from berlin. tonight, nothing in the pipeline. russia turns off oil and natural gas headed to germany. it is indeterminate league suspended in the nord stream pipeline, cutting up a link to germany and the rest of eure. also coming, g7 finance ministers agreed toap the price of russian oil, hoping to choke off a major source of funding for the war in ukraine.

will the plan work? and you and safety inspectors are surveying the nuclear power plant in ukraine. their first report on what they have found is due next week. plus, return to middle earth. fans of "the lord of the rings" finally get a glimpse of the new made-for-tv prequel. we will take a look at one of the most expensive series ever made. ♪ brent: i'm brent goff. to our viewers watching on pbs in the u.s. and around the world, welcome. tonight, there is nothing in the pipeline from russia. russia's state owned gas producer announced a complete halt to the flow of natural gas through that he nord stream 1 pipeline to germany. the company saying it has

discovered leaks in a turbine. the route was temporarily closed this week for what they called maintenance work. now russia says more work needs to be done. germany is reliant, still reliant on russian natural gas and accuses moscow of cutting deliveries to retaliate for western economic sanctions. earlier, i spoke to benjamin alvarez in berlin and asked him what more we know about the announcement, basically turning off the taps. benjamin: after the maintenance that was supposed to end today, according to gazprom's energy company, there was a leak meaning it will not be able to keep sending gas through the pipeline, and it can still not say how long this will take. the maintenance is something we have heard over the past weeks and months. it is pretty difficult for them

to say when this alleged oil leak will be resolved and when pressure will again be able to send gas through the pipeline. brent: what kind of reaction, if any, are we hearing tonight from germany or the european union? benjamin: there have been several reactions already. one is germany's economy ministry. they said this shows that russia is not a reliable partner, that it isn't abiding to the contract to send gas from russia to germany. we also had one of the chairs of the german parliament foreign affairs committee saying this is part of russia's psychological war and the european commission also condemning this measure. it shows there was a definite lack of trust between russia and between germany. brent: nord stream flows paul said for three days earlier this week -- halted for three days

earlier this week, are the effects being felt already? benjamin: this takes time. when russia says there will be an amount of gas that it will send to germany, those have called a number that is processed by authorities here. it isn't possible to see how long this will last. what german authorities have said, with the economy ministry has said is that germany is better prepared than it was a few months ago, saying that the reserves of gas that germany now has are at around 83, 80 4%, so that is better prepared than it was a few months ago. it shows that there is no trust at all a few months when there was maintenance by russia, and it says it will send reduced flow to germany with the gas that is not only going to germany but other european countries, as well. it was indeed a brief relief, but if there is no trust, there have been issues over a turbine in canada under the european sanctions, and it was sent to

germany, so there is no trust between them. the economy minister also saying that russia is using energy as a weapon and calling it a political maintenance. that is what he said previously about russia saying that there were problems with the turbine and they could therefore not deliver gas to germany. brent: benjamin, thank you. finance ministers from the g7 group of industrialized nations have large to impose a price cap on russian oil. they want to limit russia's revenues and ability to fund the war in ukraine. here is the german finance minister. translator: the prize cap on russian exports is designed to close a major source of funding for the war of aggression. at the same time, we want to maintain increases in global energy prices, which will minimize inflation globally. brent: we would like to pull in

the assistant professor of finance in berkeley and a cofounder of the pressure group economist for ukraine. it is good to have you back on the show with us this friday. energy sanctions on russia have backfired because they made energy more expensive and boosted income despite lower sales volume. will the price cap liga difference? guest: -- will the price cap make a difference? guest: we should be clear on what backfired. the sanctions today were implemented slow with a lot of deliberation. you and i spoke about the price p for the first time in may and now in september. of course, what we talked out back then, if they are discussing measures like embargoes, implementing them could drive up the price, even before measures gonto effe. that is what we s.

