val starting fires, that have damaged power lines connecting the plant for the electricity grid that has caused the last 2 working reactors to cease operation. the plant is under the control of russian forces for weeks now fighting in the area has raised fears of a nuclear accident at what is europe largest nuclear power plant? dw correspondent holeman gunshot ankle is in keith. i asked him about the situation at the plant road. the situation is developing and today is a historic day, according to the ukrainian m atomic or a company. they say that for the 1st time in his history, that power plant and nuclear power plant executives is 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 and this power plant is connected and is supplied with energy from i am

ukrainian or is, is, is providing energy to ukraine or through only one line out of 4. this 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 and this cut off of a, by the russians, did i controlling the station according to the ukrainian sources, and now the ukrainians m 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 the ukraine grid?

but once again, this is, this is an assumption. it could be, so it would be just an incidence due to v, a fighting there all fires. well, we have multiple records of fires in the road nearby. a russia rocket attack on ukraine's independence day may have been even more deadly than 1st reported. russia's defense ministry claims missiles killed, more than $200.00 ukrainian troops on a transport train. ukrainian officials contradicted their account saying at least $25.00 people, including civilians were killed and dozens more injured by that russian strike in chapel, lena keep says at least one missile struck the village itself. the attack came 6 months to the day after russia launched its invasion. this is what ukrainians had weird for days or rushing attack on civilian infrastructure on the 6 month anniversary of its invasion. with the small town of chapel lena in easton, ukraine was shell twice. who this man found his son's body off at the blast

visit that he was in the house. he was thrown out of there, although 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, a blast. and then the fire started. this chest was authority. see several people were born in a car. as the un security council met to mark 6 months of the ukraine war. president zalinski addressed the session del, the world about the latest russian attack in the year for a sierra, despite moscow's attempt to block his appearance. at divining the rescuers are working. but unfortunately, the death toll could increase that at our russia prepared for this session. thing out of bed all but with the debts rising every day there appeals little hope for

the war to end any time soon. i asked our correspondent if ukrainians expect his intensity of attacks to continue. well, yes, this is possible. i am 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 had a more than 8 era, an air raid sirens in 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 our, of the regions of ukraine, there are still an air raid sirens to here and the ukrainians expect maybe more attacks and new coming days. he w hallman gunshot ankle there and keep it. take a look at some other stories making headlines. german chancellor, old of schultz, has visited ukrainian soldiers training in germany. they're learning to operate the

armored anti aircraft tanks that germany has agreed to send to ukraine, shall to praise the courage of ukraine service men and women. he also reiterated that germany will be sending more heavy weapon systems to ukraine in the near future. taiwan has proposed the $19000000000.00 hike in defense spending off the china staged its largest ever military drills around the island. the funds would boost, ty pays error naval capabilities and require approval from parliament. tensions are flaring with china, which views tie one as a breakaway province. according pakistan is granted former prime minister in man con, extended bail for a week. con is facing terrorism charges following a speech he gave this past weekend. the police filed the charge of saying con, threatened police officers and a judge during his speech. he says the charges are politically motivated. election officials in angola say early results for the general election, put the ruling m p l. a party in the late with 86 percent of the balance counted.

the body has 52 percent of the vote, but and goal is main opposition. party claims. they are in the lead and says that preliminary results are on lot on reliable. well, it's been 6 months since ross are embedded ukraine. the conflict is had impacts and ripple effects around the globe. far beyond the death and destruction in ukraine itself. countries across africa have experienced 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 grain 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 put in crop yields a brisk 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 abstained from a united nations vote condemning the invasion. earlier i talked to d, w, corresponded mafia. mila in kansas, capital nairobi. she told us how the war in ukraine has affected people's lives on the continent to ad, especially 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 samaya, which almost entirely depend on russia and ukraine for their wheat imports i mean, that meant arising for prizes as you already mentioned, rising fuel prices also are 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, 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 that and their 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 shipment 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 grind 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 efficacy 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 are some leaders seen on the continent to remember? and that's why they abstained from the un resolution that you mentioned earlier. well, he'll mirror for us in nairobi. thank you very much. fighting in ethiopia between government forces, antique ryan rebels has resumed after a truce that helpful or the 5 months. the conflict in the north of the country began in 2020 and since left thousands dead and triggered as humanitarian crisis.

