it's tracy ah, meeting people hearing their dreams ready to meet this week on d w. ah, ah, this is dw lie from berlin. warnings from ukraine of potential disaster ad europe's largest nuclear power station. ukrainian officials say some plant workers are being kept away, raising new safety fits. we hear from an engineer from the facility about the struggle to keep it running under russian occupation also on the program. a tornado

of fire. that's how i witnesses described places that have killed doesn't, and algeria survivors now wonder why authorities didn't do more to stop the flight . and in ethiopia meet the old female st hoarding group, teaching girls new skills, and creating space for them to get involved in school. ah, i'm glad else has welcome to the program. united nations secretary general antonio good cherish, has called for all troops to be withdrawn from rounds ukraine's zapora z a nuclear power station. the planters under russian occupation and has come under repeated shelling with irish was speaking during talks with ukraine's president blog, amiens' de lensky, and the this is leader recipe add on in the western ukrainian city of levies. the

leaders also disgust exchanging prisoners of war and increase of ukrainian grain exports, millions of tons of which are still stuck in black sea palms. who cherish a repeated his coals for a safe zone around separation. military equipment and personnel should be withdrawn from the plant. further, the climate of forces or equipment to the sides must be avoided. the area needs to be didn't really that ice. and we must tell it as he sees every potential damage who's up what he's yeah, is suicide. but corresponded, but he has building on is in levine and covering these talks for us. but he has a lot of concerns. stark warnings there from blue terrace, but have any steps been taken to protect the power plant that well,

what steps could be taken? the power plant is occupied by the ration. so you crank and not take any steps to ensure the safety. that is, it's not ukraine selling the power plant, which the russians are accusing ukraine of which would of course be something very dangerous. ukraine, in its turn, is saying that russia is selling the power plant and that is preparing something that some kind of off an incident what whatsoever. the intelligence that they have presented to support this claim is that russia seemingly has told all the work as well. not on urge and ship to not running the operations directly, not to come to work today. we don't have confirmation for that from the russian side, the russian side. and it has accused ukraine of a staging publication or preparing a publication today in that power plan. it's a very muddy situation and what ukrainians are saying is that and have had and

similar incidences. when rhetoric uses ukraine of doing something, it's often people here read it like in like an announcement of something that the russians are preparing. so it's very, very difficult situation. what we know is, from sources is context into the town of and now where the power plant is and into the power plant is that the situation seems to be very chaotic inside the power plant, with munitions and weapons and military equipment stock. they're close to the reactors or even inside some facilities and the russian . so which is putting pressure on the employees. so it's a very 10. it's a very dangerous situation. now that john declaration was occupied by russian forces back in march with the phil operated by ukrainian staff. ma is we come back

to you in a moment, but 1st i did have you got to speak with an engineer who's get the plant? that's a look oh god is worried, she has not been able to reach her colleagues for days. until recently, the engineer worked at this up. what is she a nuclear power plant out of which all got managed to escape? she tries to communicate with employees still on site, but it's becoming increasingly difficult. no, most of them i would say that 70 percent of my colleagues no longer show up for work. they're simply too afraid. you can imagine what that means for the ongoing operations, and especially for security precautions on site, that the lobby of all god doesn't want to be recognized for fear of retaliation. russian troops seized the nuclear lens and the 1st weeks of war. since then, ukraine says, though russians have been turning the facility into a military fortress,

but have been several accidents and shelling of buildings on the premises. on one occasion, the emergency power system had to be activated abuse than you had lush on closure. they useless site to put pressure on the ukrainian governmental to blackmail them away. now the power plant is currently a big trouble card in the war. oh gosh, for the towns may or there's only one solution, a complete withdrawal of the russians from the plant. we reach them by phone and his makes of office and a neighboring town upon to read. the occupiers are currently breaking all the rules that have been established for nuclear safety, with the even fire multiplying rocket launchers right from the grounds of the power plant. i hope they will find a solution on an international level to demilitarised the entire site. hopefully, we've gotten responsive, sometimes over receive cellphone videos from colleagues showing the dangerous

situation or wrong. the power plant here, a bunch of recreational center close to the facility, memories of that shall not be a disaster. come to her mind. double didn't know yet. i'm afraid that this could turn out to be 10 times worse local ins. appreciate we have 6 reactors and a storage facility for nuclear fuel compared to that nature noble was a miniature version. in the meantime, olga has found a job in here 400 kilometers away in a nuclear emergency. she and her son would probably not be safe here either. she says, but in wartime, nowhere is completely safe. the i'm for the prose reporting them at his billing. i still with us in a v for the situation at a, as a parisha, a plant dominated the talks. but according to the turkish thought, the meeting was actually meant to be about finding peace was anything achieved there. well, that's what edwin is saying. he wants to start a piece process and he wants to be the media to the broke of this piece. this of

course, is something that has a lot to do with his personal ambitions. he has obtained a firm rejection from as a lensky zalinski pointing out that russia still shelling a residential areas and civilian infrastructure with messiahs, and that he can not see any auto. he does not have any trust that the russian side would be any how interested in peace. that also is in line with what russia has been saying so far. although they have said that they would be ready for peace talks. they have also said that apiece would be on the condition that her ukraine basically surrenders ukraine or to landscape has said yesterday that he thinks the precondition for peace tools for talks about how the 2 countries could co exist in the future would be russian troops leaving ukraine, and that's not something that's going to happen any time soon. as much as it grew.

