hello clark. this is al jazeera life from don't are also coming up. liz trust replaces for as johnson as u. k prime minister, but faces immediate domestic and international challenges. chillies president gabriel burridge finance, his 1st cabinet, re shuffle more white could upset his political base plus preventing pakistan's like men, char from bursting its banks, excess waters released thousands of moved to safe ground. ah, so the you and nuclear watchdog says the situation that the russian controlled supp reach a nuclear plant and ukraine is unsustainable. both sides accused accused each other of shelling the plants, the i. e. a is calling for an immediate security zone to be set up around the station, which is europe's largest or port altar recommends that conditions be improved for

ukrainian staff. operating about experts say work is needed to repair damage to building at house nuclear, fuel and radioactive waste. plant which is in, in the southern city of n, a hodder usually generates around half of ukraine's nuclear power. but the tax heightened the risk of damage to its electricity grid. under the worst case scenario. explosions could destroy the plant, so called reactor containment structure. that would allow high radiation levels to escape into the atmosphere making nearby areas dangerous to live in for decades. i'll the head of the you and nuclear watchdog has presented his find these to the security council. our diplomatic editor james base has this report. having just led a mission by a team of inspectors to the zap, ritchie, a nuclear power plant, a place that's been shelled repeatedly the head of the i h. e. a spoke to the security council about his findings. 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's all so strongly backed by the un secretary general, an agreement on eliminate that iceberg emitter 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 the ukrainian and the russian ambassadors spoken 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 the details. same as here. i don't know. do not know what sir, director general grosser means. play that. to what extent that will improve the safety voss 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. when i committed nat mascot, he is a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the university of southern california. and specializes in nuclear safety. he told us the situation is very worry. this proposal for demilitarised security zone was floated by

secretary general, a few emerson, which years almost a month ago when he was visiting a 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 that, for 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 or not under the containment. do 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 a report that was released today based on their heroic mission. last is the state

of the staff and the mental status of the staff. there are some boards over here by reading the theme, 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 occupiers coach under extremely stressful conditions, while under control of russian troops. these are all unfortunately recipe for disaster. european countries are scrambling to find alternative energy sources off to russia, shot down a crucial gas pipeline to the continent. the french president, mental macro, judging households to limit the use of gas and electricity. and also said he may consider force to energy savings if the voluntary measures and not sufficient. a

monday germany announced it will keep 2 of its remaining nuclear power stations on standby to try and battle the energy crisis. dominant cane has more from berlin. it's called a few strengths from a european perspective to the energy crisis as it presents itself today. we know that from the institutions perspective, that the check presidency, 6 month, rotating presidency, which the checks have right now is putting forward a draft document which you to look at the idea of placing caps on the price of gas that would be brought into the e u from whatever source. and we know also that the spanish government is saying that they understand that there is the talk about the possibility of capping the amount of gas being brought in either piped in from russia or indeed brought in on boats that would be liquefied natural gas. we know that the spanish government says it has been bringing more l n g from russia over the course of this summer. so that's being discussed, this idea of price caps at the u level. we know separately that in finland,

for example, the authorities there have said that they are going to boost the amount of power, the amount of output coming from their nuclear reactors. remembering that nuclear provides around a 3rd of all finish energy. so lots of different strands of the european level today. meanwhile, china has announced it will stop paying for gas from russia and us dollars and will switch to roubles new on. instead, the agreement with another sign of stronger ties between the allies off the western post sanctions on russia for its war in ukraine. britain, the prime minister, las trusses started appointing senior members of her cabin itself to take care of the forest johnson. on tuesday, she destination promising to tackle the cost of living crisis and rebuild the economy and above reports from london. ah, as loose trust took her 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, pulling war 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 investment 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 the 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 off teacher energy supply. but she repeated her commitment to cutting taxes as a way of driving economic growth. trust started with a flying to scotland, where she met queen elizabeth had her bow moral estate. she was formerly appointed

off to the monarch received the outgoing prime ministers 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. was 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 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 glimmers of light are getting

