a permanent base on site their mission is to prevent a nuclear accident. they know they're heading into a war zone, but that won't stop them. the u. n. team is determined to inspect the south region nuclear plant. after months of haggling to gain access, we are moving, ah, we are aware of the current situation. there has been increased military activity, including this morning. at the same time a we consider that we have the minimum conditions to move accepting that there is a very, very high ukraine says, one of the 2 operational reactors at the plant has been shot down due to russian shelling. both sides have accused each other of bombing areas near the facility.

last week. damage to a transmission line knocked the plant offline, heightening fears of a radiation leak or even a react to meltdown. in the event of a nuclear leak, it will be difficult if not impossible, to provide humanitarian assistance. it is therefore high time to stop playing with fire and instead take concrete measures to protect this facility and other like it from any military operations. as combat continues on ukraine's eastern front, all eyes are in south region, hoping to prevent a disaster that could reach far beyond the countries borders. and d, w, correspond mathias billing or is standing by forest ins. apparition mathias, it's been a difficult journey in for the u. n team there. what obstacles are they still facing? well,

we're hearing that they have arrived on site though they're most of the obstacles, the biggest obstacles for their arrival. they've overcome them. there was fighting on the way. they were delayed at a check point because of the fighting, and then they managed to travel on and her case got to this side, the obstacles or the challenges that are waiting for them. now is the work on the site, and that is, of course, a lot what they need to do there. and there we don't at all. no, under what conditions there will be able to work, whether they will get full access or not. russia has promised it, but we will still need to see the results and they've got in, which is it one you know, successful step in a larger, larger process. if it is possible to broker some kind of solution to ensure the safety of the plan and the people around it, ah, what kind of shape could it take? do you think? is there any discussion about that?

what the missions are objective is to assess what the situation is like other security systems working. how big is the damage? what are the working conditions? is there any risk from a difficult conditions between the grammy and stuff and the management that has been brought in from russia, et cetera, et cetera. what are the conditions there? and this needs to be monitored, it needs to be monitored longer than this possibly possible, a few days there will take them to complete this mission. so somebody will have to stay there. whether they can stay there is the 1st thing, what needs to be done then to ensure the safety while that's already the result of their findings. ok, d, d, v d w's mathias bidding. her thanks so much. well, tensions are high around separation elsewhere. people are trying to reestablish normal activities. so day marks the 1st day of school and ukraine and more than

half of all schools will offer in person classes. only schools with underground air raid shelters are permitted to reopen with the rest reverting to online learning. since russia's invasion, thousands of educational buildings have been damaged or destroyed. but experts say education is essential for mental health, giving young people a sense of normality amid the grim realities of conflict. d. w. 's yan philip schultz caught up with children at a school in keith suburb of boucher where russian soldiers carried out atrocities against civilians in the early months of the war. it's a very special morning for the school in the town of boucher. as you can see behind me, a lot of students are returning to their classrooms for the very 1st time since the russian invasion started in ukraine. there's been a lot of discussion, sir, if it's safe to do so. the government says, yes it is, but the schools need a bomb shelter and the parents can decide themselves if they want to send their

pupils their children to the classrooms or not. or if they want to have online classes with me now, is one of the pupils here? her name is sonia. good morning, sonia. good morning, sonia. tell me how does it feel for you to come back to school after such a long time? i feel so excited and happy to see my friends teaches and to be in this place when they feel comfortable. thank you so much. as you can see, i think a lot of people here feel the same. the parents, the students. they are just happy to come back. of course, there are a lot of students that can't come back yet. they're either still abroad or their fate is unknown. but everybody is hoping that this day will be quiet and nobody has to go to the bomb shelters. while ukrainian students return to classrooms back home, others are starting their education as refugees abroad. here in germany, around a 160000 ukrainian students have enrolled of local schools. their families faced

a tough decision, returned to ukraine to learn in their own language or stay away and start again from ab and c. came listen, clean, come here. usually. you're going to school soon. bye josh. yeah. now after breakfast 6, you're on clean. we'll set off for his very 1st day of school. he and his mother natalia, had spent 2 years preparing for the stay, but russia's invasion of ukraine forced them to change their plans. i decided i went to kindergarten and before kindergarten, i went to school for a bit. how about school course? his either got out of there again, younger good book. he went to preparatory class and we're getting ready to start 1st grade and here. but instead, you're going to school in berlin. so you started learning the ukrainian alphabet. mm hm. but are continuing with german word seeking to me. it's gifts law though. when the war started, natalia and clean spent 2 nights in

