berlin. another attack on europe's busiest nuclear power plant. so i, we will ask a nuclear scientist if this could be another chernobyl disaster in the making. he said there was enough

evidence to justify the search. and a tense way for the result of kenya's presidential vote. and hope for afghanistan's sick and wounded children. i am brent goff. to our viewers watching us on pbs in the united states and to all of you around the world, welcome. ukraine says it europe's biggest nuclear power station has once again come under artillery attack.

the u.n. is warning of a potential nuclear disaster. chuck castro worked on the aftermath of the nuclear accident in japan. >> the threat grows with each attack. whether it is intentional or unintentional. >> the rest of europe, i know they're worried in ukraine. should the restopbe preparing for a worst-case scenario? as i understand it, this facility is not built to withstand the constant shelling

that has been seen recently. >> that is great. it is not resume shelling by utility. we typically plan for a disaster an event somewhere between 16 and 80 km. as we saw with fukushima -- the fukushima disaster. >> what needs to happen inside the facility to prevent any kind of dangerous incident from happening? >> i worry about operators operating under very stressful situations.

i would even suggest that they shut down the reactors. >> i want to ask you about the greater nuclear threat. we are talking about a nuclear power plant that is part of a battlefield. we have some countries in europe to make up for the loss of russian energy.

>> as with any nuclear event, we were just distracting the robuness of the facilities. we will study that and look for ways to make facilities more robust in the future. >> let's take a look at some of the other stories related to the way in ukraine. western allies have pledged more than 1.5 billion euros in aid for ukraine. this includes weapons and training for ukrainian troops. this is a clear demonstration of european unity.

hundreds of people have protested in the bulgarian capitaof sofia against government plans to restart talks with the russian energy -- russian energy giant. supplies were cut of when supplies refuse to pay for gas in russian rubles. german chancellor olaf scholz is promising more help for people here who are struggling with inflation with skyhigh energy bills. he is promising measures of tax. schultz says germany will tackle prices with european union. he is also pushing for a new pipeline through portugal, spain and france to diversify european supplies. they were asked whether germany could face social unrest over rising living costs. >> i do not believe there will be unrest in this country. that is because germany is a welfare state and this welfare state must be effective in the

situation. you will not walk alone into the future. >> our correspondent told me earlier that the german chancellor is being careful not to focus on the possibility of unrest as prices begin to rise. >> chancellor schultz wants to put forward a reassuring stance and a reassuring phase. and does not really want to stoke any unrest himself by raising the issue too much. on the other hand, it seems like he is confident that the measures his government has put forward to try to believe the burden on households will have an effect. even as we look at the reason

coronavirus pandemic, people here in germany have to go through a lot of restrictions, also, economic issues, you did see protests, you did see an increase in social dissatisfaction. it all remained more or less under control. that is maybe what schultz expects going forward. >> they heat their homes with russian natural gas. people have received warnings from their landlords warning that there energy bills could be three to four times more than they were last year. when you take that and edit to inflation at the grocery store, what is the german government doing to put a puffer zone between the realities of prices and peoples' pocketbooks? >> until now, the government has approved to relieve packages and today, schultz announced that a

third one is in the making. the measures that are tackled. we also saw some tax waivers for the press with petrol. the government tried to help families allowing for families with children or families that are particularly disadvantaged. there is also a measure that was announced by the finance ministry to try to put forward tax relief by increasing the tax free allowances on income. >> we really only know when the winter has arrived. julia reporting tonight. thank you.

the u.s. attorney general has broken his silence on that fbi raid on donald trump's florida home. merrick garland has justify the raid. -- testified the writ -- justified the raid. >> where possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search and to never the scope any search that is undertaken -- narrowly scope any search that is undertak en. i will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly

attacked. >> we want to remind people that the attorney general usually does not comment publicly on any ongoing investigation. what we saw today was unusual. remind us about what this stand up between donald trump and the fbi is about and tell us what we learned from the attorney general today. >> let me start by reminding our international audience what an unprecedented drama we are experiencing here right now in the united states. a former president investigated possibly for a federal crime. the attorney general confirmed that the fbi had a search warrant to seize items from former president's trump -- former president trump's home in

florida. he signed that word and tribes lawyers were informed of the search. because it is an active investigation, he did not get any further information on what they were looking for and they did not take any questions. which many republicans will definitely hold against him. >> we have been talking about this all week. there has been a lot of violent rhetoric coming from some trump supporters in the wake of this search. there have been calls for the attorney general to be assassinated. how seriously is not being taken by authorities? >> >> this is why the attorney general address to the nation this afternoon, affirming his commitment to the fbi officers who are being targeted by trump loyalists on the right. members of congress and the right-wing media have even been attacking merrick garland

publicly. there is no doubt that the institution and its employees are under attack, not only politically but also physically. >> these are unprecedented times , enis. it can you, the veteran opposition leader and the deputy president, william ruto neck in neck in the race to become the next president. if neither wins more than half of that as well, there will be a runoff. the community in western kenya, it is one of the strongholds. as our correspondent reports tonight, memories of the violence are still vivid.