beef in the pure bure was fragile to begin with. what hopes of a lossing cruise was shattered and he only ours on wednesday. when rebels in the digger asian accused ethiopian military of launching a large scale offensive people in the it's europe, in capital, worry about the human cost of the war on both sides would only go when a late of years we am yes. why those who pick up their weapons are not thinking about the people knows you. it's not too late to put those weapons down and come to the table to talk a sham. what is that? this is something the easy open people should come out and say, hey enough, what is enough going mcgovern or you can new york. i know you've got my moderate mom on and above the the choice should have been negotiation and peace. what we saw at war did last time, and it will do the same thing again. it will just cause damage. the main thing is piece of the lamp. if that doesn't work, there's nothing we can do. the un secretary general also said he was shocked and

saddened by reports afresh, hostilities my strong appeals is for an immediate cessation of hostilities and for the resumption of the stalks between the government and the t. p l f. the, with at the same time, the full guarantee of humanitarian accessed to people in needs and the establishment of public services. the war in degree has led to a humanitarian crisis, pushing parts of the region into famine and displeasing millions of people. rights groups are reported widespread atrocities including mass killings and sexual violence. both sides blame each other for the leaders outbreak of fighting a distinction that may not concern its victims. so why is violence flaring now? i put a question to journalist collette her one joy in the ethiopian capital, addis ababa? well,

what we have is of la between that the government and the t p left each of them blaming each other for having a broken. did they trust the material just by that it is it from around much of this year. so no wonder he knows what really happened, why now, you know, but what we know is it has really affected, especially my issues of the ground and created a level of uncertainty that people thought had been put behind them. when the warranty cry broke out. in 2020, it was about the rivalry between a to grind body that have ruled ethiopia for years and that new prime minister avia that is this still at the core of this, or has the conflict evolved? well, as you can imagine, know if you have conflict for close to 2 years more than one and a half years, then you dynamics that come up. so we've got issues of people coming in at the 2 great region coating over a 100 region. we've got the aspect of it needs to be coming up very, very much. we've also got the issue, mr. kennedy continued between the government and the tv, and if

a special he was given on the issue of how his negotiation should happen. so because of all this, the nation of so many factors then teamed up with the issue of lack of political consequences between the 2 factions. then it becomes completely complicated. what about the humanitarian situation? because the un says 90 percent of the peak people in take ride need 8 when, when the even chance is fire that that was announced by the government in much at least the supplies that started entering the gray region where the united nations estimates that more than 5000000 people there and had been kind of blocked from human to supply. but that started happening, you know. and now with this fighting, then that means assess of much as a place would be an issue that has said that more than 570000 meters of field was calling from their own stores. and that means you've been supplying already, the supplies that are in the, in the region becomes an issue. so it's bound to really affect 1st supply,

maintain services into the, into the region, but also to my there cannot now be supplied because there's not enough fuel. the warranty grade was marked by grave atrocities, including mass, killing, sexual violence, as anything been done over the past months to address these crimes and bring the perpetrators to justice. when, when this was raised, we saw the gun made it so bringing to walk some, some soldiers, and some people that did say the kind of effect it had committed some of these atrocities but more needed to be done. and we've seen the international human rights. the human rights bringing up a committee being, being led by 3 people. so we've got investigators coming under the un, but lack of access to some of this. we just continue to complete. some of these are just makes it very hard for them to even do a lot of work and also because of time because time is important, some of these atrocities, what can we did a long time ago. so kind of forming evidence in already a situation is easy, but yes, and something has been done but, and then is the thing more needs to be done by all parties. journalists collect one

goal in one joy, sorry, in a sub i. thank you very much for being on the w news. thank you for having germany has been marking one of the worst xenophobic attacks in its postwar history . 30 years ago, far eyed mob in the east german city of rostock attacked the housing complex for asylum seekers and immigrants. german president hunt valentine mire, attended commemorations outside the building known as the sunflower house. in 1992, it was the focus of days of racist writing. the president says it's now a memorial 2 days of shame. it was a violent welcome for those who had sought safety. on august 22nd in 1992 a far right mob gathered in the east german city of rostock and attacked a housing complex for asylum seekers and immigrants. police were overwhelmed. water cannons arrived late. one officer remembers the chaos. there could be

