so you are not a visitor, not a guess. you want to become a citizen in full migrants, your platform for reliable information. ah this is d w. news line from berlin un nuclear inspectors arrive at ukraine. stop a re ship power plant after being delayed by nearby shopping. they planned to check the safety of europe's largest nuclear facility, which russia now controls and where fighting has already forced to shut down of one of its reactors. also on the program you and accuses china of possible crimes

against humanity. the human rights commission report concerns beijing's treatment of weak muslims in general, province and details. evidence of torture and abuse. china rejects the charges and countries in the horn of africa struggling with extreme drought, with more than 20000000 people experiencing food insecurity. d, w, visits, pharmacies can yet to see how they're adapting. ah, i'm full galle. welcome to the program. nuclear experts from the international atomic energy agency have arrived at ukraine's giant, a separate region nuclear facility. i hope to check the safety of the russian occupied site, which has seen several potentially catastrophic failures over recent weeks. ideally, the international nuclear watched on wants to set up

a permanent base there. despite the danger posed by near by missile strikes, 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 planned 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, 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 comma 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. will they w correspondent, mrs. bollinger is in the city of operation and told me what happens now. the inspectors have arrived. while they're there and they should start their inspection there many things to inspect the they have left this morning. this car is what they

left behind. probably as a backup and arrived in the afternoon. i don't know, they probably haven't really been able to solve their inspection yet, but we have no official information about that. but what they will have to do now is they will have to check the damage, assess the damage that has been done to the plan by what they're selling that has been happening. what they also have to do is to see whether all of the security systems are functioning, power plan, how many systems that should ensure the cooling, most important thing. we'll continue even if, even after you, even after a power line is cost or even after a reactor goes off the grid or something like that. there are generators and there are several systems and all these systems need to be checked whether they're functional. they would probably also take a look what's happening to the nuclear waste that's there, or the nuclear fuel, the, the fresh fuel with everything is still in place and they would also have to have

the working conditions of the work of the people working. now this is a very tricky situation. the people there have been working there before the war, the employed by the ukrainian agency that runs the plans, but the management has been replaced by the russians. they need to work together. there were reports about them being threatened or being on or disturbed in their work and all this is put our potential security risk. so we see there is a long list of things they need to do and we don't know at all how much time they have for that. so that's a pretty tough task. okay, so at time is against them, but the, the hope is that they can, they can establish a presence there beyond the 2 or 3 days that this inspection yeah, that's what they have said. and the russian side has also said that they would agree to that, but everything can change all the time here and they want to leave a few of those who traveled their behind i am i, i would suppose that the general director will not stay for months there,

but some of the other stuff, some of the experts would be able to monitor what's happening. why is that important? because, um, 1st of all, in a day or 2, you can created a picture and that you way you won't see behind. but if people are there longer, they will eventually notice some of the things if something is not in order, they will have more time to speak to the people. but there's also the thing that you need to monitor the long terms conditions. for example, what we've been hearing from engineers that have talk to us that have fled that a maintenance wasn't meant hands were, it wasn't done any more in the past few days that will have consequences that might not a few few months. that might, these consequences might not be felt immediately right now, but in a week or 2 in a month or 2 in half a year, they might already be felt. so this is also something to monitor. so for the security of this plant, it would be crucial that they can stay there, that they can monitor what's happening around the plant, the fighting the damage,

but also the working conditions and the conditions inside the technical conditions inside the plant. ok, thank you for that much. yes. which is pulling a and a city of separation despite the tensions around zapper asia elsewhere in ukraine, people are trying to get on with their lives. today marks the 1st day of school in ukraine and more than half of schools will offer in person classes. only schools with underground air raid shelters are being allowed to reopen with the rest operating on line. since the russian invasion, thousands of educational buildings have been damaged or destroyed. but experts say education is essential for young people that mental well being in them a sense of normality. i mean the grim realities of the conflict t w's. young phillips shots caught up with children at a school in the cave 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 this 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, see, or 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 sent 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, sir? her name is sonia. good morning, sonya little money. sonya 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, teachers, 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. it shows in the future will natalia paper is a member of the ukrainian parliament and secretary of the following education committee to joins us from the west of city of if welcome to d w. i understand you're your own sons in the city of live. it went back to school today. how are they feeling going back when the country is at war? and yes, my to sounds good today, attend to the school 1st, a smaller one, the 10th, or just go to school. it is like a is excited and but a little bit afraid. you know, like monster, i have in my head, it can be abandoned. some school or a bomb shelter will be bumped by your rockets. bad to be whole. and this believe in

the got in ukraine and are me and help for abroad and support for abroad. i me a and decides that our children's not go to the school and towards a normal life. and today it just like more and nice day because for example, yesterday when was ceremony of the beginning of the year was an alarm by p. pupils and teachers go to us and i think inside from shelter. and today we don't have a bump and to leave. and so when you like more and nice and a lot of people are in national club, this like me for example. and these good want to and this hope, right. can i ask you about that decision? because as you say, the bomb, the bomb sirens went off yesterday. how difficult was that was that decision for you and your husband to send your kids to school and try and live a normal life?

