a nuclear power plant and it wouldn't just be a disaster for ukraine. it would affect all of europe. 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 the radiation leak. to prevent them either to particular, it's a preventive m 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

5:06 pm
a regular basis. you just mentioned it's, it reports have just come in vets, are you ukranian? the ukraine in missile has hit a fuel depot. but so from what we can say, it's information that arise an acer with the ukraine air, the 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. their egg seem to still be in a normal range, but the situation remains very tense. okay, thank you for that young and it shows in keith well, in the last few days, john philip traveled to one of the frontline regions of the war in east and ukraine,
5:07 pm
where russia's territorial gains have been limited. there he met ukrainians trying to get on with their lives, despite the ongoing danger of wool. 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 are all a raj at the local supermarket soldiers to 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 cup. would she know is doc key in sheer by sometimes we hear the missiles flying over us and we hear them exploding. it's scary. vicky it sounds always so terrifying, but we try to get on with our work. other man that i am with 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
5:08 pm
a slice of homemade cake with heels. when we get a break from the fighting, we come straight here, full coffee. nicole. diana is proud 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 affection when russian strikes came really close and people ran 1st felt cold will it? when we heard the shelling, we went to hide in the sample space. in the, after a few minutes we went back to work here medallion, the women have 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 is donated some they buy with their own money dopamine. i used to actually try to help the smaller children who arrived here from the occupied territories. we have, we have every diapers, lowe's toys, all the things they need to feel better today. but he has had as your budget,
5:09 pm
but you all are said the dover deanna. and alina have got used to working in the cafe on the front line. still they help one day to use the emergency room again for its original purpose. having a good time on us as multi $1000000000.00 autumn is moon mission has suffered. another disappointment after the u. s. space agency was forced to cancel today's rocket launch because of technical problems. this was the fina tech cape canaveral in florida. when the launch was cold, off the rocket on its unmanned capsule left sitting on the launch pad left off on hold because of fuel leak and the temperature issue with one of the 4 engines. the weather's also been a problem with thunderstorms causing delays. the next attempt or take place until friday at the earliest was a record charlie blackwell. thompson has called a scrub. ok, but the attempt of launch of artist one. this is so
5:10 pm
for more art, today's problems i spoke with astro biologist and format nasa employee keith county . 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 in the 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 and pressure. and they tried everything from, you know, pushing one button or another and try and went belt and it didn't work and 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? well,
5:11 pm
it was an unknown issue in that they had not actually tested the actual rocket on the actual launch pad or the actual fuel on this one thing. but today, when they did it the 1st time, one of the engines didn't behave had been tested this before. they've seen it, we don't know, but the point was they admitted it today was the 1st time. so yes, what they discovered while now they've discovered it back to the drawing board. but this is not the 1st delay. this has been delayed fade for years. i think 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, the cost of this. and i, i was, you know, 10 meters away from president bush in 24 when 2004. when he said, we're going to do this and we kept redesigning it, changing it. and our congress got into it and told us, steve, this rocket launched, what are we getting for? we're going back to the moon and now we're going with other countries,
5:12 pm
the upper stages and foods, the european contribution. and among the 1st people to walk on 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 go 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, you know, 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 of humanities, never seen that. so i remember how excited we were at back then 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 marsh app hole 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 sort of blogs, a but china and india. they're all doing this for the 1st time. they see the value
5:13 pm
in this, in terms of technology, in leadership and collaboration, so forth. and so i would just say that, you know, maybe you're in the u. s, we can't really explain why we're doing this, but around the world of countries are lining up to want to be part of this. so i don't have a simple answer for you, except we did it before and now many other countries want to do it again, and we're going to take them along with us. all right, great. okay, here. thank you so much. furniture finance are clearly asked her biologist, keith county. if you would take a look at the most doors making headlines around the world. and i was thought in iraq where it waste one person has died and dozens more injured after supporters of the countries partial credit mach tata, outsider, clash with security forces in baghdad. violence erupted, and after our son, his followers stormed the government palace, hours after he noticed he was quitting. politics is back as of course, held weeks of protests calling for reform. brazil, the main presidential candidates are faced off in the 1st televised debate ahead of

5:15 pm
caused by unprecedented monsoon flooding this year. or 30, say the catastrophe as a result of climate change caused by the burning of fossil fuels. international aid has begun to arrive, but many say they've lost everything. drone images reveal the extent of the devastation near pakistan's india's river. the floods have destroyed bridges and washed away many roads, forcing authorities to use boats, military planes, and helicopters to carry out difficult rescue operations. the government says one in 7 pakistanis are affected by these floods. that's more than 33000000 people. they're absolutely devastating. i haven't seen any for any destruction or devastation of this scale. i find it very difficult to put into
5:16 pm
words. the freely ologies that we use to whether it's monsoon rains, or flooding doesn't quite seem to encapsulate the ongoing devastation and disaster that we're still witnessing. relief efforts are underway across the country. still, many flood victims feel abandoned by the government. lot of all of all of their love by a lot of water entered our village. our homes are submerged law, some of our relatives have died. we're not receiving any relief from the government of them. there's also worry about what still to can monsoon season isn't over yet. more rain and flooding as expected and could leave a 3rd of the country under water. so it's been a year sincerest, military, left afghanistan, final weeks of the american present. so one of the biggest alex in history with more than a 100000 people flown out of cobble airport. but where did they go and what's
5:17 pm
