ah. as lose chance to go through steps in downing street is quite minister who focuses on reassuring the nation. things come get better. we now face the big global headwinds caused by russia's appalling war in ukraine and the aftermath of cove. it now is the time to tackle the issues that are holding britain back. we need to build roads, homes, and broadband hosta. we need more investment and great jumps in every town and city across our country. we need to reduce the bad and on families and help people get on a life. of course, the pressing issue is helping people cope with huge energy price rises on that she says she understands the urgency. i will take action this week to deal with energy bells and to secure all future energy supply. but she repeated her commitment to

cutting taxes as a way of driving economic growth. trust started today flying to scotland, where she met queen elizabeth at her bow moral estate. she was formerly appointed after the monarch received the outgoing prime minister's resignation. before he threw north maurice johnson and his wife, carrie said good bye to stop at 10 downing street. it was partly the party in here that led to so many of his own impedes turning against him. his departing speech didn't reference any covert rule breaking, but rules did come up when he talked about the end of his premier ship. the baton will be handed over in waters, unexpectedly turned out to be a relay race. they changed the rules half way through, but never mind that now. johnson did promise to support least trust every step of the way, urging his party to unite after a damaging leadership contest apart from telling supporters what his government had

achieved. johnson did briefly mention the financial stress facing millions of households. the sunlit uplands of the british economy currently shrouded in fork, and the calls on the new prime minister to offer some glimmers of light are getting louder. you need to look at the world as it is rather than the world that you'd like it to be and then you need to respond. and the big message for me is trickle down. economics does not work. the last 15 years has shown us that because he caught me, has granite points. the cake has got bigger, but what's happened is that those are the top of taken more. and the majority of people have not benefited less trust or want to offer her own vision of britain as it faces, economic and existential crises. but she must also show the public. she's able to be pragmatic and take steps to stop millions of people slipping into poverty. the challenge is immense. nadine barbara, al jazeera london and you should enjoy this life and that westminster and central.

and so how i send you by mr. speech received well, the general feeling was, will certainly here have mainly supporters of just really an atmosphere of a joy if you will. they were all applauding and on sharing and so on and so forth. as for the rest of the country, there's a lot of cynicism about the conservative party right now because of the mess the economies in as, as we heard in that report. absolutely critical situation. so the jury is out on this new prime minister. there's no doubt about it. let's trust, did outline a number of things and relied on the real theme that the british had true grit, and they would whether this storm i'm, whether that's going to be enough along with all of her risks in sheet she's taking at, with the economy with they're going for growing that economy and not going for an increase taxation,

but quite the reverse tax cuts remains to be seen. so the cabinet has to be one of loyalists, has no doubt about it. she needs that because she's got thin support here in parliament, cross road in parliament shall i say, and also only 57 percent supported her in the leadership election in the membership of the conservative party. so this is the way it's going at the moment dominic rob, who was the deputy prime minister, is the 1st to go. he had backed her rifle a re she soon act. and of course that was one aspect. furthermore, he had announced that she would be committing electoral suicide with her plan for tax, or quasi, or cotton is going to be the new chancellor key figure in all of this, a man who gets on with her incredibly well. they're both got financial backgrounds of course, and she was in a car that was a and

a chartered accountants before becoming a politician. also a member of the liberal democrat party. when she was oxford university, and james cleverly, i was the education secretary. he gets promotion to the foreign secretary now and we have so on the brother men, another good ally of list trust becoming home secretary, so she replaces pretty patel who resigned on monday. i had it being pushed and done . so they, we have it to reis coffee. i'm is going to be the health secretary and george interrupter, let's take you straight to the un security council. it's telling open meeting on the situation at the is upper is yet nuclear power plant. this is ninteenth antiques, general now electrical energy agency and the mission led by director general grossi for their efforts and for their courage meet the more eagerly allow me also to the sankey, the, for the parties, for their cooperation. now will of course,

