[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah ah, the sustainable you news line from berlin, europe looming energy crisis, member states are told to use less gas to avert a squeeze this winter as brussels warns that russia is using energy supplies as

a weapon. also on the program, russia raises the stakes in ukraine. foreign minister survey lumber off says moscow military aims now extended beyond the eastern dawn. vast region seen of the heaviest fighting italy's prime minister. when's a confidence mote in parliament? but mario druggie may still be on the way out. 3 key coalition parties refused to back him. and scientists say europe's deadly heat wave is a week of call. they war and the world's dependence on fossil fuels means there's worse to comp. ah, i'm nicole froze, it's good to have you with us. in the midst of a sweltering heat wave, europe is already bracing for

a looming winter gas crisis. you member stance are being told to reduce gas consumption by 15 percent until next march. russian president vladimir putin as warning that supply sent through the north stream. one pipeline which have already been reduced significantly, 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 rush and gas. russia is black mailing us. russia is using energy as a weapon and therefore in any and wet event, whether it's a partial major cut off of russian gas or total cut off of russian gas, europe needs to be ready. and in order to be ready, ursula funder 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. and she solidarity among you members, is such a 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 all equally dependent on russian gas and face different levels of emergency. we have seen ongoing, for example, closing down their energy market border. not, you know,

allowing our floor out of the country of garza. if for these, it becomes sir an action they cannot, 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 when your boss and ramp up gas inputs from other countries like us or by john current gas storage levels are far below the ears minimum target of 80 percent. after a hot summer, a very tough winter is looming. and now dr. d w correspond and bent rigor here is in brussels band and this is of course only a proposal for the time being. but looking at the general direction of travel, are we likely to see some

e u countries reducing their industrial activity to save gas for other countries? households? well theoretically this could be possible, but this is not the measure that the you is aiming for. the main focus now lies on saving energy. 15 percent. every country has to save it. and these guys should then be stored in the underground storage to use it in winter to be prepared and to avoid any shortages either for households nor for industry. and the priorities haven't changed in that plan. households and vulnerable infrastructure like hospitals will get gas 1st, then industry. and they will cut off of the things like swimming pools or trade furs and everything that is connected to leisure, to safeguards and guests, so shall also not be used to, to produce electric power. this should be done by coal and also by oil,

and also by nuclear energy was left on alliance as this plant heavily depends on the solidarity as member estate, we briefly heard as a victor all on a from hungary and is he and everybody else on board no, they are not on board. the hungary excluded any exchange of care supplies with its neighboring countries and hungry is not the only one that is skeptical other countries that are not so dependent on russian gas ask, why should we save gas? why should we the supply our gas we get from norway or old algeria, or something like that to other countries? so this will be a big discussion or amongst the member states. but the commission is hoping and that the scope of this emergency of the crisis will force them to cooperate and to act irv. similar to the, the way they acted during the pandemic. so come together and show some solidarity

the international monetary fund war. and yesterday that a complete embargo of russian gas could lead to a severe recession in many countries. can you tell us who would be most long rebel, and what preparations are being made? they're interested enough. it's also hungary, there is one the rule here because it depends on the russian gas. it's the czech republic. it's a slovak here, but it's also germany, austria and italy, a who'd knew who need this gas for the industries if these industries shut down than the whole of the european union would be affected, the recession would not be or isolated in germany, austria, it would effect everything because of supply chains and production lines are so intertwined in the you, in the internal market. you cannot separate them. last year they, you imported some 40 percent of it gas from russia. how successful have

a 10th of diversifying away from russian energy supplies been yeah, the commissioner is telling us that they are the shop around for a guest supplies around the road, actually from the united states to katara. and they managed to get the, the, the reliance on russian goes down. hm. 40 to 30 percent this year. but still 30 percent is too much. so this has to be saved. it still amounts to a gap of 30000000000 cubic meters. did only respond in fancy got in brussels. thank you so much for that update. russia is the expanding its military objectives in ukraine. foreign minister, sir? gay love, rob says moscow's aims. now extend beyond the eastern dawn bass region we're finding is heaviest. at the moment. he blames western weapons supplies for the change and strategy and insist the purpose of the invasion is to demilitarize ukraine, heartache in the city of har. heave as

a father and prayer, niels over his lifeless son, the teenager was waiting for a bus 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 on among them is 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 neighborhoods. no, there were 2 strikes, one had 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 as west pause, more and more long range weapons, such as high miles into ukraine in an impotent rage, or in a desire to exacerbate the situation as much as possible to quote, a refill boarded dance mean seen geographical tasks of these special operation will

