The International Atomic Energy Agency convenes this week as leaders call for Russia to get out of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. Vladimir Putin meets with senior commander of Wagner mercenary group. What Ukrainian troops are doing to ensure children in their future.
Every so often, federal and provincial governments reexamine plans they have made in the event of a nuclear accident or missile exchange, which have existed in one form or another since the beginning of the cold war. Last week, we learned those plans had been updated very recently, at least in part due to Russian control of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.These plans cover everything from trying to protect Canadians overseas who may be impacted by an accident, to more classified documents working out emergency preparations in the event of nuclear missiles being fired. How likely is either the former or latter? What do these plans entail? What would happen should Russia sabotage the plant? And should we really worry about an actual nuclear exchange?GUEST: Ed Waller, Professor in the Faculty of Energy Systems and Nuclear Science at OntarioTechU, NSERC Senior Industrial Research Chair in Health Physics and Environmental Safety
Moscow and Kyiv have traded allegations that the other side is planning a disastrous attack on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant that they warn could cause a major radiological event. Last week, Ukrainian President Zelensky warned that Russian occupation forces have placed “objects resembling explosives” on some rooftops at the power station, “perhaps to simulate an attack on the plant.” Officials in Moscow, on the other hand, have their own allegations, claiming that Ukraine plans to frame Russian troops for an attack on the plant. Meanwhile, inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency are on the ground but still aren't getting unrestricted access. On July 7, the IAEA reported that they visited the isolation gate separating the cooling pond from what remains of the Kakhovka reservoir after the destruction of the downstream dam a month ago. They found no leakage from the pond, and they've observed no visible indications of mines or explosives anywhere inside the plant, but they still haven't been allowed onto the rooftops of reactor units 3 and 4 and parts of the turbine halls. To make sense of these reports and to respond to the panic that this situation provokes, The Naked Pravda welcomes back nuclear arms expert Pavel Podvig, a senior researcher at the U.N. Institute for Disarmament Research.

Giselle and Iulia are joined by Henry Sokolski, Executive Director of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center, a Washington-based nonprofit organization focused on strategic weapons proliferation issues, to explain why Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia power plant and Russian attacks on it should be - and then remain - headline news. Henry outlines the dangers of compromised nuclear power plants and the serious implications of vulnerabilities. He explains how the Russians' attacks on the power plant, specifically, are raising concerns over a Fukushima-like nuclear disaster occurring in Ukraine, and he considers the Russians' goals through these attacks. He discuss the billions of dollars in costs to build nuclear power plants and the politics surrounding them, especially in considering how to reconstruct more resilient Ukrainian power plants. Lastly, Henry shares practical advice for the United States government and Ukraine in pursuing energy security and resilience. Show notes: "Present Danger: Nuclear Plants in War" by Henry D.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports on Russia Ukraine War Nuclear Plant-Latest
AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports on Russia Ukraine War Nuclear Plant.
Russia stages a deadly bombardment of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia city as its forces retreat in the face of a Ukrainian counteroffensive in the south and east. President Biden says risk of "Armageddon" is at its highest since early 1960s due to Russian threats of the possible use of nuclear weapons in response to its losses in Ukraine.
