Power is back at Zaporizhzhia’s nuclear plant

A review of the week with the latest news.

The continuous shelling over the past few months have damaged the power lines connected to the plant. The nuclear plant, the biggest in Europe, is under control of the Russians. Its reconnection to the national grid allows its six reactors to cooldown preventing the risk of meltdown.
Also, as the US makes political moves to increase its support to Taiwan, we explore the what’s the state of the relationship between Washington and Beijing; and we learn of a man’s determination to transport a whole pipe organ from Canada to England and how the journey become material for a movie.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Patricia Cumper, Jamaican-born writer, playwright and theatre director based in London; and Sergey Radchenko, an expert on the history of the Cold War and Professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in the United States.
