a radioactive meltdown. before russia's invasion. the vall, separation, you can laplant, supplied around 20 percent of ukraine's energy needs. but on thursday, it was temporarily cut off from the country's power grid entirely off to fires visible here on satellite imagery knocked out its lost external power line that force the facilities last 2 operating reactors to shut down ukrainian officials say power has since been restored. one reactor is back on line and work is reportedly underway to restore the other russian forces have been in control of the plants since march. and ukraine has blamed them the starting, the fires. but russia claims they was sparked by ukrainian shelling for weeks now increased fighting of 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 ab general recognition that at we need to be there. we need to be there soon. avenue 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 world leaders have called for the creation of the demilitarized zone surrounding the plant to avert disaster. china, but russia has rejected that proposal. earlier i asked you w mathias burner. what exactly happened at the power plant? 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 plant 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 to day that it didn't deliver electricity . ukraine them warned. and then um, it was back on there were rumors that it had been shut down entirely these reactors, but we don't know that. exactly. and what 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. mm hm. that, that rumor that they might have started reconnecting. it that would mean that it has to go off. great at that moment. um so many connections are cut off and then the question is, how reliable the cooling systems will still be supplied with electricity? so the plant a much can happen at the plant would, 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 bears 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 that to what extent. but this is a very volatile situation and it's very important that the i e a can get there soon . you know, he's mathias billing with the latest to night and keep mathias think yesterday's rocket attack during ukraine's independence day apparently was deadly or the 1st reported russia's defense ministry. now claims that missiles killed more than $200.00 ukrainian troops who were inside a transport train. ukraine officials say at least 25 people were killed, including civilians that dozens more were injured by the russian strike in chop lena. he says at least one missile struck the village. the attack came 6 months to the day that russia watched its full invasion of you cri,

divining 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 appeals little hope for the war 2 and any time soon. let's take a look now, some of the other stories that are making headlines. russian president vladimir putin has ordered a major buildup with his country's military. he signed a decrease to increase the number of troops by a 137000. that's about 13 percent after 6 months of fighting in ukraine. western officials estimate that more than 70000 russian troops have been killed or injured . lafayette has torn down a large monument, dating back to the soviet error. the 79 meter o bullets give the capital riga had become a rallying point for pro kremlin supporters in view of the ukraine war. the lafayette parliament has voted to remove all remaining soviet statues, and plaques,

who had to flee their homes when me on most military unleashed bloody campaign of ethnic cleansing against the muzzle minority 5 years ago. to trauma as it deep into the memories of those who manage to escape to neighboring bangladesh. oh, i didn't do my day to day. we attendance fighting because in 2017, the pennies army killed off people. in a genocide, they killed my husband and others under the military rate and killed our children by threatening the land to highest la. snatching them from the lapse of been mother . mother milady. maddie. nobody close to 1000000 ro hanger, i crammed into scarlet camps. there this will work. health and sanitary conditions are declining. crime is on the rise. most ringo one to go home but not at any price. i didn't either they were like we are now ready to go back. i don't want is that we must get us citizenship rights. i agree. we are ready to go back and

balance them up down with along the dutch is not our soil that we don't want to stay here. i didn't 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 winter has been hit by sanctions by the u. s. the u and the u. k, the international court of justice, i so, but a case to determine if me on must government has engaged in genocide, critic say it is not enough. 5 years after these horrific attach. no one has been held accountable for these acts. and as a result of that, ivory military hunter has been in bold to commit even more crafts, war crimes, crimes against humanity. so in my view, it is critically important for the international community to engage in coordinated focused targeted sanctions and engage in accountability mechanisms in

a 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, a generation of young, we're having a risk of growing up without the future. germany has been marking the worst is in a phobic attacks in its post war history 30 years ago. a far right mob attacked the housing complex for asylum seekers and immigrants. german president walter stein buyer attended the ceremony today outside that building where the riot broke 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 left off the list and hug. and who wished that these events would be put to rest. 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 some resistance food, the offer, but one day in august. in august 1992 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. how's their 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 him or not? there is still a minority that his authoritarian totalitarian nationalist and alters in

a phobic. this minority must be kept in shame. it is important to convince these people what they think is wrong. super high just like 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 for right extremism, this is a difference compared to 30 years ago. for sean, 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 urgent as ever. and here's a reminder that top story we're following for you this, our ukraine, the authority say the nuclear power plant example. rita was briefly off the power grit for the 1st time in its history earlier today. they say a cable is damaged by a fire that the plant was unable to deliver power to the surrounding area. fighting
