[000:00:00;00] ah, subscribe to w documentary on youtube. ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin and the you agrees fresh sanctions against russia after it's illegal annexations in ukraine. brussels promises a tough response with planned penalties for moscow to include a price cap on russian oil. meanwhile,

ukrainian troops re take more territory as they advance against retreating russian forces. president polanski says his troops have liberated thousands of towns in the past week, and now pressing a counter offensive in both the east and the south. also coming up, tesla ellen mosque makes another you turn on his twitter takeover plans of slamming the brakes on the acquisition musket says he will now by the social media giant at the initially agreed on price of 40 $4000000000.00 and a nobel prize for 3 pioneers of quick chemistry, the royal swedish academy of sciences, honors the trio for discovering molecules together, the technology that could help make counter drugs more effective. ah, i'm on your campus, mccann,

and welcome to the program. the european union agreed to impose new sanctions on russia in response to the one ukraine, and these will include 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, and strasburg. the commission president who told any piece that member states need to step up the security of the energy infrastructure was lafond line also said the you is now ready to discuss a price cap on gas prices saw earlier i spoke to i. e correspondence jack park in brussels and next sunday in stroudsburg. and i started by asking jack to tell us more about the new sanctions on russia. well, we know that there's going to be a legal framework has been prepared for this car 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 binding 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 to the foreign ministry who said the new you sanctions don't hom hungry is interests. they been granted exemptions and those sanctions would have violated hungarian interests and endangered. the security of their energy supply hungry has been opposed to fossil fuel sanctions, pretty much since 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 them. the

european union has realized that it just cannot have hungry involved. so they just exempt them by the looks of things. and moving on without the hungarians. all right, max, if i can. if tina what's the european parliament response to 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, and party lines. is that the annexation of great territory by the russians is illegal. it's no and void. 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 tolerated to having some strong, a mark, sierra in the plenary a, some lawmakers took to the podium to call russia, terrorists state now the overall sentiment and i gather also is that it is but the majority of lawmakers,

or if the thought all are in favor of sanctioned some political groups of call for even more the conservative group a p p for example, is called for weapons deliveries. for tanks, artillery bite, russia and actually by germany and france to go to ukraine. sheesh, that's something that should be done. and then we've heard from blair, 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 european parliament and you will not tolerate russia's 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 to right. so at the you some top diplomats are joseph morrell. spoken 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. now that being said, it did not seem to be a top priority about among most there any peas here today in the debate actually spoke to one of the conservative a lawmakers 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 us would have sent a very strong message already a telling russia to, to back off with nuclear weapons. jack, this is the 8th sanctions package since had at february. how effective had the previous ones been? yeah, this is, this is the big question. the european commission present us live on the line. and 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 is being considered a sham. by the way, they continued russian, i believed them to be land 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 a 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 to day. and that's because later this week, the next 2 days of this week, we have a big summit in prague of e. u. 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. 8th 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. chapparal in brussels and next sunday in strasburg. thanks so

much. they said he a ukraine says it forces have retaken towns in the south and east of the country. including parts of the regions, russia illegally, annexed last week. official then stored by moscow had acknowledged setbacks in the her son region are correspondent mathias bellinger visits said 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. the period retrench would be more than 3 months now, since ukrainian president volume is zalinski and ice cubes counter offensive. in the salt law,

we are constantly trying to drive the enemy from their positions with these attempts have been successful 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 from us both for quite some time. ukraine 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 on the la hello elizabeth. these, it, they just keep aggressively charging at us unless they don't care about their own losses. garage and you get the impression that i just don't give a damn about their soldiers, that a couple of their tactics are simple. it's easy to read them or not. but for us,

this means that we have to be permanently on watch video. we can never, ever lower our guard. we set that up as a spoil. bizarre movers, laila valley behind the lines, villages have come under fire. russian forces passed through the settlement early on in the war. later, they were driven back. but since the territory has been back under ukrainian control, mission shells have been falling all over the place. glib bracelets that the in the beginning when my 1st experience the incoming fire and there were explosions everywhere, i thought it would bought 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 1000 russia has seen tremendous losses of personnel and equipment. that's why president putin has started mobilizing or troops. but the soldiers here are calm,

but the prospect of more russian reinforcements. when i move it, nebraska call, could you think a 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? now the soldiers are prepared for winter, hoping that they can gain as much territory as they can, for as long as the conditions allow it. we can speak now to the w mateus bedding her father report for us. he joins us from username, ukraine's south mathias. the ukrainian soldiers in your report come across as determined as com in their mission. all they still steadfast and i believe that they can win this war. well, of course, these gains that ukraine has made. they are inspirational to many of the soldiers and they boost morale. but i would say that we haven't really seen

a deep in determination during all this was the have been times where it was really tough and where soldiers would at least when they were off camera, say that they were under big pressure. and it was really tough for them. there were these times in the don bus, especially where russia was at 10 times more firepower than the ukrainians. they were really putting pressure on them. but overall, i would say the army and also the rest of the country. they keep or their morale, because there is the conviction here in ukraine that this war needs to be one if the country wants to have a future that wants to continue to exist in the way it exists. now we're hearing ukrainian forces have been making more disturbing discoveries in the wake of the russian retreat. what more can you tell us about that? not something that is happening all the time. but when they enter a new settlement, they will just, they just cover mass graves, we've seen some of them after they entered is human. know,