a bomb shelter. after that, they left ukraine, heading forest to poland and then to germany, where natalia had friends. she hoped to go back home to ukraine before the school year started. but it's still dangerous there. oh, should i bids month really by one of the news again yesterday i following all the time. and i saw that they were showing again about what i don't know. i don't want my child to be there on the dock. now clean is going to a public school in berlin. it takes him 10 minutes to walk there. all of the classes are in german, and he has already learned a couple of phrases, behaviors for me, how to work from hello and good by. what can you say he'll, i can say thank you and plead zonker, be the god. thank you. and please, what else? what did they say when it's time to eat at one time, to eat idle humor and before that and wash your hands. now

it's time to rush to class. they don't want to be late. the german culture ministry estimates that $160000.00 ukranian children attended schools and germany this year and additional burden for the education system. schools need more teachers. but not only that, that us inside the household of one of the main problem is that we don't know for sure if these kids are going to stay here for the next 5 or 10 years. or if they'll leave within a few months. yeah, which is completely understandable off of it as it with the current situation in ukraine. parents don't know whether they'll stay in germany. live in dodge from natalia herself, knows families who went back. they see many schools in ukraine teach online because of the danger of bombing is that is the arc i thought a, i have friends who were torn over whether to stay or leave us by now they're there and see that they're afraid, but at least they're altogether good,

what are the most from dada stossel are welcoming it if mr. natalia is raising her son alone, she decided to stay in berlin for now. and clean likes it here. he learned how to count and school today. first graders don't do homework, but claim as happy to show off at this number skills. hey tom, how many birds? 330 and being a stork chip to 4 by 6 kish. while clean is in class counting animals, natalia is looking for a new apartment in berlin, preferably not so far from school. she also wants to take a german class herself so that she can keep up with her son. think. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. russian president vladimir putin has paid his respects to the late soviet leader. we highly gorbachev who died tuesday spokesman said earlier that the russian president will not attend. gorbachev funeral on saturday due to scheduling issues. yet that

gorbachev funeral would have elements of a state funeral, including a guard of honor. russian energy firm luke oil says its chairman has died following a serious illness. russian media had early reported that revealed megan was found dead after falling out of a hospital window. in moscow. luc oil is one of the few russian companies to declare its opposition to the war in ukraine. back in march. poland has mark the anniversary of the countries 1939 invasion by nazi germany, which unleashed the 2nd world war and a speech president and raised buddha, called for solidarity with ukraine and its fight against russian aggression. poland parliament has released a new report, estimating as was war 2 losses caused by germany to be the equivalent of $1.00 trillion us dollars. united states as china's treatment of wiggers and other muslim minority groups may constitute crimes against humanity. in

a longer delayed report, the un human rights office said there was credible evidence of torture, forced medical treatment and sexual violence in detention centers. in the north western jin chang region which b gin calls training centers. china oppose the release of the report and has accused the accurate and denied the accusations. his hero, the 220 acre room cheenam, a 3 detention center is the largest in chin. jang. and in china, it's of said as he's like this one where beijing has long been accused of detaining more than 1000000 week as and other muslim minorities. now a bombshell un human rights of his report says that attentions which it cooled, arbitrary and discriminatory, may amount to crimes against humanity. it also said it found, quote, credible allegations of torture, rape full sterilization and forced labor. the long anticipated

report was released just 13 minutes before michelle bachelor's term as un high commissioner of human rights ended and followed months of prussia from china to block its publication rancho fate. this report is a hodgepodge of misinformation that serves as a political tool for the us in the west to strategically use chin jang to contain china. the chinese government has long maintained that many of its facilities in chin jang of occasional training centers. created to counter alleged extremism and separatism among the regions. muslim majority the un report urge is china to release detainees and explain the fate of the huge numbers of people who have simply disappeared. but with beijing denying, having even committed any abuses, many observe as a doubtful, it will change its policies in should jang amnesty international is one of several

human rights organizations that long called on the you and to release its report. i asked them to see secretary general and yes, comma, if the un findings match her groups investigations. yeah. oh, good much them. they found a crime against humanity. they forgot to detention and discrimination. they from syria of human rights violations, sweeping the intention of motel to torture, sexual violence, violation, so reproductive rights, they hold on bio 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 my vision 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 could to

avoid the 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 killing either. then there was joe side, the crime of genocide. he's extremely, if he court to document to prove he story pretty very few cases of genocide i'm 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 or 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 and forcing 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 correspond the way that they needed more time to check a re 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 the ship by shooting out. so not too rece the

report. and indeed, every webs that has been hunted by china over the last few months, test d, 5 to their ego. they swing 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 is under withering. so you any agency or indeed, and in june act like how's it so it's good. it's good that finally has been released better later than never. it's good that t so it's coming as a strong report. and frankie, china cannot act. she was a tree potent being biased because of the time it took because it's coming from these particular high commissioner. and because the report itself, or told documents heavily how the chinese rose and funny sees

