it's tracy with hearing their dreams ready to journey. stuart's august 14th w. ah ah ah, this is dw alive from berlin, another attack on your ups and biggest nuclear power plants, moscow and cheve accuse each other of shelling this operation nuclear facility as the un, warren's up a potential disaster or so coming up on the show. kenyans are still waiting for the result of their presidential vote 3 days after polls closed. if neither of the 2

contenders are mergers is the clear winner. it will go to a runoff election for the 1st time. and a year after the tone leave on take over, we meet some of the millions of off guns who remain displaced inside the country. desperate to leave ah hello, i'm clare richardson, a very warm welcome to the show. the head of the u. n's. nuclear watchdog has warned of a grave crisis unfolding this operation nuclear power plant in ukraine. he was addressing an emergency session of the un security council as moscow and keep trade accusations of new shelling near the nuclear facility. as fighting in the area continues the u. s. is backing calls for a demilitarized safe zone around this operational plants. ukraine says that russia has turned site into

a military base for launching attacks. i like to bring in stuff on you. hi, lecturer on radiation protection at our w t h. r. can university here in germany. hello. thank you so much for joining us. i want to ask you 1st how concerned we should be about this showing in the operation. well, 1st of all, i mean as horrible as well into creating the direct involvement of nuclear apartment are no direct danger to the life of the people in germany. locally, the situation is of course quite different and indeed i'm worried about that. ok, so obviously terrible for local residence there. what would you then say to the experts who have been warning of potential nuclear disaster if fighting in the area continues? i mean the un atomic watch dog has called this a grave. our of course i generally agree with that. being the target of warfare beyond the design of the apartment, we can only hope that both sides the exercise the necessary same to prevent such

a tragedy. i mean, i see no point in exploring scenarios in which radioactive materials are deliberately released and spread by military action, because this would simply be an escalation into a nuclear warfare. but the greatest danger from my perspective is the total disruption of our supply. need him to a lot of emergency coding and essentially a human like scenario dimensions to important areas like the containment by high explosives with then facilitating the reduced rating oxide to looking at the possible accidents. you then think that a loss of power is the worst case scenario. what would that look like? well, i mean, we have, we have the situation that dispute over where the power from actually goes to. and if somebody decides to destroy the power line, it would leave the plant essentially with it,

but its own power production and the emergency generators both quite sensible to further military military impact. and if we booked this session to god ok, thank you very much for stuff on you. her lecturer on radiation protection at our w 2 h and thanks for taking the time to speak with us as the war rages on a new crane. 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 to 2 levels of indifference on the face of it, it's a summer, much like any other in moscow. the fact that russian troops are fighting, killing and dying in ukraine, seems far removed from life in the russian capital. cost almost moses i would

thinking about and change anything or to what extent does the situation have to do with me? remembering from a nothing's up to me are you we can only look on smoking and where for the outcome . look at it in him. yes, i'm waiting for victory. russian composer, while the kremlin continues to attack its neighbor, despite the international sanctions that put the nation's future risk. independent posters at the lovato center are trying to find out why the russian people appears so indifferent to what is going on. gentle erosion, we ask that vision, who is to blame for the fatalities on the destruction of 30 people, put nato 1st on ukraine, a distant 2nd. russia was not seen to be at fault in any way that absolves people from thinking about the fact that there is currently a fratricidal war going on. are mostly studios, but at the beast when they wanna freshen steep 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 ridge. leah, it needs to climb an ethnic ukrainian and then the other for me, it was of course, a shock. the corners i've had rose with a lot of old friends because they do not believe that something ugly is going on there. to put it mildly, companies have, you know, the back where the lack descent is also due to intimidation. anyone who criticizes the army or protests against a kremlin faces imprisonment orfine's. marina of sienna cova described putin as a murderer on this poster. she now faces charges of spreading false information, punishable by up to 10 years in prison. get rid of them, does one have a good many friends have phoned 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 upward. many musk events prefer to shrug things off and put up with the status quo. let's go to kenya now where there's still no clear winner in the presidential election, veteran opposition leader by low dingo and deputy president william root who are neck and neck. if neither wins more than half the vote, there will be a run off for the 1st time. el dorado in western kenya is one of rudo strongholds, was also the scene of unrest after the 2007 election. memories of that violence linger on as our correspondent mario miller reports out and about and be house of peace. helen, courtesy and collins barrows. i walked through the neighbourhood, an elder, it in western kenya, one day ahead of kenya's general election. they talked 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 barracuda lost friends and relatives. it was 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 neighbourhood is a strong hold of william, brutal vice president of kenya. and one of the 2 leading presidential candidates authorities see the area as a possible hotspot for violence and have brought in hundreds of security forces. but like in 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 side, 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 very clean to make sure that you up the rights. 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, good. but peace 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 rayleigh or dingoes party is involved in a violent dispute. he accuses his political arrival, wassa. whoever is not a strong party that bruce here,

we little much good to go through. one of the attackers brokers, aids 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. if willing fish has been closed time to count under the eyes of numerous election of service. now, days later, people are still eagerly waiting for the finer results of await us. let's get across to nairobi and our correspondent edith kamani, who's been covering the election for us. i, edith, it's been 3 days since polling stations, clothes, and still no result. why is this taking so long? while it's because here in kenya, we use a very slow process to count those results. are there have been a lot of trust issues between canyons and electoral officials as to what happens is

those polls have to be read out one by one are viewed there by so many election officials you saw in that story that has just run. and so they are correlated at the pulling station, then they're taken to a constituency level, and then they're validated again at a national level. and that's what we're currently waiting for. a long and careful process. are people becoming impatient waiting for the results? certainly. and it's because in kenya, at the moment we're in what i would describe as a limbo schools are closed. most of the businesses are also cuz people are not going to work. and so a lot of people are just sort of glued to their t. v screens waiting for the results which don't seem to be coming out but the independent electron and boundaries commission chem, a person that that's the body that runs the elections here and did a sure can is in an earlier press conference that in 7 days, which is the legal timeframe that they have, that those results will indeed have been announced. and what will be the biggest challenges facing whoever becomes the next president?

