8:04 pm
2nd set piece of enter the day designed to support that message. welcoming ukraine's prime minister with the military guard of honor. dennis schmidt hall is seeking more military aid from berlin and is offering to send surplus ukrainian electricity the other way, or the faucet al jazeera. let's take a closer look. now the cost of living crisis in germany will last year. inflation was at 3.9 percent in august. now it's nearly at 8 percent. that's largely because of rising energy prices, which are now more than 35 percent higher than they were last year. those higher prices are also driving up the cost of food in 2021 that increased by 4.6 percent. this year it's expected to exceed 16 percent. driscoll fowl is a professor of public policy at the university of effort. he describes the household that will be hardest hit as always, the share of the population that spends most of their available income on energy
8:05 pm
services, low income people, households, and, and families with a lot of children are the, the, the novelty here though it's bad for the 1st time i would say the crisis is actually eating into the middle class. it's well people will find themselves in a difficult situation at the end of the year when they faced the energy bills. and when they really have to pay for the costs of the whole year, and that's for, we would expect a lot of people to go into the red just to cover those bills. the sheer of households and energy poverty risk is at 25 percent already. now, and that's before we're entering the eating the, the price increases are yet to come. and the, the gas surcharge that the german government has decided on is yet to come in october. most of the bills, well only come by the end of europe because we're talking about a fixed price contracts and most part of the country and or some
8:06 pm
utilities have already announced energy price increases, but not all of them on it. so we will certainly go beyond that 25 percent of energy, poverty risk, the 3 packages that the german government has put forward a target essentially most of the needs that i've just talked about. but i guess the real issue is, and i think that's what we have to face up here, have to face here, is that the state cannot and will not be able to fully shield households or industry from the economic impact it will be there. and it ukraine's prime minister visited berlin on sunday and a sign of ease intentions between the 2 countries that have arisen since the war and ukraine started. dominic cane has more on what they spoke about thought so discuss, but it christa rises around a few things. firstly, can the german government provide more arms, more munitions to ukraine than it already has done?
8:07 pm
the point here is that defense ministers say, well, they're getting to the point where there isn't much more that germany can offer ukraine in the form of weapons without prejudicing its own defense needs. then there is another suggestion from the ukrainian side, at least, that germany be more considerate of the idea of this idea of a ban on visas for russians coming to the european union. we know that the german chancellor is not really in favor of that sort of option. and then there's one other thing to consider in this visit over the course of the last 678 months. there has been some suggestion in some circles of a fall out as it were, of relationship between the governments, between the shots, government and the savanski government. because of the way that mister shots believed that the german president had been handled not being allowed to go to care for mister shots was then saying he wouldn't go either. now there's very much more
