the tries to safe sown around this apparition. plant. ukraine says that russia has turned the site into a military base for launching attacks. the united nations has warned of a potential nuclear disaster if fighting in the area continuous. i mean, when he said about last week that any maybe getting action g o but id say he won't even stop me, get these major reactions. we are such a large will be who need very serious cars get to sure is, are corresponded in cube. i asked her earlier for an update on the situation at this operation plant after that latest attack hearing from the local authorities. that's the situation seems to be under control. they haven't detected
9:03 am
any elevated and the radioactivity around the plan. but to be honest, this is small as everything we just now about about these attack. russia and ukraine are blaming each other. this is a pedal. we have been seeing over the past days when other tags on this nuclear power plant happened. so everybody is quite worried. what we know, or what we seem to know is there are no major parts were hit only in administrative bullying and kind of player station. but everybody's worried because only that nothing happens. now, it doesn't mean that it won't happen in the, in the next possible a tag. and that is why or why the government here it has been asking for, to establish a sort of a safety zone, a demilitarized zone. they have been asking this, the international community for months now. and the international community had,
9:04 am
hadn't, like, it responded to it until yesterday, when you and, and you said that they would support such a demilitarized tone and this is in use, which was definitely welcome very much here. and there all eyes are on that nuclear plant, but there are many fronts in this war. begin to tell us about some of the other flash points right now in ukraine. the main points are still at the southern front and the eastern front. let's start with the southern front. there are the ukrainian poor says continue their attempt to retake the city of harrison, the hat on region. they are doing this by attacking and russian supply lines like ammunition, depots, em important infrastructure. and russia at the same time has air deployed more forces to the south to, to reinforce their position. but they still have obviously enough firepower to
9:05 am
still continue their shelling in the east. we see heavy fighting there. russia is obviously concentrating its attempts on the city of bar mood. it's strategically wary, important because it is on the way to the administrative at cities of flu, janski's, administrative center of the don. yet reason. so the russians are advancing slowly, but they are advancing steadily together. thank you very much for bringing us up to date there. that was our correspond bigot, a sugar in kia as to war, rages on in ukraine. russian forces continue to fight and die in battle every day. but while the fight for supremacy on the battlefield continues, it seems the fight for the hearts and minds of the russian people has already been one support for the war remains high. so 2 are levels of indifference holsters are trying to find out why ah, on the face of it, it's a summer,
9:06 am
much like any other in moscow. the fact that russian troops are fighting, killing and dying in ukraine, seems far removed from life here. and the russian capital firestorm was with how would thinking about a change, anything to, to what extent does the situation have to do with me, but from a, nothing's up to me are you. we can only look on smoking and where for the outcome that in years i'm waiting for victory russian composure, while the criminal continues to attack its neighbour. despite the international sanctions that put the nation's future at risk. independent posters at the live auto center. try to find out why the russian people appear so indifferent as to what's going on with it. we ask as who is to blame for the fatalities on the destruction of 30 people? put nato 1st and you cran. at distant 2nd, russia was not seen to be at fault in any way that absolves people from thinking
9:07 am
about the fact that there is currently a fratricidal war going on. i misunderstood but obese to no enter. the russian states propaganda is working. people only voice criticism or doubt to those closest to them. the war has divided families and friends ethnic ukrainians and ethnic russians live on both sides of the border. krygier used to climb and asked nick, ukrainian than any other for me it was of course, a shock. the goodness, i've had roused with a lot of old friends because they do not believe that something ugly is going on there. to put it mildly from his head, you stood there where the lack of descent is also due to blatant intimidation. anyone who criticizes the army or protests against the kremlin faces, imprisonment or fines. in july, marina of johnny cova described russian president vladimir putin as a murderer on this poster. now she faces prosecution for her various anti war
9:08 am
protests. thing ever get to the i'm just like, i think what many friends of find me and said, why did you get involved that will crush you 8 you up. toast you aside and then kill you. we don't support this will either, but we think it's better to keep quiet white things out. keep our heads down. it does upward many mosque events would rob a shrug, things off and put up with the status quo. they prefer to enjoy the summer. after all, the killing is happening somewhere else. for you as president, donald trump has said he will not oppose the release of the warrant that enabled f b. i. agents to search his florida state earlier this week, u. s. tourney general has asked a judge to unseal the warrant, which would allow authorities to publish the list of items f. b i. agents took from the property. the search of trumps morrow. laga property has left many people including lawmakers asking for clarity an unprecedented week in american
9:09 am
politics. took another unexpected turn. attorney general merit garland. moving to make public documents about the ongoing investigation into donald trump. the justice department is filed a motion in the southern district to florida to unseal a search warrant and property receipt relating to a court approved search that the f b i conducted earlier this week. that search was a premises located in florida, belonging to the former president. republicans have called the rate a partisan moved and a misuse of the justice department with the goal of derailing trump's political career. those who think that they're so entrenched in the wall that they're untouchable, unreasonable and unaccountable, they can do whatever they want to with impunity. they're gonna have to learn. there's going to be a new sheriff and tell and that they can't do that. the republican majority will take them to task will hold them accountable, and we expect american people to be behind that. trump has until friday to object