you know that like it just like this whole does, it will not damaged schools and i simply read it back. there's 3 are not so close the front line, but i understand that have like big say a fear and don't forget to leave it to the school or to michel i region. that's a region and the region 2. and so like my decision, it was that i just hold and up to me because that must be ok. but different people are different in different employers. and it depends from from feeling and what schools teaching about this war. i teach him normally all

drink and fuel, especially the smaller one. my smaller is 6 years old and all about ukrainian army, both russian because are, is this most fever? he not like different kinds of on at what is it can sometimes just a tell me mom of this in this way of this other way because he's new here some as told that today that to be like, repel foot floor. so yes and our group out from nation or so and for the tree, it's like, and the census ever said, and i look, you know, that for smaller children that are paid to the painters. sometimes it said it just like all the time about premium flags and boat ukraine young. i'm and for how it sounds this is understand as the school to be,

are speaking as the same. and every person in ukraine understands how walton is this heroes of canyon army. and this supports abroad. well, thank you so much for joining us and are lining up for us ukrainian though. make an italian paper we'll take a look at some more stories that making headlines. now. i'm russian energy firm lou coil says it's chairman has died following a serious illness. especially media had previously reported that rockville mac enough had been found dead after falling out of a hospital window in moscow. new coil was one of the few russian companies to declare its opposition to the war in ukraine. back in march, russian president vladimir putin has paid his respects to the late soviet leader, mikhail gorbachev. who died on tuesday, according to the spokesman's shed duelling issues mean the russian president will not be attending. mister gorbachev funeral on saturday. as folks when added that

the ceremony would have elements of a state funeral, including a guard of russia, china, india, and syria are among the countries taking part in a series of military drills in russia as far east. their 1st and 2018 moscow says the week long exercises will involve more than 50000 troops. reaching says, its participation is not related to tensions over time one or the war in ukraine. the un says chinese treatment of weakness and other mostly minority groups, may constitute crimes against humanity. and a long delayed report, the un human rights office said there was credible evidence of torture, forced medical treatment and sensual violence in detention camps in the northwest. and as in jan regent, which beijing describes as training centers, china oppose the release of the report and has denied the accusations with the 220

acre on routine number 3 detention center is the largest in shin jang. and in china, it's f facilities like this wine where badging has long been accused of detaining more than 1000000 wiggers and other muslim minorities. now a bombshell un carnation and forced to labor. the long anticipated report was released just 13 minutes before michelle boucher let's term as un high commissioner for human rights ended and followed months of pressure from china to block its publication. i just say this report is a hodgepodge of misinformation that serves as a political tool for the us in the west to strategically use shin jang to contain china. the chinese government has long maintained that many of its facilities in chin jang, our vocational training centers, created to counter alleged extremism and separatism among the regions. muslim majority but pictures from facilities in shin jang that were leaked earlier this

year tell a very different story. with hooded and bound prisoners forced into stress positions surrounded by police officers armed with clubs. the un report urges china to release detainees and explained the fate of the huge numbers of people who have simply disappeared. but with badging denying, having even committed any abuses. many observers are doubtful that will change its policies in sin. jang, until yesterday, kenneth roth was executive director of human rights watch. he's not retired after leading the human rights organization for nearly 30 years. i asked him if johnny was right about this report being a hodgepodge of misinformation. to the contrary, this is a powerful damning report. now we know that beijing has been obstructing and denying trying to prevent the publication this report for a long time. but this is

a very detailed report based on, you know, multiple interviews with former detainees and others with 1st information. and it describes the horror facing the weaker and other target muslims. if there is so much detail on that, that it just basically gives the lie to be repeated. i'm no one can read that report and believe these denials anymore coming from chinese. ok. so let's say the report is read and believed. what does it change? i think that beijing was desperate to prevent its collocation because it didn't want this official refutation of its lives. but this is obviously just step one, you know, unfortunately, i mean, as you noted, michelle bash, let the un high commissioner for human rights, you know, published this report really on her last, you know, last minutes in office. and so she's not going to be in

a position to follow through her successor is not yet maze, or deputy will temporarily take over. so it really at this stage, i think the ball is in the court of the united nations human rights council. this is the governmental body based in geneva, which is the un highest, you know, human rights body. and the report, in essence, calls to the human rights council to act. the right council has never, ever condemned in a china just been deemed too powerful. but now that we see probable crimes against humanity documented in the fishing and report, it really is incumbent upon the human rights. there were 47 governments that already have condemned what's happening to jay, i hope that this report will lead to larger numbers. and finally, a critical mass with the jordy on the right council that will permit the kind of investigation condemnation that beijing is terrified. right. and i think gives us

force to change. you've mentioned the pressure that the beijing has exerted to try and suppress this report with touch on the timing that it was. it was released on within hours and michelle, a bachelor, leafing. has she, in fact novels this report it as, as in fact it, it does look like china's work has been done. if, as you say, it ends up falling between the cracks of the commissioner who leaves a new permanent commissioner being appointed. but i think that a way and we see a report that had multiple causes. and the high commissioner could hear from reese this report, her aunt, she was sort of forced into travelling division. she been seeking an unfettered investigation and had offered and said you can come for a friend and visit his dad and nice chit chat. and you wasn't very general until you good terrorist under cut his high commission by agreeing that she should go for this. and so she was stuck with it, is it which really accomplish not then china deluge for with efforts to refute the

fact that i was happy to change. so she had to deal with all the information that said it still was a powerful report. and i hope that you are sector, john, who is remaining gnostic on bases, tries to try to avoid commentating. now that his high commission is gone and there's a void in geneva, i hope he will stop say something in the human rights council. pick up the mountain and really push forward for an investigation. thank you so much for joining us. we wish you well in your retirement kind of throw, former executive director of human rights watch on small story. so making years around the world, the world health organization says more than 6400000 people in pakistan are in dire need of humanitarian aid. hundreds of health care facilities have been damaged or destroyed. to have a monsoon flooding submerged up to a 3rd of the country. the european union's drugs regulate as approved. the 1st cove
