Image
Russian strikes send nuclear power plant into emergency mode We are meant to care about nuclear safety. Each time we are rolling a dice and if we allow this to continue time after time then one day our luck will run out. Saporizia nuclear power plant is running on emergency diesels. The last line of defense. This is the sixth time. Let me say it again. This is the sixth time that the Saporizia nuclear power plant has lost all of sight power and has had to operate in this emergency mode. Let me remind you this is the largest nuclear power station in Europe operating for the sixth time under emergency diesel generators. What are we doing? How can we sit here in this room this morning and allow this to happen? This cannot go on. I am astonished by the complacency. Yes, the complacency. What are we doing to prevent this from happening?

Fleeing Russian soldiers on the rise as Ukraine troops advance in Bakhmut Now, the chief of Russia's Wagner mercenary group has said that President Zelensky was being deceptive after suggestions that Ukrainian forces had recaptured the city of Bakhmut.

Pat Cullen: Negotiations Need To Happen 'Urgently' | Good Morning Britain MUSIC Now, the head of the Royal College of Nursing Union is calling for a double-digit pay rise for nurses in England, which raises the stakes in their long-running dispute with the government.

Image
Windsor Framework has received a 'cautious welcome' in Northern Ireland All right, let's get the view now of Michelle O'Neill, because this time last week all the talk was of the PM's deal with the EU over the Northern Ireland protocol. This seemed to get a decent enough reaction from most parts, but of course the big question is what do the DUP do, the largest unionist party in Northern Ireland? They say they won't rejoin power sharing if they're not happy. Well, the largest party at Stormont is Shinfeng, and its leader there would have been First Minister. That's Michelle O'Neill.
