BBC World Service - Weekend, Power is back at the Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant

The UN's nuclear watchdog (IAEA) says Ukraine's huge Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has begun receiveng power from the national grid once again. Shelling in the area had damaged power lines connected to the plant.

Also today, a powerful typhoon threatens millions in southwestern Japan; and head of states and foreign dignitaries from around the world have started to arrive in London to attend the Queen’s funeral on Monday.
