9:02 pm
punish the west for its support of ukraine. leaders are now warning industries and households alike to prepare for gas shortages. gas has stopped flowing through the non stream one pipeline. it's meant to be temporary, but german authorities are worried when moscow will turn the taps back on indian simpson fire. in the worst case scenario, if there really is no gas coming in from russia, a few parameters are crucial is and how fast we are with the liquefied natural gas terminals. the government is procuring how much gas we can save ourselves. there are several scenarios where we would end up in a gas emergency. we must do everything possible now to avoid that tom van duster for might be on a visit to the czech republic. germany's economy minister gave voice to his government's uncertainty about russia's intentions was, comes. i'm mr. gaston roll, gas deliveries may resume and foe to have even been statements from russia that effectively announce this. but deliveries may also remain at 0 because
9:03 pm
a minor technical issue is discovered that cannot be repaired. and we can assume that this is a pretext to keep the pipeline shot for before mark wonders. the maintenance work is scheduled to last for 10 days with no gas flowing through its most important pipeline. germany is waiting nervously to say what happens after that? oh, i'm joined now by our political corresponded hunts. bronte is here in berlin. following this story. hans, how important is this pipeline for germany? it's the most important pipeline for germany. this does not mean that all german gas can through this pipeline, but it's well over half of the gas it has been received in germany. in the past few months has been coming through this pipeline. there's gas also coming from the netherlands from norway, from pipelines and connect germany to southern europe, to italy for instance. so it's not the only part. then there's even
9:04 pm
a gas still coming from russia through a pipeline that goes through ukraine. but this is crucial, 50 percent of the gas that germany has been receiving recent months is not flowing at the moment. and for people on the streets in germany, for people in general in the society. this is something that is worrying them a lot because obviously industry uses a lot of gas for heating and in some industrial concerns gases even use as a raw material and chemicals or processes for instance. and here in berlin, we were talking to people on the street earlier today, asking them what they felt about this. let's hear what they had to say as that each of them isn't. so i'm already thought about it. uncle singers cook, but 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
9:05 pm
for with mom is money. 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 vision soon. 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, a few years now. no, no 0 here 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 there will be a real bottleneck in the winter. one of them 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 in a to log on. so i dial so how do we know what sort of impact would an ongoing shut
9:06 pm
down of this pipeline? what impact would we see? well 1st of all, as we've just heard that people are worried about the costs that they may be facing, especially in winter when they use gas for heating and for cooking. and the german government is trying to find ways to lessen that impact on people that are in need that cannot afford the increasing prices. so that will be huge expenses coming for the german government to try and soften the blow for consumers in germany. there is also obvious an impact on industry in germany. and the most crucial part right at the moment is that germany has been trying to build up its reserves. it's now got about 60 percent of its reserves filled with gas. and now that this gas is no longer flowing from russia, and there's a possibility that these reserves will have to be used to now rather than in the winter. so that would increase the pressure on the german government to find
9:07 pm
alternative sources for gas. for instance, liquefied gas, which comes in huge tankers, but germany doesn't have a single harbor terminal to receive such gas at the moment. it needs to get that from other countries in europe. so there's a lot of pressure on the german government to try and find alternative supplies and to lessen the impact on the society on consumers and on industry or political correspondent hands brought the latest here in berlin, hunt. thank you. and we want to take the story now to vilnius. i'm joined by d. w. russia analyst, konstantin. diego constantine is good to see you. you know, we, we talk about this because we know that russia has used energy as a weapon before the german government is worried that this pipeline north stream one will remain off line as payback if you will, from the kremlin. how likely is there? well, actually brand, i think that put in russia being as we used to joke and russian,
9:08 pm
stella must signal of the land of signals. this is rather a signal from putting his testing, the berlin political establishment at the german public opinion as to know what will be the reaction to this shut down. i don't think it is permanent. i think it is an attempt to warn a germany and other european countries dependent on russian gas. ah, that more trouble may lie ahead unless you correct your ways i. e, unless you stop supporting your grain, unless you stop talking, this kind of fraud piece quote unquote, ah, and start to listen to the ground and narrative. i suppose that there is a downside. a flip side for that to that, because in this, in the end for the kremlin, because in the end, russia gets a lot of money from supplying europe with gas. and in case putin basically blocks these supplies, he may, he may require chaos, but at the same time,
9:09 pm
he'll finally prove that russia's an unreliable supplier. and with actually, i think over the long term, increase the rush to find alternative suppliers. and just by the way, i'm speaking here from lithuania, which several years ago, rented immobile, basically offshore. ellen g facility from norway, which helps the country to basically compensate for a shortage of guests from gospel home. so i think there are solutions, and i suppose that in the long term with put in continuous, this shan't ours, this blackmail, and he will probably lose. but of course, in the short term, he may get some winds. he may get some people panicking and that is exactly his are in my view, that is exactly his goal in hole in the whole operation. yeah. and we've seen that before that it's for sure. konstantin, eager to we appreciate your analysis. my thank you. thank you. where you green says russian shelling monday in the eastern city of her heath has killed at
9:10 pm
least 6 people and wooded dozens more. as russia continues, its grinding offensive in eastern ukraine keeps as moscow if stepping up attacks against civilian targets, including holmes schools and shopping centers. bits of this building was still collapsing when rescue workers pulled this woman out of the rubble of her apartment. and how keith was raining dust after russia attacked the city again with artillery rockets and tanks. many elderly citizens of ukraine have had to watch their homes crumbled. auburn would you put in. you are, what have you done? there are old people here and you're doing such bad things to them. you will burn in hell with real life. that would work, did you? how did you build the up for you?
