the, the, the news life from believe europe and union lead us see a massive deed on age to ukraine. often many have lashed out to get in 5 minutes to victor. all bon paused before all bon withdrew his opposition and the 50 value in your package. false boats are coming up their post k, also across germany, as dakota, to walk a strike. hundreds of thousands of passengers are affected by 5 cancellations or the amazing front foot lane and other major airports. and i drove to imagine, so you all thought of these and all these, some spam titan water restrictions after 3 years with no significant drain. the

i did expand as you're welcome to the program. the e. u has agreed on a new 50000000000, your support package for ukraine at a summit in brussels. y'all have been council president shock. michelle said the dean would be in cheryl cote long tom predictable funding for ukraine. congress prime minister victor old bond has dropped weeks of opposition to the package. ukraine has faced increasing uncertainty over age funding with even fighting in the you. and the us holding up support the douglas brussels bureau chief alexandra phenomena is a bit. you need the summit and dw ukraine bureau chief nick connelly is in keys with analysis on the breakthrough. i started by asking alexandra how the you overcame opposition from big to old on as well according to diplomatic sources

and officials that we've been speaking with the uh, it was the run up to this meeting today with all the phone calls to victor alba and has been receiving from your p and leaders with a bilateral meeting, sweat, this breakfast, meeting this morning with the french italian and she, german leaders and all of them made it clear that it hungry was standing there alone with their locate that all the other members of the european union wanted to have disagreement and were ready to move ahead without hungry. so for victor opened, it was pretty clear that he was the price of late at the end of this question. and as to he's demands, he wanted to have this uh, uh, 8 for you. crane and the new facility outside of the padget. this is not gonna happen. he also wants to have a ride to v to the whole package every 2 years. for instance,

that is also not what was given to him according to our sources. there is, um, uh that we have to stay to this fixed uh, conclusion in the final communicate that to you. if you and commission will be issuing a report every year about the implementation of this age package to ukraine, there will be needed. could be a review of the whole package every 2 year. that's the diplomats. we've been speaking here with the told us that this is a lot of loss and it doesn't mean that hard. we would have a right to veto it. so it was basically, i think they clear fix that tongue. we were standing alone here. make a to you in key. what is the reaction being and ukraine to this dean find that even cost saving kind of here the relief through the telegraph channel through use wise here in ukraine. this was money that was equally white. so especially given

how slow things are going in america, and no real final clarity about whether america will return to supporting ukraine on the scale that it has. just to give you a sense of how big a deal this is. these 50000000000 euros are equivalent to 2 thirds of what to ukraine has received from all different international done. and since the beginning of this was of the semester, i think it was important distress. the where's the beginning of the boy? you had lots of small transfers way one with the lady wouldn't make such a big difference now that things become more professionalized and it's a little bit less chaotic. they have big trunk of the money and when those get held up, it's really a problem right now. you crane it's sending all the tax revenues it collects to the army. it's estimated spends over a $130000000.00 yours a day on the, on the, on the ministry a day, and all the money to pay pensions, pay wages to keep the country running that is all coming from outside. so this is really a huge deal and is basically more than the 40000000000 euros that you're ukraine needs. just as you see, this is money that's coming over for years, but it makes

a big difference. alexandra. and so the you need is weren't able to convince the victor all bon, to drop his opposition, but still even funding for a hungry remains frozen despite victor or bonds request for it's released. can you tell us more about that? yes, we talking here about about 20000000000 the euro stat speak to obama. would like to get from the european union money that was frozen over the rule of law of concerns with regard to ukraine. for instance, concerns about discrimination against algebra, q, q, community in hungry and those funding, those funds, this funding is remaining of frozen. and so according to our sources, the leaders today didn't speak about that. so there was no deal behind closed doors that'd be to open, could get those funds s at when he agrees to the

financial aid for ukraine. however, there will be a reference to this whole rule of law of mckinney's, and that is quite new into europe. and union in the final communicate because that was something that victor, all one also wanted to, i was speaking about that this may kinase has to be used in a propulsion that way proportional way. and that is probably something that we are going to find as a reference and the conclusion spots with regard to the funding. it is remaining frozen for hungry for now, nic and key. if you call this a big deal, i'm yeah, and it's coming at a time and ukraine has had few successes on the front line. what would it mean for the country? british, if you just look at the news here at what people are talking about, it is old pretty grim. we have the power struggle. see me between presidents lensky and his top general for there is illusion. and you have the good luck in the united

