science is worn there becoming more and more powerful because of climate change. a grim forecast for a nation where natural disasters ranging from earthquake to bo kane eruptions are already keeping vast regions in perpetual poverty to ukraine. now where inspectors from the international atomic energy agency are being sent to look into rushes claim that key is planning to use a so called dirty bomb. russian president vladimir putin says he ordered his defense minister for sure gauge for you to call top nato commanders, to warn them ukraine plans to detonate a low yield radioactive device. keith has rejected and condemned the claims of ukraine says putin is using nuclear blackmail to block support for its counter offensive against russian forces. and there are fears at pollutants may be preparing a false flag attack of his own. she's in front of us with eleanor saga is executive

director of the vienna center for disarmament and non proliferation. i asked her when nuclear inspectors will arrive in ukraine last week. i actually this week early explaining to national damage and agents in general director grossi and now that the inspectors will be sent to the to facilities for claim that are developing the dirty pong. so called your bomb. but it takes time to, for the inspectors to reach the facilities where are still in the war situation. they need to go by train or by car, depending on the location where they go. we also need to be concerned about their safety and security. so they're trying transit to this facility is secured with some military conway or other arrangements. so my understanding is

they are on their way and should be arriving any day now. so logistics are challenging at these times is how will take that speculation that a dirty bomb could be used has been going on for days. now, how valid is that concern? well, in my personal view on, this is not a particularly well it statement. and so i would have to really come up with any reasonable explanation. why would you grand do that? and typically the plans are to use it on its own territory, but it is also something that i think in mind you probably just in of a distraction. and this was noted in an attempt to install some of the support for you train the a bomb and which is a little

a rare material bound with conventional explosives is intended to disseminate radiation, but it's rarely is going to be limited to the level of explosion and maybe a little bit already, the material is usually in can be easily disperse. but from military standpoint, it makes no sense what it would lead in terms of capital to just the people who are killed or affected by explosion itself. which is like a regular explosive and a contamination of the area. so that is one of the issues with this whole scenario. but the 2nd point is the 2 facilities there freshman, named as a possible facilities involved in it. and don't even have them relevant materials.

they may have some ice that could be used for the dirt, but claiming that they gonna use some new materials from this facilities makes literally no sense. and we'll have to end it there. that's a eleanor sock of the many, many thanks. young. okay, thanks. you. as president joe biden in lawmakers from across the political aisle have condemned an assault on the husband of us house speaker, nancy pelosi. police say they found a man beating 80 to you, old paul polo. she with a hammer at the couples house in san francisco. he is now recovering after surgery for a skull fracture in arm injuries. felicia, the attack was not random. the intruder demanded to see nancy pelosi it was have at the pelosi san francisco home. the police say they found the husband of the us house speaker, and another man grappling over

the country is largest ethnic group and you have to know that south africa's traditional leadership is actually regulated by the government. so the king holds only a ceremonial position, but he is considered a moral authority so he has the power to raise important issues. and the former king did that. for example, in the past, he talked about sexualized violence, alter crit, also criticized outbreaks of violence that happened in the past and in the region. but he was, for example, also criticized. we're not speaking out loud enough against as in a for bigger text that happens in the regions of the past. so he has really a strong role still and he can still influence people in, in the area. and as soon as at lash, before mrs zulu became king, there was a power struggle for the throne. can you tell us what happened there and, and how it was result? i mean, by the end of the day, 1st of all, hopefully this is internal family fight will be over when the president today will recognize the the new king some royal family members had argued for over a year that he was not the rifle air. and that the late,

the late king's will was in fact fought there was a long legal battle. it happens. and public, many said was quite embarrassing after the death of the former king. and critics even argue that it could be also fight about resources. remember, the monarchy is financed by the taxpayer and the end of the day, and the zulu king gets a yearly taxpayer funds budget of about 3000000 u. s. dollar. actually more than that, even a total there more than a then there's a total of $81.00 x in the country that received taxpayers funding. and of course not everyone in south africa is happy about that. it is d w's or you increase on the phone for us from south africa. many, many thanks. out in thousands of people have braved rain in taipei for the 20th taiwan pride parade. the annual event celebrates the island status as a regional leader and l. g b. t q writes taiwan is the only country in asia where same sex marriage is legal.

we've passed on the higher coin just for electricity and for raw materials to our customers. our prices have gone up by 20 percent. but next year we'd have to add another 40 percent to balance out even higher power course. gov. that could be disastrous, was if you don't go to most of us, if all my go get them all the companies electricity bill next year, could skyrocket to up to $10000000.00 euros. under current predictions, the foundry could least customizable to cheaper competitors abroad. and that's not all we'll go well hidden, we might have to reduce our production and workforce. but we'll obviously try to prevent that then it. and so we have for now frozen our investments and stop tiring, bush, lower gas deliveries from russia since it invaded ukraine. is one reason for europe's high electricity prices. the french nuclear sector is another reason. $32.00 out of the countries $56.00 nuclear power plants have been at

a standstill for months due to plant or special maintenance wax. but normally, francis atomic power plants provide for roughly 70 percent of the country's electricity. and so france, usually europe's biggest net power ex porter, currently has to do the opposite. import electricity, lend money, others will job and he needs our gas and we need european and especially german, alec, tricity, frances, in favor of more cables to connect to countries in notated on all, ah, but as but it does show more doubts. such initiatives will be enough to keep the foundry competitive regular machine. we need the government to introduce a fixed electricity price, not only for household, but also for companies low. so that's the only way for us to plan for 2023 calculator budget and make a commercial offers. it offers both. ideally,

that price would be fixed for 2 to 3 years. the window was on the dish or more is determined not to be defeated and make sure his foundry can continue to shine beyond the 7th generation. ah, the poll numbers don't look good for president biden's, democratic candidates ahead of the u. s. mid term elections in states like arizona every vote counts and a lot is riding on the latino community. this is phoenix, capital of arizona. politically, eddie size, if state in this mid term elections, it went to bite and by just 0.3 percent in 2020, i resolved many say was down to latino voters and minority group who could decide the upcoming mid terms as well. that is why everyone is looking at them. now.