extend still further from a current lying of certain initially should rushes pretext for war was allegedly to liberate, break away regions in the east from nazi rule and accusation. ukraine and the west say is not grounded in reality. now the kremlin is expanding its attack, blaming the west port shift in military strategy almost from when you move from that was we can not allow the parts of ukraine that president louder me. is a lensky, come to the new, or whoever replace the same will control? who are you? to have the weapons that will pose the direct direct to our territory with started on the territory of those republics. but to declare that independence is got the root of usa usa usa, misty to, to just, he says at this point, engaging and peace talks doesn't make sense. meanwhile, ukrainians are paying the ultimate price. r. corresponding montez bowling. i is in

cavan earlier we asked him for his take on the russian foreign ministers, latest message. level of switch do not really come as a surprise here in ukraine. the russian propaganda has always adjusted its narrative from time to time, framing it as a reaction to western behavior, toward deliveries of weapons, but here in kia, nobody has doubted that this focus on the dunbar was just as a temporary adjustment. and the goal remains the same to take be part of ukraine or subdue the whole country. in the past few days, russia has shot at, or desa and mc alive, the 2 main cities in the south and dirt that points to them or through the next go there might be approaching. this is the territories that they call new russia, that russian nationalists have been calling new russia since 2014 claiming there

were an integral part of russia. and these rockets and these cluster bombs at these are at these 2 cities. arlene claims to them, however, it is not clear that russia would succeed at taking them. they were stopped there in february and with all their or most of their equipment and soldiers concentrated in the don barza. now it would be very difficult for them to make an advance there did only a correspond him at his filling of appointing from keith in italy. prime minister maria driveway has won a vote of confidence in his government by his administration, remains and peril after 3 parties refused to take part. in a speech to the upper house, dragging the men in unity found the brian coalition, but fail to get the support of crucial factions. it's not clear whether he will resign and for more on this week now speaks italian journalist alex pet owner,

who is based in milan unless you're welcome. so doggy has won a vote of confidence, but it's not a victory for him. is it? no, no, it's. it's definitely not technically one device, but as he was saying, god, the most members of 3 parties underpinning his coalition have walked out of the battles . now dragging is not an elected politician. so he always made clear that he wanted the support of parliament and a government of national unity to deliver reforms to have some kind of legit you say. and i guess today's events where a mistake was saw and that he doesn't have that support in that majority anymore. now the later reports we've been getting a drug, he's not going to resign tonight. by the chances are high that he will go and meet president montela marked to tend to his resignation. and now this wouldn't be the

1st time he tries to resign. will the president accept his resignation this time around? you think? yeah, you're right. it's one of the many grotesque i would say. ties of this political events we've been witnessing now. we've got to tell them just that the 1st time that the president refused drug his resignation. was mostly we've been told by, let's not list due to procedural reasons. so he want to drug a to go to parliament, have a debate and see what happens there. now, i think this, this has happened today. and so this has been what happened today was surprising. too many, so there might be more surprises by the chances are that yes, once this happens, this time the present is going to accept drug presentations. druggie came into the post of prime minister to bring some stability to italy. where does his probable departure or this crisis as a whole? leave italy what's an interesting question? i guess we're going to wake up tomorrow and see what happens. i think the media and

political analysts will keep an eye on financial markets to see what happens that and yeah, i think the next step will be to see what the president does. yes, 2 options. one is to consult with the political parties and see there's a new majority in parliament, but the most likely outcome is early elections after the summer. yes. unless you put it on in milan. thank you. said i kid. and then the u. k. to final candidates are battling to succeed boris johnson as prime minister, either foreign minister list trust or former finance minister ratio sooner will be chosen by an estimated 170000 members of the conservative party with the results. and now, later this summer, johnson who's held his last prime minister's question time in parliament,

offered his resignation this month, following a string of candles. and for more on the 2nd race for a number 10. let's bring an article responded back at mos in london. figured it looks like richey sooner is the front runner, at least amongst his peers, how likely to remain as popular going forward. well, now it's over does a conservative party membership and they are a little bit skeptical of re she sooner. he's the former chancellor. he resigned only recently after the many scandals that engulfed arborist johnson. and he is there widely credited by m. p. 's who, where he was to frontrunner. he came up with the most votes and in the last voting round today. so he's been credited by impedes to you have been effective as a chancellor, particularly during the pandemic. when it came to rescuing british business is he,

he acted fast and, and decisively. however, what are the conservative party base might be a bit more skeptical about, is one that he doesn't want to lower taxes immediately. he says it's most important to be fiscally prudent, and also what might speak against him and in the eyes of some is that he's personally very, very wealthy. he's married to the daughter of an indian billionaire. he lives in a mansion and has a big personal wealth and that comes at the time when a lot of british people really have a have trouble and are facing financial hardships. so that is something that the party base world really question him over the summer when they are holding the hustings and deciding who's going to be there at their party leader and prime minister. so a long list of pros and cons. what are a list? try 30 chances of taking over the rains. come september. she's very popular with