9:10 am
to the motion to unseal the documents. if he doesn't, and they're made public, it's unclear how much they would reveal. but some legal experts say the investigation could help the former president. what the political fallout really could be is if this really is the end of it. this was really just about archived materials and presidential our records acts and all they wanted to do was re recover these items. i think, you know, mr. trump has already enjoyed a dawning, this role as a martyr. and that was, this will further feed into that mid term elections in november we'll decide control of congress. the fallout from our a lago could reshape the race, as voters make their judgment was the re justified. or a witch hunt to catch up on some of the stories making headlines around the world
9:11 am
today are relating to the war in ukraine. in the u. s. a. ah, norm man has been killed after he tried to reach the f. b. i cincinnati office in ohio, he was shot by police after an hour's long stand off. the suspect is reported to have been in washington in the days for the january 6th riots. authorities say they are still investigating a possible motive, former german chance or get hutch what is suing parliament in, in an attempt to reinstate some privileges. he was stripped off in may. a budget committee removed funding for schroeder's office in the buddhist dog after widespread criticism of his close ties with russia. he still receives his pension and security detail to kenya now where there is still no clear winner in the presidential election. better and opposition leader write up a dingo and deputy president william rudo are neck and neck. if neither wins more

9:13 am
some became mentally disabled. you can see the fear that they have the other a neighborhood as a stronghold of william, brutal vice president of kenya. and one of the 2 leading presidential candidates authorities the, the area as a possible hotspot for violence and have brought in hundreds of security forces. but like 2007 leaflets with hate speech have been circulating. they read vote for rudolph or 2007 was just the tip of the iceberg. at the other end of the city ballad papers checked and thought it heavily police officers secure the side. the i, b, c. the canyon electro authority has to deliver this time after the last election 5 years ago, had to be repeated due to serious arrows. you have to be dedicated to make sure that you have the right one for these and waiting for the great people. great,

numerous election of service. now days later, people are still eagerly waiting for the final results. it's been nearly a year now since the taliban take over about canister and pours tens of thousands of people to flee the country. the lucky ones were error lifted out, but many more will left behind. the united nations estimates that there are still about 3500000 people who are internally displaced after decades of war. their situation every bit as desperate as it was almost a year ago. this was the scene at cavil airport a year ago. people massed together trying to get on any plane that would take them thousands got out. many more, were left behind, splitting up families, and leaving their loved ones in afghanistan at risk. well,
9:16 am
3 of shakima and abdul's children are in the us now. their remaining 2 daughters worked in television under the old government. now seamus says she fears they may be put in prison, but they and she misses the ones who made it out. um, what the doctor was saying, he had one of them and it's my deep desire to see my children and talk them normally having a lot of problems here that the la dated in delaware did, which we will overcome these challenges. but i want to be with my children, so the other one is ominous. what are your day? some a, her son was a commando in the afghan army. now he's a refugee in the us where he still trying to get his family cleared to come over. and do some yeah, guess what? the new athens hula what'd life is really difficult for us here. i've completed documentation for my family 2 or 3 times, but their clearances are still pending. unfortunately,
9:17 am
the government ignores our files from obama. nikki, at least he made it all the way to america. millions of afghan evacuees are stuck in limbo in neighboring pakistan, waiting for visas. many were journalists, or had other jobs that made them targets for the taliban. thus, if one at the law, unfortunately, we have not yet experienced a speedy transfer of evacuees, which is a breach of the pledges made the afghans by the united states and european nations office for a place where i get after he acknowledged had a fall. she was in fresh i'mma, and abdul's family life in afghanistan is a waiting game. it's one they have to play carefully with their lives potentially at stake. for more on this, i'm joined by d. w is under the pete osman, who is on the ground in cobble sondra. we've just heard a little about some of the many people who either fled afghanistan or trying to
9:18 am
what's lifelike for those who have no choice, but to stay in the country. i mean, we have spent quite a few days in cobble now and what you see here on the ground is really the collapsing of the economy. there are so many people job less queuing and food lines . it's like the middle class as evaporating. we met former ministry officials now queuing and the long line said, food distribution centers of the word food program. and i know cobbler very well. they have always been lots of street children and beggars and widows knocking on cows begging for food. also drac uses that you could see in the streets, but the numbers have increased so tremendously. it's really like where ever you go at the moment, where you walk, where you drive, you see these desperate people and half of the population. that is 20000000 people here in afghanistan are depending on food 8 at the moment, they are securely. they are really severely foot insecure. how many afghans are of
9:19 am
