for tens of thousands already caught on the front lines of the war between ukraine and russia. 65 year old hand as a rude and yeah, emerged from a bomb shelter after 3 days of russian shelling to find her home submerged, supreme creature musical, the city is like a ravine completely flaunted it's impossible to drive through the people who are trapped and what became like an island. i was taken away by my friends. i had to leave because having spent 3 nights in a bomb shelter, i just couldn't take it any more load. but how does that route in the is luckier than most her ordeal has ended on a bright moment. you company your color to her sister's live and because i have so she has a place to stay and shoulders to lean on of the well. those living along you cranes lower than the parole river are now dealing

with the immediate consequences of the dam's collapse. the impact may be felt for generations, with thousands of homes and livelihoods swept away in the disaster. okay, the respondents on your family is in hassle and city, which is controlled by ukraine. i asked her to describe the situation. it would have been, so i'm in a residential neighborhood, showed in caps on a window as a risk of tobacco, tional probation, still going on that in the portable is right behind me. it's about 500 meters of behind me. and we've speaking, we've been speaking to local officials here, one of them told me that he could actually walk down the street that you've seen behind me. so much completely underwent that he could walk the looks previously. what's the name of the prison dramatically overnight? now that a risk of teams here that are on stand by with rubber boats and you know, bagels that can wait for the water. and that's because officials have told us that there was some precedents happening is accurate details, some refusing to beat the holdings and they're hoping to, you know,

kind of go by and convince them. and this is the situation with see um in many neighborhoods and kennestone especially close to the new dramatic scenes of people being evacuated by boat or even kind of a who haven't come off some houses which are completely submerged. now we've also been to the city of nicholas, which is about 80 kilometers away from here. and, and what is kind of striking is that a full cities like did the pro us cities like as of which are directly on the do, but have been effective. but a full set of problems much for the inbound that i've also been effective. we spoke to a woman who was unable to go back to a home because the her tone was quite dry. it's north of coastal and she said some bridges of the roads there had been washed away and so she couldn't get there. and i think this was the problem that many risk team, i'm not facing the fact that they cannot access some of these documents. we're heading of ice cream is also coming, you know, from kids with, with, you know, for friends like generate those water treatment plants and rubber boats. it's quite dramatic situation. stuff and wherever people actually going because they're,

they're report suppressing shelling of the affected ukrainian areas as people have been trying to evacuate and, and, and i guess we're talking about a huge area that's under water now. when the officials we spoke to you, or if the city or the or the told us that the city of console has set up a few evacuation side of the trend those already and it's mainly in schools and, and, and jim, as they say, some people have been taking their we heard of a emergency pre and that was set up yesterday to take people to that town if need be cannot, if, which is the next biggest city because they will just be praying this to the organizing bosses this we will actually on the bus station and we cannot if, and we spoke with the locals with costs are pushing there. and she actually said, which was quite interesting. he said that, you know, not many people have actually come in uh, from canceling because they prefer to probably stay with relatives on higher ground, closer to their homes. so only about more than 40 people he said had arrived on print that yesterday. so if you don't rescue teams, they wouldn't stand by to to help you found that go for us reporting their from has

on thank you. now the floods could impact the separation nuclear power plant, which has come on to threat multiple times in the last year to walk us through the dangers. now they end up with jaron is a senior research associate at the project. on managing the adam at the harvard kennedy school bell for santa in boston, how big is the risk of a nuclear catastrophe? the, the head of the un atomic energy agency is traveling to the area next week, as well, according to the i a, and according to ukraine's nuclear operator. and that a lot them, there actually isn't an imminent or, you know, critical risk right now to the bodies. ya, after they the damn has been breached. but of course, we know that a safe and secure operation over nuclear power plant relies on a constant and reliable supply of water with the levels in the could

hook as of wire dropping dramatically. there is a danger that the pumping and the piping system after certain level, after the water drops under a certain level, i will not be able to reach and pump the water there, of course, backup systems. there's a man made cooling pond that has been filled, that has been filled right now. there are rapidly to provide that emergency water. but of course, you know, nuclear power plants are not designed to operate in a war zone. and they're, they're not designed to operate and constantly responding to these very critical um, you know, and drastic changes and conditions. and my concern is, is, you know, the state of the operating staff that is constantly put to in a position to respond to the situation. and the already working under really

