number such as to why welcome to the program president below theresa lensky, says ukrainian forces of strengthening the positions and brush instead of to the game during a surprise offensive. you create in folds across the border into the course, screeching earlier this month. the mondo is now said they have destroyed a bridge near the settlement of blues choral and an attack which but to disrupt the russian supply lines. the kremlin says ukraine targeted the structure using us me drunk. it's. are you creating the air force commander released this video of a strike on a bridge, and course russia says ukraine used us, made highmark, artillery to destroy the bridge across the river. same blowing the bridge up could disrupt russia, supply lines to its forces in the area. a bunch of most chocolate bonds. we see that the okay, pilot is suffering losses. and this is helpful,

very helpful for our defense pistol. so it is about destroying the logistics of the russian army and draining. there was a huge deal. we must inflict my mind maximum damage of the old russian position. and we are doing that beautiful bullets. so lensky said the russian town to suit you. 10 kilometers from the border is now fully under his troops. control. russian statues and symbols are to faced as ukraine prepares to set up the military command office. here. they now claim control of over 18 russian villages. a belgrade region governor has ordered the evacuation of even more difficult to wisdom from august 19 . we are closing access to 5 of settlements, removing residents and providing them new housing. virginia lo was in the russian residence in corsica. now scene seems familiar to ukrainians after they're associated with shows. what does this for what i wish they would protect our city

of costs from all this. you know, they've got it under control, but as you can see, not every thing is under control of government. no eating you. so what's going on now is what you use to submit with pm 30. some people started to pick up a bag with a documents and belonging to the in. can you good way to do if the worst happened? it was very scary, especially when we had a building bumped by very scary brush and put them would you cream itself is still under attack. children there being forcibly evacuation from the dentist screeching . residents are fleeing the city of port croft as an air strike on the city of sunni shows. ukraine was still put out fires on its own territory even as it starts them across the border. dw sonya finally got in cave has more of the situation and of course, and then you creating president statements that his forces us trembling depositions best. that's right. i mean,

military officials who are saying that really building on the territorial games they made in that course creating the same did not know, controlling more than 80 set to move settlements in that region. since that surprise incursion, which you create is hoping when you know shift the dynamics in this conflict of those reports here. um suggests that the advances, if you're waiting to have slow down in recent days and it's still not clear how you, how long you're printing, you don't kind of really plans on holding onto these attempt research to seize in the course region which officials hillard have said could serve as a bargaining chip at any future piece, legal fiction. now we're gonna separate them today. russia's defense ministry accusing ukraine of planning to attack a nuclear plant in the course region, which is under russian control. it says ukraine plants to blame the publication on moscow. you print the label, has denied all these claims and call them and they will, it's insane propaganda dw point to find that good and keep that. and i'm now joined

by him some nation, but the and mrs. cathy, who is a professor of engineering at the university of southern california, and he's an expert on safety at new to you about lots, but to come to the w. mr. mccarthy. i want to start by asking you about that statement. we just heard from our correspondent onrush as allegations about the course, you kept on being targeted and you claim denying is how can you please 50, be prioritized in an ongoing conflict like this one us? unfortunately, this is the 1st time that so in nuclear trying to is the bar. so now i'm being charged at the 1st time happens after a few days a fresh, an invasion of ukraine. it for us is that for who's your nuclear fall funds, which is the largest bank in europe? i need to have 6 reactors. unfortunately, this is the 2nd time i think russia is facing the safety that i'm a, i'm pretty good man dr. ukraine phase. after the invasion, i think this is the most dangerous. i can repeat it again,

the most dangerous firefight, which is not feeling good. and when you mentioned the most into this firefight are you would have thing to does that. but reach upon, which is what the i a has a shooting. what a warning about i would say the both the, the case of separation plan is very dire because you had to have major fighters appraise your plan in displaying fuel. the, sorry is the buildings of that. there's a cooling, pause that stores the water and use that for putting dispense to the pool is not draining and that that level is going dog. and also a sex c. c keys has been entrusted many times. this is this i for is you as good director general is yours, c o h work of the it's a p. is that what is your report that this morning is really, is being attacked a game where you're drawing that the hot x proceed on the line that you know, just

a parameter of to apply. that is the separation. i know in the case, of course, there is a lot of reports that ukraine may want to capture data to use that as a bargain. and again, i hope course has a better face then separation. now this operation, applying to themes is in cold shut down, which means that the actively an effect not working. does that mean there's no risk for nuclear disaster at the plant then? so that's the only see the reineke of separation, that the $46.00 reactors there are in, quote shut off, but we still need that a t c t for this spent fuel pool. spence, you of course are under the containment 50. however, my purse and that because 40 is the dry cask area that they keep when the, the, the fuel that somebody gets to a lower temperature,

