which is seen several near disasters in recent weeks. rosalind sold authorities in the nearby town of in a honda accused ukraine of drones strikes on the power station. but russia accused of shelling, ukrainian held nickel pole on the opposite bank of the nepa river. and other areas near the plant, including the city of salisbury ship today the plants operate has said it had shut down one of its reactors due to ongoing fighting, thereby leaving only one reactor online. they had a, b, i. e, a rafa grossey said the mission is going ahead despite the danger we are moving. ah, we are aware of the current situation. there has been a increased military activity including this morning. and until very recently, a few minutes ago, i have been briefed by the ukrainian regional military commander here about that and the inherent risks. but weighing the pros and cons and having come so far,
11:03 am
we are not stopping. we are moving now. we know that there is an area, as you know, that the so called a gray zone, where the last line of the ukrainian defense comes and before the 1st line of the russian occupant occupying forces begin at where the risks are significant. at the same time a we consider that we have the minimum conditions to move accepting that there is a very, very high detail use, but he has spelling a is in separation. he told me more about the you when teams mission today. you know they've left this morning or in the direction of the front line. um we are hearing that they're stuck now at the ukrainian on the ukranian side at a checkpoint or and there's shelling in the greys on that he has just talked about . um, so it's unclear whether they can proceed to day fighting seems hard to have escalated a little bit in the area that concerns the news from the place itself,
11:04 am
from in our door. and also from the road there. the road has been according to ukrainian authorities. the road has been shelled by the russians in the past few days already several times. and that seems to be the reason also, according to the ukrainian sources. we don't have a confirmation from the other side for that particular news. that seems to be the reason why they cannot pass at the moment. we will see later whether they will have to return or whether they can move on. mathias, this is extremely dangerous mission for the inspectors. a. lauren, what they face there at the plant, but then just getting there as well through through this fighting. and it's hard to work out who's doing what isn't it? it's pretty difficult. it's actually as far as we know, the 1st time that this authority has to cross the frontline in a war,
11:05 am
they are inspecting usually nuclear and nuclear weapons programs and new nuclear plants around the world. but they are, it hasn't happened yet that one of these are facilities was in a fighting zone. and it's very difficult to figure out many things right now because what we are seeing is that there is constant shelling. russia is accusing ukraine of shelling from over the river. look, if you look at the geography a little bit. and her daughter is just on the south side of a water reservoir. all the territories around it are controlled by the russians and the territories north of the water reservoir are controlled by the ukrainian so the ukrainians would shoot several kilometers across the water. why the russians have been shelling from the particular site that's established of this power plant. these places on the other side that on the ukrainian control. now who's shelling
11:06 am
what is very difficult to say. but according to some residents i've spoken to, the shelling seemed to be coming from close by that would exclude that it came from the ukranian side. however, this is not really hard evidence. we don't know. there's also news that the ukraine has descended a parachute is in order to take back the plant. that's what the russians have said to day. also very difficult to veri, verify, but according to the military strategies that would be highly improbable. it would be suicide mission because all the territory is controlled by the russians. there's no supply line and he would send these people basically into hostile territory without back up. but that's the news that came out today. so you can see the environment is really, really murky. informational environment and mathias, this isn't just about inspecting the plant, and this is also about monitoring this,
11:07 am
this facility long term. but that's what they're hoping to do. the gross, he said to day that they want to leave, inspect is behind when the mission, when the, when the main part of the mission will leave. and we'll, we'll, we'll travel back in a few days some so should stay on site. and that's actually something that would be very sensible to do because you can of course, create a picture for several days, but to maintain that picture of something else is really going on there. meaning if you move out, for example, military equipment from there, along to a mission would for example, maybe ensure that you don't move it back or they would even, they would see at least if you move it back. if that's the, if that is one of the cases, of course, these systems also the security system that they need to monitor their and that, that are checking upon. now, they also need to be monitored long term. russia has said that they would be ready
11:08 am
to leave a few inspect is there as a long term mission. so the hope of course, is that this can happen. but as with anything in this mission, we don't really know what will happen in 5 minutes. so we don't also know whether there's anything long term as always, but he has thank you very much for your 40 the united nation says chinese detention if we get into other muslim groups in the northwest and should jang region may constitute crimes against humanity in a long delayed report, the u. when's human rights office said there was credible evidence of torture, forced medical treatment and sexual violence in camps which beijing coals training centers the reporters, china to release all detainees and explain the whereabouts of the disappeared. the chinese government opposed the release of the report and rejected the accusations as waste and back foss. human rights groups have welcome the findings as a powerful rebuttal debate james long standing denials of abuse. this report should be
11:09 am
a wake up coal 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 abuses, engine jang, including crimes. under international law. the u. s. findings are just the latest in a long line of damning reports on china's treatment of muslim minorities. i also corresponded bobby on crunch my to what stood out to him about this report. when many of the sex were already well documented before, but the un report gives it a whole new level of authenticity and also urgency. and yet it's, or i would say that the report is very strong because it's not only based on the witness of human rights victims, but it's also based largely on official data government data. and that puts the chinese government in a really a weak spot because they always are denied any wrong doing. and but, and,
11:10 am
and it don't even agree on the facts. but if most of the information is provided by the government itself, and that doesn't really make a lot of sense. so really the, the pressure against her against aging is really increasing. we mentioned their potential crimes against humanity. can you expand on that yet? sure. so i'm at the report says that and they are really great and human rights violations and possibly even crimes against humanity that, that is basically one of the most severe possible accusations. and the report specifically, mentions are forced labor in those or political re education camps. and it also mentions am torture, physical torture. and it refers also to the very drastically plunging a birth rates and some of the counties and since young and our experts and researchers have attributed that to foster realizations. however, what the am a report did not do it did not answer the question whether, what happened in our sins young constitutes her genocide or cultural genocide or
11:11 am
not. it doesn't really mentioned that question based on the facts or of what you mentioned to her about this evidence, from official documentation what, what, what would you say about the reaction of bay jenks? yes. so in the 1st reaction, basically, beijing denied em every thing. it doesn't really em deal with the criticism. it only says that this un report is stand by a western governments. and what will happen probably is that our, the government here will ramp up and censorship. i don't think that the criticism will find its way into the chinese public discourse and are so probably seating ping, the state leader will m a ramp up and the nationalism here, because in 6 weeks there's a historic party congress during which he will most likely proclaim a 3rd term in office and during that time am yet a stability is key for the leadership here and they don't want to deal with any
11:12 am
criticism or anything that a could cause instability in the i. so i think the national listen will only get worse and the coming weeks of income probably let me just briefly at that show. hm . they will establish the new rent rate of that and yeah, yeah, the well established under rate of that basically the west is trying to limit china's rights and they will basically victimized themselves and don't want to deal with any criticism. okay. harvey and credit in beijing. thank you very much for the inside. the united nation says millions of people in pakistan are without access to medical care following devastating floods. hundreds of healthcare facilities have been damaged or destroyed after heavy rain submerged up to a 3rd of the country. the floods have led to more than a 1000 deaths and left survivors a risk of malnutrition and illness from waterborne diseases. we thought hun scans to soaked ruins of her home. the mother of 9 daughters lives in northern
