young people clearly have the solution, the future with this 77 percent, every weekend on d w ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, nuclear experts are trying to reach ukraine's parisha power station. a you and team plans to survey the safety of the russian occupied plant. it's operator says it has shut down one of its reactors due to ongoing shelling nearby. also coming up the un

accuses china of possible crimes against humanity in jin chang. a report says there's evidence of torture and abuse inside caps for wiggers and other minorities china rejects the charges. ah, i'm mixed by sir. welcome to the program. nuclear experts from the international atomic energy agency are trying to reach ukraine's giant. this apparition facility, a convoy of un vehicles, is waiting at checkpoints en route to the plant. they're aiming to check the safety of the russian occupied power station, which has seen several near disasters in recent weeks. russian installed authorities in the nearby town of enter hold are accused ukraine of drone strikes on the plant. but russia is accused of shelling ukrainian held nico pole on the opposite side of the geneva river. and other areas near the plant,

including the city of operation. to day the plants operator said it had shut down one of its reactors due to ongoing fighting nearby, leaving only one reactor on line. the head of the i. e. a half ago c said the mission is going ahead. despite the danger, we are aware of the current situation, there has been increased military activity, including this morning. we know that that is an area as you know, the so called greys own, where the last line of the ukrainian defense comes. and before the 1st line of the russian occupant occupying forces begin where the risks are significant. at the same time, we consider that we have the minimum conditions to move accepting that there is a very, very high i think that the correspond him at his billing or is standing by force in his apparition, a ts. what more do we know about the un teams mission today?

yeah, they have left here this morning and drove to the line and are what we're hearing is that it's been a few hours now that they've been standing on the ukrainian side. the ukranian blog post seemingly not to let them pass as there is shelling behind the lines. the shelling has been reported from this morning. we've also heard about shelling on the site itself in order again i'm the russians have said that there was a that ukrainians have tried to land on the sides was a very murky situation. of course, the mission is, is trying to get there to assess the damage that has been done to the plant so far we've. we know that several of the lines have suffered from the shelling that connect the plans to the grid to assess whether the security mechanisms that we have in every plan that would control the cooling or that would a fuel the cooling systems with a power. if the plant itself goes off bridge,

that all that these systems are working in order to assess the working conditions of the personnel. they're the personnel that is ukrainian stuff. but that is that, but the plant being run by the russian authorities, the russian atomic energy authority. and if the i 8 e 18 is to get to the plant and the shelling is to stop and it were able to broker some kind of solution. do we have any idea of what shape that might take to ensure the safety of the people in the region? the aim of the mission is that some of these experts will stay behind when the mission and the head of the mission leave. when they travel back to ukraine, ian territory, and the they will be able to monitor the situation constantly because the problem is, if they come there now, and if things are, as we suspect, if

a lot of military equipment was, it was there, as people have told us would have been working there until recently and if, if there is a lack of stuff, et cetera, which is also something we've been hearing um that term, you know, you could drive out the military equipment for a day or 2. that's not a big problem. or bring in additional stuff. so being there long term would of course be important to assess the constant damage being done, the deteriorating. that's also something that we've been told that that this situation is deteriorating. gradually. it's not that from one day to the other, it's from, it goes from safe to unsafe, but that are all the delays in maintenance, et cetera. all these things, they add up and i am having some where they're constantly of course would hopefully i with, with, with good access of course to the site and to the,

to the workers that would obviously help us a lot better and help the authorities on both sides and the i e, a understand much better what is going there on there and which risks are developing and i guess for the whole world to take it to breathe easier about it, about a possible nuclear catastrophe in ukraine to debbie's mathias billing or thanks so much for that inside the united nation says chinese detention of wiggers and other muslim groups in the northwestern jin chang region may constitute crimes against humanity. in a long rate delayed report, the un human rights office said there was credible evidence of torture, forced medical treatment and sexual violence in camps which begin calls, training centers. the report urged china to release all the paintings and explain the whereabouts of the disappeared. chinese government opposed the release of the report and rejected the accusations as a western backed farce. and for more i'm joined now by onions

kenema in geneva. she's the secretary general of amnesty international. this human rights organization that has been flagging human rights abuses, engine shank for years. ah, thanks for joining us. and yes, do these allegations match amnesty findings? yeah. oh good much them are. they found the crimes against humanity we forgot to detention and discrimination. they from syria of human rights violations, waiving the detention a motel to torture, sexual violence, violation, so reproductive rights, they hold on by issues of freedom of religion. so overall, they matched very way. what we found with human rights watch found went to number of other legal human. my so gonna position as found, but they add something. ease again, chandra,

that report because it's coming from the un because it's coming from a high commissioner rule. until recently it was really doing everything she quit to avoid a criticizing china. and because china has made such effort to send, so the report. so the fact that keeps coming out the fact that it is quite strong, either game changer for the international community. i want to get to the delay in publishing in a 2nd. but 1st of all, the report contents stopped short of calling china's action a genocide or something similar like god. is that a mistake in your estimation? well, unless you tell us, so it did not call clearly either that there was jo side, the crime of genocide. he's extremely, if he court to document to prove he story pretty and very few cases of general find them actually being found by court of law. so these are, you know,

and or so we don't need to make a game or key in e, o, of, of crimes, of crimes against humanity is extremely serious. and should be taken of, such by the international community. and it means that the international community is duty bound to act. we don't need a general side for the international community to act. so crimes against humanity is a very good, very waiting formed conclusion. and one that he's pushing, enforcing the international community to react. let me just get back if i may to that delay question. why did it take so long? you were bring up earlier. the report is published on the final day of the job of the un high commissioner for human rights. me said bachelor, what took so long? well, the story that comes from the way that they needed more time to check in fact and to allow the usual right to reply from from china.

the story we think is closer to the truth is that china put a lot of pressure on the un and on me shouldn't, by shooting out. so not too rece the report. and indeed, every webs that has been hunted by china over the last few months, testifying to their ego, they sweeting, this to sensor their report. so i think the delay is a reflection of the day we leaving of the polarization and of the price showed that everyone he's under withering. so un agency or indeed an injury on acting like cows . it's, it's good, it's good that finally has been released better later than never. it's good that it so it's coming as a strong report. and frankie, china can not act. he was a triple being biased because of the time he took because it's coming from these

particular high commissioner. and because the report itself, or told documents heavily how the chinese rules and policies violate international human. right. so, so it's really an analysis on we, the china palm, we, the, the chinese system of repression. they cannot attack that because the, the report uses every one of those rules and policies to demonstrate that they, by unity international human rights. so it's a very clever rico. thank you so much. and yes, karima, amnesty international secretary general. thank you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making the news around the world. russia and china have begun a series of military drills and rushes far east. the 1st since 2018 moscow says the week long exercises will involve over 50000 troops from multiple countries.
