high a continent, a variety of cars. so with this, so all the talking to the movers, shake is visionaries and made when biting the meaning of modern africa. is that sauce august on d, w non ah ah, d w, news log from berlin, b e, you agree? to reduce gas consumption and prepares for a total cut off energy minister sign up to 15 percent reductions to save reserves for the winter as rushes lashes gas deliveries. germany's energy ministers as

moscow is waging economic warfare also on the program. russia launch is renewed missile strikes along ukraine's black sea coast, hitting vital infrastructure and casting fresh doubt on a deal to export ukrainian grain to the world. and greek fire fighters spend a 6th day battling a mass of wildfire consuming the vast stretches of projected forest endangering wild life and their habitat. ah, i'm the call for you. it's good to have you with us. european union countries have agreed to cut gas usage this winter by 15 percent with russia cutting deliveries and half moscow says the reduction is because of nist necessary maintenance work on the north stream. one gas pipeline into germany. and that

a complete stoppage is not on the cards, but those words are being met skeptically. if supplies fall to critical levels, the new deal should allow emergency transfers of gas to member states facing 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 turn have voluntary. and if the target becomes mandatory, the list of opt out 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 better than chicago industrial production chains. a completely interdependent, if there are problems with chemical from germany, than the whole of european industry can stop. and that is what is at stake. effect that shows that europe staged united, that europe is able to find union unity and am giving a strong sigma. also. in the day we're the flows of decimals to run our 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 in 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. ukraine says russian forces have launched new missile strikes against coastal towns and the southern regions of odessa and mc alive. keith has released footage of what it says is the aftermath of the attacks which hid several buildings along with port infrastructure on the black sea coast. russia attacked odessa as port during the weekend casting down on fridays break through deal to resume green exports to the world w as many as bowling, and you've explained what these muscle strikes mean for grain shipments from the port of odessa. it's hard to say, ukraine is still preparing for these shipments and is still determined to reopen these 3 paws under this very special agreement that will allow for these grams grades 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 being 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 of ports in this agreement. um, but the 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. meanwhile, your friends military says it has used advanced u. s. weapons systems to strike more than 50 russian military targets in recent weeks and credits the multiple rocket launching trucks known as high mars,

with helping to destroy ammunition depots and bridges in russian l territory. ukraine has only a handful of these vehicles. it's more on the way, but they're also a target for russian attacks. this is high mas, a high mobility artillery rocket system. the crown jewel in ukraine's grubbing arsenal of us made weapons. and this is what it can do. the high mass can pull up in the middle of the road and far off multiple rockets very quickly. and that precision guided, so they can accurately target russian munitions, combat centers and mall. the high mars is basically a truck carrying a pot containing 6 missiles. it can be reloaded in 3 to 5 minutes. most artillery is mounted on slower moving credit vehicles or towed by trucks. but

a high mosque could get away quickly once its fall off its payload. or, as the military term goes, it can shoot and scoot. it's missiles have a range of 80 kilometers far more than most russian artillery. this means the russians must move their sensitive targets like ammunition depos, further from the front lines. this makes it harder to supply its combat units. analysts say this is the game changing part of high miles. ukraine says it's rockets have destroyed at least 30 logistics hubs and ammunition, depos. russia says it has destroyed at least 2 of the high mas trucks, a claim. the u. s. denies that ukraine's ability to use them effectively will also mean hiding these precious systems. well, keeping them supplied with ammunition is up to the west journalist tim ripley is a military and event specialist. and earlier we asked him in a dozen,

hi maurice are enough to give ukraine a military edge over russian forces. you're right. it is a question of scale in this war. i mean, we've heard reports of the russians firing $50000.00 jewelry shows a day. so the amount of firepower, the ukrainians can, can return with the high mile systems is a fraction of, of the, the russian capability at the moment. now the high miles all proved to be quite effective at heating. as you say, our mission dumps in headquarters. they don't seem to been turned on the russian front line troops yet. so the actual battle in the trenches in the town, in the woods of east in ukraine has not been affected by them. very much so far. journalist him roughly there that take a look at some other stories from around the world. 3 united nations peacekeepers and at least 12 civilians have been killed and dozens injured during 2 days of clashes in the eastern democratic republic of congo. the protests were spurred by