violate international human. right. so, so it's really an analysis on we, the china come, 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, camera, amnesty international secretary general. thank you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making years around the world. russia and china have begun a series of military drills in russia as far east. the 1st since 2018 moscow says the week long exercises will involve over 50000 troops or multiple countries. beijing says its involvement is unrelated detentions over taiwan and the war in ukraine. the governor of the us state of arizona has travelled to taiwan for talks

on economic cooperation and high tech sectors. doug duces visit to tied pay is the latest in the string of visits by us politicians that have angered china. this in the staging claims taiwan as part of its territory and says, visits, encouraged pro independence forces in taiwan. arizona stands with taiwan and in response to these high profile american visits, china has stepped up, its military drills around taiwan. in august, chinese military aircraft flew a record number of incursions into taiwan to air defense own. so how concerned is taiwan about a possible full scale invasion? d. w. richard walker put that question to taiwan. foreign minister, joseph lou in an exclusive interview. here is an expert. you see that the chinese seems to be preparing for a war against high one, for what they claim unification of their country. so what they were doing at the 1st part of august,

which is exercise according to their playbook against i one, let me say it again. they fired missiles to the waters near tie one. they conducted very large scale air and sea exercises. they conducted cyber attacks against high one. they conducted this information campaign against high one in the same time, they also engage in economic corporation. so put it all together. this is what they want to do to taiwan when they want to invade taiwan. and you can watch the full into view now is joseph will on deed abuse youtube channel here in germany, new energy saving measures have come into effect as the government attempts to reduce power consumption. starting today, heating and public buildings will be kept at 19 degrees celsius. hot water will be turned off and temperatures lowered in swimming pools. nighttime lighting and buildings and advertising signs will be prohibited. households are also being asked to play their part and limit their energy consumption whenever possible. the

central institutions such as schools, hospitals, and other care centers are not affected. and for more on this, let's cross over to dw political correspondent emanuel. shes menu, how big of an impact are these measures likely to have? jaime, while an impact is done, a lot of energy has already been said here in germany, but we have to keep in mind the adopt was done under very lenient conditions. it hasn't been very cold yet because of the summer there was no need to heat. there's no need for loads of extra light just yet, but calm the winter season, all of that will change and in terms of money, of course, there has been some respite over the summer because i showed them aid aid packages were put in place to reduce the burden on consumers, but the inflation rates reached a 40 years high record. it's around 9 percent in germany and concrete. lee. well,

that simply means that every sector in every sector, prices have drastically increased and these impacts everyone, not just the energy sector, and not just industries, but also the food sector. and all that because the russian war against your client is impacting exports, imports, and daily life is affected in the, in the sense that, well, growth rate, for example, are getting more expensive bills are getting, you know, higher. so didn't tire market is affected. and of course electricity guys are getting more expensive on gemini, just like every western countries trying to wind themselves from its dependence to rush and fossil fuels. and it's just just the beginning of a cold, dark winter ahead. i mean, how should germans brace or even more measures to get through the, the energy crunch. while the government is certainly trying to agree on new measure,

the, the met this week to, to agree on some of the haven't been need to hasn't been any concrete plan. but for example, damages such as increasing the minimum wage stuff was actually in the natural promise from chancellor. all that shows that was even before the economy crisis is also plans to lower the gas taxes. and to a further propose, a financial aid package is also looking into 2023. for example, you know, these 9 year multi train ticket could also be renewed for cold amounts in some states, such as here in berlin. so certainly new measures are being discussed to a try and shelter consumers as much as possible from the crisis. and do you have any idea if your average german is willing to participate with these steps? any numbers, any indication? i think we can already say that they do, i mean people have, you know, decrease their energy consumption already. we can see also

a chance of habits of consuming happy to know people are buying more for it from discounts. markets. they also very wary about, were, you know, big investment such as cause such as close even so they're really trying to be careful and people are saving more than they have had in the past. so that's, that's definitely a change of habits that showed that people are indeed very concerned. ok w's political correspondent, emmanuel, thanks for that. the european union's drug regulators expected to authorize the 1st covey 19 vaccines for the omicron variant. the adapted vaccines made by biotech, pfizer and maternal will be discussed at the meeting of the european medicines agency today, although they do not target the latest on the current string. this comes a day after the us health, pardon me? american health officials approve the use of updated vaccines that do target the newest on the chrome very, and the tweet booster shots can be available in the u. s. in

western jin chang region. a detailed allegations of torture and sexual violence inside the caps, which beijing calls training centers. china has rejected the accusations and it's all the news for now coming up next is conflict. so with tim sebastian and former forward polish foreign minister ratish lumps. of course, i'm a spicer with with
