ah, ah ah ah ah, this is dw news, my from berlin, western allies pledge, cash and weapons for ukraine. the one and a half 1000000000 euro package also includes training for ukrainian troops, denmark's prime minister promises cave. we will not let you down. kenya, heads for

a presidential election run off with the 2 presidential contenders. running neck and neck, will bring you the latest from nairobi and hope for afghanistan, sick and wounded children, we made a german agency organizing treatment for young victims of conflict. ah, i'm been puzzled and welcome more money and more weapons. as the promised to ukraine from western allies meeting in copenhagen, elite 30 countries have pledged more than one and a half 1000000000 euros, and 8, including weapons and training for ukrainian soldiers. danish defense minister, molten boats scarf is calling the commitments a clear sign of european unit 8th period to day 26 countries as well as the european union. have myths, hearing copenhagen, and have sent a yes signal. ukraine's fight is our fights. we stand together and we stand with

the ukraine. we condemned russia's brutal attack in the strongest possible way. and we will consider the continue to assist ukraine in its military needs. today's conference has been about more than just words. allow brussels correspond, christine would want to tell me what concrete places have been made. so as part of this 1500000000 years i, this is really cash. and the other part of it is that donations in terms of military stock and hardware, add the monetary value of that that's been committed at, at the sag conference in copenhagen. and that's going to be put into this international fund because it also includes countries like australia, for example, and canada, who have made commitments add to that are found as well. it's, it's a 3 pronged effort. if you like. there is the training of the troops,

which is currently being headed up i in britain where the goal is to train at least 10000 ukranian soldiers by october, indications from the press conference that we just heard is that they want to increase, that there is also add the effort to di, mind ukraine as in the, in the past few months at the war, has been raging. a lot of minds have been put in place. and now ad there is an effort that is going to be led by iceland. our way it is going to be about training trainers are who will eventually go back home and start the process of d, mining the country. this is an effort on land as well as at sea, and then it, it is the, obviously the most pressing is he would be the, the arms and most countries have donated and given basically all that they have or that they can give at the stage. there is now a need to procure arms and that is of course to go to the markets and to buy a weaponry. and of course to ramp up and scale up production and countries like as slovakia, the czech republic, as we were told in this press conference, will be at assisting and that if it ramping up production of certain military,

our weapon re and, and the equipment that could be sent over to ukraine, arms and ammunition to kristin. let's just have a listen to some of what the ukrainian defense minister had to say. earned were. oh, that we all have common sense that there is no time for fatigue. that is muddle horn for mala home you need energy. and frankly speaking very energy in this case is money. our partners know that we need funding and the term articulated readiness to support us financially. chris, in the minister talking about a marathon that does the international community, have the stamina to keep up while that is certainly what they would like for, for the world to believe international leaders. certainly, leaders here in europe would like for, for, for, for, for ukraine to believe that they still have the stamina to continue to supporting

ukraine. but, but the reality is, the longer that the war dreads on, you can almost see that the political will waning because of course, support a ukraine, the continued support of ukraine. these monetary pledges have real implications for, for, for, for budget. so hence, these decisions have to be agreed upon in local and domestic parliaments. and that has been a real concern and, and you're hearing that from, from the ukraine into defense minister because a lot of the concern from the ukrainians is that this is sort of becoming normal for a lot of people that people have been normalized that the war is starting to feel distance that the media coverage is waning. certainly, you don't have the same amount of media you had in, in the initial day. so what we heard today as well from, from the british defense ministry of defense secretary saying that perhaps president putin, in, in, in, in, in russia would have liked a scenario where, you know, manse into this were effectively going on to 6 months of this war. in ukraine that you have the sort of a waning determination that he said that this renewed pledge,

the summit was, was, was to show that the international community was still strongly and firmly behind ukraine. but for example, been here in europe, we're getting into the winter energy prices are going up. and of course this is going to be a big problem as the cost of living and inflation goes up. do you still have that public support and will politicians have to now deal with that aspect of it as well? sir, ukraine would like for their continued support, and certainly the leaders would like to do that. but it depends on the situation on the ground as, as life gets tougher in the coming months, especially here europe. good boy christine would work for us in brussels. thank you . german shazlaw love shoulders, promising more hope for those here struggling with inflation and sky high energy bills is promising measures like tax relief, shield says germany will tackle the energy crisis together with the european union is also pushing for a new pipeline from portugal through spain and france to diversify european supplies. shots was asked where the germany could face social unrest over rising