terrace visit visit is not over yet. is it? no, he's continuing to odessa. this is was another big topic of course. it gutierrez and ad on how made a big diplomatic have had a big diplomatic success and brokering that a great deal that allows grain from ukrainian ports to be shipped out via the boss for us to ports all over the world. and the 3 have of course, talked about that they have agreed that they would undertake further diplomatic efforts to speed up the grain shipments. and this is probably more than like, if we, if we talk about further diplomatic options, then deals on specific issues like this. one would be the more probable way than to start some kind of piece works. but he has pulling up a reporting from the living in western ukraine. thank you much years

now, let's have a look at some of the other stories making headlines today. security forces insta don, have used t aghast to disperse thousands of demonstrators calling for civilian rule. the army stage to cool last year and military leader up there for todd han has pledged to step aside for a civilian government. but protesters do not believe torrential rains have caused flooding and landslides on the new zealand south islands. some 400 homes were evacuated and a state of emergency declared 3 regents after they received more than double the average drain for, for this month at the reins are for our forecasts to continue firefighters and algeria managed to bring a series of forest fires on the control but not before they killed at least 38 people and left hundreds more with burns. i was spiritual problems, survivors are taking stock off the tragic consequences and asking why more wasn't

done to stop the flames spread. ah, it was in this scorched bath, that 12 people suffered that terrifying last moment. as the flames of algeria as wildfires drew closer, they were suddenly surrounded. they couldn't get away in time. out, the road was closed and there was no escape. you can see for yourself the fire covered the whole region. young children were among the victims who died inside the boston. they died holding on to each other. a wave of wildfires has swept throughout curious forest, killing dozens, and injuring hundreds of others. beliefs during temperatures of up to $48.00 degrees celsius have turned large areas into a tinderbox climate change is turning this into an annual event. jeff last year, over a 100 people lost their lives in massive wildfires. despite this many algerians

feel that lessons from that disaster will not land authorities have been accused of not being prepared and lacking fire fighting aircraft. one, contracted by such aircraft from spain was torn up over a diplomatic dispute in june ramos. oh no, no smell. people died and nobody came from the ira where the plains to combat the fires. children and babies died here. they went to god. we had to wait 3 hours for help to arrive to do that damage. i know well that way i bet joan prime minister amen. enough to run an assured victims and their families that the state would support them and said the government had ordered for a new fire fighting and craftily enough enough. others are not. with the climate hating up algeria will no doubt face catastrophic wildfires. again, the question that remains is, if thou be prepared for them in ethiopia, the group is challenging. the stereotype that girls shouldn't be involved in sports

. if the opium girls cases bring together girls from different backgrounds to learn skateboarding and they say, it's been beneficial to both their physical and mental health. oh, every saturday these skaters meet to learn new tricks, how to nail a landing, how to find their balance and how to push back against gender stereotypes. so when it, when you being a woman or a girl, it's very hard, even to a kid around a girl, the boys. it's kind of really hard because people, things are like goals. she does to help their parents at the house. the all female group was founded by so sienna charla, 3 years ago, after she broke away from the nonprofit, ethiopia skate since then, it's taught more than 150 girls to skate. it's not really calling for a girl to start skating. and because people don't support you, but somebody had to be the for some group had to start and we were the 1st one. and

i feel honored to be part of that in a country grappling with an ongoing civil war. opportunities for young people can be scarce. sheila, andrew co founder and mickey as far hope they can provide a positive outlet for pent up frustrations. of the girls need more attention on different type of extreme sports. so that's why the project is important for us. so there are a lot of girls in the streets with no jobs, and lot of girls who need more activities to be busy on than spending their time in that areas and doing bad thing. so we give them time here to teach them how to skateboard you've helped me to defeat my 1st and not give them anything a lot. let me see, i've only tablets of me being a girl and doing that stuff,

which is not something that normally for the best as i feel like it's, i just enjoy it. it's, it's, it makes me happy, can do this. i can explain it in this pocket. of the cap and o at is about by the girls are very much on board with claiming their place on the rams. and that's it from me and the news team for now, i'll have an update for you at the top or the all new show of support for taiwan as the us pledges to strengthen spray ties. stephen bessie has that ah departure to the to day this meets flying to a foreign planet in the 16th century, it meant being a captain and setting sail to discover a route.
