From Morning Report, 8:21 am on 12 September 2022

The last reactor at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in Ukraine has been shut down as fears of a nuclear disaster mount.

Work has completely stopped because the risk of further damage to its powerlines remains high.

Ukraine's military meanwhile is claiming that its forces have retaken over three thousand square kilometres of territory in 48 hours.

BBC correspondent James Waterhouse spoke to Māni Dunlop from Kyiv.
