a cap on the price of russian oil exports. the security threat from russia is also on the table as members of the european parliament meet in strasburg. and the commission president has told me that member states need to that the security of the energy infrastructure was telephone line also said the e, you is now ready to discuss a price of capital on gas as prices, sol, electricity market. for more we can cross to r e u correspondence jack parrot, who is in brussels and next sunday, who's in stroudsburg. jack, i'm going to start with you. what more can you tell us about the sanctions? well, we know that there's going to be a legal framework has been prepared for this cat cap, this price cap on russian oil. we don't know the details. we don't know how much is going to be kept up price wise, how long it's going to last, or indeed, how long it's going to work that will be published on thursday as part of the use

official journal. but we do know that it has been approved, along with some other sanctions, including the banning of the you citizens sitting on the boards of russian companies for instance. and also some sanctions to try and prevent the existing 7 rounds of sanctions from being circumvented. what we do know though, anna is that hungary has managed to carve itself out of this, this oil cap, this cap on russian oil prices. and we had a statement from the spokes person, the foreign ministry. he said the new you sanctions don't hom hungry, dangerous. they been granted exemptions and those sanctions would have violated hungarian and interests and endangered. the security of their energy supply hungry has been opposed to fossil fuel sanctions. pretty much says that the beginning since they started being discussed after the invasion of ukraine. and now it seems that simply because it requires unanimity to impose sanctions, meaning all countries have to agree in order to move forward with the european

union has realized that it just cannot have hungry involved. so they just exempt in them by the looks of things. and moving on without the hungarians. all right, max, if i can, if t. now what's the european parliament response term to russia, the legal annexations of ukrainian land right on. yeah. so the european parliament hasn't adopted an official position on that yet. but from following the debates in the plenary today here in stock book, i gather the, the overall sentiment across groups. political groups and party lines is at the annexation of ukraine. territory by the russians is illegal. it's no one boy, it doesn't mean anything else. but the further escalation of the war in the region is something that's a lawmakers here or the you should not tolerate having some strong, a mark, sierra in the plenary a, some lawmakers to the podium to call russia a terrorist state. now i'm the overall sentiment and i gather also is that they the

majority of lawmakers, or if the thought all are in favor of sanctioned some political groups have called for even more the conservative group a p p for example, is called for weapons deliveries for tanks. and artillery by russia and at troy by germany and france to, to ukraine. should that something that should be done? and then we've heard from the left for example, that they're also asking, in addition to sanctions for diplomatic channels to be reopened, to also pursue a change on a diplomatic front. but overall, bottom line here is that the, the european parliament and you will not tolerates i russians claims to these territories in the ukraine. and that can, i also ask you, and vladimir putin has made several hints about the use of nuclear weapons. what is the european parliament position on that by? that's correct. so the you some top diplomats are joseph barrell spoke in the plenary this morning and he called it a dangerous situation. he actually said it was a source of concern that

a nuclear power was a retreating on the battlefields. and now that being said, it did not seem to be a top priority about among most or any piece here today in the debate actually spoke to one of the conservative a lawmakers. she on the sidelines of the debate and told me that he does not believe that there is any reason to, to believe that russia will use nuclear weapons in ukraine. that is because this would symbolize defeat and conventional warfare. and also what he believes that he would have sent a very strong message already a telling russia to, to back off with a, with nuclear weapons jack, this is the 8th, the sanctions package since fed at february. how effective had the previous ones been? yeah, this is, this is the big question. the european commission present us lavonda lyons. she said that this package shows the fact that they've got it signed off shows that they've been able to work quickly and decisively as you say, there's over a 1000 people targeted with individual sanctions. now as part of all these packages, broad sways of the russian economy as well. the question is,

it doesn't really look like they've had too much of an effect, right? the, the was continuing these referendum that being considered a sham, by the way they continued russian. i believe them to be land part a part of the russian federation. but the question is, what else can the european union do? essentially, there's a few ways you can try and, and war one is diplomacy. another one is hard power entering the war yourself and know you countries want to do that and the other is sanctions. so that is that these are the options on the table. and i think they're quite pleased that they've managed to get these sanctions signed off today. and that's because later this week that the next 2 days of this week, we have a big summit in prague of you leaders as well as leaders from the political community. this new european political community $44.00 leaders in total are going to be meeting in prague. and what they didn't want was a battle royale on this 8, right? a friend of sanctions at the summit. so they're pleased that they have managed to get them signed off here in brussels with the ambassadors today. jap, park in brussels,