suddenly the cost of living i was speaking to a lady earlier today who were saying that, you know, even after the election, she doesn't see any hope for the country that people are sleeping hungry. but schools are supposed to reopen, as she doesn't know where she is. going to get school feeds from, it's not unique to her, it's what a lot of canyons are experiencing. there's a drought that's ravaging the region, making things even worse, reeling from the effects of a global pandemic, and not to mention the wine ukraine, which is also continuing to have an effect on us here. yet there was relatively low voter turnout, our people losing faith in the electoral process. well, that's what a lot of people said. those who did not vote, and even those who did seeing that there was simply going to the ports to protest, to vote for somebody who they hadn't before an unfamiliar face. but the numbers are showing that the old guard definitely still had the political upper hand in the country. and yes, kenyans are very frustrated because of the things that i mentioned earlier. the state of the economy is not great. people are not happy with how the country was

being run. and so these hope that maybe this will be the time that things finally changed for kenner. d. w, correspond either kamani in nairobi. thank you so much for your reporting. let's bring you up to speed now and some of the other stories making news at this hour. at least 38 people have died across south western yemen, after torrential rains caused severe flooding in the capital. so not over 40 buildings were damaged, along with bridges. and roads. yemen has been locked in a 7 year civil conflict, which has led to a lack of maintenance infrastructure, worsening. the situation. former us president donald trump has said he will not oppose the release of the warrant that allowed f b. i. agents to search his florida home. the us attorney general has asked a judge to unseal the warrant to allow authorities to publish the list of items at the agencies from the property. former sri, lankan president. i got a bio raj,

a park that has arrived in thailand on a flight from singapore, the ty, prime ministers that his visit was permitted on humanitarian grounds as russia pox was seeking asylum in another country. he was forced to resign as president after protests caused by a teeth economic crisis and germany has announced it is suspending its participation in the un military mission in molly. the move comes after molly and authorities repeatedly denied german forces, overflight rights preventing troop rotations. or earlier this year, berlin extended the deployment to molly, following a visit by germany's foreign minister and elaina bareback to the west african nation. the german government now says it is willing to participate in international peacekeeping missions in the country. but only if it is supported by molly's military hunter. and more on the story from d. w. political correspondent opinion and aggress karuba benjamin. as we just heard, germany had extended its deployment in molly as recently as earlier this year,

why is it suspending its military mission now? it has been attends relationship between berlin and the military shown to and by macklin. berlin has been repeatedly accusing malley and officials of not fulfilling the promises the spokesperson of germany's in defense ministry today said that yesterday the saint lambert, germany's defense minister, spoke to her molly and counterpart that according to the german side, he assured her that there would be no problem with this troop rotations. but as today's happened again, germany finally decided to pull out of this tube of this mean no smart mission backed by the united nations. but as you rightly just pointed out, germany said that it will continue supporting this international missions only if the local governments also support them. and what will the implications of this a for security in this a whole region? that's one of the big fears that they're no longer will be fighting only in molly.

we have a country under military rule with several separatists group. we have into ethnic fighting happening in the country. and the fear is that this will also happen in neighboring yaeger in neighboring burkina faso. and that's why this a hell region is so important for the german government. and what and alina bab of germany's foreign minister sat when she went to molly in april of this year, saying that after the pull out of the french, the largest contingent in molly, that decided they will pull out of the country. that, of course, it would mean extra responsibility for the countries that are still there. so that's the big fear that it might lead to in stable situations. not only molly, but also in the neighboring countries. so as this controversial than in berlin. one of the most important foreign policy voices off the gym and opposition praised and said that this the right decision due to that at the same time, he said that the german government should have put more pressure on by michael on the authorities there to allow germany to continue with this mission,

he said that germany now needs to be more realistic when it comes to the policy and that it needs a new african trans atlantic relationship to also counter russian and chinese influence in the region. and that's something that many german ministers have said politicians that a worried boy, if the situation what would happen now with this fighting, were not only the french decided to pull out. but also the european union is decided to end it's training mission, e u t. and training mission along with what will happen now with this you and let and you and backed min new sma mission. now the germany also decided after almost 10 years molly, to pull its troops out of the country, our political correspondent, benjamin, of escort over. thanks. so much for that update. you are watching a d w news still to come on the show with 100 days to go until the football world cup l g b t q fans are still waiting for guarantees over their safety concern. but

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 pledge is made to afghans by the united states and european nations, all ought to follow the place where i get after he acknowledged had it while 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. and europe is in the grip of its most extreme drought in decades record breaking heat waves linked to climate change have dried up rivers across the continent and some water reserves plummeting to historic lows. the scientists have worn that scorching summers and dryer winters will likely become the new normal teachers. human induced
