ah ah ah ah, this is dw news alive from berlin. the u. n's, nuclear watchdog warns a military safe zone is needed around ukraine's operation nuclear plants claim which by the head of the international atomic energy agency addresses the un security council. warning that if shelling a wrong facility does not end something catastrophic could occur. coming up on the

show, monsoon flooding in pakistan forces a difficult decision. a huge lake threatens to overflow and authorities have chosen to spare more populated areas as rural residents pay the price. and german lawmakers pay tribute to the last leader of the soviet union, mikhail gorbachev. the man credited for his role in bringing down the iron curtain and allowing east and west germany to become one. ah hello, i'm clear richardson very warm. welcome to the show. we start in ukraine where local officials say russia has again shelby area around this operation. nuclear plants. there's a day after the united nations secretary general said russia and ukraine must cease military activity near the facility and agree on a security zone. antonio guitar hash ward 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 rafael cross, he's 3rd time speaking to the security council, but his 1st time reporting on what he's seeing with his own eyes at the upper region nuclear plant playing with fire and something very, very catastrophic could take place. this is why in our report we are proposing the establishing the established and sorry, of a nuclear safety and security protection zone. coffee says it's not possible to work normally and safely at the plant. it's short staffed, the staff. it does have an 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 and equipment that are

currently present in buildings inside new buildings. on this side, the remove, the russian ambassador accused of shelling the plant and said that could be serious consequences of this is the responsibility lies 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 their name and stop the reckless actions against this power plant. you will be used for delays 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 earlier i spoke to the w correspondent, matthew bollinger and keith, and i asked him, how the i a investigation has been received in ukraine. well 1st of

all, of course, it's received. it was received well that they have criticize the military equipment on the side. that something that ukraine has been has been criticizing for a long time and that they expected them to do. but there was also criticism off the mission itself that they have not really proposed an action plan. they have not really said how they want to, to militarize this area that they, that they just stated what they saw, but did not give any further advice. ok, so ukraine disappointed. there is no plan of action there and we know to inspectors from the i a are staying on at the plant. how helpful do you think that will be in improving the security situation there? first of all, it improves the information of situation on security. so the a will have more direct information from the ground and it will be easier to

monitor the situation because these 2 inspectors, they don't run the plan, they can facilitate maybe some things between the ration management and the ukrainian stuff. and the plan to there are some conflict arising that i might be able to negotiate, mediate, or something like that. but in fact, these 2 people, they are observing, they are not actively, probably going to try to do something security wise there. but it's important to have the full picture, it's important to have the information. so these 2 people, of course, they do make a difference. i mean, while ukrainian forces are pressing ahead with their counter offenses in the south and the east. what is the latest you're hearing from the front lines? yeah, we've heard about successes in the south for some time. we don't know how we're able to consolidate them. we don't get the full picture, there's little access to the front lines at the moment for journalists and so there

are questions that remain them, but we have with the picture that the ukrainians are indeed advancing. there is, it is getting more and more is getting more and more confirmed and in the east we are hearing now similar things. the push a push onto the front lines from the ukrainians. that seems to be that seems to be moving on that seem to be some successes. so a lot of pressure applied there. we don't know whether the objective is to really move forward fast there or just to keep pressure high on the russian troops there. so russia could not deploy them from there to the south. for example, that's something that's how that has been some speculation about. but at the moment it looks as if the ukrainians are having the initiative on the, in the hawk of region and in their own region. and that's off to russia has had the initiative in the dorm bus, but also in other areas for

a very long time. my line are reporting for us from keith. thanks so much. let's get you up to speed now on some of the other stories related to the war in ukraine firefighters are searching the rubble of her survivors. after russian shells hit on apartment block and a school in the eastern, the city of sylvia's, at least one civilian was killed in the rocket attacks. russian president vladimir putin has said that sanctions against moscow are a danger for the whole world. he also warned the west that it was impossible to isolate russia, and he hailed ages, growing on global influence through western countries have imposed a raft of economic and personal sanctions. lieut. since russia invaded ukraine in february, religion with you and the baltic states of lithuania, latvia and estonia have reached agreement to restrict the entry of russian citizens . estonia had already banned russians entering as of last month. but this

coordinated agreement is a new development. and in the united kingdom, newly appointed prime minister eliza truss has taken to her 1st full day in the job with an inaugural cabinet meeting and questions in parliament. in her 1st speech as prime minister, she promised to tackle a host of challenges including the cost of living crisis, public sector unrest, and soaring energy prices. walking in to a multi pronged crisis. but the you case, 4th prime minister in 6 years is undeterred. we will transform britain into an aspiration nation with high paying jobs, safe streets, and where everyone everywhere has the opportunities they deserve. i will take action this day and action every day to make it happen as prime. and despite her optimism, trust, acknowledged, urgent measures are needed to deal with soaring costs that are fueling

