[000:00:00;00] ah, subscribe to d w documentary on youtube. ah ah, business b w. news live from berlin. fears over germany's energy supply, raso shuts down its largest natural gas pipeline to germany for 10 days of scheduled maintenance. but berlin fears that cut off could last much longer. due to

the war and you also coming up ukraine urges civilians in the southern region of her thong. to fleet as its force is prepared counter attacks. irrational strike on an apartment blocks killed at least 20 for the east of the country. ah, i'm glad off as well come to the program jitters in germany to day after the biggest pipeline the supplying russian gas to the country closed for 10 days of annual maintenance work authorities. fear the tops may stay turned off to exert political pressure on the west over the war. new crime, speaking early up, germany is economy minister won't be you needed to be prepared. in case shipments don't resume and admitted germany had become too dependent on russian and exempt adorned in

a new strategy. the entire germans energy strategy that was aimed at gas and call. and the gas was to come from russia to mines on, which is why the north stream one and north stream 2 pipelines were built upward. just as you can see today, a serious political mistake up which we are trying to rectify as fast as possible. the stein aladdin. until then yes, of course we depend on the l. n. g terminals in the netherlands that belgium and france to work and supply us with gas. or we need gas from norway. we need gas from the netherlands and gas. we need imports in the southern european region, your via italy, for example, in the home. conversely, time germany knows that it has to distribute the guess further under cat. we can only get ahead in this situation hiring if we help each other. and he says he drew, it's your own new of iota insurance kings i to shave what havoc speaking then. now how important is this pipeline for germany? that's

a question i put earlier to the ws political correspondent on spot. it really is the central pipeline for german gas supplies. and as we've just heard for gas supplies to large positive other large pots elsewhere in europe, about 50 percent, just have a half of german gas supplies at the moment of coming through the gas pipeline. and in fact, it is not running at full capacity at all and hasn't been running at full capacity at all. allegedly, because of a very major part of the gas pipeline. the turbine has been under repair in 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 this 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 went to the situation may turn out to be critical. we spoke to some people on the streets of berlin today and said, let's hear what they had to say about this. as the shower miss until i'm already thought about it. i will soon just cook with 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 if that was sandy for with my management. he is a, 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 vision soon. i think i would be quite worried of that my 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,

a few years. and i know now 0 feel it will be expensive. so one of them will earn a little more or save a little lesson vinegar. missed over, does move and thought i believe that they will be a real bottleneck in the winter, la cinema, probably even worse than what we're expecting. order. and you do start to worry and that will be extremely limited on the winter. so you don't have been to which is why we're already increasing to running costs allowances or the name gosselin and to log on. so i dial so hands what kind of scenarios are the authorities preparing for? well, there are 2 things that they 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 car tall, got involved l n, g liquid, national, natural gas, gas that is transported in huge tankers. and germany doesn't have a single terminal to receive this tank these time because interest push feet the gas into its pipeline system, those are being built at a higher 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 the german government is hoping to increase the support financial support to people in need. also, it has had, it has made plans to be able to ration gas if the supply should run short towards the winter. that would mean that business. first of all, would have to receive or use much less gas. some business might even be switched off and household and strategically important places such as hospitals will be the last we turn 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. political correspondent,

hands on the thank you. constant in edgar is w, russia analyst. and he told me that the kremlin is monitoring how the german government is reacting to the prospect of a cup back in gus supplies. i think it will stay, stay dry for some time. but, you know, put is russia is a lend of signals. so put in a sending a signal is trying to basically test the german government's result. he's evidently convinced that under his pressure german society and german political class will essentially fold and withdraw their support for ukraine. at the same time, a has to remember, it's a 2 way street. russia gets a lot of money from supplying gas to germany, austria, and other european countries. so i do not think that the pipeline will stay dry for too long. it is again a signal from pollutant. he will be waiting for

a response and for signals of panic, invalid consulting area. russia. analysts, thank you very much. confident. ukraine's deputy prime minister has urged civilians in the south which is occupied by russia to evacuate. because your friends army prepared for a counter offensive that meanwhile in the east of the country, at least 3 people have been killed by shelling on residential areas around hockey. elsewhere in the east rescue as of the city of shots if you are still hoping to find survivors and the buildings in russia as strikes, death, call them as with at least 24. it obviously calmly is in the ukrainian capital reporting for us. and i asked him whether it was true that russia's military seems to be targeting civilians deliberately. 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 law,

make their own governments 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 russian 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 at the front lines 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 time time again. that's a look now. some of the other stories making headlines today. lithuania has expanded
