. kia and moscow have traded blame for recent shelling of the plant. they cause damage and lead to a reactor shut down. ukraine's president logan is lensky as accusing russia of nuclear blackmail the head of the united nations. antonio good parish has warned that any attack on a nuclear power plant is quote, suicidal who wants access to the site. port international inspectors. are you d. w. correspond mathias bellinger. is in keir earlier, i asked him how dangerous a situation is at that nuclear plant and what's being done to ensure safety. 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,

artillery and military equipment on the premises of this, 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 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, a get 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, i'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, 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 side. 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 trained personnel, but it's under the control of russian officials and the ukrainians. do not have a do not have at all times contact with a ukrainian to the ukrainian authority. so the most urgent thing 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 queue for millions of europeans. the summer of 2022 has been sweltering. a dry spring and

hotter than usual. temperatures have left several european countries in the grip of drought, extreme heat waves and forest fires of plague, france, italy, spain and portugal for weeks. you k recorded temperatures over 40 degrees celsius for the very 1st time. and rivers on the continent are drying up. in the netherlands in germany, the rhine has dropped so low that house boats have become stranded and commercial ships can't carry full loads anymore. will ryan river is one of the world's most important shipping lanes. i asked t w's. barbara basil, whether plans to deepen, the waterway, would make shipping their more buyable. 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 at the ecological problems that will be

crated by deepening learning. they're 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, 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 and 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 pa, extremely high temperatures. this is a big problem for europe in general. how's the european union addressing as his, your barbara to 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 bad all over europe. as you mentioned, droughts and wild fires, and there is no water in parts of the netherlands already. this is one of the witness countries in europe. so those can, there is no remedy for that. this is what has already happened. and it seems that politics also 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. celebrities and fans alike had been paying tribute to olivia newton john, who has died at the age of 73. many say the entertainers, openness about her decades long battle with breast cancer gave them hope and inspiration. although she enjoyed a long career, she's best remembered for one eye clinic fil. ah,
