outage is unclear. ukrainian officials blame russian forces for starting fires. the damaged power lines connecting the plant to the electricity grid. the nuclear plant is under the control of russian forces, who claim that ukrainian shelling is the biggest threat to the facility for weeks now, fighting between the 2 sides has raised fears of a meltdown at europe's largest nuclear power plant. will detail use mathias building a is following developments for us from keith. bring us up to date. mathias yeah, that's what you just said. we are hearing that the planters back on we have heard before there was cut off the ukrainian grid. now this plant is russian controlled, but it's connected to the ukrainian grid, and the 2 grids are not compatible. so a once it's cut off the grid, if cause there are worries that are there might something might have happened at this power plant. power plants keep emitting her energy when they're not shut down

and do this energy needs to go somewhere. that's the one thing. and the other thing is, if it, if this line to the grid is broken, as we've heard before, then there's also danger that the lines that are supplying the cooling system of the power plant to, or that they might also be damaged under that they're separate lines but oh, obviously one line has got something might have happened to others as well. um, so worries were very high that there's something might have happened there were even used at the plant had been shut down, which seems not to be the case. ones are delivering energy again and, but there was a very nervous day to day. do we know why it was cut off? what exactly happened? while we're hearing that along the line that connects the grid to the ukrainian there, the plan to the ukrainian grid was cut off. um that might have several causes her. the reason given was that there was artillery fire on that line and, and, and, and, and a fire or in, in as a consequence of,

of this or shelling. but we don't really know the exact cause. there's also been, some speculation has been separate relations for days now that the group that the plant might be connected in the future to the russian power grid and to crimea, which is part of the russian power grid. i'm. that would mean that it would have to be shut down, cut off the ukrainian, and reconnected to air the russian power grid. this is considered a risky operation. so there was some speculation that this might be happening at the moment. however, it seems, it's back at the ukranian grid and whatever the cause was, um it caused of course shock to or the observers that worried the ukrainians about an actual meltdown at the plant. there were not only among ukrainians. imagine this is the biggest power plant in europe and even old though it has 6

reactor blocks and only 2 of them are operating at the moment. but the ones that have been shut down, they also need constant calling am and this, the potential catastrophe that might happen there is way bigger than the channel built incident. and if you remember, maybe some people will, that in western europe, the out, the fall out of the general build, a nuclear explosion was felt and there were higher nuclear, that there was higher radioactivity even in west and germany as far as western germany. so depending on where the wind blows, this might affect europe. this might affect russia. this might go south and even affect countries south of the black sea, turkey and others. so it's a danger, not only for ukraine, obviously something many countries are watching very closely. mathias bowling. a thanks very much for bringing us up to date on the developments there from keith. yesterday's rocket attack on ukraine's independence day may have been deadlier than

reported. russia's defense ministry claims missiles killed over $200.00 ukrainian troops on a transport train. ukrainian officials say at least 25 people were killed, including civilians, and dozens more injured by the russians strike in chap lina. cave says at least one miss alice struck the village itself. the attack came 6 months to the day that russia launched its full invasion of ukraine. this is what ukrainians had weird. what did i rushing aback on civilian infrastructure on the 6 month anniversary of its invasion, the small town of jacquelina in eastern ukraine was shell twice. who this man found his son's body off at the blast? visit when 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, 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 mock 6 months of the ukraine war, president zalinski addressed the session to tell the world about the latest russian attack the neo foreseeable despite moscow's attempt to block his appearance and at the winery the rescuers are working. but it is, unfortunately, the death toll could increase that at our russia prepared for this session being out of battle. but with the debts rising every day there appears little hope for the war to end any time soon. the un human rights chief sat down with d. w, corresponded jack parrot to disgust human rights in ukraine. she voice concern over

russia's treatment of ukrainian prisoners of war, deemed war criminals by moscow. as a whole claim, we have had full access to the trials. we have seen that how the chance of the pillow and if the people of war has been having the respect they deserve, according to the national rules. but in russia had not or in the pro ration on roofs control area, we have not been able to have access to. and we are really concerned because we have heard a little things about possible trials of a piece of war. because a soldier is not asked, in the case of a grain, those bits of war has been going charged with, with war crimes. and they have been doing through the west, the judicial system, with all the normal proceedings. in the case of, of russia we have heard that had happened yet, but the heard there will be sort of a specialty of, you know, that will charge them because they have been part of the war. but that's all. yeah