the highest oil prices were in the beginning june around the time the packa started to come down since been. so, economically, these measures make sense then, to make sense now, and it makes sense to implement them quickly. of course, sanctions are not just about economics but politics. the reason that it takes some time to implement is we need to achieve consensus. we need consensus within the eu, and with the price cap, that is a more global issue, so we need some measure of consensus globally. brent: let's stick with economics for a moment. on a global level, is this going to bring down inflation? it is it really clear what the price will be. france has said it cannot implemented until all of the eu states have agreed. guest: exactly, and it goes beyond the eu. let's belear, g7 agreed to implement a price cap on o. it isn't so much aut the

purchases by g7 countries. it is not those countriesay we will pay less for russian oil. some countries already banned russian oil and some a phasing it out within months. so price cap is really about the global push to pay less for russian oil, so they need consensus within the eu to use letters, like shipping, and insurance to use diplomatic means possible to coordinate the price cap were third-party countries, as well. and the level of the price cap depends on our bargaining power of the countries looking to impose the price cap with respect to the rest of the world with mutual third parties and how it compares. brent: i'm sure you are aware of the u.s. treasury secretary janet yellen has said that russia is going to have to sell at the price capped by the west. is that really true?

i'm thinking of the third party states you mentioned. can we quantify what effect this is going to have on russia's ability to finance its war in ukraine? guest: yeah, so i think there is a lot of reason to be optimistic about our ability. to have this price cap be taken up by third parties, well, it is because we have leverage, with shipping compani, insurance companies, secondary sanctions. as an examp, last week, russia offered indonesia a severely discounted long-term contract. a discount of 30%. indonesia did not take that offer, citing fears of being under u.s. secondary sanctions. so i think we definitely have the potential. and after today's announcement, i viewed it as a signal we are reaching that consensus also wither party partners. inhat case, it can definitely have a large effect on russia's finances. brent: we appreciate your time

anand your insights tonight. thank you. anastassia fedyk. guest: thank you. brent: europe's largest nuclear power plant remains with calls for concern in the war in ukraine tonight. they gave a briefing about their inspection of the plant in zaporizhzhia. they say they looked at a number of factors, including the physical integrity of the plant, the ability to supply power, and the safety of the plant's workers. several members of the inspectors team now plan to stay at the russian occupied site long-term. that is despite reports of further fighting in and around zaporizhzhia. in a press conference in vienna today, the head of the un inspection team showed a color-coded breakdown of the different areas of concern. take a look. >> first is the fiscal integrity. what you see here is red.

a big red. why? because we still have been seen military activity around the plant, and i was able to see myself and my team impact homes, markings on buildings, etc. so, it means the physical integrity of the vicinity has been violated. not once, but several times. and this is something, irrespective of the kinetic power of whatever you are throwing up it in any way, under any safety and security agreement. brent: our dw correspondant was at the press conference. i asked her, do we have more clarity now on whether or not this plant is real safe? correspondent: exactly.

on a scale of one to 10, how safe can we say the nuclear power plant is? that number did not come along because they outlined it very clearly, and as you have seen in the pictures with various colors, like a traffic light, from the ad yellow, to green. in terms of looking at the power plant, he said in various pillars, so being the physical integrity as the top priority because this is what is being showed over the course of the past month. that is one thing, but what about the bizarre coexistence between ukrainian staff operating the powerplant and russian forces that are controlling the powerplant? in between all that, they now have a staff remaining at the plant r a couple of days, at least four, and the big question is whether long-term they continue to possibly monitor

what is happening, adding to the question of how independently they can verify and have access to crucial sites within the powerplant to then come back to that first question of how safe is it? that answer, we did not receive, so people who expected an answer are left disapinted. personally, havg been to ukraine quite a few times, one has to remember this is an active war zone. establishing fact in ukraine is difficult to begin with. brent: that was fanny reporting from vienna. let's look at other stories looking headlines. reports from sri lanka state the former president has returned less than two months after fleeing the aisle. he was forced out of office after the course of the economic crisis and there are calls for him to be investigated for

mismanagement and corruption. environmenl protesters enter the u.k. parliament and glued themselves together around the historic speakers chair. you can see it right there. they called for more direct involvement in government decision-making on environmental issues. the group, extinction rebellion, says to expect more protests like this. the u.s. president joe biden has hit out at his predecessor at his speech in philadelphia, warning that donald trump and his supporters represent an extremism that threatens u.s. democracy. he is calling on all americans to reject political violence. tonight, police in argentina arrested the man for allegedly attempting to assassinate the vice president. authorities identified him as a 35-year-old brazilian citizen. the shocking incident was

