2:02 am
ah, a military conflict within the premises of a nuclear facility. it doesn't take an expert to understand that that is a tremendously dangerous situation. it does, however, take one to assess just how big the danger is. a group of un inspectors spent the past 5 days at this upper regia nuclear power plant and is now concluded that conditions at the facility are untenable. calls for a safe zone around the plant grow louder and louder, but are likely to fall on deaf ears in the kremlin of nickel frilly him. berlin. and this is the day. ah, i worry, i will continue to be worried about the plant. i'm seeing. we've got
2:03 am
a situation which is more stated to this, or because of russian provocations is up. patricia plan to was one step away from a nuclear disaster to plan. and the physical integrity of the bumps has to be in by several times. it continues its provocations up as upper region nuclear plant to create a threat of a man made disaster to die the power plant. yes, that's the scariest. this is a reality that we, that we have to recognize and this is something that's got not continue to happen. i also coming up on the day, entrusts we trust or not least trust officially takes over the reins from bars johnson. she bows to hit the ground running, but brits don't believe she'll be able to deliver on her promises. she's got a lot of work to do on that, to be honest, as she will do it being a member of the team. she was saying to live a, to live with deliver over and over again. well,
2:04 am
of course has been made interesting to see whether or not she's able to do the role as this is. but if you've been sort of a lot tricky, the united nation says urgent action is required to prevent a potentially catastrophic incident at the upper region. nuclear plant in ukraine, inspectors from the international atomic energy agency issue, the warning and a report on their recent inspection of the russian occupied plants. the experts were 1st able to access the site last week to assess the damage and working conditions there. since russian troops took control of the facility early in the war, keith and moscow have accused each other of risking a nuclear disaster by continually shelling the site. well, in its report the i a, a calls the current situation to add this upper region nuclear power plant untenable saying it is the 1st time in
2:05 am
a military conflict that it's occurring amid the facilities of a large establish nuclear power program. a nuclear accident can have serious impacts within the country and beyond its borders. and it warn't. there is an urgent need for interim measures to prevent a nuclear accident arising from physical damage caused by military means. this can be achieved by the immediate establishment of nuclear safety and security protection zone for you and security council has meant to discuss the situation at those upper region nuclear power plant and the head of the international atomic energy agency. rafael grossey, who led the team of inspectors there briefed council members on his report. he said the world was playing with fire and warned that a catastrophic incident was possible. the physical attack wiggly or unwittingly, or the hits that this facility has received and that i
2:06 am
could personally see assess together with my experts is simply an acceptable. we are playing with fiber and something very, very catastrophic couldn't take place. this is why in our report we are proposing the establishing the establishment story of a nuclear safety and security protection zone limited to that, but a meter that blanked itself. let's bring an alina silk of a. she is the executive director of the center for disarmament and non proliferation mozilla. welcome to the day. this report pains a truly troubling picture of the situation on the ground. what do you make of it? well, 1st of all, i want to applaud the i a and it's director john grossi board taking dean is
2:07 am
actually going into the active or zone to assess this. and this is the 1st time we have an independent assessment of what is taking place there. and they do report that there are compromises and sometimes very stressful situation and the nuclear o plan, which you're already heard, the director general. and we have a fire in the most troubling situation in my view and granted in the report, careful is 2 things. first of all, that continues to be selling, including the hiv, when they're inspectors are and the side. and the 2nd 3rd of the power lines continue outside power lines continue to be compromised and cut off. there was another one ago and we still don't know whether the outside or was
2:08 am
connected. and the 3rd is a very stressful situation on which the i and cranium, operators and personnel are working there. so this 3 to me are the most concerning that. but he does love prayer presses in calls for the stablish man of the safety and security protection zone around the power plan. i think it's a very important the initiative and a we need to ensure that it does have a chance to be discussed and figured out how to find a stella said, well yeah, they've got rather a one thing sorry to interrupt you there, but how likely do you think we are to actually see hostility stopping in the area it really depends on what the parameters of this protection though, would be,
2:09 am
