should these inspectors be doing right now what? what's the 1st duty for these inspectors? good evening, i am not familiar with a particular plan, but i can estimate is it possible action so them? so 1st of all, they need to inspect the typical condition of the nuclear power plant in general and most important, or they think, oh condition oh, there it if you materials there, i mean a fuel assemblies both spent fuel answer, fresh fuel because they're at both globular some, some danger or i would say and it's very buttons and also they relieve some of the psychological, put pressure on their personal of the nuclear power plant because they have what is working for almost 6 months on they're going from russian forces. they should also not for o for security. who?

mr. tomorrow, you know, you bring up a good point. the, the employees of the plant have been under tremendous pressure. these inspectors, they're also under pressure now, right? because they perhaps are the only thing that stands between millions and millions of lives and radioactive meltdown. exactly. that brings people, i really appreciate there. that gosh, and so is there a motivation not to go there? because i know from the reports it is, was not easy way today to get to was a nuclear power plant. and it, we know that iodine tablets to have been distributed across that part of ukraine. what is your biggest concern right now and what, what would be the most acute danger in your opinion? a, w, i n a r,

a good for extreme scenario. vicious who could be my shalaka fukushima scenario event to apply for the pumps to share cooling, their acres stops, the core starts to them to meltdown and some hydrogen or own chemical explosion. and then the release to the sphere and to see that these 2 reactors are phillip waiting. they contain a lot of for various or i didn't look like a good idea at iodine, here's a big letter to that. it is very biologically accessible and very mobile. so what's that is released 8 can very easily get through the organism of people. and then there it is. a property of accumulation in a certain gland issue. grayson might create hydro, this answer this, the iodine pills they block or didn't prevent from this intake

and accumulation mr to what it is, there is a scenario. let's leave it's very light. we certainly hope that the worst case scenario would not become true. but in the event of a radiation, leach, even if we were to have a meltdown in your opinion, is the medical infrastructure already in place around separate around that entire part of ukraine to deal with mass exposure to radiation. it's a very good question. so actually, oh, the, i consider in such scenario for quite a while. and so once you mentioned, this is a built, they're all, are they distributed in their own will be available while they're needed. ah, but the problem is that, you know, the distribution of radioactive material depends on, on bins and on metro apathetic conditions. and if wind blows to eastern direction,

does it, there, there is fish occupied by invaders. ah, you kinda have control. it's gonna help, but population was as a med problem, voting to mach head of the laboratory, it ukraine's national research center for radiation medicine, mr. to mac. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you, right. let's take a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world at russian energy company. luke oil says it's chairman has died following a serious illness. russian media a been reporting that rockville meghan off had been found dead after falling out of a hospital window in moscow. the coil was one of the few russian companies to declare its opposition to the russian invasion of 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 his spokesman scheduling

issues mean that mister putin will not attend mikhail gorbachev. st funeral on saturday. the spokesman added that the ceremony would have elements, elements of a state funeral, including a guard of honor. the governor of the us state of arizona has travelled to taiwan for talks on economic cooperation in the high tech and sector. doug duties visit to taipei is the latest in a string of visits by us. politicians is that of anger, china. beijing claims taiwan as part of its own territory. it says the visits encourage taiwanese pro, independence, and forces. and we look well in response to these high profile us visits, china has stepped up, its military drills around taiwan in august and chinese military aircraft flew a record number of incursions into ty, one's air defense zone. so how concerned is taiwan about

a possible full scale invasion? he w richard walker, he put that question to ty, once foreign minister, joseph wu, in an exclusive interview. here's part of that talk. you see that the chinese seemed to be preparing for a war against high 14 when they claim unification of their country. so what they were doing in the 1st part of august, ah, which is a exercise, according to ne, a playbook against i one, let me say it again. they fired missiles to the waters near taiwan. they conducted very large scale air and sea exercises. they conducted cyber attacks against high one. they conducted a disinformation campaign against high one. and at the same time, they also engage in equal mclauren. so put it all together. this is what they want to do to taiwan when they want to invade taiwan. and you can watch that interview

