ah, he's in 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards jews is still pervasive. a history of anti semitism this week on d. w. ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin to night in germany, new worries over russia using energy as a weapon. the north stream, one natural gas pipeline, the largest connecting russia in germany, is undergoing routine maintenance for 10 days that some fear could last much longer . also coming up tonight, ukraine urging civilians in the southern region of her son to fleet. as it prepares,

a new offensive to push out the russians. anne was ubers raised to the top, fueled by dirty tricks, the world's most popular right. cheery ap apparently drove its aggressive global expansion with extreme and underhanded tactics. even taking the french president for ron. ah, i'm breaking off to our viewers watching on p b. s. in the united states. a do all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the week with new worries here in germany about energy being used as a weapon. the biggest pipeline supplying russian gas to germany, the nord stream, one pipeline closed today for 10 days of annual maintenance work. the government here in germany and across europe for that matter,

fearing that moscow may keep the taps off longer to punish the west for its support of ukraine. leaders are now warning industries and households alike to prepare for natural gas shortages. gas has stopped flowing through the non stream one pipeline . it's meant to be temporary, but german authorities a worried when moscow will turn the taps back on in the m shims to fight in the worst case scenario, if there really is no gas coming in from russia. a few parameters, a 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. what comes? i enlisted gaston hall, gas deliveries may resume and foe. they have even been statements from russia that

effectively announce this. but deliveries may also remain at 0 because 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 marg 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? obviously to say what happens after that were earlier i spoke to our political corresponded hans brought and i asked him just how important the nord stream one pipeline is 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 that 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 parkland. there's even 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 a shower miss. and so i'm already thought about it. uncle singers 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 left me standing for with matt richman. he is 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 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. no, no, no sir. okay. it will be expensive, so one of them will earn a little more or save a little less than vinegar, or missed over. does it even thought i believe that they will be a real bottleneck in the winter. one of them are probably even worse than what we're expecting, order do starting worry, and that will be extremely limited. only winter is done invent, 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

down of this pipeline? what impact would we see? well 1st of all, if we, 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 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, hunts. thank you. or earlier i spoke to our russia analyst constantine acre. he says that the kremlin is monitoring how the german government is reacting to the prospect of a cut back in gas supplies. well, actually brand, i think that put in russia being as we used to joke and russian, 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 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 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 cares. but at the same time, 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 gasp, rome. so i think there are solutions, and i suppose that in the long term have put in continuous. this shan't ours, this blackmail he will probably lose. but of course, in the short term you may get some winds. he may get some people panicking and that is exactly. he is not in my view, that is exactly his goal in whole in the whole operation. yeah. and we've seen that before that it's for sure. konstantin, eager to we appreciate your analysis night. thank you. thank you. ukraine says that russian shelling monday of the eastern city of har. he has killed at least 6 people and wounded dozens more as russia continues its grinding offensive. eastern new grain keeps as moscow is 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 crumble or burn. would you put in? you are good. what have you done? there are old people here and you are doing such bad things to them that you will burn in hell with vill lack. that would would give you a higher give you the up for you. 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 a cloth father east in the city of chassis via 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 me, survivors would either be is nick connelly. he is in the ukrainian capital reporting words. and i asked him about reports that russia's military seems to be targeting civilians. well, that's definitely the line here and kia from the government. they are saying that this in tempe, by russia to try to break ukraine's resolve to put pressure on the civilian population, to so chaos so 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 had thought, given its 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, that has been taught that some of this could be because russia simply run out of the kind of precision weapons 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 stretching we've certainly seen this going on for weeks. they haven't changed their strategy. i was at her shopping center in central you came at 10 days ago also, you know, countless dead there. no change in the threat. she 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 it,

we add the ukrainian government urging civilians in the southern harris on region, which is occupied right now by russian troops to evacuate is 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, 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 and missiles that are really just methodically going about destroying rushes, security. you've heard those figures in the past, present, zalinski 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 you kindly push home this, this, this advantage while russia scrambles to find some kind of solution. let me ask you, 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. what is 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 and ukraine. yet for the most part, ukraine is living in russia. have actually not been in a good position recently. they've been punished for ukraine's governments move 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 and annex not only done yet can do hans. but all the regions that they currently hold separate parts of kind of song rather than just pushing and keeping these kind of puppet regimes in place. i think russia is preparing toward 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 for you may have it on your phone. the world's biggest ride hailing company goober is facing scrutiny over the tactics that it used. on its way to the top. a leaked trove of confidential file shows shows how the u. s. tech giant flouted laws duped, police exploited violence against drivers and secretly lobbied government officials during his aggressive global expansion. the guardian reports that the so called uber files contain more than a $124000.00 documents, which also named several prominent business leaders and politicians. neeley cruise is not getting a 5 star rating these days after she left her job as the european commissioner for digital affairs. she was explicitly banned from taking a position at cooper,

but she did so anyway, cruise used her old contacts to lobby on behalf of uber, pushing to ease labor and taxi was all over the you. i think her chronic if it's wrong, because she breaks the rules for an e u commissioner, and she's going to lobby for business while she just held a public position with in the european commission. that's bad. it's informal while she asked for permission and didn't get it yet. she continues to lobby anyway, dormant libya. the leeks also show that french president emanuel macaroni held several undeclared meetings with uber executives. while he was economy minister from 2014 to 2016 house was his uniform. the opposition in parliament wants an investigation. wilson, the commission of inquiry from the national assembly will be able to question people in order to confirm what's true and what isn't in these cubic documents. to put the legalization of uber sparked protests by taxi and labor unions. messages from the former over c e o travis colonic shows,