costs, like in all the net. no, i do not believe that there will be unrest in this country in the way that has been outlined. and that is because germany is a welfare state, and this welfare state must be effected from the situation by clearly saying they will, will not leave any one behind. i deliberately use the expression, you will not walk alone into the future. you'll never walk along unless and there is also truth. that's what our response to this is. and that's why i'm quite confident is the chancellor's plan realistic? i put that question to you on viable member of the bonus tag for the conservative opposition party to see to you i response as a lot of promises. and i do not see how to fulfill all these promises. the 1st thing is we are from read, we get the gas, we need you in germany. as far as i see, russian will use not only not mean to, but also know stream when, as a political weapon against your event is especially also against germany. the 2nd

thing is a new pipeline from spain and portugal. okay, that will last some years until we receive gas from from there and a liquid gas or from katara the deal. i was just cancelled. we saw our economy melissa, traveling to that, to a very country in and that spring. but in the last days we're at that we will never get l l n g from from cut out. so there are a lot of promises also when it, when it comes true to the welfare situation here in germany, you will never lose a walk alone. no one will be left behind that. that are very big words, but how to pay it. didn't the chancellor answer this so morning is especially considering we could be sitting here alone in a very cold winter. oh, what, what would be the, the solution? what would be the right path to take right now at this very important time,

i'm trying to support ukraine and trying to keep the german economy and germans happy. so he's, he's of course, a fully concentrate in keeping his coalition together baths. fair enough, that's the job he has to do as chancellor. he's completely concentrated on the domestic situation here in germany. but in that very situation, europe is out there is says leadership need it. and if you look after european leadership, it's always the question. well, not only on paris, but also on, on berlin, to go forward. and that was, was what the anglo merkel did in the last 16 years of what is lacking now. so, we have to end the ukrainian war. how can we anthea ukrainian war? there's no simple solution, but the only solution i see is more sanctions and more heavy weapons for the

ukrainians, so that they are really able to defend themselves. and that's, that's, that's a point where we're germany does not everything it could do. we have some more chains, we have an arm of their head goods we could deliver to ukraine, so that, that could be done by germany. that, that's, that's for sure. and the 2nd thing here, here in germany, ah, of course we have to safe every energy we are now using especially guess. and there's no plan for saving a gas in germany. no, in public houses or nato, and also not in private houses. so there's no plan, there are no legal means taken by the government to safe gas to save energy. so and, and we are losing day by day, the chance to come around of this winter. and we are not using of the, the nuclear plants we have in germany, no plans from the government to,

to use them for, for the next 2 or 3 years. which of course would be possible. so it's a week we today we saw a chancellor, moderating a soberly his own coalition, but not governing of this country. let's take a look now at some other stories making headlines. you a secretary of state, anthony lincoln, has raised concerns about human rights issues in talks with rwanda's, president polk gummy lincoln's visit is the last stop in a 3 nation tour of africa. he wants to counter rush and influence. sierra leone has imposed a nation wide curfew after anti government. protests turned violent at the 6 police offices, and 13 civilians have been killed. the rising cost of living is increasing tensions run off in kenya's presidential election is looking increasingly likely. local media reporting, the veteran opposition leader rather dingo,

and deputy president william, brutal and nick, and dank as dorrit in weston kenya, is one of brutal strongholds. it was also the scene of ethnic unrest after the 2007 election as have corresponded. mateo murder reports, memories of the violence a still vivid out and about on behalf of piece helen currency and collins. barava walked through the neighborhood and elder it in western kenya. one day ahead of kenya's general election. they talk to neighbors and ask if they feel safe, whichever the outcome i'd be ready to like make my cell. so the scenes that unfolded in 2007 are still fresh in everyone's memory. here, after the elections violent clashes broke out between different ethnic groups, dozens of people, including children, were burned, a life in a church, peace activists, carissa and brother lost friends and relatives. but some people, when they were injured, they still have injury still to be some they become physically disabled,

