5:00 pm
always wanted to be a free credit and we'll go through with it. i was born in berlin. starts july 22nd on d, w. ah, this is d w. news line from berlin. europe's looming energy crisis. member states are told to use less fuel to a versa squeeze this winter as brussels wanted russia using gas applies as a weapon. also on the program,
5:01 pm
russia raises the stakes in ukraine. foreign minister, so gay love, rob says moscow's miller. james, now go beyond the eastern dumbass region, seen the heaviest fi thing that told and europe's heat. wave rises as wildfire spread and temperatures hit new record highs. we look at how people and governments, a copay, and after months of turmoil, to latin could get a new president run. it will become a single succeed c ousted form, anita who fled last week. will the people accept parliament choice? ah, i'm so gale. welcome to the program. still is facing a looming energy crisis. this winter european union member states are being told to use 15 percent less gas until next march. russian president vladimir putin, his warm supplies, sent through the gnawed stream one pipeline,
5:02 pm
which are already reduced could be cut off completely. the european commission has asked you citizens to use less warm water switch of the lights, and turned on the heat and air conditioning to prepare for a winter without rushing gas. russia in black mailing us. russia is using energy as a weapon. and therefore, in anywhere event, whether it's a partial major cut off of russian gas or a total cut off of russian gas, europe needs to be ready. and in order to be ready, who's to laugh under line, had one big message. every one in europe has to save energy starting now the u. s. asking all men their countries to reduce their gas use by 15 percent. first on a voluntary basis. then in case of severe gas shortage is the measure, it could become mandatory. it's
5:03 pm
a scenario that you commission hubs to avoid. if we do nothing, once things, sure, we will have shortfalls. and shortfalls will not just affect the countries where the shortfalls happen. they will affect every single member state because they will have serious consequences on our economy. energy solidarity among you members is said to become a big topic in europe once it gets colder, but it's not at all clear. all 27 states will get in line. they are not or equally dependent on russian gas and phase different levels of emergency. we have seen anger, for example, closing down their energy market border. not, you know, allowing a floor out of the country of garza. if these becomes sir an action taken on may other governments. if these countries start to close down their energy markets, we are going to be in trouble because the ear won't be able to draw on enough
5:04 pm
energy sources to fully replace fresh and gas by the winter. despite efforts to build new terminals for a liquefied natural gas, 1st, renewables and ramp up gas inputs from other countries, like as the by john. current gas storage levels are far below the e is minimum target of 80 percent. after a hot summer, a very tough winter is looming. so might this proposal mean some e u countries having to shut down some of their industries to secure gas supplies for households and others? i asked i corresponded band bigot in brussels. well, in theory, this could be the very, very, very last resort. but as it stands now, the emergency plan still maintains the priority for private households over industry or other a supplier. so this is very unlikely to happen,
5:05 pm
and the national a gas plant in place, every member state has an national emergency plan. and in germany for example, it's also very clear that private households get gas and industry has to shut down and also other venues like theaters or swimming fun parks have to shut down 1st. and the commission wants to avoid all this by saving gas and the gas that is now saved during the summer. and the fall should then be stored and then reef had into the system in winter to make ends meet. and by that, by saving the says, we can come through the winter right now. a sort of on the line says her plan depends on the solidarity of member states be so a hungry is victor all been in that report there. ah, member states on board. no, they are not hungry is just one example. hunger is very radical in its approach
5:06 pm
because saying we are not given guest to anybody. but there are also some other member states that have doubts that they have to save to resupply others. and he can also see that from the by leather agreements that we have so far in place in the university are asked for years now. the to, to come up is voluntary agreements, withstand a neighbor country, but they are only a few in place. germany has some the said check republic and austria, but that meant when they were done that germany would supply aust job as gars. but now it could be the other way around because germany is so dependent on russian gas . there will be lot of discussions among member states, how this system of solidarity shall work. but there are no mandatory quotas or something like that. it's all on a voluntary basis. we heard a warning from the international monetary fund yesterday that a complete russian gas embargo would lead to severe recession in many
5:07 pm
e u countries. so who would be most vulnerable and what preparations are being made? where the most vulnerable countries are hungary, the check republicans. slovakia and eastern europe, but also germany, austria and italy. because the industries in germany for example, are so much depended on gas. and the governments are coming up as national plans to prioritize which industry has to shut down 1st and which industry is relevant for the whole system. so there, there are emergency plans in place, but it's clear if germany or italy shuts down some of its vulnerable industries, then this would have repercussions all over europe. because supply change and production lines are so intertwined. all of your would go into a recession, not only single countries. ok, thank you for that term band dw corresponded, band bigot in brussels. russia says it's expanding its military objectives in the
5:08 pm