and like funder in strasburg. thanks so much. both of you are, ukraine says it's for says, have retaken towns in the south and east of the country, including parts of the regions. russia illegally, annexed last week. officials installed by moscow habit knowledge. setbacks in the her son region are correspondent matea sperling. i visited ukrainian troops in the south close to the front line, despite looming fears of a cold winter. he found soldiers and residents optimistic about further gains. they are digging in. the soldiers have only recently moved forward to the new position. now they are fortifying their defenses, repairing, retrench it's been more than 3 months now since ukrainian president volume is zalinski and ice cubes counter offensive. in the south law push to we are constantly trying to drive

the enemy from bad positions. with these attempts have been successful, god and we are moving forward. we now have new positions and we fortifying them. that is how we make a constant progress forward. you can shuttle homeless booth for quite some time. ukraine's successes in the south have been less spectacular than those in the north east of the country. but recently, the army has been able to make significant gains down south as well. now koreans are convinced that their tactics are more efficient and also more sustainable. and the russians there. but that doesn't mean moving forward is a walk in the park. when this model is music, they just keep aggressively charging at us when us they don't care about their own losses. garage and you get the impression that they just don't give a damn about their soldiers. that the couple of their tactics are simple. it's easy

to read them yet, but for us this means that we have to be permanently on watch was video. we can never, ever lower our guard. he said that it was the spoil. this is all, there's light of the was a highly behind the lines, villages have come under fire. russian forces passed through this settlement early on in the war. later, they were driven back. but since the territory has been back under ukrainian control missions, shells have been falling all over the place. believe british lloyd, that the in the beginning, when i 1st experienced an incoming fire and there were explosions everywhere, i thought it would brought my house. i left the time, but when i heard that things had come down a bit, i came back, i repaired the roof because it started raining. then i decided to stay. those stops . russia has seen tremendous losses of personnel and equipment. that's why president putin has started mobilizing or troops all,

but the soldiers here are calm, but the prospect of more russian reinforcements. when i move it in, i brought the call, could you think they can draft whoever they wanna? and however many they want on youth. but the ro, morales, and the opinion of the locals towards stumbling will not allow them to relax. jim, that is, will i have with the, the floppy. but now the soldiers are preparing for winter, hoping that they can gain as much territory as they can, for as long as the conditions allow it. also they will not. and some more would join. now, by under puck nielson, a military analyst at the royal danish defense college in copenhagen. welcome to d w. mister nielsen. ukraine is fast gaining ground in the regions that russia has just illegally annexed. can you tell us how big a set back this is for russia? well, it's obviously a huge setback. i, you know, it shows that russia has basically next territory is that they don't control and

there is no perspective that they are going to be able to do that. so it's a terrible set back. and i think from a russian perspective, there was a hope that the annexation and the mobile ization and probably also the threats would be a kind of a complete. but obviously it hasn't worked like that at all. what do you expect hooton's next step to be in life of these the seats, and of course the grow and criticism within russia. yeah, it's a huge problem for him because really, you'll look down the list of possible options there aren't that many left. in the short term, i think they are, they're going to try to rush this mobilization through get more soldiers to the frontline try to stabilize it for the winter and maybe prepare something for the spring. and then i guess also hope that over the winter, especially europe will probably will crack and stop supporting your cranes. so maybe that can, can turn the tide. but i would say, well basically it's, it's looking bad for russia. you mentioned the mobilization, i'm a,

we know that russia has recruited or says it has recruited 200000 reservists suffice and ukraine. do you think that could ultimately give russia a military advantage? let's say even next spring or looking further ahead? no, i think in the short term it might help stabilize the front lines and because for a defensive battle, those soldiers can help. but what russia is, mobilizing is infantry, they're getting only put soldiers. this will not give them more artillery. this will not give them air power, this will not fix their command and control problems or give them better logistics or all of these things that are required for often to military operations. and so, so i don't see them being able to do that. even despite the mobilization and i will also say, i think we're going to see very big losses among these mobilize soldiers. and that is going to put even more pressure on inside of russia. let's talk about the threat

