ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin tonight in the line of russian fire, ukraine's biggest nuclear power plant. take it off why? the separates your nuclear power plant went off the grid, briefly cutting power to 1000. the plant blaming wash and shelly that was too close

to the reactors and the nuclear danger. it remains also coming up tonight. the death toll mounting after a russian of sold on ukraine's independence day at least 26 people died in an attack on the train station. some of them burned alive inside a train car and unwanted at home. and welcome elsewhere. 5 years after fleeing a violent crack down to me and mar for hinge refugees. urged the world. do not forget our play. and in germany, remembering the roll stock riots 30 years ago, far right mobs attacked an immigrant housing complex. it was a roll display of xenophobia that some say still exists. ah, i'm bring. gov is good to have you with us on this. thursday's ukraine's nuclear

authority says these aperture nuclear power plant is back online to night. after being taken off the grid earlier in causing a blackout for thousands of people in you crate. the humans nuclear watchdog shows that the exact causes unclear, but ukrainian officials are blaming russian forces, occupying the facility for weeks. now, fighting between both countries has raised fears of a possible nuclear meltdown at europe's largest nuclear power. plant, the full rushes invasion. the vall separation, you can plant supplied around 20 percent of ukraine's energy needs. but on thursday, it was temporarily cut off from the country's power grade, entirely off to fi as visible here on satellite imagery knocked out its lost external power line that falls. the facilities last 2 operating reactors to shut down ukrainian officials say pallet has since been restored. one reactor is back on

line and work is reportedly underway to restore the other. russian forces had been in control of the plants since march, and ukraine has blamed them to starting the fires. but russia claims they were sparked, but ukrainian shelling for weeks now increase fighting at the plant has raised fears of a nuclear catastrophe. experts fair that a loss of power would leave the facility, forced to rely on emergency backup generators to cool it's react as the head of the u. n's. nuclear watchdog told french board costa france 24. he's planning to visit i think now that he's at general recognition that at we need to be there, we need to be there soon. as a keith accepts it, moscow accepts it. we need to go and we are going to be there. hopefully very, very soon. the u. n. and well leaders have called for the creation of the demilitarized zone surrounding the plant to avert disaster. china,

but russia has rejected that proposal. andy w's, but he is burger. he is following developments for is from he could have you to you much. he is, there are lots of rumors circulating about what happened to your, at this power plant. do we know why it was taken off the grid? there are reports that the russians actually wanted to connect it to their power grid. what do you know? well, um, we don't know what happened exactly what we know is that a fire seems to have damaged the or the, the line connecting the power plant to the ukrainian grid, ukraine's grid and read the russian grid are separate from each other. they're not interconnected, they're not synchronized. so and the planned hoss been supplying power to ukraine for the past few weeks or months, even if it was,

even when it was under russian control. so there have been rumors that russia is planning to reconnected to the russian or to, to connect it to the russian grid and to supply crimea, which is a, which is synchronized with the russian grid with electric energy. um, but we don't know that for sure. we don't know much for sure, but what we know is that it was shut off today that it didn't deliver electricity ukraine than warned. and then it was back on, there were rumors that it had been shut down entirely these reactors, but we don't know that exactly. and when he is, what has been changed is, is the fact that russian troops and weapons are in close vicinity to these nuclear reactors? people have been worried now for quite some time of a possible nuclear meltdown at maybe another chernobyl. how worried are they after this latest incident?

what the worries continue, and if only they have only grown, so there was, you've just mentioned it. ah, that m. m that, that rumor that they might have started reconnecting, it that would mean that it has to go off grid at that moment. um, as many connections are cut off and then the question is, how reliable the cooling systems will still be supplied with electricity? so the plant are much, much can happen at the plant when one thing must never happen. and that's that the suit cooling systems do not work anymore because this will lead to an explosion a meltdown. and this operation of disconnecting and reconnecting, it, there's some risky, especially at a moment where there is a lot of military equipment where shelling has been going on. this plan has been used for shelling the surrounding territories. but oh, has also been shell. it's unclear really, by whom and, and to what extent um,

