ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. the un secretary general says ukraine's energy is ukraine's antonio would cherish calls on russia not to count the separation nuclear power plant from ukraine's grid, which is moscow's plan. according to keith. chancellor, old of shoulds testifies at an inquiry into germany's biggest tax scandal that says

he can't remember crucial details. germany sent new troops to molly to help with peacekeeping their attentions over the host nation, hiring russian mercenaries to battle insurgence and the mystery of the dying fish. thousands of washed up on river banks and poland and germany. now, scientists may have an answer to why a river ran dead like ah, i've been visible and welcome a top level visit to ukraine and a stern warning to russia. the head of the united nations has restated concerns over the safety of europe's biggest nuclear power station. antonio terrace is calling for a safe zone around the rush and occupied separation nuclear plant. each side accuses the other of shelling the facilitate. keep also claims. russia is planning to con electricity produced the facility from its power network. visiting the port

of odessa quoterush had a clear message from oscar. obviously, the electricity from zip codes here is ukrainian electricity. and it's necessary, especially during the winter ford of ukrainian people. and these pretty simple must be fully respected. a correspond down for the shult is also in odessa. i began by asking him about safety concerns over the separation plant. yes, indeed, the danger surrounding the power plants and supper asia. i 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 a 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 that 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, the guy is worried. she has not been able to reach her colleagues for days until

recently. the engineer worked at the support, is she a nuclear power plant, which olga 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 most, especially for security precautions on site. that the hub here, olga doesn't want to be recognized for fear of retaliation. russian troops sees the nuclear lens in 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. then you could lush on culture, they use this site to put pressure on the ukranian,

governmental to blackmail them away. now the power plant is currently a big trouble card in the war. oh gosh, for the towns mayor, there's only one solution, a complete withdrawal of the russians from the plant. we reach them by phone in 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 around the power plant here, a bunch of recreational center close to the facility. memories of the cia knobby 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, no chernobyl was

a miniature version. in the meantime, olga has found a job in kias 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 filled. let's pick up on the other topic of the day . grain shipments are still millions of tons stuck in ukraine. they have been shipments exported, but i guess they're a part 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 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 grande a has actually become a reality here. and ukraine, as you know,

the united nations and starkey have been crucial when it came a comment when it's when the deal was negotiated. and now it was a big moment for good terror. she said 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, is so bad, so 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 for common. good dw corresponded young philip sholtes for us in odessa. thank you very much for bringing us up to date. a quick look at some other stories making use around the

world. indonesia says the leaders of russia and china planning to attend the g 20 summit in barley in november. the hosts have been under pressure to exclude russian president vladimir putin over the wall. ukraine's leader is also invited. australia has criticized indonesia as decision to reduce the sentence of a terrorist convicted over the 2002 bali bombings. the mag could be released on parole within days of a $200.00 people. many of them australians were killed when militants attacked the tourist. this district in barley and finland's prime minister says she's never taken alyssa drugs in her life and has taken a drugs test. santa marin has been criticized over footage, showing her dancing with celebrity friends. the test results are expected. next week. chancellor, all i've showed has been testifying at an inquiry into germany's biggest financial scandal. lawmakers in hamburg want to know about meeting sold, had with one of the banks involved in the so called co max affair. companies and

investors, allegedly defrauded the state of billions of euros schultz was the mayor of hamburg at the time. it's the 2nd time felts has 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 officials 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 shots 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 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 padi, had stashed away 200000 duras and 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 foreground? 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. a chief political correspondent melinda crane, told me more about what sholtes had to say in havoc. 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 out 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. ah, 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 committee scandal, but also in other cases as well as being very minimalistic of essentially only speaking to the immediate question at hand and saying 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. germany has resume trip rotations in mali. auster dispute saw german aircraft turn round mid flight. berlin suspended its peacekeeping

operations, but molly's military government refused access. still doubts remain over the future of the mission. as molly, as using russian mercenaries to fight a g at as 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 know, sma peacekeeping mission. there are mixed feelings about them being there. melanie minima has brought us nothing but problems. it would be better if they left a fair lyric whenever he lost them. if i'm a year for myself, they have assisted molly in training and on many levels, including financial and moral support. we cannot say there are no benefits. a month is, corporation has been a win for all parties. tension between germany and the military, junta and mildly have been growing mainly because by macros use of russian

