bye. summer door. oh him, he was most precious thing in my life. no, it's all so incredibly sad for my daughter, there's nothing left. she doesn't even have a home any more. motherly was a quiet boy. his grandmother says his home was directly across the street from the towns train station. the family was just getting ready for dinner. when russian rocket started to strike the neighbourhood much, he was playing in the living room when the shelling started. and then he ran over to the kitchen where some other family members were. and that's when the rocketed and killed the little boy. immediately. russia claimed responsibility for the attack, the military said it wanted to destroy a train that was supposedly carrying ukrainian soldiers, and they apparently considered the death of motley and many others as acceptable
9:03 am
collateral damage for the operation. it's the worst tragedy that has ever happened in the small town of chip lena, them may, i tell us, but it brought the community together. what you say, the parents of the dead children have gone through an incredible amount of stress. we know it's very hard for them to go on with life, but least we try everything possible to support them with the sites might be an 11 year old boy from the same neighborhood stipend be a take. a walk has already crossed the lives of more than 1000. 2 boys with the un atomic energy agency says it's ready to send a team of experts to these epolina nuclear plant in ukraine in the coming days. but there's no agreement yet on how to reach the site. so lensky warned overnight that the situation at the plant is still quote, precarious in dangerous. the power station was temporarily knocked off the grid
9:04 am
this week, causing regional blackout nuclear experts fear that fighting around the plant risks, a radioactive catastrophe. russian forces took control of the facility in early march. the w corresponded a meticulous bill and the is in key. v has more on the situation in sabrina nuclear power plant. the problem is that we don't really know what it things look like at the power plant itself, except for some use that to reach the ukrainian atomic energy authority via some people inside the plant who might contact people they know forma or their, their, their superiors, who are at the ukrainian side, but we don't have the full picture. what we understand is that things are quite chaotic in parts of the plant that a lot of military equipment is stationed there. and that is shelling has been going
9:05 am
on for several days, even weeks now. and all that this of course, and enhances the risk of some accident and that site, which is what are the prospects of inspectors from the international atomic energy agency soon getting access to the plant? well, there is a basic agreement that these inspectors can travel to the plant there was, would come from ukrainian territory and then cross the front line and come in right now. however, they're not able to travel. there are some protocols or some secure the russian side to saying that they haven't figured out the security of the offices yet, that it's not yet possible and that they are working on it. the ukrainian side is accusing the russians off, delaying access for these inspectors of the i a to the site. so the they are here, they're waiting to travel. they the, i am saying that they are ready to go. the ukrainian side is saying that they have
9:06 am
given their go and now it's all about the russian sites that are giving access and, and providing access and just letting them in it matches. and there's also the question of energy supplies as apparition is an important power of source for ukraine. what would it mean for the country if it lost the plant? so this is the biggest power plant in europe, the biggest nuclear power plant in europe. and it is a crucial supply of ukrainian energy. however, your credit has 3 more atomic energy stations, and the ukraine has been, has had an electricity surplus. it has been exporting electricity. the ukrainian grid is connected to the european grids. so in the case that this power plan which is also operate already operating and not at full capacity there to react as out of 6, are working right now that these 2 reactors would be shut down there would probably
9:07 am
would, there would be shortages, certainly in some areas of ukraine, those areas that are supplied by this power plant directly. but there would be possibilities to import electricity by the same channels where ukraine has been exporting energy before that some mathias burlingame, many, many thanks. russia has blocked a final declaration on the you ends main nuclear treaty. after a month long conference on disarmament, the russian delegation criticized the draft statement as political and unbalanced was the document included a statement of grave concern about fighting around ukraine nuclear sites without naming russia specifically. mm hm. other nations express disappointment saying that russia was undermining international peace. when social you, dr. energy analysts say russia is destroying natural gas stocks. they claim massive burn offs at a plant near the finish russian border waste $10000000.00 euros worth of fuel every
9:08 am