in the hock of region. they find new torture. chem bye. so the russians had to use some basements or other places to extract confessions to torture prisoners. today, one photo they have published was a box with golden teeth that they seem to have taken from the bodies of those who died in under their control in costa g. this, it seems to have been part of the russian invasion that they would pick some people say random of people from the street or those that they suspect of helping the ukrainian side giving over in from a ending over information or so. and then torture them and even kill them. it's something that we've seen from the very beginning from the 1st place is that the russians had left in the northeast of key. if i'm of west of keys and it's something that is repeating here,

that doesn't mean that every place is the same. there are also people in villages who say that the russians have left them alone, but that seems to be a system of repression that comes right into place after the russians enter in many places. all right, it is mateusz spending reporting from the asia. thank so much. now, britain's prime minister list truss addressed conservative lawmakers and party members during her conference speech today, she's been seeking to restore her or dorothy following a chaotic 1st month in power. this led to turmoil in the financial markets and in fi thing from within her own policy. she's looking to reassure conservative members and the wider u. k. public and investors. let's take a quick listen to some of what she had to say today. i have 3 priorities for our economy,

growth growth. and whenever this change, there is disruption, not everybody will be in favor of change. but everyone will benefit from the results. a growing economy enjoy now from london by d w. u k correspondent bergen, mass b. i know you were following a list, trust is speech. tell us. what did you make of how she came across and what she actually said? she was really trying to unite a party. it's the backdrop or backdrop of a serious financial crisis. high inflation, chronically. it seems low productivity in the u. k. and less trust strain to make the case once more that she's the only one who has a plan who's bold enough to get the country out of this slumber are mainly by aggressively cutting taxes. and this is how she represented again to day to the

party members. now she doesn't or explain how she's going to fund those cuts. are there any ah disadvantages, for example, cats and public services? are there any disadvantages for the environment? she is mentioned again that she wants to explore new oil fields for example, and she was heckled by and borrow mental protesters who these, who she then accused to be part of what she calls an end he growth agenda. so a lot was going on there in that speech, it went down fairly well though with the party base it was, i think, and the delivery of bid would in, but she was quite serious. and i think a lot of party members were like this anti tax and pro business plan, how she calls it. and this was trust. this 1st speech to the conservative party and conference, wasn't it? some people are saying it could be her last. so even though you know, her supporters in the party might have liked it, how much trouble is her?

is her government really in after just being in power for 4 weeks. when you look at the poles, she's in quite a lot of trouble since she took office, the conservative party has been become much, much more unpopular with the british public. she led trailing behind $25.00 points behind labor, who is the strongest opposition party. so that's not a good look for list trust. i spend 2 days at the conservative party conference i spoke to delegates and there is a lot of criticism of leadership and of the various u turns that she had to had to perform. and her shirt short tenure, one delegate said when they are at the canvassing at the doorstep, it was a counsellor. they always being told that the such a mess and the government and that they have to bear the brunt su altogether. the party is not in a happy place and the conservative party conference was not happy gathering things,

not looking good fellows trust bergen math in london, thanks so much for that. the tact billionaire elan mask has apparently had another change of heart over his plans to buy twitter. the tesla c o now says that he will buy the social media platform after all, for the price. originally, a decided on of $44000000000.00, and twitter filed a lawsuit over masks, attempt to back out of the deal a few months ago. if the takeover does that, now go ahead, it will put the world's richest person in charge of the highly influential global social media platform. and for more in this we can bring in allison stewart alan, she is the head of the advisory firm, international marketing partners and joins us now from london. hi allison, at what do you think is behind a little on masks change of mind? well, i think there's a number of factors,

but the key one has to be the fact that this lawsuit that he initiated against twitter is increasingly looking like he doesn't have a chance at winning it. and in fact, at some point this week, he's been scheduled to be deposed when he is meant to reveal his motivations behind the acquisition or not pulling out of it. and i think he's a very private person who's concerned about that. he'll be asam pretty tough questions. perhaps even some personal questions that he wouldn't want to answer. i mean, it isn't long ago, in fact, only in the last few weeks that some of his private tweets and texts have been made very public with other tech entrepreneurs with whom he corresponds. so i think he's a little bit nervous about having much of his private life also revealed in the course of being deposed, said the world's richest man has been backed into

a corner. is this that for now close to being a done deal? or do you think he might possibly change his mind will ever again now i think this is likely now to become a for the, for the purchase to go through for this transaction to be completed. and the real question then is, what does he do with this asset? because owning a social media platform comes with lots of scrutiny. lots of attention from law makers, from advertisers, from users. now he's been rumored to, well, it has even said publicly that he intends to integrate twitter into sort of a super app called x for the time being and has a great admiration for we chat the chinese app. and i think the ultimate goal,

