hearing from the local authorities, that's the situation seems to be under control. they haven't detected any elevated and the radioactivity around the plan. but to be honest, this is more or less every thing we just know about it 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 bowling and, and planned to player station. but everybody is worried because only that nothing happens. now it doesn't mean that it won't happen in the next possible attack, and that is why or why the government here it has been asking for us to establish a sort of a safety zone,

a demilitarized zone. there have been asking this, the international community for months now, and the international community 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 keep, 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 start with the southern front, there are the ukrainian forces continue. they tend to retake the city of harrison, the latin region. they are doing this by attacking and russian supply lines like ammunition depots, and am important infrastructure and russia at the same time has air deploy more

forces to the south 2 to reinforce their position, but they still have obviously enough firepower to still continue their shelling in the east we see heavy fighting there. russia is obviously concentrating its attendance on the city of bahamas. it's strategically wary, important because it is on the way to the administrative at city of flu, janski's administrative center off the don. yet reason. so the russians are advancing slowly, but they are advancing steadily. a good deal. thank you very much for bringing us up to date. 3rd, that was our correspond bigot, a sugar in kia. take a look at some of the other stories making news. this our, in the us an armed man has been killed after he tried to breach the ais 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 before the january 6th riots.

authorities say they are still investigating a possible motive for german chancellor gerhard schroeder is suing parliament in an, in an attempt to reinstate some privileges. he was stripped of in may. a budget committee removed funding for schroeder's office in the bonus tag after widespread criticism of his close ties with russia. he still receives his pension and security detail. former sri lankan president go to bio roger pox. a has arrived in thailand on a flight from singapore, a ty, prime minister said his visit was permitted on humanitarian grounds. as roger poxy was seeking asylum in another country. he was forced to resign f, as president after protests caused by a deep economic crisis. it's been nearly a year now since the taliban takeover of afghanistan force tens of thousands of people to flee the country. the lucky ones were air lifted out, but many more were left behind the united nations estimates. 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 capital airport a year ago, people mast 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, 3 of shame and abdul's children are in the us now. their remaining 2 daughters worked in television under the old government. now shame as says she fears they may be put in prison, that they and she misses the ones who made it out. what do you think yet, or what is the member? it's my deep desire to see my children and talk then loan. we're having

a loss of provisions here that the la data didn't de la la did, which we will overcome these challenges. but i want to be with my children, is that the other one is amina, sorta is, i'm her son, was a commando in the afghan army. now he's a refugee in the u. s. where he's still trying to get his family cleared to come over and do some the, i guess what the new athens will apart of 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, 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 of the law, unfortunately, we have not yet experienced the speedy transfer of evacuees,

which is a breach of the pledges made to afghans by the united states and european nations office for i will replace what i get after. he acknowledged that it was 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. a report there from our correspondent zigler pages mon. i spoke to her earlier and asked her what life is like 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 in food lines . it's like the middle class as evaporating. we met former ministry officials now queuing and the long lines at food distribution centers of the word food program.

and i know cobbler very well. they have always been lots of st. children and beggars and widows knocking on cowed oz, begging for food. also drac uses that you could see in the streets, but the numbers have increased so tremendously. it's really like wherever 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 foot 8 at the moment they are securely. they are really severely foot insecure. now, many afghans are of 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 likewise dark and logo, which store heavy fighting. when u. s. a. nato allies were still present and the country they experienced almost 2 decades of nitrates, 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 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 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 african, some 3500 were look at stuff with immediate family and some 1500 were 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, 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 of canister . and 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 st. peter's fun in couple now to taiwan, where despite chun, is huge military exercises surrounding it, life remains largely unchanged. as our correspondent zachary li report, some residents are deeply worried about the prospect of military conflict. psychiatrist say the mental toll, beijing's military drills is beginning to show in the minds of the people these come shelters, indians, williams hope had been the store room for years, but no, she's preparing to use it again. the chinese military drew near taiwan have made war seem like a real possibility to her friends or the law. we need to clean it up 1st so we can have a place to hide. if a war breaks out, it's safe to stay in here. you can see it is a solidly built shelter, leaf, more, bum shorter was beaut, nearly a 100 years ago. during the 2nd world war,

