ukraine's is up appreciate nuclear plant, which is not controlled by russian horses. inspectors are due to arrive this week following international warnings about the safety of europe's biggest nuclear facility. as it comes on increased attack d, w, travel. so the front line region of east in ukraine and visit cafe owners who spade open, despite the war raging on their doorsteps. and the end of an era at the us open with simple stuff. i mean williams about to play the final tournament of her story career. well, not that much more coming up in our sports route. ah . i'm feel welcome to the program. nasa's multi $1000000000.00 ultimate moon mission has suffered another disappointing stock . the u. s. space aging. he has had to cancel today's rocket launch because of

technical problem much rector charlie black, while thompson has called a scrub of the attempt of launch of artemus one. if this was the same at cape canaveral in florida, a short time ago with the rocket and its unmanned capsule still sitting on the launch pad left off on hold because of a fuel leak and a temperature issue with one of the 4 engines. weather's also been a problem with thunderstorms causing delays. the next attempt won't take place until friday at the earliest. now keep carrying ethan american, astro biologist, and format nasa employee. he joins us from washington, dc. a welcome to d. w. a. talk us through what went wrong this afternoon? well this is 1st, this is a test flight and they'll tell you then up front. and this is the 1st time that they ever actually got to this point in testing the rocket. and unfortunately, last time they tested it, this was supposed to be something that they tested and they didn't. so today when

they were putting liquid hydrogen through the system, one of the 4 engines didn't respond appropriately to the right temperature pressure . and they tried everything. come, you know, pushing one button or another and trying went belt and it didn't work. they went off to try and figure out if there are ways around this in after a 10 minute be keep meeting became nearly an hour long. they decided that they just couldn't get there today. we didn't watch window that they were being given. and by the way, the weather was getting bad a little bit to the west. so did i understand you correctly when you said this was a known issue? it was, well, it was an unknown issue in that they had not actually tested the actual rocket on the actual launch pad with the actual fuel on this one thing. but today, when they did it the 1st time, one of the engines didn't behave had they tested this before. they've seen it. we don't know, but the point was they admitted it today was the 1st time. so guess what? they discovered. well, now they've discovered it back to the drawing board, but this is not the 1st delay. this has been delayed for it for years. i think that

it was supposed to go in december 2016. it's billions over budget as well. it was our american taxpayers getting for all this money. well, it's a, we're paying the brunt of the cost of this, and i was your 10 meters away. president bush in 24 when 2004, where he said, we're going to do this and we kept redesigning it, changing it. and our congress got into it and told us that the folks at nasa, you have to use old shuttle parts. will they mandate? how the rocket was built, which is why we elect those people to congress, right? so he had all that together. it's the way he had delay and so forth. so, you know, a lot of people really want to see this rocket launched. what are we getting for? we're going back to the moon and now we're going with other countries, the upper stages and foods, the european contribution. and among the 1st people to walk in the moon in the system will be people from europe and canada and japan. so we're going back with

some friends, the stuff here, but going back with friends that that's, that's $23000000000.00 to take a to take your friends on a joint up to the moon. it's, it sounds like an enormous vanity project and we getting any more out of it than this. well, it's interesting because i am 66. i saw i thought about you, but i actually saw people walk on in the world wide more than half the humanities. never seen that. so i remember how excited we were a back read to if nothing else. this is something that a lot of people never see, but, you know, if you look at why we do things, there was an in marcia poll that was done recently of all countries around the world. and here in the u. s i put a picture up on my website at the national, not sleeping were sorta blah say, but china and india, they're all doing this for the 1st time. they see the value in this, in terms of technology and leadership and collaboration, so forth. and so i would just say that, you know, maybe here in the u. s, we can't really explain why we're doing this, but around the world of countries we're lining up to want to be part of this. so i