>> out and about on behalf of peace, one day ahead of kenya's general election, they talk to neighbors and asked if they feel safe. >> whatever the outcome, i am ready to make myself safe. >> this into that unfolded in 20 set -- 2007 still make everyone nervous here. dozens of people including children were burned alive in a church. >> it was bad. some people were injured. they still have injuries enough today. you can still see the fear they have. >> this is the stronghold of william ruto, vice president of canada -- kenya.

this is a possible hotspot for violence and they have brought in hundreds of security forces. leafletsith hate speech have been circulating. they read the vote for ruto. at the other end of the city, ballot papers are checked and sorted. heavily armed police officers secured the side. the kenyan electoral authority has to deler this time after the election last -- five years ago had to be repeated due to serious errors. >> there waiting for the critical results. -- they are waiting for the critical results. >> william ruto is the first to cast his ballot in a village near here. he prays for peace. but peace does not hold everywhere.

on election day, these pictures made the rounds. a freshly elected member of county assembly is volved in a violent dispute. he accuses his political rival. >> whoever is not in a strong party bestia will automatically lose. >> one of the attackers -- based here will automatically lose. >> back at the police station, 5:00 p.m. sharp. >> the polling station has been closed. >> tapped account and now, days later, -- time to count and now, days later, people are eagerly waiting the result. >> dozens have been killed in

awful ride just last week -- fell off of a ride just last week. the country health care system in taliban is -- in afghanistan is in bad shape. >> the peoe here are all hoping to get medical help in germany. hundreds of parents have come to the afghan capital, kabul with seriously ill children. both of his hands were torn off in a bomb attack. he is almost blind in his left eye. the aid organization will bring him to germany for further treatment. >> i visited other hospitals but i did not recover. that is why i am here. i need help with my hands. >> an employee has been flying

to afghanistan for years. she and her team have to make life and death decisions. which of the children are brought to germany for further treatment? >> it is quicker to say you can come with us or come with us next time without knowing if the children will still be alive in six months. >> this time, more children showed up than ever before. 2200 families in total. the situation in afghanistan is disastrous. the economy has collapsed, many people are starving. doctors have left the country. so have many aid organizations. >> meanwhile, the children are coming to us again without bandages. they can't get painkillers. we have seen severely injured children that are being treated

in intensive care units in germany without painkillers or bandages, just lying at home. >> a few months later, we meet abdul at the compound. he lives here with other seriously injured children. an emergency community. today, he has to have his wounds checked. soon, the doctors want to operate on his forearm so he can use it like a pincer. >> i am not scared of the operation. i am happy they are operating on me. i am not scared at all. >> until then, he spends his spare time with his new friends. they help him through the pain and trauma of his sickness. he does not know when he will be able to return home.

if the taliban faced international pressure and losing foreign aid, that they would keep their promise. but they are breaking their promise, or they? >> it is not -- arming today? >> -- but they are breaking their promise, aren't they? >> they don't el obligated to follow that. the second thing is like it or not, ty are still getting it. international organizations still give them security. anyone who pays them or hires their people. it is normal people who suffer. in all honesty, they don't care. they still get to travel in private jets and they go to europe to talk about politics. they still live in qatar. it is the people who suffer. >> what are you able to do to

help girls and young women and how easy is it for you to offer help? >> there is not a lot to do. we have been doing this for more than 400 euros right now. we make sure that we work with hospitals. that is what other people are doing two. at the same time, the problem is how you ensure your teachers are not targeted and your students are not targeted. every passing day is a new challenge for us. a new exoneration. a new test. every day we have to worry about

if the teachers survived today and the girls got back home safely. it is a challenge. >> i know that taliban have been in power again for a year now. you have the presence of nato troops in the country for two decades. i am sure that had to have some influence on the way afghan men think. is there any noticeable voice from afghan men in support of their daughters? dear sisters -- their daughters and sisters getting an education? >> the problem is not afghan men and their mentality. they always wanted their daughters in school. if you look at the 1960's, we had a public minister. the same goes for education ministry. we had a woman education minister. the problem is that people are scared to talk.

the fire here so we saw flames just outside of our house. we can say a big thank you to the firefighters. >> the fire now focused around towns originally sparked in july but continued to smolder after it was contained and flared again two days ago. >> the fire destroyed 600 hectors last night. that is a total of 6800 hectors. >> visiting the area along with the interior minister on thursday, the french fry minister promised more equipment to fight the flames. >> we have never mobilized so many resources and we will continue to reinforce them to when the president came here in july, we had two water bombing helicopters. we had nine today and we will have the 11 by the end of the week. >> countries across europe have sent reinforcements to help extinguish the blaze. that includes two tanker planes from greece, two swedish water bombers as well as firefighters