King Charles and his wife Camilla, the Queen Consort, will take part in a procession bearing his late mother's coffin to St Giles' Cathedral in Scotland. Charles addressed lawmakers in Britain's Parliament, telling them: “I cannot but help feel the weight of history which surrounds us.” President Joe Biden has formally accepted an invitation to attend the state funeral service for Queen Elizabeth II. Ukraine has kept the counteroffensive momentum in its war against Russia going. It says it liberated one village after another amid a claim that in one region it had pushed the invaders back right up to the borders they came from. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is extending a state of calamity declared by his predecessor more than two years ago to deal with continuing concerns over the coronavirus pandemic. The shutdown of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant cuts the risk of a radiation disaster that has haunted the world. The last of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia plant's six nuclear reactors was shut down Sunday because Russia's war in Ukraine had repeatedly cut reliable external power supplies. Americans remembered 9/11 with tear-choked tributes and pleas to “never forget,” 21 years after the deadliest terror attack on U.S. soil. Victims' relatives and dignitaries gathered Sunday at all three places where hijacked jets crashed on Sept. 11, 2001 — the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field. President Joe Biden told the Pentagon gathering that the U.S. would continue working to root out terrorists. Nearly two decades after his capture in Pakistan, the self-described mastermind of the Sept. 11 terror attacks is still in a legal limbo. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and four other men accused of 9/11-related crimes continue to sit in a U.S. detention center in Guantanamo Bay. A majority of adults in the U.S. say health care is not handled well in the country. That's according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The poll reveals public satisfaction with the U.S. health care system is remarkably low, with fewer than half of Americans saying it's handled well in general. In Sunday's sports highlights, a teen won at the U.S. Open, while the Steelers and Saints pulled out week one wins late, and Albert Pujols moved closer to 700 home runs. The horror film “Barbarian” won the weekend as the late-summer doldrums at the box office continued. Sunday studio estimates say the debut film from director Zach Cregger brought in $10 million in North America to earn the No. 1 spot for Disney subsidiary 20th Century Studios. Coming in a distant second with $4.4 million was “Brahmāstra: Part One: Shiva,” an Indian, Hindi-language fantasy epic from Star Studios, another subsidiary of Disney. Older Hollywood fare, “Bullet Train” and “Top Gun: Maverick,” occupied the three and four spots. Planned Parenthood leaders from across the country met in California to discuss how to defend abortion rights. Their goal is to create a blueprint for protecting abortion rights now that the U.S. Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade. Georgia's Republican Party once relied on votes in Atlanta's close-in suburbs, but today the GOP increasingly relies on the mountains of north Georgia for its votes. An analysis by The Associated Press shows a 41-county region of north Georgia now has as many GOP voters as the core of metro Atlanta. Major League Baseball is ready to voluntarily accept the formation of a minor league union, a key step that will lead to collective bargaining and possibly a strike threat at the start of next season. The Major League Baseball Players Association launched the unionization drive on Aug. 28 and told MLB on Tuesday it had obtained signed authorization cards from the approximately 5,000 to 6,500 players with minor league contracts. —The Associated PressSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"The team closely witnessed shelling in the vicinity of the ZNPP, in particular on 3 Sept. when the team was instructed to evacuate to the ground level of the Administrative Building," a report by IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi to the United Nations Security Council said. "Moreover, the team observed damage at different locations caused by reported events with some of the damage being close to the reactor buildings." Grossi’s report Tuesday is the first update the international community has received on Europe’s largest nuclear power plant since Russia invaded Ukraine in February. The ZNPP has seen repeated damage caused by shelling that has hit the plant’s power lines connecting it to Ukraine’s electrical grid as well as its structural integrity. In his report, Grossi detailed several events that have "significantly compromised" the plant’s "Seven Pillars" – a standard at which the IAEA bases its security guidelines – since the ZNPP was first occupied in early March by Russian forces. The IAEA chief laid out a litany of concerns relating to damages inflicted on the plant’s electrical system, harm caused to the Central Alarm Station and damage inflicted on a container where the radiation monitoring system is located. The IAEA report also "noted with concern that the shelling could have impacted safety related structures, systems and components, and could have caused safety significant impacts, loss of lives and personnel injuries." Both Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of targeting the nuclear power plant, though the IAEA report did not clarify who is responsible for the attacks on the