complains that a un mission in the region had failed to protect civilians against militia violence . belief in mexico city have made what they say is the biggest drug bust in the city's history. authorities seized 1.6 tons of cocaine and hidden compartments into freight trucks. the drugs are believed to have originated from columbia and would be worth about $20000000.00 us dollars on the street. record rainfall has caused a wide spread flash flooding and the st. louis area in the united states, multiple roads were closed and firefighters rescued stranded people from cars and homes. almost 30 centimeters of rain fell in some areas. firefighters in northern greece have been trying to put out a fire blazing in a national park for 6 days. now volunteers from

a wildlife protection group are trying to rescue animals. the forest is one of the most important protected areas in europe. vast areas of pines have already been lost to the fire w correspondence floor, and schmidt's is close to the village of daddy on near the turkish border and gave us the latest. well, as you can see behind me, the situation is actually getting worse. the wind has been picking up feeding these lamps. so the people he had ever was brave or another very critical night. it'll be the 7th day to morrow. 320 fire fighters from all over greece, work day and night to contain these names. but the weather conditions made it make it very difficult. it's been very hot and dried, ranked a little bit yesterday, but just some drops in the the desert. the situation in this forest is especially difficult because we were talking about pine trees here,

pine street, a very layman will pine cones explode and helps riding the fire that way. and also it is a protected area. that means there are no roads, firefighters don't act as they don't. they can't penetrate the deep off of the boris them. so what we're looking at is a situation out of control. still, we will see what happens tomorrow. there is no rain in the the weather forecast. so far on a positive note, so the blazes in less was and, and build upon as those that kept us word for the past couple of days seem to be under control. as correspondence land. schmidt's reporting from greece, archaeologists in israel have been showing off a recently discovered rare roman era coin. it's thought to be about 1850 years old, and bears the image of the zodiac sign cancer behind

a depiction of the moon goddess luna. it was minted in the egyptian city of alexandria. the coin was discovered off the coast of haifa and is the only one of its kind ever found in israel. and in sports england r. through to the final of europe 2022. after beating sweden for nil. the lionesses kept their composure after a fiercely contested start to the game. in sheffield, ford, beth needs scored her thanks. goal of the tournament, giving her the joint most goals in a single euros. england will play either germany or france who face off on wednesday. and for more on the women's era, semi final, i'm john barry's sports reporter. but he has blake, when he has, how did england get it done tonight? yes. so for an ill seems like a very, very easy game for english, but it was anything but that apparently in the 1st half of the game, sweden was the better team in the very 1st minute, sweden had

a great chance of scoring the one goal. and then only 5 minutes later they could have put a 2nd one past england. so as we say in football, you know, if you're not efficient up front, then eventually you will regret that. and that is exactly what happened to sweden in this case. so england managed to actually sort out the defense in the 1st half. there weren't as open any more in the back half. and then in the very 1st chance that england head, this court, the one mill, and that is exactly what happens then if you don't score up front, you actually eventually concede, and beth meet again. what a superstar she's been and what a superstar she's been in this tournament right now. 6 golds already. and she has now equaled income drinks record from 2009, who was the only other women so far at the euros who scored 6 goals. and england has made it easier for themselves in the 2nd half of his school. right after halftime. i think sweden spirit was a little bit broken and, and the flood gates opened a brilliant gold by england ride off to that alysia rousseau. i just have to mention her very quickly. scott: a back. he'll go through the legs of the sweden,

goal, people for the 3 nil, and then the for nil was a rather easy lobe and it could have been 5 or 6 in the and so sweden, well and truly the spirit was broken, but they should have the heads i because for most parts of the game, the game could have gone completely different direction if they would have scored the goal or they just did not. okay, then let's look at wednesday, semifinals, jeremy versus france. what, in fact, germany against france, this isn't particularly interesting game. so as martina forced jacqueline book, the german code says that this is on even terms. it's a 5050 game and that's exactly how i see it as well. germany might go and slide favorites because they are yet to concede a goal in the entire yours, which is very, very impressive. drawn, had to go through extra time in their last game, and they're probably a little bit exhausted from that. but they had a lot of arrest days now the french as well. it is the very 1st semi final in the euro's. so france, it's obviously very new experience in germany. well, what can you say with germany with most successful, saw in european history,

and the pizza austria comfortable in the quarter finals as well. so they will go in with their spirits very, very high. alexandra pop when she came back into the team, the captain. she's a massive different, she's course goals, she does everything for the team. and i think germany will get this one done in a very, very close and call them maybe an extra time. mathias bag of d w. sports. thank you so much. you're watching the w news, i'll be back at the top of the hour, but stick around doc film is up next, looking at the big for accounting firms under scrutiny. and really for me and the entire team here in the newsroom. thank you so much for your company a.
