ah mm ah, a nuclear power plant comes on to a fresh round of ukrainian shedding, according to local officials with the attack following a previous strike that left hundreds of thousands of people without electricity, with shorter showers and colder offices at the latest solution to the snowballing energy prices, european leaders, they scramble to fill up their gas bolts, the head of a winter with less phil from russia, due to the use sanctioning a un peacekeepers that failed at their job in the democratic republic of
12:01 pm
congo. according to a top official from the african countries speaking to you and the peacekeepers have been deployed in our country as question nice for more than 20 years. we did not understand the meaning of all this because the task of protecting the population that was before the peacekeepers were never fulfilled with . welcome to you. this is ality international with the latest world news update. it's good to have you with this out of the occurring in the military has once again opened fire at these apple g a nuclear power plants that's according to local russian. back to officials who say the shelling has hit an area used to store radioactive waste. authorities have not reported any increase in radiation levels at the site so far. artes ramon cancer or customer call. this approach in nuclear power plant is under constant bombardment by the ukraine military. we just heard
12:02 pm
this friday that at least 4 shells that landed and the zip erosion nuclear power plant in an area than houses as storage unit for the radio. radioactive isotopes. however, the local authorities are reporting that at this moment, there is no nuclear threat. and there is no threat of a radioactive league. now, like i said, as upper ocean nuclear power plant, one of the, well, the biggest nuclear power plants in europe has been under constant bombardment recently. and we've been getting quite a lot of conflicting information from the ukranian authorities regarding a power cuts from his approach nuclear power plant. now initially, ukrainian authorities as stated that the power supply from a there was completely cut off for all of the crating customers that now we're
12:03 pm
getting reports that sir old ukrainians are indeed getting electricity from us upper rogia. now the plant itself is under control of the russian armed forces at the moment. but like i said, it's constantly being shelled by ukraine nationalists. and so those forces are located just across the river from this nuclear power plant. now, according to a local authorities in the most recent instance key, if used incendiary ammunition in order to target the plant and that caused a forest fire near by. and that in turn, caused a power surge sure, which resulted in a cut off of electricity for hundreds of thousands of people in the ukraine. now, the fire was indeed promptly extinguished by the russian forces. and the
12:04 pm
power was resumed. alice here from the local authorities to raffle from the vicinity of philip. there were full foul eyes which went across the river to ukrainian control till $3.00 and $3.00 of those power lines were destroyed when our engineers tried to fix them, there were shelled. of course we will not risk her. people like that. again. the city of rosier, which is under ukrainian control heavily depends on this energy source. this, it is industry households. everything is linked to this upper rogia power plant. plus the households in the city have been cut off from the central heating system, which increases electricity consumption, and it makes the ukrainian side impulse is electricity from 3rd parties. now, ukrainian authority, sir said earlier that says upper roger nuclear power plant has completely stopped functioning. however, that was a very unlikely because a nuclear power plant just can be simply stopped. ah, and so started,
12:05 pm
it's now clear that sir gary cards were only temporary, and electricity supply has now been resumed. now all that's happening despite the fact that some of this energy source is constantly bombarded by artillery attacks by the ukranian nationalists now are russian officials they're calling for . busy a ceasefire in this area, calling for seas for against the nuclear power plant. and they are expecting experts from the un nuclear watchdog to visit very soon and to make their own conclusions. because some insight from the soviet union unions, former radiation safety chief anatomy cause net soft, who says that even a single direct hit on the station itself could result in an international disaster . no subarus cuz there are 6 power units operating at the nuclear power station with a $100.00 megawatt pressurized water reactor. if
12:06 pm
a missile gets into the pressure shell and what is a pressure show, it is a structure in which the main equipment of the react upon is located with a diameter of about 45 to 47 meters up to 70 meters high such a barrel. the thickness of concrete varies in different parts from 800 millimeters to 1200 millimeters. it is necessary to understand where the rock it will hit exactly the rock. it has a certain weight, speed and explosive, which leads to the destruction of certain structures. no one has ever calculated what can happen to a pressure shell if you hit it with a missile. no one could have thought of such a thing. only the effects of gail 4th winds or the fall of a light engine aircraft, or calculated in these situations. the pressure will be able to protect the reactor equipment, the reactor itself, and it systems that are inside. in addition to 6 reactors, the most dangerous facility at the power plant is the storage of spent nuclear fuel . it was unclear to me why this repository was launched in 2001, why wasn't a roof installed?