they move it from just bring fuel to, to destroy cast. a dry cask. storage area is on the side of the containment big. i don't know. unfortunately, if they be attacked by the bun, blog, manage or by miss is doors, dry cask cracks open. then you may have the release of the food you acted. mature you is the risk of separation is it is very high. but the reactors, of course, i think the court shut down by steve. we need some decent, have enough electricity to run the clean power. steering for the for the shut down the actor and the structure awaken so i think then look, situation the for sure, thank you so much for explaining that. so clearly to us new to safety expo nice with the miss scott to, you know, doctors in india, i have called of nationwide strike control to us at the rape and murder of a female training in court. that medical stuff,

the violence against women is widespread. that demanding better security in hospitals that they want a safer working environment. indian doctors are escalating protests into a nationwide strike. you just want to be safe because it is the last days we have to oh, what are you able to see? see? emergency services are still in operation, but the strike has affected thousands of patients below got people come here from far away and they finding it very difficult. there's no one here. the doctors a single beyond striking definitely. and we don't know when that'll reopen the ship . those fellows days of march is in smaller strikes over the rate. and the overtraining doctor whose brutalized body was found at

a teaching hospital in co kinda the woman's father, st. our colleagues in the medical profession and others for their support. i'm not able to give you like my daughter's to them, but millions of sons and daughters. and now with me, this has given me a lot of strength and i feel we will get something the attack. it caused the whole roof, the gang rape and murder of a young woman on a daily bus 12 years ago. the her desk sparked demonstrations across india and prompted the government to introduce harsher punishment for rate, including the death penalty for repeat offenders. the act to the say little has changed to make women feel safer as an ad good. that had been said,

minute generations. i'm on dog. good. how may not be probably goldman not understanding of the big movie that i'm best now that there's hope their voices and their industrial action. we make a difference at the sound of the us presidential election. now however, couple of how does this candidacy turns out? her professional and political drive is, has already broken new ground. how does the spaces highlights of drawing one of the cost out of americans of india, notice and a celebrating india in america. california has one of the largest indian american populations of any state in the country commemorating indian independence day is a chance for the community here to come together in music and down. and so many

here in california in indian american potentially become the next president, is cause for celebration to one of the best that'd be high, highly educated. and then she is really diverse on our promise. everyone is super excited about our tenant. and we're going to go about getting pamela harris and liked it is a personal importance to as a material. and he came to the us nearly 30 years ago from india as a student. today, he's an active fundraiser for democratic campaigns. he says he's known the vice president's and she was a district attorney in california is just the president of the 4.4 beginning. and i'm ready to go to see that we came from india with 2 suitcases and then made a life for us. and i'll say to someone who represent the color of, you know, from the same background and origin to get elected as the next president will. they asked as a matter of pride and joy. and,

and that also brings hopes to millions of kids to agriculture. harris represent someone able to understand the issues affecting his community like the economy and immigration. but campbell of harris is far from the only indian american paper that's presented to political prominence. the nation was recently introduced to shavanne wife of republican vice presidential candidate, judy. then the big room swami and nikki haley have become surrogates for donald trump. after their own republican primary campaigns ended the cars that run the christian in a political scientist studying the 2200000 strong indian american voting base. as indian american identity is a factor, but it's just one among others, most indeed, americans still identify as democrats, where they stand on issues ranging from the environment to gun control. to health care is much closer to come to a harris than it is to people like hailey and robinson. right. and so ultimately that's what is going to matter. of course,

having someone who comes from one's community might make a difference in terms of the amount of energy in the base, but party is still more important than shared race or ethnicity that cuts both ways on the other side of the country. pretty pond you patel of the south asian republican coalition is trying to get the vote out front of g o. p in new jersey, another state with a high indian american population. she organizes round tables of supporters like this one. i don't agree with a lot of her views and a lot of her policies and things. and so of course there is there. is that always going to be that disconnect? one of the biggest things i think is immigration, right? where she was in charge of, you know, making sure the border was protected and she really didn't do a good job at that. as an everyday ask for the indian american community is not a monolith. their motivations and aspirations are new ones. but it's an

increasingly active and growing political force, whether in the halls of power themselves or in the voting, in an election that promises to be tied up force. and that will be off from us, them number such as falls. thank you for watching. the not just another day so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand. this is the day i'm in the smoke. it's karen who use events analyzed by experts and critical thinking is this is with the weekdays on dw i tried several times more than 6 times to come and see more people than ever on the move worldwide. in such an one.
