a priority for the political elite. the united nations nuclear watchdog says ukraine's apparition facility has been cut off from its last external electricity supplies. europe's largest nuclear power plant is now relying on a reserve power line controlled by russian forces. the station is located near the front line and southern ukraine. a team of experts from the international atomic energy agency is monitoring the site, which was damaged in the fighting. paul norman is a professor of nuclear energy at birmingham university. here's his assessment of the situation. it's certainly a slightly elevated cause for concern than we had previously. and i still believe that the chances of some sort of wide spreads nuclear instance, a pretty small ah, but the issue with the power lines is that you require electrical power in order to provide cooling to the reactor. that that would be to stable for sort of meltdown
1:12 pm
type situation. and what we had is the, so you have the main power line switcher. and now off, you have a reserve power line which is where we are at the moment. and then you have back up diesel generators as your sort of last main option. if he likes, obviously we've knocked out one of the 3. i think, you know, that raises the level a little bit. if you're headed to the beach, any time soon, consider this, chances are they'll be a sharp, not too far away. sidings are becoming more and more frequent in waters around populated areas. but scientists say humans aren't on the menu footage. that's likely to make many viewers feel uneasy. to say the least. a huge hammer had shock right next with swimmer at miami beach, scientists who track their ocean predators have discovered that situations like this. ok, a lot more often than you might think. despite the noise and pollution shocks don't

1:14 pm
up and down the coast line in areas that, you know, there are people that be in the ocean. and i think, although this might make you a bit nervous to me, it just proves the point that sharp, you know, really don't want to bite people. and that back sharks really tolerate people and tend to avoid them. the scientists say it's still unclear why the shocks were not infect repelled by the cities, given the high levels of noise light and air pollution, they produce. one theory is that the marine predators have grown used to urban centers over time. another is that they are drawn to the dead fish and pots thrown into the water by people fishing. one way or another shocks are a lot less interested in making a meal of us than you might think. well ego and the foo fighters have bid an american motional farewell to the bands. former drummer taylor hawkins singer dave grow, let us star started concert in london,