with joseph woot, in full on dw youtube channel, to like the united nations. it says that china is a treatment of wiggers, and other muslim minority groups may constitute crimes against humanity. in the long delayed report, the you ins, human right to office, said that there is credible evidence of torture, forced medical treatment and sexual violence and detention camps in the north western. she and john region which beijing calls training centers. china opposed the reports release. it has denied all accusations the 220 acre and routine number 3 detention center is the largest in shin jang, and in china it's f facilities like this one where beijing 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 of torture, rape force, sterilization, and force 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 by jesse, 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, 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 u. n. report urges china to release detainees and explain 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. it will change its policies in sins. ang, you're watching. the w news is still to come. poland says it will seek $1.00 trillion dollars in reparations from germany, over the nazis invasion and occupation during the 2nd world war. but the berlin says the matter is clubs. it's coming up just a moment. the world health organization says almost 6 and a half 1000000 people in pakistan are in dire need of humanitarian aid. of this map shows the areas affected by unprecedented flooding. hundreds of thousands of homes

have been destroyed, according to unicef with hundreds of health care facilities affected after heavy monsoon rains, pounded the country. the floods have led to more than a 1000 deaths and triggered a major humanitarian crisis with survivors now at risk of disease. and malnutrition . we thought hun scans to soaked ruins of her home. the mother of 9 daughters lives in northern pakistan, swat district for weeks. it has rained here nonstop. the water flooded their home, almost completely destroying it. here ever thought a little gerberg. good people ask me what i lost, but it's impossible to even guess all our whole house has been destroyed. who's got to go go, there's nothing left? nothing at all is left in this house. go go, regord, give me. yes i'm the pakistan monsoon season began and june experts say that there has been $4.00 to $5.00 times the normal amount of rain this year. turning rivers

into raging torrents, the flood waters reach the home of re thought, han and her daughter bushera a few days ago. when ali and we'll as our my, we were just about to pack our bags. when the water came, what a get rose very quickly. up to our next visit. we left our bags behind and climbed up onto the roof to save our lives. out of the see, but i will humble, more than $30000000.00 people have been affected by the flooding with damages estimated at more than $10000000000.00. food, water, and shelter in particular or in short supply. pakistan's prime minister shabani to reef has promised immediate aid. every penny we spent in a very rough wind fresh everybody would reach the meeting. there will be no risk at all. as to clean up work begins,

disease is spreading throughout the areas affected by the flooding. there's also a shortage of medicine including and swat district. i back up as an exam doctor, i don't have enough money to go to the doctor by medicine, but we have source froze and we're getting heat rashes on our skin crowded. we had them. her daughter bushera was about to get married. we thought and had spent months making new garments in preparation for the wedding all destroyed by the flooding. she doesn't know where to turn to a more totally helpless missouri. my daughter and i are suffering badly. i can't cope with the severe consequences of the flood. i just don't know how we'll get through this a little for now. we thought han and her daughter are staying with friends, but they have no idea what their future homes were. joining me now, it's on her account on ceo of shelter,

bank sets of international disaster relief charities on just good to have you with this, your organization. if sending a team to pakistan. tell us more about the needs that have to be addressed 1st. well firstly, the sheer scale of the need, as your report reflected over 30000000 people have been affected. and it's not just that they have lost their homes that they have been separated from their children. over half of the $30000000.00 affected our children. it's also other impacts. it has including health impact due to sewage mixing with flooding, water, creating unsafe drinking conditions and a potential health crisis on so called the sheer logistics of trying to reach the most vulnerable with 8 at this time. so it is a crisis that goes beyond just flooding and property destruction to health crisis and food crisis that we have to address the same time and so on. do you have an idea of which communities need help the most?

i mean, is there any way to get an overview of the extent of the damage in the need? well, we know that a much of the flooding is centered around the north of sin province and possible. okay? so you can actually see the swollen flooding that's created almost a lake in pakistan from satellite photos, from space for photos that didn't show that kind of water full previously a few days ago. we also know that in those areas the most vulnerable will be those caring to the elderly. and of course, those with children, a disproportionate number all the over $1000.00 and dead, almost cost are children. and that reflects the fact when they're off like what is it will take children away. they are much lighter and they can be ripped from their parents on. so we are particularly concerned about families with lots of children, but also with those with disabled are elderly. and that's who we are likely to be targeting with our shelter assistance for us and the assistance that you offer and

bring to not come a minute too soon. i'm wondering what is your take on the government's response to this disaster? well, we have responded a shelter box previously to the flooding in 2010 and worked with the pakistani national disaster management agency and they run a very good operations. they do know what they're doing, however, the scale of this crisis affecting so many millions will overwhelm any one country . as you've heard from the prime minister, it is the hope that aid will get to where it is most needed most quickly. and that's exactly how shell to box operates. so we're looking forward to working with the pakistani authorities, sadly, often conflict and all the civil disorder concerns happen following a climate related designs like flooding. and we hope that we won't see that in pakistan because that will impact the ability to deliberate swiftly. well, i know a lot of people are certainly wishing you all the best and success in your