but this is a very volatile situation and it's very important that the i e a can get there soon . he w, but he is really good with the lanes to night and keep matthias, thank you. nuclear security on the front line of a war. i'm now joined by ross peel. he works on nuclear security and safety, including the role of nuclear power plants in times of military conflicts at king's college in london. it's good to have you back on the program with is it? i mean it's, it's is insane. i'm to have a war going on and to have a nuclear reactor in the middle of the battlefield. a bit, talk to me about the specifics of how dangerous the situation is right now. renelle the stress, your, excuse me, the situation is very concerning. we haven't yet seen a situation before like this, where a nuclear power plants has been on the front lines of an ongoing conflict. so most their examples in the past off long range military falling, bought from aircraft,

of your absence off to them, at least not seeing this ongoing fighting on the ground in the vicinity. if this continues, then it could lead to some of those situations that we've just been hearing about from your, your correspondence regarding the melting and the potential for the skate. prorate your materials, the arms yet in was nuclear power plants. they're just their, their power plants, the they are not built to withstand shelling or, or missile attacks that we, that we see in a war. so this is a situation that, but there's no handbook or guide book, is there? no, we are certainly off the previous experience here. normally pop always designs with a certain amounts of damage. for instance, in the wake of $911.00 attacks is brought to light that many designed to withstand the shot from an aircraft that's an aircraft is not designed specifically to

penetrate through laser concrete, to attack a nuclear reactor, for instance, or our own carla hockey. so we are very much in uncharted territory here. i would agree suddenly though, that a concept of the talk with shelves on miss how's, could you deliberately talk to penetrate through these containment buildings and how much the reactions within and, and that would be, that would be the worst case scenario, right? if we, if we had a walk it that would hit one of these reactors ahead on a we're talking about an instant job meltdown. possibility are we were talking about the possibility. yes. we're also talking about an explosion that causes the release of radioactive material. and it's not just from the reaction, unfortunately, they're all large pools outside of those rep to the same as are many, many new ones containing use nuclear fuel that remains very hot and direct you are to for several years after being removed from this doesn't have all the same

protections, so if these outdoor uncovered pools of water, what's the hit? it could lead to the removal of water and therefore to remove the exposure from your material environment the same way. and we, we really can't verify what is going on inside the power plant. we understand that the ukrainian workers are still doing their jobs that we understand they're doing it at gunpoint by russian soldiers that makes then the demand by the r e a that inspectors be allowed inside the plant. even more critical doesn't it's extremely critical of the given access to the farms as soon as possible. the work is all doing an absolutely unbelievable job on if the worst possible conditions that much to interfere with the work and going about that you may hang up on is inexcusable. in the normal circumstances, the need gets in that my concern though is that when the 2 schedules be ups in,

in 2 weeks or whatever many steps taken to remove. some of the evidence of what's been going on on the head of time was feel as always we appreciate your time and your insight, helping us to understand the dangers of nuclear power plant in the middle of a battlefield. thank you. thank you. yesterday's rocket attack on ukraine's independence day. it appears. it was deadlier. they under 1st reported brushes. defense ministry now says that missiles killed more than $200.00 ukrainian troops who were inside a transport train. ukrainian officials say at least 25 people were killed, including civilians, dozens more injured by the russians strike in chap, lena. keep it says at least one missiles struck the village. the attack came 6 months to the day that russia watched its invasion of ukraine. this

is what ukrainians had weird for days. i rushing attack on civil and infrastructure on the 6 month anniversary of its invasion. with the small town of jap alina in easton, ukraine was shell twice. who this man found his son's body off at the blast? his id, you know that he was in the house. he was thrown out of their village. we looked for him and he was lying here. nobody knew that he was here. when there was no sound was nothing at all was heard. one just an explosion. a blast and then the fire started. this chest was authority. see several people were burned 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 at actually near foreseeable despite moscow's attempt to block his appearance and

advise the rescuers are working. but unfortunately, the death toll could increase that at our russia prepared for this session thing at a vessel. but with the debts rising every day there appears little hope for the war 2 and any time soon. it has now been a little lower, 6 months since russia invaded ukraine. the conflict is had impacts and ripple effects across the globe far beyond the death and destruction in ukraine itself. the united states has responded by sending tens of billions of dollars in economic and military ada ukraine. the conflict has been one of the rare spots to largely unify democratic and republican lawmakers. the u. s. has also put severe sanctions on the russian economy, frozen hundreds of billions of dollars in russian assets intending to choke off moscow's ability to finance this war. but sanctions on russia's energy exports are