states, and there is a real growing sense here in ukraine that officer slows start with the us and to so d k to less extent were very fast in sending ukraine weapons and money at the beginning of this rule that now finally the you is realizing what needs to be done is getting kind of a handle on things and helping the numbers. we've had calls from olaf schultz in berlin, a warning other european countries to not think they've done enough that they need to keep on cranking up that production of weapons. idols provide more in the way of money. so there's a real sense that you're not increasingly thinking about ukraine's the future member has realized that this is a will on it's to step in its neighborhood. i wonder that need to do more for the the blue is you can bureau chief, nick connelly in cave and dw is brussels military alexander phenomena reporting from brussels. thank you so much for your vote. thank you. and russia and ukraine have completed a prisoner swap that sold the release of $200.00 captives on each side. the deed was broken by the united arab emirates, and it comes just

a week after the russian plane was shot down close to the ukrainian border, reportedly driving home dozens of ukraine in prison as a fall to our home . at last the i'm i'm so making alone a way to to call but yeah, yes. yes. oh, daddy, it's me. yeah. i've been exchange, you know, i'm in ukraine. i'm alive. you're everything. okay. with me, the cool relief also on the other side of the board to the i'm very glad i want to dislike. i don't i was i've never had such feelings. this is our own land and home like this is very good. this is the 5th test prison exchange

finalize of class. but police outside of the use. somebody in brussels, small scale on those have been demonstrating across europe, proven red tape and forwarding prices. they use fence tens of billions of yours on agricultural subsidies, but most go to the biggest produces humans with the rebels here. they have it back to us navy ship and a bunch of the best one in the red sea. the pentagon said is a cruise besides targeting it's worship was intercepted. the whole piece had been attacking shipping. a victim is linked to each rattle. actor like baldwin has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter over the fatal shooting on a food set in 2021 sentiments on prefer lina hutchins was killed when a pistol baldwin was using, went off. similar charges against the actor was dropped last year. but prosecutors say they have new forensic evidence west side story, and i'm told active as great that time back has gone on trial in london over time. and protest sandburg is jobs with breaching public order outside an oil and gas

conference. last year. she has pete of not cmt, but faces a fine of nearly 3000 euros if convicted to add in germany, airports account of the stuff out on strike, forcing airlines to cancel or delay over a 1000 flights. major airports, including berlin and frankfort, unaffected. the workers' union body has gold 24. i'll strike depressed that demands for better pay and benefits around $200000.00 bessengers all facing disruption. walking off the job at berlin's international airport. 6 security staff joining strike action at major airports nationwide. their union is demanding a pay rise and over time bonuses to walk out follows rounds of field negotiations. i did advise in news employers are not prepared to sold

a whole that inflation has created and employees wallets. got a lot of the people who were at the airport today are employees themselves. i team so they know how important it is to have regular p rise is because otherwise life is just no longer affordable on hundreds of services had been cancelled with security checkpoints closed. travelers can't get through to board flights while i'm stuck here in a day. so i'm kind of sad, i want to go home. i mean it's are right, but that's such for me. i'm private companies who employ the security staff have so far rejected their demands as too expensive on more negotiations are scheduled for travel plans could once again be grounded if the 2 sides failed to reach a deal and the deputies, christie flood zone is that german is busiest airport in frank fab hardly actually told me how the strike is affecting travel a ride. well this morning on,

i'm standing in one of the major departure halls here and this morning on the sign you can see behind me we saw just dozens and dozens of canceled flights. but as you can see now, they've just cleared the board completely to give you some idea of how things are going here at frankfurt today. most of the departures have been cancelled. love times by which is germans by being carrier, had encouraged people to stay home today. once very announce the strikes, then you will not get on your flight because the security personnel are not there to check passengers to check luggage. people can knock it on their flights. still, many people did show up anyways and there queued up in mind hoping to be re booked for tomorrow. so you said most of boxes have been can so does these uh, cancellations also affect the arrivals. so uh, as of the last information,

the i had arrivals here at frankfurt um are still expected. um also if you are doing a transfer flight, uh there is an expectation that you could make a transfer flight though. uh the airports were encouraging people to expect delays there. um, but we've also heard that at some other airports here in germany. um uh, even arrival flights. uh what you're asking about had been cancelled. and this is because the airlines actually didn't see a purpose and letting the plane arrive, if it can't be re filled with passengers. so it was making more sense to them to just cancel the flight completely. so some arrivals were indeed effective. so christie, why exactly? also go to workers tracking right, well they're basically asking for higher uh, hourly pay and for a better bonus system. uh now they were given an offer which they have rejected saying that it just doesn't reflect the reality of the cost of living. but many