from poland, germany, austria and romania. france has seen more than 57,000 hectors destroyed by wildfires. >> france is not alone. there are soaring temperatures in raging wildfires across western europe. >> at the end of this dusty track in southwest england, there is scant sign of any moisture. this is where the river thames usually emerges from the ground but the greatest year in decades -- the driest year and a has shifted the source several miles downstream. the drought is a symptom of an extreme heat wave engulfing the u.k. and much of the european continent. parts of england and wales were placed under an extreme heat warning with temperatures poised to soar up to 35 degrees celsius. >> 10 years ago the maximum we would hit was 26. even i found that unbearable and now it is in the 30's. it is way too much for me. >> in thipolishrovince, the

drought has left the river depleted and banks disposed. tons of dead fish have been collected to it has been described as an ecological disaster. >> it takes at least 10 years for the entire fish fauna to be built. is a disaster that we will feel for a long time. >> the extreme temperatures and dry conditions are aggravating wildfires across the continent. blazes in northwestern spain have already burned more than than 22,000 hectors since the beginning of summer. as the spanish air force works around the clock to tame wildfires -- to tame five wildfires in the region. similar scenes in portugal were more than 10,000 hectors have gone up in smoke. the equivalent of 10% of the national heritage site. thousands across europe have been impacted the fires, heat

waves and floods in recent weeks. harrowing consequences of climate change which experts say is only expected to get more frequent and intense overtime. >> next to kenya where they are counting votes in the nation's crucial presidential election. the. vote happened. on tuesday and appears to be a very close race the two main candidates facing off to replace the president are the vice president and the opposition leader. the election is being closely watched and is seen as a test for democracy in the east african nation. our correspondent in kenya. >> as of now, the results show both candidates -- the main candidates are going tonight making this look like the most highly contested presidential election in the country's history because the margin which they are leaving between each

other is very little. this is causing a lot of anxiety across the country because both parties have started to claim although they are not celebrating yet. they have already set up plans and pick locations where they are going to do their victory announcement and do their victory speeches. he has chosen the canyon they have been tweeting and say they have already won this. >> now to sierra leone where thousands of people have been killed in antigovernment protests. the capital of freetown is under a curfew after scores of people took to the streets on wednesday. 21 civilians were killed along with six police officers.

th is the kind of narrative that we can expect to emerge here at this security council meeting should the reason i mention china is it is aligned with pressure on many issues including ukraine and china holds the rotating presidency of the u.n. security council. the u.n. as an organization is not blaming russia for what is happening at the nuclear power plant. u.n. is taking into account the mutual accusations of russia and ukraine that are accusing each other of shelling the area. that sort of neutrality in a sense is reflected in u.n. statements. in this tweet from the u.n. in geneva i would like to play you where it says i am gravely

concerned about the unfolding situation in and around the nuclear power plant. i am calling on the military forces of russia and ukraine to immediately cease all military activities in the vicinity of the plant. no d doubt key have would -- no doubt key have would call the statement false equivalence but it might actually serve russia diplomatically in this context. >> now to beirut where a standoff between police and an armed man has ended peacefully. the suspect went into a bank and took hostages apparently angry he could not withdraw money from his account to pay his father's medical bills. >> this is the moment the man gave himself up to police after an eight hour standoff. armed with a shotgun, he entered

this bank in central beirut taking several hostages and according to his brother, the assailant was set on getting what he wanted. >> he said to himself either give me my money or i die. there is no other solution. >> what he wanted was to withdraw $2000 out of the 210,000 he had in his bank account to pay for his father's treatment in hospital but the bank would not let him. >> he was forced to do that. he is not being a hero. he has been trying to feed his children and he wanted to pay for his father's treatment. what should he have done? all of his life savings in bank that locked away his money. have put strict limits onanks withdrawals of foreign currency trapping the savings of millions of people. all this because of the dire financial situation in the country which is suffering the worst economic crisis in its history. the national currency has lost

more than 90% of its value and 80% of the lebanese population are living in poverty. >> the president of greece has called for an investigation into the tapping of a political leaders own by the nation's intelligence service. the scandal broke last week amid growing concern in the you about the use of spyware. our team in greece has this report. >> sent tremors tough the greek political ass. this investigative journalist brought to light the telephone tapping case carried out by the secret service is against two journalists and the leader of the socialist party when he was a member of the european parliament. >> i was worried to be trapped and that is why as early as last april when i started publishing i went to london to have my phe scanned. there was notng. we started an investigation december 21. after seeing the facebook report we noticed 42,000 links used to

be listened by the predator spyware. we spoke to facebook and understood the magnitude of the problem. the problem was bigger than following a simple journalist. this is the leader of the third party in the country. >> faced with the outcry caused by these revelations, the head of the intelligence services was forced to resign as well as a nephew and right-hand man of the prime minister to whom the secret service is report. >> it should not have happened and it shattered citizens trust in the national security forces. >> in a message to the prime ministerssurede knew nothing about the affair and promised major changes in the secret services but the scandal continues torow. the opposition has demanded the government resign with immediate effect. parliament will reopen