ukraine, in a televised interview with states media, russian foreign minister survey. love rav. that moscow's military aims now go beyond ukraine's eastern dumbass region, where fighting is continuing. he said the delivery of long range weapons by the west has changed the realities of the conflict. he also reiterated that the aim of the invasion was to demilitarize you cry. to just give us a little bit, the geography is different now. it's not only about genetic in the hands, but also the her son region. there is a for easy region and a number of other territories. a miss process is continuing consistently and persistent lancaster, the other was in the story. sure. as the correspondence it is pulling, it ain't key. if it comes as a surprise, they do not come. as a surprise, russia has always laid claim to more territories in ukraine or, and even laid claim to subduing their whole off your grain. they have even been texts and, and, and speeches by vladimir putting,
5:09 pm
saying that ukraine is not really an independent country. so russia has always claimed all of ukraine and if they have focused their strategically on the dunbar so far in the past few months, that's because they have failed to take some other parts of the country. however, there are these territories in the south hassan and is upward asia and her, he hasn't been very clear about that. but he might be hinting at that in an annexation of these territories as the u. s. has also warned. right, and let's talk about that. so that you are so awarding what, what are you hearing there about that? so the u. s. has warned, basically that russia is preparing some kind of a referendum that would be in this scenario, or like in crimea, in these a self proclaimed republics that only russia has so far recognized in no hands and done yet. but what though, in their hassan region with russia nearly totally or controls and says there's up
5:10 pm
or is your region where it controls some parts arm or they have been om rumors or a speculations about such a referendum several times and they have not taken place. so far, presumably for security reasons, because there is a resistance movement and armed resistance movement working, eric and her russian officials are under threat and a referendum would look because the a target for these are, for these rebels, these ukrainian or partisans as their chord here. sometimes and her, but we don't know the russia has, has, has been making preparations for such a scenario by grad yellow introducing the russian currency in these territories. for example, by introducing or the russian or network operators. switching to the mobile network operators to russian tv channels. and it has also given old russian
5:11 pm
passports to people. ukraine is saying it has forcefully. it has force people to take russian passports. we have seen photos of ukrainian passports, burnt, et cetera, et cetera. all these can be seen as preparations for a more m for, for this political step to bring these regions either closer to russia in a referendum that would be an independence referendum. like in dawn and dawn bass in the to don boss regions in 2014 or by annexing them, making them part of the russian federation. okay, thank you for that. mit is pulling her in keith cables. take a look at some more stories making headlines around the world, a turkish president reggie type early, one hopes for an agreement on resuming you, craning grain exports in the coming days. his office says russia, ukraine and turkey reached an outline deal last week and the turkey leaders putting
5:12 pm
for official confirmation, tally in prime minister mateo druggie says he'll cancel his resignation to remain in office if parties in his unity governments give him their full backing of his resignation last week, after losing his majority in parliament, the president and many lawmakers asked him to stay on amnesty international has accused me and was military of committing war crimes by using land mines in conflict zones. rights organizations, as mines have been laid around homes and churches near the border with thailand, even says that landmines are maiming or killing many children in europe. seat weighs causing more death and destruction. reco temperatures in several countries are still fueling deadly wildfires. climate scientists according to extreme, whether a wakeup call and warning, worse is to come because of the fossil because of the use of fossil fuels like cold
5:13 pm
and gas. germany is recorded. it's hot the state of the year at 39 degrees celsius o d w. so william blue cross has been out and about in berlin, armed with plenty of ice lilies. he told me how the gym and capitals, coke. i know about any ice follies we haven't had quite so much time for that, especially with our equipment giving us problems. that's how hot it is getting these, those delicate equipment to actually work. if you look at my, my much simpler thermometer here. we're looking at about 373839 degrees depending what number you want to look at. and depending on the exact conditions where that's not quite a record of personnel to wait to see what the officials say with the official temperature is. but that is still very hot for berlin to put. that is the perspective if you live in a place like lagossi or televi, or cairo, or delhi places that are known for being very hot. you're having about the same temperatures that we're having today. and these are been and these are temperatures at berlin, that northern latitudes like where, where from where we are in just we're not accustomed to those kinds of extended
5:14 pm
abouts of heat and you've been talking to people about this. yeah, indeed. i mean, there are, people are trying to cope. people are trying to make the most of it. i was up at one of berlin's many public pools earlier today and was able to talk to some people who are trying to escape the heat and get a little bit of freshman. let's hear what some that to say. ne, as a sense on it. i think it's extreme, but it's still possible to do something about it. here in germany, it's still just about manageable. big so much lighter. i think it's quite hot. it's still bearable, but it won't be for long. it's getting worse. will i honestly, i will miss it in wash galka. if i'm privileged i work from home, i'm self employed so i can choose my workplace. i'm lucky. i know it's harder for others. a friend of mine is waitressing in a cafe and 40 degrees celsius. that's a whole different thing. i'm not a momma. so those burlington sustains me, taking it in their stride. william, but how a most people coping?