12:07 pm
that would cover the entire site of the storage facility with containers in which spent nuclear feel restored the gigantic radioactivity that is in each container. and $300.00 containers should be stored. there is currently one 3rd full. they stand close enough to each other. and if multiple rocket launchers fall into the container, then the container will collapse. actually, a group of containers will be damaged. it will lead to a release of radioactivity into the environment. that is pollution, not only of the industrial site, but also of the geneva plus everything will be accompanied by a fire. and only god knows where the wind will send that. according to my calculations, if $20.00 to $30.00 containers are destroyed, the radio activity will affect about 9 countries among which are turkey, bulgaria, romania, slovakia, the czech republic, poland, and the baltic countries and the territory western ukraine could prevent the cold showers lower indoor temperatures and dark shop,
12:08 pm
windows and streets. this is what the lead is preparing best citizens for you to be unfolding energy crisis. european government for taking drastic measures to flash electricity consumption, which could significantly affect hundreds of millions of people. now germans will have to sit in cold offices and will pass the unlit buildings on monument for the evenings, or the fins will have to reduce the time they shower and use digital devices passes . electricity prices are rising significantly as household to the u. k. will pay 3 times more for he think than before. it's all washes fault that's according to german chancellor laughs. old saying most carries to blame for all the sanctions against itself, as well as the resulting energy crisis in europe. the politician also held russia lead. if let me put into play, god was everywhere. people talk, i'm reports how insane. he says that we had trade for decades. that there was economic exchange as to what a mistake was. i don't think it was
12:09 pm
a mistake. mark is putin who made a mistake when, instead of putting the interests of his own country 1st, he will satisfy his own imperial megalomania at the expense of the russian citizens who will suffer the most can the end. so the german chancellor, whose country is facing de industrialization, power rationing and black out dangers from self imposed sanctions, is now accusing russian president vladimir putin of not looking after russians. citizens. pretty sure the lights are still on in moscow and that moscow isn't forcing austerity on its own citizens, unlike french president emanuel mac hall, who suggested that's coming down the pipe when he evoke the quote end of abundance earlier this week, sounds like schultz could use one of those self help courses that teach you to take responsibility and ownership for your own problems rather than trying to project blame for your own choices and actions on to someone else. putin did not sanctioned germany or the you, you can't control what anyone else does,
12:10 pm
but you sure can control your own reaction to it. and the sanctions where the choice of the you and it's member states just went along with it. as for schultz accusing putin of imperial ambitions, well, what about the european union's imperialism? that imposed sanctions on these own member states by demanding the adoption of these economically and socially suicidal sanctions. now, the unelected bureaucrats in brussels came up with these sanctions, and the member states were just expected to apply them on their own citizens without any democratic consultation. now, how is that not imperialism? i special saying that protein quote, made a mistake. then why are germans in europeans, the ones who are paying the price right now? russia as pure wetted away from the west towards the global south in asia, while european leaders are going door to door all around the world. asking hey, got a gas for us. by the way, the gas is right in front of schultz is face as
12:11 pm
a german deputy and member of the parliamentary committee on energy and climate protection has just pointed out. even if the gas storage facilities are full, there will be enough for about 3 months this winter. and then what ideology has to give way to a real fact oriented policy. the only sensible solution is to launch nord stream, to remember who 1st sanctioned nordstrom to well before the ukraine conflict. if schultz is desperate to find a scapegoat for the fact that governments from spain to finland are now barging into the private sphere to control room and water temperatures and reading their hands over potential unrest and power blackouts. perhaps he should start with those who successfully convinced the you to jump off that sanctions cliff. and that's not russia. that's washington. a san for can country civically to send troops to the democratic republic of the congo after request to help stem violence in the
12:12 pm
