a team of its experts visited the site last week to assess the damage and conditions for the workers there. since russian troops took control of the facility early in the war, keven moscow have accused each other of risking a radiation disaster by shelling near the site. and meanwhile, ukraine says 3 civilians are among the latest victims of russian missile attacks. here the eastern city of harker, if russia's 2nd largest city, has seen constant shelling since the start of the conflict heat by rockets again and again. how keith is ukraine's 2nd largest city, its position in the east near the russian border, has made it a target throughout the wall. there was an explosion on dar apartment shook pieces of tile, hit my child's back on the seat and collapsed on my head. very thick smoke

5:04 pm
that they needed quiet their business. the press and the population are ukraine to basically not demand much new data from them until they achieve their goals. but what we can tell from people who are still in the ground, locals who stayed on rush occupation from pro russian bloggers who sometimes go bit further than the rush of a line. this is definitely an intensification of the ukrainian campaign or france, whereas previously, in effect, sonia his shooting mainly at night. now it's all day long. we've seen reports of attacks on russian weapons depos on logistics hubs, on the bridges across from her. so those are the new pro river because you have to remember here, this space here, a russian outpost on the western bank, the pro river. those russian troops are very dependent on supplies coming across the river in terms of food, in terms of ammunition. so ukraine's kind of short term goal now is to push them back from that part of the river, the most vulnerable russian position in the south ukraine. and it seems like they're doing quite a good job, but really making those are just more difficult. we've seen time time again,
5:05 pm
the bridge is being hit, pontoons being destroyed, and the russian force returning to pull out all the stops to be able to function at all. while synagogue buys half of its wheat from russia and 6 per cent from ukraine . the ongoing war has hampered those imports and cent price is rising. and it is prompted a push in senegal for more locally source serials. and that at least has given farmers and local businesses a boost in this region of western senegal, most farmers cultivate millet, a local high protein grain eaten for breakfast and supper. traditionally, farmers have kept the grain for domestic use, but now there is a push to expand production in a way that will benefit local economies and reduce reliance on wheat, regional agricultural associations and a local n g o are providing training and equipment to farmers like the gong may, sorry, they have also encouraged him to switch to organic farming mancha new younger. i'm
5:06 pm
seeing all the advantages before we were using chemical fertilizers, but it's expensive. and now i also know that it's toxic. and with the new method, there are higher yields and fewer expenses than organic fertilizers last longer in the ground and got, and even when you have 2 types of crops, it's efficient for both. when the improved yield has enabled the gung need to better provide for his family, the mill it sold by farmers like him is bought by bakeries and other businesses in the community, including buy entrepreneurs such as our d up. she is now using locally sourced millet and may is to make her fritters rather than imported wheat, oklahoma from i couldn't go back to wrinkle clients, have started to appreciate a 1000000 fritters ovens of our lives will time known for melodically, but we'll move with our tradition on women millison mays are irreplaceable, had a lot to miss, also easy to digest them, wheat flour, one of them. but one big question is whether people in cities and other parts of
5:07 pm
senegal would also be happy to switch from week to cereals such as millet. many single leaves prefer wheat. that gets of the type sold in this bakery. the government is encouraging bakers to use local cereals because as the price of wheat rises, so to do the subsidies that they pay, this bakery is making gradual changes. but convincing customers here remains a challenge to quantify among the inform us. i think they're still a lack of information. we're trying to sensitize people to say it's good for them. is it? and every time we explain this, it could be on the consumption increase. the form is big, big off on one. when i started a mock on it represented only 2 to 3 percent of the total sales will go be for example, today it's a 20 percent. my objective is to reach 50 percent of sales for bread made with local serial work. well, not even where i think on for far full will bundle for him locally shifting away from weed to decrease food dependency is something bakers are determined to do even
5:08 pm
beyond synagogue representatives from 8 other countries in west africa recently came to dakar for the launch of a confederation of west african bakeries available like the credit with the crisis in ukraine building. we thought there's a need to find alternative solutions today, bringing bakers from west africa as a 1st year and decor every new. only one is a need for synergy. we want west africa to wake up. we want to make commercial exchanges. luckily, if i want banana flower for synagogue. if it is, if i can import it from the ivory coast and if an ivory and wants millet flower, he will import it from niger or synagogue. and that's the purpose, anybody, and he will find a mini, well, with the new the new shields and they go off is either whether the use of local serials will reach its full potential, remains to be seen. eating habits are slow to change. the hope is that at some point the country will be able to reduce its reliance on imported wheat. let's
5:09 pm
