assessment based on what you've seen so far? yeah, thanks for taking me suggestion, as you, i've been mentioned in the package situation video game. i'm in the country a face to the car earnings months on range in some parts, especially the lower bars. the most effective winches are sin and evil, just on their snippets from and spell it just on. so according to the strictest, 6 sin and bullets on face more than 6 times rains, then it's 30 years every. yeah, the situation is very game situation is like the green part of agriculture that mean livelihood and more the most of the most of the population that is affected. yeah. in the initial stages, in the us as well. but again, as i'm down, that is the, one of the northern districts of chin like it has been based cutting edge running

like you know, shuttle pharaohs like chicago and jacob button, their fist. i'm in the very, very late record range, not only from sin, but also coming from the stream of sun. now, this is a situation where we as you know, is one of the climate change effect. it. it rings at the top, but i spoke to some expert, this a, okay, this is fine. i'm in part of my saying this is rain or number. you know, it's like applies a strict remains, which we can see basically. so again, i'm just going to hear more on it. thanks so much for bringing us up to speed and also giving us the expert opinion that you have been asking for. i just want to talk to you a bit about the people affected. we've been hearing that it's been very difficult

to reach some remote villages that have been evacuated. what kind of progress if any, has been made to get to these people yeah. this today, one of the down in the come, but she's not good. we're not going to stick with it as a see fresh, fresh morning from the government, whoever you are. so what you see is 15 days was going over. there's no i meant for, and there is no real government, yes or no, really. but again, it is like more like more like live sort of, if there is no food at all, i mean there are some that are working on their own. but again, i mean busy really government is like, i mean it is no real. yes. they have announcement, i mean, they've established the games, but yes, no, no, i don't mean you can see right now. ok. journalists all think i couldn't for

reporting on these floods from the south region in pakistan where you thank you for your time. ok, let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines today, reports from afghanistan, say, one of the country's most influential clerics has been killed in a bomb blast in the western city of here out, authorities say some 20 people were killed in an explosion outside of mosque, the cleary had called for beheading as a punishment for even small acts of defiance against taliban rule. for us, president joe biden has heat out his predecessor ahead of mid term election in a speech from philadelphia by didn't want that. donald trump and his supporters represent and extremism that threatens us democracy. he called on all americans to reject political violence to russia's war in ukraine. now, where the situation around europe's log july,

just nuclear power plant is causing deep warri. the you in the sent a delegation of experts to this operational plan to assess whether it's being compromised. they reported what they call the physical integrity of the plan. they say it's being quote via lighter to the inspectors to the facility, which has sustained damage from shilling. several members of the team now plan to stay on the russian occupied side. that's just what reports of the fighting in and around separation corresponded yon phillips is following this for us from the ukranian capital keven. he is what he told us a little bit earlier about the teams inspection teams assessment of the nuclear facility. we only know what agency had grossey said yesterday after he visited the plant, he said he was worried. he is worried and he will continue to be worried. he also said there was evidence that the physical integrity of the pledge was violated. of

course, we don't know yet what this means regarding possible risks of radiation leaks and so on. the assessment of a nuclear power plant as an extremely difficult task, especially in a war zone. and i doubt that we will get a lot of details at the press conference later today. what we know is that the ukranian side has repeatedly accused the russian side that they don't give access to the team to read when it comes to some very important structures. at the plant, but grossey has repeatedly emphasized that they were able to see what they wanted to see at the plant k. let's get more on this now with elena so kovar. she's an expert on nuclear security, the executive director of the vienna center for disarmament. and non proliferation . welcome to the w. we've heard from this team in ukraine. they're saying that the

physical integrity of this apparition plant has been quote, violated. could you explain what that means? exactly. thanks for having me and could many things. but one thing that i wanted to know from the start, 1st of all, the on the preview clip hoffman, he's in extremely to watch for the in addition to 6 nuclear reactors, it also houses is storage of the dry storage of the spent nuclear fuel. and many other jewelry facilities and buildings, even before this visit or a mission. and we knew that there was some damage including to the roof of the spent fuel storage facility. to some extent, larry buildings and some of the backup equipment. but what exactly they

found there in addition to some of them, no damage. we don't know yet, and it probably wasn't possible to assess it in the short that they have there for 5 hours. that's where is it? yeah, i'm sorry with me. you've just been spilling out how big the plant is and, and yet all the reactors and everything in it. and you're saying it's basically unrealistic that the team, how small it is, can really get a proper picture of the damage at the plant that is to, in the for 5 hours. but if you remember or is it some part of the team remained and they set aside and they are continuing their work on the assessment. i would wait until the group returns back to vienna and director general or the says that there will be

a report from the mission. we should think about mission as this visit by the head and, and the largest team. the mission is really a work that needs for 1st of all sometime, and particularly given the size of the facility. and speaking of this mission, ukraine's casting doubts on the mission, it saying russian, the russians are only letting the un monitors see what they want them to say. do you share that concern as well? well, it's obviously in the facility east under the rushing control. and they probably are showing certain things that they want to, so maybe not showing other things that they would not like to the, the, the mission to see. but nonetheless, i think that there are still few things that there was an agreement about. they

need to check some safety and security equipment, and i hope the national proceed was checking back or will be communicating with the staff. and even though there are reports that they will be obviously coming in, getting in the presence of the russian personnel there and none the less you can call and make a good assessment about the stress level and the functioning of the personnel. so that's another part of the mission is not only to check the demons, not only to check the safety and security equipment, whether it's functioning, how much it was damaged and whether it's you strongly, but also speak and engage with the status. remember, these are the korean experts that are working at the car. ok. folks are going to, we've got time for, but i really want to thank you for your insights today. that was a sofa with the vienna center for the disarmament disarmament. a non proliferation

