BBC World Service - Newsday, International concern mounts over Ukraine nuclear plant

Kyiv accuses Moscow of open nuclear blackmail over fighting near the Zaporizhzhia plant

President Zelensky of Ukraine has accused Russia of open nuclear blackmail over fighting near the Zaporizhzhia power plant.

There's been shelling on Europe's largest nuclear plant: Zaporizhzhia in Russian-occupied Ukraine - authorities in Kyiv and Kremlin have made accusation and counter-accusation over who is responsible but the UN Secretary-General has warned of catastrophic consequences if a demilitarised zone isn't put in place.

As $1.5bn in military assistance was pledged to Kyiv at the Copenhagen summit where 26 European defence ministers met, Estonia announces they are supporting Ukraine by refusing to give Russian tourists visas.

Firefighters are battling massive blazes in southern France as a 'monster wildfire' engulfs Bordeaux.