captured by television crews waiting for the vice president outside of her home in buenos aires. correspondent: this is the moment argentina's vice president narrowly escaped an apparent assassination. [shouting] correspondent: she was greeting supporters when the gunman emerged from the crowd. he was quickly overpowered by her security officers. argentina's president gave more details in television address. translator: cristina remains alive because the gun did not fire even though the trigger had been told. due to the reason that has not yet and technically confirmed. this is extremely serious. it ione of the most serious incidents that has happened since we restored our democracy. correspondent: the gunman has been arrested and his weapon seized. thousands of protesters have been gathering outside the vice president so days in a show of

support as she faces a corruption trial. [singing] correspondent: she stands accused of defrauding the state of $1 million. she was arched -- it was while she was argentina's president. she denied all charges. thallegeattempt on her life shored up support for her. translator: cristina's life. if something happened to her, i would die with her. i cannot believe it. it is really difficult. translator: i'm concerned. rationally, i think there was always this possibility. we will always -- we were exposed. she was exposed. i cannot believe the level of violence.

correspondent: police say the gunman is a brazilian national, but they have yet to establish a motive for the attack. brent: adding to the misery in pakistan, where people are preparing to be inundated yet again by heavy flooding. a wave of water is surging down major rivers from the north of the country. there have been weeks of extraordinary monsoon rains and devastating loads of the country. the humanitarian crisis is expected to get even more drastic. already some 33 million people have been affected, more than 1200 have died. correspondent: this flood better town in the southern province is already preparing for more. shoring up existing defenses and building new ones. with huge areas still submerged, authorities are warning even more water is surging downriver from the north. translator: we have been told that more water is expected to flow this way.

we have been working to make and reinforce this since early morning. we have been told not to leave this town. we will save our town. correspondent: that will be an uphill battle. authorities are trying to evacuate people before the new floodwater is hit. millions of other pakistanis have already fled their homes. now, they are left scrambling for food and shelter, like here in the northern region. aid efforts all across the country have been hampered by the sheer scale of the destruction and extent of the need. translator: we have been displaced by the water for the past 15 days and most everything. until today, we had received nothing. correspondent: with more flooding expected in the south,

and more rain forecasted for september, pakistan could soon be facing an even deeper humanitarian crisis. brent: the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has found itself in global headlines recently, but the city, zaporizhzhia, it has become a place understandably devoid of sports and recreation. its handball players have been without a home court or opposition until their german counterparts reached out to offer a home away from home. correspondent: zaporizhzhia had not played a competitive match since the outbreak of the war in ukraine. they are a little overmatched in the german second division, but just finding a place to compete is a victory in itself. translator: the atmosphere is incredible. for us, this is a great opportunity to play in such an arena and show the world are

ukrainian handball. ♪ correspondent: they are finding a place for these men to stay. translator: they handball office took up the issue quickly and immediately contacted dusseldorf, with whom we have good relations. they gave us feedback within 24 hours that they would love to support this project. correspondent: like other ukrainian refugees, the tea and their families have been housed by the city. and after months of uncertainty, the slice of normality is a gift, even if collective minds drift to those at home. translator: i miss everyone very much, i'm very worried about

each of them. i try to constantly communicate with them via phone and video link. correspondent: for the ukrainian guests, these matches are practice for the european league later this year. in a strictly sporting sense, these points, these games will not count in the german league season, yet, they provided team from zaporizhzhia and their fans a rare moment in time when just playing a game carries more importance than winning or losing. brent: for more on the ukrainian handball team that has found a home in western germany, i'm ined by the manager of hc zaporizhzhia. it is good to have you with a. where the on this journey to germany for you and the team? est: hello, everyone. yes, for sure it was not so

we are used to, but in any case it is comfortable, nice, yeah, the only thing that is that it is a different culture. brent: talk to me about how difficult it is to compete when you know what is happening back in the city of zaporizhzhia. guest: yeah, for sure. we always have a connection with our relatives and friends who live there, and maybe only during the training process we can forget a little bit about the problems that we have with the people there and everything that is happening in our city, but we understand that this is our club, and we need to play

here in order to show all of rope and the world in the country, also our country, that we still exist, and we are fighting for the name. brent: i'm sure you have a lot of people cheering you on, as well. the manager of hc motor zaporizhzhia, thank you. guest: thanks a lot. brent: let's take a brief look at other stories making headlines. in the world of sport, the formula one circus has moved to the netherlands this weekend. max won the belgian grand prix last weekend and looks to be the card to beat sunday. the dutchman has the chance to further stretches lead in the championship in front of his home fans. serena williams takes the next step in what many tennis fans hope can be a fairytale ending to her career at the u.s. open in a few hours time.