leave it up to the director general grosse i presented with him in a cmo able to observe. during their stay there. the secretary of the united nations has proudly supported the i a in it's essential mission named at ensuring the safety of the operation of the nuclear power plant. i would like to personally thank all the colleagues su, assisted them, and in particular, the, the 13 experts from you and secretariat in charge of support and security and safety who played a key role in order to allow the i mission to deploy it successfully. students. i would remain gravely concerned about the situation in and around as our bodies. you're blan, including reports of recent, showing. let's tell it like it is any damage whether intentional or not to europe's largest nuclear power. plantings upwards year or 20 other nuclear

facility in ukraine could spell catastrophe, not only for the immediate vicinity, but for the region and beyond. all steps must be taken to avoid such a scenario. common sense and corporation must guide the way forwards. any action that to my to endanger the physical integrity, safety, or security of the nuclear plant is an acceptable all efforts to establish the plant as purely civilian infrastructure are vital. as the 1st step, russian and ukrainian forces must commit not to engage in any military activity. the wards, the plant site or from the plant site is up. what is the facility and the surroundings must not be at targets on a platform for military operations. is a 2nd step. an agreement on a demilitarized perimeter should be secured. specifically, that will include the commitment by russian forces to withdraw all military

personnel and equipment from that perimeter. and the commitment by ukrainian forces not to move into its operators at the plant must be able to carry out their responsibilities. and communications must be maintained. now is the time to urgently agree on concrete measures to ensure the safety of the area. mr. president's regrettably last month's, the 10 city view conference of the parties stood at 3 t on the non proliferation of nuclear weapons fell victim to the war in ukraine. the outcome document sought to address the issue of the safety and security of nuclear power plants in aden's conflict zones, including in ukraine. but the confidence failed to reach consensus to utilize the opportunity those threats and the 3 d. i appealed to all states to use every avenue of dialogue and diplomacy to make progress on this critical issues. mister

president, looking ahead, i trust that the i 8 experts now the blight to supported sir will be able to carry out their work without insurance and country will to ensuring blasting nuclear safety and security in the plans. olivers have a stake in the success of their critical mission that thus commit to do everything we can to support them and let us resolve to keep working for peace in line with international law and the united nations charter. thank you. sure m f c. i thank you cetera, general 1st introductory remarks, and i know give the floor to mr. refill marianna grossi a. mr. president's a pleasure for me to address the security council for the 3rd time this year regarding the situation. ukraine particular pleasure to do it under the french

presidency. and i also want to thank the secretary general of his presence amounts are said to day. and as he was referring in his remarks to the likable lab work that the u. n. g for which personnel to are you bored to mission by being are with them for a few days and sharing some very tennis that moment. i could see there, they are iraq vacation and the motion to the cause of the united nations. they do it. imagine secretary general, we will continue, i hope, working together to bring stability to the new care facilities in ukraine. so today you may have seen that i issued and comprehensive report emanating from the mission. i had the honor to lead last week in the,

in ukraine and the visit with a nuclear power that these mission has been the result of painstaking effort of close to 6 months in which streams efforts were deployed to try to do just that to would be there with our inspectors to address, compete comprehensive report of education to corroborate some facts that we have been observing for the last 6 months, but not stop there. and, and to also provide very, very concrete recommendations based upon what we saw at the plat. the 1st important the safety a better and that exists a nearly nuclear facility is not to violate its physical integrity. and unfortunately,

and as i had the opportunity to say also during the briefing that took place on urban august 11th and the, the chinese presidency. this has happened, this happen and this continues to happen. their physical attack, wittingly or unwittingly, or the hits that this facility has received. and that i could personally see and assess together with my expert is simply an acceptable. we are playing with fire and something very, very catastrophic, couldn't take place. this is why in our report, we are proposing the establishing the establishment, sorry, of a nuclear safety and security protection zone limited to their benita and

that blank itself. i am going to return to this point later on the 2nd biller that is important and stays there on safety and security systems and equipment should operate normally and hindered and be fully functional. or we know, and we observe that the operators at the blank were operating under extremely challenging circumstances and, and together with military equipment and, and air vehicles and in different bites of it. our concrete recommendation. these regard is that the military vehicles and equipment that are currently bred it in buildings inside the buildings on this side be removed so as not to interfere with normal operation of the nuclear safety and security

