reporter: the address follows hours after the release of a report by the iaa, experts investigating thelant have found extensive damage at the facility, including the building that houses fresh nuclear fuel and the storage unit for radioactive waste. the watchdog says it i concerned r the opations going over. -- going forward. >> subject to high stress and pressure is not sustainable and could lead to increased human error with implications on nuclear safety. reporter: the largest nuclear plant in europe has been under russian control since march but is run by ukrainian engineers. it endured heavy shelling of the area w kyiv and moscow trading blame for the attacks. the iaa says work is underway to repair the damage. >> the report has been considered by the un security council. mariano joins us next from the harvard kennedy school. a safe zone is called for. safe from home? -- whom? >> that is t queion they have been careful not to hit on the head because the agency has a technical mission. th were there to ascertn safety and security. to see for themselves and report to the internation

what experts say including the iaa and the ukraine nuclear provider, the electricity in the plant is provided by the sixth reactor. the plant has not had to move to a backup generator like it did before. they are due to produce the report. you'll remember that last thursday, a team of inspectors arrived at the plant. and that was considered a huge step in the right direction. four of the inspectors left yesterday, leaving just two in the plant. we should get a better idea of what they found. the factor of their presence, which was meant to calm things done, hasn't done that. but the hope is it will help speed up the process of getting the power lines crucial to the safe and proper functioning of europe's largest power plant up and running in quicker time than they had, rosemary. >> russia is purchasing more artillery shells from north korea. what are you learning from that? >> reporter: russia is likely in the process of purchasing millions of artillery shells and rockets from north korea likely to be deployed on ukraine. another blow of the russian military that it has to turn to so

but again, this is something that needs to be confirmed by the iaa later today. they will have a press conference in the evening. and i suppose we'll be hearing about how much they were able to talk to the ukrainians who operate the facility without russians present. and going to work, but let me ask you something else. the i e. a chief inspector says there will be a continued presence at the facility. do we know anything more about that plan and how that is going to work? the idea has been around for a few days and he said that before he wants that those who stayed behind part of the mission left already yesterday night, they didn't. they only spent a few hours, including the director who was already on his way back to vienna. or, or already in vienna, we don't know that. but what, what should we know is that a few of the expert stayed behind that need to do a more thorough assessment. there are lots of things to assess right now. damage done to the facility, how the security systems are affected, working conditions, hopefully talk to the, to the ukrainian stuff

i trust that the iaa will be able to carry out their mission. let us do everything we can to support them. as a result, to keep working for peace in line with international law and the united nations charter. >> thank you secretary-general. i now give the floor. >> it is a pleasure for me to address this counsel for the third time this year regarding the situation in ukraine. >> i also want to thank the secretary-general. by being with them for a few days and sharing some tense moments, they are heroic to the cause of the united nations. thank you very much secretary-general. i hope we will continue to work to bring stability to the facility ukraine. i have issued a comprehensive report. i have the honor to lead last week in ukraine and the visit to the nuclear power plant. this mission has been the result of a painstaking effort of six months during which strenuous efforts were deployed to be there with our inspectors to draft a report of this visitation to corroborate some facts that we had been observing over the last six months but not stop

think the russian federation will accept that protection zone or demilitarization as being proposed by iaa. my hble assessment is that we need to elevate this plan to escalate to the level of the political gotiation and security council needs to be more proactive rather than setting do and listening to the pontification. >> many thanks. >> thank you. >> ukraine says three civilians have been killed by russian missile attacks near the eastern city of kharkiv. that said he has seen much of the shelling but ukraine is reporting progress on his counteroffensive in the south. >> hit by rockets again and again. kharkiv is ukraine's second largest city. its position in the east and the russian border has made it a target throughout the war. there was an explosion at the apartment sure. pieces of tile hit my child's back and the ceiling collapsed on my head. everything immediately filled the room. >> rescuers are still searching through the rubble, if survivors on the attack are in the city center, several people were killed in other strides in the region and air raid assignments -- sirens ran tou

we do not know how events can develop every hour, especially tomorrow after the last experts of the iaaleave the territory of the zaporizhia stage, mr. mykhailo, we wanted to colonize i would like to ask in more detail, as you also represent this political force. moreover, you were also the initiator, so why is this initiative needed now, decolonization, what does it consist of? i am convinced that the solutions which adopted in 14-19 about decommunization, they were very essential for the formation of a completely new perception of our country by ukrainians, and the fact that today neither kharkiv, dnipro, zaporizhzhia, nor even occupied mariupol, berdyansk, or other cities do not accept muscovites, this is precisely the result of the policy of ukrainization and decommunization of our state, but this is not enough because today it is very important to renounce not only communism, today it is very important to renounce racism and the moscow accumulation on our history on our culture on our consciousness, and therefore we must very clearly return to our origins, starting from the simples