endeavors in pakistan, sondra chickens on the ceo of shelter. bar, sancha, thank you. we appreciate your time to not poland has held ceremonies, marking the 83rd anniversary of the countries invasion by nazi germany, which unleashed the 2nd world war. now this comes as poland parliament released a new report, estimating wash is caused by germany's invasion to be the equivalent in today's money of 1.3 trillion urine. the report was presented by the leader of poland, whose ruling conservative. yes, parties of religion as responded stating it considers the issue of reparations to poland, to be a closed matter, far less bringing on our political correspond to benjamin alvarez gruber, he's been following this story force bridgeman. what, why is the polish government coming up with these demands? now, the timing here, why it's a political move,

at least that's what the polish a position is saying. donal task who was at polish, a prime minister and then was the president of the european council says that this is a moved by the conservative party to use this anti jam and rhetoric to try to get some votes. and there are also domestic issues. here is our elections coming up, parliamentary elections and poland and next year, so that polish a position party is saying that the party is now again claiming these are not new claims. poland is repeatedly sad that it germany still has to pay for what it did during the 2nd world war. so domestic issues with this party also looking at recent poll says recent poll saying that they still debate, they're still division over if germany should pay a poland for and what it did during the 2nd. caldwell well beyond the politics in poland. is there any merit to these demands for reparations?

the demands are not new and what german politicians, the german government has been saying, but also german lawyers is that there is no nothing, no legal ground for this. citing 2 agreements, one that was signed in 1953 and there was another one that was signed in the $9090.00 is known as the full full plus to agreement, saying that germany should not pay this even further. but this party has been trying it for the last years. it came back to power in 2015. and shortly after coming back to power bar. so the party leader sat, the germany should pay repatriation it reparations for what it did during the 2nd world war fighter steinman who back then was foreign minister. and now as president sat that there is no legal ground for that. but poland has been pushing further. it with these claims, so if poland continues to push these demands for reparations. how, how can there be a resolution?

so for now, it's not an official announcement by poland government where we heard today was a the p, a s party that sat that germany should needs to pay. it's possible that the polish government will then take this over and send an official letter to germany. in that case, even some international courts might determined if germany still needs to pay that . but with german government has been saying and has repeated several times that germany will not pay that also showing the you what germany is paying into the you would pull it is getting as well. saying that poland is the largest net recipient of you money. germany is the largest net contributor, so we're expecting this issue to be taken further also as we move closer to the parliamentary elections in poland next year to w. benjamin over as goober, with the latest to live here in berlin. bridgeman, thank you. it is now september and as the school term starts and ukrainian children returned to their classrooms back home. others are starting

their new school year elsewhere as refugees about a 160000 ukrainian students have enrolled in schools here in germany. tonight we check in with one displaced child as his mother prepares him for a new school year in a new language. came with clean come here, you should eat if you're going to school soon by doors. yeah. right. after breakfast 6 year old clean will set off for his very 1st day of school. he and his mother natalia, have spent 2 years preparing for the stay, but rushes invasion of ukraine forced them to change their plans. i had your fav bumper, donald. yes, i went to kindergarten and before kindergarten, i went to school for a bit. oh that, that was all post his isaac at there again. no garden though. he went to preparatory class and were getting ready to start 1st grade and kiana. but instead, you're going to school in berlin zone, you started learning the ukrainian alphabet,

but are continuing the middle german word sickness get slower though. when the war started natalia and clean hunt 2 nights and 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, o f should i bid from fidela by warning, the news again yesterday i follow it all the time and i saw that they were showing again though 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 or do behaviors for room it, how it short from hello and goodbye. what can you say he'll i can say. thank you, and please don't give me the guy. thank you. and please, what else did?

what did they say when it's time to eat ethan ethan? i don't care. and before that wash your hands a while. 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, the defense will be heard, i was calling that 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, which is completely understandable with the current situation in ukraine, parents don't know whether they'll stay in germany or does anthem concerts. nissan, which 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. and yes, that is the ok. i thought

a i have friends who were torn over whether to stay or leave as far now they're there and see if there is a freight. but at least there altogether will it at austin that last asked lengthening it if mr. natalia is raising her son alone. she decided to stay in berlin for now and clean like that here. he learned how to count and school today. first graders don't do homework, but claim as happy to show off as number skills. and how many birds? $330.00 and being a stork took to 456 chased. 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, said that she can keep up with her son. think. and finally, tonights ill. salvatore's of festival of fireballs, has returned after the coven. 19 pandemic extinguish the traditional event. the
