germany announces a $65000000000.00 package to deal with the soaring energy costs. after russia's invasion of ukraine. we report on what you crate aims to achieve, but it's counter offensive against washing forces in the south. photos in chile, a having their say on a new constitution that supports us say is one of the walls most progressive and angry, flood victims and pakistan. so they've been abandoned by their leaders and the rich . and i'm sorry how much with all the sport, including well found the dog stays on track for 23rd grand slam title is spaniard brushed aside his opponent to reach the us open port ground. ah, we'll stop. and in germany where the government has announced a 65000000000 dollar support package to help people and businesses cope with
4:02 pm
soaring inflation. chancellor olaf sholtes says that a windfall tax on energy companies will be used to keep down the price of gas. the package includes increased welfare benefits, subsidized fairs on public transport. he insists that germany has sufficient fuel reserves to last. the northern winter looks understood to them in a lucille, germany is standing together in a difficult time uses. we will get through this difficult time as a country side, we have made all the decisions to make sure that our energy supply is secure, even though we are challenged by what russia is doing session. and we have made all the decisions that are necessary to make sure we link on that no citizen is left alone does feel well. speaks while to 0 is gabriel elizondo in keith in just a moment. but 1st, let's go to dominic cane who's in berlin for historic. tell us more about this package of measures the chancellor shots as announced
4:03 pm
what the chancellor is trying to do after 22 hours of tough discussions with his coalition partners is present a we feel your pain sort of plan to his country's citizens, to say to them we realize that inflation is rising, that the cost of living is rising very seriously in many parts of his country is trying to do whatever is possible to alleviate that. so we see the idea of cheaper public transport has to be said. that is to a certain extent, the continuation of a scheme that was in for the summer months that that last just a few days ago we will see something similar, but we're more expensive which will come into place. we also see one off payments for students and for pensioners. crucially, what we see is a wind fall tax now is worth emphasizing that this windfall tax is not going to raise the $65000000000.00 we were talking about there. that is that this package includes it's going to raise says the finance minister here, a double digit,
4:04 pm
some of billions. and it is also worth making the point. this is not some measure that's just been decided upon in the course of the last few weeks. germany has been committed to what's called a global minimum corporate tax of 15 percent on large corporations for some considerable time. what this package is about now is accelerating that plan bringing it into force as soon as possible. and one final caveat, this is not guaranteed, yes this, this government has a majority in the lower house of parliament, but it doesn't in the upper house of parliament. now it may well be that some of these measures don't necessarily go through the way the government wants them. doric ukraine's private esther just happens to be there in germany today to what's on his agenda. yes, the ukrainian prime minister is missing the had a state in the head of government. that's frank radish tie the president and all of
4:05 pm
shots, the chancellor. it's part of a journey that's going to take him to brussels on monday. but here in berlin right now, while 2 issues really stand out, the 1st being, what sorts of further munitions weapons might germany be able to provide his country. but also there is the thorny issue to some here in germany, of the denial of visas to russians wishing to come to the e. u to germany. and that sort of thing as a problem for the ukraine and prime minister is there may be sympathy from the german government apropos those 2 particular issues that we know that the defense minister has already said that the german armed forces are in the position now of reaching a point where they will no longer be able to give that much more to the ukrainians in order to guarantee german defense security. and then in so far as the visa issue is concerned, we know mr. shots is not particularly for this idea of a total ban on visas for russians coming to the e. u. so as i say, sympathy,
4:06 pm
certainly for mr. shots, but not necessarily the sort of approval that perhaps is the ukrainian prime minister might wish out. is there a started cane reporting live there from berlin? let's go to ukraine's capital then i'll deserves gabriel. elizondo is in that kid. what's ukraine saying about the energy crisis that is affecting europe? well, ukraine is worried about it for sure, because it's clear from their view and for many views of many capitals in europe that russia is deliberately limiting the supply of energy to europe as a way to punish european countries that are supporting ukraine. and this is clearly caught the attention for a long time now of keith and they are trying to address it and address it had on a keith is suggesting that they will provide some excess energy that they have access supply to germany,
4:07 pm
to help offset shortages or potential shortages in germany this winter, and i say, well, how does ukraine have excess energy? the reason is because they're using less energy here this year. so far, primarily for 2 reasons. number one, the exodus of millions of ukrainians that have left big cities or left the country because of russia's invasion, but also because the ukrainian industry and economy has slowed down considerably over the last 6 months. and therefore, the country is simply using less energy. so ukraine has an excess and the prime minister said he will be talking to his german counterparts about to trying to divert some of the ukrainian energy to germany, to help offset some of those shortages there. but in terms of the fighting in ukraine, we know that ukraine has long been asking it's, it's european eyes for more sophisticated weapons. what will ukraine's prime
