ah ah ah ah, this is d w. news live from berlin, the u. n's nuclear watchdog warns a military safe zone is needed around ukraine's exasperation nuclear plants are playing with by the head of the international atomic energy agency addresses the un security council warnings that have shelling around the facility doesn't end

something catastrophic could happen. also coming off monsoon flooding and pakistan forces a difficult decision. a huge lake threatened to overflow and all thirties have chosen to spam will populated areas as rural residents pay the price and german role make his pay tribute to the last. later of the soviet union, mikhail gorbachev, the man credited with bringing down the iron curtain and allowing east and west germany to become one. ah, i am rebecca rita's welcome to the program. the united nations secretary general says russia and ukraine must cease military activity, nay. this operation nuclear plant and a gray on a security san antonio terrace wall, that any damage could spell catastrophe for the region. and beyond. his words

echoed those of the head of the un nuclear watchdog. it's raphael garcia's 3rd time speaking to the security council that his 1st time reporting on what he seen with his own eyes at this apparition, nuclear plant broken. we are playing with fire and something very, very catastrophic could take place. this is why in our report, we are proposing the establishing the establishment, sorry, of a nuclear safety and security protection zone. grossey says it's not possible to work normally and safely at the plant. it's short staffed, the staff, it does have overworked and communication with the outside world is difficult and he says military vehicles are getting in the way. our concrete recommendation in this regard is that the military vehicles and equipment that are currently present in buildings inside nuclear buildings on this side be removed from the russian

ambassador accused keith of shelling the plant and said there could be serious consequences of this is earl took the responsibility lie solely with keith. it's western supporters and all those in the security council who don't have the courage to call things by their name and stop the reckless actions against this power plant . you would use it for the loose, despite russia, song and dance here today to avoid acknowledging responsibility for its actions. russia has no right to expose the world to unnecessary risk. and the possibility of a nuclear catastrophe. nothing new at the security council, russia and western nations at loggerheads once again with no end to the conflict in sight of war on they said, bringing to me, kraus, he's a former head of the i. e, a verification and security policy coordination office currently working for the star. com international pace research institute. thanks very much for your time

today. ukraine is now considering switching off this station. we're hearing that there's more shilling at the plant. how dangerous is the situation there at the moment? well, nuclear power plant, so i'm not really designed to withstand shelling or any sustain military operations . one reactor was operating at that ratio because the backup power line had been disrupted. so the loss of power is the really dangerous situation. although at that very here they do have 20 backup diesel generators that can provide power for at least 250 hours. how confident are you that the necessary steps will be taken to make sure to ensure that the plant is kept safe? i think it's hard to say at the moment, i don't think anyone has any confidence because the shelling is still continuing. despite the use of the director general, and despite the report that he issued yesterday. so for the time being,

i think if the situation is quite dire, ukraine has suggested that un peacekeepers be station there. if that's something that could potentially work. that would be an interesting solution to have us escape on the side to monitor and report if any shelling takes place and also to assist with the demilitarization up as apple res. yep. our plans and the withdrawal of any and all military forces within the territory salaries. yep. our plan there have been some experts who have said that it may not be as catastrophic as the warning suggest, but others of course raising alarm bells. what is the worst case scenario we're looking at here in your opinion? well, i tend to be on the side of those who are more cautious. does that raise? yep. our plan has that 3 backup systems for emergency or cooling. they also have

multiple emergency power supplies, but should any one of the reactive or the spent fuel on get direct hit from a large missile then we could have lost a coolant which could expose nuclear material to the air, which could result in some release radioactivity. and what would that mean? are we looking at something similar to, than the nuclear disaster that happened at a novel i don't think that that noble of fukushima, nuclear accidents are a model or what might happen as a ratio. but nonetheless, we, it's difficult to speculate exactly. right, and you can security aspect tourney. rafa speaking to us from vienna, thanks very much for your time. thank you. let's get you up to speed now on some other stories making headlines around the world. the baltic states of lithuania,

latvia, and estonia have reached agreement to restrict the entry of russian citizens. estonia had already been russians entering as, as of last month. but this coordinated agreement is a new development is that russian president vladimir putin has told an economic form in vladivostok that the developing world has been cheated by allowed not grain deal struck by the un ukraine and russia. he said, exports, we're not going to the poorest countries as was the goal. he also called for more cooperation with asian country. recently with hulu. the death toll from a typhoon that head south korea has risen to 10 local media, showed rescuers recovering bodies from a flooded car park. but the rescue tame also discovered 2 survivors who huddled in an air pocket for 14 hours. the storm swept through the coastal city of ho hang and the south of the country on tuesday. pakistan's prime ministers hes parts of his country are just like a c following devastating monsoon floods. shabbas sharif was speaking after he

