we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on al jazeera bolts, journalism, the police violently dispersing price. with these a sort of a book, tens of thousands of people try to flee. gobble inspired to program, making welcome to generation chains, unrivalled broadcasting. white people did not want black children in the schools. we have to fight for it and al jazeera english proud recipient of the new york festivals broadcast year of the year award for the 6 year running ah, to. ready the or nuclear watchdog holds for a securities own around ukraine zachary, to a power plant which is controlled by russian forces.

ah, and other more a kyle, this is al jazeera, alive from doha. also coming up, let's trust, replaces boys johnson as u. k prime minister. but faces am needed domestic and international challenges. i am confident that together we can ride out the storm and efforts on to prevent pakistan's lake man char from bursting its banks flood, waters release and thousands of move to safer ground. ah, your nuclear watchdog says the situation of the russian controlled zapper each a nuclear plant in ukraine is unsustainable. both sides accuse each other of shelling the plant. the i am calling for an immediate security zone to be set up around the station, which is europe's largest, that our board also recommends that conditions be,

improve ukrainian staff operating the plant, expert se work is needed to repair damage to buildings that housed nuclear fuel. and radioactive waste. the plant in the southern city of anna hold are usually generates around half of ukraine's nuclear power. but it's acts height on the risk of damage to its electricity grid. under the worst case scenario, explosions could destroy the plant, so called react containment structure. that would allow highly radiation levels to escape into the atmosphere, making nearby areas dangerous to live in for decades. of the head of the you and nuclear watchdog reported his findings to the security council. are the magic as to james base has this report having just led a mission by a team of inspectors to the czar for each see a nuclear power plant. a place that's been shelled repeatedly the head of the i. e . a spoke to the security council about his findings in the current situation, he said was dangerous and untenable. their physical attack,

wittingly or unwittingly, the hits that this facility has received and that i could personally see and assess together with my experts is simply an acceptable. we are playing with fire and something very, very catastrophic could take place. he's now proposing a demilitarized protection zone rounds, aperture, the largest nuclear power plant in europe. it's a proposal that is also strongly backed by the un secretary general, an agreement on a limited that i study matter 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 didn't have both ukrainian and the russian ambassadors spoke in the meeting, each blaming the other for the shelling of the plant. after the security council

meeting, i asked rushes ambassador about the proposal for the demilitarized zone. i want to know all the details. same is here. i don't know. do not know what sir, director, general grocery and square that up to what extent that will improve the safety of was physical and nuclear safety of the plant. the proposal for the military zone was supported by most members of the security council, but russia and ukraine both said they wanted more details. it's clear much more diplomacy and persuasion will be needed if this idea is ever to be turned into reality. james bay's al jazeera at the united nations as met in at mass cathy as a professor of several and environmental engineering at the university of southern california and specializes in nuclear safety. he told me the situation is very wiring. this proposal for demilitarize security zone was floated by

secretary general. if you are missing just almost a month ago when he was visiting the hero, she might japan, and then russia flatly rejected that it was raised before. after a few more times, you remember that this was the 3rd meeting of un security cancer in the last month and a half. and i do not think that russia will accept that because what is happening at supper? sure, since they're a patient of russia has been unbelievable. first of all, there is shelling there. shelling can attack or can cause damage to the spent fuel pool, which are not protected are not on there to contain mental, what it can affect all aspect of the physical infrastructure of the plan which causes a lot of hazard. the other thing that this patient has done, and this has been mentioned, this is that are a report that was released today based on their heroic mission. last is the state

of the staff and the mental status of this stuff. there are some boards over here by reading between the lines of this report, not only the lines which is very scary for me. i've been in the area of nuclear safety research for last 35 years on believable pressure that the operating staff are subject to constant high stress friction when it comes to decision making the russian all players coach under extremely stressful condition. while under control of russian troops, these are all unfortunately the recipe for disaster. rather he's now and by says that new prime insolence process started pointing senior members of a cabinet after taking it from bar thompson on tuesday to address the nation. promising to tackle the cost of living crisis and rebuild the economy and a bother reports from london.