fueling much higher energy prices. in the united states itself, the oil prices have come down in recent weeks. the spikes have fueled inflation and dealt a blow to the biden administration's popularity. let's go now to our washington bureau chief in his poll. she's been following the story for us from day one. good evening to year edith. yet you can't of ignored this when. right. i mean, at the gas pump at the grocery store, talk to me about how this war is affecting the lives of americans. have run just as he said, the people here really failed the tangible price of war. the raise of inflation caused by the warned numerous sanction. as he also just mentioned, i was one of the many causes for price hikes and food consume items. and most importantly, i have an oil and gas and that led to the fact that during the summer, many americans had to cancel or change their vacation plans. and that's definitely

something not only americans do not like to do the support for ukraine and the shipment of weapons to ukrainian forces. it enjoys bipartisan support. it has enjoyed that. and how strong is it now compared to 6 months ago in auburn for americans who were old enough to remember the cold war. they certainly felt the fear of a nuclear attack from russia, russia, or in the 1st weeks of war that was something we experienced during every trip we did. we saw ukrainian flags in front of homes and businesses across the country and very red states and, and very blue states. but this is changing and as the war continues, there is a feeling that this might be just another never ending war and the support is dwindling. when i'm out there reporting, i actually get the impression that more and more americans have moved on to

domestic issues that concerns their day to day life. yeah. you know, we, we spoke 6 months ago. it started this war that for many americans, they couldn't find ukraine on the map. and yet they were for this support. would you say that ukraine it has become more important to americans in general? are through this well, they definitely got to know ukraine better. that's true. in the beginning, many americans didn't really know where it wasn't. it was really like the pictures of women and children, a suffering which really changed the mood as bad as the domestic problems here are raising q to inflation. but also other topics. i mean we see floods, we see all the climate problems. it is moving further away again again and a pleasant present bite and definitely fears that the support is dwindling. d w's in his fall in washington. tonight is always in his thinking. right,

let's take a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . fighting has resumed in northern ethiopia, between government forces and to graham rebels. it ends a truce that held for 5 months. you end up calling for an immediate cease fight. the war in te gray, which began back in 2020 has displaced millions and pushed parts of the region into famine and gold as national election commissions. as the ruley m. p l. a party is on course to win the general election. the party of president joe lorenzo has 51.7 percent of the vote with nearly all of the balance now counted in golden. main opposition party earlier claimed that it was in the late taiwan has proposed a $19000000000.00 hike in defense spending after china's largest ever military drills around the island. the funds would boost, ty pays air and naval capabilities. parliamentary approval is to require tensions

are flaring with china, which views taiwan as a break away province. it has been 5 years since the mass exodus of ro hinge from me and mar to bangladesh. the men mar military burnt down their villages, leaving thousands of people dead and causing 700000, were hinges, to flee over the border into pendula dash they've been marking this day with rallies in some 20 refugee camps, demanding justice and a way back home. ah, they have gathered to market sat anniversary and to remind the world of their plight or hunger who had to flee their homes when me on most military, unleashed the bloody campaign of ethnic cleansing against the muslim minority 5 years ago. to trauma, it's deep into the memories of those who managed to escape to neighboring bangladesh. oh,

i didn't do my thing today. we had demonstrating because in 2017 the pennies on the calendar, people in a genocide, they killed my husband and others out of the military rate than killed our children . what am i threatening them to finance? attaching them from the not the been mother my the, my law maddie maddie, maddie, close to 1000000 ro hang a crammed into scarlet camps. there as will work, elephant sanitary conditions are declining. crime is on the rise. most ringo, one to go home, but not at any price. i didn't i was i will i, we are now ready to go back. i demand is that we must get us citizenship rights. i agree. we are ready to go back and balise my band with along that dash is not a soil that we don't want to stay here. i think i'll go back and we will not staying candy. how do we want to go straight to our own homes? demons like these have fallen on deaf ears and me and my the one to has been hit by

