this is the ballpark tour unleash on violet boss and re imagined galleys teachings for relevance to gandhi's legacy starts august 6th on dw. ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin, europe. wait to see if vladimir putin switches the gas tops back on scheduled maintenance for the crucial, torturing one pipeline and today. but the russian president signals, he could curb deliveries further to punish europe for ukraine related sanctions or

so coming up. the kremlin says it's changing course in ukraine because of western weapons deliveries. moscow now wants to take over territory beyond the don bass region. and scientists say europe's heat wave is a wake up call. their warm, the world's dependence on fossil fuels means there's worth to come. ah hello there, i'm really mohammed. europe is bracing to see if moscow will resume natural gas deliveries via the nord stream one pipeline. the pipeline is you to come back online later today after a 10 days scheduled maintenance period. but russia's president, that'd be a putin is threatening to cub deliveries via an old stream one claiming western sanctions or preventing needed repairs. as the you faces

a looming energy crisis. member states are being told to reduce gas consumption by 15 percent until next march. the european commission has asked you citizens to use less warm water, switch off the lights, and turned on the heat and air conditioning shall prepare for a winter without rushing gas. russia is black mailing us. russia is using energy as a weapon and therefore, in any aware 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 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. and she 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 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 as the 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. so as we just heard, energy solidarity among you members is set to become a big topic this autumn and winter will be asked, dw burns, re get in brussels. if everybody in the you is 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 mowbray, or old algeria or something like that to other countries? so this will be a big discussion amongst the member states. but the commission is hoping that the scope of this emergency of the crisis will force them to cooperate and to act a similar to the, the way they acted during the pandemic. so come together and show some solidarity rush. as far as that psych, a lavonne says moscow's military aims now extend beyond ukraine's eastern don bass region. a fighting is the heaviest. he blames western weapons supplies for the change in strategy and insists the purpose of the invasion is to demilitarize ukraine, hard, 8 in the city of har heath. as a father and prayer kneels over his lifeless son,
