upholds fiscal discipline and dismisses talk of social on race. attends white the result of kenya's presidential election. if neither of the 2 contend is emerges, as the clear winner i run off will be held for the 1st time. ah, i've been fizzle and welcome. more money, more weapons. that's the promise to ukraine from western allies meeting in copenhagen. nearly 30 countries have pledged more than one and a half 1000000000 euros and aid, including weapons and training for ukrainian soldiers. danish defense minister morton bought scoff is calling for commitments that the commitments are a clear sign of european unity like to day 26 countries. as well as the european union have met hearing copenhagen and have some

a clear signal. ukraine's fight is our fight. we stand together and we stand with the ukraine. we condemned rushes, 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. d, w, correspond christine 0. 11 told me what concrete pledges have been made. so part of this 1.5, our billing jurors, i this is really cash. and the other part of it is said donations in terms of military stock and hardware. add the military of value of that that's been committed at, at the sag conference in, in copenhagen. and that's going to be a put into this international fund because it also includes countries like australia, for example, and canada, who have made commitments. add to that offend 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 of the war has been raging. a lot of minds have been put in place and now and there is an effort that is going to be lead by iceland or where it is going to be about training trainers or who will eventually go back home and start the process of demanding 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, or 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 a production and countries like as slovakia, the czech republic, as we were told in this press conference,

will be at assisting in that if it ramping up production of certain military, our weapon re and, and 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. and we're oh that we all have common sense that there is no time for fatigue. that is model horn for moral form. you need energy and frankly speaking, the mean energy in this case is money. all parties know that we need funding and the term articulated readiness to support us financially. chris, in the minister talking about a marathon there, does the international community have the stamina to keep up while that is certainly what they would like for, for the well to believe international leaders. certainly, leaders here in europe would like for, for, for, for, for ukraine at believe that they still have the stamina to continue to supporting

ukraine. but the reality is a belong of at the war dreads on. you can almost see that the political will waning because of course, support the 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 parliament. 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 the initial day. so what we heard today as well from, from the british defense ministry of defense? are we saying that perhaps president putin, in, in, in, in, in russia would have liked a scenario where, you know, months into this were effectively going on to 6 months of this one 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 point christine would work for us in brussels. thank you. german chancello love sholtes as promising more help for those. he is struggling with inflation and sky high energy bills. is promising measures like tax relief sold, says germany, we'll tackle the energy crisis together with european union is also pushing for a new pipeline from portugal through spain and france to diversify european supplies. shots was asked whether germany could face social unrest over rising

cause you can and lane, you know, i do not believe that there will be undressed 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 effective in the situation by clearly saying they will, will not leave anyone behind why deliberately use the expression, you will not walk alone into the future. you'll never walk a lot of dust and there is also true. that's what our response to this is, and that's why i'm quite confident set. is the chancellor's plan realistic? i put that question to johan, valuable member of the buddhist time for the conservative opposition party, the c d u. i responses 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 to in germany. as far as i see, russian will use a 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 uh, from katara, the deal was just canceled. 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 a l n g from from kata. 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 or 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 paths to take right now?

it is 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. that's 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 some 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 ukranian 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 goats we could deliver to ukraine so that, that could be done by germany. that, that, that's, that's for sure. and the 2nd thing here here in germany, or 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, they 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 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, it, we, we, to day we saw a chancellor, moderating a soberly his own coalition, but not governing of this country. turning to some other stories from around the world, u. s. secretary of state, anthony lincoln has raised concerns about human rights issues in talk with rwanda's, president polk a gummy lincoln's visit is the last stop in a 3 nation tour of africa. he wants to counter russian influence. sierra leone has imposed a nationwide curfew off the anti government protests turned violent. at least 6 people, 6 police offices, and 13 civilians have been killed. the rising cost of living is increasing. change it in kenya. the veteran opposition lead a ride though dingo and deputy president william bhutto and nick and nick in the

race to become president. if neither wins more than half the vote stay could be run off for the 1st time. el dorado in western kenya is one of brutal strongholds. was also the scene of ethnic unrest after the 2007 election as that corresponded my he on murder reports, memories of the violence of 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 candidates authorities the, the area as a possible hot spot 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 armed 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 people. but it's 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 routes go to i went to major with a freshly elected member of county assembly for relo. dingus party is involved in abide and dispute. he accuses his political arrival watha. whoever is not in this song party that you this year. we little much can do to again, it was going to go 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,