countries east. as off the un peacekeeping mission known as monasco, left one of his spaces in the trouble region of the losing public support authorities now demanding a complete withdrawal from the country. we would like the contingents of the united nations organisation stabilization mission in the democratic republic of congo, to withdraw from any territory as well as from lubo territory. and why not, from north q. as we have indicated in the 4 civil society, coordinations of the north, the when moved is peacekeepers when we space in the eastern town of attend by following violent protests there broke out last month during which the bodies basis were attached. dozens of being killed among them, united nation soldiers, civilians, and congress police demonstrations highlight public frustration with the mission which has been present to the democratic republic of congo for a decade. with the aim of bringing stability to the conflict. one country they all
12:13 pm
see the east has been plagues by fighting between an estimated 120 armed groups for decades. more than 5600000 people have been displaced in the d. r. c. on many killed due to the violence head of international affairs for the people with party for we construction on democracy, mateo p. o co moving gay august. the un mission is failed to mitigate the crisis. gusto blue because you know, un peacekeepers have been deployed in our country, especially in these for more than 20 years. the results of the population expected, however, have not been achieved. has roads continue? what have i foreign army or by terrorists in the east civilians were killed and the un mission made the concessions. as a result, people got tired of it. the population was fed up. we did not understand the meaning of all this because the task of protecting the population that was served before the peacekeepers were never fulfilled. we found ourselves face to face with warring parties who are busy steaming minerals, not protecting the population. we're not saying that no foreign forces armies in
12:14 pm
our welcome in our country. we say that there are certain armies or certain foreign aid, primarily military, that could help us. with their help, we will be able to understand how we can turn the tide and return peace to our land . saudi arabia has announced that it will invest $1000000000.00 in cash strapped pakistan where the economy is on the brink of collapse. saudi arabia's foreign minister and his pakistani counterpart discuss ways to enhance the strong, bilateral relations between their 2 countries. during a phone call. pakistan has urged the international community to help it overcome the deepening economic crisis. the country's national state bank also announced a $2000000000.00 financial package from tasa and a $1000000000.00 investment from the united arab emirates. this comes with pakistan is struggling with the devastating aftermath of deadly floods. aunt has asked for international humanitarian aid pakistani authorities
12:15 pm
a more than 30000000 people have been affected by monsoon rains and flooding with at least 900 killed. about 3000 kilometers of roads and a $129.00. bridges have also been damaged across the country, leading to a critical lack of access to victims in the most heavily affected areas. less cost you are safe, dirani pakistan's, former ambassador to the u. e, and a wrong me, thanks for joining us on. the program is good to have you. i'd like to know was your assessment of pakistan's capability to cope with the crisis on its own? yeah, i think it by son has been a zillion and the people themselves now getting together. and this is not the 1st time we had to us taking our weight in 2005. and then we had to aster thing, clergy in 2010 and 11 i of course there was international assistance but biological done by the people and the government. and now i'm sure you've been
12:16 pm
communion and i think they will. and they are hoping up in the room on that it was probably going so then job and there's a big flash of them and it was a lot of damage. yes, i saw the right there is now stepping and saying it will invest $1000000000.00 and package done. what will take on the prospects for international support to pakistan and what hasn't been moved support so far? well, i think it says you said in your introduction it is already boxed on as for the i'm of understand, but some as to close to $4000000000.00 which has been met but true. and so. so i think this is one of the conditions which i think so as
12:17 pm
happened and it is going through the problem which has been seeking through the i m f and the condition of the i am i looking back to think pakistan government could have done anything differently to control the country's economy. while it is just focused on, there are $100.00 enters which have been affected, especially during the world. and then subsequently in this year, with the 10 in prices, the prices are low price of gas and i'll have $1.00 on on the knowledge is coming down. this is a big also prices, especially we've gone up. so this is something which is international guys which but not the room and that is impacting yes. well if you all the
12:18 pm
