i want to wreak, of nice the support that we received from the united nations department of safety of security. we have incredibly good people there that are coming from the most or you know, difficult, a hotspots in the world and that they were accompanying us and guiding us through what they themselves recognized was a very challenging thing. so they are going to of course, to continue to have the support of course of course. yes. surely a what do you mean? sorry, by the inner circle of i know. yeah, yeah, i understand. i let me. thank you. no,

no, no, let me, let me, let me explain. let me explain it the a every nuclear power plant as, as a, has a crisis center center where a certain operations can be handled in every circumstance. this place is being used for other things, but there has been a another, a center set up for the facility to continue working. so um, there is no i would say influence in the operation of a blank because of the non availability of this place that has been chosen of course, by the military occupiers, to have a place. and i cannot get into that because i dont know, frankly i'm not hiding anything from you but and, but it is, it is, it is obvious and we will be recommending that that the blank should have its

normal urban, you know, operational centers and, and room. so for that, i want to emphasize this because an o, this an idea i have seen in some of their comments or reactions that we were not shown that we were paraded. we've seen what i requested to see everything i requested to see, even as we were going along, when something we thought should be seen. i said, i want to go here and there, and we saw everything. i want to emphasize this because i think it's very important or when we go somewhere we do what we need to do. and if we are prevented from doing it, we just come back and say, we were not able to do it. so thank you for english. ah, ah, yes,

thank you. i went yes. yes, yes, yes. everybody has 2 questions. one is really good, very efficient. with or yes, thank you for asking. yeah. so with

that, well, i what we try when we put together our teams with the support of my deputies here. we tried to have the best combination of knowledge as necessary for with what we believe we are going to be doing at the plant. we, we, we chose a very experienced team and i can assure you that we will at all times have the necessary knowledge on site, on safety and security and safeguards could be do, could be 3, but not at all times we are going to be able to to have that, and so, and the 1st question was, what this is this question of yours, of course, has a subjective factor to eat. and,

but i would say that the fact that the i h east there that we have our people, they are informing 24 hours a day, or assessing what is going on. and for those who may have her, her intentions from the blank, knowing that international inspectors are there, witnessing, and informing, immediately what is happening has an i think an inherent very important and stabilizing effect. i don't want to aggrandize or pretend that what we are doing is going to either a settle this terrible war or give back the plant to ukraine. this is beyond our capacities or we are doing. there is stabilizing, looking at the safety of the security of safeguards aspects of the plant. in the conviction that if we get this right,

this will have some bearing influence in what happens over all say hello hey, listen, your question, which is a very interesting one, can apply to every thing with if you look at other situations with other countries that i'm not going to mention now because they are not part of the discussion today . you will find the same thing. when people tend to like what we say

that they will go to the praises when they don't like it. they will say that the disease above that, of whomever or that we are being manipulated or that we are, we are never manipulated. we, we never lose our north, we know what we would, we need to do. and we, we listen of course, respectfully, to all this noise. but our ability is to, you know, keep focus on on what we need to do are we, you are aware of the comments and of course, and it is very legitimate for member stage to expect that the agency or myself, we'll say exactly what they would like me or the would like a easy to say, or course i have to be very clear in what i do. i have to be prudent in what i say . my responsibility is ah, $300.00 and anywhere and 60 degree or one. so i have to be looking at all the

factors involved and how everything i say will be affecting other important pieces of the operation that we are having. so, frankly speaking, that are enough political players in this game. and there are enough people saying what they feel or condemning one or the other. the nuclear watchdog has to remain what it is, the nuclear security, safety and nonproliferation watched up. and we have to do it short to have its credibility. we, we respect and we understand that people have these expectations that we was demand for these things. but what are we believe is that we're with the i. e adds value is in its technical work, not if i am one more of those saying a for b against a or b. yes,

you're right. i say watch, you know, i hope we are not going to be constantly there. i hope that norman see will return . i hope that there will be a day, not in the yet any distant future where the plant is going to be operating again, normally in the we would it, it with it, with its normal owners and operators. and we are going to be visiting periodically as, as, as we did, i think, in all its drama. and in all its tragedy at these proofs, why you need organization like the idea that can go there, try to provide a degree of stability, a degree of certainty about what is going on. now, when you will hear that,

