukraine, comes the danger of a new cold war. rule. garbage have died at the age of 91 in moscow hospital after 2 years of serious illness. and while he was hailed the man of peace, he is left at a time of war. vinton monahan al jazeera hodge antennas. congress has held a special session to condemn the attack on its vice president. christina fernando, the kitchener. she survived an assassination attempt outside her harm and borne aside is on thursday, a man was arrested after pointing a loaded gun in her face which failed to fire when a k yana key. if hes war from warner, saudis, or to genius, house of representatives held a special session on saturday. the idea was to show a united front all political parties putting their differences aside to condemn the assassination attempt against vice president. christina fed none this. the

kitchener, she was attacked on thursday night as she was approaching her house and she was greeting supporters. a 35 year old man pointed a loaded gun to her face. the attack happened at a moment when argentina is very divided, inflation has reached more than 70 per cent and vice president. could he see nothing on this? the kitchener is also facing a trial. she's being accused of fraudulently awarding public works during her 2 terms as president of argentina from 2007 to 2015. now, after she was attacked, there was an outpouring of sympathy towards her and of condemnation against this political violence, which in case she had been shot, it would have been a tragedy in this country. people united they took to the streets on friday the day after the attack, but although all political parties united to condemn the violence and the hatred

speech, they soon enough were showing their divisions with the opposition accusing the government of using this politically. now what we know about the assailant is that he apparently had a troubled childhood police, found $100.00 bullets in a raid at his apartment, his friends and his former girlfriend say they had no idea of what he was going to do, or why he did it he has refused to testify to lance, head to the poles on sunday for a historic vote on whether or not to replace their constitution with one seen as much more progressive. but the issue has divided the country and polls suggest a tight outcome. how latin america it. it hurt lucy newman reports from santiago for the 1st time. every chilion over the age of 18 will be able to weigh in on a new road map for their future. like most constitutions, chili's, new draft,

charter was worn out of upheaval. millions of chileans, disenchanted with their institutions and decades of social inequality, launched an unprecedented social uprising. 3 years ago. peace was, we established when nearly 80 percent of citizens voted to do away with what many saw as the roof of all evil, the dictatorship era constitution. you're going to get the little processor to learn, not have it. i think the great merit at the chile and process was to have transformed a very disruptive moment that threatened to destroy our institutional order and turn it into a democratic constitutional solution. so the result is a draft charter which, if approved in today's referendum, would harold a new political, social, and economic europe for this country. september 4th marks another extremely significant election at gillian history. and they are both connected. 52 years ago . somebody in there was voted in as the world's 1st democratically annette did

wanting to sit and know that it constitutions cannot be left or right. they have to represent the people's interest regardless of ideology. that's, that's why those who vote against the constitution are demanding the process start all over again. it's like baking a cake. if the cake comes out flat and it's burned, you don't try to fix it. or you can cry, but it will never be a good kick. so you start away. even supporters agree that the new charger must be improved, suggesting that whatever the outcome chili's constitutional process isn't over yet . to see in human al jazeera santiago, pakistan's prime minister has convened a committee to coordinate relief if it's an area is devastated by flooding. more than a 3rd of the country is under water and an estimated 33000000 people have been affected . the death toll has risen to at least 1265 weeks of record monsoon. ryans
