a radiation expert from imperial college london. she joins me now. dr. thomas, welcome to d. w. thanks for joining us. how concerned are you or indeed should we be about the shelling at the separation nuclear power plant? i think there's a concern for the workforce working there. basically point to the gun. you know, it's never wise to do anything stupid around any major infrastructure, whether that's a chemical or a nuclear plants. but i think in terms of potential worry for people further afield than the immediate area. i don't think this is a major concern for us. these places are extremely well protected and even a direct hit on one of the to react is probably would not really mean that there will be a breach and radiation would be released. if that's the case, then it would only be the local area that would suffer the consequences as we saw around snowball. it was the local area that really suffered any consequences for

a field. you're not going to get significant amounts of radiation. so i think in terms of western europe, it is not something that we need to be concerned about, but it is sure is a worry for the local population. but you have to remember it's a terrible situation there at the moment. they're in the middle of a wall, which is infinitely more dangerous to them than anything that could happen. then you can expect experts are warning though of a potential nuclear disaster. and what do you say to those warnings? well, i didn't like 10 disaster because i don't think it would be a disaster. why the population? i think any release the radiation will cause concern. but if we, if we look at what happened to that, you know, whether it was a completely unregulated release, you know, it was only the local area that was to be impacted. people like to think that are impacted wrong, but that's just not true. so it will be release of all types like iodine and c, m id has a very short half life that wouldn't get very far away from the phones. and we know

there's not cause any major health problems in the population even around general. so i think we need to be cautious, and i certainly wouldn't want to be one of the people working. i think it's an impossible situation for them to work in. i think that is the major concern is, is the local population looking at plans to be quite honest, it would be really stupid if you try to do anything in that area because it will be the russian soldiers and the ukrainian nationals around on to it. so for most of course, those people around the plant indeed. and how is this situation, or is it different from what happened in general? totally different from what happened in general. what happened in general was a, was a major accident to a reactor that was actually working at the time. here we're looking at a potential strike by an explosive weapon that would probably not even get through the containment facilities that surround these react is nowadays, it's a very different design of reactor. so i think we need to, you know,

be consent to the locals. but i don't think it's a major concern for the rest of western europe on dr. gerald and thomas radiation expert from imperial college london. thank you very much for time today. thank you . most to kenya now where there still no clear winner in the presidential election . veteran opposition, leader rayleigh dinger, and deputy president william router and nick and nick if neither wins more than half the vote, they'll be a run off for the 1st time. elder ret in western kenya is one of the router strongholds. it was also the scene of ethnic unrest after the 2007 election as our correspondent, marianna miller reports, memories of the violence linger on out and about. and b, house of piece, helen, courtesy and collins barracuda walked through the neighbourhood, an elder it in western kenya, one day ahead of kenya's general election. they talk to neighbors and ask if they feel safe, whichever the outcome i'd be ready to let her make myself,

sir. the scenes that unfolded in 2007 are still fresh in every one's memory. here, after the elections violent clashes broke out between different ethnic groups, dozens of people including children, were burned, alive in a church. peace activists, corinthian browser, lost friends and relatives, people bad. some people, when they were injured, they still have injuries still to be some they become physically disabled, some became mentally disabled. you can still see the fear that they have the other at neighborhood as a stronghold of william, brutal vice president of kenya. and one of the 2 leading presidential candidates authority see 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 router or 2007 was just the tip of the iceberg. at the other end of the city ballad

papers, a checked and sorted heavily armed police officers secure the site. the i, b, c. the canyon electoral authority has to deliver this time after the last election 5 years ago, had to be repeated due to serious errors. you have to be ready to make sure that you have the rights of us. and in the right, one is rissa. what is anxious? waiting will be critical grid. what is tuesday morning election day at 6 am. presidential candidate, william brutal is the 1st to cast his ballad in a village near elder it he to praise for peace riggle. oh, that piece doesn't hold. where on election day these pictures make the rounds we're going to, i went to meet with a freshly elected member of county assembly for relo. dingus party is involved in a violent dispute. he accuses his political arrival. no was,

we're not in earnest long party that lucy, re little montgomery london too, grew through one of the attackers broke his aid's arm. he says, the thoughts of violent incidents are not rare and canyon politics. although they haven't happened much in the selection. back at the polling station, 5 p. m sharp, they're pulling fish, has been closed. time to count under the eyes of numerous election observers. now days later, people are still eagerly waiting for the final results and correspond marian willard joins us now from elder at marielle. nice to see you. kenyans are still waiting for the presidential results. but how is the situation there where you are in elder at given that it's still too close to coal yeah, the situation is very peaceful here. people are calmly waiting for the results to

come in, even though yesterday we spoke to somebody even today, they told us the situation is a bit more tense now than the day after the election. also feel a bit anxious and, and that's because the 3 mainly watch tv networks here have been project in different and numbers before they actually is stopped or publishing any numbers yesterday for a reason they didn't share. so that's also, you know, people are speculating about that fact, but one explanation is that they want to wait for the electoral commission to actually present the final results because they're very well aware what that may cause. so i had coat cause unrest that could cause and security and also by a constitution, they're not allowed to present the final winner. so this is actually one of the 2 reasons why there's have been uncertainty. you can feel that also there's a lot of misinformation going on on social media. we see in fact, videos of the chairman of the electoral commission, actually declaring a winner,

one of the to presidential to candidates. and so people are quite, you know, on their toes. what is the state of the tallying at the moment? when can we expect to result? yeah, so the electoral commission is now i'm announcing the presidential results from the different constituencies. there are $292.00 constituencies nationwide and they are now at around a handful more than a handful. so it will but why it takes so long is because of the verification of a, of the votes that has been counted in each polling stations across the country. they're about 46000. and this picture of this document is, are already in the national telling center narrow, but now the physical copy also has to travel all the way to now will be and this to have to match. and this is when the verification process is concluded, and this is when they can actually present the results. but yesterday, before the tv stations actually stopped publishing the numbers and their numbers

also based on the same document that is uploaded online. and they have shown that router is in a small electron a very a like a small lead. and so it's only by one percent. actually it's a very small margin. and so people are, yeah, very tens about that and waiting. who is going to win in the end? morale, thank you very much. marian willard in elder at kenya. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news. this. our former u. s. president donald trump has said he'll not oppose the release of the warrant that allowed f b. i. agents to search his florida home. the u. s. attorney general has asked a judge to unseal the warrant to allow authorities to publish the list of items. if the i agents seize from the property in the us, an armed man has been killed after he tried to breach the f. b, i cincinnati office in ohio. he was shot by police after an hour's long standoff.