bring you up to speed now with some of the other stories making headlines around the worlds. a powerful typhoon has hit korea, leaving at least 2 people dead and 10, missing. thousands have been forced to evacuate typhoon hinted, numb nor battered the south of the country and left thousands of homes without electricity. the storm has now moved back out to sea and is expected to pass north west of japan. rescue workers are searching for hundreds of people still stranded by a 6.8 magnitude earthquake. it struck south western china on monday. at least 65 people are confirmed dead. the quake set off landslides in a mountainous area on the edge of the tibetan plateau. and canadian police say one of these suspects in a series of fatal stabbings has been found dead. they are still searching for his brother who may be injured. the 2 are accused of killing 10 people and injuring 18 in the province of saskatchewan. it is one of the deadliest attacks in canada's
5:10 pm
history. with united nations says that in the 1st half of this year alone, more than $700.00 children have died in nutrition centers across somalia. the country is now on the brink of famine, almost 8000000 people. that's about half the total population are facing crisis hunger levels. the worst hit area is the by region in the south. the u. n says that barring a massive influx of assistance, that region is likely to see a full scale famine in coming months. southern somalia, this is what the worst drought in decades looks like. people displaced by climate change and conflict. their only source of water is this distribution center in a displaced persons camp. the united nations humanitarian agency has been sounding the alarm for some time. i've been shocked to my call these past few days by the level of pain and suffering. we see so many somalis
5:11 pm
enduring famine is out the door. and to day we are receiving a final warning. it's been for failed rainy seasons in a row. and now the u. n says a 5th one is on the way. but the problems in somalia run even deeper decades of civil conflict, mass displacement and one of the lowest standards of living in the world. what's happening in the horn of africa is a threat to a way of life, which is sustained families and communities for generations. it's not just a lack of rain for full seasons. for many families, it's an end to the way they've lived. a search and food prices worldwide, and a grain shortage triggered by the war and ukraine have made the situation worse. this entire region is on the brink of extreme hunger,
5:12 pm
waiting in vain for the drought to end. earlier i asked patrick well, senate from the united nations of world of food program who the forecast fan would affect the most. so it's going to affect the most vulnerable 1st and that is young children. it is the elderly, it is those living with disabilities, it is those who been internally displaced by conflict, but also by the terrible right across 4 consecutive seasons. and what did your organization doing to help us pay? we've been saying for months we cannot wait for a declaration of famine because we know from the past, by then we'll be too late in 2011. the last major famine in somalia that claimed more than a quarter 1000000 lives. half of the people who passed away had died before the official declaration. and we haven't been waiting. we've scaled up our assistance
5:13 pm
or food and nutrition assistance in somalia to the highest levels ever. we've more than doubled the number of people we've, we've reached from april through to july. but it's imperative right now that we are able, that we get the funding, the resources to maintain and said or increase that scale up. because we heard martin griffith say just yesterday, we are in the last minutes of the 11th hour. we have to stop this, right. and just to get a sense of what you are up against as, as you personally travel the region, what are you seeing and hearing from families and from health workers there? yeah, yeah, probably. i mean, it's absolutely heartbreaking. i was in the my read, sorry, i was in the same for a state which is where the by region is in my last mission that and you all going through camps that are growing larger. by the day, the people fleeing from drank desperately seeking humanitarian assistance. i've
5:14 pm
spoken to to mothers with children just waiting in line to try and get some of the life saving assistance. vale telling us about either family members who have to stay behind or children who just haven't been able to be strong enough, the journey and who have done it along the way. this is truly a desperate situation. the time to act is right now cruelly. we are seeing the effects of climate change hitting those least responsible for it as we are in many other parts of the world with even more catastrophic weather events forecast for to come up on the horizon. do you think that hers way of life can survive what needs to be done to help future generations survive in this kind of environment? you know, i mean again, mr. griffith spoke to this yesterday, but another part of the work that we, as of us he had been doing in somalia. the other agencies doing with the government, with local communities is working on resilience because you're right,
5:15 pm
the pastoralists won't be hits in particular, are so badly affected by these climate shops of all recurrent. this is unusually so the turn that somalia is very crime to drank the flood tropical storms. they keep company. so it's so important that the sustainable long term solutions we are working with government with communities to help some of these build ways of life. the more resilient against the shocks, petro wilson in nairobi with the us world food program. thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us. thank you. going to go to the u. k. now and list trust is set to deliver her 1st address as newly minted prime minister, after taking over from her predecessor boris johnson. earlier today, trust met with the queen who formally invited her to form a government. the new prime minister is immediately faced with the pressing task of strengthening the economy as the u. k. face, as a cost of living crisis, labor unrest,
5:16 pm
and soaring energy prices. so let's bring in our corresponded berrigan mos in london for more. barragan's list trust is about to give her 1st a speech. as a prime minister give us a preview. what can we expect to hear from her? the sense of expectation is definitely rising here and downing street the hundreds of journalists under locked and has just been erected and she will make his speech within the next minutes. and i expect it to be mostly on domestic issues because you have to bear in mind she has been elected. and she has been inaugurated by the queen as prime minister. but she hasn't been elected by the public, but only by the conservative party. but so by less than a 100000 people. so she persuaded those people that she was the best person with in the cabinet to, to lead the part in to be the prime minister. but now she has to persuade the country that she has the plan and that she has what it takes for tackle to various crises that the country is facing. an economic crisis, the cost of living crisis. but then again,