a cost of living crisis. business labor unrest will also be high on the agenda. i will drive referral. i will take action this week to deal with energy bills and to secure all future energy supply. but it's not just the economy. earlier in the day, trust traveled north, where she was formerly appointed as prime minister by the queen at her residence in scotland. the nation within the united kingdom that has been pushing for a 2nd independence referendum. trusts will also have to deal with britons ongoing tensions with the you over the brags it agreement, which in particular affects northern ireland. a complex list of issues for trust and her new cabinet. energy prices have been rising in europe after russia slash natural gas deliveries in response to western sanctions. in the u. k,

soaring energy costs have left many of the nations cherish pods. fighting to survive the, the new struck a nerve, the dramatic rise of energy prices in britain could spell the end for 70 percent of all pugs in the country. for this little probably you serve high about 7000 pounds a year. and now the according to probably triple watching. so we looking at bills probably around $24.00 to $30000.00 pounds. prices for private households are kept even though in a high level. but businesses are, had been unlimited price rises by the energy companies, clark cannot possibly make that much money. was this little corner pub? so what will he do? i'm making lots of cuts out of some of the stuff that we do. of course, some of the prices are gonna have to go up and, and we can't put them off too much because of course, the, the squeezes hold for everybody. the more you put up, the less customers you have less money you have. but the end of this in other neighbourhood pubs is not just the question of sheer economics. the pub is his

social hub for the community. a place to like make new friends and to kind of chat and actually have an affordable drink in a cozy place. so you know, if it went away, this wouldn't have happened. so it would be sad to local pub go spectrum. but she was take a break this off to really some ice banks. we didn't think about it. yeah. to work like with quite a few people who muttered particularly because old places like the hand in hand on brighten c front or so part of local history. in old time sailors used to drink here the very small drinking ho. i'm on a, on a corner very, very common around her has been serving the community for, for many 200. is they suffice the recession in 2008 recently the coven pandemic? no. and the prizes might be the final switch. a lot of people of the other pups in those repub community already saw to look at whether this is this is the one that

has finally do them in this coming window could mean last orders for the hand in hand and many of the pups embry let's go to pakistan now where the prime minister says parts of his country are just like a c following devastating monsoon floods. shabazz sharif was speaking after he visited the southern province of sins, as where authorities are struggling to prevent pakistan's largest lake from overflowing. workers have breached a dyke of lake muncher to try to control the waters. and while that means more densely populated areas have been spared for now, nearby villages have been inundated div people are fin, the largest leak in pakistan. has that much the home with the league threatening to overflow and genius breached embankments. 2 died at the water away from heavily populated 80th. but what a level 3 mean dangerously high,

are down to 100000 people have already been displaced. the overflowing lake is the result of heavy rain and pakistan the worst flights on record. one 3rd of the country has been impacted, faint province if among the worst hit and if now facing a humanitarian 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 and situation will get worse. was leads up se led up like ever since the flood. we've had patience streaming in the past and indoor pool. we have 72000 patients registered with us homes on away. but jimmy buckley but we have treated around 5000 children with diarrhea. di again, pakistan emmett, less than one percent of greenhouse gases,

but x but see it as being the price for global emissions. the un secretary general, antonio, good danish have fed the floods out at a felt of climate change nature. the striking beck and climate change is super charging the destruction of all planets. do they? it is buck is done to moderate can be. and what else? good data, just heading to pakistan this week. he's calling for a massive show of international support to bring in 8 that the country desperately need to learn more about. this is aster. i spoke earlier to adel shiraz, the country director of the aide organization care international in pakistan. i asked him about the current situation at lake mancha. the water level ledge lake, my chair is still high and that is like another one or 2 days, which we can still say that the risk. the water is still bossing from different

cities and to abs which are to latrice, including jump short or to enter java. in next, 2 days time, this water will connect with the sea. so the next 2 days are definitely a risk. there were some breaches which are done from this lake yesterday and day before to reduce lake flow of water which has effected some of the rural areas and lake and all the city will saved. but at the same time, the other 2 days will still be a risk. now we're also expecting more rain in the coming month. do you think things are going to get worse before they get better? is it's hard to say this to the i think the, the experience which we have seen in this more than the prediction of the rain. so not that heavy, but there were heavy rain which converted into flag as an aid worker. i'm concerned

because of the rain top and the flow of the rainbow really high. they could be in the spent of flooding, which may happen, and more or less could be affected and even people who are displayed, they may face more challenges. so as an organization, we all need to play our role at this stage, but definitely we are concerned on the next range which will come. and let's talk about that response. your organization has been on the ground a heavy needs, i would say, like, you know, our teams are in the d as in sam then baluchistan via providing support to the effected communities. but there are massive needs. it's, it's not a small area which is hit by this emergency. they're almost like 80 just sick, which are hard to get from this and see. and we are talking about 6400000 people who are in need of support is workers comment organizations and also like us are

providing there's support in these areas. but we need to think that this is not an emergency which will, over within days. because people have lost everything, including this sheltered livestock load, ready crops, and other assets which they had. so it's like, you know, a pretty broad track of the emergency this falls, which is life sitting for now. and then converting into an early recovery phase. and then in the longer term development phase, and that will require a lot of support in terms of financial support in terms of in kind the board but, and then also making sure that these communities ought to be at about disaster risk reduction strategies. so that they can save them. so for any future thoughts or a project like this one, based on your experience as an aide worker, how long do you think it will take pocket on to recover from this disaster? i think the life savings response can before next 4 to 6 months,

