Neighbor, knowing what it is capable of. Yeah, theyre a great concerns about nuclear safety. Civilian Nuclear Power cannot be used as an instrument of war. And yet we both faced masks and potassium iodide, hoping it will help just in case. In moment russia arrived ukraine, europe, and the world appears to be at the in the age, the nuclear pedestal, unimaginable skin also coming up a part of their country is occupied. Russian rockets can strike anywhere any time in yet. Ukrainian soccer players are returning to the pitch. The football michael won that the, the showed the people that really, that the ok now i was to show it to the world that the, our life and the dont forget us to our viewers watching on p b as in the United States into all of you around the world, welcome. We begin the day with russia and ukraine, apparently in this war for the long halt this week marked 6 months since the start of the russian invasion of ukraine. And it looks like another 6 months perhaps longer are now given as military analysts point to a stalemate along the front lines, a conflict that is becoming a war of attrition. With more and more weapons from the u. S. The u. K. In germany, arriving in ukraine, president s zalinski is under increasing pressure to launch a counter offensive against the russians in the east of the country. And the kremlin is leaving little doubt about its commitment to what it calls a special operation in you. Great. President putin ordering the military this week to enlist a 130000 more troops to night the most dangerous battlefield. In this conflict remains a Nuclear Power plant. Russian troops took control. Busy of the zappa reeds. He a power plant in ukraine several months ago. Ukraine and russia are accusing each other of launching attacks dangerously close to the Nuclear Reactors. We have more now in this report. The risk of a Nuclear Disaster in europe has been looming large, full weeks. Ukraine says it was narrowly avoided on thursday. Yet with dc. If the diesel generators didnt turn on it after the black out, the Automatic Systems and the personnel didnt start working, we would have to face the consequences of a radiation accident. The la la city, i get the name of audi. Russia has put ukrainians as well as all europeans, one step away from radiation disaster that hostile there has been growing concerned about fighting the part blonde. On thursday fires visible, youre on satellite imagery knocked out. Its lost external power line. The electricity its applied was used for cooling and safety systems, or the Nuclear Power plant. Obama, i think with ukraine has blamed Russian Forces for starting the fires rush us as there was parked by ukrainian chelan g residence where the danger has not been avoided yet the mild, what i think every sane person is afraid. Now, every one is afraid. Knowing our neighbor, knowing what it is capable of, that we understand that there can be different consequences of what is happening there. Now, that is why everyone is afraid. We are not worried about blackouts, see, but that the ecological situation may change. Apply to him will jasminenewton this of that here with of course everyone is afraid. The entire world is afraid that if i really want the situation to become peaceful again, i want inspectors to finally reached the plant. I want the power shortages to be overcome and additional facilities to be operational. But its of, i want all of us to live in a safe world. And well see inspectors from the new and Nuclear Watchdog planning to was at the bar station, which is held by Russian Forces. The waiting to be rounded access ah, will boring a Nuclear Reactor mill down in ukraine . What do the next 6 months look like for bugs you gradient and Russian Forces . A spring in marina mirand. Shes an Honorary Research fellow in the defense studies departments center for military ethics at Kings College in london. Marine. Its good to have you with us this evening. So here we are 6 months into this war rushes invasion of you. Crane this week, russian, president , putin said we need to boost the size of the military. What does that tell us about how the war has gone so far for russia and what does it tell us about words headed . I think its an interesting question because it is a way, a direct reply to the aid coming from the United States. The recent announcement by jo bidens administration, and i think that is russias response signaling the fact that the war is not going to and any time. Soon as a matter of fact, perhaps during winter, both russia and ukraine will have the chance to regroup and recover to resume operations and spring. But were in for a long whole here. And the latest 3000000000. 00 u. S. Military aid package that was announced this week committed includes more high tech weapons of air defense systems, radars, artillery systems. I mean, what does this tell us about how the us now views the Ukrainian Military i think was a u. S. Its a sign of commitment to ukraine because in the past weeks and there have been a lot of publications trying to discredit the ukrainian armies their food was air efforts. And especially in relation to the Nuclear Plant as well as human rights abuses. So its a sign that us is still committed to supporting ukraine and that it believes and the fact that the Ukranian Army can withstand russian aggression. Moreover, its important for the biden administration, given the palming elections in november to sat, a mark, and hopefully to send a message to the allies who have been slowing down their support to ukraine because of their own national interests. To throws our support behind the Ukranian Army, and this has been showing in