a kimberly nick. none of us had experience of this kind of criminal energy before. so was, can be sure that everybody was surprised of an al, it was crazy sh or the, or does russian. there have dish. over the next few days, new nancy's for all over germany arrived at the now infamous sunflower house and took out their xenophobic hatred on the sin t roemer and vietnamese people. living there, o. thousands of onlookers applauded and hindered the work of emergency services and police. the situation escalated. 3 right we extremist through march of cocktails at a neighboring building that house 120 the enemy's immigrants. fortunately they managed to escape on to the roof unnoticed among them attend window and wolfgang rushed at the city's commissioner for foreigners saw and tucked his decent sore. we

were afraid they'd see us and come on to a rueful hall stop when he really didn't want to meet them there of nathan. no. then people would have dia thought. fortunately, no lies were lost in the 5 days of violence. but 30 is on the infamous rostock riots. live on as a shameful part of germany's history and still to day to asylum seekers each day. a targeted in fall right attacks ah, a corresponded hunts. ponce attended the ceremonies and visited the apartment block . i asked him what message president stine, my assent by being there today while in german history, obviously, racist mobs, racist attacks, signify nazi germany, signify a very dock periods in german history. and so the attempt or the endeavor that this

kind of thing should not happen again. in germany is something that's a german government and frank touchtone and my other german president emphasize again and again. and it's something that you say it again today when laying on sol is at the house next to me here, which was in flames 30 years ago. at the same time, there is a lot more focus now. then there was 30 years ago on the victim. because at the time the victims were basically save from the situation. there was surprisingly, nobody really seriously injured. there were no debts so serious injuries, but the victims were basically ignored for decades after this event. and now that people are saying the victim should be listen to their their boys should be heard. that is something that's fine for us time. i have the president. well, today, today by talking to some of the people who were affected by this 30 years ago, and the mayor has called for the memories of the rights to be kept alive. tell us

what the city of rostock is actually doing to market day. the major initiative to day has been to declare this building behind me, a national monument, in other words, is not allowed to be changed in it's a substantial look in any substantial manner from now on. it's meant to be, in other words, the building itself is meant to be a reminder, a monument, a, a, a sick, a sign up for what happened here. 30 years ago. the city has attempted in the past to, to put up smaller monuments rather in hidden spaces and they have not really made much of an impact. there is also an attempt to found community centers where people can meet each other where the integration of foreigners into this society is promoted. but one has to say when the flower laying ceremony took place here earlier today, the interest from the public was really meager. there were no fewer that, but not,

not more than a couple of dozen people attending this. so the feeling here is, i think if you speak to people, that they're not really very much interested in this history still to day better hats. is it an issue still today? i mean, the chancellor's cold on old german citizens to stand up against hate and racism. yes, indeed, it is a, the number of a racist attacks from the writer in germany has been very high and recent years. and since this happened 30 years ago, there have been several murders they have been underground to neo nazi groups that have committed to racist murders. and in fact, even here in the city of rostock, it's a, it's a very current problem. there is a local football club for the tans of which are basically neo nazis and right wing as and just this past weekend a just a couple of kilometers from here and the stadium. there was a game of this football club and the fans again raised races banners in the stadium

. so it's something that is very current, even today. hands plan. thank you very much for covering those events for us in raw stock life. so women in afghanistan is restricted under the taliban since taking pow, the islamist rulers have placed limits on girls education. women can only go outside with a male guardian, but they haven't stopped them from opening a women only library. 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 afghanistan has brought severe restrictions on women's participation in public life . these women are hoping that the library can act against that trend. as anything you johnny put on by opening this slide, rudy,

for of gone women to study and to work on. none of us animals lit up for men will make us have a better and more peaceful society. the higher the awareness, the law at the levels of violence. that's why we cheated dislike judy. get off on it, only justin de new library includes more than a 1000 books, including novels, as well as nonfiction titles on politics, economics, and science. the founders hope the works can be read here by many sharp mines, and that the libraries walls offer a safe space for reading and literary explorations. and he's someone who's also been aiming high, a teenager, mac rotherford has become the youngest person to fly solo around the world. the 17 year old completed his 5 month journey in bulgaria, with his proud family there to welcome him home. rather had broke to goodness. well,