that is an allegation that something has happened at the plant. you will be able to turn to us because you are doing it now, but now we have people there. people who are going to be telling this is dissipation. this is what happened. we are talking to a, b, or c of the engineers or, and this is what we see. or we are not being allowed. we are locked in a room dizzy. what's going on, and then we will know we're in trouble. so i think that's the difference and my question is a technical expert, but for sure you met with our with terry fine with it. i would say that the meaning that he is present those there at did not approach

us in any way. we are not available for i asked a couple of occasions to um, to talk to one of them. but they were not available precisely on this issue of the, of the control center of the crisis center. because i wanted to ask a why they were there any face room could be returned to each normal functions. but it was evident that this a group was ready with thrown out throughout our, our, our presence there. but what we got from our ukrainian counterparts is that in general, this is the case they are working with. they are russian technical counterparts. and i describe dissertation before is not an easy station is a tense situation is not an ideal situation. it says iteration. everybody is coping with

a there. well there it is. possible, it is happening. it has been happening since the blank was occupied. there is a military force that has taken over not only the plant that part of your brain and they are in control. the plant continues, sun decided to leave the plant and are not working there anymore. some decided to, to, to be there and to continue in in their work. this is why i have been saying that this is a situation that it is not a we cannot envisaged these to continue for a very long time and feel that his character of what is going to happen. these people basically are very fundamentally uncertain about the future. as we all are,

do you know what's going to happen with the war? i don't you don't. we hope for peace, but we don't have it yet. or is it? yes. well the, i would say they're both the combat i've heard comparisons and they, they, they make sense in terms of the public interest because people of course relate to teacher another. i think the spacious are quite in comparable. are these, these are operating nuclear power plants. they have the degrees of safety that are immensely here than spend what happened there at that are however, risks in terms for example, of the spent fuel or storage at which, which is there in case it was attacked,

or there was an impact there. it would of course, not be comparable to what happened at that time, but it could have john's boundary, perhaps effect or regional. he would depend, you know, i don't like to avoid the question, but i don't like to speculate too much because you know, you could be a big thing or a small thing depending on the, on the damage. yes or no. not surprised. no surprise. no more with these pieces.

we shocker. i sent it, i guess still did not look greg a c c and kissed your deck of who was ivy. i next door a dw. we've just been listening to chris for conference in vienna, where the head of the un atomic energy watchdog, raphael glossy, has been feeling a scene about the assessment of un inspectors of nuclear. and in these upper ratio, which is in russian occupied ukraine. we know that these are the site was captured by russian forces. soon after they invaded ukraine and, and shelling around the plant check is causing deep warry in europe and around the world of potential to which is why this body has decided to go there. and in this case, thanks for the plan. now we've been listening to raphael grosse, he has essentially been running through some of the main points of,

of their inspection. and he's some that are in a kind of traffic light system. and basically said that the physical integrity was a big red stop sign. he said that had been violated several times. he said the safety and security system though was fully functional and nash ah, he confirmed that monitors will stay at the plant. he also said everything. yeah, monitors were asked to say while they were at the planty was showing to them this needed yes, we are not leaving. we're not going anywhere. let's listen to what he had when we would evaluate at the time, we had a similar situation which nobody you remember. joe norville was occupied aswell.

and on the 31st of march there was an evacuation. interestingly, that didn't, didn't mean that the i e, a left, it meant that we came even in bigger numbers with more help to assist then to reconstruct the safety structures. and we have a big program of assistance, which by the way, we are also planning to have, for example, each year when we, as soon as we can, of course, as soon as we get, as i said, we have to be realistic. we are dealing with with reality. let me thank you all for, for your interest. we are going, as i said, to continue. i work at the plant there and hopefully have a deeper degree of information hoping that this is going to help stabilize the whole thing. on tuesday,

i am going to be briefing the united nations security council about our findings and what happened. i thank you again and i wish you a nice weekend. thank you very much for having think you're watching the w news. you've just been listening to a press conference in vienna where you and experts have been sharing their findings and their assessment of what they had to see at the nuclear plant ins operation in ukraine. this is europe's largest nuclear power plant, and it is currently in russian occupied territory, the manual listening to with raphael grossi. he's been briefing reporters on quite a lot of aspects to do with the assessment. he kind of summed it up in a kind of traffic light system. the most thing he was worried about was the physical integrity of the plan. this was marked by a big red stop sign. he said that this had been violated a number of times,

