hey, european union leaders say russia's war effort will take a significant financial hit after they agreed to ban most of its oil. they reached a compromise to overcome objections for member states, which are more dependent on russian energy and diplomatic editor, james, based as this report from russell's european leaders arriving in brussels for a crucial meeting on ukraine. at the start of the crisis, they'd surprised many with unity and strong sanctions. but a 6th package of measures including a ban on oil from russia, had been stalled for nearly a month because of objections from the e. u leader with the friendliest relations with vladimir putin. even at the start of the meeting, hunger is recently reelected. prime minister victor oberon seemed opposed the whole agreement. of course, what the problem is, you know that we are in
12:03 pm
a very difficult situation. ah, basically because of the responsible behavior of the commission, the head of the commission didn't address such criticism, but she to suggest it, there wouldn't be a breakthrough during this meeting to. we're not there yet, but it has matured for shawn. my expectations are and know that it will be solved in the next 48 hours as ever the formal sessions at these summits are close to the public, but president zalinski is off his release part of his speech when he joined the meeting by video link and that is to my problem in this woody kitch wire. finally, all corals in europe must end it internal disputes that only encourage russia to put more pressure news on the whole of europe. now that the sick sciences package must be agreed and seen that it must be effective or including oil, to make russia fill the consequences of what is doing to ukraine and the whole of europeans that they're. it's not clear where the presence lensky is, intervention change things, but there was a through soon afterwards,
12:04 pm
the final sanctions package agreed. but this is not the original oil been proposed by the european commission. it's been watered down. it now covers just russian oil that is shipped into the u naught. oil that is pumped in by pipeline, an important concession for a landlocked country like hungary. well after midnight and brussels on the european commission president, along with the president of the european council. we're back to mark the fact that a deal had finally been done. thanks to this arm, cowen so should now be able to finalize a ban on almost 90 percent of all russian oil inputs by the end of the year. this is an important step forward. the remaining 10 percent on these one, we will soon return to the issue of these remaining 10 percent pipeline oil. the leaders here also know that wallace action punishes russia. the economic consequences will likely be felt hard inside the

12:06 pm
independent newcomers who won seats in this month's election, have marched to parliament from they route port. their election was born out of the protest movement that followed 20 twenty's port explosion, and the economic crisis followed, as kato corresponded. i'd say now hold out who is outside parliament in beirut? let's start with the the speaker because that's exactly what's happening now in parliament where you are, i believe he's been reelected. talk us through the concerns a yes. i just finished counting the ballots speaker and be a very, a man who has been in this position since 1992. that's 3 decades has been elected. but this time around it's different. in past elections, he managed to secure the votes of the majority of m. p. 's. you know, this is a 128 member legislature. he used to receive more than 90,
12:07 pm
sometimes more than 100 votes. this time around $65.00, he just made it because you need 50 plus one of the m p 's who are in attendance which really shows in one way or another that the cracks have started to emerge in the system. the political establishment, which has been running this country for decades, even during the civil war 30 years ago, maybe burn himself, was a leader of a sectarian militia during the war. so bottom line is yes, there has been some changes in the elections, but the political establishment there is still very much in control. lebanese style compromises, if you like. and when we say that, we mean they compromise over power sharing between the different groups. in short, him the 65 votes needed, but undoubtedly, that is a symbolic blow. as they tell us a bit more about these newcomers that have just marched from the porch to
12:08 pm
parliament. how much influence are they going to have? well really, it's the 1st time in lebanon, it's post war, post civil war politics that you had new comers, men and women winning, not just one feet, but a handful of seats. and if they forge and form the right alliances with other opposition groups, they do have a chance to be king makers. but at the end of the day, they are so weak, they will have to speak in one voice. they are saying now that they will speak in one voice, but it's still too early to see what sort of influence they have. and they know they're up against a very strong and entrenched political establishment which really controls the country. they control the security forces just a short while ago. there was a lot of celebratory gunfire. and these are supporters of birdie who just took to the streets and, and fire their weapons in front of the army, which nobody really does anything about. and this is what the new comers are hoping to achieve, the rule of law, democracy, and lebanon. they want the states because how this country has been run as you have
12:09 pm
the secretary and parties who are stronger than the state. and they really are the link between the people and the state. people have to go through them to be able to benefit from the state. but this country is falling apart. the economy, the state, there's a breakdown of services, no electricity, no water, and many fear the stuff the school hasn't changed from this election. so we are not going to see ethanol mac recovery in the near future. so are we expecting anything else from parliament today? will anyone else be elected? well, they're electing the deputy speaker of parliament, but it's really what comes next. because right now with the election of the speaker, a constitutional process has begun. they need to form a government and that has proven to be very difficult even at the time when parliament was not so fragmented and polarized as it is today, a lot of power sharing deals among the different factions and the president needs to call for consultation. they need to find
12:10 pm
a prime minister who is ready to work with all sides. this could take months and there is a presidential elections in october as well. so many fear a prolonged political vacuum with further exacerbate the economic collapse in this country. people are struggling. the majority of the population is for their savings, are trapped and banks, and like i said, the states cannot provide electricity and people do not have enough money to, to reach to, to have alternative sources of energy. like private generators. people do not have water running water in their homes. hospital stay that they can no longer function because of the collapse in the local currency. there has been a brain drain, doctors, nurses leaving. so you have the situation, but you have the same political establishment controlling at least 1990 seats and they have proven not only they didn't want to bring about change, they weren't willing, they were obstructing radical reforms that are needed. structural reforms and economic reforms, because if they do that,
12:11 pm
they lose control over the states resources and they become weak because a strong state does not work in their interest. so people are not very hopeful, but at the end of the day they say radical change does not happen overnight. there is a small crack and we will keep pushing say no, hold on there for us in buried. thank you. current of ours restrictions in china's to biggest city, the finally easy millions of people who been stuck in doors. shanghai is lifting its 2 month, locked down from midnight on wednesday. many businesses can reopen and they will be fewer restrictions on going out and working in beijing. james museums. yes. is all reopening, but with limits on visitors, katrina, you have the latest from asian this is the busiest this area has been for weeks where in beijing he's been young district, the biggest district in the city where people have been told they no longer need to work from home,