as experts from the iaa assesses the evidence of shelling there, the special monitoring, making noise, national atomic energy agency. they are just finishing their wrapping up the visit to the facility behind me. you can see with coffee, he's surrounded by his colleagues and a lot of press now, i mean we've been following the delegation for quite a while. we've seen everything that they've been shown and they've been thrown quite a lot. basically, they've been showing the devastation, they've been shown, every single crater left by the days of relentless shelling of the power plant final support. it's a very heavy behind you. you can't see it really because of the amount of press on under the employees over the i a but there's a massive rocky thing right there which is being shown to mr. crossing. even that as we were getting to the station we did see black smoke rising from the facility, the shelling we did. indeed though, when the delegation just went, the delegation just arrived here. the power plant it has been, it has seen quite some extensive damage somehow, while nuclear reacto

grigory, i congratulate you, are you satisfied with the conclusion reached by the representatives of the iaaission after visiting the zaporizhzhia power plant, well, in my opinion, it is too early to say about any conclusions, because there is no final report yet on the work of the e-e inspection, but from the first statements of mr. money it is clear that he is impressed by what he saw. and secondly, such a message is enough because he told me that the staff is enough in such a complex psychological state, and with regard to the physical protection of the facility, so that it is also violated yes, but the issue is the proliferation of nuclear weapons, it is more likely not weapons, but nuclear material, it still remains because in one day, all six nuclear power units in six pools of exposure, well, it is impossible, and it is still a good message that remains and it is good his decision, in my opinion, that five more experts still remain at the dance to work yes well, they will stay for several days literally there that there are two groups that will work, one is currently working for the s

military trucks on the first floor, a machine in the engine room of two power units, and the head of the iaa called for the immediate creation of a safe zone around the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. we realize that in principle no international organizations can influence the russians, the magadan report is absolutely expected in terms of its content because my experts could not pass by the fact of the presence of military equipment at the station. once they could not pass by the damage to the station. two could not pass by the probable threats to security. 3. they could not clearly say from which side the station was being fired at because it is not their competence. in general, when you are somewhere, you can do it yourself. you don't walk with a compass. the truth is there, even if with a compass , it is still not your business. well, we remember how one of the members of the delegation asked why a projectile came from that side, where is russia? well that is, it is logical that they do not understand this in military affairs, but it is also clear that the russians are not interested

like the resolution proposed to the board of governors that the iaa, the same thing will happen and based on the influence, so they will create problems again. so we should finalize the safeguard issues for and regarding the guarantees, if we have the trustworthy guarantees and we have the lasting removal of the sanctions, not temporary removal of sanctions. and if there is a lasting solution for the safeguard issues, the shore, it's possible to reach agreement. ukraine's president vladimir lansky says that a mass grave has been found in the northeast and city of is you city, which is in the kalki region, has recently been recaptured from russian forces earlier. local police officials said 440 bodies had been located across the region. while food program says that its facilities been looted, nearby office is set on fire and northern haiti. violent process of swept across the country, falling an announcement on wednesday that the government was hiking the price of fuel. the price of a lease of petrol will, more than double us president joe biden has hosted a form of whitehouse to bring abo

those inspectors are currently in the facility, the iaa says it's been able to collect a lot of crucialtion in the last several hours about the safety conditions inside the plant. despite their visit, fighting on the outside of the facility has not stopped. large explosions took place in the nearby area just earlier today, and shelling also specifically hit the facility once again today. while the war rages on, it's also a big moment for millions of kids in ukraine. today is the first day back to class. we visited a school in irpin where every single window was blown out from russian shelling. that has all been fixed but the school is also preparing for a lot of trauma and therapists will be on hand this year. president zelenskyy visited the same school speaking with kids and addressed the country, speaking about the resiliency and braverly the kids have shown in the last six months. >> they grew up very quickly. they did not get scared. and they helped. they helped in bomb shelters, they took care of parents who were injured. >> 51% of schools across ukraine will open for in-person lea

we support the iaa and opposing a fair and objective position. third, we must honestly ease the humanitarian situation. it is vital to observe international humanitarian law and minimize civilian casualties. investigations into violations should be objective and fair, based on facts rather than an assumption of guilt and without being politicized. the international community needs to support the united nations humanitarian agencies in upholding neutrality and equity and continue to provide assistance to those affected in ukraine and its neighboring countries. fourth, we must contain spillover. energy suppliers and consumers should work together to keep the global energy market stable. we support the secretary-general in helping facilitate the exports of russian and ukrainian grains. china has put forth the international food security initiative and will welcome positive results from all countries. no country should resort to arbitrary unilateral sanctions. madam president, the security council should uphold the basic principles of objectivity on
