5 years out to fling a violent crack down at me and my reenter refugees over the world. do not forget our plight. ah, i'm been puzzled and welcome. we'll have more on those stories in a moment. first breaking news, ukraine's nuclear power company says the salary shift facility has shut down. officials say fire damage to overhead power lines cause the last 2 working reactors to cease operation. the plant is under the control of brush and forces. fighting in the area has raised international concern of a nuclear accident. at what is europe's largest nuclear power plant. dw corresponded home on controlling co joins me now from keith. all my, what's the situation at separation?

well, the situation is developing and today is a historic day, according to the ukrainian atomic, a company. they say that for the 1st time in his history, that power plant and nuclear power plant, except each of the biggest in europe, the biggest in ukraine, has been cut off from the ukrainian power grid. and by the russian authorities, a military authorities, they are controlling that territory on that power plant as well. so am to the bare ground this power plant is connected and is supplied with energy from i am the ukrainian or is providing energy to ukraine or through only one line out of 4. the 3 were destroyed before during the fighting. and this one last line was cut off today because there was fires in the forest below, there was, there was fighting and there was a, this cut off of by the russians. did i controlling the station according to the ukrainian sources and now the ukrainians are trying to reconnect it to the

ukrainian power grid? and there are you crying and walk us on that power station that operate the plant? and the key of authorities, ukrainian government is saying that the russians are preparing to completely cut off that power station from the ukrainian grid. so what is happening today? looks like it could be, it's an assumption would be a test or by the russian side as well. ma'am what, what, what could be done to cut it off from the ukranian or from the ukraine and grid. but once again, this is, this is an assumption, it could be, so it would be just an incident due to the fighting there or fires. we are, we have multiple records of fires in the wood nearby. ok home and stay where you are because we have more use on the situation in ukraine with a russian rocket attack on independence day came. may have been even more deadly than 1st reported. rushes defense ministry claims missiles killed, more than $200.00 ukranian troops on a transport train. training and officials contradicted their accounts saying at

least 25 people, including civilians were killed and thousands more injured by that russian strike in chap, lena keep says at least one miss alice struck the village itself. the attack came 6 months to the day after rush had launched its invasion. this is what ukrainians had weird for days. i rush an attack on civilian infrastructure on the 6 month anniversary of its invasion. with the small town of jacquelina in easton, ukraine was shalt twice who this man found his son's body off at the blast. visit that he was in the house when he was thrown out of there. we looked for him and he was lying here. nobody knew that he was here in new york. there was no sound. nothing at all was heard. one just an explosion issue,

a blast. and then the fire started. this chest was authority says several people were born in a car. as the un security council met to mock 6 months of the ukraine war, president zalinski addressed the session of dell, the world, about the latest russian at actually near foreseeable despite moscow's attempt to block his appearance at the winery the rescuers are working. but unfortunately, the death toll could increase that at our russia prepared for this session being out of basil, but with the debts rising every day there appears little hope for the war 2 and any time soon. well, ukrainians had been want to prepare for brutal attacks from russia. oh man. do ukrainians expect this intensity of attacks to convey well yes, this is possible. i'm in the days before we heard from the current ukrainian

government that this whole week, by the end of the week, there are more attacks to expect from russia. but there is a striking difference between the day of independence and the next day to day. so we have a more than 8 era, an air raid sirens and kia and hold the hot to day, only one at night. so it is much quieter here in the capital ukraine now of ukraine now. but in all the regions of your grain, there are steel rates are runs through here and the ukrainians expect maybe more attacks in the coming days. home again sure. control ankle in keith for us. thank you very much for the war and ukraine has had impacts and ripple effects across the world. far beyond just ukraine and europe. africa is one part of the world that is being also hit hard as far as the economics of this war go. it's experiencing rising fuel and food prices, which have contributed to inflation and financial instability combined with

a drought in ethiopia and other nations on the horn of africa. that's led to a food emergency in many places. ukrainian grania exports of only recently started to flow again after a long blockade by russia. west african countries rely on ukrainian fertilizer for agriculture. that fertilizer has largely been cut off since the beginning of the war. putting crop yields at risk. across the continent, the poorest people have been hardest hit since they spend the majority of their income on food and transport. but many african countries have been hesitant to anger russia and abstain from united nations vote condemning the invasion. we'll, let's bring in our own ma, he'll miller, who is in nairobi for us to tell us more about this. how has the war in ukraine affected people's lives in africa, especially in the region? you are east. africa was a warn you. crane had a massive impact on people's lives here. i mean,