she never expected to need it one day. she is not long. li, increased military activity has risked concerns here in soft in taiwan. rather than living nearly both are very used to live south of fighter aircraft. by in the past few days, they say that there's more fighter jets. i'll take it oh, and lending even at midnight. and these high risk worries here sharing show is one of the following news about chinese 3 years has become a part of his daily routine. he has even asked his local administrator. we're the a race show to us, are you see why we are used to chinese intimidation. he's been going on for decades on this time. the drills are much closer to us talking shit. this, of course,

has this worried in taiwan concerns about military crises as noti, racing a local survey font dead, a 3rd of the taiwanese are worried about a possible conflict with china. some are even seeking medical help to deal with. there is a, a t psychiatrist yonce on tases. his passions have increased by nearly 30 percent geneva pals and both of them. one of my patients has experienced war, although yet, and he feels stressed when he sees reports about the drills or the war in ukraine, fatal nicole g hyper, he has nightmares and can't eat properly or more a home which none, some without but others, of course the alien however, have taken the tensions. india stay young by his death many here, unarmed to chinese threats. but a further escalation he sees, could quickly upset that balance on joy now from taipei by

dw zachary li. zachary military. tensions across the taiwan strait have escalated in a massive way since the last visit that visit last week by u. s. l. speaker nancy pelosi. are there any efforts under way to relieve those tensions? well, attentions on china actually just announced a 2 days ago that they already div ah, make a completion of la deals near tie 12 days ago. so we can see her live may not be escalation as if the g as already completed. but again, or we don't know, like in the future, would it be more me through exercise will be conducted, especially near the areas of taiwan. what lessons has the taiwanese government learned from those military maneuvers that the chinese army staged around the island where i was said because this meet her,

it really is actually present then teeth, you know, like china has never conducted me to do as such, close to taiwan the areas are very, very close to taiwan, so call their territorial watches or air base. so for town is government of course, live feed it like very clear crystal clear lead. how chain us the termination of like a united tie, one you know, by los life, i mean 3 axis days in the past few days, as you mentioned. and they already seen the warning in a freight. i actually tangled president how you when just told the air force is all feature on thursday that china's 3rd or 4th has not decreased. this user input says that a tie one will not escalate conflict or vote these few instead of time and will firmly defend is over at the national security. so we can see like i've talked to some

experts, they predict that in the future, there will be more military affairs, as conducted by the town is government. and probably there were, you know, to review the military capability also may be more than nice, is foresees probably by more, i mean her aircraft from the us. this while we can see now, residents of taiwan are accustomed to the tensions with china is, is this latest escalation seen as just more of the same, or is there a sense that the overall threat has increased in a fundamental way? well, it is very interesting. then when you talk to people on the street, they would just tell you they don't really feel like a no no immediate threat or like a very strong threat from b gene as you. so in the reports i filed left around 30 percent of people in taiwan. actually constant about military conflict in the future. but

the same survey also actually fights that there are 60 percent of power in his people. they are not constant about monitor catholic or any metre crisis. this is because how many people are very used to the threats from b gene already for decades. but again, some exposure, actually a give a warning that because tony's people are so numbed tool, china astray, so it might be a bit dangerous that they don't feel escalation from china. china site zachary, thank you very much. that was d w's. zachary lee in taipei. well, europe is in the grip of its most extreme drought in decades record breaking heat waves linked to climate change of dried up rivers across the continent and sent water reserves plummeting to historic lows. scientists suborned that scorching summer's and dryer winters will likely become the new normal due to human induced

global warming. europe's rivers are disappearing. italy's po is yet another casualty of the severe drought gripping much of the continent. the river would normally be teaming with tourists. instead its drying bed is littered with empty boats. those living near italy's longest river say the situation is unprecedented. you're salazar when 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 the 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 their lowest levels since 1995.

but this one in extra madura, the water has receded so far a medieval bridge submerge 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 farther 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, 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 sports now. and there's just a 100 days to go until the mens football world cup begins in cover with questions surrounding count her st stance on l. g b t q communities, fifa is under increasing pressure to clarify the situation. ever since the world cup was awarded to guitar, back in 2010 nations human rights record has threatened to spoil the party among the chief concerns guitars, policy on homosexuality. while confusion continues over. whether traveling fans will be allowed to express their beliefs during the world cup every day could tories face arrest and abuse. the conversation has been sequestered almost entirely above that of visitors. today's the flag of visitors to be able to rent