don't have a simple answer for you, except we did it before. now many other countries want to do it again, and we're going to take them along with us. all right, for talking to you. thank you so much for explain. your answer clearly asked her biologist, keith county, if you are experts from the international atomic energy agency, or on their way to ukraine supervision, nuclear power plant, which has been captured by russian forces. i. e. a head, raphael. grosse says. the team will visit the plant later this week and a growing concern over security at the site russian state news agency, ria, and of all stay assess a ukrainian missile strike as punched a hole in the roof of a fuel depot, the plant, russia back official, se radiation levels are still normal, but people living in the area are preparing for the worst. the situation at the separation nuclear power plot has set alarm bells ringing across europe and around the world. now the un nuclear watchdog has dispatched

a team of experts to the site lead by agency chief ref ale grossi. that's at to assess any damage to the plant and inspected security and safety systems when they arrive. later this week. in keith, some residence welcomed the visit otherwise, i think this is very good news. we certainly don't need another disaster at a nuclear power plant, and it wouldn't just be a disaster for ukraine. it would affect all of europe, but i still remember channel lighting. but others were more gloomy about what it could achieve. she was young if i'm not sure if the russian authorities will reveal the full reality on the ground and if they will really allow the team to improve the situation. sir, i do not believe that it will be any real results in cities and towns near the power plant. people are already preparing for the worst, and heading to sites like this one, where local authorities are handing out i'd on tablets to be taken in the event of

a radiation leak. to prevent the manito to particular, it's a preventive and prophylactic measure. you mustn't take the pill when you receive it. it must only be taken after an official notification from the authorities. or we cannot, we started the distribution last week, around 8 and a half 1000 people received tablets including 2 and a half 1000 children. while hopefully these tablets won't have to be taken. the stand off over years, biggest nuclear facility remains tense, and moscow continues to reject international calls for a demilitarized zone to avert potential disaster. let's take you straight to k van and join our correspondent young philip shawls. welcome, a young fellow. let's start with this or visit by atomic energy inspectors. or what else can you tell us or about it? well, they, inspectors are on their way to ukraine. they will probably arrive at the plant in

the 2nd half of the week, and they will start their work immediately. their main job is to assess the damages, but they also want to have a look at the steps general working conditions. and there are reports that the agency wants to install some permanent or staff there, some permanent representatives at the plans, and there are reports from the ukrainian sides vad sir the people here. welcome the mission, but some are still skeptic if they can really achieve what they want. the concerns here among the people are still huge when it comes to the possibility of a disaster mosque also says it's a well, comes a visit and that it could potentially clear up some misunderstandings. they

say about the plant safety, and now we have a vis hole in the, the roof of a fuel depot at the plant with each side accusing the other of attacking the area. how dangerous izzy there well, it is very dangerous still in the region. this apparition power plant is really right at the front line. ukraine continues to accuse the russia of using the side as it military base. on the other hand, russia says, ukraine is, says selling the plants on a regular basis. you just mentioned it's a reports have just come in. that's are you ukranian? the ukraine in missile has hit a fuel depot bad. so from what we can say, it's information that originate with the ukrainian or russian installed officials and looking at russia history of spreading dis information. we

should definitely be careful with the information. there is no way that we can independently verify the information at the moment since it's impossible to, to travel to the plant. the good news is that they're ready to radiation levels. they're a, seem to still be in a normal range. but the situation remains the very tense. okay, thank you for that yon. phillip shows in keith all in the last few days. and so they traveled to one of the frontline regions of the war in easton, ukraine, where russia's territorial gains have been limited. event with ukrainians trying to get on with their lives. despite the ongoing war we are on the road and east on ukraine. 20 kilometers from the front line and the last small town before the combat zone. signs of war, all are raj at the local supermarket, shows you their weekly grocery shopping before heading back to the trenches. the