>> hello and welcome to france 24, live from paris. the russian energy giant says it won't be resuming gas deliveries while the nord stream 1 pipeline agrees to close the price cap on oil exports from moscow. the latest reaction. the head of the you and nuclear watchdog set to assure the safety of the nuclear power plant early next week. and britain's next prime minister is said to be named on

monday, closing earlier on friday. the russian energy giant won't be resuming delivery of the nord stream 1 pipeline, being halted for three days this week. delivery set to resume on saturday but the company says it can no longer provide a timeframe after finding an oil leak which is affecting one of its turbans. finance ministers have agreed to impose a price cap on russian oil to limit revenue moscow earns as it continu its invasion of the ukraine. it will stop selling oil to price cap.

here is what the white house press secretary had to say. >> it will help us accomplish two goals, to reduce putin's biggest source of revenue. to ensure oil continues to flow into the market at lower prices as supply needs demand. the impact of efforts is already bearing fruit. russia is offering steep discounts as much as 30%. >> we now go to daniel hawkins standing by and moscow. do we know how long this technical problem is said to last? >> there's very little certainty if this is a technical problem. we can take information by dmitry medvedev who posted the

time has come for the eu to impose a price cap. there will be no russian gas in europe. that same contrast is a statement that said that it was purely a technical wonder and providing as we said no timeline . gas cutoffs are nothing new. the gas flowing to the nord stream 1 pipeline is about 20% capacity from the start of the year and that comes amid disputes and germany has delayed maintenance and put a stop to these gas supplies. the suspend saying it had not

received full payments, a company saying this was the result of a disagreement between two companies. but isolation regarding that price cap, the coincidence comes after that announcement and there would be discussions on limiting the price of russian oil. >> let's talk about the g7 finance minister statement. moscow is already warning that this is not going to work >> a whiter issue than some technicalities they need to keep russian oil and global markets while reducing moscow's profits and reducing inflation. but looking at the bigger picture, just taking the eu, it

still consumes around 2 million barrels of oil a day. the eu hopes to wean itself off. and whether this price gap is -- cap is going to work, they need a unanimous decision and in europe, this will have to be approved by all members. this is going to rely on enforcement, setting a price for the cap as well. they will need to be sure that they can comply with these sanctions and u.s. officials have said a confident russia would keep supply but there is a danger here and a lack of unanimity, and some officials in the u.s. have estimated prices

could rise as a few hundred dollars of darrell -- per barrel if millions are taken off the market. they have not been ambiguous and said they would not send oil to countries that imposed a price cap. the countries it is supplying to her what the kremlin views as friendly countries or neutral countries. not countries it views as enemies or hostile. >> speaking of an oil price cap, another thing that the eu commission president has suggested today is she wants to see a price cap set for russian gas. is that something that could potentially happen? >> that is looking fairly distant at the moment, even further away than the oil price cap.

the main factor, the predominant one is are they willing to find alternatives? this is a game to see who blinks first. but obviously to bluff you have to have a strong hand. some experts have said pressure can go for as long as one year without supplying gas to europe, finding alternative markets and still be in the green. whether eu can find alternative imports for a year is very much in question. some countries like germany are topping out and so far, they are not doing too badly. the pipeline is on the verge of being totally shut down. the total russian gas imports,

very reliant on this russian gas. europe is coping. if there is a total shut off, some experts are saying that this could lead to massive problems. losing gas supplies and alternatives, it could been -- it could be 15 to 40%. other countries are going to be much more cautious of improvement -- implementing any sort of price gouge because they will be feeling the pinch as opposed to central or western european countries. really for now,'s -- it is political certainty about how they will move and if it will work. >> we will have to leave it there and thank you very much for the date.