he saw violence against uber drivers in france as a way to gain public support for his tech company. according to the leeks, he texted violence guarantees success. the strategizing didn't end their uber also used a so called kill switch in its offices in several countries which cut access to over servers and blocked authorities from grabbing evidence during police raids. in a statement goober acknowledged mistakes, but laid most of the blame on previous leadership on his elect. now some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world, lithuania has expanded curbs on trade, through its territory, to reach russia's baltic, ex glove of collecting rod as more you sanctions against moscow kick in additional goods. now bard include concrete, wood, and alcohol. moscow has called the band in the legal blockade and threatened retaliation if transit is not resume soon. you health agencies are recommending

a 2nd karone of i was lose their vaccination for people over 60 and for the medically vulnerable to counter a fresh wave of covered 90. a 2nd booster for people over 80 was recommended back in april show like his parliament says that it will elect a new president next week to replace go to via or japan. so he and the prime minister have res promise to resign over unrest sparked by the economic crisis for testers in colombo, se they'll carry on occupying the leaders homes until the 2 men are gone. britton's conservative party has announced the procedure for choosing their new leader and replacement for british prime minister boards. johnson candidates will be whittled down to 2 in law maker balance starting this wednesday. party members will then choose the winner with the new prime minister to be announced on september 5th of orest. johnson's impending departure 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. we'll continue his policies towards northern ireland and one of those policies includes tearing up parts of a brakes. it trade deal that boars. johnson himself negotiated with the european union. the move could inflame tensions between the u. k and the e. u, and also deepen sectarian divisions in northern ireland itself. d. w as big moss as this report to night from belfast. oh, mart. the tunes have been practice to perfect, and the hamiltons horn, silver burn is ready for the annual parade. ah, but behind the festive atmosphere, there's a sense of insecurity in this tight knit community. lucy being am grew up here.

hers is a protestant family surrounded mainly by catholics. so quote, nationalists know 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 them places because of the past because of the troubles people around here are very, i'm gray. we're just heading back to that place that dark place. an obviously we, we don't want to go back. lucy's family's house was ones bombed by the irish. she says now she fears that once again, identity politics is rising and that house is under threat. she wants to remain part of the united kingdom. what we have got out of bracket it's yeah, it's very much hand for a united ireland which is against what every union swanson. we don't want that just a few kilometers away. right next to the open border with the republic of ireland

is cross mcglenn. the catholic village. it was once a hot bed of ira gunman, teenagers at the youth club here, have a completely different identity. they have family ties to the republic of ireland and cross the border all the time. myra, mom i to so i wouldn't let me count myself as british because we are still connected to orland and we live in northern and we're still ireland. so i russia, i feel like, even though northern ireland is part of the united kingdom, i just faded because it's just our own island. you just fig. i rush, pete burns, family has been making gravestones for generations. a business that's grown with sales down the road and the republic of fallen. he's also a local counselor and says threats by the british government to change the breadth of the agreement on board as have created uncertainty and even fear. we used to

have borders and all roads, covenant cross midland, known as during a steal. this is one of the most watched places along the border that has all been lifted from the good friday agreement. so anything that moves back to that not for were in danger of going with the british government trying to get these changes are unit re, for changes to the ordinary protocol. will really devastate does area. oh, everyone hear protestant and catholic needs the com to continue economic up eva would be as unwelcome as political tomei as the protestants prepared to march the uncertainty at the sour note while staying with religion, politics to nigeria, now where the front runner in next year's presidential election is broken with the country's tradition of power sharing between muslims and christians. bulletin newburgh is the candidate to succeed encumbered president bahama du bihari for the ruling. all progressives, congress party to new has chosen muslim senator and former governor. cough she

should teemer as his running mate. agirri follows an unwritten rule of power sharing between the largely muslim north and the christian self. in an effort to foster unity. well it is. it has to be said, but you mention nigeria has that me on with a power setting between muslim christian so you might have looks like we have now. we'll have a muslim president. we have kristin, vice president professor, we've seen that before. we have a presidential vice president of jonathan we advocate, but this time we have to pass the atp be led by the candidate who is the most recent felt on the dentist said, fema, i've gotten a lot. but it also said that ticket was going to get right now we might area 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 his chances? certainly i think up about the opposition. the pdp has back to convention. i agree and listen candidate from a vice president southern golf, tristan, so he's kept to convention when you get to that convention, but you have this really going to going for a muslim was made to get people on ease when it comes to the treatment community in nigeria, my jewish split, when it comes to crippin, that the lamp and a very big country, which is great african bigger population. and what have been some of the reactions

to junior abandoning this power sharing that has been tradition for so long. yeah. right. maybe happy surprise that that people who might have gone out to pick up another mostly on the north because they have statements on the cruise and efficient by jerry. 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 the most candidate basically ignoring nigeria. christian population of christian sentiments on the other hand, saying that competency rather than a religious last reaction groups in syria as to why i've been able the apc 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 whom i reporting tonight. thank you. there

is a reminder of our top stories this, our russia have shut off natural gas deliveries to germany, be of the north stream, one pipeline for 10 days of scheduled maintenance. berlin is worried, however, that moscow could extend that shut down amid tensions over the war in ukraine and ukraine urging civilians in the occupied south to evacuate as its forces prepare. a counter attack is coming. as shelling in ukraine's east have killed at least 3 people in ukraine's 2nd largest city of har. he'd be watching the w news live from berlin. after a short break, i'll be back to take you through the day. stick around. we will be right back with ah,