and who would be the parties actually implementing that protection. because say earlier suggestions that loaded by several countries, including the us and others, to stablish and demo at the site and then rounded and brought them back from that. so that is clearly to me, it's not something that they are prepared to to agree on. but there could be, where are you building where in unprecedented situation, we've never had military conflict and wrong. they knew so where, where turn to the territory at the moment. and i don't know, i was actually skeptical it originally about the possibility of this mission to take place. but it did happen in both russia and ukraine and the end agreed
2:10 am
to proceed. so i would, i would give it a chance, but it's certainly going to be in the effort. what more could the international community do to ease tensions around the plant? i think this is very song was coming from all countries and now you're in security council. person for even now, it continues discussion of the report and that proposed by the director john grossi. it would be extremely important to continue negotiations and consultations and keep possible and is all one hope is the 1st and foremost the i presented is do remain at the nuclear power plant. they're only 2 inspectors counseling, but there is in town to keep them. and i also think that the initiative
2:11 am
and the energy with director general are currently in continuum color do press. all right. part is he already started consultation. so do give us some glimpse of hope. it's hard to predict it, but it is very worth the effort because indeed we're playing with the bar. is there a way to increase pressure on vladimir putin to maybe push forward with this, this idea of a security zone because he is, as, as you said, or his troops are playing with fire. but he has so far rejected. and every option that has been put on the table regarding these, these do demilitarization efforts around the area of upper region. how can we increase pressure and bring people to the table?
2:12 am
no pressure. but what i think that's it is actually in the russian interest to at least explore this over to unity and continue to negotiate. because if you think about it, the new club, a nuclear power plant is actually the ease on the part of the territory of russia occupying. and if something happens to the nuclear power plant, the power is kind of so you can provide the backup supply. if you are human error, so now working on the stressful conditions, there isn't, doesn't recognize this is the russian territory. this is the ukraine and here it will read all over. so i think it is in russian interest to seriously consider this proposal and work for the national community. how likely is that going to be?
2:13 am
again, it's something to uncharted territory. elena soak of an executive director of the center for disarmament and non proliferation. thanks for your time tonight. thank you. well, all eyes are on the nuclear plant, the battle rages on in many other parts of the country. ukrainian officials say 3 civilians are among the latest victims of russian missile attacks near the city of car keith, ukraine. second largest city has seen constant shelling since the start of the conflict with what much of the fighting long, focused on the east. now ukraine is reporting advances in the south where it launched along a way to counter offensive last week. the pentagon confirm that keys troops have started re taking villages in the region around purse on heat by rockets again and again, hockey is ukraine's 2nd largest city. it's position in the east near the russian

2:16 am
will finally be paused to a new conservative leda. let me say the law in law like one of those booster rockets that is fulfilled its function. and i will not be gently re entering the atmosphere and splashing done invisibly in some remote and obscure corner of the pacific. and i will be supporting this trust and the new government every step of the way. thank you very much. thank you. goodbye. thank you for his johnson and liz trust, then headed to scotland for the next part of their performance. they visited the queen at her residence at bell moral castle. johnson was in 1st to officially tender his resignation. he then left no longer prime minister and once he was gone,
2:17 am
trust arrived at baltimore for her audience with the queen. and the british monarch formally invited her to form a new government. she then headed to her new official residency number 10 downing street or she addressed the nation for the 1st time as prime minister in her speech. she praised her predecessor and vowed to tackle the challenges facing britain had on i have just accepted her majesty the queens kind invitation to full menu government. now is the time to tackle the issues that are holding brittenback. as prime minister, i will pursue 3 lead priorities. thusly, i will get written working again. secondly, i will deal hands on with the energy crisis caused by putins will. thirdly, i will make sure that people can get doctors appointments, and the chest services they need. we will put all health service on
2:18 am