russia and ukraine being among the biggest exporters of wheat men to that many countries, many poor countries, especially here on the continent. haven't received any of that over months, especially countries, lagerry trail somalia, which almost entirely depend on russia and ukraine for their wheat imports. i mean that meant a rising food prices as you already mentioned, rising fuel prices. also ukraine being one of the, actually the, the biggest exporter of sunflower oil meant also that it exacerbated the whole situation. and also this came on top of already high food insecurity due to coven 19 due to conflict due to an ongoing drought, which is the worst in 4 decades. according to the un, recent figures show that 50000000 people actually on the brink of famine. and i've been in somalia myself a few months ago and i could see it. i mean it's devastating. millions of livestock completely wiped out livestock. farmers being forced to live in camps for displaced

people and mothers telling me that they were, you know, they could only watch them that children die in their own arms because they didn't have anything to give them. and actually if i may add the latest impact of the war, and ukraine also increased prices for food for treatment, for malnourished children. so there's, there's peanut pay is the high calorie, basically lifesaver for children and babies, which is now so expensive that the u. n. has said that $600000.00 fewer children will be able to receive it. and then there are those grain shipments i mentioned that have been held up and have only really been leaving in what is what is become a trickle from ukraine? how important are those grand shipments? weather. so very important, i mean, as you mentioned, the 1st a ship is supposed to arrive next week and with your peer and it's your b as not only facing this devastating drought that i just mentioned is also in the middle of a war that has just been refreshed yesterday,

actually there was fresh fighting between the 2 grain rebels and the government forces. so it is not only the draw that people have to fight with. it's also this war and people being displaced. so it is, it is hugely important that these ships arrive in the regions that are most desperate. what's russia doing? i to support the region. it is heavily involved in africa, or isn't it where russia invests a lot in mining and it sells agricultural equipment. it also sells nuclear technology. it gives financial lawns, it is quite active in some areas of the continent. but if you look, for example, at the foreign direct investment and africa, foreign direct investment, it's only around one percent that's actually coming from russia. but if you look at the history, i mean, african countries still have a very pro russia sentiment because of many countries actually across the continent

. a still ruled by parties which were supported by its soviet union in the past, in the fight for their independence and against colonial rule. so that is also what you know, some leaders here on the continent to remember. and that's why they abstained from the un resolution that you mentioned earlier. mario miller for us in nairobi, thank you very much. a report shows the use of cluster bombs in ukraine has led to hundreds of civilian casualties. they're considered illegal by most countries across the munition monitor report says at least $689.00 people have been killed or wounded by cost of bombs in ukraine, almost all of them civilians. the report says russia has used class to bombs extensively, instigating hundreds of such attacks. it also says that you can enforce as a pay to have used cost munitions at least $3.00 times since 2008 and international agreement. banning the use of cluster munitions has gained

a $110.00 secretaries including germany. but russia and ukraine as well as the united states and a number of other countries have refused to sign. he is a close look of ball cluster bombs are and what they do for munitions from the ground. beyond the explosions. watch and listen carefully to what happens next. small, dangerous objects continue to rain down. bigger ones too. ah, there brutally lethal weapons from the air this animation from an n g o working against clustering, munitions offers a look. the bombs released smaller explosive sub munitions in flight. the sub munitions are meant to blow up on impact with enemy soldiers or enemy vehicles. if

not, the enemy civilians, hundreds of bomb. what's spread out over the head zone and activists say over 90 percent of cluster bomb deaths or civilians. earlier this month, d w looked into an alleged russian cluster bomb strike at this children's hospital and ukraine holding $237.00 kids is the ammunition parts were everywhere. fortunately, there had been an air raid and on for the cluster attack. so the children were in the basement. if not, we could have had 237 day n g o z warren, that the tiny bomblets that don't explode immediately. kind of look like a plaything to a child. or they might rest like land mines in urban spaces or farm fields for weeks, months, years after the main projectile has been hauled away. maria nato is a co editor of this. he is close to munition report. we asked her why some countries such as ukraine and russia refused to band the use of cluster munitions. they consider that those weapons and i use will. but as i mentioned earlier,

we believe those with as out simply indiscriminate our band. and we are working to make sure that you know, as many countries as possible, i joining i joining the convention. and that's why as well that since there's been this use of a close to mission in ukraine, a lots of states have spoken odds. and to said that, you know, using those lipton is illegal and should never happen anywhere and at any time. so we just have to continue to make sure that all the states that are remaining outside of the convention as running as soon as possible. ion lotto co editor of this is report on the use of cluster bombs. let's take a look at some other stories making headlines. taiwan has proposed a $19000000000.00 hike in defense spending off the chinese stage. it's largest ever military drills around the island. the funds would boost time pace era naval combat capabilities and require approval from parliament. tensions of flaring with china,