9:11 pm
i keep schools have also been hit hard. official say more than 180 have been lost to the war. this one was a boarding school for children who are visually impaired. dwayne dd 2 of my children study here. students one is 14. the other is 9 years old. guilty of nicholas. father, east, in the city of chassis young russian rockets landed on 3 apartment buildings killing several people. russia continues to claim that it is only attacking targets of military value. but try telling that to those people still walk into a mountain of trouble, brick by brick. in the hope of finding no survival. artless go do our burial. nick connelly. he joins me tonight from achieve nick. so we've got several civilians killed in. hark, give at least 18 inches of yard. this is beginning to look like
9:12 pm
a deliberate strategy by russian forces isn't that's definitely the line here and kia from the government. they are saying that this is an attempt by russia to try to break ukraine's resolve to pressure on the civilian population. to so chaos said that those same civilians would then put pressure on their government to come to some kind of deal with russia. given that russia is struggling to make much noise progress and certainly much less progress than it is thought given it's huge security in terms of weapons and financial resources. i think the kind of a intention behind all this is a question for later, for potential war crimes. investigators why russia is doing this. there's been talk that some of this could be because russia simply run out of the kind of precision weapons that would allow it to go specifically for military targets. and then there's of see at the, the explanation that it is part of a strategy. we've certainly seen this going on for weeks. they haven't changed their strategy. i was at a shopping center central. you came at 10 days ago also,
9:13 pm
you know, countless dead there. no change in the strategy and just claims for moscow time tom again that they were hitting military targets and that these weren't civilians, even though very clearly, these are civilians who are suffering. i think the can take away for ukrainians is wherever they are. and yet, even if they're not near a military target, if you have the chance to get out, you have to because yet there is no place in this country and especially anywhere near the front lines, it is anywhere near safe. and if we add the ukrainian government urging civilians in the southern harris on region, which is occupied right now by russian troops to evacuate, saying that is preparing a counter offensive. so a new attack. what more do we know about their well, of see all the attention has been on the eastern recent weeks where the russians have been throwing basically everything they have at a very small section of the front lines in lo hunter, region dynette, screeching in the south. the russians have a lot less in the way of manpower and the people they do have there are a lot less well trained and less well equipped than they are than the russian army,
9:14 pm
regulars in the east. so it seems that ukraine sees a chance here to really push forward, especially given that the western weapons are now finally arriving a bit in smaller quantities. and they'd hope those american high mars rocket artillery systems have been spectacular, effective in recent days at allowing ukraine to hit russian logistics hubs and alms deposed, sometimes 506070 kilometers behind the front lines. that was a capacity they really didn't have. and it seems like rushes antiaircraft systems are just unable to deal with these missiles that are really just methodically going about destroying rushes. security. you've heard those figures in the past. present lensky saying russia has 10 times more tillery, and a lot more damage to throw at the ukranian. so what the ukrainians are doing now is just yet methodically going about destroying that capacity. and really, basically hoping that the russians will end up stuck at their front lines without any artillery, without any as shells to use. and we'll have to flee. and let ukraine really push home this, this, this advantage while russia scrambles to find some kind of solution. let me ask you,
9:15 pm
nick, about what russian president vladimir putin is expanding right now. and that is of is a fast track procedure for obtaining russian citizenship to all ukrainians. where does this tell us about the direction in which this war is developing? at least through the eyes of ordinary boot. on the one hand, it's kind of very late to step towards have soft power trying to encourage ukraine is to think of russia as a friend, vladimir putin. concert talks about russians and ukrainians, being one people the ukraine nation basically been made up, but most of it is quite negative. it's all about telling ukraine's that they are incapable of doing the, on their own, that they are not capable of running their own country. and that they basically need to go back to moscow suited. so this is something that probably, yeah, 5 years ago, even a year ago would have actually had more in the way of an effect in terms of, you know, winning of hearts and minds in ukraine. yet, for the most part, ukraine's living in russia have actually not been in a good position recently. they've been punished for ukraine's governments move