5:17 pm
she's also up to now being the foreign secretary. so i expect there will be something about britain's plan place in the world and aid. be interesting to see whether she says anything about the various rouse that she and the conservative government have had with europe, with the e you over breaks it is a she has managed to persuade the conservative party. that is of course, a fraction of the u. k. electorate, how popular is she among the wider public? so the conservative party have been with various prime ministers, are been in power for 12 years now. and i think there is a sense of the country has been and crises and it, this is also due to the party that has been in government for quite a long time. and that probably explains why the labor party, the main opposition party is leading. and the polls and all to kiss darma, who is the leader of the opposition labor party is leading over list trust when it's about their, their pastoral qualities about leading the country and maybe worrying for this
5:18 pm
trust. there is a one poll that came up fairly recently that said that to her, one of her weaknesses was to lead in the crisis. and the u. k definitely is in her economic crisis at the moment with inflation rising for 10 percent, possibly up to 20 percent as what some for cause say real wages have been falling recently. and least ross has in this contest, i expose herself as somebody who says it's all about growing the economy. it's about cutting taxes. it's not about handouts, but she really has to get to grips with a crisis that is crushing many households. it's an energy bill crisis that's really very hard for those who are already squeezed with a, with a wages so, so that ones that are the poorest and society she will come out have to come out with a plan and she will have to explain how she's going to tackle the, the energy builds and, and the cost of living crisis. we are just seeing now some white pictures of live trust, the new a prime minister on her way to downing street. we're expecting to see her make
5:19 pm
a speech that will be bringing to you. i'm very recent. you've mentioned are some of the pressing issues that the u. k. is facing. i mean, she's taking office with no easy task. what do you think she is going to tackle 1st among these well, it will be enter the energy build, say we've had reports that some companies are facing energy bills, small businesses that are up to 10 times higher than what they used to be paying. and one for example though, there was a pub who have has come forward and they said however, all of a sudden an energy bit of a 100000 pounds. so that is absolutely out of the ordinary and has no way that they can pay that. so it's small businesses and that really need to help from the government. the talk is about a freeze of, of energy bills. and this trust has said that within the next day she will come up with a plan. but i expect in the speech, she will have to give a hint of how she is going to tackle this enormous christ as the u. k. as other
5:20 pm
european countries, as subject to rising costs are rising energy cost. this is due to the war in ukraine. so it's not the only country who's, who's facing that problem, but here a lot of people already are hard squeeze and that what, that's what makes the problem even more prescient in the u. k. get, thank you so much for that. we will of course, be bringing you that speech live and then come back to you for more analysis of now . thank you very much. so i've just heard some of the challenges facing lead trust as the new british prime minister, including spiraling inflation, skyrocketing energy prices, plus a number of crises in public services. our correspondent barbara vessel has a closer luck this not a lot of choice. when fiona's making sandwiches for children, but she has to be really careful when buying food for it bigger concern for her, her energy bills. i will not be as in mike asked her car in the winter. and just to the fact that my gas is going to be a lot more expensive,
5:21 pm
they share not. i'm not sure if i be able to afford it up to speed, easy food that doesn't take up too much gas and electric. but how to keep the children warm once the cold weather comes, is worrying her even more. we have to wrap up in the house where extra kobe in the winter, instead of putting on the heat in a day trial, my full time. barstow starts to seem to struggle life for fiona is a fight. but she fears this coming winter things might be getting even harder for her and the children to look at this central london hospital. another shift is getting underway for the ambulance crews every day. they're bringing in more patients than the emergency room can handle, which are struggling to even get people into the doors of the i a and we're having to treat them in the back of the ambulance. and some of these time critical illnesses, like strokes and heart attacks, are just simply not being seen in time. this leads to waging ambulances sticking up
5:22 pm
outside the hospital doors in the end endangering people's lives. because of these delays a hospital, we are sitting here unable to answer the 999, cause that are coming in. i personally witness death where we have been to someone who might hold for chess, fame, and 12. 15 hours later, we turned out to the house and the person is deceased. understaffed, underfunded and close to breaking down is professionals are dealing with the traces of the national health service on a daily basis. we're in the middle of the biggest staff in christ espionage as ever seen in its history. on top of that, this government has no credible plan to actually fix these problems. aaron, himself is doubtful whether he'll be able to carry on the job for much longer. did he out on the beach for many londoners? this means a trip to brighton. but swimmers should think again, on rainy days, raw sewage is being pumped out of this drainage pipe straight into the sea. because