ZNPP. https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2022/09/06/ho-hum-another-47b-for-ukraine-covid-whatever-n494624 Ho hum. Another $47B for Ukraine, COVID, whatever Hey, what’s a paltry fifty billion dollars between friends, right? That’s roughly the amount of money that the Biden administration is asking Congress to approve in a short-term spending bill. The request is being described by the White House as “technical assistance to Congress” in the form of a continuing resolution. Biden’s people would like to see this spending bill pass as a standalone measure before the debate over the big spending bill takes place. That needs to be done by September 30, barely five weeks ahead of the midterm elections. And where will this latest mountain of money be going? To Ukraine, of course. And also to fight COVID, which will apparently be an excuse that we use indefinitely from here on out. Oh, and monkeypox too, or whatever we’re supposed to be calling it this week. There’s also some money for natural disaster recovery in there, which should probably be handled by FEMA. (Government Executive) While Congress and the Biden administration are still hammering out a budget deal for the upcoming fiscal year, the Biden administration is asking for a short-term funding measure with specific funding, totaling $47.1 billion, to support Ukraine, respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and monkeypox spread as well as help areas impacted by natural disasters. The White House said on Friday that a continuing resolution will be needed as the fiscal year ends on Sept. 30, however the administration is confident Congress will come to a bipartisan agreement. If no agreement is reached by the end of the fiscal year, then a government shutdown will begin just over a month from the midterm elections. “Today, as part of our prudent planning for the end of the fiscal year, we are providing technical assistance to Congress on a short-term CR,” which “provides guidance to lawmakers on funding and legislative adjustments that are necessary to avoid disruptions to a range of important public services,” wrote Shalanda Young, director of the Office of Management and Budget, in a blog post. One part of the problem with this situation is that we have blown through so much magical money over the past couple of years, measured in the trillions and largely blamed on the pandemic, that people have likely become numb. At this point, $47.1 billion dollars probably sounds like “no big deal.” Some of us are old enough to remember when a billion dollars sounded like a lot of money. We should be asking the White House to explain precisely how much of this batch of money would be going to Ukraine. We have given more cash and other forms of aid to the Ukrainians than just about every other country combined. Where is all of this money going? How many of the weapons we have sent over there actually made it to the battlefield to fight the Russians and how many of them mysteriously disappeared? We don’t know because we’ve never been told and nobody seems to be keeping track of any of this. Even CNN is admitting that the White House is unable to track any of this. Before the invasion began and Zelensky was turned into some sort of superhero action figure, his government was regularly being investigated for corruption and a lot of arms trafficking took place in Ukraine. Shouldn’t we have a better idea of what’s going on? Some of the rest of the money is supposedly going to “fight COVID.” But how long will we be footing those bills? Not that many people seem to be lining up for booster shots and our businesses and schools are allegedly almost entirely open. Is “fighting COVID” going to be the new magical phrase every time the White House wants to pluck the next fifty billion dollars from the magical money tree in the Rose Garden? The money for natural disasters seems fine, provided it goes to where it’s really needed. Of course, that’s a pretty big assumption these days when we can apparently spend any amount of money domestically provided you work the phrase “climate change” into the title of the bill. https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-project-veritas-exposes-nyc-charter-school-principal-discriminatory-hiring-practices?utm_campaign=64487 Project Veritas exposes NYC charter school principal discriminatory hiring practices Project Veritas has exposed another teacher who engages in discriminatory hiring practices and encourages the indoctrination of students.

The Associated Press reported the plea for help from the Windy City comes as only two buses arrived from Texas, totaling around 125 people who illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border and were then processed and released by Border Patrol. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) "said the city had not yet heard from any Texas officials and urged Texas’ Republican governor, Greg Abbott, to collaborate on a more humane treatment of the immigrants." Abbott added Chicago as a destination migrants can opt to go to for free in addition to Washington, D.C. and New York City to relieve stress on Texas border towns. Lightfoot accused Abbott of treating the migrants like cargo. "He tries to send human beings, not cargo, not freight, but human beings across the country to an uncertain destination. He is manufacturing a human crisis and it makes no sense to me." But according to NewsNation Ali Bradley reporter, migrants who have taken Texas buses said they felt respected throughout the process. https://twitter.com/i/status/1566929765885419524 - Play Video Well there you go, so all is well sanctuary cities!

