IAEA visit to Zaporizhia

The UN nuclear agency has expressed concern about the physical condition of the facilities at Ukraine's Zaporizhia nuclear plant due to ongoing fighting and shelling in the area. Grossi was speaking to reporters in Vienna following a visit to the Russian-controlled plant. The mission sought to survey operations and assess potential damage at the atomic plant. Grossi also dismissed allegations that his visit was restricted or manipulated, saying he saw everything he asked to see. The Kremlin says it views the inspector’s visit to Zaporizhia as very positive. Russia and Ukraine blame each other for the repeated shelling of the plant.

The US State Department approves potential sales of 1.1 billion dollars’ worth of arms to Taiwan, amid simmering tensions with China over the island.

The deal is announced in the wake of China’s military drills near Taiwan following a controversial visit to the island by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. China, considers Taiwan part of its territory, has blasted the visit. Beijing says all US exchanges with Taipei are acts of meddling and provocation. It says Washington is stirring separatist sentiments in Taiwan.

There are also dozens of empty folders labeled classified. The investigators are yet to clarify what happened to their contents. The FBI stormed Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home on August 8.
