The head of the UN nuclear watchdog told the Security Council on Thursday (August 11) that the agency must be allowed to inspect Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, saying that fighting near the site has sparked a "grave" crisis. FRANCE 24's Rob Parsons tells us more.
Rafael Grossi urged Russia and Ukraine -- who blame each other for the attacks on the plant -- to immediately allow nuclear experts to assess the damage and evaluate safety and security at Europe's largest nuclear powerplant.
The United Nations nuclear watchdog chief said there had been a significant build-up in the number of troops in the region of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia power plant and it could no longer be protected. FRANCE 24's Jean-Emile Jammine tells us more.