louder. you need to look at the world as it is rather in 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 economy has granite points, the cake has got bigger. but what's happened is that those are the top of taken law and the majority of people have not benefited this choice will want to offer her own vision of britain as it phrases, 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, well is trust as assembly diverse cabinet that includes britons 1st, black finance and foreign ministers, and your sentences more from dining street. less trust has to hit the ground running with relief, 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 bells. 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 richie sooner. and not only that, he described the tax plans and his trust as electoral suicide, quasi quite sang. he's going to be appointed chancellor as the finance minister of the u. k. he's a key ally and he's also sharing the ideologies of live trust in growing the economy and cutting taxes. james cleverly. it 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. brothman 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 loyalists. 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. so hey, there are now to 0. the taps are running again in jackson, mississippi after more than a week, but will tell you why the water crisis is far from over. ah. with right humid and quiet and still quite hot were described. the weather on the gull stage is typical for this time. the year, the edge the monsoon still catching salah, so that is drizzly and cloudy in the showers enhance down the higher ground of

saudi arabian time. towards the western side of yemen, in land is hot and dry. that on shore breeze, the egypt will bring temperatures down as they have done. i think the western event as well, but in iraq it's still hot and inherited. we're talking about temperatures approaching their record high values. this has been a whole hot area right up towards the nodes, but of course cars, except as you can see, the winds coming down. so normally, so the change is taking place with shaft coming back to into northern turkey as well. nothing much changes dramatically during thursdays a bit more of the same. it's the detail that changes a little bit. the trough glass to cut the reins of picking up once more. we've had some flooding in northern uganda. we've had flooding elsewhere in the sale, for example, and jemina. this rain is described as the worst in decades. it's certainly pretty bad. it's not just in child. i mean, we'd happening in south to dallas with happening uganda and in kenya, this is supposed to be the short right season. but as you can see,

pretty wide spread with the forecast rains as far south as narrow b or beyond. ah, with the new voice a heating up the airway. lot of chinese listen actually. kimberly here, but i really think in their own country shifting palate a case, the rise of citizen journalism has changed everything. how did happen? it happened on social media and the undeniable impact of the mainstream narrative australians went to the pole with those images front of mine is a war that is very much going forth out in the media as well on the battlefield. they're listening page. dissect the media on al jazeera lou. ah,

daniel watching out 0 or one of our top stories this out and you, you to watch don't warns the situation that the russian control was upper region nuclear power fountain. ukraine is unsustainable. i. e a has asked for the creation of a safety zone around the pot to prevent further damage on her 1st days. prisons prime minister lids truss has promised to tackle the cost of living crisis and to rebuild the economy. and she's replaced many of the top figures in burst. johnson's come a relief and rescue operation is ongoing in the southern indian city bank, our roof after days of torrential rain. the city regarded as a hub for tech companies was hit hard by monsoon rains and flooding. on sir, that began on sunday, the deluge is lead traffic calles drinking water shortages in the flooding of many properties. which rogers say that in the 1st week of august, burglary received over 400 percent of the average rainfall for the same period,

escrow straightaway to bengal room 5 with poverty metal poverty. so tell us more about what's around the water's still up and says in rainfall has inundated costs of bengal to ruin. we are in one of the was affected areas. now the city is an id hub in, in general, also across the globe. i mean, this neighborhood houses some of the biggest id companies, including a regional headquarters of companies like amazon offices of adobe, in many of the stops. it's also where many of these high ranking a professionals live. in fact, this world that you're seeing flooded behind me leads up to one of the most expensive real estate, multi 1000000 dollar homes and villas. and people here have been leaving in droves . they have been on tractors and bought some of those people who have checked to nearby hotels. so prices of those hotel rooms have skyrocketed. many of the schools

in this area are shut. not stitch white, there is been heavy rainfall, water levels here have receded. but the state is racing for ways to continue and for the situation to remain as bad as it is. there is a lot of traffic on the road as people are trying to commute to work. people are trying to leave a prostate. the debt door has now reached 9 public floods, not uncommon in the region, are the not plans in place to try and do you know, questions are now being raised once again about the infrastructure and up and planning of one of in just most develop cities. you know, this area is disproportionately affected, we were driving through the city and over there, there are some areas that have water logging up. there is a lot of traffic,