visited the southern province of sind. that's where all authority are struggling to prevent pakistan's largest fresh water lake from overflowing. workers have breached at dyke of lake vention to try to control the waters. but it means nearby villages have been inundated, while more densely populated areas have been spared. for now, pakistan's largest, fresh water lake keeps getting bigger, said by months of rain, lake man char, in southern pakistan is close to overflowing, putting hundreds of thousands of people in the area at risk. if we tucker over here, so wholesale entity, it, it would be dawn. so the situation is stuff we had trying to convey and had been fighting since last. what the dog engineers made it difficult decision to cut into an embankment to direct the flood away from the most populated areas and flood dozens of nearby villages instead. authority say the emergency breach has already

displaced a 100000 people. but local reporting suggest the number could be much higher. many who fled say they haven't received any help from the government. dominic, debbie bunn, when the water breached the lake, we got scared and left our village and belongings were gone. for yes, we took our children and ran and came here that i get blanket. we arrived at 2 in the morning and it's been 3 days and nobody's come to help us in that way. most of us are staying under the open sky. only. i may say, bitten on their own and in harm's way. and no one knows for how long living in makeshift camps on higher ground, the displaced face a range of health risks, such as water born and skin diseases. say experts. will that fail that the children missed their home because there's no replacement for your home.

there is no peace. there are a lot of mosquitoes. he and it's very hot. we've asked for an electric fan, but that's impossible. the children's education has been stopped to getting food is also very difficult. we can't even cook because decimal to everywhere. the decision to divert the flood waters has spared the larger cities near lake mancha, for now, but at great human cost elsewhere. but with more rain expected to fall this month, pakistan's disastrous summer might not be over yet. and it's bringing rafe jeb. com. he's the country director of water aide in pakistan, joins me now from islamabad. mr. debbie. com, thanks for joining us today. what are the biggest risks for people in those areas that are most affected at the moment? well, obviously the short term need was shown by your report is around shelter and cool. but most importantly,

i think water and sanitation and hygiene products are very much in demand because it is risk of diseases infect. you know, we have seen areas where the number of water born diseases, malaria has going up tremendously. but i think this is just the tip of the iceberg, because we're also looking at some medium term and long term issues that these people are going to say is that even when the plot was received, the work, the taishan system will be contaminated. and you know, people, if they don't, if they are not decontaminated, if they use this then you know that it will be much higher. but also, i think from an economic terms, you know, the, these people are dependent on agriculture part of your life. dude is basically the root people and you know, in a few weeks time the winter crop cropping time will come up. and if they don't crop on time, you know, if you're looking at, you know, medium to unity issues as well. yeah. that fits security. definitely an issue,

but if we go back to the health care pakistan's, health care system with already overstretched and on the funded before the floods hits, are people going to be able to get the help that they need? you know, you just come out of the way. we have issues with polio. so yes. and you and whatever infrastructure we had, you know, that had also been destroyed. you know, i was looking at some of the reports. we've talked about health centers. i mean, i visited some areas where the local hospital, 2 feet of what we need. so you and the whatever services we had that had been effected by as well. so yes, chronic issue has now been exhibited by this lead as well on getting enough help from the international community sir, no, i think you know it's, it's far less than what is needed on the ground. we are now in 2 weeks into the situation, but resource are just, you know, trickling in government is trying to establish coordination mechanisms. and these

are being used at the local level as well as pro, which and national level. but this picture we are seeing on the ground is that yes, you know, the, the support from the international community, the short term is low. but also, i think, you know, in that a company and rehabilitation phase, you know, it'll take a long time for the country to come out of it. so there are those aspects as well that in the short term, we need support. but also in the medium and long term, a lot of support will be needed by the government, as well as by the people i wanted to ask you about that the sheer scale of this disaster, how long will it take her will? will pakistan be able to recover from days when we did recover? you know, 1st from 2005 earthquake and then 2010 floors. and then after 2010, we had floods in 11 and 12 as well. and even some communities are still recovering from that. it's, this is going to be a long haul and what, you know, what we would expect the international community is not just to look at the short

term support now in terms of response and recovery. but also in the long run, you know, how can the people and governor focused on be supported for example through, you know, you know, a lot of our budgets go into debt servicing. so, you know, donors should be able to come forward and at least take out the interests or, or, or restructure the, the, the dept that focused on those 2, those donor then this happened in court. so he had questions and i think whatever resources that can be spent now, who with the go for the government and people to be able to respond and, and also to be able to support in rehabilitation we're going to use will end up talking about next. you know, of 56 years it'll take at least 2 to come back to some level of normalcy for us ahead arabic con country director of water and thank you for your time today. thank you. thank you for really terminal mike has have been paying tribute to the last