opposition, it would, they would play me out that prime minister wrong call and they blamed and controlled inflation and loss of trust. how justified, do you think those cleanser $1.00 position once you're in the government? do you think that all is wanted or a but once then i can rise all kind of ethics. so basically, i think personally, i think they've been in a way and miss them not on more of the responsibility of the bag. many on and and we are now we know the new prime minister was extended this deal with the i am asked. do you think that's good news for pakistan and how, how could that influence the economy? while it's one big news, i'm going to, i'm up with no good news because you have been searching mergers. misha, ultimate, in fact, been to the people. and this is not, but at the same time,
12:19 pm
these are the structural adjustment you have to make and you have been down found deficit. so i'm understanding actually will be meeting that, which is why you received in almost part of the prices of the i have been doing the possible month and this is entering the people and because of the other, the more reviews than others we can extend. yes, i said to ronnie from pakistan to the you a on the wrong. thank you very much for your time. really appreciate your inside. thank you. thank you. ok. as many as $723.00 prisoners being held without trial and israeli jails the highest. and in a decade us, according to a major is reading newspaper. all of them are reported to be of palestinian origin . among them are 11 children with palestinian detainees held for lengthy periods
12:20 pm
without being charged to all convicted as many as $184.00 palestinian prisoners had been held in such detention to more than a year. is when you're 30 came the right to indefinitely prolonged the detention periods or the high court have already rejected. 18 appeals to void such decisions . this policy, known as administrative detention, has been repeatedly condemned by the un. israel has also been accused of mistreating the palestinian prisoners with one such case being that of a former aid to work in garza mohammed al, hello abby. he was arrested by the is ready security service 6 years ago and was found guilty of embezzling millions of dollars for the hamas administration. viewed as terrorists by his route, but rights groups including honesty, international, say his confession was obtained under duress. we heard from mohammed's parents, and o they did us here. boon humbug. credited mohammed has faced 171 sessions in court, and now he is waiting another one. the last session,
12:21 pm
according to one of the attendees, was a black day in the history of israel. the accused mohammed or several challenges, but all of them are false. mohammed face severe injustice during his detention india's ready prison, where he spent $52.00 days on the torture, after which he lost 20 kilograms rooms wash. and madame, and certainly the last thing i expected was that mohammed would be arrested. his activity was limited to humanitarian work and he was preparing coupons for the poor . it had nothing to do with politics. we expect that he will be released because no charges have been proven against him. we are sure he has not committed any crime. since mohammed's absence, i have been suffering from heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. i demand that the world international institutions and human rights organizations view. mm hm. it's case as a humanitarian issue and resolve it, however is well insists that l hubby had her li bees. the charges are well
12:22 pm
established while also defending as administrative detention policy as a pro acts as means of preventing any additional attacks made by the suspect. while evidence is still being gathered, the director of the other may human rights organization believes his values, his master rest campaigns as a tool to control over the palestinian population. this is a gray fe relations for the basics of human rights, actually at a stink people without charges without trial. this is out of battery detention. this is a great fe relation for the 4th geneva convention, if they really have evidence as against those people, why they don't charge them in a trial and enable them to defend themselves. can you understand at us think a child and are 18 years old and claiming that he's code cozying is threat, a very serious threat to the security that can justify at us think him for one year
12:23 pm
. it's the tune of control over population. the full senior population, this is why they lounge mad at us campaigns. i hope that the international community will understand that without serious actions, without effective actions against the israeli, a government will not abide to the international law will not respect and implement that obligations and or international law. they stop the f. 35 coalition has criticized these twist guffman for blocking a vote on the purchase of new american fighter jets fronting it a mockery of a functioning democracy. a government announcement ignores a position that has gathered more than a 100000 signatures. switzerland, according to experts, has become dependent on the pentagon on his throwing away billions of dollars for military purposes. as with government statement maintains that delays and the delivery of american fights as could have serious consequences for the country
12:24 pm