as loose trust took a 1st steps in downing street as prime minister. her focus was on reassuring the nation. things can get better we now face a big label. headwinds caused by rushes of pulling more in ukraine and the aftermath of k that now is the time to tackle the issues that are holding britain back. we need to build roads, homes, and broadband pasta. we need more investments and great jobs in every town and city across our country. we need to reduce the bad and on families and help people get on in 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 vitalia flying to scotland, where she met queen elizabeth had her bow moral estate. she was formerly appointed after the monarch received the outgoing prime ministers resignation. before he threw north maurice johnson and his wife carry said good bye to stop at 10 downing street. it was partly the party in here that led to so many of his own in peace. turning against him, his departing speech didn't reference any coven rule breaking. but rules did come up when he talked about the end of his premier ship. the baton will be handed over in what is 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, a currently shrouded in folk, and the calls on the new prime minister to offer some glimpse 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 will want to offer her own vision of britain as it phrases, economic and ex, essential 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 his trust has assembled a diverse cabinet that includes britons fast, black finance, and foreign ministers. and to simmons has more from downing street. less trust has

to hit the ground running with relief, a millions of families all over the u. k. facing crippling energy bills as from january triple the cost, she's going to put together some sort of plan to freeze those bills. it will cost billions of dollars for now. she's hiring and firing. one of the 1st to go was dominic rob, who was deputy prime minister in the last government. he was a supporter for which he, sooner and not only that, he described the tax plans and his trust as intellectual suicide, quasi quite sang. he's going to be appointed chancellor of the finance ministry of the u. k. he's a key ally and he's also sharing the ideologies of less trust in growing the economy and cutting taxes. james cleverly is the current education secretary in the last government and he will be promoted to foreign secretary dealing with russia's

invasion of ukraine and the european union. there major issues, he'll face sweller. barava mon is going to be home secretary, the interior minister. she will be dealing with a host of internal issues, domestic issues. the key point to these appointments is that list trust needs, loyalist around her, lots of warrantless and she needs to for that good will from within the cabinet to permeate through the party. and through the membership of the conservative party because she is a bit of a lonely figure right now. well, let's bring in feathery gear bendy. she's a professor of political science at the university of rome, tova gas, as she joins us from boulder, colorado in the us. thanks so much for being with us, said maurice johnson. the former prime minister was not much of a favorite in washington. how might a special u. s. u k relationship develop now one to live truss. so when she 1st

met blink, and because remember she was foreign minister last i my understanding is that they didn't really go well. den, now that they're not part of the european union anymore, british are keen to revive the special relationship, but with the u. s. and on the one side they, us definitely needs the help of the u. k. on the war on a train. on the other side, biden has made clear since the beginning that he will protect ireland. and this is one, obey key issues in the negotiation, action negotiation that miss trust, missus trust actually led a of what did the you k wants to renegotiate with the european union, so they are in a catch 22 position if you may. oh, it was a couple of points or the 1st one i want to bring up is that meeting with i think it was actually been can. when she said this child said when she was foreign secretary,

she asked what was so special about the special relationship that she seemed few tangible examples of it. was that a fair point? no, i don't think it's a fair point. it, sir. there is indeed a special relationship between the 2 countries. air and the day you k is usually consulted before any other ally. this was one of the points of friction when the u . k. was part of european union. so there is indeed this, but there's a special relationship at the, at the level of intelligence, media, tory, and so on and so forth. and i think she was being provocative. and she wanted more, but this support of the u. k. where she wants it on the negotiation with european union, she's not likely oh, get it a distillate more about the issue over the northern on protocol because we've seen this trust but heads with nancy pelosi over this. what is at stake here? what is the issue? so basically, as you know,

one of the reasons why the civil war could and in ireland and, and the peace treaty could be signed. it was that at the point at the time in the, in an early 99th is both countries were part of european communities and later became your and union. so that made it possible not to have border to have a self border, no border between north and, and, and north knight on andrea island because they were both part of the of the european group is and is especially the case with the of their pin union with a, with a single single market and that these border aids it's, it's crucial because if you re closed the border one way or the other, then the peace treaty reach to collapse. right? so there, but there, there is a lot of and yes, the is a, it's a very complicated issue that the u. the u. k. is negotiating or dealing with with

the e. u. why is it of interest to the us? because biden is very proud of his irish roots. so he had the 1st phone call the ever made when he became president of united states was to that 1000. it's it, the really his heritage. so ireland is something he'd really cares about. and, and he also cares about that the european union, you know, the opinion is bracing for a difficult winter, a because they full of the us on the sanctions and on the war. and he hint shan't let the europeans down. so i stifled for him and is difficult for you. okay, is difficult for park is in bold and old. so of course, this is the massey, mack matter between the u. k and, and d u. so it's, it's a complicated issue, but so one on we, she has negotiated in the last months and this ross and,

and joe biden, they bally know, till they haven't had many opportunities to meet. when will they get a chance to meet and what might that personal relationship like? by that is a very warm person, a staunch democrat, proud to be progressive, catholic, irish. and so he, we alike and expect him to treat her with law in a very nice way at the beginning whether she reacts at the same level. i don't know, we really don't know much about her of the personal level to be very frank. that's going to be interesting to watch and see how the relationship develops. federico bindy, thank you very much. taking time to join us that from colorado. thank you for having me. still had hair on al jazeera. oh, we hear from
