[000:00:00;00] ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin. fears of a germany is the energy supplied. bratia shuts down as the largest natural gas pipeline to germany for 10 days of scheduled maintenance. but, but in fears that cut off could last much longer. due to the war, a new crime also coming up ukraine urges civilians in the southern region of cas song to flee as ukraine's forces prepare a counter attack. and a rush. now strike of an apartment block killed at least $24.00 in the east of the

country. ah, i'm glad else has well come to the program, jitters and germany to day after the biggest pipeline supplying russian gas to the country, closed for 10 days of an old maintenance work. authorities fear the tops mace bay turned off to exert political pressure on the west over the war and ukraine. speaking early up, germany's economy minister all that habit warned the you needed to be prepared. in case shipments, don't resume and admitted germany had become too dependent on russian energy exam to georgia in a new strategy. the entire german energy strategy was aimed at gas land. and the gas was to come from russia to mines on, which is why the north stream one and north stream to pipelines were built upward

to show, as you can see today, a serious political mistake of which we are trying to rectify as fast as possible. the stein aladdin until then. yeah, of course we depend on the l. n. g terminals in the netherlands that belgium and france to work and supply us with gas. we need gas from norway. we need gas from the netherlands and gas. we need imports in the southern european region. you're the italy, for example, in the home. conversely, time germany knows that it has to distribute the guess further. yet we can only get ahead in the situation if we help each other. and he says it's your own lieu of iter endurance kegan's i to have or topic speaking them. now, how important is this pipeline for germany? that's a question i put earlier today, w's political correspondent on spot. it really is the central pipeline for german gas supplies. and as we've just heard, forecast supplies to large parts of other large parts elsewhere in europe,

about 50 percent, just over half of german gas supplies. at the moment we're coming through this gas pipeline. and in fact, it is not running at full capacity at all. hasn't been running at full capacity at all, allegedly because a very major part of this gas pipeline, the turbine has been under repair and canada and has not been returned due to the sanctions. that's what the russians have been saying. so very important for german gas supplies, more than half of the gas comes from there, there is gas coming from elsewhere, but it's not going to be able to replace the supplies that run out of out of russia through the pipeline into germany and the rest of europe and people here in germany are starting to get very worried, especially looking at hit towards the winter. prices of energy already increasing drastically. and in winter the situation may turn out to be critical. we spoke to some people on the streets of balloon today and let's hear what they had to say about this as

a shower miss. and so i'm already thought about it. i'll soon just cook for the microwave, which needs electricity and not gas. unfortunately, i have a gas stove, but i would say that, you know, i was born at the beginning of the war. we've already dealt with completely different things. i won't let myself go crazy over this. one is that we're standing for with mom. many these are, well, the worries are clear that the winter will be cold in the apartments. this and that it could hit the economy hard. i had to go visions in i think i would be quite worried of that. like to happen. i have to say, i'm a trainee and don't have that much money either. i would have no idea what i would have to do. i wouldn't know what to expect. and if that meant that i would have to pay a lot more to get gas from somewhere else, that would be very, very difficult for me as a shooter, for me as years, no, no, no 0 feel it will be expensive. so one of them will earn a little more or save a little lesson vinegar missed overdoses, and even thought i believe that they will be

a real bottleneck in the winter. a lot of them are probably even worse than what we're expecting. order do starting worry and that will be extremely limited on the winter. so he's done, inventor, which is why we're already increasing the running costs allowances or the name cost and, and to log on. so i dial so hands what kind of scenarios are the authorities preparing for? well, there 2 things that i need to look for. first of all, they want to try to increase gas supplies from other sources than russia. and that's been done under high pressure, for instance, from the netherlands from norway, but also from places such as cutoff that involves l a and g liquid, national natural gas gas that is transported in huge tankers. and germany doesn't have a single terminal to receive the stand. the stand goes on to risk push, feed, the gas into its pipeline system. those are being built at a high speed. but at the moment, germany is dependent on tank terminals elsewhere in europe. so increased gas supplies from other sources. the other problem, of course, is the impact this is going to have on society,

on business and on people as we've just heard. and there the german government is hoping to increase the support financial supports to people in need. also, it has made plans to be able to ration gas if the supply should run short towards the winter. that would mean that the business 1st of all, would have to receive or use much less gas. some business might even be switched off and households and strategically important places such as hospitals will be the last to return to where the gas will be turned off. so emergency supplies and questions about supporting society supporting the people that are in need when the prices keep on rising up, it's been correspond enhanced bond there. thank you. you cranes, deputy prime minister hazards civilians in the south, which is occupied by russia to evacuate because ukraine's army is preparing for

counter offensive that. meanwhile, in the east of the country, at least 3 people have been killed by shelling on residential areas around how keeps elsewhere, the east rescuers in the city of cross. if you are still hoping to find survivors on the buildings here in russian air strikes the death toll that has risen to at least 24 did i was next commonly is in the ukrainian capital reporting for us. he, i asked him whether it was true that russia's military seems to be targeting civilians deliberately now. well, that's definitely what the ukraine government is sure of. that's the line. they're pushing. they say this an attempt by russia to so chaos and panic behind the front lines to get green civilians to put pressure on their own lawmakers. they're in government to come to some kind of deal with russia, given that the russians are making particularly impressive progress through normal military combat. the russians as ever have claimed these were strikes against

ukrainian military targets and west the weapons, in particular being sent to ukraine. i think the kind of intention behind these russians strikes is less important than the reality that time and time again, civilians are being hit and that the russians haven't made any change to their strategy since that devastating tech on the shopping center in central ukraine. but 10 days ago they are keeping on doing this and basically what this means for ordinary ukrainians living, anyone, it felt like that basically wherever they are have a far they are from a garrison or a barracks or some other build shall get. they are not in safety, and they really should be making plans or you're thinking about leaving now because these target these targets the civilian buildings are being talked to. tom tom again did up his name. connelly reporting there from keith, turned out to have a look at some of the other stories making headlines today. to lancaster, parliament says it will elect a new president next week to replace or to buy arrow to park. so he and the prime minister promised to resign over unrest spock by the economic crisis. protesters in