contractors, german for a minister barber grace this during a trip to marley in april dasa my i'm giving 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 is putting all it over 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, my lira troops and russian uniform all over marley. when the fall it is clear that marley is changing, the tragedy was the rutter mercenaries want to get there. they have father interests. they want to get the mineral resources and then let themselves be paid and doing what the government wants. while the russian government has confirmed that wagner personnel are in marley, the 1000000 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 scientists now got the bug, a joke, o is chair of the african security sector network. i asked her why the mission and 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 plugs are 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 moves monday. he didn't not to fight till raisin e g 's. redmond, 82, you boards, implementation of the peace agreement, signed in 2015 and also to protect civilians. the problem is

that, oh, those are and duties of us have been embodied by the a man, i'll sorry, of motley as regards investigations of human rights and uses and bulls by the mazda and military and 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 the rules, very freaks 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 it is a miss my you, when you smile is a very for giant mission because there renegotiation of his mandates. in last june,

i decided a number of from asian wish. as the man authorities have immediately indicated that there will not agree to employment there been any she didn't also, which had involved a german troops at which is related to it for t 9 either and soldiers which wears to pause in the framework of national supports . ellen to predict, thus a german troops, which is also i was of problems. but if the old, those international troops, including not only a german, but also asian, also as suspended as they operations, a grand, i'm not sure it will make a difference in the eyes of the 1000000 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 those international actors are seen as not having been 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. and some of the other stories making headlines. apple has warned of a security flaw the could give hackers control of devices. the u. s. tech giant says uses should update the software on their i, phones i pads and i max. apple is not said how many customers are affected. while fire in spain is gathering place despite heavy rain. the fire in valencia has been burning for 5 days. strong winds of fanning the flames, spain as recorded hundreds of wildfires this year. to rental brains, of course, flooding and land slides on use in south island. hundreds of homes are evacuated at

a state of emergency declared. after more than double the average rent for this month, more heavy rain is full cost. research is investigating the mass death of fish in the river order at the german polish border say the most likely cause is industrial discharge. the order has in large scale growth of toxic algae flourishes, insulting conditions. it doesn't grow in such a large quantities under normal conditions. the polish environment ministry has announced investigation well, let's talk about this with my water policy officer with friends of the earth. germany, thanks for being on the show. what more can you tell us about is out that supposed to be responsible for the kill? yes. hello, likeness institute for for fresh water ecology and inland fisheries is a that's all right. it's

a, it's a top institute in germany and they're doing the main research, and they made a sample about it. and just a few, one hour ago they published a new press release in cooperation, university of vienna. that analyzed that a lot of um yeah, and there were about a toxic brackish water egg. and now the toxic situation could be really proved. how did it actually develop? the auto river is really currently under big stress because we have hot temperatures in germany and low water level. and zara extreme must have been ment of the tectonic egg. now there it is dominant and all samples.

and so the cost is probably a man made a thought pollution has taken place. there is a copper mine, copper mill in global and central poland. and this is suspicious for it. what can be done to, to stop this from happening again or continuing to have that is a good question because we had a situation comparable to this in 986 as of a ryan as i was an accident at a chemical factory in boston. and switzerland and then a toxic yeah. water got into the ryan and after that alarm and plans were developed for the rhine and commission

and sees alarm plans were also transferred to a national water systems. so the international commission forced to protect the robot. audra has such kind of alarm plan. this is also tested once per year, but probably on polish side officers did not cost this alarm plan. and just briefly, how easy will it be to store the river to its full health? the hope is this could go on very fast because a, then it is a vague, a thought concentration it ran into the baltic sea. then hopefully a fish can come back from as i robust for example, as, as a huge rubber about

a rubber which has many fish and fish are very mobile. however, as are any most, it is very difficult for my thank you very much for the analysis on that story. you're welcome. the war in ukraine has laid waste to the nation's rich cultural heritage. bombing and shelling at damaged or destroyed historic buildings, museums, religious sites. but a new project is promising to safeguard ukrainian culture, at least in digital form. 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 out back up ukraine, turns ordinary ukrainians into digital archivists. the up turns their photos into 3 d models, tag to their precise location and save to

a secure online database in the cloud. when now bombs can reach architect and key of resident maxim, communion has already contributed more than 100 smartphone scans to the project. yes, what do i have paper due to the warning? i hope this project will significantly help ukraine and its future generations still with no, you're good so far, you know, because of a historical monument, a sculpture. no, we're historical building is destroyed. it will be possible to restore it appear in the same material and size laws. everything can be identical. what will the in fiji so even if art works 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 reconstruction. it can be used as

a constant form and it 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. you're watching t w use coming up g w. news asia with melissa chan. after the break. we can always get the latest news and updates on our website, the w dot com. i've been for julian from the entire team and meet it at dw in berlin. thank you very much with with
