9:03 am
but he has lashed out saying that the f. b, i rated his beautiful home, he called in dark times for the nation and added, they even broke into my safe. his fury has been echoed by republicans who said the f. b. i has been completely weaponized by radical left democrats. all of this coming as president trump has been entering, ever closer to announcing that he wants to run in the 2024 presidential election. and observers here saying that with a numerous investigations that he's facing president trump might try to get ahead of any legal consequences. and now, sooner rather than later that he is going forward that he wants to be president again in 2 years time. debbie assume selma's gone to their in washington. now polling stations have opened in tenure as the country boats for a new president and members of parliament. the campaign has been dominated by the cost of living crisis and high unemployment, former prime minister, right? dingo is ahead in opinion polls followed by the deputy president william router
9:04 am
voting was suspended in 4 areas. on monday, after electoral officials held improper meetings with candidates or correspond mario mila is one of the polling stations in nairobi. good. see you, maria. house situation in kenya's capital this morning as voting gets underway. i very yes i'm here at khaki. vera primary school. deborah is the largest informa settlement in a ruby and people have been queueing here for quite some time. i spoke to someone who told me he's been here since for a am putting stations are opens and 6. now actually everybody's getting a bit excited because one of the 2 presidential candidates is about to arrive. his security personnel has just arrived. also some electoral observers. so yeah, i spoke to a young voter was very excited as well. he says it's the 1st time he's able to vote, and he hopes to bring fresh blood into this political system. they are the more disturb relaxed, but people are getting bit excited. now. you talk to us about the 2 leading
9:05 am
candidates or our regular a banga and william router. what do they stand for? so this is ashley, a real nail biter because these 2 candidates, i have been very close neck on neck and the most recent polls. until now it's clear that rollo, dina is in the clear lead by dry loading or is the veteran position leader. he's been active in the opposition movements and for 19 eighties. he spend years in jail in his fight for multi party democracy against then ruler daniel eric moines. he has been in the forefront of this movement. that's why his widely respected he has a huge fellowship as well. so now he even enjoys the backing of the current president ag root can yetta. and he also hopes to garner some of the votes of the core you community. that is the ethnic community that is traditionally backing the
9:06 am
president. so rather dingo hopes to also have some support of them. and this support is actually why the other presidential candidate, a william realtor or the deputy president inside lions. he has been deputy president over the last 9 years. he has positioned himself as an antidote to that whew kenyatta and to the dangers ab, because he says he is not from an old. elite family is not from a dynasty as he calls it, and he represents the needs of the poor. he and calls himself a hustler, and he says he wants to improve the situation of those struggling because of the hiv which prices. so those are the candidates. so what about the issues, marriage? what's at stake in this election? yes, so i already just mentioned the biggest issues are, are at the moment the high food prices of the growing inequality and unemployment. so canes are really frustrated and actually desperate. they say they have been struggling with this situation for far too long. and the situation has actually
9:07 am
also gotten worse because of a drought that's devastating for 1000000 canyon's on the brink of starvation at the moment. and the food insecurity has been exacerbated by the war and ukraine, and also the country still grappling with the effects of the culprit 19 pandemic. so these 2 candidates offer solutions or try to, to make that point to the public. here they am i william router, for example. he says you will offer a hustler fund how he calls it $420000000.00 for small scale traders. and violet dingum says he will offers $50.00 per month for ad for each of vulnerable kenyon. i just now the presidential candidate is arriving . maybe we can catch a glimpse, i think is still too far. let's have a look. people are getting very excited and, and this is where he historically used to vote. so people have been waiting for
9:08 am
that. or you can see, can you see the puppet, the laker, some people in i denies against you at, but we will, we will look as the basis for you. and so you later re, mario, thank you so much. are course material miller. they're reporting from nairobi stay look now had some of the other stories making headlines around the world. chinese authorities are trying to hold a cupboard 19 outbreak in the popular beach resort city of san ya known as china's hawaii. more than 80000 tourists were left stranded after flights out of the city were canceled over the weekend. tourists must fest negative over 7 days to leave. taiwan military has held a live fire artillery drill, simulating the islands defense against an attack. the exercises come after china
9:09 am
launched it's largest ever wargames in the region, crossing the taiwan strait, median line, and firing missiles over ty pay now to ukraine, and the countries nuclear chief is calling for a demilitarized zone around europe's biggest nuclear power station. it's apple reach. yep. which has been under rushing occupation since the early weeks of the war. keith and moscow have traded blame poor recent shelling at the plant that caused damage and led to a reactor shut down the head of the united nations. antonio good harrison has warned that any attack on a nuclear power plant is suicidal. he wants access to the site and or international inspectors suicidal. c. o. it cranes, president valadez lansky has accused russia of nuclear blackmail in his latest video address. he called for international sanctions against russia's nuclear