difficult conditions of occupation by the russian forces. could you also tell us about the implications of russian occupying forces, having allegedly mind the reactor units as well. you know, if, if it is the russians who blew up the down, and if i were a betting woman, i would put my money on that option. and then it's really not very reassuring as to what the russians might do with the mind of nuclear reactors. now this might not cause the kind of, you know, should know, bold type catastrophe. but again, we see that the russian forces are not shy to cause major major disruptions, right? this is what this is a major humanitarian catastrophe after they they, but the blowing up of the down and that is going to to, to keep you crane occupied in the ukrainian authorities occupied for years if not

decades to come. so i would not put it beyond them to, to do a similar type of a, of a disruption, a major, major disaster. if not, you read the logical release. that's something very damaging. if they're in a situation to retreat from does a pretty asian nuclear power plant, you know, so say from marianna put jaron, how and kennedy school belfast, and to thank you very much. thank you. looking at what some of the story is making headlines in the us to people have died into shooting at a high school graduation in the state of virginia police of a rest of the 19 year old suspects. one victim was reportedly a graduating student, several others being treated for gunshot injuries. smoke from want fires in canada is blanketing parts of the northeastern united states. new york city is marysville urging people to limit the outdoor activities. the canadian province of quebec is at the epi central of the 5 international $55.00,

is that helping to bundle the flags? the banquet is longest, heat wave in decades. as seen, thousands of schools closed temperatures in the capital downtown have reached 41 degrees celsius. the energy minister has born to frequent our country to fuel shortages. residents say the pound cancer, also affecting water supplies. of frances is undergoing surgery today and is expected to stay in hospital for several days. american spokesman says the 86 year old has a hernia. that's causing pain. earlier the pope appeared as his weekly general load against the vatican name, which he called for peace that ukraine. frances has had health issues the last few years. he was forced to spend several nights in hospital with bronchitis in march. i really just the phase corresponded mountain duck has more mountain. what do we know exactly so far? we don't know a lot. we know that this an emergency intervention, we know that he loved well this morning as he met believers. and we know that he

has had a couple of health scares or last couple of months, including the said just mentioned in march because of the bronchitis sheet has limited mobility and of course is an 86 year old man. so, you know, given the fact that he's footprint extends far beyond the church, everybody of course is quite attentive to how these things develop. and it came so quickly. you said he seemed fine. you had a weekly general loading into the vatican and suddenly he's in the hospital. well indeed, i mean the, we're already room or 30 or this week. she will had been sort of brought into the hospital, but it turned out that this was for a scheduled checkup. uh so however, uh, you know, it is the case that this was an emergency procedure to seem to be en, well, i mean that the point in which was pardon, i didn't paint. and so the report of course i said this and earn you we've also reported on the pipes health of late. how prepared is the vatican to have someone

else step in will take of? well, i don't think, i mean if, if this came to words, i mean if you spoke where 2 died, then you would have actually been entire process of essentially burial. and then conclave would set into motion. and then we would have actually a very traditional process. and like the one we saw and you know, with, with the width in there, it is, bo brad's finger, which was something that had really no precedent. but the fact is that this is not really just a religious figure. i mean, the vatican would have to fill in the space of somebody who has a really very large political press and it's not just within the church, as i said, but in geo politics, someone who's been so outspoken and done so much. no. just for the judge and paulo is, but for all of us around the world, very much. so, i mean, this is somebody that has been extremely, extremely involved in geo political affairs. he has actually tried to mediate conflicts and he has deployed his diplomatic muscle, which is considerable to actually bring people here to the table. and so the way

from cuba to, to syria churches have the conversation. so, i mean, this is somebody that you know, it is a occupied so really preponderance space in, in, in word politics and great to see about doing so much. martin got our religious affairs correspondent. thank you very much. remember it? well, the united nations is carrying out an operation to drain over a 1000000 barrels of oil from a decaying tank to off human. the effects of safa has been a bad and for years threatening an ecological disaster. but off the use of fundraising, a salvage mission is only just getting underway. roosting rec, off the coast of yemen, thought x, but say it's a catastrophe. waiting to happen for stuff is coming, move in a 1000000 barrels of crude oil, and that's concerned. it could break apart at any moment for tank. it was being used as a floating storage facility for oil when human civil war breakouts in 2015 since