system. the 3rd beer states that the operating staff must be able to perform their duties, we without and you pressures or difficult stances. and of course, this is something that, as you know, has been addressed time and again during this crisis. and especially since the nuclear power plant was occupied last march. so we could see we could work together alongside the experts. and we can of course, to the conclusion, which is in the recommendation specific recommendation in my report that the operator should be allowed to return to its clear and routine line of responsibilities and authorities. appropriate work environment must be re established, including with proper family support for the staff. number 4 is the one that

refers to the upside power supply. i also referred to these in the past, and that's, you know, this is crucially important in the sense that a nuclear power plant without external power supply may lose crucial functionalities including the cooling of their reactors and the spent fuel. without these, we could have a very serious accident. so regarding this, the i a requirements that the all site power supply, line redundancy be reestablished and available at any time for these to be possible that may affect the power supplied systems not be stopped immediately. the feed states

that there must be an interrupted logistical supply chains and transportation to and from the site. you have to imagine that these nuclear power plant as the 2nd to get out it was rightly reminded us the biggest in europe is a large industrial site requiring a constant flow of spat, body, and other equipment situations, of course, to wrap it now in, in our recommendations in these regard, all the older parties should uncompleted, ensuring affected supply change. i mean, between god we would like to remind that would be a assistance and support programs that we applied. for example, each are noble and flow of life has been earned significantly established and

a similar mechanism could be applied in as operator. the 6 peter urban is the one that refers to the functioning of the radiation monitoring system systems to know what is your vision and whether that he's radiation in the atmosphere. we do have a set of networks of monitoring equipment that have been affected at the concrete and 6 recommendation in our board indicates that the site should continue ensuring this functionality including by trees and exercises where which i can help air in assuring. and the 7th and final builder states that there must be continued and reliable communications

with the regulator with ukrainian regulator. as we we have seen repeatedly that these lines of communication have been interrupted. so the i 8 ligaments in its 7th recommendation corresponding to each one of the 7 dealers of the safety and security. that reliable and redundant communication means and channels the secure at all. dat and the are gleick at mr. president and the mission that took place last week, a historic one indeed. and has provided us and the international community with a precious instrument in the presence of an i. e. a assessment and monitoring mission that could provide or as own today with that comprehensive report that provides a neutral partial and technical reading of the situation. but moreover,

which is also a enormous value is the fact that an inspector is of the i. e have remained at the site, so at the moment the i. e, and through it, united nation is an international community, have the capacity to have a direct, immediate evaluation of their situation on the ground as it may be the case as it may happen. and these fact is unprecedented in the bass. ladies and gentlemen, when i e, a inspectors where in places which had a difficult urban either gone difficult circumstances, light to login or she that or even i'm called the light iraq. it has always been after the fact,

it has always been to be got the pieces to me dig remedied what had already happened. we in this case have the historical ethical imperative to prevent something from happening. and by having established these presence and by agree. ready to our special ed safety and security protection. so we will be able, we have the opportunity to prevent these from happening. as it is stated in their report. we are ready to go out quickly with about these. we believe that these measure which you can see there an injury measure in the hope that other more comprehensive measures are more effective nature in the context of the conflict which is not the rental fee naturally could be agreed. but this is something that can be done. now we have spectres, they have already flowed,

doing the work. we can agree on a very simple, but incredibly necessary protective mechanism to what is happening now as we speak, which is the shelling of a nuclear power plant. let's sees these opportunity so and a mental for bees for security and to protect the populations of ukraine and beyond. i thank you very much, mr. president. even listening to raphael brought that ahead to you and to make watchdog the i. e. a. outlining his recommendations after his visit to the parisha, the nuclear power plant in ukraine, which is russian held but operated by ukrainians. we had earlier from the you and nate and new united nations head and tony baterri sh. backing the recommendation

for a deal on a demilitarized perimeter around is parisha. and we've also heard from grossi himself that the 2 sides are playing with fire given there are physical attacks on a nuclear facility, and something catastrophic could have for us. bringing on diplomatic editor james space is a james, some concrete proposals, one of which seems to be this idea of a demilitarized perimeter. tell more about what you make of the recommendations. well, we don't have a great deal of detail of how that would work. it sounds like it is just the plant itself, the parameter of the plans that will be the militarized zone. and as you heard that from the head of the a currently inside that zone there is russian military equipment, motion, military vehicles. he wants, all of them moved out. he wants an undertaking by the ukrainians that they would move anything in to that demilitarized zone. he said it was a simple but could be very effective. protective mechanism could be put in place if