security policy. it gets a reaction from executive vice president of the eurasia santa l rasmussen. thank you for joining us on the program. always nice to see you now and i'll experts suggest that switzerland is become more dependent on the pentagon. what's your take on this claim? i would, i would think so. i mean if you look at the already have 518 that they've had for quite a while since the 70 and 80 which are near the end of their life cycle. so. so they're steering. they are staying closer to us. technology, i think they're being influenced more by walking. well, i think we've been a gradual shift away from their traditional new probably but yes, i would. yeah, it's interesting at their that their primary focus was on, you know, select a, a non european alternative, which is probably cost wise and everything. i mean, i'm not sure. i mean,
12:25 pm
i are interested, it was cost was lower but, but that looking at the life cycle costs, looking at training costs and everything else. but i would say that they're becoming closer and closer to any more influence by watching. if it's what extent does this decision, how are they with the wheel, political agenda, switzerland or the countries priorities? yeah. you know, switzerland for decades make historically as the neutral. we've already seen. we've seen some shifts in that. obviously, the think it really was thanks against russia as a major shift for that. we've seen allowing the swift you cut off many russian bank is another f u. s. request. but another clear example of that now we've got we've got a procurement that the people don't really support. it seems like and
12:26 pm
warm weather flit. and we basically see a thing, i think of the government policy away from that tradition of the trolley and more towards the washington camp. and, and i think i understand there is a competition for this understand place we're, we're needing to be replace. but again, we're, we're kind of ignoring a voice to people which i see not just a foot one, but across many european 3 been. and i would say the us and, well, well, according to the statement as a delay in the acquisition of the 35 jets would have serious consequences for switzerland, security, security. what are those consequences you thing, a lot of the airplanes there are, are towards the end of their life. and so you've got you've got maintain maintenance issues that need to be concerned about. which, you know, as they, you know, which could threaten that. now switzerland, although they technically are a neutral country, they are neutral but they,
12:27 pm
they are an arm to travel. in other words, they traditionally have always got an armed, but also interesting here and up until recently, all their military was reserved on fall only recently have, have they actually brought on active or it's i think there's about maybe 1500 active air force pilots. the support personnel for wired to that everything was on the reserves are on fall, a national guard should stand structure. so i think the delay in, in meeting the plane, you know, and delivery. i mean, that has a factor as far as the security and being able to ensure they have their operational when to meet their own security and also supply chain to the now you look at a y j, a halfway across the world to ensure the maintenance sustainably the place which
12:28 pm
needs to be coming to should be factored in and also according to experts, switzerland is also being hit by the cost of living crisis. what exactly are the effects being felt in that country? i think it's typical about almost everything. i mean, you look primarily i've been talking to my european colleagues, their energy prices are significantly increasing. well, well above what, what the, the official government levels are. but it's not just that. i mean, you figure the energy. it's and that trickles in the industry. so a lot of the vendor fries then rely on that, so they can't function properly early. if they get shut down or they're not competitive and they close. well those, those companies produce. there's some certain companies that produce arts for
12:29 pm
almost a large portion of the rest of the company that's going to impact that. so you're going to see right now you're saying the impact from an energy cost impact on a, on a food costs impact on. and i think you're seeing the impact on the supply chain area which, which will i think we're only see in the early stages. many thanks for joining us on a program. always appreciate you. we're inside the executive vice president of the racial center last mission. thank you and thank you for joining us. hey, on our t international as always, plenty more updates on our website on p dot com, but will be back in 30 minutes with no the the no, yes. good wellborn, catherine. we shall moisture the expense of it. that's it,
12:30 pm
as though it's a business. i am the business for adam bus morisha. he has no way but galvan machine. yep. i'm glad what my ducks the water now. that's new. my lip, lip mama, we're business. let the customer ship sydney with this to. he's him on a big oh, i shift to some i make that they basically in the us to he's him on a big a lot of time that it but that much the biggest. i mean what i watched on the thrush, no. m quarter or machine. if they ish summer buy it, they're sneaky, they eat them to pick it up and buy it. keep up with a b. c. you got to la barnett who sat harvey was all scared up by the garage really.
