it's to the old world mood experience outstanding shopping and dining offers. enjoy . our services will be our guest at frankfurt airport city, managed by from waterloo, with, ah, ah, the we news law from berlin, b. e. you agrees to reduce gas consumption and prepares for the total cut off energy minister, going up to 15 percent reduction to save reserves for the winter as russia lashes gas deliveries. germany's energy minister says moscow is waging economic warfare.

also, other programs. russia launch is renewed missile strikes along ukraine's black sea coast, heading vital infrastructure and casting fresh down on a deal to explore ukrainian grain to the world. and greek fire fighters spend a think they've battling a massive wildfire. it's consuming bass stretches of protected forest endangering wildlife and their habitat. ah, i'm nicole really good to have you with us in about an hour from now. russia is due to cut gas deliveries to germany through a key pipeline to just 20 percent of capacity. moscow says the reduction is because of staring maintenance work on the north stream, one pipeline into germany,

and that a complete stoppage is not on the cards, but states are preparing for the worst. and she's day east 8th agreed to cut their consumption of gas by 15 percent 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, then gas savings. unless the law gets rate of dependency on russian gas, the price is room in 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 better than shackle 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 . it shows that europe stays through my tricks, but europe is able to find, you mean unity. i'm giving a strong sigma also in the day we're the flows of decimals to run or reduce them to another 20 percent to putting 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. oh, your grain says russian forces have launched new missile strikes against coastal towns and the southern regions of odessa and mc alive. he 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 a death as poor during the week and casting down on fridays breakthrough deal to resume grain exports to the world and delivery as much as billing and keep explained as earlier. what these missile strikes me for grain shipments from the port of odessa. it's hard to say ukraine is still preparing for these shipments. mm hm. 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 sent them to would not attack these vessels and are the ukrainians who would open a lane through there through the sea. elaine, that is without mines, under 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 a 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. meanwhile, ukraine's military says it has used advanced us weapon systems to strike more than 50 russian military targets in recent weeks. in credits,

the multiple rocket launching trucks known as high mice with helping to destroy ammunition depots and bridges and russian hill territory. ukraine only has a handful of these vehicles with more on the way, but they're also a target for russian attacks. this is high mas behind mobility artillery rocket system. the crown jewel in ukraine scrubbing arsenal of us made weapons. and this is what it can do to high mass can pull up in the middle of the road and far off multiple rockets very quickly and their precision guided so they can accurately get 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 tread at vehicles or towed by trucks. but

a high mosque could get away quickly once it's fall off. it's 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 mars 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. journalists, tim ripley is a military and defense specialist, and we asked him if

a dozen high mars are enough to give ukraine 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 hitting 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. analyst him rightly there a sound. 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 he 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. these 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. so, record rainfall has caused widespread flash flooding in the st. louis area and 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. volunteers from

a lot of work done. this morning. we reported 10 percent containment on the fire to night were reporting 16 percent continuing. so you know, it's not a huge number, but it's a pretty big percentage. um, if you look at it that way, the flames erupted last friday and quickly got out of control. the ferocious blaze was fred by tend to dry conditions. the region is seeing its worst draft and decades. thousands of people were forced to evacuate their homes, dozens of which have been destroyed. these images showed the blaze smoldering from space. not far south west from yosemite national park officials were concerned. the fire was heading towards the reserve, but now they believe it warn't reach it. at this point, the fire does not appear to be an imminent threat to yosemite. california has experienced increasingly larger and deadly. a wildfire in recent years, and scientists believe that due to climate change,

the situation here will only get more unpredictable in the future. an archaeologist and israel has been showing off or recently discovered rare roman era bronze coin. it's thought to be about 1850 years old and bears the image of the zodiac. thank cancer behind the fiction of the moon goddess luna. it was meant in an egyptian city of alexandria, the bronze coin was discovered off the coast of haifa and is the only one of its kind ever found in israel. and as boys england are through to the final of year or 2022, after beating sweden for nil, the lionesses kept their composure after a fiercely condensed and started to the game, and sheffield ford, beth needs scored her safe goal of the tournament, giving her the joint most goals and singly heroes, england will play either germany or france to face off on wednesday. and for more on the women's era, semi final i'm joined by our sports reporter mathias 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 anymore in the back half. and then in the very 1st chance that england head there scored 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 equalled income brings 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 score ride off to half time. i think sweden's spirit was a little bit broken and then the floodgates 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, golgi before the 3 nil. and then the 4 nill was a rather easy lobe. and it could have been 5, was 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, they just did not. okay, then let's look at wednesday, semifinals, germany versus france. what do you expect germany against france? this isn't particularly interesting game. so as martina paused, 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 euro's, which is very, very impressive. trans 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 their very 1st semi final in the euro's. so for france, it's obviously very new experience in germany. well, what can you say about germany with most successful side in europeans 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 causing column. maybe an extra time. mathias break of d w. sports. thank you so much and that's our time, bye bye. ah, tips for your bucket list magic corner check up spot for for me. check.