situation is tense. in recent days, the russians have stepped up their attacks in this semi abandoned frontline town deanna angelina want to serve the best coverage she know east of here. and she by sometimes we hear the missiles flying over us and we hear them exploding. it's scary. tricky. it sounds always so terrifying, but we try to get on with our work on the mail that i was supposed to read to them . at 1st, they're small conflict zone cafe wasn't inside at it. now, soldiers often queue up outside for half an hour of peace and a slice of homemade cake. with when we get a break from the fighting, we come straight here, full coffee, local deanna as broad that they haven't closed back her face for a single day since the war started. only once had they been forced to take a vase of action when russian strikes came really close. and people ran 1st felt politically, when we heard the shelling,

we went to hide in the sample space. and after a few minutes, we went back to work. here with the women has set up their own small emergency aid center directly above the cafe. here they collect food medicine and hygiene products for families fleeing the surrounding villages. some of it has donated some they buy with their own money nipple. my lawyers did actually try to help the smaller children who arrive here from the occupied territories. we have, we have every, these diapers, lowe's toys, all the things they need to feel better. do the incubator he has had edge of touch up, which you all are said, the dover deanna. and alina have got used to working in the cafe on the front line . still, they held one day to use the emergency room again for its original purpose. having a good time at the german chancellor house announced plans for a conference to help organize the the reconstruction of ukraine. olaf shout said germany would continue to help rebuild the country's defense systems for as long as

necessary. speaking in prague on the future of european policy, the chancellor expressed support for a proposal by the french present emanuel macro, calling for greater political dialogue between states. he also promised backing for the extension of the e. u to include ukraine, moldova, georgia, and the western balkan nations. the name was lance and we aren't taking rush to the attack on peace in europe lying down. we will not stand idly by and watch women men and children being killed in the front or free countries being rubbed off the map and disappearing behind wolves or iron curtains. it's a work line. we don't want to go back to the 19th 20th century with a wards of occupation and totalitarian accesses on the all our europe is united in peace and freedom and is open to all european nations who share our values. above all, however, it is an active rejection of imperialism and autocracy this most on article. let's

take a look at what this means with judy dempsey, who is a european analyst with the county europe foundation. she joins us from brussels, a welcome to d, w. let's, let's start with the chances, remarks about unity. how united is europe over ukraine? well, rhetorically, as they are united, certainly effective when it comes to the sanctions, although there are leaks in the sanctions. but when it comes to the military support for ukraine, i think the european member states are actually quite divided. and it's the baltic states and poland and some other countries who are taking the lead in training are in supplying arms to ukraine. and there's a reluctance by some of the older west european countries, but what it actually shows is the kind of historical and cultural and political splits inside the u on how to deal with this war in ukraine. but it does sound from, from that the thumbnail sketch that you gave us that. but it's

a question of degree and speed rather than whether or not to support for you claims or is a good thing. is talking about speed. i mean this, this war has been devastating. it this russia attack on ukraine is going on 6 months now. and just it, we don't even have to consider the extraordinary and cost to civilians, to children, to schools, to hospitals, to the casualties, to the death, to the wanton destruction of brutality of this war. so, we speed in some ways is the essence for ukraine. that's the more that it help it can get militarily the hope that sooner rather than later, this war, it can end up least strengthen the hand of ukraine inside. if and when in negotiations ever start to actually have a ceasefire or end of it for how were rising energy prices this winter therefore likely to affect about unity? do you think?

oh, this is a, this is a great question. a hugh, i'm sitting actually in berlin here every, every day, every day it's energy prices will the storage facilities be filled and people complain or the energy bills are coming. and i noticed her fact by energy bill that's really quite shockingly doubled. but, you know, there's a section of the population that said subsidies enough enough of this energy prices . interestingly process hasn't a fed into, is feeling that his warmest and, and we have to have negotiations for the moment. the mood is still solid. it's, it's strong behind ukraine. but this is germany and france is complaining and they naturally like the energy cost. interestingly, if you talk to people in the baltic states or in poland. yes, very high energy costs, but they're, they're resilience and their patience and understanding for ukraine is, is very,