4:08 pm
minister be asking if germany's chancellor shoals today? well, in a word probably for everything cause ukrainian military officials say they need everything. however, when it comes specifically to germany, there's most likely going to be re a request for more anti aircraft tanks, anti aircraft artillery systems, howitzers, and then ammunition is key as well. these are thing all of this is what a germany has provided to ukraine in the past. and what a ukraine says. they are hoping to potentially get more from germany moving forward . the big key here is, is that this counter offensive happening in the car soon re her shown region in the south. this is a ukrainian offensive, it's one of the 1st major offenses by ukraine in the last 6 months doing offensive operations. you need much different kinds of weaponry than you need when you're
4:09 pm
doing defensive operations. so not just from germany, but to ukraine is also going to be looking for weapons, mean more weapons in the united states, the united kingdom as well. and again, i spoke to one a ukrainian military official just a few hours ago and i said, do you need more stuff? do you need more precision weapons? and he said, yes, i said what exactly? and he said, what i just said before he said everything is what we need and we need it. now. how does arrows gabriel elizondo reporting live from ukraine's capital? keith gave many thanks. indeed. here with the news out from odyssey or a still to come on the program, he's in the real estate you. donald trump, hits out of president jo by be during his 1st rally since the f b. i searched his florida home and will be reporting from liberia, where food prices arising so fast that the un is warning of a crisis. but in sport of the gold from barcelona do come up with a brilliant form continue. so we'll have
4:10 pm
a little bit later to the spanish league later in the program. ah, falls open in chile as voters decide whether to adopt a new constitution of 15000000 chileans will take part in a referendum to replace the 1980 constitution which was approved under the military leader augustus pinochet's. the new document is being described as one of the worst progressive in the world. it'll guarantee abortion rights and protections for indigenous people of the environment. our latin america editor, lucille newman reports from santiago for the 1st time, every chilion over the age of 18 will be able to weigh in on a new road map for their future. like most constitutions, chilies, new draft, charter was horn hold of upheaval. millions of chileans, disenchanted with their institutions and decades of social inequality,
4:11 pm
launched an unprecedented social uprising. 3 years ago. peace was we established when nearly 80 percent of citizens voted to do away with what many saw as the roof of all evil, the dictatorship era constitution. gilbert catholicism needed the processor to lend not having i think the great marriage at the chile and process was to have transformed a very disruptive moment that threatened to destroy our institutional order and turn it into a democratic constitutional solution. the so result is a draft charter which is approved in today's referendum would harold, a new political, social, and economic europe for this country. september 4th marks another extremely significant election at gillian history. and they are both connected 52 years ago. so i bought, i, in there was voted in as the world's 1st democratically, and that didn't marks as president to be overthrown. 3 years later in a military coup, led by general egleston, no shame,
4:12 pm
the architect of chili's current constitution. the new charger is a major shift from p machines, free market model. it would guarantee social rights like education, health, and pensions, and give recognition and autonomy to indigenous people. it's also the world's 1st constitution to guarantee gender parity and respect for nature. it's a good addition that takes into account climate change and that gets very strong, a provisions for the protection of, of the environment it's, it's very oriented to sustainable development. i think that's very, a gutting edge aspect of the, of the text. ah, but there are many who believe that lift when delegates who drafted it went too far and imposed a text that doesn't reflect the concerns of the political center and conservatives, laquanta fin. another year said constitutions cannot be life to where, right? they have to represent people's interests,
4:13 pm
regardless of ideology. that's why those who will vote against the constitution are demanding the process start all over again. it's like baking a cake. if the cake comes out flat and it's burned, you don't try to fix it. or you can cry, but it will never be a good kick. so you throw it away. even supporter is agree that the new charter must be improved, suggesting that whatever the outcome chili's constitutional process isn't over yet . see a newman al jazeera santiago, claudio winters is a political science professor at dig. a will tell us university. he joins us now. live from santiago, professor, good teddy with us. why went on the face of it, this new constitution seems such a good thing? are we expecting the result to be so close? i'm writing because a be shown between those who walk on
4:14 pm