5:23 pm
victorian technology within a 150 years old. what we're experiencing in this country is a lack of investment in our infrastructure, which means these are being used on a constant regular basis. this happens across the country for years now. he and his fellow activists have been fighting against the water companies responsible for this practice. so far without success, you're surfing with all of the things that come out of paper toilet. they know you've got sanitary towers, you've got a paper and everything else that goes in with it. and i know so you know, b c's as well. raw sewage on britain speeches. this is a nation that has more than one crisis on its hands. are here in berlin. israel and germany's presidents have laid remembrance meets at the holocaust memorial. israel's isaac had saga and germany's frank fall to shine mar visited the site after hertzog addressed the parliament in berlin. he is in germany as part of
5:24 pm
commemorations marking the 50th anniversary of the munich of massacre on monday, germany apologize for miss handling the murders in 1972 in which 11 is rightly team members were killed in an attack by palestinian militants speaking to the german parliament hartzog urged both countries to fight antisemitism together. and not to forget the past. bailey observe. a ha, we love whether we wanted or not. the memory of the show are, is a deep part of our identity as a nation. go on a story, shall a people who carries in its historic memory such a dark, abysmal impossible experience is not a people like all peoples call them mother. and despite all of this, even if we cannot meet in the realms of memory, we must meet in the realms of meaning and mutual learning body damage. to give meaning to the memory classical, to treat memory as an obligatory imperative as
5:25 pm
a moral imperative as responsibility or you. earlier i spoke to did ellie's chief clinical correspondent melinda crane. she's been following israeli president hertzog state visit to germany, and i put it to her. that remembrance seemed to be the light motive of that visit. it was indeed in fact, he called remembrance the most important command that the bible has in it, except for the command to love thy neighbor. but his emphasis on remembrance was not as an end in itself, but as a path to responsibility and explaining that he paid a very, moving tribute to his father, who in fact, was the 1st israel president to speak to the blandest tug in 1987, and also was a british officer who helped to liberate the nazi concentration camp baglan belsen and president hertzog described his father's words in connection with his
5:26 pm
experiences. they are at bargain bells and his father said that no one can forgive except for the dead. but the living have a duty to remember and that that is not easy, that it's complex and painful for both sides, for germans as well as for israelis. and he said, for president hartzog in his speech this morning, there are those who want to draw a line under our past and leave it behind. but remembrance is a judy because it creates responsibility for the future responsibility to future generations. responsibility to ensure that these crimes cannot happen again. and that is of course, part of the reason why germany and israel have a special relationship today. can you talk to me about the state of ties between the 2 remembrance and responsibility were a big subject not only in the speech by president outside, but also in the speech of the president of the buddhist toggle boss who talked
5:27 pm
about the fact that 70 years ago when germany 1st agreed to pay reparations to israel, there were many, many citizens of germany. and in fact, many people sitting in the buddhist target that time. who did not think that was the right thing to do. who did not want to remember? and she talked about the responsibility of that, then chancellor conrad add an hour and his leadership in bringing germany along to a sense of responsibility. and she emphasized that as the president, how talk as did german president dine mar yesterday in his remarks at a memorial ceremony for the israeli athletes killed 50 years ago in munich at the 972 olympics. all of them emphasizing responsibility because in fact, there are many now in germany who do believe that it's time to draw a line under the past yearly one. and 2 germans in a recent study said that they felt germany could leave this past behind. and
5:28 pm
a majority said that they do not see a responsibility, a special duty of germany to the israeli state. and that is indirect contravention of course of the words that we heard today from the israeli president. but also the principles of many, many german leaders and the president of the point is talk said part of the responsibility is to counter semitism in this country. what she said is not an extreme phenomenon on the margins of society, but in fact, often at the very center. i had also bringing up a geo politics. i specifically a ron's nuclear ambitions, were front and center. i'm speaking in parliament hertz, all called on german lawmakers to stop iran from getting a nuclear bomb and said tara is ineligible for nuclear deal. what is germany's position here? germany is closely aligned with the european union, and it's a foreign policy representative. jose,
5:29 pm
jose berto has been pushing hard for a re entry of iran into the nuclear agreement, signed in 2015 as a means of averting what he has called nuclear catastrophe. but he also acknowledge recently that he is somewhat less hopeful about the prospects of that happening now than he was even a month or so ago. and certainly president hertzog saying today that he sees it as part of germany's responsibility to the state of israel to prevent iran, which he says is a country bent on israel's destruction from moving on with its nuclear program. so a clear challenge there to germany, that is part of its responsibility. it should follow the israeli line, but that has not been the german line so far. you know, the chief political correspondent melinda crane. thank you so much for that update . and some tennis news from the us open 20 to time
5:30 pm
