sure, full of hardships and death 3 years and that will change the world for ever. my jillions journey around the world, starting september 7th on d. w. ah, this is dw news life from berlin. the un secretary general says ukraine's energy is you christ, antonio quoterush calls on russia not to cut the separation nuclear plant from ukraine's power grid, which is most of those plant. according to keith, germany, sent new troops to molly. to help with peacekeeping,

bought their intentions over the host nation hiring russian most and raised to battle insurgents. ah, i've been for sewland, 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 good terrace is calling for a safe zone around the russian occupied separation nuclear plat. each side accuses the other of shuttling the plant. keep also claims. russia is planning to cut 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 it's necessary, especially during the winter, for of ukrainian people. and these principle must be fully respected.

our correspond john phillips schoultz 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, which harris 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, and especially for security precautions on site. that the hub here, olga doesn't want to be recognized, or fear of retaliation. russian troops seized the nuclear plant 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. when you had lush on persia, they useless site to put pressure on the ukrainian governmental to blackmail them, showing on the power plant is currently a big trouble card in the war. but gosh, 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 the,

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 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'll chernobyl was a miniature version. in the meantime, olga has found to drop 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. and phillip,

let's pick up on the other topic of a day grain shipments or so 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 grandiose has actually become a reality here in ukraine. as you know, the united nations and starkey have been crucial when it's k a when it comes when it's when the deal was negotiated. and now it was a big moments for whatever 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 far. a common good dw corresponded young phillip shots for us in odessa. thank you very much for bringing us up to date a brief look at some other stories making news. russia's gas promise, switching off gas deliveries to europe through the north stream, one pipeline for 3 days from the end of the month. the reason it gives maintenance the announcements and gas prices soaring. moscow was blamed problems importing a repaired turbine for a recent carrying supplies. challenge as low as i've sold says denied any wrong

fil doubts remain over the future of the mission. as molly is using russian mercenaries to fight a 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, marilyn, this minister has brought us nothing but problems. it would be better if they left . and allison very little whenever he was in the family for myself, they have assisted molly in training and on many levels, including financial and moral support. for this, it looks like we cannot say there are no benefits with them on this corporation has been a win for all parties. tensions between germany and the military, junta and molly have been growing mainly because by macros use of russian contractors. german for a minister, bab 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 molly that there is no co operation with russian actors here on the ground. here for what it is. putting a little 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 you fall, it is clear that marley is changing. it strategy was the rat mercenaries want to get there. they have father interests. they want to get the mineral resources and then let themselves be paid in doing what the government wants. 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. the war and ukraine has destroyed much of the nation's rich cultural heritage. irreplaceable artifacts have been lost. historic buildings, museums and religious sites bombed, but now a new high tech project is often ukrainians, the chance to preserve the heritage in digital form. a 3 d scanning app called back up ukraine sends a detailed model of an object to an online database along with its location. the apps being downloaded over 6000 times. david levitz joins us from the culture desk . could this technology deter the russians in some way they know these cultural treasures are 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, this 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 other people. and that is why 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 credit, but also a russian, a religious sites, which is absolutely crazy if you think about it, so much overlap and these 2 cultures. yeah. tell us

a bit more about how the app actually works. 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 until just a little while ago. 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 in 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 of the 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 it. david levitz, thank you very much for coming and remind her of the top story way. following for

you this hour, the un secretary general antonio would cherish his cold on rush, had not to cough this apparition, nuclear power plant from ukraine grid. cape says russia is planning a provocative act that the facility of next documentary on urban evolution, how animals and plants are being forced to adapt to our cities. i've been puzzling the same time tomorrow nicole furnish will have your next news updates next out of like a vibrant habitat attended, glistening place along the mediterranean sea scene of muster. and so far, abdul karim drift along with.