some became mentally disabled. you can still see the fear that they have the other neighborhood as a stronghold of william, brutal vice president of kenya. and one of the 2 leading presidential candidate authorities the, the area as a possible hotspot for violence and have brought in hundreds of security forces. but like in 2007 leaflets with hate, speech have been circulating. they read vote for rudo or 2007 was just the tip of the iceberg. at the other end of the city ballad papers checked and thought it heavily on police officers secure the side. the i, b, c. the canyon electro authority has to deliver this time after the last election 5 years ago, had to be repeated due to serious arrows. you have to be very keen to make sure that you have the right one. for these anxiously waiting for the critical critical tuesday

morning election day at 6 am. presidential candidate william router is the 1st to cast as ballard in a village near elder it he to praise for peace but peace doesn't hold well on election day. these pictures make the rounds we're going to, i went to major with a freshly elected member of county assembly for relo. dingoes party is involved in a violent dispute. he accuses his political arrival. no watch. wherever he's not in the strong party that you see a little more to come into a group through him, one of the attackers broke his aids arm. he says, the thoughts of violent incidents are not rare. and canyon politics. although they haven't happened much in the selection. back at the polling station,

5 p. m sharp clip willing fish, i have been close. time to count under the eyes of numerous election observers. now days later, people are still eagerly waiting for the final results. did oh you correspond phillips. mother nga is that can you national telling center? he gave me this update on the boat. got yes, the, the vote counting is still under way. they electoral i, b, c, the electoral boundaries commission is currently verifying forms. the physical forms that have been delivered from several i county tiling centers and some more forms are yet to come. so we don't have their exact resolved yet. but the telling that has been conducted by 3 of the main media houses. sure. that at the present moment, j loading guy and william root or i both are going neck to near cut, 49 percent. and so i ran off could be likely,

if neither of them actually caused the 50 percent plus one. but also inside the telling center is a lot of activity shift. agents of their various political parties are present to ensure nothing goes amiss, observer missions. in fact, just as i was waiting for you to come through the african union of summer mission has our members have just come into the national telling center so that they can ensure that everything that has been going on in the country and here at the national telling center goes smoothly there. i was reading that these international observe is a monitoring this election. what, what have they been telling you? well, are there international observers we're observing? we have the european observer, michelle, we have the africa union above our mission. we have the east africa community observe our mission and all of them so far seemed to be saying that the elections were conducted in a free and fair manner. and they are hoping that the country will maintain the same

peace and tranquillity that is currently being experienced, even as people wait for the election results. will that be the case? because there are concerns of violence as we saw in that report. well i, i just spoke to the amnesty international director, he and kenya is younger here too. and, and he said that unlike the past, this particular election is very unlikely for us to go into a chaos after the result is announced. but he also said that it is too early to tell because most of the time, immediately the results are unknown seats. when now eva, people remain peaceful. all their people decide to be chaotic. so before then, the final, as result is actually announced, we are not able to tell, but at the moment the country is come. and everyone is i just hoping that their best candidate, when i've just spoken to one of the agents to main political party and he said

their focus is on ensuring that whatever result that comes from the electoral boundaries commission is actually the right result. and it's actually reflecting the real of canyons to w, corresponded phyllis mango in nairobi, thanks for the update. nearly a year on from the return to power of the taliban, afghanistan's health care system is in chaos. victims of violence in particular are suffering from a lack of medical care. d. w. 's molina went bun reports on her german aid organizations efforts to help sycamore to children the people here all hoping to get medical help in germany. hundreds of parents have come to the african cabin to travel with seriously in children. so did 11 year old up to and his father. both hands would turn off in a bump attack and she's almost blind and left. the organization will bring him to germany for further treatment. i don't know. i visited other

