the head of the un nuclear watchdog, rafael grossi, said the agency must be allowed to inspect the plante warned fighting near the site has sparked a "grave" crisis. russian forces currently occupy the plant, and it has been the subject of a number of artillery strikes throughout the war. so just how serious is the situation at the nuclear power plant? i've been speaking to elizabeth shackelford, a former official at the us department of state and now senior fellow at the chicago council on global affairs. i asked her if there's anything that international institutions like the un and iaea can do. the question is how effective it is going to be is in the hands of people we don't control, like president putin of russia, but we need to continue to put multilateral pressure on russia to allow inspectors in. we need to ensure that the un puts those inspectors there as well. russia has been claiming that the united nations and the iaea have been the block. but i think that the diplomacy needs to continue because, quite frankly, there is not a palatable military solution to this current stando

rafael grossi, the iaea chief, said he hoped to be there within days, not weeks.hey hope the inspectors are professional and fair. kyiv, frankly, in the words of dmytro kuleba, the country's foreign minister, wants to see a condemnation, notjust of russia's occupation but reports of their continued violations of the site in terms of safety amid claims that they continue to use it as a military base. and stay with us on bbc news, still to come: high spirits in notting hill as the carnival returns for the first time since the pandemic. she received the nobel peace prize for her work with the poor and the dying in the indian slums. the head of the catholic church said mother teresa was a wonderful example of how to help people in need. we have to identify the bodies and then arrange the coffins and take them back home. parents are waiting, wives are waiting. hostages appeared, some carried, some running, i trying to escape the - nightmare behind them. britain lost a princess today. described by all to whom she reached out as irreplaceable, an early morning car crash

media reports, it must be said that there is some confusion about how long this visit will last, rafael grossiency for atomic energy said that he expects the mission to last for days, but at the same time there is a statement from the local head appointed by the russians, in which he insists that any visit should last only one or two days until it is understood how exactly the team will get to the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, this complex is located on the territory controlled the russians and the fighting continues there. therefore, there is also a security component in all of this, and as today during the day, in the previous days there were many statements and statements and answers from both the russians and the ukrainians about shelling in in that region, the day before, the ukrainians accused the russians of shelling the route that the mission would take to reach the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. therefore, many questions remain open and it seems that for the inspectors of the magat, this will be a very difficult mission. peace, but don't interfere with the military, the head of

hemisphere, the safety of the station is also being taken care of by the director of the megater, rafael grossicently, the situation at nuclear facilities, and in particular at the zaporizhzhia npp in ukraine, is rapidly deteriorating and becoming very alarming. an active negotiation process is currently underway for an invitation from ukraine, if the mission is worked out together by the un and the megatet, we welcome, we will welcome the inclusion of un staff also this mission, especially those who have a military background or a military-political background, this is important because the ministry of defense has no experience of working at nuclear power plants in wartime conditions, and some objects at the plant are mined. are located in the engine room of the station, the cnnt channel claims that they were able to confirm the authentic filming, the experts should stay there for several days to collect the correct information, collect the real information, see look into every corner in the car hall 1,2 as we know the russians have driven their equipment there and all these things see in prod

conditions in order to prevent him, i will remind earlier that the director of the organization, rafael grossi, personally volunteered to urgently visit the station, because the day before there was a complete disconnection of the nuclear power plant from the power grid , such an incident happened for the first time in history, no power unit has yet connected to such actions of the invaders, they reacted in the united states, there they noted that russia is creating an energy the crisis in europe is not specific the ministry of foreign affairs is disappointed that the office of the un humanitarian coordinator in ukraine did not express a clear oleg nikolenko, the spokesman of the ukrainian ministry of defense, stated the position regarding the russian shelling of the town with helicopter gunships and added that the appeals of the un high representative to all parties to observe international humanitarian law seem disconnected from reality, because the ministry of defense of the russian federation has publicly admitted to committing a war crime, they said that they allegedly hit a military eche

the head of the agency, rafael grossi, told the bbc earlier this week that he expects to lead a missiontle earlier i spoke to nickolas roth from the nuclear threat initiative about the situation at the plant. this is an incredibly dangerous moment at this operational nuclear power plant. what happened today represented perhaps one of the most dangerous moments since the crisis at the reactor began months ago. nuclear power plants require off—site power to function safely, to cool the reactor, to cool the spent fuel there. any cut off of that power could potentially cause an enormous crisis at the facility. and, you know, i don't want to look at the worst—case scenario in this situation, but what does a nuclear accident actually look like? what we talking about here? there is a real danger of some type of radiological release, should there be a nuclear accident at the plant. this is different from say a nuclear explosion from an atomic bomb, but this would be radioactive materials spreading through surrounding areas contaminating water and potentially impacting human health. we have got