then is being left to rot. in 2019 a team went on board and took these photographs. they showed the extensive and neglect even then pipes were leaking and valves rusting through. for a small adult, some space, the staff could have a big environmental impact, a spilling the red sea would devastate wild life, leaf fishing communities, destitute and would disrupt trade. 3 of us who is canal you people have been talking about it and the not doing anything about it. this group has been able to do something about it and i believe will be successful. will continue to push forward until we succeed. united nations raised money from establish operation for members, states private companies at even the public through

a crowd funding campaign used some of the proceeds to buy his own time to cooling, to the nautica fis on the nation show, use the plan for north it moves in close adults with the stuff, the engineers board and gain access to its tanks below a pumps and transfer the oil to the north dakota. once its empty for tank, it will be towed away to be scrapped the risk. so something going wrong are real. the palpable, and this is something where to go wrong. indeed, many questions would be asked the only way we could answer that question as well. walking away is not an option. it wouldn't be easy view and saves you a ton to see if could be the biggest oil spill. the world has ever seen. german hard, rough band and stein kick off a series of concepts in unit tonight and mid claims of sexual misconduct,

aimed at lead singer to linda. non german media is reporting that the band is looking into. the allegations made by several women. it's alleged female fans were selected to chose to join off the policies with some reportedly referring to sexual acts. let's get more on that with david levitz from the w culture. they would just tell us more about the allegations that have been surfacing since or was the most serious allegations are of sexual colors and the end of sexual assaults by turned into mind allegedly involving alcohol and possibly date rape drugs. there are 2 women who say that they believed they received what were spiked with date read drugs while they were with linda mind or shortly before i at least 2 of them. also say that that he committed acts with them that were non consensual, one woman who said that she believed she was date, rape, received the date,

rape drugs says that he got very angry with her when she refused to have sex with him. the other one says that she woke up actually to find him on top of her and sort of the wider background of this is that uh over a dozen women have come forward. most of them in anonymous interviews with german press outlets. and they all described sort of the same thing, which is that they were recruited either online or at concerts to party with till the end of month and potentially sleep with him based on their looks. some of them say they were pressured by the woman who recruited them to drink other, say that till into mind himself and gave them drink. and we're seeing more women coming forward with their stories. this, this week, a youtube, a blogger, posted a video and wish they were kick recounts. but this woman took her backstage, allegedly, to an after party. and she says, allegedly that she ended up in a small room with women who were young,

appear to be intoxicated. and were their silent ways, she said that no one checked their ages and she was told that this was the pre selection of girls that till the end of month might like to sleep with it. which points she allegedly laughed so. so more and more of the stories are popping up. okay, so a lot more details or the puerto details that are coming out. what about the band? what do you think about their reaction? well, they have said that they didn't do anything wrong and they say that they've actually launched their own investigation into it. they've also said that they have fired the, the woman who was accused of recruiting these young girls who is referred to as tell into minds assistant. and they have also asked people not to pre judge them. now that's their reaction to fans. reaction has been pretty divided, some of really supported him, others appear to be trying to get rid of their concert tickets as we speak. there's also been a response from politicians here in germany with some discussion of whether cities

can ban carstein concerts. germany's family minister is called for concerts in general to be made a safer space for women and the organizers of the mean and concerts of total understanding and the public. there will be no after parties, there will be no sign parties at these concerts. and what about an official investigation so far? we haven't heard anything about any official investigations, although there's certainly some speculation that might happen, especially when we look at these allegations of date rape drugs. but what i, what we are seeing is sort of a discussion in society that's coming up about the so called grouping culture that's of course existed for decades. and that has largely been accepted in the music industry and some questions coming up as to whether maybe the combination of sex and drugs and power and rock and roll behind the scenes maybe was never a right to begin with every life. it's thank you very much. fulfilling his id to
