5:01 pm
hello again. i'm adrian finnegan. this is al 0 alive from doha. also coming up, we report on ukraine's counter offensive against russian forces in the south of the country. photos in cha, having the essay on a new constitution that it supports a se, is one of the world's most progressive and angry, flood victims in pakistan, say that they've been abandoned by their leaders and the rich. ah. we started germany where the government has announced a $65000000000.00 support package to help people and businesses cope with soaring inflation and rising prices. chancellor, olaf short says that a windfall tax on energy companies will be used to keep down the cost of gas. the package includes increased welfare benefits and subsidized fairs on public transport. he insist that germany has enough fuel reserves to last and all the
5:02 pm
winter. the chancellor says that russia is not a reliable energy partner. after it shut the north stream one gas pipeline indefinitely. looks understood to them in lucille, germany is standing together in a difficult time is if we will get through this difficult time as a countryside, 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 was and we have made all the decisions that are necessary to make sure we link on that no citizen is left alone, just live now to berlin out as here as dominic cane is there dominic tell us more about this, this aid package announced by chancellor shots. what this package represents is the government here sang to its citizens. we feel your pain. we understand how really difficult it is becoming dealing with the cost of living with inflation as it is. and so we see the result of 22 hours of
5:03 pm
negotiations between the coalition partners here in germany, a relief package, which will mean one of payments for students for pensioners. but crucially, it means the imposition of something that germany had been planning for some considerable time. what's called a global corporate corporation, minimum tax 15 percent, which will be levy's on large corporations. now that is not going to generate all the 65000000000 that's been announced today, but it will says the fund finance minister here it will raise in the double digit, billions, other elements, this swell, there will be the extension of help in the public transport sector over the course of the summer months here in germany, a 9 euro or $9.00 ticket, was available for the 3 months, june, july, and august. pay that flat fee and travel anywhere you like on regional public transport. and many people took that up. that will be built into something that's being suggested by the government will be more expensive for passengers, but it is,
5:04 pm
they're designed to help them. that's the thing that stands out here. but one final thoughts on this, although this government has a majority in the lower house of parliament and it will get its way in that particular house. it doesn't have such a majority in the upper house. so maybe some of these measures will change somewhat before they are actually in acted as law more dominic new cranes prime minister happens to be in germany today. what's on the agenda? he is here in berlin, meeting the head of state. that's the president's frank, about a shine my and me seeing the charts that are all of shots. and we know there are several particular issues that stand out. the 1st one is the need from the ukranian government's perspective for more munitions, more weapons tanks, if they can get them from the german defense ministry. while the german defense minister has already said in the course the last few days that that ministers believe that they are reaching the point where they will not be able to give that
5:05 pm
much more to ukraine. they've never really given them tanks. it has to be said, why? because they say they have to look after the german defense needs, 1st and foremost. then there's also the thought that the ukrainian government is pushing for if possible, a ban on visas being given to russians for the european union. we know that mr. shots is not particularly in favor of such a, a development at the european level. so certainly they'll be sympathy for mr. shots, but maybe not the kind of thing that the ukrainian prime minister might want. and there is one final thought here. busy there was over the course of the last 6 months or so some tension between ukraine and germany in so far as the ambassador here in germany. from here of thoughts of remarks he'd been making, talking about the way the german government had behaved. that had put several people's noses out of joint as it were. the suggestion that mister stein my, the president wasn't welcoming here that mister shots had said he didn't want to go
5:06 pm
there. will that really trying to play those things down now and concentrating on the level of age that germany has been giving here of over the course of the last 6 months, as a real guarantor of the friendliness between the 2, governments out 0 dollar cane live in berlin, dominic, many, thanks and did, let's go to ukraine's capital keefe out there as gabriel elizondo is there, gave what's ukraine saying about the energy crisis in germany and in europe? well, they acknowledged that there could be a very long and hard winter in germany, and the rest of europe and ukraine is worried about it as well. they're worried because they believe, and i think it's pretty well accepted that russia is intentionally perhaps trying to spike energy prices in order to punish european countries that are helping ukraine and that have been helping ukraine. this is of top of mind for the
5:07 pm
government here, and they want to try to address this straight on. and that's why keith is offering to potentially give some excess energy supply that ukraine has to germany to help offset potential shortages there. well then you ask yourself why it is ukraine have so much extra potential energy supplier or 2 or 2 to give to anyone else. and that's because of the exodus of millions of ukrainians. over the past 6 months, we've left the country and the economic downturn, the industry here in ukraine, that is much lower levels and it was before the invasion. so ukraine is just simply not using as much energy as it was before this invasion began. so they have access and now the ukranian prime minister it's, it's expected will be offering some of this to germany to help offset some of their shortages. it's interesting because for the last 6 months ukraine has been the one
5:08 pm
going to germany and saying, can you help us? now ukraine is basically saying to germany, we want to help you at least with your energy. but that is germany giving the right kind of help to ukraine. we hear that it wants to ask for more sophisticated weapons. what exactly are they looking for? well, they're definitely looking for more anti aircraft systems. so germany is already given ukraine. some of those, these are very sophisticated, a weapons that are critical as ukraine tries to a defend territory and also move forward in this counter offensive in the southern part of the country cash sun. so they're also looking for a howitzers, and of course ammunition, these are all things it germany has provided in the past, and that ukraine definitely will be asking germany for more of going forward. houses here is gabriel alexander reporting live there from keith. many thanks,
5:09 pm
gape different countries have different degrees of dependency on russian gas. over all russia supplies 40 percent of the ears, 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, came from russia. france, with access to liquefied natural gas in port terminals, is less dependent than its neighbors. it gets around 17 percent of its gas from russia, and the u. k, which has no direct gas pipelines to russia, had less than 4 percent of its total supply from russia last year. it gradient forces are trying to cut off thousands of russian troops with a counter offensive in the southern hassan region. early on sunday, ukraine carried out more strikes on the anti lives keep bridge, a key supply route for russian forces,

5:11 pm
not begun yet. why? one simple reason? because you, graham, i'm forced needs 1st of all are armoured vehicles for our infantry, korean and forces needs more artillery. and we needs more our aircrafts to do that. which means effectively it will take at least months to coordinate on the, to deploy all these armaments on the font lines and the to make any sort of affective counter offensive. you, sir, you said months 1st, i've heard that months his counter offensive will take months. you're suggesting because that's exactly what dallying, vest and military expert said, we need at least from 7 to 10 weeks before any effect of cow of county offensive can start. because we're from my perspective for frosh and forces, they build quite a solid and they're effective for defensive lions in there. we managed to break for
