6:00 pm
ah ah ah ah, this is the w news. why, from burly un nuclear inspectors arrive at ukraine's upper vizier power plant after being delayed by nearby shoving the plan to check the safety of europe's largest nuclear facility, which russia now controls and where fighting is already forced to shut down of one of its reactors. also on the program,
6:01 pm
the un accuses china of possible crimes against humanity. human rights commission report concerns beijing's treatment of weak muslims in gen john, province and details. evidence of torture and abuse. china rejects the charges. countries in the horn of africa are struggling with extreme drugs, with more than 20000000 people experiencing food insecurity. d, w, visits, pharmacy. can you to see how they're adapting? ah, i'm fil gale. welcome to the program. nuclear experts from the international atomic energy agency have arrived at ukraine's at jones operation nuclear facility. they have to check the safety of the russian occupied site. we just seen several potentially catastrophic failures over recent weeks. ideally, the international nuclear watchdog wants to set up
6:02 pm
a permanent base there. despite the danger posed by nearby 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 un team is determined to inspect the sapir 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 rush and shelling. both sides have accused each other of bombing areas near the facility
6:03 pm
last week, damaged to a transmission line, knocked the planned off line, 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 operation. as combat continues on ukraine's eastern front, all eyes are on sa parisha, hoping to prevent a disaster that could reach far beyond the countries borders. will be w correspondent, that is bullying her is in the city of separation and told me what happens now that the inspectors have arrived while they're there and they should start their inspection them anything to inspect the they have left this morning. this car is
6:04 pm
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 planned by or they're selling that has been happening. where they also have to do is to see whether all the security systems are functioning. a power plant has many systems that should ensure the cooling, most important thing, will continue even if even after you, even after a power line is caught, or even after a reactor goes off the grid or something like that. there are generators, and there are several systems and all the systems need to be checked whether they're still functional. they would probably also take a look what's happening to the nuclear waste that there or the nuclear fuel, the, the fresh fuel with everything is still in place. and they would also have to have
6:05 pm
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 or disturbed in their work and all of this is but 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. ok, so time is against them, but the hope is that they can they can establish a presence that beyond the 2 or 3 days that this inspection yeah, that's what they have said. and the rest inside has also said that they would agree to that. but everything can change all the time here. they want to leave a few of those who travel their behind i'm. i would suppose that the general
6:06 pm
director will not stay for a month there. but some of the other stuff, some of the experts would be able to monitor what's happening. why is not important because 1st of all, in a day or 2, you can create a picture on that you where 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 have talked to us that have planned, that maintenance wasn't maintenance where it wasn't done anymore. in the past few days, i 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 plan, it would be crucial that they can stay there,
6:07 pm
that they can monitor what's happening around the planned, the fighting the damage, but also the working conditions and the conditions inside the technical conditions inside the plant. ok, thank you for that monsieur, which is putting a and a city of separation will despite the tension surrounds apparitions, elsewhere in ukraine, people are trying to get on with their lives. today marks the 1st day of school and to more than half of schools will offer in person classes. only those 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's mental health and giving them a sense of normality. i'm in the grim realities of the conflict. earlier i spoke with natalia people who is a member of the ukrainian parliament and secretary of its education committee. a sons went back to school today in the video, and i asked her how they're feeling about returning while the countries at war i
6:08 pm
yes, my 2 sons go today, attend to the school 1st. smaller one, attend or just go to school. and just like really enjoy and i was excited about a little afraid, you know, like also i have in my head it can be been the school or a bomb shelter will be bumped by your office by to be told. and this is believe and got in ukrainians, army and help for abroad and support for what abroad. i read this and have been decided that our childrens mom called to the school and the normal life. and today is just like more and nice day because for example, yesterday's on both ceremony. old. the beginning of the year was an alarm bout to keep you both and teachers got to show this and since it's been inside shelter
6:09 pm
and today we turned our bumps alarm and leave and certain when you both like more and nice and a lot of people are national global, this like me for example. and the good morning and miss 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 i and live a normal life. you know that like it just like this whole does, it will not be damaged schools and i said read is bachelor's degree. are not so close. the front line, but i understand that have like big say a fear and don't forget, leave it to the school or to michel i region. that's a region and the region 2. and so like my decision,
6:10 pm