the head of the un's nuclear watchdog is back in vienna after visiting the nuclear power station. raphael will be issuing a report on the safety of the plant which is occupied by russia and operated by ukrainian personnel. six staff members will be at the site and that number will be reduced to two next week. >> i was able to see myself and my team, the impact on buildings . so that means that the physical integrity of the facility has been violated not once, but several times. this is irrespective of the kinetic power anyway under any

safety and security. >> britain's prime minister is set to be named on monday. the polls close earlier today. the former secretary are both running to replace oris johnson. here is benedict reporting from london. >> the die is cast. the former minister of finance or the current former secretary will become the next conservative leader as conservatives have the most seats in the house of commons. we will know of those two who has become the next leader and prime minister at lunchtime on monday. and it will be only on tsday

that boris johnson will go where the queen is residing in breaking with tradition. therefore, he will submit his resignation. that will slightly delay things. but then lose trust or richie soon i will have an audience with the wean and she will ask him or her to form a government and that will be around lunchtime on tuesday. so of course, who will be elected defense secretary. who will be the next home secretary, foreign secretary. and who will be the next minister of finances, that is really the practical thing people are saying. criticizing the six week hiatus. many people have criticized

boris johnson of being a zombie government and 0.3% are deciding who will become the next tory leader and a factor prime minister and not the parliamentary party which had decided to put richie soon can first place. but it will be the third female prime minister we get on tuesday if the polls are right. >> authorities in argentina investigating if a brazilian citizen hooked up to to assassinate the vice president was a lone gunman or part of a wider organization. while the gun was fully loaded, the pistol jammed. the national holiday was declared in light of the assassination attempt, facing trial for corruption >> the worst could have happened to

her. thank goodness the bullet did not come out because the consequences could have been much worse. >> i am shocked because she is a very respectable woman and does not deserve what they are doing to her. >> it is madness. i think society has already lost its way. the message of hatred is becoming increasingly ingrained in those weak minded people that opt for such an unhinged thing such as an attack. leave aside whoever it is. it's against a human being. >> he has been sentenced to three years in jail with hard labor. this friday, she was judged to have committed fraud in the last election in 2020. the 70-year-old has been sentenced to 17 years in jail.

she has been given due process, they say. sri lanka's former president has returned to the country. he fled the island nation after tens of thousands of protesters stormed his residence and office. he has been out of sri lanka for several weeks. the former president currently has a warrant against him and sri lanka. after canceling a planned launch , nasa's moon rocket is set to make a second attempt to launch tomorrow. space agency's chief is more confident given everything engineers have learned from the first trial. the artemis test flight is the first step sending astronauts around the rune and landing them on the moon surface in 2025.

i will bring in the minister of international relations and the head of the european space agency's history project. in layman's terms, explain what went wrong this last monday? >> the first thing to know is that it is a new rocket. even if it is the twin of apollo, artemis is a new concept. and a brand-new launcher. it is normal for a new launcher, nasa is making sure that everything is working properly. we have to make sure that there is not damage to the launcher. we accumulated a problem with

the material, with the lights. we also had a small technical problems with sensors on the third engine. and since the launch window was rather narrow, it was certainly more secure to postpone. >> is five days enough for engineers to get on top of these problems? is five days sufficient for engineers to iron out all of these problems? >> yeah. it seems that everything is secured. and regarding the sensors, they found a way to have the proper indication of the right temperature. >> why does landing astronauts on the surface of the moon need to happen in re-parts?

we have done this before in 1972. why will this test flight not have any astronauts on board and then in 2024 we have a test flight that will send astronauts around the moon and then 2025, land them? why three parts? >> because this time we are going to stay. we are going to the moon with a new concept and we want to stay. it is a change in paradigm because we going from earth to the moon and space and this time we want to go from one place and space to another place in space. this seems easier. and in particular, we want to have a gateway close to the

moon. we want to be close to the moon station and back. from the and from this station and from the moon, we want to go further in the universe. we want to go to mars later. want to go to asteroids and comets. this is a brand-new concept. >> what do we want to learn and take away from these missions to the moon? it seems like a lot of money given the world is currently grappling with the effects of climate change. what are we going to benefit from this artemis mission? >> first of all, it's not wasted money. it's money that is going into the development of technology. it is money that is going to researchers to make discoveries

that will help earth. where making technology for progress. we will probably try to use the resources of the moon, for example, to do procurement. and as i mentioned, we want to move to other places. and plus, we are doing a lot of research on human bodies. this research is very useful on earth as well. for example, we are working on this test flight and we will have a manikin with equipment against radiation. this is useful for research.