recent attacks on crimea and also the antonio ski bridge, which have been successful and from a tactical perspective. So the idea is supporting more weapons. However, as these weapons are defensive in nature, at least there, it says, a Ukrainian Armed forces can stop russia from advancing on the front lines in the weapons systems. Oh, the i mars rocket systems that we know that give ukraine and increased military punch a boost if you will. What about the psychological impact though, of these weapons deliveries . Whats been the impact of these deliveries on both sides . I think its very important to look at this war from both perspectives. There is an information dimension to this war. So, announcing disease delivery is, is strategically em mistake, because the enemies of russia is known wayne and is preparing for the fact that these deliveries will take place. And well be trying to get information on where i am as a logistics the logistic roots are and try to targets m u, the u. S. Or even the u. S. Should keep the secret when it is planning to send another 1000000000 or 2000000000. 00 and weapons doing great. I believe it would be wiser. But as a sad, there are 2 time it does. If there is a psychological dimension and then morale, oak impulses of ukraine is crumbling, their war for the same as the russians. So its important shows that the west is still behind ukraine and that they are getting the support that they badly need. And this reinforces the position of the landscape, the president who can keep his promise to deliver these weapons to the front. However, there is a downside that the russians, they should be, deter it by hearing that there is that ukraine is getting these weapons, however, is that also gives them the chance to prepare. They are waiting in anticipation, they know whats coming in was going to be facing them. And from that perspective, its not very wise to disclose what exactly is being delivered. And in what quantities of what types of weapons. When asked you, we heard a why did the beginning of this war, but the fears of large skill cyber attacks, from russia, in retaliation for western weapon supplies or for economic sanctions. But the, the fears have not been borne out. Reality have we overestimated russias Cyber Capabilities here . I think its quite an interesting question that gets posed quite a lot because everybody was expecting in cyber holocaust. And that has been indeed some isolated cyber attacks, which on the battlefield preceded kinetic strikes. However, we havent received the full capability of russias cyber earth and all, and the reason for that can be a that they are lacking these capabilities. However, the more likely scenario is that its not worth stepping up the stakes and showing their hand because essentially ukraine is not the main enemy for russia. Its the nato alliance. And so using their secret weapon there war when winning weapon, because that cyber has been described as such by russian sources early on in the ukrainian war is just the waste for russia. Because there is a fear that these weapons will get out there and will be reverse engineered the same way. It happened with sand warm. So there is no strategic utility. As of now, i mean, in terms of military equipment, russia is not leading a war. Russia is leading a special military operation. Its not committing all of a tosses. Its not committing all of its technology to ukraine. So the same logic applies to cyber just. They are keeping the best for later on when, when the real danger of confrontation was natal states looms closer. Thats more likely when russia will try to use its offensive. Cyber and probably not against cranium targets, but rather against western targets. We certainly have boards that day. Never come. Marina roland from Kings College london, merida. We appreciate your time and your insights. Thank you. Thank you. Ah, professional football returned to ukraine this week with the 1st top flight match is held in the country since russia invasion began. The 1st 4 set of fixtures takes place as weekend, but there is both pride an trepidation from players and fans alike. At one game, already air raid sirens forced players to run for cover ukrainians had been waiting for this moment with a football fans or otherwise the resumption of the mens ukrainian premier league. 6 months after the russian invasion began, was a sign that daily life could go on. A message from president Vladimir Lensky was broadcast to the players before kick off. The resumption is especially significant to those involved. Its very important and emotionally earn socially aspect. And youre seeing president zalinski told us some phrases, you know, and from all that her, the football must go on. That to the we showed the people that really, that the craner was the showed to the world that we are alive and the dont forget us. Spectators are not allowed at present because of the obvious dangers. Even the players are taking a risk. If an air raid siren sounds, they have to run to the nearest shelter immediately, which he is and then pick stadium is in the underground copper. Thats exactly what happened for 2 teams playing in the viv. Their match lasted over 4 hours because they had to shelter 3 times. No strikes were detected in the area. Seems like that. Have many fans weighing the pros and cons of the situation. Alas. But if i am, we hope our country is a fact that the air defenses will work. Oh, but for now, i would not go to an event like that, that as yet not for the length. Exactly. I would not play. I would postpone it islov. Its difficult is i hit on the one hand, it is very important that we show all the different