for because no one should have to flee make up your own mind. t w. made for mines. ah, ah ah, this is dw news ly, from berlin. the un secretary general says ukraine's energy is ukraine's and tony go quoterush coals on russia not to cut the separation nuclear power plant from ukraine's grid, which is moscow's plant, according to keep. chancellor old sholtes testify that an inquiry into germany's

biggest tact scandal, but says he can't remember crucial details. germany sends new troops to molly to help with peacekeeping their attentions over the host nation hiring russian most raised to battling surgeons. ah, i've been fizzle and welcome a top level visit to ukraine and a stern warning to brush up. the head of the united nations has restated concerns over the safety of europe's biggest nuclear power station. and tony, you'll go cherish is calling for a safe zone around the russian occupied separation nuclear power plant. each side accuses the other of shelling the plaid key val, so claims. russia is planning to con electricity produced at the facility from its power network. visiting the port of odessa quoterush had a clear message from moscow. obviously, the electricity from support each year is ukrainian electricity. and the,

it's necessary, especially during the winter ford of ukrainian people. and these people must be fully respected. a correspond down for the sholtes is also in odessa. i asked him about safety concerns over those separation plant. yes, indeed, the danger surrounding the power plants and supper asia have actually overshadowed much of which adders visits your in ukraine. ukrainian officials claim that they have information that russians are blending some kind of provocation at the nuclear power plant. so that's how they call it says some kind of provocation. but at the same time, a situation is since it's still not so gets better. gutierrez has demanded several times and he has repeated it to day, that there has to be

a demilitarization of the entire sites, but the russians have already rejected this plan. so the big question now is if for gutierrez, will at least be successful to help an international team of inspectors get access to, to this plant. in theory, ukraine and russia both agree that there should be a visit of these international inspectors. but they disagree or burn, it comes to the conditions we were able to talk to some of the workers at the nuclear power plant yesterday. and so maybe we can have a look what they had to say. 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 more percentage and 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, special and nice, especially for security precautions on site that up here. all god doesn't want to be recognized for fear of tele h. russian troops sees 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. when you flush on persia, they use this site to put pressure on the ukrainian governmental to blackmail them . laying on the power plant is currently a big trouble card in the war, but gosh, it's for the towns mayor. there's only one solution,

a complete withdrawal up 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 multiplan 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. we've gotten responsive, sometimes over receive cellphone videos from colleagues showing the dangerous situation a wrong. the power plant here, a bumps, odd recreational center close to the facility. memories of that shall not be a disaster. come to her mind, doubled it. no, i'm afraid that this could turn out to be 10 times worse. local ins, parisha, we have 6 reactors and a storage facility for nuclear fuel. compared to that, no chernobyl was a miniature version. in the meantime, olga has found to drop in ts 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 and fill it. let's pick up on the other topic of the day . grain shipments are there are still millions of tons stuck in ukraine. they have been shipments exported, but i guess there are parts of the world that still need a lot more than what's coming out of ukraine. yes, exactly, and this is why good header sir was here today. the part of odessa is probably the most symbolic girl place when it comes to the so called, so a grain deal. the secretary general said that he was very emotional when he saw that this grain deal has actually become a reality here in ukraine. as you know, the united nations and starkey have been crucial, or when it came when they were coming when it were when the deal was negotiated.

and now it was a big moments, a fog, whichever she said, a to, to see it with his own eyes, that ships are actually leaving the parts of odessa. this is important for ukraine, but it is also important for a lot of poor countries around the world. that needs the grain urgently. this is why the secretary general also appeals to rich countries to open their hearts. and their wallet, as he said, are so bad, sir. the poor countries can actually afford this a grain. now, in his own words, he sets a desa has become a place that shows what the world can do when it comes to gather far. a common good dw corresponded young phillip shots for us in odessa. thank you very much for bringing us up to date. german chancellor. all i've sold has been testifying as an inquiry into the country's biggest financial scandal. lawmakers in hamburg, want to know about meeting salts,

had with one of the banks involved in the so called co ex affair companies and investors, allegedly defrauded the state of billions of euro's schoultz was the mayor of hamburg at the time. it's the 2nd time shots had been called to give evidence. he says he doesn't remember any details about the meetings. what did he know when for years now, we'll have charles has not been able to shake off germany's biggest ever tech scandal. when he was may of hamburg, he met with official, it's from var book bank it out. the city of hamburg, 47000000 euros for claiming refunds on texas. it never paid after sholtes met the banks. officials hamburg authorities dropped their demands at 1st. sholtes falsely claimed those meetings didn't happen, but was proven wrong. now he says he cannot remember what was discussed and stresses there's no connection between his meetings and the city backing down. it

is unlikely that he cannot remember anything from this meetings. during those meetings or phone calls, it was about nearly $50000000.00 euro for his city in tax revenue. the whole aspect of working here with this alarming tactic of just admitting what he has to admit and once more has been proven, he will admit more, obviously makes it that much more doubtful that there is just no memory at all. prosecutors do not see any breach of the law and emphasize that the chancellor is not a target of the investigation. yet the scandal is back in the headlines because a former handbook m, p from shelters, party, had stashed away 200000 duras in cash. and that and peace district had received money from verbal bank before. nobody knows where the cash came from. and shoulds has denied any knowledge. what do you know about the cash in the former and p safe deposit box? nothing. next question. where do you think it came from? jacqueline?