day. finish, residents have reported seeing large flares and feeling much warmer conditions. the facility prepares russian gas for transport to germany, a valuable commodity, vanishing into sin air. while the rest of europe struggles with shortages of natural gas, russia seems to have too much of it. analysts have taken special interest in this russian gas terminal located in port to via bay near the finished russian border. the north $31.00 gas pipeline to germany, starts in port to via and a new ellen g plant has been built at the site. satellite data collected by a norwegian energy consultancy suggests that the so called flaring of gases taking place here at unusual levels. and we've observed that russia has been wearing ever since july 11th of mid july. which coincides with the maintenance
9:09 am
that occurred or began on our streamline. but interestingly, flaring actually continued despite the operations being resumed. women are extreme one. back in late july, russia has reduced gas exports to europe, leaving it with a large surplus of gas. that could be one explanation for the burn off. experts said at western sanctions could also be to blame. they say flaring might be a sign of russia lacking the proper equipment to operate. the facility bearing does come at a class, but both economically and environmentally. and there's a loss associated with wearing, obviously, because you're burning off those valuable products that could otherwise be sold. so i would say flaring isn't, you know, it is only done if necessary. and that's why we've seen widespread it's, it's minimized wiring over the years. but i would say it's if russians doing this,
9:10 am
it's possibly due to, you know, geo politics. but it could also very much be technical issues and possibly even safety issues from russian energy company. gas problem has not commented on the burning off of gas at the port to via facility. the u has accused russia using gas is a weapon to fight back against sanctions imposed over the war in ukraine. other stories making headlines now. pakistan's prime minister, shibel sharif, is taken in the aerial tour of the worst areas hit by the flooding in the southern province of sin on soon rains. and they're aftermath affected more than 30000000 people killing more than 900. pakistan is appealed for international health to deal with the disaster. an air strike is shit. the capital of ethiopia is to gr i region killing 4 people. the army has dismiss claims like to brian forces that it carried out the attack emacula. the united nations has condemned the resumption of fighting in the region. in the u. s. the justice department says 14 boxes containing

9:12 am
having taken these documents with him after he lost the 2020 election. and he was keeping top secret documents owned by the federal government in his private residence, meaning an unauthorized location for this type of document. so under the presidential records act, removing official records of this kind may constitute a criminal offense. the former president save the polity. latan getting him for political reasons. many people expect him to run again in 2024. but us authorities are concerned that his actions may have threatened national security. cotton president joe biden is staying out of it. we feel that it is not appropriate for us to comment on this. this is an independent investigation that the department of justice is leading. that's something that the president finds is an important thing to do for the department of justice to have that independence going to be
9:13 am
a very hard so far. no formal accusations have been made against trump, but the affidavit has revealed why the surge at mara lago was necessary in the eyes of federal investigators. china is suffering a crippling drought. the heat wave is the worst on record, and it's wreaking havoc with harvest and power supplies. the young's, the river, china's most vital inland waterway. the water flow has dropped to only half of the suffrage, putting pressure on hydro electric plans that supply power to megacities, such as chunking, sweating through temperatures as high as 45 degrees with limited power supply. residents say the heat has disrupted every aspect of their lives were warm, but yeah, we decided to close alba because we were struggling to create a nice atmosphere with the limited electricity supply. this is affecting our work
9:14 am
and my life to a huge degree. so hold on, a southern china is experiencing the longest stretch of high temperatures and drought since reco began. 6 decades ago, scientists say sustained periods of heat are becoming more frequent due to climate change. and then take a colinza $34.00 according to the current monitoring. the high temperature damage index is the high since 1981. you don't want hartford, and that is on goal. enchanted such a long period of hot weather in the southern regions is unfavourable to growing produce a higher farmers are already battling to save their crops. reduced harvest could mean an increased need for imports. while global supplies are already strained by the war in ukraine. but there is little these farmers and change color thought can be either the crops or all scorched, you see, or what,
9:15 am
what another urban residence in shanghai also learning to cope with the current crisis as to cities like go out to safe electricity. it's dark reminder of a dark future. if global warming remains unchecked. up next sports life looks at serial bonus league or champions buyer and munich. stay tuned for that. don't forget, you can always stay up to date on d, w dot com every day, counts for us and for our planet. global ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make cities greener? how can we protect animals and their habitats? what to do with all our waste we.
