sandy shopping and dining office and dry our services will be our guest at frankfurt airport city, managed by fraud. ah ah this is dw line from bad the you agreed to reduce gas consumption and prepares for total cut off energy ministers to sign up to 15 percent reductions to save reserves for the winter. as russia slashes, gas deliveries, germany's energy minister accuses mosque of waiting economic warfare. also on the

program, russia launch is renewed miss house drives against ukraine's black sea coast, hitting vital infrastructure, and casting fresh doubt on a deal to export ukrainian grain to the world. greek firefighters to spend the 6th day battling a massive wildfire consuming vast stretches of protected forest endangering wildlife habitat. ah, i'm so gale. welcome to the program. european union countries of agree to cut gas usage this winter by 15 percent of russia flashes deliveries. moscow says the reductions because of necessary maintenance work on the north stream, one gas pipeline into germany, and that a complete stuff which is not on the cards. but europe doesn't believe them. and if supplies fall to critical levels,

the new deal should allow emergency transfers of gas to member state to face shortages as europe's energy ministers met in brussels on tuesday. the urgency of the challenge they faced had become increasingly obvious. russia's announcement this week that it would cut supply of natural gas through its main pipeline to germany, to just a 5th of capacity meant a bad situation. had become even more dire. a collective agreement to reduce gas consumption has been long needed. but brussels initial demand for a mandatory 15 percent caught had caused uproar last week as results. the text agreed by the member states has multiple compromises. dairies, no other option than gas savings, unless the woo gets rate of dependency on russian gas. the prices remain high. if we succeed, that prices will drop proposed cuts of 15 percent on a voluntary. and if the target becomes mandatory, the list of opt outs is long. among the exemptions island stay,

it's not connected to the european grid such as ireland, malta and cyprus. countries heavily dependent on gas for electricity can also opt out necessary flexibility. ministers say to protect the european economy as a whole. lot back given shall industrial production, change a completely into dependent if there are problems with chemical from germany than the whole of european industry can stop. and that is what is at stake here. it shows that europe stays july checks, that europe is able to find union unity. i'm giving a strong sigma also in the day where the flows of decimals from run are reduced them to another 20 percent to poaching and to russia, you won't split us. so this is the important segment of the day since the war and ukraine began 5 months ago. the need for europe to rid itself of its dependence on russian energy has grown by the day. governments are hoping that with winter on the horizon supplies tightening and price a soaring,

this compromise is enough. for now. benjamin schmidt's, i former european energy security advisor to the us state department. he gave me his type on the deal. bullock, i mean, i think 1st bill we have to, we have to look at what's going on on the was trying to pull together is as much as possible. and it's really an offshoot of work that's been going on at the level since 2015 through the european energy union concept. this is a concept to build out both the energy security hardware and software, meaning the diversification infrastructure and an anti monopoly legal regulatory models that includes 3rd energy package on gas directive and things like this. but right now, this is where the rubber really hit the road. this is where we're going to see if all of the energy security steps that europe has taken over the past 8 or 9 years are going to pay off. because this is the scenario that we've been talking about for many years, a, a significant or even full gas cut off by russia on you to limit its foreign policy

latitude to push back on russian aggression in particular and ukraine. but in terms of, you know, russian hybrid warfare elsewhere using, you know, weapon is ation of energy space. supply chains and food. so this is a really, really critical moment for you to see if that energy security preparation is going to pay off. i think it will right now it's inc and cru times. i'm going to your question in just a 2nd. i need to, to set it up because we're, we're in a situation where everybody loses from this. russia loses money through not supplying europe in europe. of course loses a major energy supplier. but if gas supplies from russia stuff altogether, who suffers more, do you think a dependent europe, which is heavily dependent on russia or russia, which large lives off its energy exports? well, we're talking about a foot race here. you know, the, you has more or less than that. it's going to diversify rapidly away from dependence. and in import suppression, natural gas on like oil rush,

it doesn't get as much revenue from natural gas sales. it's still significant, obviously, and it should be curtailed as much as possible to cut off, you know, financial lines to support russians, aggression in ukraine. but you can see that the, the energy system is much less valuable on the natural gas side, meaning that although there's that wouldn't be shipped out there. it's not like oil in so cutting off natural gas to europe is in the very short term really a tool that, that because of lack of diversification in countries like germany over the past several years and building up projects like north street one in north spring too it's been in a strategic vulnerability in terms of, you know, the situation it finds itself in. this is why hooton's pulling this lever out because in 18 months and 24 months, he won't have this leverage anymore. who understood the suppose it upside to this energy crisis. it's accelerating. they transfer to green energy. is that actually happening? i think there is, but the, the problem that we have right now,