these workers are dealing with. we saw a major group of starkers going through the hall area today bagging on a drum. one of them told me, i said i'm on government assistance. they're saying that they're super crucial to the airline industry and they're demanding better pay to reflect what they see as being but difficult in criminal work that they contribute. and negotiations are set to continue on this next week, or leave it back or stick lesson at franklin airport. thanks so much. the bosses of america stop social media companies have faced stuff questioning by lawmakers in washington. they accuse source of media giants like take talk. x discords, snap and mental health not doing enough to protect children from adventure. you're smart. took it back. who controls? facebook and instagram gave a public apology and announced new protection measures. last. we also said social media is, are on balance. not com folder young people's mental health and fat through

from medica, back to europe and particularly spain bell thought of these in the north east of the country have declared a drought emergency for the city of boston, luna, and the surrounding area some 6000000 people face type water restrictions as a 3 year drive period shows no sign offending after being submerged for more than 60 years. these media will charge reappeared. it is now a symbol of 3 years of drought. that's how sparks catalonia, the lack of rain has got reservoirs to record low levels. the drought these that we

didn't across the region. the ski resorts open this window or how fleet those know on the slopes. let's say we create a very critical situation. we could be very critical because if there is no snow but do if it doesn't rain and there is no stall, the reservoirs instead of growing, getting smaller and smaller go. so under lucien campaign to reduce water waste started months ago, the government explained how critical the situation has become the, the president, it measures 3 guard when what the reserves dropped below the 16 percent threshold. the new measures will affect citizens and businesses swimming pools, including those used by hotels and come grounds cannot be repealed. the only support center scan for 3 of them if they reduce their total amount of what their consumption many have already prepared for their restrictions.

the size of the shot to are in the profession of the machine press. the duration is the, the stuff from the reach of the showers, the set time as possible in a few towns where the defendant and when's depths have been shut off for some bones . a father of 3 explains the headaches embroidered up and there's an autumn on the washing clothes. i was looking down over the counter watch to choose and uh, there's nothing wrong. i'm not even going to stay in washing machine. you can't do the p because there's no water in while you bring clouts, don't show up what the restrictions we keep getting tighter. when many fewer things we get even worse the summer during nobody'd ever bought a lot of toys. and we also find that to vote for us, and we saw osborne from the w's environmental department. welcome to you about laura to you fast, because you find that about how bad things in terms of these,

with these restrictions on water usage. so that these restrictions would come, has been in the air for some time. people have been prepared. there are some areas, a few towns that had already heavy restrictions, but now it will affect $6000000.00 people on the metropolitan area of barcelona will be included. so just to give you an example of how severe things are when i last went through our slow, now over at christmas. and the 1st thing i could see was a big billboard that would show and a day with the large you, you are entering a severe drought situation. so please be aware of the water consumption that you do over the space. because and we have a big problems here. and now the government, after consulting a committee of scientists, has decided to enter the 1st space of an emergency plan. and these includes

a wide range of measures which we can see now. and in that graphic citizens will be allowed to access 200 meters per day. this is more than average in dbi the way use, but it will affect also shops and small businesses or their measures vari across sectors. the words affected is agriculture because crop irrigation will be produced by 80 percent less productivity is we have a 50 percent cut industries at 25 percent. and then recreational activities such as what their amusement parks also phase a 25 percent cut emergency measures. if i think 6000000 people know less louise, 3 years and a dry spell, why so long? why are we seeing this? i mean, this comes to the global warming, but we are seeing across the world. the temperatures are rising on, particularly in regions like the mediterranean, which is actually getting hot to quicker than other regions. this is leading to

heat waves that are becoming more extreme hotter for longer. the water is about pricing from the us, which is leaving the us dry, and the rainfall is just not pulling back down in these regions. that means the beast routes fine to say, are going to get worse, and they are going to happen more frequently, particularly in regions like this. and that's why we did end up talking about water restrictions. i mean, you listed those, what are the restrictions in quite a bit of detail, just the one back uh lower of it. how long will residents be prepared to accept this freshening these water and restrictions? especially if this situation to, to that it's not for me, it's difficult to know how much patients citizens will have. what do we have seen is that the government is talking about the collective effort, asking everybody to be on board. and of course many businesses have already been taking measures. for example, the hotels have changed the water in their swimming pools. they've sold the water. some farmers have stopped producing certain fruits that require a lot of water,

for example of tomatoes. what are my loans? but the ones you see, your top being shut off or you go to your ass sports facility, and you cannot take a shower discount, get the be more difficult. i can imagine it's very disconcerting when you have a top that doesn't give any water. but louise, all the, any technical solutions available that i don't know, pardon me if it's a dumb question, but that, that generate fresh water? well, there are some technologies that are being used in the region already. catalonia has a several, the solid ation plants, for example, which are used to take salt out of the water to make it usable, then as drinking water over agriculture. the problem with this is that it's massively energy intensive, which obviously makes the problem worse because it's leading to the emissions that are causing global warming in the 1st place is also very expensive. but there's also be a technology of artificial intelligence which is helping form is figure out exactly

