ah ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, e u leaders cool on russia to stop making threats to use nuclear weapons. the demand was issued following a summit in prague, the formalized a fresh round of sanctions against russia for its war of aggression in ukraine. also coming up the nobel peace prize goes to 3 champions of human rights,

jailed bell russian activist. alas, gal. yep. ski is honored alongside russia's memorial organization and ukraine's center. the civil liberties. ah i menu we can and welcome to the program. e leaders have reaffirmed that continuing support of ukraine in its defense against russian aggression leaders. wrapped up an informal summit in prague that they said had also moved the block closer to finding common steps to averting an energy crisis this winter, his e u commission president or fluff on the line. i'm very encouraged that we managed yesterday to close the latest rounds of hard biting sanctions against

russia in record time. once again, we've moved fast and we have moved with force. we've made progress on the oil price cut with our enhanced export band. we continue to undermine put his ability to wage war in ukraine. and with our widened import van, we deprive him further of important revenues of brussels bureau chief alexander of phenomena is in prague. and she told me earlier about the unity between the european countries which helped them adopt these measures against moscow. well, i would say to, to, you has managed to stay united with its support for ukraine. and of course, with the sanctions that today are keeping us in introducing up on the line, spoke about the new round of sanctions that the leaders approved here at this is the package number aids aimed at closing existing loopholes and

increasing the pressure on the regime in moscow, however, we also have to say that it's clear that it is becoming increasingly difficult to go further. and there are a few members states who think that what's been done is enough, for instance, hungry and the prime minister there. he has a claim for instance, that it is a small european elite that is responsible for the sanctions that he would like to have a referendum on the sanctions. however, we of course have to say that the victor r one was always at the table when those decisions were made for unit to yes, but we also see some divisions that, of course, the kremlin is attempting to exploit a fall. following the talks, we saw a press conference where the main topics were summarized. can you give us, give us

a sense of what the most important points that were made? well, i think that the most important point was here indeed that you leaders made clear that they were determined to continue supporting ukraine woods, military and financial financial assistance as long as its takes. and they listened to the ukrainian president zalinski add to his concerns. and of course at the top of the agenda here was the energy crisis. and here we have to say that it seems to be difficult to find a solution as her friendship president, him alone. mccomb put it, there is no magic wand to a tackle the energy crisis that's putting it mildly now. germany of course has been drawing a loss of criticism for announcing its own energy aid package. and that's actually something that chancellor shaw it's addressed in his press conference a little earlier. so we're going to take a quick listen to what he, what,

what he had to say. this is a muffler, it's clear that every market intervention and every price cup automatically raises questions about the security of energy supplies of vehicles. that's why we have to discuss these things in great detail. we've agreed that the energy ministers will examine the advantages and disadvantages of the proposals for left. i will discuss this or the next european council meeting in brussels. i can't log on. white said more examining, more discussing what did you make of what the chancellor had to say a alexander. so it's was very diplomatic. you're not saying straight away that germany is still opposing a price cap on gas, but that was actually what his message was. so german is open for discussion discussions, but still warning against any intervention in the markets. instead, the german chancellor seems to be convinced that the better way to solve the crisis is to speak with other nations who are also reliable. who are also rely on on

gas or others energy sources of course. and it will make more sense in the, from his perspective, to speak to those nations, to find a common solution and not to have a cap that could alienate reliable suppliers like norway, for instance, alexander, thank you. that's alexander fun. nomine reporting from prague. now this he has no val peace prize is being shared by 3 champions of human rights. the jailed bell, russian rights activist alice b l. yet ski rushes memorial organization and ukraine's center for civil liberties . the joint award highlights the significance of civil society for peace and democracy. the most highly anticipated announcement in a week of awards. at the stroke of 11 in oslo,

the chair of norway's nobel committee ended the speculation. this year's peace prize is awarded to human rights advocate o. s b ali, asking from billers the russian human rights organization memorial and the ukrainian human rights organization. santa for civil liberties. together with another, the committee informed the winners in chief by phone till so congratulations. oh, oh, it's okay it's, it's sir. oh, it's great. oh, thank you. the c c else as they stand by the recognition of their efforts to hold the invading russian army accountable. still, graham, we are documenting russian military war crimes in ukraine to write the whole

country with the most of the land. in particular, our team went to the key region and the 1st stage when it was liberated by here, we have more than 20000 crimes registered as of now is really in, is watching. the committee also recognized alice bailey etzky, a long time leader of the democracy movement in belarus. he was detained following anti government protests in 2020, and remains in jail without trial. russia's memorial group has also had to battle state repression. for decades it's been tracking human rights abuses and the fight of political prisoners. but it was ordered to dissolve last year, as part of the kremlin ever taught an incorrect down on descent. that the premium, the youth calculated this prize gives us fresh moral strength. there are no doubt but moral approval for all of us, not long and for many of our colleagues live and not only within memorial media either at the body. we consider this prize them to be attribute to the russian