phil is that, you know, you can't deploy grid scale, you know, large scale renewables at scale to actually push back on this immediate gas cut off . and this is why the ideas like e, e cod ministry come out with the basically swap natural gas applies by bringing in l. n g from other sources. and that includes cutting off and you know, expropriating and, and cutting off the north string to pipelines in and reconnecting them to floating sort of a gas station use these floating ology terminals. bring an l, n g from non russian sources. or again, leveraging existing infrastructure. and again, when we look at these issues, you know, and hopefully we'll talk briefly about the, the siemens turbine situation that's, that's, you know, central to all of this. we have to have a foreign policy that is based in technical reality. and what russia is claiming on these turbines is completely false. we've seen events from a myriad of german ministries on this friday. ok,

we'll have to leave the talk of the seamans turbine to another day about to find out that's very clear. thank you for that. that ben benjamin schmidt is a former european energy security advisor to the u. s. state department. and your clients, as russian forces have launched, the new missile strikes against coastal towns in the southern regions of death and mc alive. cave has released footage of what it says is the aftermath of the attacks which had several buildings along with port infrastructure. on the black sea coast, russia attacked a desert port of the weekend casting doubt on fridays breakthrough deal to resume grain exposed to the world. the w mathias building in cave explained what these missiles strikes mean for grain shipments from the port of odessa. it's hard to say ukraine is still preparing for these shipments, some and is still determined to reopen these 3 paws under this very special agreement that will allow for these grams grains to be shipped out by turkish

vessels that will buy turkish owned vessels that will have a safe passage into ukraine into these ukranian pause the passage to be in guaranteed by the russians who have said that the would not attack these vessels and the ukrainians, who would open a lane through there, through the sea. elaine, that is without mines, and the hope is, of course, that russia would not dare to the tech turkish vessels. but the, that the weak point is, of course, the supply lines behind the ports. theoretically russia has excluded attacking port ports in this agreement. um, but a trust of course, in russia's action is not very high. so the preparations are going on. but whether it will happen or not, we will know only after that his burger will take a look at some more of the stories that making news around the world of former us president donald trump has given a speech in washington

d. c. his 1st at trip to the capital since leaving office and his address focused on public safety is expected to run for president again in 2024. wow. japan executed a man who killed 7 people in a truck robbing and stabbing in 2008 authorities say tom, are here. ok, kato had carefully planned the attack on a crowd of pedestrians despite international criticism of the death penalty. japan's justice minister insist that punishment fitted the crime. germany's largest airline loved hands civil council nearly all of its flights from its domestic cubs frankfurt and munich. on wednesday, grant staff was on strike of this could impact travel plans more than 130000 passengers. in the coming days, union negotiators are want to pay rise for staff record rainfall has caused widespread flash flooding in the st. louis area of the united states,

multiple roads were closed on fire fighters, rescued stranded people from carson and homes. almost 30 centimeters of rain fell in some areas that greece were firefighters in the north. the country have been trying to put out a blaze of scuse me, a fire blazing in a national park for the 6th day. volunteers from a wildlife protection group are trying to rescue animals. the data forest is one of the most important protected areas in your vast areas of pines. i've already been lost to the fire. the w correspondent, fluttering schmidt, says close to the village of daddy in the ever asa region and gave me this update. well, as you can see behind me, the situation is actually getting worse. the wind has been picking up the seating these lamps. so the people he had evidence braced for another very critical night. it'll be the 7th day to morrow,

325 fighters from all over greece work day and night to contain his names. but the weather conditions made it to make it very difficult. it's been very hot and dry. it rained a little bit yesterday, but just to some drops in the desert. the situation here in this forest is especially difficult because we're talking about pine trees here. pine trees are very lame level pine cones explode and helps writing the fire that plan. also, it is a protected area, that means there are no road. the fire fighters don't have access, they don't that they can't penetrate the deep off of the forest them. so what we're looking at is a situation unfold still be we'll see what happens tomorrow. and there is no rain in the, in the weather forecasts. so for on a positive note. so the blazes in less post and in pit upon is those that kept us

word for the past couple of days seem to be under control. right. so 6 days this has been raging. what has been said about how it started. i've been talking to a couple of locals here and i've read the local papers and there's this rumor that refugees caused this buyer. now when i talk to these to these locals, they use the term not that home into nasa, which translates into opus am going to vary you rogatories term. and that also shows that the high end time migrant sentiment in the region. we're right next to the border with turkey. the river at rose is just a couple of the kilometers away from me and my grants refugees try to cross into europe on a regular basis. and then they go into hiding, they, they're scared that the authorities will catch them and illegally before them

therapy. so they go into hiding. they pass through these what's in order to get this that are nikki, which is 4 and a half hours away by car. but until now, these are just rumors they're, they're dozens of reasons why a fire like this can break out. we've seen this all over europe in the summer and last summer as well. and there is no official statement from a government so far. ok, thank you for that. florida flying schmidt's the audiologist in israel had been showing up recently discovered ran roman era coin. it's thought to move about 1850 years old and fantasy image of the zodiac sign kanza. beneath depiction of the moon, goddess luna was min tooth in it from the city of alexandria during the rule of the roman emperor until 9 this uh prius of the coin was discovered off the coast of haifa. honestly, only one of its kind of a found in israel. i'm in sports england our through to the final of euro