happened to them since more than 75000 african refugees ended up in the u. s. and at least 27000 or in the e u while canada, australia and the u. k. also took thousands. initially, some afghans are regarded as high level, was sent to the us army camp leah in kosovo. but dozens, a still stuck there after failing to receive security clearances, to move on cost those committed to supporting them for another year. but for those left in limbo, the next step is far from clear. one year ago evacuated afghan allies were welcomed with open arms at a special camp in kosovo, designed by the united states as a temporary location to await what most expected would be quick. we settlements, we are honored to be able to help them with his whole works for nature. they left their homes and their country in desperation. but to day camp leah itself
5:18 pm
has become a place of desperation. for some evacuees who are still there, while hundreds have moved on, some have been rejected for a u. s. visa, others have received neither a yes or no. residents are not allowed to leave the camp and d w's request. a visit was denied. the situation is not with this evacuee shared a video and his views, but wishes to remain anonymous for security reasons. frustration boiled over earlier this summer, evacuees protested, holding signs, saying we want justice. this resident says the information vacuum is worse than being in prison. the prisoner with why he's here for how long you will be in detention if he asked, don't give us
5:19 pm
a reason why we are in this camp and for how lun. former afghan intelligence chief mohammed, our reefs, our warri, is among those rejected for us for settlement. his attorney, julie sirs, calls his situation shocking. i don't think there is any individual in afghanistan who did more than mister sar worry did to help the united states post 911. i think the treatment is highly improper, especially in cases like my clients who provided tremendous assistance, a great risk to his life. when the you as bills camp leah, it pledged all residents would be resettled within $365.00 days. but when evacuated or denied us visas, it raises a red flag and washington is having trouble finding other countries to take them. going back to afghanistan would mean certain death for many asked what the options may be for these residents. the state department offered no clarity,
5:20 pm
each vetting process is done on a case by case basis. and that's ongoing for those who remain there. that leaves the problem on cosello's doorstep, pristine and has agreed to extend the one year deadline. but that's not the only issue. there are evacuate, who do not have, who have not been given visas to go on to the united states. and will you accept these people to stay in kosovo if they do not find 3rd countries? so it's a humanitarian duty. on the other hand, it is due to towards our allies and partners and friends. oh, of course, 1st to full united states to help when they are in need and her, we will continue to do so. this is not a reassuring answer for those afghans who believed camp leah was just to lay over on their way to better lives. i one of the people who saw in that report as judy sir, she's the u. s. lawyer, representing one of the evacuation counselor. jones is not from california. welcome
5:21 pm
to the w. so do, do, do none of the people in camp leah know why they've been rejected for the settlement? no, i don't think as far as i know, any of them have been given a detailed response as to why they've been rejected or to why it's unclear whether they're rejected or not. and so i'm there. so they don't know why they're stuck there. they don't know how long they're going to be, stuff that i'm, they don't know where they will go next. if they do get moved on, is that as an accurate summation? that's correct. yes. so what are you hearing about the, the living conditions there, and during that i've heard that they're not great for, for short term. they might have been, all right, it's my understanding. they've been living in pen for some attempt at i'm at control, but basically intense all year round and in winter in summer as well. i know that
5:22 pm
some of them have had medical issues but have been able to be operated on because the conditions are not sufficient to allow them a proper environment to recuperate in so so again, it is a temporary measure that the camp might have been. all right, but for the longer term, the month to months that some of them have been there it's, it's not a very good condition. and the, the thing to remember here is that these are people who assisted us forces, who assisted nice of forces. i'm would believe to be a high level evacuation and then this happens. this must be so despair thing. i think it is, it's dispiriting. it's puzzling and it's unclear both to them and to those of us who are trying to assist them, why it's happening. it's very frustrating. i know i've been assured by others in
5:23 pm
the u. s. government, for example, in my client's case, that it should be clear to go. but that ben didn't happen. so it's, and i know others have had similar experiences. so i know it's just tremendously frustrating for them. so if the, the response from the state department told the department of defense is so vague, how do you fight about how do you say my client or indeed anyone has a rights to this? if you don't know the reason that they've been denied it, yes, that is very frustrating because in a typical immigration case, if someone is denied, you can at least appeal. but that that doesn't seem to be happening here. this isn't going through what would be more, more typical immigration procedures. so there really, so far i've found really isn't anything that can be done in a specific case. and the things to be know, plan for ok,
5:24 pm
if you are denied and no one else will take you. what then that isn't clear is it's my understanding that the state department has told the individual to remain that they will attempt to resettle them in another country. but of course, if the other countries think that they've been denied for some security reason, that makes it more difficult to settle them and. and as i mentioned, i from what i've seen of certain cases that clearly seems to be mistakes in, in the determination. bear. so these are individual, like you mentioned, who are very high level, who provided tremendous assistance at various points throughout the u. s. involvement in afghanistan and needles involvement in afghanistan. and yet now there's back in this limbo and i'm able to address what are the inaccurate allegations against them and don't even know what those are. so, and without a clear path to go anywhere else as a result of that. thank you so much for joining us. us lawyer, julie says,
5:25 pm
ah, well, we'll start with tennis at the us open more than 20 years ago, a teen egg. sabrina williams, when her 1st ever grand slam singles title, she eventually made the record books with 23 major titles. second only to australia's margaret court. now williams is set to end her 10th career, the very tournament to wear her single success began a 1st round, much is just hours away. so read serena williams is regarded by many as the best women's tennis player of all tie. 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 thought, well, happy sarita williams.
5:26 pm
now, 40 years old williams revealed the count down his started to a glittering career at the major, where it all began and love playing. now it's, it's like amazing but, you know, so i can't do this for ever. so it's just like sometimes you just wanna try your best to enjoy. the moments serena has become an 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 i thought set you up to date more world news at the top of the our science magazine tomorrow today is next. i'm