Greatness was predicted for Tiafoe when he broke onto the scene eight years ago with his speed and power. He finally showed that skill set that had everyone agog when he was 16. And then he broke down in tears after match point when he achieved Monday’s milestone. Before the Round of 16 matchup, Tiafoe expressed confidence he could knock out Spanish legend Rafael Nadal and post the largest win of his as yet unfulfilled career. The 24-year-old American blasted through at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Labor Day before a manic, pro-Tiafoe crowd to upset Nadal with a blistering serve and forehand to make his first Open quarterfinals. Tiafoe, the 22nd seed, stunned No. 2 Nadal 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. It was the first time the 36-year-old Nadal lost to an American at a major in 17 years when he was beaten by James Blake.

"The team closely witnessed shelling in the vicinity of the ZNPP, in particular on 3 Sept. when the team was instructed to evacuate to the ground level of the Administrative Building," a report by IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi to the United Nations Security Council said. "Moreover, the team observed damage at different locations caused by reported events with some of the damage being close to the reactor buildings." Grossi’s report Tuesday is the first update the international community has received on Europe’s largest nuclear power plant since Russia invaded Ukraine in February. The ZNPP has seen repeated damage caused by shelling that has hit the plant’s power lines connecting it to Ukraine’s electrical grid as well as its structural integrity. In his report, Grossi detailed several events that have "significantly compromised" the plant’s "Seven Pillars" – a standard at which the IAEA bases its security guidelines – since the ZNPP was first occupied in early March by Russian forces. The IAEA chief laid out a litany of concerns relating to damages inflicted on the plant’s electrical system, harm caused to the Central Alarm Station and damage inflicted on a container where the radiation monitoring system is located. The IAEA report also "noted with concern that the shelling could have impacted safety related structures, systems and components, and could have caused safety significant impacts, loss of lives and personnel injuries." Both Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of targeting the nuclear power plant, though the IAEA report did not clarify who is responsible for the attacks on the ZNPP. https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2022/09/06/ho-hum-another-47b-for-ukraine-covid-whatever-n494624 Ho hum. Another $47B for Ukraine, COVID, whatever Hey, what’s a paltry fifty billion dollars between friends, right? That’s roughly the amount of money that the Biden administration is asking Congress to approve in a short-term spending bill. The request is being described by the White House as “technical assistance to Congress” in the form of a continuing resolution. Biden’s people would like to see this spending bill pass as a standalone measure before the debate over the big spending bill takes place. That needs to be done by September 30, barely five weeks ahead of the midterm elections. And where will this latest mountain of money be going? To Ukraine, of course. And also to fight COVID, which will apparently be an excuse that we use indefinitely from here on out. Oh, and monkeypox too, or whatever we’re supposed to be calling it this week. There’s also some money for natural disaster recovery in there, which should probably be handled by FEMA. (Government Executive) While Congress and the Biden administration are still hammering out a budget deal for the upcoming fiscal year, the Biden administration is asking for a short-term funding measure with specific funding, totaling $47.1 billion, to support Ukraine, respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and monkeypox spread as well as help areas impacted by natural disasters. The White House said on Friday that a continuing resolution will be needed as the fiscal year ends on Sept. 30, however the administration is confident Congress will come to a bipartisan agreement. If no agreement is reached by the end of the fiscal year, then a government shutdown will begin just over a month from the midterm elections. “Today, as part of our prudent planning for the end of the fiscal year, we are providing technical assistance to Congress on a short-term CR,” which “provides guidance to lawmakers on funding and legislative adjustments that are necessary to avoid disruptions to a range of important public services,” wrote Shalanda Young, director of the Office of Management and Budget, in a blog post. One part of the problem with this situation is that we have blown through so much magical money over the past couple of years, measured in the trillions and largely blamed on the pandemic, that people have likely become numb. At this point, $47.1 billion dollars probably sounds like “no big deal.” Some of us are old enough to remember when a billion dollars sounded like a lot of money. We should be asking the White House to explain precisely how much of this batch of money would be going to Ukraine. We have given more cash and other forms of aid to the Ukrainians than just about every other country combined. Where is all of this money going? How many of the weapons we have sent over there actually made it to the battlefield to fight the Russians and how many of them mysteriously disappeared? We don’t know because we’ve never been told and nobody seems to be keeping track of any of this. Even CNN is admitting that the White House is unable to track any of this. Before the invasion began and Zelensky was turned into some sort of superhero action figure, his government was regularly being investigated for corruption and a lot of arms trafficking took place in Ukraine. Shouldn’t we have a better idea of what’s going on? Some of the rest of the money is supposedly going to “fight COVID.” But how long will we be footing those bills? Not that many people seem to be lining up for booster shots and our businesses and schools are allegedly almost entirely open. Is “fighting COVID” going to be the new magical phrase every time the White House wants to pluck the next fifty billion dollars from the magical money tree in the Rose Garden? The money for natural disasters seems fine, provided it goes to where it’s really needed. Of course, that’s a pretty big assumption these days when we can apparently spend any amount of money domestically provided you work the phrase “climate change” into the title of the bill. https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-project-veritas-exposes-nyc-charter-school-principal-discriminatory-hiring-practices?utm_campaign=64487 Project Veritas exposes NYC charter school principal discriminatory hiring practices Project Veritas has exposed another teacher who engages in discriminatory hiring practices and encourages the indoctrination of students.