sides of ukraine and even in such difficult times for us, which can on the other hand, it is danger l as in to walk with that. And that was place, most matches are taking place and give and in the west of the country, away from the main fighting top club shacked antonette have been playing away from their home city for years. Anyway, given the situation in easton ukraine, they moved their club shop to the capitol. Now the rest of ukrainian football is trying to get used to a new normal ah, a heat wave and drought and shine him are drying out the famed yang see river of the yankee is the longest river in asia and a crucial water source for nearly 400000000 people. Its a vital part of chinas economy. Blackouts are feared as reservoirs dry up. High temperatures have stretched past 70 days in a row, making this heat wave the longest on record. And there are similar worries in the United States over hydro, electric power stations, which depend on the Colorado River and the Colorado River is best known for what did millions of years ago carving out the grand canyon. But recent droughts mean that this, once mighty Torrent River is running dry, the colorado extends 2300 kilometers from high in the Rocky Mountains right there. As you see in colorado and it goes all the way down through arizona and been empties into mexico, it provides water for 40000000 people in southern state. Hundreds of thousands of farms and ranches rely on it, but water levels in several reservoirs. Theres water levels, theyve dropped dramatically and the u. S. Government is now cutting back on the amount of water that goes to individual states. D. W. Stuff on simons to night reports from lake mead near hoover dam. Ah. Good. The expensive fountain water display in front of so called sin cities, icon, nikoto, bellagio, be a thing of the past soon. Know at least not yet. But as the entire Southwest Region of the u. S. Is facing a mega drought water or not having enough of it any more has become a big problem for las vegas and the entire state of nevada. Were meeting with christian gay like a Community Activists and senior representative of National Environmental organization. The sierra Club Christian wants to show us a place called echo bay, within what is known as lake meet National Recreational area, just a few miles east of las vegas. Hardly anybody ever comes really to echo bay. Unfortunately, it was a very popular spot, so popular, in fact, it had an airport. But as you can see, the water levels dropping so dramatically. Its affected the economy of the area. There are not people coming out to visit and recreate as much here in eco bay. Eco bay is not the only spot falling victim to the lower water level. Tear lake meet created by hoover dam is the largest man made Water Reservoir in the us in terms of water capacity. However, the reservoirs water level has dropped visibly by unprecedented amounts in recent years. As christina, top Flight Attendant from germany, visits hoover dam, she is alarmed by what she observed. I think the bell shall have rang long time ago unless it should keep on ringing and something has to be done about it. Absolutely. It is very dangerously long and we actually up a flight. So we flew over here days ago and just the seat also from above and 40000 feet. I can show you a picture. Its unbelievable. Meets water level shrank by a whopping 100. 50 plus feet in the last 40 years, an ever growing so called white beth top ring here and at other reservoirs would have devastating effects for all us states in the lower Colorado River basin. For tens of millions of people and hundreds of thousands of businesses in nevada, arizona, california, and even in mexico, we are on track to see additional drops in the water levels up to the point to where its, its scary we may face what is called deadpool, where water will not even flow out of lake need further down the Colorado River system. Fixing this problem requires understanding where it starts in the Rocky Mountains, due to global warming, mild winters, dont produce enough snow. Melt any more for the Colorado River to carry down stream into lake meat and built the solution. Unprecedented cuts in water use strict water conservation, and ultimately the d. Corporatization of our economies. Not a can do any longer, but a must do experts say ah, the families of athletes killed in the terrorist attack of the 1972 munich olympics are planning to boycott the 50th anniversary commemorations he read germany. The government has yet to agree on further compensation with relatives of the 11 israeli team members killed by palestinian terrace. The families are calling once on offer an insult. Their husbands were killed half a century ago, but the wounds of that loss remain open.

A coughed into this memorial stone just outside of munich olympic village, where the massacre unfolded in september of 1972. Although berlin admitted its responsibility for its miss handling of the attacks relative say, that is not enough in what the lookout will take responsibility. Theres the price. If you do something wrong martial, theres a price for it. So pay a fair price is not the math. They did here in the law at the mathematic gosh, on the soley bull. Much the families, lawyers say that the payments offered by German Authorities dont come close to the lowest end of their request. But berlin declined to comment on the specific figures of the negotiation. Once but give it a federal government regret that it has not yet impossible to reach a consensus with all relatives on the spaces and expressly emphasizes its willingness to engage in further talks. A willingness that relatives dont see they have