but was more positive about other aspects of, of what they had to see. like the safety and security system was fully functional. he said, he said that monitors will stay at the plant and that they were showing everything that they were asked to see. our correspondent, family for char is, is in vienna. she has just been watching the press conference. we're going to go to her now, fanny, it's, it's great to have you here. what do you make of what raphael grossi had to say is what he had to say expected? if you expected a clear answer on just how much concern is there around that nuclear power plants a whole? is it you expected a very clear answer to that too, but definitely not received that what you did receive is basically the i a promoting says the success, the very fact that some of their staff members could remain at the nuclear power

plant, about 6 of them for now, and 4 of them are supposed to leave as well. while at the same time is to gross due to head of the i. e. made clear that they want to permanent presence at the zip for each up power plant to be able, transparent as it is possible. i mean, this is an active word zone in ukraine right now, just how possible is it? what he says that the agency wants to do is to inform people in a very transparent way of what exactly is going on at that nuclear power plant. and exactly, this is we're a little skepticism and a little questions arise. just how much information can you convey and just whole jacked of that is given the fact that even though that power plant is operated by train one at the same time, it is controlled since early march by russia. that's a really important distinction that you've just made there, sorry that the plan is being operated by ukrainians, but the territory is under russian control. i want to ask you funny about something

that stood out to me. i guess there was the concern that russia would only really show the inspectors what each wanted them to see. but raphael grossey said that he just quoting him here, i saw everything i requested to see which, which i found surprising. exactly. there was a little skepticism already before. actually mister grossey boarded the plane and left a towards vienna and there was a lot of skepticism of what exactly has seen now. there was also a lot of allegations revolving around that this is more just the parade. it was paraded around the nuclear power plant. mr. glossy made clear here. this was not the case. he says that he has seen everything that you request just to see why ukraine has a different perspective on that. they say that crucial parts of the power plant, for example, the so called crisis center have not been accessible to the i e. h. now as international, but also both domestic and international generally were unable to accompany the age

inside the plant. there's not much we can add to that in terms of confirming what actually has been seen or not. what we can see, however, is that appearance, your reports of 1st assessment of this 1st visit is a to a be completed by early next week, which will shuttle, i'd at least on just how much could be seen. and what that actually means with regard to the 1st question again, just how safe is does upper region nuclear power plant. and of course, they're going to be really interested to see that report when it's given. funny. what could you outline some of the concerns that raphael grossi said that he had after the 1st visit, and before any subsequent information might come back? well, the biggest concern is the so called physical integrity. how do you make sure that this entire facility, that all the reactors, that everything around it,

basically the site is not being, shall not have happened quite a few times during past during the past months in august. and in fact, as we're talking right now, we're just hearing, in fact, from ukrainian as sources. i in a very rare address there in ukraine, a saying that they have hit an ammunition, a weapons side close to the plan. now this is what you, craney saying, because obviously if you look at the math, the nuclear power plant is located at the southern river bank of the neutral river, which is controlled by russia. what across from day on the northern part of the river bank, this is from where ukraine is trying to. i'm make advances and make sure that they get control over the south in their counter offensive in between. and in the middle is the nuclear power plant. so as a result, what is crucial, and this is what's been underlined here as well, is the so called physical integrity, making sure that this building is not being hit, but then how can you actually make that?

sure. if you're to look at those questions, just how much, how many parts of the a power plant is accessible? and also, as i say, this is an ongoing war, paul long the russia enable that the staff members of i e will be able to carry out their investigations there. and just how far, how deep can they look into what's actually happening there? so a lot of questions will at the same time, and this is not going to go away. the concern, the concern for people who are living, not just their own plan, but all over ukraine is a nuclear disaster going to happen. and whether this is going to be averted and with this group of people that's been talking here right now, the press conference, whether they can actually carry out their job and have that influence and impact to avert such a disaster. certainly a lot of questions and concerns that was t w's fanny for char, in vienna, speaking to us about what we've just been hearing this assessment of un inspectors on what they had to see at the nuclear power plant ins operation in ukraine. fannie,

