a large majority of lawmakers. little earlier i spoke with d. w, correspond, minear, a chowdhury, who was in columbia colombo and i asked her about the selection outcome. rosara, as you rightly said, donald drummer singer is now officially the president of felucca. and as you mentioned, he is indeed a controversial figure. all a past few days, we have been seeing protests and big protests by the people here who have been very, very clear with their demand after buddha barrage but sir resigned that they want to run it to go home. that was their slogan from gotta go home to johnny, go home. that has been their slogan. that was very evident on the 13th of july. also, when he took over as the acting president, when people wrong, the prime minister's office and occupied it managed to occupied, making it very clear that they want him to step down. but now this morning, a secret ballot voting in the parliament, he has emerged victorious. he has got the majority votes that sooner

a charged atmosphere. so what is the mood then like given this decision? well, immediately after it became clear from the parliament borders yard and everybody with talking around that ronald bicker. mattson guy is going to keep the boss will officially become the president. immediately after that, i'm at the moment at the presidential secretary, the old parliament people here who was sitting this morning watching the life streaming of the walking in the parliament taking place. just got up and started protesting, grieving slogans, and what you're hearing now. right now they're gone, but they're going to be back very soon. and we'll start with more protesting because they're disappointed the people i've spoken to said that they're not happy . they're disappointed with their choice. and they do not want him to keep this post. okay, so tell us, i mean, just walk us through because this, there have been many protests in the past days and, and, and, and weeks. tell us a little bit more about, you know, how our sri lankan could be voicing their opposition. what,

what might we see in the hours ahead? so the thing is, the people here, especially those who have been protesting, see only become a singer as some one as good of a raj bucks us friend. basically they said that he, someone who is going to take away their take forward the raj, bucks a legacy. they see him as not only a season politician, but in their words, a feel politician, since he hath been the prime minister of the country many times, but never was able to complete the tenure. and they said that in the past, they have seen him collaborating with the raj boxes, saving them when he could have actually made them pay for their actions. this is the peoples word here. so what they see right now is someone who will, in the future, will probably offer the raj book, the family, some protection. so this is why they are very much against him. what be a see right now is that someone who is going to be a roger bucks as ally as taking power. they want the country to be out of economic

crisis. many here also said that his ronald grandma, single experienced, will help the country in a way to get out of the crisis, but they are very much against his history with roger back 7. that is what they're going to weiss out now in the coming brought us. okay, so they, they want somebody who can provide some accountability going forward are clearly and move the country to a better place, especially economically speaking. if you corresponded near a chowdhury reporting from colombo, thank you so much. the european commission is about to outline emergency measures to avert a gas crisis across the continent. this winter, they are expected to ask countries to take steps to reduce gas consumption over the next months. the move comes over fears that russia could completely cut off supplies to the you do not stream one pipeline where gas deliveries from russia have dropped just 0 to germany. since last week. russia has said this is due to regular maintenance, but your leaders are already gearing up for the worst case. lucy,

prussia due to the energy as it uses food as a weapon of war. i think we must today prepare for a scenario in which we have to manage completely without russian gas. and this is not the theoretical scenario. in 2021, the ear imported around 40 percent of its gas from russia, with some e u. countries being especially dependent, namely germany, italy, and eastern european nations. imports are now down to 20 percent. but should russia really hold all gas imports? experts only see one solution. if we are to see a full interruption of the rush and gas supply to europe, then we will have to decrease our gas demand in that is he then shall sector in the industrial sector. so using less warm water, turning down the heating and switching off the lights. well beyond the agenda for

many in europe. for some more than for our this we and program estimated that they're all they're only new or a way to got to get them. and by 15 percent, but these will have national differences. germany, for example, use a country that might need to reduce more gas demand because of the limited. i'll turn at these germany has, at the same time, early, just rushing to find alternatives to russian energy, such as liquefied natural gas, for example, or ramping up gas imports from other countries, like aster by john, despite the nation's dubious human rights record. this will help compensate for cuts and supplies of russian gas and contributed significantly to europe, security of supply. these alternative sources could help fill up gas storage facilities all over the block by the winter. for now, however,

current storage levels are far below o, the minimum of 80 percent. so after a hot summer, many here in europe are hoping for a mild winter. and the international monetary fund warns that a complete russian gas embargo would lead to severe recession. and in many countries earlier i asked dw brussels correspondent, marina strauss. and i asked her if those countries are prepared for it. you leaders are already looking for alternatives to ration guys. and they also tried to boost renewable energies. but it's clear with the easiest dependence on russian gas, it won't be fast enough for this winter. so the commission that used executive arm against us cutting down gas demands starting now. right. really starting in the summer, not waiting until the winter could contain economic impacts. 20.4 percent of its g

d p. but if nothing is done, it could be way worse. and what could actually help is solidarity between members state. so for example, if one country faces a severe shortage other countries could help. but of course, this will also be a very difficult a decision to make because may be in such countries would want to, would want to keep their gas to themselves in case of emergencies. and i was marina strauss speaking with me earlier. europe's heat wave is spreading across the continent with new record highs expected in germany today. temperatures rose to $39.00 degrees celsius in parts of the country on tuesday, the hottest day of the year. so far, record temperatures were reached in multiple parts of europe exacerbating already deadly wildfires. scientists say that this summer is a wake up call to the impact of climate change and that the worst is yet to come. if net 0 emissions are not achieved in the u. k. temperature is reached over 40