where they need to be using the very left to go to that they have the model mission intelligence isn't that we leave it there for the time being, lose all spawn from the the environment and allowed to y'all's from the news desk. thanks so much for joining us. are back to our top story now because the e u has agreed on a new 50000000000 euro support package for ukraine at the summit in brussels. your artifact concert, present shopping michelle's at the dean would ensure code long term predictable funding for ukraine. hungry as prime minister victor hold on has dropped weeks of opposition to the package. ukraine has faced increasing uncertainty over age funding with in fighting in the us in the e. u. and the us holding up support the demos, brussels military products under a phone number. and these are the in you need assignment and dw ukraine bureau chief and economy using keith with analysis on the breakthrough. i started by

asking alexandra how the e u overcame opposition from big to old on, as well according to diplomatic sources and officials that we've been speaking with the uh, it was to run up to this meeting today with all the phone calls to to victor alba. and has been receiving from european leaders with a bilateral meeting swear this breakfast, meeting this morning with the french italian, n 2 german leaders. and all of them made it clear that the hungry was standing there alone with their locate. that all the other members of the european union wanted to have disagreement and were ready to move ahead without hungry. so for victor opened, it was for it to clear that he was surprised to late at the end of this question. and as to he's demands, he wanted to have for this uh, uh, 8 for you. crane and the new facility outside of the padget. this is not gonna

happen. he also wants to have a rides to v to the whole package every 2 years. for instance, that is also not what was given to him according to our sources. there is that we have to stay to this fact conclusion in the final communicate that to you a p and commission will be issuing a report every year about the implementation of this age package to ukraine. there will be needed could be a review of the whole package every 2 year. that's the diplomats we've been speaking here with told us that this is a lot of loss and it doesn't mean that's how we would have a right to veto it. so it was basically, i think they clear fix that tongue. we were standing alone here. make a to you in key. what is the reaction being and ukraine to those dean?

find that even cost savings kind of hear the relief through the telegram channel through the thing. use wise here in ukraine. this was money that was equally wasted, especially given how slow things are going in america, and no real final clarity about whether america will return to supporting ukraine on the scale that it has. just to give you a sense of how big a deal this is. these 50000000000 euros are equivalent to 2 thirds of what to ukraine has received from all different international dentist. since the beginning of this was the semester, i think it was important to stress the where's the beginning of the boy? you had lots of small transfers way one with the lady wouldn't make such a big difference now that things become more professionalized and it's a little bit less chaotic. they have to go to the money and when those get hold up, it's really a problem right now. you crane it's sending all the tax revenues it collects to the army. it's estimated spends over a $130000000.00 yours a day on the, on the, on the ministry a day, and all the money to pay pensions, pay wages to keep the country running that is all coming from outside. so this is

really a huge deal and is basically more than the 40000000000 euros that you're ukraine needs just as yields sufficient money that's coming over for years. but it makes a big difference. alexandra and so the you need is weren't able to convince victor all bon to drop his off position, but still you funding for a hungry remains frozen despite victor. all bonds request for it's released. can you tell us more about that? yes, we talking care about about 20000000000 the euro stats victor oberon would like to get from the european union money that was frozen over the rule of law of concerns with regard to ukraine, for instance, concerns about discrimination against algebra, q, community in hungry and those funding those funds, this funding is remaining of frozen and so according to our sources, you leaders today didn't speak about that. so there was no deal behind closed doors

that'd be to open, could get those funds s at when he agrees to state funding. and we'd go back to alexandria later. but right now, let's take your life to brussels, where german johnson the old i've sold, is speaking off to the boss that 50 beginning rose a package for ukraine. and in the past, i'm going to you and read hard times. and this is the success because in the last the days and weeks we made an effort effort to enable a quick decisions about the things that we had to discuss and negotiate. my conclude, we succeeded in taking a joined decision on the multi annual financial framework of the year. it'll be in the union and the revision. and the, this is, that includes a clear commitment regarding the support financial support for the budgets of the ukraine. in the coming years, we're looking to add um,

12000000 years per annum. uh, in total, $50000000000.00 euro. it's a good message for the citizens of ukraine. so we're challenge great to do to the war of aggression, but it's also a good sign for the european union, which shows you and meet in the sunny thirty's and unity. um, it wasn't clear it has to be for me, it has to be a decision. uh, taken by all 27 member states where we have to stand together as a family, as a union and to take us as a decision together. so a good message, a good day for the european union and a good one for message for ukraine and to summit up it was a very successful summit. i'm happy that many length of contribution and supported us and i'm a.