we really appreciate your analysis there. thank you. we'll rushes state aren't gas produce a gas prong has announced a complete halt to supplies, flowing through the key note stream one pipeline to germany. the company says it had discovered oil leaks in a turbine. the route was temporary, close this week, for what russia code maintenance work. russia now says more work is required on the pipeline. it's given no time frame for the resumption of supplies. germany is heavily reliant on russia, natural gas and accusers, moscow of cutting deliveries as retaliation for western sanctions. let's get more on this now. we have benjamin alvarez grava here in berlin belt. ben . hi, what do we know more about this announcement? what can you tell us? what gas from is saying is in no league at the compressor station,

meaning that they will not be able to continue sending gas via the north gym one pipeline. but it's you just said it. berlin and brussels have repeatedly accused a rush of using energy as a weapon with a german economy minister will but havoc saying that russia is using it this to play called the political maintenance. so we have annual maintenances with this pipeline. it happened a few months ago. we were there in loosening where this pipeline comes to germany, what it touches ground in germany, and from there it reduced its capacity. now we have this new situation with gas from saying they cannot say when it will resume again, sending gas to germany. okay. what kind of reactions have there been to these? so has been a short press release by germany's economy. it ministries saying that russia is not a reliable partner when it comes to m holding to account of fulfilling the

contracts that they have. a pretty similar statement that also the european commission gave saying that russia is not fulfilling its obligations. and one of the strong as reactions and the link comes if from mikayla or the chair of the german parliamentary foreign affairs, a committee who says that it's russia psychological war against are so pretty strong, a statement from berlin, from brussels. but we're the government to say here in berlin, germany is definitely better prepared than it was a few months ago saying that the storage is the gas storage is in the country are already at 84 percent. so that the country is better prepared if for the winter months that will one of the biggest fears and concerns also within the german population. it will not be enough gas. but what the german economy ministry, sad of reacting it to this statement by august, promised that germany is prepared and that the energy supply secured. and these preparations, as you say, benjamin are really going to be key coming up to winter. now north stream flow is

will hold it for 3 days this week. i have any effects, bane fills not yet. it's not always that fast. did you see the reaction? so we have the so called nominations, that's a number that em authorities have to see. one gas will flow, and that's something that we've seen over the past months, is that you see the effects only a few days after that, and germany is dest patrice, still searching for alternatives. germany thinking about having this, allen g. so liquefied natural gas terminals in northern germany, the economy minister has been searching for tentative partners. one of them could be, for example, katara. we have the u. s. we have france to try to move away from russian gas from this dependency. the germany has that has been criticized by the public not, not the decisions that have been taken now by the german government, but over the past. a 15 years of anglo michael of 1st saying that not true one was

never geopolitical project saying that it's just in economic project. then of course, is also pressure with a north stream to this other pipeline that never went into effect. but it's not a big surprise, and when, after this annual maintenance, russia decided to send a gas again to germany was as a brief relief air, but with many saying that russia cannot be trusted. so there is definitely no trust between germany and between russia that it will fulfill its in its obligations with this contract has been a lot of discussions. always some problems with the survey there was in, in canada, there was also under this is sanctioned european sanctions to russia. it was and sent it to germany to then be sent over to russia. so were expecting this, it to continue and not being the last time that gas from that this energy company owned it by the russian state will say that they are complications that our

technical problems for them to not be able to send mcgasey germany. and certainly a really tricky situation characterized by a lack of trust as you say. benjamin alvarez grew by our political correspondent. thank you. been well, finance ministers from the g 7 group of industrialized nations of pledge to impose a price cap on russian oil. they aimed to limit russia's revenues and its ability to fund the war and ukraine. let's have a listen to what german finance minister christiane linton. i had to say. these are pies or by grants, if it was at this price cap on russian oil exports is designed to reduce putin's revenues. to close a major source of funding for this war of aggression. at the same time, we want to contain increases in global energy prices, which will minimize inflation globally or the influx you on global christiane linton of it, so it will the j seven's move have the side effect is anastasio finnic from the pressure group economists for ukraine hope and of course that