human rights community as a whole. when we're sold, the nobel committee says this year's prize was not intended to be a direct message to the russian president with a most though it's another stinging rebuke for the repressive regime of vladimir putin. which also happens to fall on his 70th birthday. okay, let's take a look now, some of the other stories making news around the world. u. s. president joe biden has pardon thousands of people convicted under federal law of possessing marijuana . he did not call for full d criminalization of cannabis, but said no one should be into jail just for using the drug. people convicted under state laws are not affected by this executive action, which comes about a month ahead of mid term elections when biden's democrats may lose control of congress. the united nations is calling for a humanitarian corridor to allow the distribution of fuel from haiti's main terminal and put a pass and outbreak of cholera there and surging gang violence of raised

international concern. prime minister ariel on, they used a speech to the nation to call for international assistance. the world health organization has issued an alert against using several cough and cold drugs. blame for fatal kidney damage. at least $66.00 children in gambia said to have died after ingesting one of the for indian made medicines, gambino authorities of band the treatments and, and now going door to door to collect them. now the sport of chests has been in the spotlight in recent weeks, been not for reasons that it would want because accusations of cheating have been swirling around us grandmaster, hans niemen, with niemen denying that he's getting electronic signals to tell him what moves to make when you're at the center of a chest cheating scandal. the security checks are going to be farrah. but as the rest championships got underway this week has niemen remains tight lit. i think

that this game spoke for itself and showed the chest for the name and it also showed that them i'm not going to back down and i'm going to play my best chest here regardless of the partial. and i'm under the accusations, come from the very top of the sport, magnus carlson, the world's best player 1st hinted at neiman's alleged cheating. early last month that followed a shock defeat to niemen that ended his $53.00 game and beaten streak. and there, there we have an odd shape, then name and admitted to cheating and to mind the games online when he was younger . but he said he play in the news to prove he doesn't wear an electronic device. yeah. they can literally terminals ridiculous thing. they want me ship fully naked . i'll do it. i don't care because i know i know that i'm clean and i'm willing to, to subject myself. you want, you want me to play in the, in a, in a closed box with 0 electronic transmission. i don't care, you know, death in the scandal crank shop a level 2 weeks later,

during an online game between the pair. what? no colson, quitting the game after, just one move, magnet johnson just resign. got up and left, switched off his camera. and that's all we know right now. afterwards he accused niemen directly for the 1st time writing on social media. i believe that nieman has cheated more and more recently than he has publicly admitted this week. the website chest dot com said it found niemen, had probably cheated in more than 100 online games, but never in person, but one demons. meteoric rise up. the rankings has raised eyebrows. others in the sports have defended him. they say there's been nothing out of the ordinary and nothing to suggest cheating. like i spoke to kenneth reagan earlier, he's a chest cheating expert. he's been looking into the niemen case. and i, austin, how does someone cheat a chest?

there are various ways that have been done in over the board chests, including, i think, in camera and your piece, a computer issue, getting signals to a phone in a pocket. the most common way, however though, is doesn't require an accomplice, is just going to some secluded locations, such as the bathroom stall to check the game on one cell phone. because of the sad reality that these things can play far stronger than carlson or any other human beings. so there's plenty of variety of options now. you know something of a chest detective. how easy is it to detect cheating and to prove it as well. it's very difficult that the wicked problem because it has a societal contingencies that various factors that can influence the final interpretation of the probability numbers that i get. what about name? and i mean, we just heard in that report he offered to play in the news just to prove that he's innocent. is he clean? right? so let me clarify something right away. my stand is that he is not cheated and i

have no evidence of his cheating and over the board chest, nor an online check since august 2020, which is the end date of the allegations of the chest dot com report. and the chest dot com reported its preamble does support these findings as far as saying it has no concrete evidence either. so it's so in defending him, in the timeframe of more recently in the way that most people have interpreted back this carlos it's worked okay. understood, let's talk about an anti cheating technology. can it keep up all cheaters really getting away with things on the, on site arbiter is, has been very effective. they caught someone with a mobile phone in turn him at the very recently not clear whether the person had gotten to the stage of being able to effectively cheat with it. the think feel cup

used ones as the u. s. championships currently going on at the same location, electronic devices. there are some limits on measures. one can take in europe, especially chest turn of a venue is are public places and you cannot do r f jamming. they're kind of 3 going to university at buffalo. it's been a pleasure speaking with you. thank you. thank you very much. you're watching d. w. news coming up. next is news asia with my colleague bent hazard and i'm and you can make it and i'll be back at the top of the hour with more international headlights. thanks for watching. ah . people in trucks injured when trying to see the city center more and more refugees are being turned away as a family tact inferior to the.
