the latest strains of the army, cranberry at the new booster shots could go into arms in a matter of days. plus glitz and glamour returned to venice for the 1st mosque, free edition of the celebrated film festival. since the pandemic hit ah, i've been for sewland, thanks for joining us. preventing a nuclear accident. that's the state admission of inspect this from the u. when's nuclear watchdog that you on site at ukraine's giant separation facility experts will check the safety of the russian occupied plant, which has seen several near disasters in recent weeks. in the last hour, the head of the international atomic energy agency affair. grossey said the mission is proceeding despite the continued thread from me. by shelley we are moving. we

are aware of the current situation. there has been increased the meaning daddy activity, including this morning a different rear recently, a few minutes ago. i have been briefed by the ukrainian regional military commander here about that and the inherent risks. but the weighing, the pros and cons and having come so far, we are not stopping. we are moving now. we know that that is up and an area as you know that this. busy fall, i graze own where the last line of the 3 defense comes. and before the 1st line of the russian occupant of your body forces begin. a where the risks are significant. at the same time, we consider that we have the minimum of additional level accepting that there is a very, very high d, w, correspond mathias putting a is standing by for us in separation. but here's what more do we know about the un

team's mission today. then the hope is to arrive at the plant to day and to sought their work. what they're going to do there is to see the working conditions of the people who are working there, whether they can work in conditions that ensure safety with all the safety protocols are still in place. the safety mechanism, still working, whether the fuel that have been stored there is still there and things like that. it's a dangerous trip. he has just said, it's because they have to cross the line. it's the 1st time at the i a has to cross a front line and a war um and there have been, has been showing this morning and a have been warnings that this might not go ahead, which is heard or seen the head of the military administration year saying that the mission might not be able to proceed. we don't know much about much more then there

are reports that this shelling continues with. i guess both sides again blame each other. yes, that's what's happening. there was shelling again in the, at the site in a harder and there has also been shelling at least that was the ukrainian side says off the road there, there shelling ukrainians accused the russians off of the greys on that he has to be of in speaking of how successful can this mission and really be considering they do need time and time is not on their side. so that help is that they some of the inspectors that have that are going men are, will stay there. and we're continuously monitor the situation. the russians have in principles said that they would agree to that and i am, has said that they want to do that. that would of course be crucial because i'm in

a day or 2, it's possible to just clean up a few things and you know, a present a picture and then i what happens after they leave is unclear. so staying mer continuously monitoring would probably and hands the activity of this mission by a lot. but that would take commitment from both the russians and the ukrainians in trying to find a joint solution here, wouldn't it? i think the ball is on the russian side. if through, if russia agrees that they can stay there, they can stay there. ukraine doesn't have any influence on what's happening on site . i think the most important part from the ukranian side was to allow safe passage for them to negotiate the route of passage to ensure that nothing will happen to them on the way that was the ukrainian par. they also gave them information about

what they should inspect their technical details about the power plant. but whether they can stay on site is more a decision that the russians have to make the w smith, he has voting on many things. tributes continue to be paid to mikhail gorbachev. the last leader of the soviet union who died on tuesday at the age of 91, many western leaders of pricing go, which offer his role in ending the cold war. russian president vladimir putin hailed him as an extraordinary global statesman. but the general reaction in russia has been muted. many there blame gorbachev for the country's loss status as a global superpower. that is reflected in the uncertainty over gorbachev funeral arrangements. the former president is expected to be laid to rest in a ceremony on saturday, but it's unclear whether he will award the honor be awarded the honor of a state funeral and where the putin, president putin will be in attendance himself. his more on how gorbachev's fellow

russians view his legacy. russia's news channels reported that president lud amir putin had expressed his deepest condolences. but musk invites themselves were not united in mourning their former leader. one waiter was guys a will he laid the foundation fraud, democracy that existed in the late ninety's and early 2 thousands was much more. he was a remarkable politician. the only and last president of our country who did good and bad things of that as well. you'll see that the country fall apart, and now my relatives live in a different country. the ex soviet republics origin together anymore. that's bad ocean front. we lost our home country and are restoring it. now. it was a big one. now it's a small one. wiling. in gorbachev's, homeland ambivalence reigns, kremlin spokesman dmitri pasco, of hailed him as a statesman who will go down in history, but dismissed his hopes, of a rapprochement between russia and the west. as romanticism that did not work out was in the face of what he called the bloodthirsty innes of moscow's opponents. the

united nation says china, the tension of weekends and other was the minority groups in the north western sion jang region may constitute crimes against humanity. a long delayed report by the un human rights offers cited what it called creditable allegations of patterns of torture at what beijing dubbed vocational training centers. the report also urge china to release detainees and clarify the whereabouts of the disappeared. the chinese government opposed the release of the report and has denied the accusations . human rights groups have welcome the report as a powerful rebuttal to beijing's long standing denials of human rights violations in the region. this report should be a wake up call to the international community as to the reality of what is happening in jin chang. there is now ample evidence that the chinese government is committing grave. human rights abuse is engine jang, including crimes,

production of protective antibodies that can recognise and latch on to the surface of the corona virus. especially it's spike protein that can stop the virus from docking on to cells to infect them and flag it up for destruction by other immune system defenders. but if the structure of the spike protein changes due to mutation, it can have consequences. the immune system might no longer quickly recognise the invader. ami kron has over time adapted to become all the more efficient for infecting human cells. there are a number of parameters and characteristics that make it a really difficult virus to deal with. one of which is because it has changed some of its surface structure by a mutation. and the spike has a number of changes m r n. a vaccines use snippets of genetic code to make the body

produced despite protein to stimulate an immune response to sars cove. you to re writing the code is a pretty fast and straightforward process and changing it, changes to vaccines associated spike protein. so why have alma con specific vaccines taken so long to arrive? this has a lot to do with 2 factors. factor one, we're not sure that better adapting and refining the vaccine is genuinely going to afford a market improvements in protecting against future infections. and then of course, at the level of the manufacturer, decisions has to be made. when do we bite the bullet? and actually now produce a new vaccine experts hope messenger r n a vaccine technology will help us keep pace with new variance of sars covey too