a thumb pitching. i am determined to deliver sankey, ah, and quinton peel is with me now to talk about the new british prime minister. he's an associate fellow with the europe program at the chatham house, thinktank. mister peel, good to see you. the list of promises is long. how will list trust go about delivering? well, she's basically got the stand on the heads. most of the things that she promised during her campaign. she said, she's going to go for tax cuts, no subsidies. in fact, she's going to have to have enormous subsidies to try and put a cap on the energy prices. and she's gonna have to spend a huge amount of money on the national health service on defense. so actually she's
2:19 am
going to be quite a spend a save. she lost no time to re shuffle the cabinet. did she hers is very diverse, quite young, very much out of her own wing of the party. did you pick the right team for the right ahead? well it's certainly been criticized already as being quite light weight not particularly experienced. although in many ways it looks quite like the, the johnson government that it replaces. so there are quite a lot of people that over in the form of government. well there several heavy weights have gone. like the deputy prime minister, for example dominic rub. and she's brought in people who were clearly her supporters and it's quite clear that she's rewarding their loyalty. and the other, most interesting thing is really that the 3 biggest jobs in government have all gone to members of ethnic minorities. you've got
2:20 am
a black chance through the exchequer and quasi grad chang. i'm a black foreign secretary in james, cleverly and british asian. ah, so l a brother, man as the home secretary that's quite striking in terms of the normal male white cabinets that the british have seen. the conservative party is in a bad state bell deeply divided. will she be able to get every one to rally around her? you thank she's gonna have a real struggle. i think, i mean this, this succession battle and the replacement of johnson has been a very miserable and bitter affair. they've been squabbling very openly and she didn't get a resounding endorsement in her election. i mean, actually, she didn't even get half the members of the conservative party to baccha, and she got quite a poor sharing also from members of parliament. so she's gonna have quite
2:21 am
a struggle. it's possible that she may not last very long if she can't hold her party together. but she has a big majority in parliament, thanks to the majority that maurice johnson, one at the last election h t. c majority. which should see her through the danger being that when you've got a big majority, people feel much more able to rebel against you. so she's gonna have to woo people quite assiduously. she's gonna have to work very hard at this. and as you perhaps heard from her speech, she's not a very persuasive sort of person. she's rather dull very different day to maurice johnson in that way. she doesn't have any of his humor and his flare, like, let's zoom out of bed. when does her appointment as prime minister mean for the you case position in the world? well i, i fear that it doesn't mean a huge amount of change. i mean,
2:22 am
she has made her name a bit of the foreign ministry as somebody who was tough towards the european union . she's the one who's the of table, the legislation to scratch the so called northern ireland protocol, which is a vital piece of legislation to enable the whole trade to trade situation with the european union to work properly. if she's got a scrap that against the signing the forest, johnson did of it. then that scare to poison relations with the european union. the question is, will she change her mind on the truth is we don't really know. this is a woman who looks on the one hand as a very i ideological sort of person. but on the other hand, she was once a remain nurse. she wanted to stay of the you. and then she became a fierce breaks of the somebody wanted to leave the you and i think we're going to
2:23 am
have to wait and see how she works out in power. quentin peel of chatham house. pleasure speaking to you tonight. thank you. ah, israeli president, you tuck hartzog, has called for a closer ties between germany and israel. he made the remarks to lawmakers in the german parliament in a speech marking the 50th anniversary of the munich olympics massacre. in 1972, 11 israeli team members died after palestinian militants storm their compound in the olympic village. on monday, german presidents on fantastic maya admitted that jeremy had failed to protect the israeli athletes. after his speech and the german parliament, hertzog visited the former nazi concentration camp bergen belsen alongside his german counterpart. israel and germany's presidents paid their respects to the

2:26 am
faced with the graves of bergen belsen dead over them and the millions murdered in the holocaust in every form of anti semitism. that sadly still exists in germany is an alarm signal for our country. the visit ended at a memorial for one of the most famous victims of the holocaust and frank murdered like her sister, just months before the liberation of the camp. a reminder of the terrible suffering that these 2 nations are determined will never be repeated. ah, a huge crowd. welcome britons, prince harry and his wife megan markelle as they arrived and decided off here and germany for an event one year before the 2023. in victor's games, which the city is hosting this year. the in victor's games are an international multi sports event for injured soldiers, founded by harry in 2014, he himself served in the british army and was stationed in afghanistan. he remains