19 test centers in changing the latest chinese city to be locked down as beijing pursues. it's 0 coven policy. street markets are also crowded as people stock up on food. the city of 21000000 people went into locked down on thursday after an outbreak of around 150 cove cases. lufthansa has cancelled hundreds of flights of pilot stage a one day strike there in dispute, or they're in a dispute for better pain conditions from germany's largest carrier. some 800 flights were grounded in munich and frank fit around 100000 passengers have been effected now to the results of some interesting research, israelis have much more positive opinion of germany and germans too, of israel. this is, according to a new study published by the bertelsmann institute, a head of a state visit to germany by israeli president is our head sog. hertzog arrives on

sunday and will spend several days in germany. both governments regularly stress the close relations between the countries during a visit to yard for sham. earlier this year, german chancellor, all assaults again underline that germany has a special responsibility towards the israeli state because of the holocaust. but the new study shows that science of alienation can potentially be seen among the younger generation in both countries. for more now, i'm joined by our chief political correspondent, melinda crane. melinda, hi there. what will be on president had folks agenda during his upcoming germany trip. he'll be here for 3 days and he will meet with chancellor all our shots and also speak before the german parliament, the bonus tag. but the most important and undoubtedly the most emotional part of his is it will be a memorial ceremony in munich for the 11 israeli athletes killed in a terrorist attack at the $972.00 olympic games. it's exactly 50 years this

monday since that attack and for weeks there's been concerned that the ceremony might be held with little or no is really participation. because authorities in berlin were reluctant to exceed 2 additional claims by families of the victims, who despite a badly botched rescue operation at the time, and a long list of errors and omissions by the olympic organizers and the german state, had received only modest compensation up until now, but this week the 2 sides did reach agreement and reportedly some 70 relatives, as well as the israeli president, will now attend to memorial ceremony. ok, melinda, now there's just been a new study on the subject of germany, israeli ties by the battles. money institute, what kind of findings can you tell us that they've published? well, as you mentioned at the outset, the studies main overall finding is that while almost 2 thirds of israelis have

a pretty good opinion of germany, less than half of germans have a positive opinion of israel and attitudes are particularly negative when it comes to the israeli government only 24 percent of germans rate it's policies is good. and it's interesting that you referred to young people because while many of the younger respondents acknowledged that germany's nazi past means that it does have an ongoing responsibility to the jewish people, they did not see that as extending to the state of israel. while a majority of israelis did and you asked what surprises me? well, i wasn't completely surprised, but i was definitely very disturbed to see that 24 percent of the germans who were surveyed say that they agree completely. or somewhat with the statement the jews have too much influence in the world. and that's an absolutely classic anti semitic

prejudice. one that is often found on websites that for ment, hatred, and it's prevalence here indicates the strong, ongoing need for public information and education to counter such poison. and that was absolutely emphasized by the studies organizers as they published the results of their findings. certainly some very disturbing finding. say that you've been laying out for us t w's. chief political correspondent, melinda crane. melinda, thank you. well, one of the most expensive t v shows ever made has finally had its debut, the lord of the rings of power. and sorry, is the prequel to the popular load of the rings and hobbit films. but the story has been moved to the small screen and takes place 4000 years before the events in those adaptations of jay tow cain's novels. a days of peace

begin. the waiting is over for the lord of the rings fans. this series is not based on a particular j. r. r. tolkien novel. but on the righteous extensive background essays, we thought our choice would be an ending. resort allen night with never seen the skies are strange. the actors say the offer is still very present. everybody in the job is so passionate about, so i feel like we could talk about him all the time. i know i but so many conversations the legend doubt. in fact, i'm not upset the legendary mini mom because my fellow classmates, if you roll their eyes and i said the al with less reliance on c g i, that in the movies and some terrific attention to detail. yes

. so they actually had on, on the wall is massive chart about how scale works and how tall and characters my half what characters are on the line. and then we had to learn about how many cam perspective. so i could be acting opposite you about where they place you with the elation that one of the smaller one of us is to allow beyond the darkness, tempting shadow for years old and the mountain. the filming of the 1st season, a new zealand reportedly cost over $450000000.00 with him. if you could sell his reminder. now at the top story we're following for you parts of southern pakistan, a bracing even more flooding. the huge amount of water is moving down the industry
