. also coming up as the a, you conduct ways to tackle the energy crisis. ursula on the line proposes a price cap on russian gas. she says it'll comp, revenues vladimir putin is using to pay for the war in ukraine. monsoon flooding and pakistan force is a difficult decision. a huge like threatens to overflow and all far things have chosen to spare, more populated areas as rural residents pay the price and german lawmakers pay tribute to the last later of the soviet union, mikhail gorbachev. to man credited with bringing down the iron curtain and allowing east and west germany to become want ah, i'm rebec enriches. welcome to the program. we start in ukraine where local officials say russia has again shelby area round the separation nuclear power plant

. fis, a day after the united nations secretary general said russia and ukraine must cease military activity near the facility and agree on a site security zone, antonio terrace warner, 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. grossey is 3rd time speaking to the security council. but his 1st time reporting on what he seen with his own eyes at this upper region, nuclear plant, playing with fire and something very, very catastrophic could take place. this is why in our report, we are promising the establishing the establishment story 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 these regard is that the military vehicles on equipment that are currently present in buildings inside nuclear, big things on this side be removed from the russian ambassador accused key of shelling the plant and said that could be serious consequences. a pearson is at the salute, the responsibility lie solely with key f. it's west and support isn't all those in the security council who don't have the courage to call things by that name and stop the reckless actions against this power plant. you will be reduced 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 can. so russia and western nations at loggerheads once again with no end to the conflict insight and carry

graph is before my head of the i. e. a verification and security policy coordination office. earlier i asked him to assess the danger of the plan given the latest reports of renewed shelling. well, nuclear power plant, so 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 separate 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 appearance of the director general, and despite the report that he issued yesterday. so for the time being, i think the situation is quite dire. ukraine has suggested that un peacekeepers be stationed there if that's something that could potentially work. that would be an interesting solution to have us escape on the site to monitor and report if any shelling takes place and also to assist with the demilitarization zachary's. yep. our plans and the withdrawal. any and all military forces within the territory of the 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. that res. 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 fine 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 of 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 expectations. rafa speaking to us from vienna, thanks very much for your time. thank you. you are paying commission president of

the lion has proposed a price cap on russian gas as part of federal measures to tackle the energy crisis minister. the do to hold an emergency meeting on friday, i made charges that russia weaponized energy supplies in response to western sanctions. we aim at lowering the costs of gas and therefore we will propose a price cup on rush and gas. of course, the objective is very clear. we all know that our sanctions, deeply grinding into the russian economy with heavy negative impact. but booting is partially buffering through fossil fuel revenues. so here the objective is we must cut rushes revenues, which put in uses to finance his atrocious war and ukraine database correspond. marina strauser following this story for us from brussels. marina, how is the gas price cap supposed to work?

funny line said this price car could be implemented very fast. she didn't mention a specific timeframe, but very fast is because the commission wants to use a legal basis, european law. and she said that this means you're a pin member, states that you 2070 countries could implement this price kept very quickly. so she also didn't mention a specific number, a specific price for this cap. this is something that will be discussed at the u. emergency meeting of energy ministers on friday. but what she said is that the idea is that you wants to limits the prices of gas that have been skyrocketing over the last couple of weeks and months as you know. and what she also mentioned it is that not only europe has a problem with energy is garcia, te and energy prices, but it's the whole world at this point of time because of draws that has been

happening in the summer. and we will see what kind of details the commission. so the use executive arm and the countries will discuss on friday at the meeting of and the g ministers have more details by them. right. how. how is the plan being back? is it being backed by all you country? far from all you countries are actually backing this proposal by the european commission. and this has also some things to do with what russian president vladimir putin has said repeatedly. he said that if the you introduced a prize cap on russian gas, he will just cut off all the old gas supplies to the european union. a funder line struck her shoulders when the journalists are so today at the press conference and said, well, this is black mailing, the russia has already cut off guys, partially or totally to 13 member states. so more almost half of them. but still

that is divided when it comes to a price cap on russian gas. for example, the tech industry minister said he thinks this is not a very helpful proposal. it will not help to lower prices. also, germany is remain skeptical when it comes to price. cut. france however said yeah, we'll maybe go with it. hold on, for example. no saw that you countries have even proposed a prize cabin all gas in per sort of block, not only russian in parts, but what many you countries are actually agreeing on is that the use of tricity and energy market has to be reformed. the way it's now it's not working and this is something they will also discuss on friday night. marina. thank you. date of the correspondent, marina strauss in brussels. let's get you up to speed 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 of last month. but this coordinated agreement is a new development. russian president vladimir putin has told an economic form in vladivostok that the developing world had been cheated by a landmark great deal struck by the un ukraine and russia. he said export, we're not going to the poorest countries as was the goal. he also called for more cooperation with asian countries, with the death toll from a typhoon that head south korea has risen to 10 local media, showed rescue as recovering bodies from a flooded ca park for the rescue. tame also discovered to survive as who'd huddled in an air pocket for 14 hours. the storm swept through the coastal city of ho hang on the south of the country on tuesday. pakistan's prime minister says parts of his country uh, just like his c following devastating monsoon floods. shabbas sharif was speaking