perhaps for musk, is to bring twitter into the fold of a super app where you can communicate using twitter you can make purchases, you can be entertained, and you can do lots of other things transact and lots of other applications, all under one roof and a kind of one stop shop app. and there are lots of rumors and speculation that this is really his ultimate goal for twitter to, to bring it into a bigger universe if you like. think clearly a huge deal. what time frame the we looking at an well, that's anybody's guess. you know, in way it's a function of how quickly lawyers can, can get the paperwork done. how quickly terms can be agreed. it could be within a week, it could be within a few months. a lot of it really depends on whether the details have already been hammered out up to this point because of course they've had that time to scrutinize

what they want and the terms that they are asking for on mosques side of the table . so who knows? i think that the, the real focus and interest that, that business people will have, of course is how do you commercialize twitter under a musk leadership in ways that so far haven't been exploited? what leverage is there to actually get more money out of the twitter brand and the twitter platform? and i think that's going to be the real test of whether this acquisition is worth it or, or not worth it. fascinating stuff. allison still alan. thank you so much for your time. thank you. all right, i'm to take a 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 crackdown on anti government demonstrations. protests of 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, jacob widow has visited the city of milan. the sight of last weekend's deadly stampede at a football match widow met with victim's relatives and promised to find what he called the root cause of the disaster that left at least 131 people dead. as he is nobel prize for chemistry will be shared by 3 scientists more than mel dal from denmark and carolyn, but hose ian barry sharp las from the u. s. now they've been recognized for the development of bio orthogonal chemistry and quick chemistry which involves attaching molecules together to create materials. the announcement makes barry sharp las only the 5th person ever to receive a 2nd. no bell prize with me now mysteriously al pressure from d. w. science department. hi leah. tell us what this click chemistry is all about.

well, kalika chemistry is a bid legged sounds. it's about clicking are the building blocks, the tiny, tiny building blocks of all things together without highlight lego, it bit like lego. yeah. you could, you could compare that exactly. so these tiny building blocks, they are molecules and we see that nature is very good at doing that at clicking them together. that weren't building complex structures out of them. and, and they are the muddles for pharmaceuticals. for example, are, are for materials, but it's not very easy to rebuild these structures in the lab. so now click chemistry comes in, and it introduced a new way to use some kind of buckles or some kind of glue to stick these molecules together and to really tightly stick them in, easily stick them together. so tell us about the other 3 laureates. the very clever people who have been researching into this well, barriers sharper. this was the 1st to develop the concept of click chemistry and his ideas spread across the chemistry world and was used by lot of teams. and

researchers and modern milda was the 1st to put things into practice. so he found a very specific reaction out of the 1st kind of kind of click a chemistry reaction where he used copper as the buckle or the glue. now that worked for him, but copper isn't really healthy in be quantity, at least in health or in living bodies and living cells. so, and that's where karen by toes he comes in because she found out that you can also use kind of a complex sugar. and as a buckle, and she took kick, click chemistry to another level, a living organisms. and the all important question, of course, how does all of this affect our lives? yeah, well the good thing is that you can also click, am shane you molecules on to other elements that you want to make visible. so you can track with this. you can track different processes. you can track how these use are developed, for example, or how, how drugs are working in our body where they go. so that met the development of

targeted drugs, more possible, for example, for cancer therapy. and there are clinical trials right now going on with that. so credibly relevant that definitely, yeah, it also material science that's relevant because we can click in substances into materials that can conduct electricity for example, or that can be anti bacterial. so we see a wide range, but it's also quite new field. so we can expect more to come from click chemistry. okay. so it is actually being used in clinical trials right now. yeah. yeah, exactly. yet as for cancer therapy, that is so, but in other, in other areas as well, it is, it's widely used. and i guess it's really more to come, i mean that it's 20 years ago that her shop was made up the idea of click therapy, which in scientific of click a chemistry of course, which and scientific terms isn't a very long period of time. so there's more, yeah, we really expect more to come from that field. really interestingly, albert from

d. w. science. thanks so much. and that's all we have time for now. don't forget, you can always get d w news on the go. just download our app from google play or from the apple app store. that'll give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news. coming up next night in germany, looks green alternative to plastic, and i'm on the cook's mckinnon on behalf of the whole team here. thanks so much for watching d. w and youth ah,

with what of these mountains of waste could just disappear? sustainable packaging is urgently sought bags made from algae, home, from mushrooms,

the future of sustainability. when will new technologies become cost effective? made in germany on dw ah, a. and the pillar of sticks and society, a symbol of arbitrary rule. in the struggle for justice taxes in many ways i think taxation is one of the most extreme actions by a government. but it's also the definition of government because without taxation there's no the right to levy taxes and the obligation to pay them both inherent

in the sovereignty of nation states and their citizens. but what happens when the power of taxation is undermined? attack as on top of the tax on top of the tax, that's the straw that broke the camel's back. i've been renting forever thinking to myself when the door going to come crashing down. you pay won't pay. taxation and politics starts october 21st on d. w. ah ah ah ah, it's true that protecting the environment is off next,