of course, the 2 parties agree to it. and he said, the current situation can't really continue. he's described the violation of the physical integrity of what is your biggest nuclear power plant. he said this has happened and it continues to happen. he said that it was unacceptable, and they were playing with the pot. he also made it clear, but the staff who continue to work the ukrainian staff who continue to work in that power station, although it's controlled militarily. but the russians are working in extremely challenging circumstances. he said, under the eyes rules, they're not supposed to be subject to undo pressures, but he made it clear, i think that they are subject to undo precious. so he's put a clear proposal on the table and it's been strongly backed by the un secretary general. how are the 2 parties going to respond? we'll have to listen as this security council meeting, continues the russian ambassador speaking now, and we'll be hearing later in the meeting from the ukrainian at bassett. i came to

say thank you very much. indeed. labor is under jones's live from keith, and i think you got some more information about an offensiveness call. keep. tell us about that. yeah, that's right. for about the last week or so. the world's attention has really been focused on this ukranian counter offensive in the south. they have soon, however, on tuesday, the ukrainians have launched a counter offensive in the northeast in the region of how keith. this is important for many reasons, but number one is this came is a little bit of a surprise. so the cranes were not telegraphing this, as they did with their counter offensive in the south. they have some, this is one that for the most part, nobody was expecting, it appears to have caught the russians a little bit off guard. and this is an important counter offensive in how key

because how to keep is pre war population of just under 2000000 people, 2nd largest city in ukraine. it's always been held by the ukrainians. however, there has been showing of the city and around the area by the russians with increased frequent frequency over the last several weeks. incredible. fighting around how to keys in the last few weeks, it now appears that the ukrainians are counter offensive making mean they're leaving their, their defensive positions. and going after the front lines that the russians have been holding outside of how to cave, to the east and to the south. in fact, there's an important city, balak k kia, just south east of her keith, which has been held by the russians. it's a city of about $25000.00 people, so it's not a village, it's, it's a small city. it's an important supply line city for the russians and it appears

based on what we're seeing on telegram and other open source media that there is a fierce fighting in that town. and that the craniums are making a strong push this evening to try to retake it. so this is now an open counter offensive by the ukrainians on dozens of kilometers in the north east of the country. this now signals that the ukrainians not only have one counter offensive in the south, but now have a 2nd one in the northeast as well. cameras from there, thank you very much indeed. return to listening to the russian ambassador to you in talking about 2 developments are on the zipper as your account meters away from energy unit number one of the n p people and vis you way of activity was a direct threat to live life and the safety of inspectors going by that was not all

the key of regime continued where they are heinous, provocation tried to take lee exc istation over by fours right before i arrive on at 6 am on the 1st of september through the kafka water reservoir. com. but saboteurs were directions themselves towards this station. you to create the impression that the armed forces of ukraine were successful, so as to help body zalinski regime beg for more armaments and they conducted armed hostilities around the station. this could undermine the critically a, the a stance is stations integrity in case that had been a successful rafael grosse and the team would have become the human shield of the cranium saboteurs. this was moved. this was stopped thanks to the russian armed forces than the russian guards forces and the vigilance of the locals. you. as a result, the meeting between the representative of the russian federation that i took place

only at noon of 4 hours later than planned webpage tribute to the courage of the agency representative their, their readiness to work literally under fire. ukrainian fire would like to ask you, director general, what was the impact on your work or all of the attempt to buy ukrainian armed forces to abort to the mission? how can you comment upon of these activities by the ukrainians side, in the context of threats to safety and security of the station and the safety of the edges? his staff? i would like to address a similar question to the secretary general. the d. s. s. in the u. n. d s. s, a staff were part of the i a missions and they were dealing with the issues of safety and security. a was a duty to assess a situation. no, and no of all everything that could create a risk for it. what do you or staff talk about the risks that were created for the mission by the.