course suffering under the taliban regime? but there are also those who are glad that the international forces have laughed arthur definitely, yes, we traveled to the countryside visited provinces are like water dock and logo, which store heavy fighting when u. s. and nato allies were still present and the country they experienced almost 2 decades of night rates of air rates of drones strikes of bombardments and when you speak to these people, they are really happy that the war is over. that varies has an increased sense of security for them. they told us we can now carry on our lives and we can now live according to our own traditional values and religious values. but at the same time, they also feel the economic situation. i can remember one of them telling me you used to call us with bullets and bombs. and now you kill us with sanctions which
9:20 am
become ours. handler of the pledges by western governments to relocate the thousands of afghans who assisted them. well just before we got here, we got some current figures from the german ministry of the interior. and they told us just that over $24000.00 afghans were relocated, starting with august 16th last year. and out of these 24000 efc and some 3500 were located staff with immediate family and some 1500 were a human rights activists or politicians with immediate family, which were perceived to be at particular risk. but there are also still thousands and thousands for germany alone waiting here to be evacuated up to 12000 people. that's what the german ministry of foreign affairs told us. and there is a lack of communication with most of them. and one of the reasons given by german authorities, why this process is so slow is that a lot of these people,
9:21 am
according to german authorities, lack proper papers to do security clearances and also proper papers to cross borders because they have to be evacuated from places like neighboring pakistan or iran, where they then can bore to flight and to get to safety in germany and for afghan is done. this means a huge brain drain. all these people going because they were really some of the brightest and most gifted people that would be really needed here. now, to tackle this huge crisis, humanitarian crisis that this country finds itself in. chandler, thank you so much for your reporting. that was the w sandra. peterson, in couple europe is in the group of its most extreme drought indicates record breaking heat waves linked to climate change of dried up rivers across the continent and sent water reserves plummeting to historic lows. scientists have warned and scorching summers and dryer winters will likely become the new normal due to human induced global warming. europe's
9:22 am
rivers are disappearing. italy's po is yet another casualty of the severe drought gripping much of the continent. the river would normally be teeming with taurus. instead, it's drawing bed is littered with empty boats. those living near italy's longest river say the situation is unprecedented yourselves or what i'm young and i do not remember anything like this, but even the elderly of my village and the villages around here have never seen something like this. never, ever with the po relied upon for keeping rice feels like this one irrigated farm as a warning of devastating consequences for the region known as italy's bread basket . spain is facing similarly, di, conditions with reservoirs falling to the lowest levels since 1995.
9:23 am
but this one in extra madura, the water has receded so far a medieval bridge submerged decades ago is exposed again in catalonia. this might century church has also emerged from the depths with scorching weather, predicted continue war to supplies a set to only dwindle further. even the notoriously wet u. k is facing drought conditions with the source of the river thames drawing up for the 1st time since at least 1976 and made a record breaking heat and low rainfall in france, 2 rivers, a drawing up like here in the north west where the law the country's longest river has fallen so low in some places. it can be crossed on foot to the east, sinking water levels in the rhine, a threatening not just fish,
9:24 am
but the german economy to the river is a key economic artery with barges transporting millions of tons of cargo, including coal, oil and gas each year. but officials a warning that it is set to become impossible for most boats within days as europe's drought drags on a spring in our correspondent ashatash county. here he standing by force at the run shooters describe for us. what's happening there? how bad is it? well terry, i'm actually sandy not very far from the middle of ryan, and these are certainly are, they wouldn't be possible in normal times, but these are not really normal times. here is the actually the river bed. now that this has really dried up this time around and you can actually see so many things exposed here, you can see pieces of wood rock,
9:25 am
all this exposed on this side. clear signs of the doubt that we are facing this time around. on the other side of the ship traffic has come to a trickle actually, and this is really the bedrock of trade, ill and trade in europe. that has come to a trigger. the ships that are actually, they're sailing by are also selling at just a quarter or maximum, half the capacity because of the con, really the depth of the depth have actually gone down to what levels have gone down . and, and that's the reason why it's become really an economical you're carrying goods and ships have gone up 10 times within a matter of weeks. so clearly precarious times and we've seen a similar event actually in 2018 back then the german economy suffered around 0.4 percent because of this tao to like a jewish and on the river. ryan, this time around is going to be worse because this time the ships also carrying coal gas, diesel. that just makes things complicated in the energy crisis that we are all
9:26 am
facing. and that adds to the pressure and also, or did the damage that economy would suffer. it sounds quite serious. can anything be done to prevent the rhine or other rivers for that matter from, from drawing up in the future? well the, the solution is pretty simple. you just have to cut down an emissions and these are daddy consequences of global warming. this river is fed by glaciers in switzerland . they are melting faster than we would burn, like them to bend and the rain, the rain patterns have chase. the rain is a major source of water in this river and vedrine, patterns of change. so clearly it's actually in your face, evident that global warming is taking place and we must do something about it. ashatash. thank you very much. our correspond, ashatash panted her on the banks of the rhine river. just