The Associated Press reported the plea for help from the Windy City comes as only two buses arrived from Texas, totaling around 125 people who illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border and were then processed and released by Border Patrol. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) "said the city had not yet heard from any Texas officials and urged Texas’ Republican governor, Greg Abbott, to collaborate on a more humane treatment of the immigrants." Abbott added Chicago as a destination migrants can opt to go to for free in addition to Washington, D.C. and New York City to relieve stress on Texas border towns. Lightfoot accused Abbott of treating the migrants like cargo. "He tries to send human beings, not cargo, not freight, but human beings across the country to an uncertain destination. He is manufacturing a human crisis and it makes no sense to me." But according to NewsNation Ali Bradley reporter, migrants who have taken Texas buses said they felt respected throughout the process. https://twitter.com/i/status/1566929765885419524 - Play Video Well there you go, so all is well sanctuary cities! Now it wouldn’t be a Garrison newsbrief if we didn’t talk about my favorite topic… sports! https://nypost.com/2022/09/05/frances-tiafoe-upsets-rafael-nadal-in-us-open-fourth-round/ American Frances Tiafoe upsets Rafael Nadal in US Open fourth round Frances Tiafoe talked a big game and delivered a bigger one. Greatness was predicted for Tiafoe when he broke onto the scene eight years ago with his speed and power. He finally showed that skill set that had everyone agog when he was 16. And then he broke down in tears after match point when he achieved Monday’s milestone. Before the Round of 16 matchup, Tiafoe expressed confidence he could knock out Spanish legend Rafael Nadal and post the largest win of his as yet unfulfilled career. The 24-year-old American blasted through at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Labor Day before a manic, pro-Tiafoe crowd to upset Nadal with a blistering serve and forehand to make his first Open quarterfinals. Tiafoe, the 22nd seed, stunned No. 2 Nadal 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. It was the first time the 36-year-old Nadal lost to an American at a major in 17 years when he was beaten by James Blake.

For the Ukrainians staffing the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, there's a clear and present danger in their work. In addition to the shelling just outside the station and Russian soldiers controlling the facility, workers are struggling with persistent anxiety and exhaustion. With the area under fire and the plant facing power cuts, are we in danger of disaster at Europe's biggest nuclear station? Guests: Paul Ingram Senior Research Associate at Cambridge University Miles Pomper Senior Fellow at James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies Ben Aris Editor-in-Chief at BNE IntelliNews
Take a look inside Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia power plant: Tom Collina talks with Dr. Cindy Vestergaard, senior fellow and director of the Nuclear Safeguards program at the Stimpon Center. She discusses the UN Inspector's visit to the Russia-controlled Zaporizhzhia power plant in Ukraine and why it matters. On Early Warning, Angela Kellett speaks with Dr. Angela Stent, a senior non-resident fellow at the Brookings Institution and the author of Putin's World: Russia Against the West and With the Rest. She discusses Mikhail Gorbachev's passing and the legacy he left behind
Britain's new Prime Minister Liz Truss met with the queen in Balmoral on Tuesday where she was officially appointed to office. In a speech at 10 Downing Street on Tuesday afternoon, Truss promised to tackle the energy crisis and the ailing economy. The risk of a nuclear accident at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia power plant is growing, according to a new report by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The report describes damage to the special building that houses fresh nuclear fuel and the solid radioactive waste storage facility. Also, on Sunday, roughly 62% of Chileans rejected a new constitution, written from scratch, to replace an old one imposed by the dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet 41 years ago. Plus, we hear about the legacy of the late Australian Aboriginal singer-songwriter Archie Roach.