i no idea. i guess you know better than i do. whatever emerges from today's hearing . it surely won't be the end of the story. i'm joined now by dw is chief political correspondent, melinda crane. melinda, besides saying nist's and kind of odd on that he doesn't know what else did all actual to have to say in hamburg? well, he said essentially what we have heard from him before both at the prior a meeting of this committee at which he also testified and also in various comments to the press, including at his summer press conference essentially that there was no political influence on the decision of the financial authority in hamburg, when it essentially allowed the vote warburg bank to get away with not repaying over $40000000.00 euros in tax liabilities

that it had had not paid. and he said that of all of the witnesses that the committee has heard of all of the various documentary evidence that has been produced. none of it had provided any indication that there had been political influence by him or others. and he said that in multiple formulations in the course of the inquiry, and then said that basically any claim to the contrary represented just pure allegations and presumptions. and that he very much hoped that these could now be laid to rest. but the fact is, there are new developments that continue to emerge about this tax scandal, which as you said, is, is germany's biggest. and therefore, it is quite likely that the story will go on and it is possible that he will be called to speak again in front of the investigator. certainly one of the members of

the hamburg city government who comes from the opposition. kristen democratic party said that he assumed that would be the case. melinda, he's not a target in this investigation, but the fact is, ever since he's become chancellor and even before then, his name is repeatedly linked by germans to this affair. that's correct. i. the hamburg prosecutor said once again this week that the chancellor is not a target, but it is of course, an ongoing investigation. and even if this doesn't amount to a legal issue for the chancellor, it is certainly a political one because his communication style that he has adopted not only here in regard to the co max scandal, but also in other cases as well as being very minimalistic of essentially only

speaking to the immediate question at hand and seeing as little as possible. this is coming under increasing criticism as not being the kind of transparent forthright communication that is needed by a country facing multiple crises. so to some degree his credibility has been damaged and then of course, there's a question of his party, the social democrats, they portray themselves as the party of the working man, working woman, and any suggestion that they may, their leaders may have been soft on financial wrong doing by big capital would be very problematic for them. so certainly regional elections in the s p t stronghold of lower saxony in october could indicate whether s p d voters find all of this troubling, specially at a time where everyone's being told to save energy and save money, walla inflation goes up and then so to energy prices, melinda crane. thank you very much for the analysis. and let's get you up to speed

on some other stories making headlines today. the strategy has criticized indonesians decision to reduce the sentence of a terrorist convicted over the 2003 bali bombings. the man could be free within days, $202.00 people, including $88.00 of straightens, were killed when militants attacked. the tourist districts in bali. apple is one of the major security floor that could allow hackers to take control of devices uses of i phones. i pads and macs, i've been advised to update their software. apple is not said how many customers are affected. finland's prime minister says she has never taken drugs in her life and has taken a test to prove it. sentiment has been criticized this week of, of footage, showing her partying and dancing with celebrity friends. the test results were expected. next week. germany says it's resumed troop rotations in marley, just days after a dispute sold german aircraft turn around,

mid flight. berlin suspended it's peacekeeping operations, where molly's military government refused access, but doubts remain over the future of the mission. because molly is using russian mercenaries to fight a long running jihadist insurgency. the french may have left, but international troops are still in marley. among them around 1000 germans, part of the u. n. backed me no small peacekeeping mission. there are mixed feelings about them. being there, melanie minas, mom has brought us nothing but problems. it would be better if they left that very little whenever he's off, if i'm ready for my feel, they have assisted molly in training and on many levels, including financial and moral support for we cannot say there are no benefits. with this corporation has been a win for all parties. tensions between germany in the military,

junta and mildly have been growing mainly because by macros use of russian contractors. german for a minister babel grace this during a trip to marley in april dasa my. i'm doing this was my urgent appeal. why it's so important, including for the protection of civilians in miley that there is no co operation with russian actors here on the ground here for what it really quickly drove. the regime and marley has been criticized for working with the russian wagner mercenary group, which is being accused of atrocities against civilians. new ballot mar, lira troops, and russian uniform. all of a mildly. so when you form, it is clear that marley is changing. it strategy was the rat mercenaries want to get there. they have further interest. they want to get the mineral resources and then let themselves be paid in doing what the government wants us to you like you are. while the russian government has confirmed that wagner personnel are in marley,

the maryan government still claims that they are instructors from the official russian military. but these contradictions are further undermining trust between berlin and by michael. and they are making a complete pull out by german troops, more likely by the day. political scientist, nick, i leave bug a joke or is chair of the african security sector network. i asked her why the mission in molly is proving so difficult. i think it is very important to make a difference. big twins it withdrawal of french troops which where the plight whizzing this so cool back out of their ation, which is an n t a g heavy force. it is completely indifferent as we are. you el nino sma rules monday. he didn't not to fight till reason. it is a monday 80 to see boards implementation of the peace agreement sign in 2015 and