. all international humanitarian laws. so we hope that these things are not happening. we'll be calling on, on respecting the human toes law that they are part of the law as they have ratified them and to respect peace, the recent of war. let's take a look at some other stories making headlines. germany and morocco have announced an end to months with diplomatic tensions. following a visit by german foreign minister on alina bab bulk, they agreed to put aside disagreements at the morocco's claim to the western sahara . the 2 sides said they'll now open a new chapter, working together in the area of renewable energy's french president memo my car is now a jury of 3 days to boost trade ties. and he'll colonial era wounds. it was meant by algeria as president. i've done, madge to boy mccoy has tried improving relations before the war and ukraine has highlighted. algeria is important as a gas supply for europe. election officials in angola,

se early results from the general election put the ruling m. p. a lay in the late with the majority of ballots, counted the party of president july, the handle as 52 percent of the vote and gold as main opposition party claims it is in the lead. it says the preliminary results and not reliable fighting in ethiopia between government forces, antique high in rebels, has resumed after a truce that held for 5 months. the conflict in the north began in 2020. it's left thousands dead. it's also triggered a humanitarian crisis. fees in the tube here was fragile to begin with, but hopes of a lost in cruise was shattered. and he, early on wednesday, when rebels in the degraded asian accuse ethiopian military of launching a large scale offensive people in the european capital, worry about the human cost of the war. on both sides would only go one

a late again. we em, 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 ethiopian people should come out and say, hey enough. what is enough? good? only amiga bono, 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, what war did last time, and it will do the same thing again. it will just cause damage. the main thing is piece of alarm. if that doesn't work, there's nothing we can do. the un secretary general also said he was shocked and saddened by reports of fresh 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 displacing millions of people rights groups are reported widespread atrocities including mos killings and sexual violence. both sides blame each other for the leaders outbreak of fighting a distinction that may not concern its victims. germany has been marking one of the worst xenophobic attacks in its post or history 30 years ago. a far right mob in eastern city of rostock attack to housing complex for asylum seekers and immigrants . german president found gladish dine maia tendered to ceremony outside the building. today where the riot broke out. a memorial of shame in our country. the words of the german president describing the sunflower house in ra stock where immigrants once feared for their lives. frank valentine, maya had come to acknowledge the pain of 30 years ago, but also to express the hope that lessons have been learned. diets escaped,

and i know there are quite a few people in rostock list and hug, and who wished that these events would be put to rent. so i'm all the happier about the many who are committed to understanding and remember to have done this for decades. and i know that in the 1st few years, they face some resistance food, the offer. but one day in the august in august 990 to a far right. more but tech, the sunflower house turning molotov cocktails and crowbars against the terrified people inside. they were taking out theirs in a phobic hatred on asylum seekers and immigrants housed there. as the police struggled to control the riot, neo nazis from across the country arrived to join in and thousands of on look as applauded. a low point in germany's post re unification story that many more races to tax have happened since. so have things really improved him or not?

there is still a minority that his all authoritarian totalitarian nationalist and alters in a phobic. this minority must be kept in shame, and it is important to convince these people what they think is wrong. super high, just for the dental. yes. play i get the politicians now react differently to racism. and far right extreme is as the federal government, we say clearly we are tackling racism and far right extremism. this is a difference compared to 30 years ago before i sit down. no lives were lost in the 5 days of violence, but 30 years on the rostock riots are still a better memory. as right wing parties continue to attract votes and xenophobic violence is still a problem. the need to combat racism is, is urgent as ever. finally, a teenager, mac rather fit has become the youngest person to fly solo around the world. the 17