Last week, a team of inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) arrived at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. The plant was seized by Russian forces in early May and has recently been the target of sustained shelling, increasing the risk of a nuclear disaster. The head of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, who is leading the inspection team, has reported that the integrity of the plant has been violated several times. Ian Sample speaks to Prof Claire Corkhill about what this could mean for Zaporizhzhia, what the risks are if the plant loses external power, and how a nuclear meltdown can be avoided.

The Justice Department says classified documents were “likely concealed and removed” from former President Donald Trump's Florida estate as part of an effort to obstruct the federal investigation into the discovery of the government records. A court filing made Tuesday night shows the FBI also seized 33 boxes containing more than 100 classified records during its Aug. 8 search of Mar-a-Lago and found classified documents stashed in Trump's office. Mississippi's capital city is struggling with multiple water problems — too much on the ground after heavy rainfall in the past week, and not enough safe water coming through the pipes for people to use. Parts of Jackson were without running water Tuesday because flooding worsened problems in one of two water-treatment plants. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Tuesday that the federal government is prepared to help Mississippi respond to the water crisis. United Nations inspectors are making their way toward Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Theirs is a long-anticipated mission that the world hopes will help secure the Russian-held facility in the middle of a war zone and avoid catastrophe. Israeli archaeologists recently unearthed the titanic tusk of a prehistoric pachyderm near a kibbutz in southern Israel, a remnants of a behemoth once hunted by early people around half a million years ago. A survey of people ages 16 to 40 finds that millennials and Generation Z follow the news but aren't that happy with what they're seeing. The study conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and the American Press Institute says 79% of people in that age group follow news daily, contrary to perceptions that many are tuned out. But only 32% say they enjoy following the news, down sharply from 53% in a similar study seven years ago. Mikhail Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union, has died at 91. He waged a losing battle to salvage a crumbling empire but produced extraordinary reforms that led to the end of the Cold War. The Central Clinical Hospital in Moscow said in a statement that Gorbachev died after a long illness. In sports, Rafael Nadal won in his U.S. Open return, Venus Williams lost her opener but will root on sister Serena, Alex Leatherwood and Josh Rosen are among those released on NFL's 53-man roster cutdown day, and the Dodgers reached 90 wins. Prosecutors have rested at R. Kelly's federal trial in Chicago after presenting two weeks of evidence in a case that accuses the singer of enticing underage girls for sex and producing child pornography. Kelly's legal team now gets its chance to attack the government's case. Closing arguments are expected to happen in the middle of next week. A surge in fighting on Ukraine's southern front is fueling speculation that the long-awaited Ukrainian counteroffensive to try to turn the tide of the war is underway. Ukraine claims it destroyed bridges and ammunition depots and pounded command posts in the Russian-occupied Kherson region, while Russia says it repelled the attack and inflicted heavy casualties. The mayor of Memphis, Tennessee, says the 2020 census undercounted his city by almost 16,000 residents, leading him to join other big cities in challenging the results of the once-a-decade head count in the U.S. Parents of children enrolled in Maine religious schools fought all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court for the state to treat tuition reimbursements the same as other private schools. But only one religious school has signed up to participate so far. Religious schools have been in no rush to apply after the state attorney general said they'd have to abide by the same state antidiscrimination laws as other schools. Following three straight monthly declines, U.S. consumer confidence rebounded in August as inflation moderated and gas prices fell. The Conference Board said Tuesday that its consumer confidence index rose in August to 103.2 from 95.3 in July. The number of open jobs in the United States rose in July after three months of declines, a sign that employers are still urgently seeking workers despite slowing economic growth and high inflation. There were 11.2 million open jobs available on the last day of July — nearly two jobs, on average, for every unemployed person. With abortion limits enacted or looming nationwide, an Ohio provider has been referring hundreds of patients to its sister clinic in Indianapolis. Their pregnancies exceed Ohio's six-week limit, passed