also to protect civilians. the problem is that all those duties of us had been embodied by the a my hands are sorry of mosley, as regards investigations of human rights and museums and bulls by the mazda and military to my, in military and russians and partners. but also because they freedom of movement in the air or on the wrong. i've also been very difficult to condense because of rules, very streaks which have been decided by the 1000000 authorities. if germany were to withdraw its troops, though, as well as france, what would that mean to the overall un peacekeeping mission? i think that does it mean you smile when you smile is a very for giles mission because they're really position of his mandates. unless

you, i decided in number of provision, wish as the man authorities have immediately indicated that there will not agree to employment. there been an incident also which had involved a german troops at which is related to it. for t 9, i learned soldiers, which where you fall in the framework of national supports ellen to predict, thus a german troops, which is also alice of problems. but if the old, those international troops, including not only a german, but also asian, also as suspended, is a ppo variation and the drum. i'm not sure it will make a difference in the eyes of the man public opinion as shown in that you are very good reports. we guess is or is that there is lots of sick g season,

among public opinion. because all dove international actors are seen as not adding, being able to change the deterioration of the situation on the ground, especially as regards a cd, it's political scientists, new alibaba jo cohen parish, thank you very much for joining us there from the african security sector network the warren ukraine has laid waste to the nation's rich cultural heritage. bombing and shelling of damaged or destroyed historic buildings, museums, and religious sites. but a new project is promising to safeguard at ukrainian culture, at least in digital for russia's missiles threaten ukrainians, lives, and also their cultural fabric. for months, volunteers have been working to save ukraine's heritage from russian attacks. now a new digital project offers a different way to preserve that heritage. 3 d scanning up back up ukraine,

turns ordinary ukrainians into digital archivists. the app turns their photos into 3 d models and on tag to their precise location and save to a secure online database in the cloud. where now bombs can reach architect and key of resident maxim, communion has already contributed more than 100 smartphone scans to the project. yes, would you want a paper due to the warning? i hope this project will significantly help ukraine and its future generations still a good so far. yeah. because if a historical monument, a sculpture, no were historical building is destroyed, it will be possible to restore it appear in the same material and size. everything can be identical. what would the in fiji, so even if artworks are destroyed,

they won't completely disappear. the apps founders want to safeguard ukraine's culture from the horrors of war. it can be used the thought of as a reference for, for reconstructing. it can be used as a constant form and can also just be used as a form of documentation. i guess the form of preservation. that is, it technically will last for ever downloaded more than $6000.00 times. the app is on its way to preserving ukraine's irreplaceable cultural heritage. david levitz jones is from d. l e z culture desk. could this technology deter the russians in some way if they know these cultural treasures being documented in such detail? well, i would like to believe so bend, but i think that's probably wishful thinking at this point. what is important though, is to document all of this culture that cultural heritage and any damages or losses . and not just so that it can potentially be recreated in the worst case scenario. but also for the, for the investigation of potential workers, because it is

a war crime to intentionally destroy the cultural heritage of a country or of a people. and that is what ukraine is accusing russia of doing. the ukrainian government says that russia is targeting culture, specifically in an effort to wipe out ukrainian identity, and they're collecting figures on this well over $400.00 sites and cultural objects documented destroyed or damaged by the you carry in the go cultural ministry. and you ask, has been confirming a lot of these, including 76 religious sites, 13 museums, 34 historical buildings, 17 monuments and 8 libraries. and of course, we don't know what's going to happen next. and not only you claim, but also a russian, a religious sites, which is absolutely crazy if you think about it, so much overlap in these 2 cultures. yeah. tell us a bit more about how the app actually was. well, it works. the way it works is that users basically use their phone to take lots and

lots of pictures of a cultural object. it works really well with sculptures with taller buildings, you really need a drone or at least a ladder. and then these photos are uploaded and an algorithm puts them together and makes a 3 d model out of them. a 3 d scan. and now, yes, these 3 d scans have been around for a while. but what's really exciting is that they're becoming so much more accessible to normal people. this technology was not accessible to people without really expensive equipment. and so just a little while. so it is also about quantity. is the technology being used elsewhere in the world? well, it has, i mean this app is specifically for ukraine, but of course it has the potential to be used in all war and conflict zones. and also 3 d modeling is used in non war zones as well in cultural heritage preservation. a great example of that is actually the great wall of china. we're drones made a 3 d model of it and an algorithm looked for potential weak points and gaps

in the wall and even suggested how to fix them. now, that's just one example. if they excite exciting potential of this technology to come back to a war zone like ukraine, though it's really important when you have these digital copies to make sure that they are stored on international servers. because internet infrastructure exists in the real world too. so all the servers and hard drives exist in the real world. and actually it's a reason that a lot of librarians, programmers archivists in ukraine are working day and night to get digital copies of cultural goods on to international servers, off the servers of ukrainian cultural institutions. and get them into it's a safety good to david levitz. thank you very much for coming. and let's get you up to speed on some other stories making headlines. a judge in new york state has refused fail for the man accused of trying to kill ortho salman