later of the soviet union, mikhail gorbachev. during a commemorative session of parliament, the bonus tanks, president bell boss delivered a speech in his honor and the parliament observed a minute silence for gorbachev. who was buried in moscow last week, go which offs reform policies lead to the end of the cold war under the re unification of east and west germany. harold boss reflected on garbage house legacy president. gorbachev by monday, president. gorbachev was a man of peace from beth. he changed the world for the better him. after moodily he made possible what had seemed unthinkable for decades in a peaceful end to the cold war and to the division of our country and our continent . we german resorts have much to thank mikhail gorbachev for future for dung. database political correspondent need a hazard follow the events in the buddhist time for us to day. nina. very unusual,

i would have thought for a german parliament to remember a foreign leaders so extensively what was said about that and also what's happening in russia today. you know, i really did ask myself at the same question, have they ever done that for a foreign leader? because we know for german, a heads of government, for example, we know that they do commemorative events like that. but even the buddhist talk archive themselves, we call them they didn't have any records, they couldn't tell us straight away. so i, i think a unique events. and this is of course, because of coverage of massive roll. and he is the revered figure here in germany because of his policies, his openness, his friendship with the chancellor, him court, and all these things lead to that path that then became german reunification. so germans are eternally grateful. and essentially, also across the political spectrum for his role in that. so maybe the bonus, i would have done it any way. but the fact that he died this year also brings it

home even more just how much current russia is different from the soviet union in the late eighty's and the of course, garbage of and put in a completely different people's. the babel boss had a very strong message also to the days kremlin and said, and you've destroyed everything that gorbachev stood for. and that is a tragic mistake that you're turning your back on. these are things. yeah, that comparison was very clear. but the war in ukraine and its ramifications here in germany were of course, also featured in the debate that followed the commemoration event. let's hear from chancellor all have sholtes and the opposition later feeders, mats we have been kinder and shy, and we will not make any decisions that cause russia's criminal war against ukraine to escalate into a war between russia and nato. he could switch novel sla above the abandoned us more than what we will do. what is necessary? diesel is exactly along that policy line is closely embedded in the alliance with our friends around the world that we support ukraine and will do so for as long as

is necessary. a bonus cancer if you're missing the slider fished in. mr. chancellor, we regret to say that we cannot trust your assurances. football maybe be 19 and along with the purely financial questions of equipping the german military of the you and your government are not fulfilling. the clear will of the german parliament to supply ukraine. finally, with an adequate measure of heavy weapons and often salvazar and surprisingly imposing view there of course from government and opposition, but germany support for ukraine has been quite contentious. is germany doing what it can all it can to support your crime? there was a minor diplomatic route between villain and keys. let's face it because of germany's reluctance essentially to send heavy weapons to ukraine. they've now done that. they've, for example, m delivered 10, howard says, and also 15 air defense tanks. amongst other things, the ukranian prime minister came to berlin last weekend and he thanked officers and

said the germans had made progress. and but of course he once more and amongst other things, ukraine wants leopard 2 tanks. and those are combat tanks from the german bonus that will have shows has sofa said no. and also the, and the advent system, the iris t that germany has promised for models of a prime minister. me holler said they need 12. so this is something that will have shows appears to be standing on the break. still he reiterated again today in the bonus tag that he cannot go it alone. germany cannot go it alone. it is watched extremely closely also in moscow by a russian propagandist. what does germany do, what is germany doing? so as soon as germany becomes too active, this will be seen as a confrontation in moscow and will actually doesn't, will not role. he doesn't want the conflict to extend to a conflict between nato essentially and russia. so that is something and then other people are also saying, well, he does have a very left wing anti weaponry group in his own party. and they are also having an

influence on him. and we're probably also going to have to assume that the german government is also still hoping that one day putin will realize that he cannot win . and that we, he will show some willingness to step back from his ambitions in ukraine and then they need to be ready to have a plan. is it d, w political correspondent? nina, thanks very much on to west africa now, where ganna is stepping up, security in its border region made growing concerns of johanna violence. that's jew, partly to an insurgency led by groups linked to al qaeda and the so called islamic state. the insurgency has spread from molly to neighboring burkina faso. the crisis has displaced more than 2000000 people. there are many of them now flaying south into ghana as a tax. continue. the deputies maxwell so visits a camp hosting refugees close to the border.
