foreign minister, so gay, la rav says, moscow's military aims now go beyond the eastern dumbass region. see of the heaviest fighting and the death toll in europe's heat. weigh risers as wildfire spread and temperatures hit new rat or ties. we look at how people on the government, our country. ah . i'm fil gale. welcome to the program. europe is facing a looming winter gas crisis. european union member states are being told to use 15 percent less gas until next march. russian president vladimir putin has warned that supply sent to the north stream. one pipeline, which have already been reduced, could be cut off completely. the european commission has asked you citizens to use less warm water, switch off the lights,

and turned on the heat and air conditioning to prepare for a winter without dressing gas. russia is black mailing us. russia is using energy as a weapon and therefore in any a wet 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 or to laugh under line, had one big message. every one in europe has to save energy starting now. the u. s . asking all member 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 a scenario that you commission hopes 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, solid charity 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're not or equally dependent on russian gas and phase different levels of emergency. we are seen angry, for example, closing down their energy market border. not, you know, allowing a flow out of the country of garza. if these becomes sir, an action taken on may on their 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 energy sources to fully replace fresh and gas by the winter. despite efforts to build new terminals for a liquefied natural gas boost renewables and ramp at 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 there's some e u countries shut down some of their industries in order to secure gas supplies for households. in others, i put that to my correspondence, burnt regal in brussels. but in theory, this could be the very, very, very last resort. but that is, it sounds now the emergency plan still maintains the priority for private households over the industry or other a supplier. so this is very unlikely to happen and the national, a guest plans 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 of this now is saved during the summer. and the fall should then be stored and then re fed into the system in winter to make ends meet. and by that, by saving the says, we can come through the winter, did only household brand rigate in brussels or russia. i want to expand its military objectives in ukraine, foreign minister. so gay loves as moscow's aims. now go beyond the eastern don bass region where fighting is heaviest. he blames the west for supplying weapons to ukraine and is insisting the purpose of the invasion is to demilitarize the country, heartache in the city of har heath. as a father in prayer niels over his lifeless son de teenager was waiting for.

but when he was killed by a russian missile strike through 3 people have been killed, including a 13 year old boy. i'm 2 people wounded around among them as a 15 year old girl. she's been operated on right now. it was on a daily shelling, pummels eastern ukraine, killing civilians and destroying neighborhood. you know, there were 2 strikes, one hit here, and the other hit a grocery store on the other side of the street. and now the trajectory of violence is about to change. i met at the walker circle, south, west pause, more and more long range weapons such as high mars into ukraine, in an impotent rage, or in a desire to exacerbate the situation as much as possible to cobra. would that mean seeing geographical tasks of these special operation will extend still further from

a current line? the bigger certainly nationally showed that russia's pretext for war was allegedly to liberate, break away regions in the east, from nazi rule and accusation. ukraine and the west se is not grounded in reality. now the kremlin is expanding its attack, blaming the west port shift in military strategy. almost from when you more than that was, we can not allow the parts of ukraine that president louder me as a lensky. come to the new or whoever replace a sim will control, go. you to have a weapons that will pose a direct direct to our territory with that, but still it, i'm the territory of those republics. but if declared their independence, it's got the root of you either, sir, usa usa, misty to, to just, he says at this point, engaging in peace talks doesn't make sense. meanwhile, ukrainians are paying the ultimate price. there's lots of stores making headlines

around the world. turkish present raj, i've heard one hopes for an agreement on resuming ukrainian gray and exports in the coming days is officers, russia, ukraine, and turkey reached an outline deal last week. are the turkish leaders pushing for official confirmation. police in the turkish capital anchor have broken up and l g, b, t q rally and detained. dozens of people, pride events are banned in turkey, but about 50 people marched, regardless to he was previously one of the few muslim majority countries to allow prize parade. british foreign minister list truss and former finance minister, which is soon aca competing to become the next prime minister of the u. k. after winning the support of members of parliament, they'll go on to face a vote by members of the ruling conservative party. but the result expected by september italy's prime minister mateo dragoon, facing a vote of confidence in his government after he's off to resign,

was refused by the president last week and a speech to be up our house. he demanded unity from the broad coalition. he'll continue to lead if he stays in the job. but in a last minute twist 3 parties are refusing to take part in the confidence vote. you can speak to italian journalist unless you're prone, who's based in bill and welcome to the w. is the voter happening? what's going on? does italy still have a prime minister? well, italy, as it stands, does have prime minister. the question is, how long will it continue to have one and he's going to be next. i think at this stage, and there was supposed to be a no confidence boats or a competence both of my drug and as you said, 33 major parties of his national unity coalition after harsh speech by the pm walked out of the vote. so they would not both either yes or no. and so the weird situation rather go test situation is that the government no longer has

a majority in parliament. apparently there's the might not even be the legal number of and is required to actually have right. but nobody actually says like virgin no conflicts on the struggle. so what he is, he's likely next move. well, all bets are probably. you probably goes back to the italian president montela to attend to his resignation again. because he said last week, during the fast and about to say to this crisis, he resigned to try to resign up to one party, walked out and said they would not go to government bill. and he said he would only stay in government with a national unit, a kind of majority with support from across the political spectrum. that was one party event. now we have 3 parties from his own coalition walking gowns. and so the chances are that he's probably gonna go and resign again and their problems with him or with each other. well that's, that's

a really good question. i guess it's really hard for, they tell him public to know at this point. we should remember that the audience actually is supposed to be having elections in 2020 great. and a lot of commentators are saying this is just the start of the actual campaigns rather than having problems with each other druggie. each party is kind of trying to draw it strategies and how it pains it can get low balance. now if we have early elections or in a few months time anyway. ok. send this to thank you so much for explaining that to us unless you put on it and milan and having a a european wave is causing more death and destruction. climate sciences, according the extreme by the awake of cold and warning that worse is to come because fossil fuels, like cold and gas, remain the world's primary energy sources. temperatures in several countries are fueling deadly wildfires. french president emanuel macro thanked firefighters who