>> fascinating stuff. it we will need to leave it there. a photojournalist covering russia's invasion of the ukraine were the forced to witness the horrors of war. currently on display in the south of france. take a look. >> the photojournalist festival showcasing t work of reporters covering the war in ukraine. one shn the body of someone killed it just 18 months of age. in the bloody face of a pregnant woman, capturing the moment russian forces bombed a maternity hospital. the photos that became a symbol of the conflict were the only journalists covering the war crimes in ukraine. work that could've cost them

their lives. >> when they were published, they know our faces and they know our names. so through 15 russian checkpoints, to get out from riupol. it was stressful. it takes all day. a 150 kilometers. >> the work of a new york times reporter is also on show, the first to photograph the bodies tortured and abandoned in ukraine. his reporting was challenged and manipulated by russian propaganda. >> is the power that photographs have. it will all go to great extent to discredit information. >> it was dedicated to promoting

the work of photojournalist worldwide and continues till the 11th of september. >> time for the business news. >> we start with a u.s. labor market. the latest surveys showing less solid growth, and a slight increase in the unemployment rate. jobs increased by 315 thousand in august compared to 526,000 in july. that was more than what was expected by analysts. the unemployment rate rose to three point 7% compared to 3.5% in july this slight increase in the unemployment rate healing hopes this could help end the fight against inflation, easing pressure on the federal reserve to continue raising the benchmark interest rate which many believe could tip the economy into recession. more than 700,000 people entered

the labor market this month. mark hamrick explains that this will help fill the 11 million job openings in the country and will do anything to reduce inflationary pressure. >> may be the job market will continue to cool, but it is still red-hot from the federal reserve perspective given the imbalance between the jobs that are open and the number of jobs able to fill those positions. >> let's see the impact of news on the market starting on wall street that fears of another rate hike by the federal reserve have not been sufficiently soothed by the slight loosening of the job market. we see all indicators in the red at the close. the third weekly decline in a row for u.s. equities. on the back of that jobs report,

european forces closed before they could come tumbling down again this friday. closing over 2% and not enough to make up for the losses of the past six sessions. the energy crisis at the forefront of the french government's mind after a national defense counsel dedicated to the issue said russian gas deliveries were at their lowest level and that france had achieved 92% of the supply for the winter. france's national utility will also restart 32 nuclear reactors. a big part of the efft will be one of frugality, meanin cuts in gas and electricity consumption. >> the success of the plan to reduce consumption will require everyone to work together.

the state will do his part and set the example. if the question of a collective, proportionate, and reasonable effort. it means paying attention to a waste of lighting and heating. these measures are essential so we don't have to put in place something more restrictive. >> french companies really feeling the pain from these rising energy prices, particularly in the glass sector. they are set to put their furnace on standby for at least four months from november to save energy and preserve their finances. >> these famous french glasses will soon be discontinued. the production will stop for four months and the companies 200 50 employees placed on

temporary unemployment. it's a shock even if they try to stay optimistic. >> [speaking french] >> [speaking french] >> soaring energy prices are to blame. unable to cope with the price is necessary for the manufacturing process. this is without a halt in production and would've reached 50%. for company bosses, there's no alternative solution. >> speaking foreign language --

[speaking foreign language] >> here the company is a major boon for the local economy. >> they will continue to supply customers thanks to pre-planned stoppage. employees will find out what consequences the stoppage will have on their salary on a meeting on the 14th of september. >> twitter is testing an edit button. the future will be rolled out on the comingeeks to the paying subscribers of twitter blue only available in the u.s., canada, australia, and new zealand. tweets will be available in the 30 minutes after posting. i always copy paste from notes to avoid spelling mistakes.