but nothing like what you're seeing over here. and the answer is simple. it is bad drainage. this area is home to many, many lakes set up critical to training excess water in situations like these. but over the years there has been a lot of construction, illegal construction and encroachment. in fact, many of the buildings that you can see around me are blocking that drainage system, which is why when you have a situation like this. and experts do say that because of climate change, weather patterns are changing in south asia, particularly in india and brands like these can be expected over the coming years. the water has no way to go except well on the roads and into people's homes. or it probably will leave it there for the moment. thanks very much. data already been reporting there from bigler, but more flooding is expected in southern pakistan with the force drainage of water from the country's largest lake. engineers have cut through the embankments of like

my child to reduce the volume of water, but it's threatening to flip properties downstream. dozens of villages, lime is path, and heavy rain has damaged the unesco wild hershey site in pakistan. several walls in the ancient city of manager data have collapsed, who built nearly 5000 years ago into darrow is one of the best preserved oven settlements in south asia. archaeologists and construct workers are repairing the damage to people that have died and thousands of been ordered to evacuate because of a wild, foreign southern california. several buildings have been destroyed in the fair view area. south east of los angeles far has been fueled by high temperatures and extremely dry conditions, extreme heat that hit california, as well as part of neighboring arizona, and nevada is forecast to continue to til around thursday the most powerful typhoon to hit south korea and yes is killed at least 6 people from bright and simple hung where the typhoon calls the most casualties. tells us more about the

aftermath of the store. the city of how hang on the south korea's east coast. this is where the major clean up is happening because this is where the most damage occurred with the most rainfall. the typhoon had act with that to the a passing po hanger was actually back out at sea again that when he went past here . but because it was out at sea, in these warm water separating the korean peninsula from japan, it was once more it seems being replenished, gathering the amount of moisture that it was dumping back on the coastline. so even though it was moving north, this part of the coastline and po hand got something like $400.00 millimeters of water during the typhoon. this one district of this city, it's called the nam district. this recorded 100 millimeters in just one hour. so that's what led to the inundation of rad roads of buildings. here, there is a marine corps unit here based in po, hang. you can see them out of taking part in this clean up operation. they were

actually deployed where that at the height of the storm, with amphibious vehicles to rescue people from the street. it's also because of the amount of boise here rising so quickly where we've seen sadly as of the most of the fatalities, including among a group of people it seems that were caught in an underground car park trying to retrieve their vehicles and simply got caught out by the speed of these rising waters, the pentagon says that russia wants north korea to supplied with ammunition for the war and ukraine. u. s. officials, it demonstrates how western sanctions are limiting moscow's ability to replace vehicles and weapons destroyed during months of conflict. russia has approached north korea to request ammunition. i am not able to provide any more detail than that at this point in time. but it does demonstrate it is indicative of the situation that russia finds itself in, in terms of its logistics and sustainment capabilities as it relates to ukraine. certainly, as has been said, we,

we assess that things are not going well on that front for russia. so the fact that they're reaching out to north korea is assigned that, that they're having some challenges on the sustainment front. within out from mason, richie who is associate professor of international politics at hon. cook, university of foreign studies. he says it's unclear exactly how much ammunition rusher is looking for from pyongyang. we've heard a very large number come up from the pentagon spokesman, you're talking about millions of shells, millions replacement van munition. i think one of the really interesting questions that we might get some ideas how big north curious stocks are and how much is willing to deliver, given that its own military strategy requires new math fires. which means in theory, would want to have relatively large number of years. but north korea does have a very large military industry does have a lot of shelter, presumably a could provide a sufficient or at least

a significant number of ammunition and show to russia. it looks like this is indicative of the fact that russia is having some difficulty with sustainment, again, as, depending on put it. if this report is accurate. the british intelligence services estimated that russia has used as much of as a 3rd of its artillery shells and is now turning to older soviet era models. we also know that russia's howitzers, for instance, you know, are going to need re boring and replacement, some refurbishment. and then as for suppliers, you know, again, that's also potentially an issue. you know, with sanctions, you know, we know that russia seemingly turn to iran for drones and with the squeeze, put on financing and the ability for russia to make payments. so that might be playing a role in the story as well. left as a chilean present, gabrielle borage has announced a cabinet reshuffling. corporate members of the traditional centre left just days