it was that i just hold and optimistic must be ok. but different people are different in different employers. and it depends from, from this feeling and what schools teaching about this war. i teach him normally all drink and pupil, especially the smaller one. my smaller is 6 years old and all about ukrainian army about russian falls because are, is this a most fever? he not like different kinds of what can some time just tell me mom of this in this wave of this other way because he's new here. you're some as tall today. see that to be like,
6:11 pm
repel foot floor. so yes. and our group out from nice and 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 senses it's same. it's just like all the time about creamy on flags and boat. ukraine young. i'm and for how it sounds. this is understand as the school and we are speaking as the same. and every person in ukraine understands how important is this heroes of korean army. and this supports abroad. well, thank you so much for joining us and are learning that for us. ukrainian though, make an italian people would take a look at the most doors making headlines around the world. now russian energy firm, new quote says it's chairman who died. father, mysterious ellis media had previously been to that refill america,
6:12 pm
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 response to the late soviet leader mikhail gorbachev. who died on tuesday. according to spokesman's share during issues mean the russian president will not attend mister gorbachev funeral on saturday. the spokesman added that the ceremony would have elements of a state funeral, including a guard of honor, russia, china, india, and syria are among the countries taking part in a series of military drills in russia's far east. their 1st since 2018 moscow says that week long exercises will involve more than 50000 troops. beijing says its participation is not related to tensions over taiwan or indeed, the war. a new credit of united nation says china's treatment of weakness and
6:13 pm
other mostly minority groups, may, can, may constitute crimes against humanity. in a long delayed report, the un human rights off, you said there was credible evidence of torture, forced medical treatment, and sexual violence in detention camps in the north western jin chang region, which beijing calls training centers. china oppose the release of the report and has denied the accusations to go to the 220 acre and routing number 3 detention center is the largest in shin jang. and in china, it's f facilities like this one where gene has long been accused of detaining more than 1000000 wiggers and other muslim minorities. now, a bombshell un human rights office report says the detentions which it called arbitrary and discriminatory, may amount to crimes against humanity. it also said it found, quote, credible allegations that torture rate for sterile is ation and forced labor. the
6:14 pm
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. lencher. this report is a hodgepodge of misinformation that serves as a political tool for the us in the west to strategically use in jail 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 us report
6:15 pm
urges 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 observers are doubtful that will change its policies in chin. jang, until yesterday, kenneth roth was the executive director of human rights swan. she's now retired after leading the organization in any 30 years. i asked me if china 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 in a 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,
6:16 pm
that it just basically gives the lie to be repeated denials. 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? but i think that beijing was desperate to prevent its publication because it didn't want this official refutation of it. why? but this is obviously just step why, 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 names 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,
6:17 pm
calls to be human rights council to act. the right council has never, ever condemned china into china just been deemed too powerful. but now that we see probable crimes against humanity documented in officially when report, it really is incumbent upon the human rights comes out. there are $47.00 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 of this report to 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 it invited it,
6:18 pm
it does look like china's work has been done. if, as you say, it ends up falling between the cracks of the, the commissioner who leaves a new permanent commissioner being appointed. but i think that the way and we see a report that had multiple causes and the high commissioner could hear from least this report, her aunt, she was sort of forced into travelling division. she been seeking an unfettered investigation. our child had offered and said you can come for a friendly visit, his dad, nice chit chat, and you as a very general until you good terrorist under cut his high commission by agreeing that she should go for this. and so she just stuck with it, is it which really accomplish not up, then china deluge for with efforts to refute the fact that i was happy to james. so she had to deal with all that information that said it still was a powerful report. and i hope that you are sector john, who is remaining gnostic on bases trying to try to avoid common heading. now that
6:19 pm
is my commission is gone and this is void in geneva. i hope he will say something in the human rights council. pick up the mountain and, 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 it's the most or is that making the news today? the governor view state of arizona has travelled to taiwan for talks on economic cooperation and high tech centers. do seuss a visit to typeface the latest in a string of visits by us. politicians that have anchored china. beijing claims taiwan as part of its territory, as the visits encourage tie when he's pro independence forces. the european union's drugs regulator has approved the 1st covey. 19 vaccines adapted to include protection against an early version of the army. kron varied, but the vaccines haven't been updated to cut the new, more infectious b a for, and be a 5 versions that in our dominant around the world,