very high. and they say this is the cost for ukraine, independence, freedom, fine. we can shouldered these costs, right? a brief events are where we have you countries being forced to change defense policies because of the war. germany, a noticeable amongst you think those, these changes are sustainable. what you mean by sustainable and defense spending is inconsistent among the e u. member states in the nation member states. but a member id, the support for ukraine come to e. u. member states is really driven and led by di nighted states. and of course, the baltic states, as i mentioned earlier in poland, a very, very instrumental in seen to the old member seats at the u. this is about european security. this is about the independence of, of a sovereign country. this is about the future construction on how we're going to deal with europe. this is why we need security and defense structures. and at the

moment these have not yet been established. although the defense minister, the e will beat it tomorrow and discuss if they would provide some kind of you training to the ukrainian military forces. but actually given the record of, of the you and training it, this is not their fault if, when it comes to raji issues. good, talking to thank you so much for joining us. judy dempsey from our coming to your picture, right. look at some all stores making headlines around the world. international aid has begun to reach pakistan as the army and volunteers trying to evacuate tens of thousands of flood victims. and usually have a monsoon range of trigger, flash floods, clay with the lives of more than a 1000 people in the summer. u. s. navy says 2 of its waters have sailed through the taiwan straits in the 1st section full since the recent escalation of tensions between china and us back to taiwan. the self ruled island is under constant threat

oh, she's the only player, male or female to win 3 different grand slams 6 times or more. her 1st of 6 in new york came decades ago. i was happier. sarita williams. now, 40 years old williams revealed the count down his started to a glittering career at the major where it all began. i love playing now it's, it's like amazing but, you know, i can't do this forever. so it's just like sometimes you just when i try your best to enjoy the moments serena has become in i cod, in inspiration to the next generation of tennis players and arguably the greatest

of all time williams 1st met to new york could also be the final match of her decorated singles career if it is, fans will still be able to see serena alongside her sister venus in the doubles tournament at the us open. in football and nearly promoted brahman ad, your of league, when as a frank fraud, rounded off the weekend's bonus league a mattress and it was a case of saving the best for last, there was no shortage of goals with frankfort. eventually coming out on top, frankfurt were all smiles after their 1st ever champions lay draw this week about without to win yet this season and with key play, a date g camera room it to be leaving the club there was cause for concern not so at breyman who were in fine spirits after beating dormant last weekend. thanks to new signing oliver burke. but it was visitors, frankfurt who started on fire mario gut. so with the opener, the midfield,

a scoring his 1st goal since arriving at the club in just a 2nd minute. raymond struck back though antony young hammond in the equalizer in the 14th minutes, and there was plenty more action to come before half time. first, breyman took the lead through leonardo bitten courts header, the frank that defense nowhere to be found. leaving keeper, kevin, trapped stranded. then it was frankfurt, turned to school again, randal colo, milani's fancy footwork, making it too too, with just over half an hour on the clock. but that wasn't all. yes, berlin, strong kept an incredible 1st half with a delicate chip. the pendulum swinging frankfurt way again at the end of a frantic 1st half. and after the break, they picked up where they left off jib bill, so curling home to make it for 2 that appeared to be that until branan,

we're awarded a penalty. in stoppage time, nicholas full true, converted an brain and needed just one more gulf or a drawer. but frankfort, just about held on for a for 3 when their 1st league victory at the new campaign on sundays or the game, colona stood. god played out a nil old drawer and part faxed to the heroic such took got goalkeeper florian mueller. with almost the last touch of the game roland made of stunning save to the disbelief of cologne fans. young tillman's vicious volvic looked destined to break the deadlock just before the final whistle. but milan made himself a here if a shortcut to give them a 3rd draw out of full games. looks for stafford has won the belgian grown prey. i grid penalties and qualifying forces for milan champions to start the racing 14th place, but that didn't stop the red ball driver who took full advantage of his
