for 3 years that would change the world forever. my jillions journey around the world. start september 7th on d. w. ah . this is d w. news line from berlin. the un secretary general says ukraine's energy belongs to ukraine. antonia good perish calls on russian not to cut this upper region nuclear power plant from you came ukraine's power grid. something key of says moscow is planning to do. also coming up in the program,

germany sends new troops to molly to help with peace keeping with our tensions over the host nation to hiring russian mercenaries to battle insurgents. and finland, prime minister says she did nothing wrong parting with friends. now, santa marina has taken a drug test to prove her point and silence her critics. ah, american children, thank you for joining us. a top level visit to crane and a stern warning to russia. the head of the united nations has reiterated concerns over the safety of europe's biggest nuclear power station. and tony quoterush is calling for a safe zone around the russian occupied the patricia nuclear power plant. each side accuses the other of shelley, the facility key of also claims russia is planning to cut electricity produced at the facility from his power network. visiting the port of odessa quoterush had

a clear message for moscow. obviously, the electricity from zip codes here is ukrainian electricity, and it's necessary, especially during the winter ford of ukrainian people. and these people must be fully respected with all eyes and appreciate. we asked our correspondent young philip sholtes to give us the latest on the volatile situation at the nuclear power plant. well, after our days of horrible news, there are some potentially good news. so during a phone call with a friend president my call hootin agreed to a mission of international inspectors for at the power plant. this is remarkable because he seems to agree to ukrainian demands to let the inspectors travel through ukrainian or controlled territories. so this is a huge,

a step forward. of course we have to see if he will really stick to this announcements. there have been very many misleading announcements in the past. and in the meantime, a situation at the power plant remains highly dangerous. a lot of international experts say that it's not only the shelling of the plan that is so dangerous, but also the increasing risks are increasing risk of potential power cuts that could lead to a serious overheating of the reactors with disastrous consequences. let's take a look now at some other stories making headlines at this hour. 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 moscow gives is maintenance. the announcements set gas prices soaring once again. moscow has blamed problems importing a repair turbine for recent cuts and supplies. at least 14

people have been killed and dozens wounded in a rocket attack on a crowded market in the town of alba in northern syria. the area is controlled by tricky backed opposition fighters. the syrian observatory for human rights says syrian government forces were behind the attack police a gun and have taken control of a hotel and the smaller capital, mogadishu, following a car bombing, glass and gunfire. feel cradling to elijah bob group has claimed responsibility for the attack on the on hyatt hotel. it is a popular venue among wall makers and other government officials. germany has sent fresh troops to molly following a dispute, which saw a gunman, aircraft turn around in mid air. berlin suspected or suspended. rather, it's peculiar operations. when molly's military government refused access, still doubts remain over the future of the mission. as molly is using russian

mercenaries to fight jihadist insurgencies, 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. madeline minima has brought us nothing but problems. it would be better if they left that a fair let if, whenever you can, 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. tensions between germany and the military junta and molly 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 molly that there is no co operation with russian act as 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, my lira troops and russian uniform. all of my leisure. when you fall, it is clear that marley is changing it strategy was the retro 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. now it's a tale of tax fraud worthy of a hollywood film. the multi $1000000.00 com ex scheme enabled many to get rich by falsely reclaiming tax rebates. that was until authorities in germany got wind of it and closed the scheme down years later, questions or been asked about what chancellor will show it's new when he was mayor of hamburg. he's been given evidence at a hearing in the city to day. schultz has been facing some difficult questions. lo maker is that the inquiry in hamburg want to know whether he helped a local private bank avoid paying back millions and taxes. when sholtes was deceit is mer him at officials from var board bank, which owed the cd. 47000000 euros for claiming refunds on taxes. it never paid. after those meetings, hamburg authorities dropped, they payment demands at 1st, sholtes claimed he never met with the banks representatives. this was later proved

to be wrong. now he says he cannot remember what was discussed and stresses. there is no connection between his meetings and the cd back in 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, you will admit more means that much more doubtful that there is no memory at all. prosecutor stressed the chancellor is not the target of investigation. speaking after the hearing shots had he acted appropriately, he had to meet off. i admit i had prepared myself for it to take longer. but the fact that it was done quick and speedy, also speaks for the fact that everything is now on the table. and one can also draw

the clear conclusion. there was nothing. there was no influence kind of just not a good game. turned on. this was the chancellor's 2nd appearance before the investigators. his political opponents already seen. it shouldn't be. the last or chief political correspondent melinda crane, told us more about what charles had to say in hamburg. well, he said essentially what we have heard from him before both at the prior meeting of this committee at which he also testified. and also in various comments to the press, including december press conference, essentially, that there was no political influence on the decision of the financial authority in hamburg, when it essentially allowed the 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 finance prime minister santa marine has defended her right to private life after a video of her parting with friends was looked online. the video showing maureen with well known influences, an artist has brought accusations of reckless behavior. martin said she did nothing illegal and has taken a drug test to prove it. ah,

an innocent night out with friends or dereliction of public duty. finland's prime minister santa marine is it pains to prove it was the coma. after this video showing her partying and speculation about drug taking went viral opposition parties demanded proof. she'd not consumed an illegal substance. 7 bought it on either through lexia eric, i consider these accusations very serious on though i think the demand for a drug test is unreasonable for my own legal protection and to clear up dates, i've taken a test to day if i to the results will come in about a week and got full of de la knowing be accountable ortho marines behavior have divided the finished public. some have defended her right to enjoy, have free time as she pleases, like any one else. others have called her behavior inappropriate, and say she was naive to allow the filming. she was on duty as p. m at the time,

but said she had no imminent appointments. i didn't have any work meetings planned for that week and they are confirmed usually beforehand and i didn't have any meetings for example, saturday or sunday, but we didn't have any government meetings during the week and i had time off fund on spent. why with my friends, and did nothing in legal still how critics question whether she could have made decisions in a sudden crisis in her condition, marine has the support of her social democratic party and intelligence experts say the incidental did not risk national security. bought the wound, it could be exploited for propaganda purposes. for example, by russia. mccarthy like over albina millison noticed on quite the balance. you have to be prepared for the fact that all material that start circulating can be used in the wrong way than that in santa marine became the world's younger,

deserving government leader in 2019 age just 34 high presents. he has since been criticized for letting her head down at parties at her official residence. and last december, she apologized after it was revealed. she'd gone out clubbing till 4 am after being exposed to coven 19. now the war, new crane has laid waste to the nations rich cultural heritage. bombing and shelling have damage or destroyed historic buildings, museums, and religious sites. but a new project could help safeguard ukrainian culture and 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 up back up ukraine, turns ordinary ukrainians into digital archivists. the up turns their photos into 3

d models and on tag to their precise location and save to a secure online database in the cloud. when albums can reach architect and key of resident maxim coming in has already contributed more than 100 smartphone scans to the project. yes, but i should say for the morning, i hope this project will significantly help ukraine and its future generations still with her equal ship. anya, because if a historical monument, a sculpture, no were historical building is destroyed, it will be possible to restore it in the same material in 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 to sort of as a reference for,

for reconstruct and it can be used as a cost and form. and it can also just be used as a form of documentation as a form of preservation. that is, it technically will last for ever downloaded more than 6000 times the app is on its way to preserving ukraine's irreplaceable cultural heritage. will you up to date, but stay with us? dw business with stevens beardsley is up next. and remember you can always get all the latest news and updates on our website. that's d w dot com. i'm aaron took him berlin. thanks for joining me. i just got he she, she thought they were great, he will be.