9:10 am
industry, acting on some we are actively informing the world about russia, nuclear blackmail about the shelling and mining of this upper region nuclear power plants. there are already appropriate reactions from the international community, but we need to speed up actions and response a. russia will not respect words or worries. new sanctions are needed against the terrors state and the entire russian nuclear industry for creating the threat of a nuclear disaster. rosie yeah, the look at the stove are correspond mathias bellinger is in kia. i asked him how dangerous the situation is and what's being done to insure safety at that nuclear play. so there have been worries about this power plan since the very beginning of the war since the russians entered the territory. they're fighting broke out there in march already, or where people were worried that it might endanger their safety. and of course, these rocket attacks now are adding urgency to this work to these worries. russia has been using this power plant as a shield. they have stationed,
9:11 am
artillery and military equipment on the premises of this or of this power plant. and they have also used it as a, yeah, i would say a means of psychological threat. they have said that this, that what i, one of the commanders have, has said that this power plant will either be russian or it will be nobody's effectively threatening to blow it up. in the case case, ukraine would try to seize the territory. this is, of course, again, a violation of all international norms. no fighting must take place near power plants according to international law. but in this war, of course sir, that we have seen many m. yeah, crimes are violations of international law. so the, the worries are high, it's not that the power plant will explode if one shall hits the reactors, the reactors updated pretty sturdy. and they are designed to withstand a certain amount of, of for damage. but there are many weak spots in power plants and, and the longer this goes,
9:12 am
the more dangerous it is. now what is done to ensure the safety is a good question. because the i, a, the international atomic energy agency does not have access to the site. we don't really know what's happening inside. we know that ukrainian workers were used to run it before the war are still running it. so this is train personnel, but it's under the control of russian officials and just the ukrainians do not have a do not have at all times contact with their ukrainian to the ukrainian authority . so i'm, the most urgency would now be to grant access with the international experts to this power plant. mathias, thank you very much shot. that was our correspond mathias spelling of that in qa russia has consistently denied that its targeting civilian infrastructure in its war against ukraine. but the destruction on the ground suggests otherwise, according to the ukrainian government,
9:13 am
hundreds of health facilities have been damaged. the w's bear get a sugar went to the northern town of shania, where she met a man who's trying to hold russia accountable. as deputy house minister, pavlov. daniel worked for years to build ukraine's health care system in his new job. he documents it's destruction. this used to be the chinese cardiac center until it was totally destroyed by a russian airstrike. that strike is one of more than 180 hospital attacks cofton nuke and his team f documented. i see the systemic get out of open destruction of health care as a part of civilian livelihood because it's not only about health care, it's old types of civilian objects will be systemic or targeted dash can video caught the moment when aid russian bombs hit the residential area leaving
9:14 am
a crater right next to the cardiac center. the attack could 47 people that day. the city was under constant selling. a resident tells us over excavators had to dig the grave. there were so many victim for they had to bury them in the body, backs pablo cove, tanya and his small n g o. collect witness accounts, photos of damage, and remnants of who happens to lunch with us. they hold the evidence can be used in future litigation. they just work on cases where no ukrainian military were base near buying. only then coff tanya says, could such an attack a moment to a war crime attacks on health facilities like this one leaf, much more destruction than erect hospital believe people without immediate and long term health care. and they add to fear and insecurity because hospitals are no longer a place of safety. doctors at the chimney,
9:15 am
if children's hospital just across the street treated the injury of the cardiac center attack a day, dr. nikolai lord cabbage says he will never forget malicious of the wine at the just well trained trauma surgeon us, but we never, ever experienced this kind of bleeding wound but animal. but everybody was screaming adults and kid, we put 5 of them here on the floor, but more and more were coming. it was chaos, ship of the party. you are the constant telling, the doctors did everything they could to keep their young patients safe. and that meant a lot of time in the basement, 2 weeks later, a bomb hit here. oh, cassette, the obstacle, the preamble, it was a cluster bomb or want to lose if the ammunition parts were everywhere for the war . fortunately, there had been an air raid alarm for the cluster attack, so the children were in the basement. you could, if not, we could have had 237 death loss from of a, but do so can assist him. so if he sells cough tanya,
9:16 am
the shrapnel he collected from the site they operated for hours he says to get doesn't self similar pieces are threatening out of the children's bodies lobby roses through with the doorbell. and i, when you're here to this, no need to explain why when it justice or somebody needs to pay for what was done to that, to people like, like nicola or his patients on the way out of cheney. if we pass another destroyed hospital, it may take years before an international court or tribe unit starts dispensing justice. and when they need his evidence, cofton uke says it's ready and waiting for millions of europeans, the summer of 2022 has been sweltering. a dry spring and hotter than the usual temperatures have left several european countries in the grip of drought. extreme heat waves and forest fires have plagued france italy, spain,
