about the site security, russian state news agency of leann of austin as our ukrainian me filed strike as punched a hole in the roof of fuel their power to plant russia backed officials. i radiation levels are still normal, but people 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 u. n's nuclear watchdog has dispatched a team of experts to the site led by agency chief rafael grossi. they're set 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. yes there is. i think this is very good knees. 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 you her it. but i still remember channel, 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 iodine tablets to be taken in the event of a radiation leak. to prevent the manila 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 a half 1000 children. while hopefully these tablets won't have to be taken. the stand off over euro's biggest nuclear facility remains tense, and moscow continues to reject international calls for

a demilitarized zone to avert potential disaster. the w correspondence yon phillips shelves in keys told me more about the nuclear inspectors proposed visit. 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 staff's 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 events. 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 a 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. the separation power plant is really right at the front line. ukraine continues to accuse the russia of using the side as a military base. on the other hand, russia says ukraine is selling the plant on a regular basis. you just mentioned it's, it reports have just come in. that's, are you ukranian? the ukraine in missile has hit a fuel depot. but so from what we can say,

it's information that i originate, sir, with the ukraine or the russian installed officials and looking at russia history of spreading this 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 the regular radiation levels there seem to still be in a normal range, but the situation remains very tense. ok, thank you for that young and it shows in keith now supporters of iraq's influential cleric mocked outsider, have stormed baghdad. government palace, a curfews in place after the army was deployed to disperse the crowd and to call on protesters to leave the green zone. at least 2 people have been killed and dozens

injured. violence comes out after al santa announced he was quitting politics and closing his offices. is followers of held weeks of protest calling for reform in iraq, which has been without a government all leader since and elections last october. were john davison is iraq bureau chief for reuters news agency in baghdad. he updated me on the situation there. this very tense this evening after these classes earlier today. so there were protests after and looked at all. others announced that he was withdrawing from politics, want to rule, and his supporters of classroom supporters of other shiite muslim groups. so there's at least 2 people have been killed and the moment as we understand there are pickup trucks of armed men are circling in baghdad, driving around from both sides. so the situation looks very, very touching at the moment. and perhaps you can explain the background to us because it seems it seems extraordinary about

a failure cleric announcing that he's quitting politics should lead to political violence. how does one lead to the other? yes, was not the 1st time that he's announced that he's going to withdraw in some shape or form from the political process or in doing this in, in making. this move has basically given the green light to some of his supporters who were already occupying some government buildings to sort of do whatever they wanted without a leader to control them all to tell them to, to back off. so that's what prompted the escalation. and why is the country without a president or prime minister all anything since the elections in october iraq normally goes through a phase of, you know, several months of political dead law co negotiation were different parties decide which ministries they're going to get and not get this time looked at also to

refuse to deal with some parties, most of them, but is aligned with iran and wanted a government which was just him and his allies. because that didn't happen. he decided to withdraw his lawmakers from parliament, but he still stays these mass demonstrations and it's, it's led to the, the worst political deadlock that we've seen so far in iraq has been the longest, longest ever since. 2003. so from what you've said, given that he's done this before, i'm given that his latest or announcement comes after he's read, he's withdrawn his political weight from, from proceedings. it sounds like very like it to be another. come back by this time, i'll only come back on my terms. that's a possibility. he might only come back on his terms. another possibility is, but it just devolves even further into sort of uncontrolled st. clashes as a, as it did today, it's really, really unclear and it's never sure with,

with me at all said, or what, what will be next as today. you know, his announcement itself was also, was yet another surprise to lot of observers. thank you for taking you through that . so clearly john davidson are from vs news agency in baghdad. now to pakistan and the international monetary fund has approved a request for an extra $1100000000.00 in bailout funding. as the country struggles with 2 months of devastating, a monsoon flooding by his hands planning, planning ministers as it might take 5 years to rebuild and recover from this years . historic flooding. international aid has begun to arrive, but many say they have lost everything. drone images reveal the extent of the devastation near pakistan's indoors river. the floods have destroyed bridges in 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 are absolutely devastating. i happen to see any, any destruction or devastation of this scale. i find it very difficult to put into words the freely oddities 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. like all of all of their love, a lot of water entered our village. our homes are submerged model. some of our relatives have died. we're not receiving any relief from the government. there's

also worry about what still to come monsoon season isn't over yet. more rain and flooding as expected and could leave a 3rd of the country under water. it's quick look at a couple of other stores making headlines. nasa is called off a launch of its next generation luna rocket launch. cape canaveral in florida was postponed because of a fuel leak and an engine problem. the next attempt is scheduled for friday at the earliest. the much anticipated project is master's 1st mission to the moon for 50 years. and on goal is electoral commission has declared the country's long ruling m p l. a part of the winner of last week selections giving president jour lorenzo a 2nd term commission at his party. 151.2 percent majority through than half of our goal is registered versus i turned out will be the lose. the other increase covered those elections and joins us now from cape town. welcome address. let's start with

the result. tell us more awful. the big question of the moment is how will the opposition re exit. you said it earlier. they already contested the preliminary results saying their own parallel vote counting came up with other numbers. so now they basically have the chance to react legally. they can 1st complain to the electoral commission and in a 2nd step possibly go to the constitution of the court. but of course, they could also ask their supporters to go on the street so far. they have asked them to stay calm. stay at home, and things have been com, but this could possibly still change when i was in alumni yesterday in the capital . you see there's a lot of tension, a lot of people do want to demonstrate. do want to go on the street that young people told us they have the feeling their vote was raked and manipulated. and although there is no evidence for, for any vote manipulation during the counting process, the conditions of these elections were not free and fair. just to give you some examples that the state media was actually only exclusively reporting about the governing party. the number of election ag observers was really drastically reduced

. 1500 election are observed for more than 13000 polling stations. and also the electoral commission is not really independent and still under control of the government and a brief word about what a 2nd term for president le ranko is likely to mean for the country to drown. and so became president 5 years ago and portrayed himself as a reformer. after almost 50 years of m. p l, a rule, he allowed more freedoms. he went after corrupt individuals, also within the own government. but a lot of things still need to be addressed. angola is africa's biggest or the producer, yet is the country of massive inequality of people still starving their their school's webpage. students are learning under trees on the same time, one of the richest capitals in the world. so these are big issues that are launched ardently need, sir. attention, banker adder and adder increased his reminder of our top story at this hour. the international atomic energy agency has one of his team, and he says,

one of its teams is that having to that region, nuclear power plant to carry off inspections. later this week, i'm russia and ukraine, the fuse each other of chevy close to the size of me growing international affairs of a nuclear disaster. news asia 8th. next, we've had bearish, prodigy, and bred. gough will have more world news of the talk of the day. 3 munich, 15 years ago, the international gathering of peace and cooperation becomes the scene of a horrible tragedy. arab terrors, armed with sub machine guns, went to the headquarters of the israeli team and immediately killed one man.
