supply officer. losing a critical connection un inspectors to say the alarm on the russian occupied are raising the alarm on the russian occupied facility. and in formula one, dutch min max for stopping winds his home, gone free for a 2nd straight year to close in on another title, but this misery for old pho lewis hamilton. ah, i'm really mohammed welcome to the program to lans are voting on whether to approve a new constitution that would give more rights to women. indigenous people and the working class majority of to lands previously voted to replace the existing constitution. the polls indicates they may reject the proposed text. all adult

citizens are legally obliged to vote. ah, president gabrielle burridge costs his ballot. she lays voting on a new constitution to replace its dictatorship era system set up 5 decades ago. he deemed it been deemed regardless of what the result is. the role that i'm going to play as president of the republic with our government together with all of you, is we're going to commit ourselves to come together as a country to advance and justice equality and greater growth and development for all that in my your, this are all you can see me about a boy every to lay an aged over 18 must vote support as a hoping to move the country away from its conservative past. you know, the more highly falcon i hope that we get estate, the benefits us all. oh, to lions, better pensions, better health care, and all the new draft constitution recognizes indigenous peoples and offers them

more autonomy. it would create universal services for health care and education. and it would fully legalize abortion, which has now heavily restricted the present constitution dates back to the 1970s. when dictator or gusto penis shay ruled, it was drawn up to be unabashedly pro business and market driven. despite widespread dissatisfaction with the existing set of laws, many to lay and seem to have called to the new replacement. experts say there has been a significant disinformation campaign, but some also fear market instability, as well as worries about how to pay for new benefits. it doesn't look like tough, so i'll vote to reject it because today's rejection movement represents. as you can see in this place, many different movements and organizations of the citizenry. the vote no movement cuts across the side, but it does not belong to any political party or to

a political elite, as many have said you'd, you'd be good them to see. if the new constitution fails at the ballot box, politicians may have a goal at reforming it, or there may be another constitutional convention to draw up a new new document. hold it up, is your hand. ramirez is monitoring the referendum intellus capital santiago. i asked him how the voting has been going to vote in his teaching plays in total normality here in the city of santiago, i have been going around the city visiting some ball station that i have seen. many people are making long lines a waiting to vote, and that's also the report i have gotten from other cities here in she live. it's remembered that voting today is mandatory. so people, if they don't go to vote, they can get fines up to $200.00 the equivalent to some $200.00 to us,

a lot of money. so some $15000000.00 people are expected to vote today in total normality, all across the country. and while this a new constitution is regarded as a more progressive and inclusive, there is also opposition to this draft text is explained to us. why that is it is a more progressive constitution. first and foremost, there was drafted ah, based on gender equality, the assembly who drafted the constitution was composed 50 percent per cent. for man, i'm 50 percent. ah women, that's something that has never happened in the war actually. so this in terms of quality, they see brittney beak, our progress. so it gives also writes to nature about some people who are posted in this new constitution, say that it is not clear. just not explained how these rights to nature are going to, to be put into practice. it also gives our rights to indigenous people. the new constitution recognizes at least son 11 a nationality, dis,

indigenous people asked nationalities, given them the rights, the right to govern themselves, to own their own lands and even to have their own justice systems. people who oppose to the new constitution say that this is a loss off 1st opportunity for sheila and that they even warrant that it could even lead it to this integration of sheila as a country, how much information is out there to ensure that chileans know what they're voting for some people on the well informed yesterday i was talking to many people in districts of santiago, and many young people told me that they, they weren't not even sure about what to vote on. many people are not well informed that had been let us be missing. formation of fake news during this campaign has been a very dirty campaign. but as i said, voting is mandatory. so people are obligated for us to vote today. ah, official results are expected to be announced around our $738.00 p. m local time.

so that is going to be there of the crucial moment for the country. and finally, what happens if this is rejected? it is not clear, there is not a mechanism, steve clear to establish what should happen because now many people were expecting some months ago or when this process began. now many people were specter that the new constitution would be reject it. but there is also already a kind of an i core, the deal between political parties and the government. that if the nicholas to sions reject it, they will begin a new process, a new cost to enter process to draft a new constitution. because what was a pro back in 20, 20 october 2020. was that people chinney as a once a new constitution? they don't want to continue leaving under the constitution of the eighty's there was drafted to on there a detector, shave it. so if it is rejected, there is an accord between the purchase and the government that the process will go

on. that is that the japanese, johan ramirez in santiago, thank you so much. the united nations nuclear watchdog says ukraine's is upper region facility has been cut off from its last main external electricity supply line. europe's largest nuclear power plant is now relying on a reserve power line and continued to supply electricity to the grid. the station is located near the frontline in southern ukraine and is controlled by russian forces. a team of experts from the international atomic energy agency is monitoring the site which was damaged in the fighting. while at joining me now is not met in mesh cutting, he is an engineering professor at the university of southern carol, a california he worked as a safety inspector at nuclear power plants around the world, including chernobyl, and fukushima is good to have you with us here on a dw news now the plan to is relying on

a reserve line. what could happen is this line fails. thanks for having the man. the situation, as you said, is very dia or if this last straw basically goes down. this, as you mentioned, is the power line that brings electricity can, could take electricity from the plant. but this is a little bit lower voltage line that the other offset powers that we have because it doesn't have enough capacity. they have to shut down to one of the 2 remaining operational reactors. if this power goes down, then the mercy of emergency diesel generators, which are very cranky and finicky equipment. and of course, the, as the name colors, emergency, it are only used for emergency are polar comes back. and if that emergency these

are generators cannot supply enough power to the plant don't unfortunately, we're going to have a situation called total the station blackout. as the director, general phone go see a fire. yeah. which point of a i hope and i think that he and his agency, the 7 piece price. he said that his interview at the minute 20 last friday evening . this total of station blackledge is very scary. and unfortunately, it could cause some over cooling of the spent fuel pool. and if the reactors are not going to court shut down, that could have some serious problem in a reactors. ok. so inspectors are staying at the plant to i said to be staying there for a longer term mission. what will be the biggest task due to an audio heroes from a, basically working in a virus zone. and they are not,

i'm sure they'll come by the russian occupiers there in order to be did i send you stuff? are you over for what's going on? i think their biggest concern is of course, are kinetic military operation against a plan. they're shutting, which is going on at the same time. if i was one of them, i would give equal them even more important attention to the working conditions, to die and working condition off the ukraine operators. i'm in my judgement operators are the 1st and last layer of the fence of any so same thing for the major accident. right? to taken into consideration the potential danger of the shelling and also people working at the station being under constant pressure. how high is the possibility of human error? that's a good question. these heroes, these operators also they have been working literally have gone poems since march,

that the plan was occupied by russia. you're under tremendous stress. there is a fee. there is problem with the safety culture, all 9 traits of healthy safety culture. my opinion has been violated here, according to many research stuff involving some of them. and human error probably can be increased by many phones. you 250 is trust, unpleasant working conditions. ok. that's why i didn't miss kathy. thank you very much indeed for taking the time to speak to us. thanks for having. well, let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. ukraine's payment mister has visited berlin after months of tense relations with germany. denis shamal met with chancellor olaf shalt to push for more weapons. he also offered to send germany more electricity from ukrainian nuclear power stations to help with