of nuclear weapons. russia has raised the threat. do you think it's actually seriously being considered by the kremlin? why i'm, i'm almost certain, it's one of the options that they are considering. hopefully when they will not take that step. i, you know, it's always difficult to measure what is the threat of nuclear weapons. i will say, i think we have to compare it to the norm and definitely it's, it's a much raised threat at the moment compared to a normal day. i think we have to go back decades, maybe even back, secure, and miss our crisis to find something that is similar to where we are today. and the puck nielsen military analyst at the royal danish defense college in copenhagen . thanks so much for your time. now. hundreds of thousands of palestinian refugees have fled to lebanon over decades because of military conflict in neighboring countries. like syria. according to the u. n,

there are almost 480000 registered palestinian refugees in lebanon. almost half of them now live in refugee camps where conditions are said to be dia, because of the crowding and poverty of palestinians in lebanon are regarded as stateless. and don't have the same rights as other foreign nationals. and that means that bod, from working in a number of professions, and they're not allowed to own prophecy. lebanon's economic crisis is now forcing many refugees to try to leave. the doubly reporter mohammed traits have reports now on one man's desperate struggle to reach europe. who v v road he sparked his bag and is ready to go to little rogue. while he is a young palestinian refugee who was born and raised and the banana. despite the risks of while you who doesn't want to be identified as booked as peace on the next boat that will attempt to illegally sale to europe. but i must leave. i am forced

to, i have no other choice. even if they give me an inflatable tire to sail anywhere cypress, or turkey or italy, i have no problem to take it. i just want to leave. i'm desperate of him as a lebanon's acute economic crisis is forcing many people here to try to get out. according to the u. n. more than 3 quarters of people living in the country are set to be in poverty. unemployment is rising and public services are in the critical state. with the country regularly plunged into darkness due to the electricity blackouts. a solid more and we don't have access to basic things like water and electricity, nato mentioned a high price of bread. i used to buy bread for 1500 lebanese pounds, and now it cost 25000 during the day and up to 75000 at night. how can i survive? and i barely make $300000.00 per day. life has become so hot here. most of the

palestinians in the ban on live inside close knit refugee camps inaccessible to villa beneath authorities. it is often a shelter for alcohols and a safe haven for human traffickers who organize illegal bought trips to europe. to smuggler organizing of wireless trip refused to meet us in person, but we convinced him to speak to us over the phone. hello. hello. hello, hello, i am a smuggler, and i arrange my graham day trips from lebanon. i mainly send families and i charge $7000.00 per person. every person signs a release form, so i'm not responsible for any one, even if the boat sank. it's not my responsibility. it's absolutely not a crime. i'm helping people find a way out of lebanon, who can bear to live here. there's nothing left in lebanon. there's been a huge increase in trip. cecia. people know all

to well the terrible risks involved in trying to get to you. but almost every day, both carrying migrants are illegally setting, save from lebanon, migrants are risking potential death if they leave, but says a body, if they stay, it will lead to certain that and i'm joined now by to morale ref i, she's the director of external relations and communications at and see you an agency for palestinian refugees. welcome to d. w. we just heard in that report the desperation felt by ali. can you tell us how bad has the situation become for palestinian refugees in lebanon? the situation has reached unprecedented level of the stair enter the situation up and fatima misery. so we heard of already, but there are many, many, many of wiley, basically anyone who's able to craft together the amount needed to be

a smuggler will get on the boat. even the news of the previous both thinking are still unfolding and the media is very the 1st palestine refugees who have been traditionally, typically, systematically marginalized in lebanon are suffering. now, as are most of philip denise because of the total economic and financial meltdown and with century. but when you're from the more wonderful community, the misery hit harder because there is a much smaller cushion safety cushion around you. and this is the case of, of wiley and many of why can you explain to us what role international organizations like yours play and supporting palestinian refugees and lebanon. your organization i work for is on the ra, a is b, u. m. agency for palestine. refugees, as such, it functions almost as a public sector in that it provides a free education, free primary health care,