a party base. she's the front secretaries she hadn't resign are when boys johnson was pressed by several ministers to step down. so she is ill, has been loyal to him. she is a conservative who really is or to the liking of the party base because she's advocating a small stage. she says tax cuts from day one is what she's promising. and that is music and many conservative party activists is her critics, are saying that she comes across as wooden as an authentic. and she hadn't impressed that much in the recent leadership debate. and it has to be said when it comes to the british public, they are quite skeptical of her and they are much more fond of re she sooner and when it comes to a direct comparison with the labor position, it's only re she sooner at the moment who can beat kissed armor the leader of the

labor position is going to be a long way until the winner is announced. can he ok, excellent. any relieve from it's, and crippling inflation and the cost of living crisis that it's going through until then. inflation is really at an all time high at the moment. it's 9 percent than the bank of england even things it's might be 11 percent in the autumn. so a lot of people are feeling the squeeze. the real wages have been press the the union say it's, it's the biggest cut in real wages that, that british people have had to endure and recent history. so no, it really doesn't look as is, as of those going to be on any i, you know, anything to be optimistic about when it comes to the economy. so that means for the next prime minister comp, if you also add up the ukraine crisis and the climate crisis that really there, the entry is more than fall lots of challenges ahead in the u. k. bag mass and

london. thank you so much. you're wanting to w still to come, why scientists are warning that you're a deadly heat wave should be seen as a wake up call. first, let's look at some other stories making headlines around the world. today. he was president joe biden has announced billions of dollars of funding to help the country deal with the impact of climate change, which he called a clear and present danger. he says the money will help communities protect their infrastructure from extreme weather flown over the vast majority. amnesty international has accused me on mars military of committing war crimes by its widespread use of land mines and conflict areas. the human rights organization says it's found mines in around, in and around people's homes and churches in the countries kaya state. near the border with thailand last month, the un said land mines were maiming or killing. and many children in the country

elise, in the turkish capital anchor, i have broken up and l g, b, t q, rally and detain. dozens of people. pride events are banned in turkey, but about 50 people marched regardless. turkey was previously one of the few muslim majority countries to allow pride parties. a u. s. judge has ruled that a lawsuit filed by twitter against billionaire. ellen musk will proceed to trial in october. it was the 1st hearing and the legal tussle over musk abandoned $44000000000.00 deal to buying twitter. the social media company wants to force him to complete the buyout. tr lanchen law makers have confirmed 6 time prime minister ronelle worker missing a as their new president. he's currently prime minister and acting president, and the vote means hill remain president until 2024. we grimacing a is

a controversial choice because many voters believe he's too close to the else did. former president go to by are russia pops up, but he won the parliamentary vote easily. 134 votes to 82 w. south asia bureau chief from rita cima in colombo, and she told me more about sri lanka, new president. he's been prime minister 6 times, but he's never completed his daniel. but now he did become the executive president, which makes them head of state, head of government. and head of the military, so that enormous power, that key the 1st 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 court protest to an ugly. he to 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, the security forces, to thank them for what they were doing and said that they get the father been safe

during this time. and he hoped they would continue to do so to those wanting. the 2nd thing about him, but he was not a base success and politician. many recognized that he's a good administrator, that he has the real, with all i had to set up a policy framework which would push sri lanka out of this economic crisis. for example, talking to international money lenders like the i am, if the i met this already set their prepared, do don't resume talks which lanka, so on the whole, i think what people see it on it became a singer as a pragmatic choice, but not necessarily a popular choice, i was our south asia purity from rita cima reporting from colombo. europe's heat wave is causing more death and destruction. climate scientists are calling the extreme whether a wake up call and warning that worse is to come. because fossil fuels, like coal and gas, remained the world's primary energy sources. record temperatures in several countries are still fueling deadly while fires,

french president in manion my call thanked fire fighters taking a break in one of the worst affected areas of western france. he says, governments will need to plan on what he calls a more structural level in the future. germany has just recorded. it's hot as day of the year and many regions here are suffering from a long term lack of rainfall. it's a sweltering summer in germany, even in the morning. it was 30 degrees celsius, here in frankfort. just about bearable as is shown. hi sir, it's already hostile, so you have to go home early on the house again via hudson, some shots staying in the shade and drinking a lot. and when i just had ice cream only would side the extreme heat is a big strain on people working outdoors at this construction site. and bullen workers are struggling on this farm. and germany's not relief

a wild boar in spain was captured on camera when his efforts to find some refreshment in a lake. at a madrid golf club went a little ari firefighters. were forced to use a dingey and a lasso to fish him out of the water after he got stuck. finally, the rescue crew managed to get the animal to shore and to safety, where you rapidly made his way to a patch of shade. and he has a quick reminder of the top stories we're following for you today. europe is facing a looming winter gas crisis. european union member states are being told to use 15 percent less gas until next march. russia, as president vladimir putin as warning that supplies and through the north stream one pipeline which have already been reduced, could be cut off completely. and europe's heat wave is spreading with new record, high temperature is expected. here in germany, climate scientists say the extreme weather is awake of call. and that the worst is