9:16 pm
towards europe. and this is a bit of a change there. i think in terms of the kind of policy on the ground, this is preparing the way for russia to actually try an annex. not only done yet, can you, hans, but all the regions that they currently hold separate reports have had a song, rather than just pushing and keeping these kind of puppet regimes in place. i think russia is preparing towards the autumn to bring these rush these regions under full control and then tell the western ukraine if you try and get these back, then we'll use our nuclear weapons to protect them. because these in our osha, d, w, 's connelly with the latest tonight from key as always nic. thank you. you're watching the w news still to come. what does the future hold for manchester united forward christiana, rinaldo report. say he wants to leave. we're here a different story from his new coach. it's coming up just a month. i'd his a quick look down some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. lithuania has expanded curbs on trade,
9:17 pm
through its territory to russia's baltic, ex glove of colon ingram, as more e u. sanctions against market moscow began to kick in additional goods. now bar include concrete, wood, and alcohol. moscow has called the band and the legal blockade and threatened retaliations if transit does not resume soon. sir lancaster parliament says that it will elect a new president next week to replace. go to via why yeah, pucks up the he and the prime minister have promised to resign over and rest, sparked by the economic crisis rochesters in colombo. say they'll carry on occupying the leaders homes until the 2 men are gone. european union health agencies are recommending a 2nd karone of i was booster vaccination for people over 60 and for the medically vulnerable to counter a fresh wave of coven. 19 a 2nd booster for people over 80 was recommended back in april
9:18 pm

9:19 pm
it is, it has to be said, but you mention, nigeria has that me on with a power setting between muslim and equipment. so you might have, looks like we have now, we'll have a muslim president. we have kristin, vice president professor, we've been in the past before we have a presidential vice president of jonathan. great. but this time we have to really pass the atp be led by the candidate. the muslim fell on the dentist said, fema a form. i've gotten a lot but it also mostly mostly was going to get right now people are asking the question, why? because that is not what i used to basically say stuff, but for me and i pull it and what, what about the opposition candidate? now i understand the opposition candidate is a muslim, but he has nominated a deputy from the christian south. so he's keeping parity there. will that increase
9:20 pm
his chances? secondly, i think up about the opposition. the pdp has back to convention by muslim candidate from a vice president southern golf, tristan, so he's kept the convention when you get to that convention, but you have this really a piece the we've been going for muslim was to get and people all eat when it comes to the christian community in my jewish clarity, split when it comes to crypt in the la big country, which is k at the biggest population. and what have been some of the reactions to continue abandoning this power sharing that has been tradition for so long. yeah, right. maybe happened surprised that people who might have gone out to pick up another
9:21 pm
mostly on the north because they have statements from the christian efficient by jerry, i'm many people say that it might have to look elsewhere like the atp does not have anything to offer. if you had given the most been most kind of the say why basically ignoring nigeria, christian population of christian sentiment gonna go on the other hand saying that the competency rather than a religious, that the reaction group tonight, syria as to why i think it will be a b c candidate that to get hold, have gone for the surprise for many surprise, but it is. it is a 1st indeed the w. listen to whomever reporting tonight. thank you. in the u. k boris johnson's impending departure is prime minister is creating even more uncertainty over northern ireland political future with johnson due to step down. it's not clear whether his potential successor as conservative party leader,
9:22 pm
will continue his policies towards northern ireland. one of those policies includes tearing up parts of a brakes and trade deal that he himself negotiated with the european union. the move could inflame tensions between the u. k and the e u, and also deep and so carrying divisions in northern ireland itself. the w spirit mass has this report tonight from belfast. oh mart. the dunes have been practice to perfect and the hamiltons full and silver and it's ready for the annual parade. ah, but behind the festive atmosphere, there's a sense of insecurity in this tight knit community. lucy being and grew up here, hers is a protestant family surrounded mainly by catholics. so quote, nationalists, inno, there's a very much division in the community. you know, we're surrounded here by there is national areas honest like you wouldn't go to