when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The women are racing a political clock. Indiana recently passed a near-total abortion ban. It takes effect Sept. 15. People who drink tea may be a little more likely to live longer than those who don't. That's according to a large study of British tea drinkers published Monday in Annals of Internal Medicine. Scientists found two or more cups daily was tied with a modest benefit: a 9% to 13% lower risk of death from any cause. As sea levels rise and buildings by coasts are increasingly endangered, communities around the world are turning to the small but mighty oyster to help stabilize shorelines. By establishing oyster colonies along badly eroded shorelines, governments and volunteer groups are creating natural speed bumps designed to blunt the force of waves and slow down erosion. A new study finds that Greenland has more than 120 trillion tons of ice that can be thought of as zombie ice that's going to raise sea level globally by at least 10 inches. The study looks at the edges of Greenland's ice sheet, ice that authors say is starving and dead. It will unavoidably melt and increase sea level rise no matter what else happens with future carbon pollution. —The Associated PressSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

*) US warns Moscow not to divert power from Ukraine nuclear plant The United States has warned Russia against diverting energy from Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, which Kiev says was cut off from its grid. Ukraine's state energy operator said the nuclear plant held by Moscow's troops was disconnected from the national power supply. Kiev said the electricity produced at the plant belongs to Ukraine, and any attempt to redirect the plant to occupied areas is unacceptable. *) Türkiye, Finland, and Sweden to meet over Nordic NATO bid Türkiye, Finland, and Sweden are set to hold their first meeting on a permanent joint mechanism between the three countries over the Nordic countries' NATO bids. The permanent joint mechanism was established for the implementation of a memorandum signed by the three countries at the NATO summit in Madrid. With the memorandum, Finland and Sweden extended full support to Türkiye against threats to its national security. To that effect, Helsinki and Stockholm will not provide support to the terrorist organisations, namely YPG/PYD, and FETO. *) Algeria, France agree to open new page in relations Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron agree to opening a new page in bilateral relations following a meeting in Algiers. Tebboune said he discussed many issues with Macron on bilateral cooperation and ways to develop relations in a "constructive" way, hoping for "encouraging results." Macron said the two countries' complex and painful common history had prevented them from looking to the future. *) Pakistan declares national emergency as floods leave at least 1,000 dead Pakistan has declared a national emergency amid historic monsoon rains and flooding which has affected more than 30 million people over the last few weeks. Sherry Rehman, the country's climate change minister, called the situation a "climate-induced humanitarian disaster of epic proportions". The military was ordered to send troops to assist the civil administration with relief and rescue operations. *) Satellite plan set to end cell phone 'dead zones' SpaceX satellites are set to connect directly to T-Mobile cell phones to provide service access even in the most remote places beyond the reach of cell towers. The new service will work on existing cell phones from next year, and will utilise SpaceX's network of thousands of Starlink satellites in Earth's orbit. SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk said: "The important thing about this is that it means there's no dead zones anywhere in the world for your cell phone".

*) US attorney general says 'personally approved' Trump home search US Attorney General Merrick Garland has said he "personally approved" the dramatic raid on former American President Donald Trump's Florida estate. In a highly unusual move, he also requested the warrant justifying the search be made public — though he did not reveal the reason for the search. The Washington Post has reported that federal agents were looking for documents relating to nuclear weapons. It was not clear if such documents were recovered. *) IAEA chief warns of 'grave hour' at Ukraine nuclear plant The head of the UN nuclear watchdog has told the Security Council that the agency must be allowed to inspect Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia (zah-POH-reeja) nuclear plant. Rafael Grossi told an emergency meeting via video feed that fighting between Russian and Ukrainian soldiers near the site sparked a "grave" crisis. The clashes at and around Zaporizhzhia have led to urgent international calls for an end to fighting around the plant, the largest of its kind in Europe. *) Hostage drama at Beirut bank ends after armed man turns himself in A hostage standoff in which a gunman demanded a Beirut bank let him withdraw his trapped savings so that he could pay his father's medical bills ended seven hours later.