social protection services, and housing improvement services to a very specific category. and that is a category of palestine. refugees who do not otherwise receive services elsewhere. we operate in lebanon that we also operate in jordan, syria, and the occupied bella city in territory. and as such, given the state of the region today. and given the state, the lebanon today, the education health and social protection services that's on the right gets on the cash assistance of the buddha system are sometimes now are now probably the last lifeline that palestine refugees had long to. and this is why, for us being that the in the front seat with palestine refugees working in the camps in lebanon. we see the desperation and we anticipate how many more will go on these deadly boats. palestinian refugees in lebanon often live in segregated camps

that denied the prospect of citizenship over generations. would you like to see the lebanese government do more to try and integrate them? this is really a question addressed to the lebanese government, the but the question of palestine refugees is definitely an unreasonable question. these are people who are excelled or had to flee their homes in 1948th and who until today do not have a solution to that to that the original original escape they had. so we're talking about generations of palestinians who live away from their original places and who do not know where they're heading in the lack of a of solution that includes a solution for their life. so an agency like a provides basic services that others are usually invite to do by virtue of being citizens in a country, schooling, education, health care,

etc. are things that any of them can expect if a citizen is expecting a dignified life. this is what the owner does while we await a political solution that includes a solution to the light of the refugees, to morale ref i from a nra. thank you so much for your time. all right, let's take a quick look at some of the other stories making news around the world. the european union says it may impose tough new sanctions on iran, over its crap sound on anti government demonstrations. protests have spread to universities and schools, as women and girls demand an end to oppression. the unrest was triggered by the death last month of a woman. in police custody indonesian president, jekka widow has visited the city of milan. the sight of last weekend's deadly stampede at a football match without a met with victim's relatives, and promised to find what he called the root cause of the disaster that left at

least $131.00 people dead. now if he is no bell prize, the chemistry will be shared by 3 scientists. morton meld al from denmark and carolyn potosi, and berry helpless both from the u. s. they've been recognized for the development of a bio orthogonal chemistry and click chemistry. i was involved attaching molecules together to create materials. the announcement makes very sharp las only the 5th person ever to receive a 2nd nobel prize. here's what the chair of the nobel committee for chemistry johan oak fist had to say. kick chemistry, is almo, almost like it's sounds, it's all about snapping molecules together. imagine that you could attach small chemical buckles to different types of building blocks. deal could link these

buckles together and produce molecules of greater complexity of variation. and joining me now in the studio is leah. i'll brash from deed of news science department. leah, welcome. tell us what this click chemistry is all about. yeah, well a click a mystery. first of all, it sounds a bit funny, right? a bit like a game, and it somehow is it is a bit like the lego, but on the molecular level. so it's about how you can easily connect the building blocks and the tiny, tiny building blocks of everything of this table of you and me. and it's so these molecules, structures that nature produces, they are very complex and they are the models for many things and pharmaceuticals, but also for materials, for example. but it's not very easy to reproduce them to rebuild them in the lab because they are so complex. so click chemistry introduced kind of a new way to build molecular complex molecular structures by having these yeah,

finding these buckles as we just heard. either kind of glue that tightly but easily stick molecules together. they are clearly highly complex stuff. tell us a bit more about the 3 laureates and their research who figured all of this out. so barry sharp, las, we heard it's the 2nd time he won no novel prize for chemistry. and he was the 1st to develop the concept of collect chemistry. so he said there could be these kinds of boggles or buckles air, which can we, which, which we can use to stick molecules together. and his idea went all over the chemistry world became quite popular. now then more meld, all came in and he used this idea and put things into practice. so he found the 1st reaction where we can actually use collect chemistry, enter the buckles, or the glue he used was a copper atom which air was fine for his reaction. and it is now used in many different ways, but copper is a metal. and in our bodies, that's not really,

we don't want it a lot of metal and they're not really healthy. so the next question was how can we use click chemistry in living organisms? and that's where carolyn bertolsi comes in. and she used some, some kinds of complex sugars as a buckle in our cells. and we need to know that it's not, or the, the importance of her research was that it's not harming any anything in our body in the cells. and she used that to. yeah, to click molecules on to living cells. all right. highly fascinating, complex and difficult to understand stuff, but obviously these 3 are very clever scientists have done a good job. li, allbriton dw science. thank you so much. you are watching daily news coming up next in d, w at news asia girls education held hostage in afghanistan. young women refused to be silenced by the taliban. and the daily struggle of