5:15 pm
yeah, you hear from those of people that people are trying to enjoy, but there is a recognition. this is very difficult, especially someone who like behind me can't just come to this fountain or go into a museum behind me to get some relief from the heat. it will still have to work with difficult service jobs who just have to, you know, grin and bear it. and it can be very stressful, very dangerous for that, for the human body really to, to get through the w reporter with him glue, croft. no. so uncle lawmakers have confirmed 6 time prime minister. our prime minister run a wick room, a singer asked that new president is currently your prime minister and acting president. the vote means will remain as president until 2024. he's a controversial choice because many voters believe he's too close to the ousted former president to go to buy a roger pack sir. but he won the parliamentary vote easily. 134 votes to 82 date of new south asia bureau chief amrita achievements in the shall lankin capital
5:16 pm
colombo. she told me more about the hastily arrange a vote. it was a history of fairfield, and it was also a surprise result because just a day before the selection, the opposition pulled together and tried to mount a challenge. so the expected vote result would be close. but it was such a decisive victory for around in became a thing other people were quite surprised by that. as you mentioned, 134282 now that it became a single, played by the constitution an entire election. first, as in durham, prime minister than as acting president was within the constitution of framework. so he has a parliamentary mandate for what he's doing, but what he doesn't have and what he lacks, phil, is the public mandate. because in the last election, he lost his parliamentary seat. he's only in parliament now due to a national list which put him there. and he has only one member of his party in parliament. so the thought that the man who is the executive president of sri lanka,
5:17 pm
who be sworn in tomorrow has won parliamentary vote in the, in the parliament is problematic for many. right? well, they have been quite violent to protest there in shanker, it sounds like these are unlikely to stop with this election what there wasn't a sense of outrage that people had expected when the result was announced. in fact, i'm standing at the presidential secretariat and we were here earlier in the day when the results were being telecast live on a screen here and people were sitting and listening to that. and they was a sense of disappointment. let's take a listen to some of the people that we actually talk to. is a parent or did. he has failed him, a note, or he has failed, the columbia will, because of all it is his actions. and he is that under our field, we see people in cues of sri lanka says we don't have dollars to get better. we don't have a dollars to get to get. we don't have dollars to get this. we don't have dollars
5:18 pm
to do anything. but b, c, money has spoken in the parliament so very, very disappointed. not surprised, but still frustrated at how unfair this system continues. and the fact that the people of sri lanka has not been given what they deserve, which is peace and all of a peace of mind to i'm reason what kind of leadership control i can expect from ronald wicker, my singer will, as we heard from one of the protesters there, there they seem as a field politician, he has been prime minister at 6 times what he has never completed his tenure. but now he's become the executive president, which makes them head a state head of government and head of the military. so that enormous power, no key. the 1st thing one needs to recognize about him. he's a law and order. man. you know, we heard last week when they were protests and the poor protest to an ugly. he do
5:19 pm
all the military restore law and order whatever it takes. then this week he declared a national emergency and you know what? shortly after he was elected in parliament, he went outside the parliament and spoke to the security forces. the armed forces not security forces to pack them for what they were doing and said that they'd get the parliament saved during this time, and he hoped they would continue to do so. so that's one thing. the 2nd thing about him, but he was not of a successful politician. many recognized that he's a good administrator, that he has the real, with all i had to set up a policy framework, richard, boy, sri lanka, out of the 2nd army crisis. for example, talking to international money lenders like the i m f, the i members already set their prepared do or don't resume talks, which re lanka, to on the whole. i think what people see a daniel become a singer as a pragmatic choice, but not necessarily a popular choice. okay, thank you for that. i'm rita. i'm rita tumor in coloma it was indeed over the years
5:20 pm