hospitals, but i didn't cover. that's why i'm here because i need help with my hands so that so that though she was clearly i'm having an employee of freedom stuff international has been flying to afghanistan for years. she and her team have to make life and death decisions, which is the which one of the many children are brought to germany for further treatment senior. it's quite hard to say you can come with us so you can come with us next time without knowing, especially with the bone information that the children will still be alive in 6 months later to no, not at this time more children showed up than ever before. $2200.00 families and total. the situation in afghanistan is disastrous. the economy has collapsed. many people are starving. doctors have left the country and so have many 8 organizations

to kinda come in solution. meanwhile, the children are coming to us again without bandages. plus, they can get pain killers. we have seen severely injured children who would be treated in an intensive care unit in germany without pain killers, without bandages one is just lying at home. and in fact, how the leading a few months later, germany, we meet up at the age organizations compound, to live here with of a seriously injured children from crisis and war regions around the world. without parents, an emergency community for as long operations and rehabilitation take to day abdul has to have his wounds checked out soon the doctors went to operate on his forearm . so the hate to lose it like a pin, sir. another as ella it's, i'm not scared of the operation. i'm happy there operating on me. i'm not scared till thursday. until then andrew spends her spare time with his new friends. they

help him from the pain and from a sickness of what is not yet know with her, he's already looking forward to showing his family with them well apart from getting medical care, one of the most pressing issues children in afghanistan face is hunger. chris, ny mandy, the country director with save the children afghanistan. describe the scale of the problem. the situation is very difficult for children. i'm in the grade to percent of the children that were spoken to told us that they are going to bid hungry. and that is in the bus 30 days over 46 percent of bills are not in school. the is girls are telling us that they are depressed. they are feeling said and isolated. it's a huge you montoya, situation that we have to deal with here of canister at this point. in a new report, you say 97 percent of all afghan families face difficulty getting enough food for

their children. is that? is that the right figure? yes, so that's, that's how the, this is the effects of the economic difficulties in afghanistan. remember from the time the television took over billions of development funding assistance that was supposed to come to con eastern as well as billions of us. it's of often our companies, as well as the government were frozen and the economy is teetering at the brink of collapse, the bringing system is on his last legs. civil servants have been paid very small amounts and many have not been paid. a lot of people have lost their job. so 97 percent of the people in afghanistan are going hungry. that's her. that's how that's how serious the montana situation is. is that something that's leading to these reports of more young girls being forced into into marriages

a do you have evidence on this practice under the taliban? we have been talking to goes, we've been talking to caregivers. we be took into the families and asking them what's happening in terms of child marriage and child labor and is clear that families are having to make the impossible choice is so, you know, they're giving their children away in really short bridges, but also giving their children away for labor, the drivers of these issues on the economy, difficulties and maintenance situation, nor parent wants to make such a decision. but since now this is the life of children. nothing is done. it sounds like it's, it's going to develop into a generation a loss generation as far as education goes. is the last generation gyms of education. it is a loss generation in terms of nutrition. just to give you one more,

number 4000000 children in have kind of a more nourished. so that's in the last generation because more nutrition does not just cause death today. it also causes stunting, as well as long term consequences for the mental and physical development of the church. so indeed, it is the last generation and list of creek interventions identity. is there anything that this new taliban government has done to improve the lives of children in pakistan? a yes, so this is, this has been difficult for full for us here. what we are, we are not able to reach communities that we were not able to reach to the past. so that's, i think, is one of the cost of development that has happened from the time the telephone is to come up with the places that we're actually because of the conflict which are government services. from the past government, we're not able to reach,

we're not able to reach those areas. but in terms of service provision, in terms of having a basic services, not much of concern because of resources and a lot of other, i mean the economic issues that i've spoken to, for example. thank you very much for the inside, chris, the about the director, the save, the children afghanistan. sounds like you've got a lot of work on your hands there. thank you very much for being on the show today . thank you for having me. returning to our main story, the warren ukraine, artists are trying to help residents in the city of iraq pin, overcome the trauma of conflict, alleged russian war crimes in the area or under investigation. in the meantime, some of the evidence is being turned into art. the charred cox's of vehicles piled high on the edge of their pin, thrusting metal, torn open by bullets and shrapnel. they are evidence of the violent conquest and months on occupation of the city by the russians. now this testament to defend