sanctions by the u. s. the u and the u. k. international court of justice, a. so but a case to determine if me on must government has engaged in genocide. critics say it is not enough. 5 years after the origin detach. no one has been held accountable for these action as a result of that, i believe. well, the military hunter has been emboldened to commit even more crash or crimes, crimes against humanity. so in my view, it is critically important for the international community to engage in coordinated focused targeted factions and engage in accountability mechanisms and much more robust way than what the international community has been willing to do with little hope of returning to the home country anytime soon, the generation of young were hang, a risk of growing up without future will join him. you

know, is emily white from the international non profit organization save the children in london? i believe it's good to have you with us 5 years of being a refugee. so what are these 5 years done to the ro hinge of children? thanks very much for having me. and they say the children recently did a survey on hundreds of children and young people and the children's parents and can get it. and 2 thirds of children told us that they don't feel any faith. and now than they did 5 years ago when misled father in law and 80 percent of children that they still feel depressed. and 9 out of 10 adults, parents said that they feel and stress anxious to practice well. and this really is down to the deteriorating conditions and these camps really on the man that just let them know these camps are not a place for children to live in. but that is, unfortunately the reality for, for these children of is it possible to find any

positives in this experience for these children? and well, one thing that we would say is one positive if that were able to mount this occasion and really use it, share solid therapy with her. and also with the government funded dash that is still continuing to shelter 1000000 refugees. and what we would really want to do right now is to hold on increased funding for things like education. so one of the main issues for children feeling they are distressed and is it has no formalized education system. and it's not in our language, you know, 112 year old boy whole just read that and him and his friends to lead to really forgotten their own language and play and you know, when the opportunity in the future for them, if they are able to save them or any point in the future and where the employment and educational change for them if they're not learning. i mean, we'll say we need to be a sort of formalize accreditation to for their education and to get them

transferable skill. and, and you know that there's other family, other missions in the campaigns, like child marriages on the increased nutrition is on the increase. the counselor over crowded have been a huge increase in bias. for example, that have destroyed thousands of people and children, you know, they even have faith to play and let alone go to school and keep them safe from protection. right. and that's what we're trying to highlight here. really cooling on the international community to community to really step up the funding step of the funding to make sure that people do not forget what happened and continues to happen for the weekend and really wide from say, the chill back in the leaf. thank you. thank you very much. with germany has been marking one of the worst xena phobic attacks in its post world history. 30 years ago. the far right bob in the eastern city of ra stock, attacked

a housing complex for asylum seekers and immigrants. german president frank volter sty meyer, attended the ceremony outside that 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 rostock, where emigrants once feared for their lives. frank voter stein maya had come to acknowledge the pain of 30 years ago, but also to express the hope that lessons have been learned, vice 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 1992 a far right more but tact,

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 struggle to control the riot, neo nazis from across the country arrived to join in and thousands of onlookers 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? skipped him off. there is still a minority that his old authoritarian totalitarian nationalist and alters in a phobic. his minority must be kept in shame. it is important to convince these people what they think is wrong. i've submitted 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 extreme as him. 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 bitter memory. is right when parties continue to attract votes and xenophobic violence is still a problem. the need to combat racism is as urgent as ever or in some tennis. these now no joke of a jazz confirmed that he will not take part in this year's us open due to coven travel restrictions. the former world number one you may recall is not vaccinated, which by the current rules bars him from entering the united states. his absence means that he will not have the chance to equal raphi on adults record total of $22.00 grand slam titles at flushing meadows jokers, which also miss the australian open earlier this year due to his vaccinations, deaths. this is a reminder that top story we're following for you this our ukranian authorities say

the nuclear power plant is jeffery was briefly taken off the grid for the 1st time in its history. say a cable was damaged by the fire and the plant was unable to deliver power to the surrounding area. fighting between washington ukrainian troops for control of the facility as raised international concern of a possible nuclear disaster watching the w news. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more will news followed by the day i hope to see that with

you to the point. strong opinions, clear positions, international perspective, russia 6 month war on ukraine up and did the live people throughout the region. driving a wedge between neighbors,

friends and family. tragic triangle is protein destroying ukraine fell over, and russia join us on typically to the point next on d w. ah, sometimes a seed is all you need to allow the big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning facts like global ideas. we will show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can all make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing, download it now for, for a vibrant to have it ended glistening place of long the mediterranean sea. it's