after constitutional referendum, he championed faced the crushing defeat. the move could alienate members of his political base. our latin america editor, lucy newman, reports that from santiago this is saying that you don't really know you're in charge until you have to fire people you care for in the wake of sundays constitutional referendum defeat president w l. buddage had to do just that. it was under, might be going to cabinet changes have always been dramatic, and she lay in this one has its fair share. it's been painful but necessary and i won't hide it. i think that this is one of the hardest political moments i've ever faced. interior minister escape cities was replaced by catalina law, the daughter of an emblematic interior minister under former president, salvador allende, who was overthrown in 1973 military. cool. more difficult still was the removal of cabinet minister george jackson. what it is confidant and right hand man. together

they began fighting to transform chile, a student leaders in 2011, forming a new generation of politicians. later they were inseparable as congressional allies. now, jackson, who was unable to work well with congress, has been moved to an a significant ministry. he's been replaced by former president michelle bachelor's, ex cabinet chief analia with the actor. the cabinet shake up incorporates a political generation that the left wing, millennial president had, once dismissed as history equivalent of when you move out of your house. because you are a grown up now and you're going to have your own life. and 6 months later, you have to ring and your dad, your mom and your siblings, because you cannot of sort of live on your you the presidential palace. listen to students protested throughout the day against the defeat of the draft constitution supported by blood each. it would have introduced progressive

structural reforms, but for the majority of voters, it went too far in the gale, which is obvious that the president had to get the message from this electoral defeat and is taken note by incorporating people from other generations below. you weren't formed in student protests for sunday are taken into the ceremony here at the presidential palace was the late 90 minutes because of an uproar over the choice of under secretary of the interior. why did we changed at the very last minute? the embarrassing we shuffling of the cabinet, we shuffle underscores why present embodied was forced to turn to older, more experienced politicians, what each acknowledged very hard times ahead, but insisted that with the help of these more traditional social democratic cabinet members, he'll forge ahead with his ambitious program of social reforms, lucy and human al jazeera santiago to johnson and mississippi. now where water is

finally flowing after more than a week, but it's still on drinkable. the governor says he's open to all ideas to resolve the water crisis, including privatizing the city's water system. jackson's mer opposes that john 100 has this in jackson, the crisis is contained, for now the water was in the capitol of the poorest state in the us have gone on long enough. that water is once again getting to the people. a few bottles at a time. what do you think about the water situation here? that's great. who are so far? because they're taking care of it for now, but what about the long term? long term? i don't know what long term i know reward we've we've, we've been there just bumble wow. here and mr. ben, what, jackson, his not resolved is how to in the crisis, never, ever have. i had never, ever been able to take a shower. and it was my hail opened my mouth. that's crazy. the mayor chuck will remember, says the state has not provided enough money and is asking for $47000000.00 from

both the state and federal government. we can no longer afford to wait on funds to repair and improve our aging infrastructure. we need funding assistance from state and federal agencies. now. water pressure at the obee, curtis water treatment plant has been restored and taps and toilets are running it full flow. but the water still isn't clean enough to drink, so jack sony and continue to boil it or drink it by the bottle. this is one of 7 national guard stations handing out water each day from 9 in the morning until 630 at night. they hand out 2 cases of water to each car up to $4200.00 cars a day so far they say they've never run out. so people are getting their bother you on their water. they are getting their water. yes. or anybody told you how long you might be out here? no, sir, but we're in here for the us. our job. we're in for the look till somebody tells us to go home jackson's problems go deep white flight began in the 19 sixty's,

shrinking the city's taxpayers and leaving it unable to make repairs to a failing water system that could reach into the billions of dollars this empty mall once full of stores is now a water distribution center. jackson might be to capital, but it's residents vote reliably for democrats in a state run by republicans. so there's been little progress in ending it's decades long water crisis. until now, when it's drawn international attention. take but still some residents retain a stubborn southern optimism. what about the future? well, they don't get it right. how long it takes to get it right as they say here. well, that's another thing. john henderson, al jazeera jackson, mississippi. just a little nudge in the direction of our website, doctor don't comans address losing coverage with .