Ukraine and Russia are pointing the finger at each other for shelling at a Ukrainian nuclear power plant. While Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy called for a stronger international response to fresh shelling at the plant, reportedly by Russian forces, Russian occupation authorities said on Sunday a strike reportedly by Ukrainian forces had damaged administrative buildings inside the complex, AFP reports. The UN's nuclear watchdog has called for an immediate end to any military action near Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, warning of a "very real risk of a nuclear disaster". BBC Ukraine correspondent James Waterhouse spoke to Guyon Espiner.
While we focus on Russia and Ukraine, terrorists are playing a role under the radar - making it much more dangerous for America and its allies. The prospect of Russian forces detonating Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has already been named ‘the biggest act of terrorism of all time!' Indeed, there are ominous warnings coming out of Russia, such as “Why do we need a world if Russia is not in it?” and Putin's threat of “such consequences that you have never encountered in your history.”The ancient proverb, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” is much more complicated in today's world of nuclear weapons and there are too many friends and enemies with conflicts of interest wanting to direct the war. Biden made more than a ‘gaffe' in his State of the Union address. You will hear why it was actually a Freudian slip when he confused Iranians with Ukranians. In fact, the war is a distraction from the secret talks to revive the Iranian nuke deal. While Putin is threatening to nuke us all, the U.S. is relying on a Russian negotiator to help us with the Iranian deal. No, this makes no sense. Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi encouraged Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Iran, where people call for “Death to America!” on a daily basis, is even more of an enemy than Russia. Neither can be trusted. You will also hear about other ways that enemies and friends become harder to distinguish. Al Qaeda's latest magazine feature is “America Burns… A Year of Biden's Rule and a Succession of Setbacks.” Meanwhile, the terrorist organization Hezbollah warns pro-West Arab states that they should pay attention to the lessons of the Russia-Ukraine war, such as how America has abandoned Ukraine. And American basketball star,Brittney Griner, made the beyond-stupid mistake of bringing vape cartridges with hashish oil into Russia, so they now have her in custody. As tensions escalate, between a cognitively-challenged Biden and a paranoid Putin, our best hope may be in Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who is trying to mediate before World War III begins….
A fire is still burning at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe, following a Russian tank attack. Reports say the fighting has now stopped and radiation levels are currently normal. President Zelensky says it's now time for Europe to ‘wake up' to Putin's brutal military assault on Ukraine. As Russian forces advance in southern Ukraine amid the warning the “the worst is yet to come”, thousands of Russians are arrested in anti-war protests. Plus, the International Atomic Energy Agency is on ‘full alert' over a potential nuclear disaster in Ukraine, and how the terrible reality the world sees is never seen in Russia, as new video footage emerges of devastating Russian military strikes on a Chernihiv apartment complex.

There's a fire at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and at one point the country's foreign minister said the Russian army is “firing from all sides.” Fighting has now stopped, and background radiation levels are currently normal, according to plant spokesman Andrii Tuz. Graham Allison is a nuclear policy expert and a professor at Harvard Kennedy School. He joins AC360 to discuss how worried Ukrainians and the world should be. Plus, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the war in Ukraine is “going according to plan” as France gave a chilling warning that the “worst is yet to come.” Retired Gen.

Western foreign ministers are gathering in Brussels to assess their response to the war in Ukraine. Earlier the International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA said essential equipment at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was unaffected and there is no change in radiation levels after a fire. The IAEA's statement followed assurances from Ukrainian regulatory authorities. Flo Letoaba spoke to Romeo Kokriatski, a Managing Editor, New Voice Of Ukraine and co-host of Hyper Ukraine
