shouldn t have triggered an fbi search. let s go the evan perez this morning. good morning, erica. the trump team largely ignores a lot of the allegations that the justice department made in its bombshell filing a couple nights ago. they are saying it should not have been a surprise that there were classified documents found at mar-a-lago. they were considered personal and presidential records. i will read you part of what they say in the court fueliling. that the records contain sensitive information should never have been cause for alarm. they re saying that the justice department cannot be trusted to just look through the documents and sort out what may be presidential privilege, executive privilege, or at attorney/client privilege. they want to appoint a special master to look at the documents and set aside the things that may be considered privileged. so, we expect that this judge is going to take a look at this filing and really maybe ask some questions about what the
ambassador is arrested on the same day the uk announces new sanctions against the military regime. more calls for the government to step in as the cap on energy prices is set to triple, compared to a year ago. and we ll hear from a french politican who says britain is threatening france s coastal waters, by dumping raw sewage into the sea. we start in ukraine, where there are growing fears of a nuclear accident at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant which is held by russian forces. in the past few hours the nuclear plant has been temporarily disconnected from ukraine s electricity grid for the first time ever, because of a fire. the zaporizhzhia plant is the biggest in europe. it sits on the south bank of the dnieper river in the country s east, on the front line of the war. russian forces took the site just after the invasion of ukraine began. since then, it s been under moscow s control but run by a team of ukrainian staff. there are reports up to 9,000 ukrainians work
backup diesel generators because it was disconnected from the grid. and another key piece was the spent fuel on-site. zaporizhzhya keeps the waste in spent fuel pools. the inspectors will be checking to make sure the facilities are operating as normal. in many ways, it seems the russian army, vladimir putin, is holding this plant hostage. a demilitarized zone around it. but as melissa pointed out, the fact there s team members staying behind, that may help in terms of keeping the peace, for lack of a better term. do you think that s the main intent. one would hope so. it s clear what the russians are
to back those up, more batteries to back those up, water that can be used to be put back into the core of the reactor, or the fuel pools, and of course very new operating methods and oversights and vigilance airing more on the side of safety. i and oversights and vigilance airing more on the side of safety.- more on the side of safety. i want to turn to more on the side of safety. i want to turn to this more on the side of safety. i want to turn to this other more on the side of safety. i want to turn to this other theory - more on the side of safety. i want to turn to this other theory that i to turn to this other theory that the russians controlling it once too, in some way, divert power connected to its own grid. what do you make of that? it is connected to its own grid. what do you make of that? you make of that? it is a multi-billion you make of that? it is a multi-billion dollar - you make of that? it is a. multi-billion dollar asset. you make of that? it is a i multi-bi
these systems could be compromised, and then we really have to worry that that there could be a serious accident. right. and and to that point, how can a scenario like this be perhaps better mitigated? i think only one reactor of the six was running. if the reactors aren t running, are they safe or safer? or or not? well, even as a controlled shutdown of the reactor, it s not like you just click a switch and it s off. the fuel remains in the core for some time, for several weeks actually, until it s cool enough to take out and transport to a spent-fuel pool that s normally outside of the reactor building. and actually, spent fuel pools are underestimated. there are points of vulnerability in in the safety and security of a nuclear power plant. um, there the fuel there is