which views taiwan as a break way province. a court and pakistan has granted former prime minister iran con, extended bail for a week, kind of facing terrorism charges following a speech he gave this past weekend. the police filed the charges saying can't threaten police officers and a judge during his speech. he says the charges are politically motivated. election officials and angola say early results from the general election put the ruling m p l. a party in the late with 86 percent of the ballots counted. the party has 52 percent of the vote bought and goal is main opposition. party claims. they are in the late and says the preliminary results are unreliable. it's the 5th anniversary of the ra hinges mass exodus from mia mart to bangladesh. there marking the day with civil tanius rallies in some 20 camps, demanding justice and repent creation. even miramar military is offensive, burned down villages and left thousands of people dead. over $700000.00 ranger

escaped over the border. many ended up in a sprawling refugee camp near the town of cox's bazaar. it now holds about a 1000000 people, bangladesh hope sel. eventually return home. but the refugees complaint they are being detained inside the caps. along with their repatriation, they want full civil rights and 982 law b m r, deprived them of their citizenship. will mon fanny is the me scholar and activist to joins us from berkeley, california. the re hinder as seen by many in their homeland as foreigners just explain to i'll be was why that is 1st of all what they were not seen as foreigners before. the military rules which began in $962.00. they contributed to drafting the constitution for independence, burma, that they had to parliamentary representation. in the 1950s, when we had

a decade of parliamentary democracy rule, they contributed to civil service. teachers, security officials, even army official officers with, you know, came from my bro hinge a background, but the military constructed or framed the rural hinders as foreigners, my grand and from a nearby banga days that came as to seasonal agricultural worker during the british times. therefore, they had overstayed at their a welcome burma became independence under military rule 10 years after independence perma became a military dictatorship. and so this is similar to the situation of the jewish people that lived in that of that nazi germany. they were framed by nuremberg raised laws as no, not germans. as you know, a many,

a german jews were more german than jewish, and they were loyal to the germany. i fought a lan, and so that was a similar situation. then here's a case of a military control, neo fascist, stayed framing an entire ethnic group as an alien and a threat to national security. that is, that there is a parallel between nazi germany in the 1930 east. and then a ro, hinges situation show which a show began to deteriorate since 19 the seventy's. and so this is the genocide, a slow bernie genocide as my wife and colleague natalie brennan. and i call it in our the major study in 90 a 2014. at the same time, these were hinge are, according camps in bangladesh. these camps, in many cases, have been turned into internment camps. how are they going to get out of there?

and back to that country one day well, here's the, i mean you just to us at the, you know, $6000000.00 question here. as long as the burmese military that institutionalized, to as a matter of policy, the and destruction of almost the entire a bro hinge a community of over 2000000 people. but there is no possibility of any return any up real justice. and despite all the legal or judicial processes that are going on around the world at the international court of justice, international court, or the universal jurisdiction case in argentina filed by belinda activists. and so, because the regime is protected by russia in china and, you know, as just at this, we, britain announced that it is joining the gum b a you know, joining and the genocide case that is going on at the international court of

justice. ab unified by gumby i several years ago and the u. s. indicated that it also will support any type of international criminal proceeding. you know, to the security council referral to the i c s a i c c. but the problem, as i said, is, you know, at the security council, this regime is protected by double beatle by russia and china, the way israel has been protected by the united states all these decades. and so here's a debt and situation and above goes like, you know, the him that the ra hinder ought to be given access to education, access to livelihood, and not be treated as caged s sub human, a people in bangladesh bangla days or to review it, policy critically and start seeing ro hinder as a community that needs to be enable and support it, not as

a threat to security. that ra hinge a must not be turned into victims of double genocide. well, let's hope that bangladesh and mamma listening because otherwise it's a very bleak outlook, omi scholar, an activist, long saudi. thank you very much for your insights. thank use. now women in afghanistan, a facing and aggressive campaign by the taliban to restrict their public lives. since taking power is the most rulers of place limits on goals, education, women can only go outside with the male guardian. but some afghan women have taken a step to counter their isolation. they've opened a library for women, only. an opening for mines. this brand new couple library tends to the education of a female only clientele. the founder said some noises inside a society that is increasingly hostile to universal education. the taliban rule of