9:17 am
and portugal for weeks. you case has recorded temperatures over 40 degrees celsius for the 1st time. and rivers on the continent are drawing up in the netherlands and germany. the river right has dropped so low that houseboats become stranded, and commercial ships can't carry full loads anymore. let's get more on this from our correspond. barbara basal, she's in ny. megan in the netherlands. barbara, the rhine is one of the world's most important shipping lanes. is there enough water left in it to keep the boats moving? there is just a bit or 2 left in the rhine here right behind me. but on the other side, terry, what you seeing there are beaches and they're not supposed to be any beaches. there is supposed to be water over there. so the barges, the rhine barges that go down to the harbor, the biggest harbor in europe brought to them. they had just inching past year very
9:18 am
slowly and they're riding extremely high in the water. they can only take about a 3rd of their normal load, and that means it did the, the price of course for the transport triples. so for them, this might be the last days to day, maybe to morrow, towards the end of the week shipping, my totally stop here because they hardly have any water left under, under the ships and they can hardly move anymore. so with this barber's, we get a closer look now at hell draft is affecting the rhine of roll. water levels have dropped so low that it's now possible to walk in the river. and not just along sight it where water once flowed. now it's just stones and gravel, and at one point it's actually possible to walk from one site to the other. experts say it will likely remain this way for some time on a looked annually because of the low water levels. the use of the ryan is limited
9:19 am
and the transport capacity of the inland waterway fleet is therefore lower. this also means that all lowes who transport goods and services via the waterway obviously have lower supply possibilities, wasn't feeling a lot for roles with them. this has led to major economic problems. companies are unable to transport goods along the river. many containers are jammed at various points on the rhine. barge operators have reported that they can no longer fully load their ships. the highest as we have to analyze every trip. every order we accept, we have to consider how much water the river still has. what many people don't know is that when we set sail at water level, there's only between 10 and 30 centimeters of water still under the ship and the
9:20 am
shallow places lost in the federal government has plans to deepen the river. the 1st test for whole as have been drilled in the central rine region. experts hope to deepen parts of the river by up to 20 centimeters over the next 10 years. where we're, we just heard there that there are plans to make the right a little bit deeper. how is that going to help things, though? if there isn't enough water? that is the big question here. of course, it will help because the ships can keep moving a bit longer, but it's not going to add any water to the rhine. basically, we don't know the ecological problems that may be created. experts, some experts are warning not to do that. the ecological problems that will be crated by deepening earning this shipping channel here. and so this is of course with we see one of the problems it, it can nomic a desires and wishes. on the other hand,
9:21 am
as opposed to like ecological considerations. because many people say you shouldn't do that to the right, it would have untold consequences. and so the water is just simply running out here and did the drought will continue in the netherlands. they expect in the next week a week in not the heat wave. so the level is going to go down and down and nothing is going to change that. so there's less water in the rhine and the wildfires all over europe hug streamline high temperatures. this is a big problem for europe in general. how's the european union addressing us as your barbara the you is trying to say we're going to get climate neutral within the next decade. however, the, the damages that we see this summer that are so incredibly, it, it bad all over europe. as you mentioned, droughts and wild fires and there's no water in parts of the netherlands already. this is one of the witness countries in europe. so they,
9:22 am
those can and there is no remedy for that. this is what has already happened. and it seems that paul takes us on the european level. i just slowly sort of trying to catch up with it development and ecological development that is happening under our very eyes. barbara, thank you so much. our course for barbara basil there in the netherlands. germany's chancellor full of schultz is due to visit the headquarters of the german football association today to continue a discussion. he has personally fueled. he's called for equal pay for men and women footballers on german national teams. currently, the women's team is paid far less than the men. at least nobody can claim the women's game doesn't draw big crowds. the 2022 euros in england, set new standards in terms of a crowd sizes and tv audiences. club football is another story though. just
9:23 am

9:24 am
a co pay german chancellor. olive sholtes also noted this during the heroes women and men. he said should be paid equally. that also applies to sport, especially for national tapes. spine is a head of the game. almost a dozen national associations now pied them male and female players equal bonuses. the german, if i has yet to adopt that policy, germany's run us up at the women's euros were paid $30000.00 euros per player, doubled that had they won the tournament. meanwhile, the men would have made $400000.00 euros each. if they had lifted the trophy, as you wrote 2021, no celebrities fans alike have been paying tribute to olivia newton john who has died at the age of 73. when he say the entertainers openness about her decades long battle with breast cancer gave them hope and inspiration. although she enjoyed a long career,