deciding factor here will be how $97.00 countries will react and how many of them will maintain that right. and what we're seeing there, i think, is quite promising. so for example, last week when russia operate indonesia, a long term contract and might well at a steep discount or 30 percent discount. and indonesia did turn that down because of fears of secondary sanctions from countries like the u. s. and that is going to be the ne lepper of the g $7.00 price gap is to get broader corporation. ok, you just mentioned the us now it's banned russian oil imports. and the e u is going to reduce imports by 90 percent by the end of this year. so how is this price got going to hit russia? if indeed it does come into effect? that is a very correct and important point to keep in mind that the g 7 countries are not the ones who are going to be buying russian oil long term. they've either banded

already, they're reducing it or they've committed to nearly batting it in the coming months . g 7 announcing that they're going to be implementing a coordinating and price counties. not about those countries telling russia or we're going to pay less for. well, it's really about those countries to the u, the u. s. u k of the members of the g 7 and other allies saying we're going to use our bargaining power, whether that's in shipping and insurance with secondary sanctions, to bring about a price cap on the global market. now, you've made some important points, and of course russia says it will simply not sell oil to countries who impose a cap on the price of its oil. how do you see this playing out? yes, so we definitely see that russia is ready to limit its own experts, right. like we're seeing with natural gas in your and then playing around with shot off shot on several times. of course, that depends on how many countries are going to be going along with the price gap.

if it's a sufficient number, roughly cannot afford to switch off, it's will to everybody. and again, here on the implementation of the price gap, he's going to be really important. we saw today as an announcement that it will be happening in some form. we don't have any details about how exactly is going to going to work. and here, the important thing will be to calibrate that number of the price gap, for example, to take advantage of all of the bargaining power that g. 7 other allied countries have but not to go overboard to not to have a number that's too low. so that is not attractive to other countries to fall. that's on a study of city of the economists for your crime. please do come back on now. short and other news. now we're going to go to pakistan where people are preparing to be in mandated again by heavy flooding. a wife water is surging down major rivers from the north. they have been wakes of extraordinary monsoon ryan's and devastating

floods across the country. and the humanitarian crisis is expected to get even more drastic already. some 33000000 people have been affected and more than 1200 of died . oh, this flood that a town in the southern province of sinned is already preparing for more shoring up existing defenses. and building new ones with huge areas, still submerged authorities, a warning even more water is surging down river from the north a, b, b, but not ag. bonnie, a, b, b, dolder. more water is expected to flow, disagree with what that is. we've been working to make and reinforces dikes and early morning donna i, we have been doing not to leave this down that i, we will save our down. again. melissa clinic alone, which has been denied. but that will be an uphill battle authorities, a trying to evacuate people before the new flood waters hit. millions of other

pakistan is have already fled their homes. now their left scrambling for food and shelter like here in the northern punjab region. made efforts all across the country have been hampered by the sheer scale of the destruction and extent of the need. we wanna, we are in the space by the water for the past 15 days. we have lost everything. but until today we had received nothing. but with more flooding expected in the south and more rain forecast for september, the pakistan could soon be facing an even deeper humanitarian crisis. and in the us, more than 150000 people in jackson, mississippi, have no safe drinking water after floods disrupted the cities aging waters system jackson's majority. black residents say that the problems are

a result of decades of under investment in their community, lining up for water to drink, bait cook, or even flush volunteers, as well as the national guard are helping distribute bottles to tens of thousands of residents. but supplies here. don't always last for water is it's just been really frustrating. really, really frustrating. you know, the war i'd like you, you can worse you to you. they say it's ok the baby in. but, you know, if you get in brown water out of your bossa, you don't even want to bathe in it. so you really trend to bow wanted to take care your needs around the house. the demand for bottled water has emptied out supermarket shops. and while the streets of jackson have been flooding with rainwater, clean water is running scarce. city officials say the flooding led to the break

down of the water treatment plant, resulting in the lack of drinkable water. do not drink the water from the pipes. if you can avoid it, boil it, if you must use the water. many, if jackson's majority black residents blame a decade of disinvestment in their community without federal funding or oversight, they fear the problem will persist. so i am going to have a black sign and say, i have a cd, there has poor schools, poor row, you know, grocery stores running out of food and no water to drink. i honestly don't even want to bathe. my baby in jackson's water. authorities are installing an emergency water pump at the treatment facility to bring up the water pressure. but locals hope their cries for help will be answered with more than just a temporary fix. police in argent, tina have arrested