saturday. we are not trying to support these one. or if you say yes, another group that is supporting all these issues that you refer before environment right? more a stronger role for the state in the way to sort of stay, for instance, a so we're out of the bank in society. what are the issues in particular though that are putting people off contained within the constitution, the proposed constitution? whether to be one of the content, the center for some reason, like, you know, right, became a very relevant a and the bad issue between really a related to become a meeting for may some day rejection companies that support a lot of claims that we're not to and that a work became very stallion like,
4:15 pm
for instance, that the state will own all the house and then you have in that kind of the lies became and running the campaign. and the implies a lot of the way to validate misinformation and say, news. so what happens if this proposed, the constitution is rejected today, a political support and the agreement, we need a political lead that in the constitution of being a j there. so a new process will be in place by the congress and the president need to agree on in. i mean, tell me, i'm the way the new convention or commission of experiments who can get together and co will be elected. and order was related to what happens
4:16 pm
if the proposed new constitution is approved, but only narrowly. a last one will be propagated the 30 days, and then you have an area of implementation that it will take like 10 years. i mean, it's not a fast process. is the constitution sent in like outline all of the all the provisions that need to all the states that need to be taken to implement these conditions by the will take at least 10 years. ok. good to talk to professor, but effective date that's claudio winters the and santiago. we're going to return to our top story, the saw the energy crisis in europe over all russia supplies 40 percent of the
4:17 pm
eaves, natural gas, and little over a quarter of its oil imports. before russia's invasion of ukraine, more than half of the gas consumed in germany, was imported from russia. france, with access to liquefied natural gas in port terminals is less dependent, but its neighbors. it gets about 17 percent from russia, and the u. k, which has no direct gas pipelines with russia at less than 4 percent of its total supply from moscow. last year, alberto tony is a professor of international history and energy politics at the university of florence. he joins us now. live at good to have you with us, sir, sir. i'm good afternoon. to what extent are, has germany made a rod for its own back here by relying so much upon energy supplies from russia? well, according to what is happening during the last few weeks, we should say that germany was really wrong in terms of energy
4:18 pm
security. but if you look to the last 10 or 15 years, germany in proctor go to a lot of advantages from the supply from russia. so at the moment the, it's difficult to really understand the extent and the amplitude of the current cries is, may be the pipeline and the pipeline will be closed for one week. and it may be, it will be close to stay close for one man for maybe for one year. so these can be a lot of difference from jet for germany as for some other european countries, if the people of germany and other, you nations suffer a hard winter with a lack of fuel along with the course the, the higher cost of living, i mean,
4:19 pm
electricity prices are high to do you think that that's going to impact support for the government stance on the war and ukraine? well, as far as we can and know at the moment, the main problem is raising the cost more than that, the availability of for that full at the moment is not lacking. they, we, we have, in europe, we have some gas storage. and, and so we can also and face some shortages in external supply. but the real problem at the moment is cost or easy cost. this is the reason why these morning the german chancellor offered shows announces a relief package for families and the companies in germany. this same is doing this swedish government as well as the france, france,
4:20 pm
and italy. and so the, if we can and help families and companies for the cummings manse, these will, may cause some relief during the winter. and in this energy war, i think it's safe to call it that. i mean, who has the upper hand of the month, who's hurting more other sanctions against russia actually doing what they were intended to do? is it hurting russia? well there is no sanction without it without. ready coast for the countries who adopted the sanction. so it is not a matter of how much is costing to apply. sanction, of course, sanction implies some coast, also for the european counties, but they are being governments decided to apply sanctions against russia
4:21 pm
because you know, you credit the war in ukraine. so they, the problem is to understand if and how much a sanction are affecting the russian economy. because if not, the european government should and think about a different way to press on the russian government and russian economy. if shang sanctions are working, we should also accept some coast of the sanction for day european economists. and one final question, professor, ukraine's prime minister is in germany today. he'll be pressing germany's chancellor for more military assistance for the war in ukraine. what sort of response is he going to get? well, this is a very difficult topic in germany because germany for historical reason,
4:22 pm
german public opinion is very cautious when we deal with and me, sorry, intervention are military support to other countries as you may know, after world war 2, germany decided to heidi reduce its military spending and still today, the general public opinion is not to ready to implement the german and involvement in any military. it is also in the ukraine crashes. so you can war. so i think in my opinion, i think the german government will be very, very cautious applying to a mr. or and ski ask for more support. good talk to professor many thanks. indeed for being with us or gotten any that influence former us president donald trump is called joe biden, an enemy of the state trumpet speaking at his 1st rally since the f. b,