which is just the initial response. and then we'll convert into an ally the company response. but it's usually between $12.00 to $18.00. so i as an either worker and like, you know, from my pizza experience of martin in country which was in 2010, i can see that it will take between 2 to 3 years to really recover these 2 communities and reintegrate them to the social network. sure, as country director of care international joining us from islam abroad. i wanna thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us on the w news. thank you so much. as moved now to some other world news headlines. 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 core to deemed the books to be anti government would rights group, amnesty international has called the decision a brazen act of repression. a blaze in

got back down to business after the summer break. the 1st session saw some sharp criticism aimed at chancellor, olaf sholtes over his policies toward ukraine and russia. the bonus tag began at session commemorating former soviet leader gorbachev, whose policy had ended the cold war and bridge the gap between the soviet union and the west. russian president vladimir putin. renunciation of this path and his war against embattled ukraine has led to the crisis situation that germany and other western states have to deal with. we abandoned us more, we will do what is next? that is all. 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 necessary. opposition leader frederick mads from the conservatives, sit back at the chancellor telling him he is not doing enough to support ukraine. he also criticized the government for sticking with its plan to eventually shut off nuclear power through old sites. for the time being,

this capacity must remain on the grid army. this will lower prices. this will reduce costs for companies. you have, people were told you that and it should be anything but an exaggeration. he saw mr . chancellor stop this insanity is in chancellor. charlotte's replied that his government had solved problems before the opposition had even identified them. he called out the conservators saying they were responsible for germany's reliance on russian energy, as well as its slow progress on renewables. the van or you were incapable of bringing about the expansion of renewable energy's you, for defensive pedals, against every single wind turbine. and every defensive battle in the last few years is still hurting our country today. that was view those, the government and opposition agree that energy prices need to come down. but fundamentally disagree on how to reach this goal. dw political correspondent nina

has or has been reporting on events in the been dislike to day. and i asked earlier, how unusual it is for the german parliament to dedicate so much time to remembering a late foreign leader. it was highly unusual indeed, if not unique. i still haven't found any records of the demo bundis sack ever doing anything like this for a foreign leader, german politicians. yes. they do get those camera ration events, but not those from another country. and that of course has to do with the fact that gorbachev did play a very special role in the late 19 eighties for this country. it was his policies, his friendship with then chancellor call, whom he trusted. and his openness g u. s. president reagan and then his willingness to embark on that passed a democratic reform that eventually led to the peaceful revolution that we had here in germany. and that eventually then made german reunification possible. so it wouldn't have happened without gorbachev. so the commemoration event might have

happened anyway, but of course the fact that he died this year brings it home even more that we're now dealing with a completely different president in moscow. russia is on the completely opposite path. babbitt boss, the president of parliament had a message to vladimir putin today. she said it's deeply painful that everything that got much of stood for has been destroyed. and that putin as turned his back on go which of those days. and that, that was a tragic mistake. and indeed the war in ukraine and its ramifications here in germany also featured in the debate that followed the commemoration event. i'm criticism of the government by the opposition leader as we just heard, could germany be doing more to support ukraine? what is true and we all remember that germany was very reluctant up fast to send weapons to ukraine. it broke with a big to bu, for this country here. and especially when it came to delivering heavy weapons, that really was a paradigm shift. but it did happen. and, but at 1st of course, it led to a minor diplomatic route between berlin and keith. but

a germany is delivering heavy weapons now the ukrainian prime minister was here in berlin last week. and in that, in itself, is assigned that ukraine is now willing to say, right, let's put all these things behind as move forward now. and the prime minister show me how thank germany. he thanked all i've showed said there have been lots of progress. but of course he, once more gemini, has sent 10 houses and 15 advent tanks, amongst other things. it was also promised 4 units of the air defense system iris t, but so the prime minister said ukraine needs. c 12 of those and he wants more. you ones combat tanks from gemini, the leopard too. but all i showed stressed today. again the gemini just wont go it alone. even the u. s. are not delivering those sort of weapons to ukraine, so they're very weary of this conflict of potentially expanding to a conflict between nato and russia. and we'll have shows also you mustn't forget, he's got a very strong left wing anti weapons group in his own party. and that some people

say might be an additional fact a why he is still standing on the break. that was our political correspondence. nina has a speaking to me earlier. let's get some sports news now and in the english premier league. chelsea have parted ways with german coach thomas to hook the new ownership groups that it's time to make a transition. a to halt, let it chelsea to the champions league trophy in 2021. but they've had a rocky start this season. the decision to fire to call followed chelsea's defeat to dynamo zagreb on tuesday night in the champions league group stage. their remaining coaching staff will take over for the time being and staying whitfield all in the united states. a landmark equal pay agreement has been signed by the us men's and women's football teams ending a long and at times acrimonious dispute. ah, the men's and women's u. s. national teams made history in signing their collective bargaining agreement