of the, he visited the southern province of sind. that's where authorities struggling to prevent pakistan's largest lake from overflowing. workers have breached to dyke of lake men chances to try to control the waters. but a mains nearby villages have been inundated, while more densely populated areas have been spared. for now. these people are fleeing. the largest leak in pakistan has so much their homes. with the league threatening to overflow and genius, breeched embankments to direct the water away from heavily populated 80th. but what did levels 3 mean dangerously high? i don't want a 100 cousin. people have already been displaced. the overflowing leak. if that is felt of heavy rain and pakistan, so worst flights on record, one turret of the country has been impacted. st province is among the worst hit and is now facing

a mandating crisis with millions at risk of falling ill. i'm my child and i drank the dirty flood water and my child fell sick. he started vomiting and got diarrhea. health experts had worn. the humanity in situation will get worth was to lead up se led up ever since the flood. we've had patients streaming in the boss bush and indoor pool. we have 72000 patients registered with us thompson away . but jimmy buckley but we have treated around 5000 children with diarrhea. d, again, pakistan and mixed less than one percent of greenhouse gases, but ex but fe, it of being the price for global emissions. the un fecky to gentle antonio good dish have fed the floods out at a felt of climate change. nature is striking. beck and climate change

is super charging the destruction of all planets. do they? it is buck is done to water. it can be anywhere else. good data, she's heading to pakistan to speak. he's calling for a massive show of international support to bring in 8 that the country desperately need a while the rain may have receded in some parts of the country. the threats posed by the floods. haven't i asked reef job a can of the charity group water aid about the biggest risks for the people in the affected areas? well, obviously the short term needs as was shown by your report is around shelter and food. but most importantly, i think we're trans sanitation and hygiene products are very much in demand because it is a risk of diseases. in fact, either we have seen areas where the number of water born diseases, malaria has gone 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 willing to raised. and even when the flood war to receive the workers education system will be contaminated. and you know, people, if they don't, if they're not decontaminated, if they use this then you know that this will be much higher. but also, i think from an economic terms, the, you know, the, these people are dependent on agriculture for the late today, which is the rural people. and you know, in a few weeks time, the winter crock of cropping time, will come up. and if they don't crop on time, you know, you're looking at, you know, medium term food security issues as well. yeah, that's insecurity. definitely an issue. but if we go back to the health care pakistan's, health care system was already overstretched and under funded before the floods hit . are people going to be able to get the help that they need? yellow, you know, you just come out of the call. we have issues with polio, so yes, anyone whatever interested we had, you know, that has also been destroyed. you know, i was looking at, you know,

some of the reports which talked about health, you know, health centers. i mean, i visited some areas where the local hospitals had 2 feet of water in it. so you and whatever services we had that had been effected by it as well. so yes, you know, a chronic issue has now been exist admitted by this flood as well. as pakistan 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 h, a national level. but this picture we are seeing on the ground is that yes, you know, the, the support from the international community in the short term is low. but also, i think, you know, in that a company and rehabilitation is, 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 as 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 international communities, not just to look at the short term support now in terms of response and recovery. but also. busy in the long run, you know, how can the people in government of august on be supported for example through, you know, a lot of our budget to go into debt servicing. so, you know, donors should be able to come forward and at least take out the interest or

restructure the, the, the dept that focused on those 2, those donors. and this happened in court. so we had christians and i think whatever resources that can be spent now with the go for the government and people to be able to respond and, and also to be able to support in rehabilitation me be very useful in talking about next, you know, for 56 years it'll take at least 2 to come back to some level of normalcy for us. long road ahead arabic con country director of water and thank you for your time today. thank you. thank you for really terminal. my kids have been paying tribute to the last later of the soviet union, mikhail gorbachev during a commemorative session of parliament, the bonus tongues 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, which helps reform policies lead to the end of the cold war. and the re unification of east and west germany. babble balance reflected on gorbachev,

legacy president. gorbachev. but 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 of we germany saw it as much to st. mikhail gorbachev for future, for don, date of the 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 think a unique events. and this is of course because of coverage of massive roll and he is a revered figure here in germany because of his policies. his openness is friendship with the counsellor, him core, 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 goodness, i could 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 but of course got 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 of schultz and the opposition. later feeders, mats we have been kinder and shy, and we will not make any decisions that cause rushes criminal war against ukraine to escalate into a war between russia and nato. good swiss, not on crossland, ivy abandoned us. not then, but we will do what is necessary. these are, it is exactly along that policy line 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 been around seamans 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 kleinie 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 you crime. that 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 and delivered 10 houses and also 15 ad offense 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 show 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 russian propagandists. 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. snap some other world news stories. the u. k. that nearly appointed prime minister liz trust had her 1st full day in the job with an oral cabinet meeting and questions in the parliament. she told em, pays. she wanted to find ways to address rising energy costs for businesses related of the opposition leader of the opposition rather kissed armor said trust was simply protecting business profits and not ordinary working people. for a court in hong kong has convicted 5 people of sedition for publishing children's books. the picture books explained hong kong 2019 democracy movement to children, but the court deemed the books to be anti government rights group, amnesty international court, the decision. a brazen act of oppression. the us has started a massive roll out of new coven. 19 vaccines designed for both the original strain of the corona virus and ami con variance government advisor said that in addition