life from berlin still to come. german cars on the streets of sudan, the classic roads are everywhere in the capital, cartoons and servicing a spare part on a problem for so the 2 final candidates to succeed parish johnson as prime minister of the u. k. are the form of finance minister, which is sooner and foreign minister liz trust the, when it will be chosen by the concert by conservative party members. later this year, later this summer, current prime minister virus johnson announced that this month that he'd step down following a string of political scandals. let's go to london then and join the burgess mass. welcome burke. it's so a tell us about the start to final candidates who might be prime minister of the u . k. the candidate most successful with mts with his
5:21 pm
peers is a re she sooner the yo, the former chancellor. he's widely credited for having helped business is through the corporate crisis. so that's to his credit for many who would have voted for him . he is somebody who has immense personal wealth. he's married to the daughter of an indian billionaire, and this is what are some people say might actually in the end not be to his favor, that he's personally so very rich when the country is facing a cost of living crisis and inflation and, and many people need to, you need to choose whether they heat their homes or whether they put dinner on the table. so that could be in the future. a possible problem for him. also, others say that he has a, he had a korea in hedge fund and are questioning whether he'd be willing to tackle tax avoidance. for example, the other person is liz truss, and she's there foreign secretary, i'm she had not resigned under a boris johnson, even when the tom i'll hit in the last weeks. and she is somebody who is standing
5:22 pm
for a small state really hard. biggest policy is cutting taxes. she said she'd cut taxes on day one of her premier ship that's very popular with their conservative party base. on the other hand, her critics are arguing that she was not a very convincing in the leader debates that she comes across as wooden. and some people are even mocking her. and they're saying that if the conservative party, indeed, in the end did elect half they would have a death wish because she's not very popular with the general public with the british voters. so it, let's just pick up on one of the point you raise their u. k. in inflation, just hit a 40 year high in the countries dealing with the cost of living crisis. despite this, the new prime minister won't be announced until september. why such a long wait? well, our boys johnson will be the so called to act had taken prime minister in the mean
5:23 pm
time. so it's not that the country has nobody who can lead it, but it's a 2 point process. it's a, it's for the conservative party base now to, to really pick who they want. so they had to whole summer and there will be hosting . so it will be many meetings with the conservative party members. and those conservative party members are looking for somebody with integrity, with honesty is what the polls are showing, but also for somebody with conventional conservative views and text cutting really is very high on the agenda. and this is why this trust for now is the favorite to succeed boys. johnson. thank you for that bug mass in london. oh, suzanne has been in the headlines for months because of political unrest back even their life in the capital cartoon shaped by crisis. daily activities, of course, still go on for some in the city. this means pursuing their love of classic cars,
5:24 pm
especially the german ones. correspondent audrey increased reports by day fatima city works in a pharmacy, but after work, she devotes herself to her favorite hobby. the volkswagen beetle on what do i like most about the it's not gonna be to. it's the quality there last for ever and there are so easy to maintain. i do most of the repairs myself. and now that i have my own beetle, i've fallen even more in love with this car. you know, they're also just beautiful inside and out. i love them. they have. she's not the only volkswagen fan in sedans, capital khartoum to day beetle collectors, gather in the city along with other fans of german carmakers from the mercedes club

5:26 pm
fatty mohammed has been repairing mercedes cars for 50 years, ever since he was 10. a cousin taught him how to do it. and i felt so of course i love challenge and that's why i chose mercedes lesson a little bit, but not everyone can fix them. they could be quite difficult. this car was built in 1976. no one knows how many kilometers it has on the clock. muhammad estimates that it is over a 1000000, and it will certainly clock up more kilometers when muhammad manages to repair the diesel pump. most parts here are repaired, rather than replaced. one of the biggest problem for us here is that there are hardly any good quality, spare parts. all the spare parts that are imported these days are of poor quality. it's a real problem. the beetle belonging to fatima city is also temperamental because
